A blonde girl looked at Grim, they sat in a booth together, surrounded by darkness, her eyes were blue and her hair was golden, Grim recognized her from some of his dream, but who was she? As he looked at her more he realized who she was, it was his ex wife, her name was "Hope" she was the Daughter of Life, Grim looked at her and said "Is that really you Hope?". Suddenly the booth was gone, Hope faded into darkness, and Grim was alone, he looked down at the ground, there was some thin black liquid he was standing on, he heard foot prints behind him. Grim turned around to see the tall shadowy figure from yesterday, it's glowing white eyes beat down on Grim as it look at him, it slowly put its hand out signaling to grim to hold it, as Grim reached towards it hand, a loud roar was heard in the distance, the shadow figure began to run away, Grim slowly woke up.
Tiana was poking Grim once more trying to wake him up, each poke had Grims eyes open a bit more, soon enough grim woke up and said "What's going on, what do you need Tiana...?",she looked at him and said "a girl was at the door, she said her name was Hope?". Grim quickly shot up to see Hope sitting in a chair across from him, Hope waved and smiled at Grim as he started to freak out a little, Grim quickly got up and went to his bedroom and paced around. Tiana looked at Hope and said "I should go talk to him, I'm sorry about that" Hope quickly replied and said "No it's fine my dear, I understand if he's a little scared to see me, it's been years since we have talked...", Tiana shook her head and said to Hope "I'll go talk to him", she then walked into the room she shares with Grim. As Grim paced he soon stopped and looked at the door as it opened, Tiana looked at him and said "What's wrong Grim?", Grim replied by saying "nothings wrong...I'm just a little spooked is all...", Grim had felt bad for lying to her, but he thought Tiana would see him as creepy or weird if she knew about his dreams. Tiana hugged him and said "it's fine, I understand why, just go out there and talk to her", Grim looks at her and says "Ok T..." he began to walk out.
As Grim weakly walked out to sit in front of Hope, he gets that strange feeling again, he decided to ignore it and sat down, he looks at Hope and says "So what brings you here?", Hope smiled and said "Well I decided I'd stop by, I'm moving in by the woods", Grims eyes widened and his mind went crazy. Grim gets a hold of himself and says "O-oh really, where in the woods?", she then said "West of this house actually, deep in the woods", Grim had thought about where that Shadow figure was, it was west of his house, deep in the woods. Grim let's out a nervous laugh, "It's nice to know that I'll be seeing you a lot more now!", she smiles more and says "yes it really will be! I look forward to us talking more! Maybe we could have a picnic?" Grim looks at her and responded by saying "I wish we could but, I've been under the wether....ya know?", Hopes smile goes to a slight frown before saying "Oh alright then, I hope you get better!".
After awhile of talking Hope eventually left, Tiana sat with Grim and wrapped her arm around her, she looks and says "What's been up with you Grim?", he replied by saying "It's nothing T..." she grabbed his arm and said "Grim, don't lie to me, I know somethings wrong, please don't hide things from me!". Tiana continued to yell at him, as he looks blank at the ground, spaced out of everything, before snapping back into reality, Tiana was crying and holding him, digging her fingers into her back as she emotionally broke down before him, Grim had realized that he had blanked out and he hugged Tiana to try and comfort her, she tightly held him as she cried more, eventually passing out. Grim soon picked her up and carried her to the bedroom and tucked her in, he laid next to her and slowly drifted off.
