Grim had been blinded by a bit of light, but after rubbing them he realized it wasn't God finally letting him rest, but instead it was lights from a make up room, possibly on set for a movie. When he looked around he could see a blonde girl sitting in a chair doing make up, humming to herself as she applied whatever she had, before her phone soon rang. She looked down at her phone and picked it up, answering it with a kind "Hello?", soon enough the tone in her voice changed as she said "Ya it really has been awhile hasn't it...". Grim looked at the girl, he didn't know why but he felt like crying for some reason, something about her seemed special, he then realized it was the same girl from these past dreams. The girl clenched her phone and made a fist, and then said "Ok then, nice hearing from you..." before hanging up and throwing the phone at the wall, she gripped onto her head and started to scream and cry, and then punched her mirror, the room filled with a black liquid and soon consumed Grim, he then slowly woke up.

It was dark out, and Grims back felt like it was in agony, he looked up and saw the engine of his car smoking, and the hood nowhere to be found, he was stuck between trees and rocks, and their was no way he was getting home anytime soon. Grim started digging through all his pockets and soon found his phone, but it was dead, not a single bit of life in it, he checked his holsters and found that only one of his guns were okay, the other was busted in half. His bones made a cracking noise as he got up and held his left arm with his right, his black blood dripping as he walked, he thought to himself "If we get to the road, maybe we can find some help...Fuck Tiana will be worried sick!". Grim was grabbing on to tress and rocks as he walked, trying to keep his balance, it wasn't the blood loss that was affecting him, it was the pain he felt from half of his bones broken and trying to regenerate, although his mind was everywhere he knew one thing was for certain, he needed to get to the road.

The moon was full and acted as a good source of light to help guide Grim through the forest, the sounds of owls and crickets worked as a good noise to help him relax in this stressful situation. As he drag himself through the snow he was thinking about what lead him to this situation, "those shadow people must be growing some following or something, one was all I needed to scare the hell out of me" he thought out loud. Sometimes when he looks around he swears he can see their white glowing eyes as he walks,for all he knows they may be watching him as he struggles to walk, laughing or getting pleasure as they watch him struggle, but he doesn't take them as the type to make sounds. Grim decided he needed some motivation to keep walking, so he decided to think about Tiana, she was a funny girl and she truly liked him, something Grim doesn't expect from a mortal, but Grim knew one thing, she had secrets, and lots of them, but so did he, either way he loved her more than any demon or sinner on earth or Hell, and he knew she was the closet he'd get to meeting another Angel or a Goddess. As Grim was thinking he looked up ahead and noticed that he was getting close to a road, he started to run a bit towards it, with nothing but hope that he'd find someone to help him, once he got to the road he looked around to find nothing at all, but he knew that he had to keep some Faith that someone would find him, he soon laid down tired, he need his body to rest and regenerate, as he closed his eyes in the comfort of the snow, he started to hear tires rolling on the road, and soon enough he fell asleep.
