Hola, mi amigos. This is the subject of procrastination- and yes, I can hear you tutting- but honestly, this has been bugging me since I saw an amazing Fanvid for 2.15, and I just couldn't start preparing for my GCSE Spanish exam just yet. (Hence the linguistic welcome). One of the first things you will notice when you finally start reading this (my introductions are long and tedious)is that I decided not to use speech marks. I got the idea when reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, similarly told through a child's eyes and without speech marks, and I thought I'd relate it to this. (Don't worry- my grammar and punctuation skills aren't that terrible- hopefully). So, I was also wondering if you wanted me to continue and maybe make this a twoshot. (Is that a thing, a twoshot? I'm kinda new to FanFiction lingo.) Do you want Danny to get some revenge on Peterson? Maybe a bit of a fight between them? Some Steve protectiveness, maybe? (Not Slash! Ever!) Some whumpage from a fight? Let me know with some comments, suggestions and criticisms. Fiiiinaaallly, I don't own Hawaii Five 0. Now giddy up with it, such fun!

*~Grace~*

It's cold in here, Danno. I don't like it. I want to go home. The tape around my wrists is hurting. My fingers are going numb.

Help me, Danno. It's so dark. I can't reach you. I'm so tired, but I can't fall asleep. If I close my eyes I can see him, the man who locked me in here.

Where are you, Danno? I want to shout. I want to scream and cry until someone hears me and lets me free. But all the tears are gone. They're in a pool at my feet.

I can't make a sound. I'm too scared. The man, he hit me. Put his hand over my mouth. Told me to stay quiet.

I'm doing it for you, Danno. He says he'll hit me again. But I'm strong, like you. You're Superman. But he told me you would die if I didn't do what he said. So that's why I'm here. Without you.

His fist was hard. And big, really big. I can feel the blood on my forehead, and this time I can't help but cry.

Where are you, Danno? Are you coming? You will. I know you will. You'll jump out of the shiny silver car, with Super SEAL Steve and Uncle Chin and Auntie Kono. You'll lift the big red door and you'll hug me tighter than you've ever hugged anyone before. And then we'll all go home, together, with Mummy and Charlie and Step Stan.

That's what I'm telling myself, as the silence rattles inside of my head and the darkness makes me shiver.

Grace! you shout. Is it you, Danno? Are you here?

Danno, I say.

Stay back, you shout. I'm going to get the door open.

There's a big bang and I'm scared it's the man again, to take my away from you. I can't stop crying, I just want to see you again, Danno.

Gracie! you yell. All the big boxes stacked up in front of me come crashing down.

And suddenly you are beside me, telling me everything is going to be okay. Uncle Steve gets out his knife and I feel scared, but it's okay, he says. He's getting the tape off. He slashes it, making big cuts so it falls off and I can move again.

Danno, I whisper, just to make sure you're there. Don't leave me again, I say.

You kneel down and lace your fingers in mine. You lift me up and pull me into a big hug, just like I thought you would.

And then come the questions. Are you okay, baby? You say. You wrap your arms around me and I don't let go, just keep crying into your shoulder. Anything hurt? you ask, and I don't want to say, don't want to tell you what he did.

All of a sudden I can see him again, feel the spikes of his knuckles as he hits me, hard across the face, and the blood that trickles down.

Did he hurt you? You try again. I touch my face.

I see the look in your eyes as you see the bruises. It's so angry, so full of fury. I reach out to touch them but you push my hands away. It's okay, you say. Does it hurt? I nod. Your eyes burn like fire but you keep holding my hand, so tight.

I put my arms around your neck and you carry me out into the street.

Rachel! You shout. I watch Mummy run up to us, crying like me, but with a big, watery smile. She reaches out and holds me close with you stroking my hair.

Don't let go, I whisper. You promise not to, and we stand there, in the alleyway, until we feel safe again.

Thanks a lot for reading! Please comment and suggest things if you want me to continue. I've gotta little something lined up so I might make that an extra fic, I'm not sure yet. Again, no soy dueno Hawaii Five 0 (There, if I say something in Spanish can I not revise?) Oh, and I know that in the actual episode Grace didn't get hurt, but I wanted to write up Danny's reaction. I promise, I only hurt those that I love. Thanks guys!
