I punch the bag really hard and try to imagine it as a scary grimm monster like mom told me to, but I'm so tired. I just want to go to bed and sleep til I'm seven.

"Stop slacking off!" mom yells. She is right by me so it hurts my ears when she yells.

"But mom, it doesn't look like a monster at all, it just looks like a punching bag to me" I complain.

I turn around, she looks really angry, I wish I could go back and not say that.

"So its just to difficult, is that it?" She bends down and smiles, but its a scary smile.

"No its okay, I can do it" I turn around and punch harder to show her I can do it now.

I hear a door open behind me, I turn and mom is gone.

"Mom"? She doesn't answer.

Then I hear a loud noise, a big crack opens in the wall next to me.

"Mom, is that you"? I turn to face the crack and I see them. Red eyes.

I turn and run to the door mom went out of.

I knock and yell for her to open it. "Mom, let me out"!

"Its okay Willow, I thought that you should fight a real grimm, since you have so much trouble imagining a fake one" Her voice is coming from the speakers on the wall.

"No, I'm sorry mom, please let me out"! tears run down my face as I look back and see the crack getting bigger.

"This is your own fault dear and I'm not letting you out until you kill the grimm" Her voice is sweet and mean and slimy.

"Mom!"

"I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry"!

She doesn't answer.

Then I hear a thump against the wall, the grimm is almost out. I turn around and press against the door.

I look for a place to hide, but there isn't any.

The weapons on the wall are all to big for me, but I know theres a little knife in a box on the other side of the room.

I start to run to get it, but its to late. The grimm monster jumps into the room and starts chasing me.

I scream as it catches up and one of its tusks goes into my lower back. It shakes its head and I go flying across the room. I see the wall getting closer and then everything goes black.

"You can do it Willow, just a little higher" mom laughs.

I'm trying to climb a tree with her, but I'm only four and I can't reach the branch.

"Mom". I yell, then I sit and start to cry.

I feel someone take my hands away from my eyes and I see my moms face, She is sitting cross legged on the grass in front of me smiling a sweet smile and laughing.

"Silly, don't you know I'll never leave you behind".

Then she starts to tickle me, and I can't help but laugh too.

I open my eyes.

I'm lying on the floor and the grimm is almost on top of me. I hurt all over but I stand and face it.

I have to fight, no more running.

I wipe the tears out of my eyes so I can see and drop into a stance mom taught me. I can do this. I turn and jump to the side right before it runs me over.

Then I run as fast as I can to the box with my knife and take it out.

"Silly, don't you know I'll never leave you behind" I hear moms voice saying in my head.

I shake off the memory and turn to face the grimm again, Its eyes are filled with hate as it kicks the floor with its foot and charges again.

This time I run to meet it. When its two feet away I drop and slide under it and push my knife into its belly. It squeals and falls on top of me, I can't breathe for a little, then its gone leaving something that looks like rose petals.

I try to get up, but I can't. I feel so tired, I just want to go to bed. I'm only six after all.

I close my eyes and hear moms shoes on the floor.

"Silly, look at all this blood, I thought I trained you better".

Thats the last thing I hear.
