Broken: Hello everyone. Yes. We're back with a chapter!
Grim: Yeppers, and we even got our first troll!
Broken: Oh, how lovely.
Grim: Indeed. Anyways, kid. If you don't like the story, get the fuck outta here. We're not here to please you motherfuckers, alright? We're here because we love writing.
Broken: And it's sad how you don't have an account.
Grim: Yep, cause now it's live! Congratulations. You're in our A.N. Oh, you must feel so special!
Broken: Yeah! Because only special people get on this thing!... okay... I lied. You don't have to be special.
Grim: Uh-huh. You either got to be a failing troll (you), or you gotta be a buddy that has an OC, or something we feel like adding.
Broken: You guys should know our rule. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FUCKING STORY, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, AND NEVER RETURN!
Grim: And who the hell is a Mary Sue? I'm not, and surely Broken isn't. Zack can't be, and neither can Jasper and Hanabi. They all have problems.
Broken: No offense Zack.
Grim: Yeah. No offense. Anyways, just thought I'd say that. ENJOY THE CHAPTER!
Broken: AND IF NOT OH WELL!
After being in the water a while, Zack had finally dragged Grim out.
"What is your problem?" he asked, watching as she curled into a tight ball. "First you run away, and then you don't even want my help when you're drowning? I don't get it!"
"No one said I was smart..." she mumbled, not even looking at him. He sighed, and helped her up.
"Come on. Lets go." he said quietly, helping her towards the town.
The walk back was silent. Anytime Zack had asked her something, she always kept quiet, and usually avoided his gaze.
"So... what have you been doing since you left?" he asked, hoping she would answer. She shrugged, and gave a little squeak. Not the reply I was hoping for... He thought, giving a tiny sigh.
"Why aren't you talking?" he asked, looking at her a little sad. She gave him another shrug.
"Just don't feel like it..." she whispered, her voice quiet and hard to hear.
"Please tell me what's wrong. I can probably help you." he begged. She shook her head a little. Reaching over, he took her hand in his.
"Come on. You know I can help." he told her.
"No." she said quietly, taking her hand back. He sighed, and put his head down.
"At least say hi to everyone, Grim. They all miss you." he spoke, looking at her a little. She nodded, and followed him to the hotel the others were staying in.
Hilton Hotel
"GRIM!" Rawr and Shatter screamed, hugging the Sakunam as hard as they could. She didn't return it. She only stood there, a small smile on her face.
"We've missed you!" Shatter spoke, looking at the girl.
"Yeah, I know. Zack told me so." she replied quietly. As time passed, many more of the Sakunam's friends came out, all hugging her.
"How dare you leave us!" Broken said, as he walked up behind his sister.
"How dare you shout!" she replied, smiling at the Kit, who gave her a hug.
"Why did you leave?" Rev asked, staring at the girl. She only shrugged, not looking at the Misfit.
"Because she's crazy." Broken mumbled. The comment he made got him a punch in the arm by his sister.
"No. That's not it!" she replied, glaring at him.
"Then what was it?" he asked, crossing his arms.
"Don't you have something to blow up?" she hissed, gritting her teeth. The Kit thought for a moment, before smiling.
"OH YEAH!" he said happily, running away.
"So... what was the reason?" Nny asked, looking at the girl, who only shrugged.
"Really don't wanna talk about it." she said quietly, looking at the ground. No one spoke, all of them at a loss for words.
"Are you staying?" Mark finally asked, breaking the silence. Once more, Grim shrugged.
"I don't know. Maybe?" she replied, looking at the Deth.
"Please stay." Yumi said quietly, her eyes staring at her friend.
"I guess I can..." Grim spoke, making most of them smile.
"YAY!" Rawr shouted happily, hugging the Sakunam once more, everyone soon joining in.
As the hours passed, the time was close to one in the morning, and Grim didn't try falling asleep. She just sat on the bed, Zack sleeping peaceful beside her. Taking out a small picture, Grim found herself going back to her childhood, remembering everything that happened when she was six. She could remember walking home with Broken after school, sometimes stopping at the store to get something for both of them. They usually slowly walked home, for fear that their parents would be in yet another fight.
Throughout the years of her having the only picture she had of her, Broken, and her parents, she figured something out. She figured out how much she hated her mother and father for leaving. She figured out how much she hated that cult Hell Shade, and how happy she was killing the leaders. She figured out how much Broken meant to her. She promised she would get revenge on whoever harmed her brother. She promised she would even give her life to make sure he was okay.
Memories passed through Grim's mind, as the once picture she held near and dear became the reason for her hate, even though it wasn't. Standing up, she grabbed a box of matches she found, and went out onto the balcony. She took one last look at her family photo, remembering everything up until the day her parents left. Then, without another thought, she lit the match, and brought the burning fire to the picture. The corner she had lit quickly caught fire, allowing the flame to spread around the photo. She watched it burn, wishing that she could just get rid of the memories of her past life. All of it caused my new problem. She hissed in her mind, her red eyes watching the picture burn, and her lips soon turning into a smile. She then let the picture drop to the ground, once she felt the need to no longer hold onto it. She watched what was left of the photo drop to the ground, and put the box of matches on the ground, staring at the ground.
"What are you doing out here? Aren't you cold?" a voice came, only belonging to Zack. The Sakunam looked at the boy, and shrugged.
"I'm fine," she replied quietly, looking up at the dark sky. "I just couldn't sleep..."
"So you came out here?" he asked, putting an arm around her. She nodded.
"Yeah... I guess so..." she said, soon turning her attention to the ground where her picture had dropped, avoiding the gaze of the Misfit.
"Why are you really out here?" he asked, looking at her. Her ears fell against her hair, the small flames not even trying to set it ablaze.
"Just got rid of something." she told him quietly, now trying to search for the little piece of paper that had that image on it.
"Got rid of what?" he asked. The girl grit her teeth.
"GOD IT'S TWENTY QUESTIONS WITH YOU!" she shouted, slight tears forming in her eyes, as she pushed his arm away, and walked into the room.
"I don't get why you're like this, Grim." he spoke, following her.
"Like what, Zack? So insane? Have you not seen my life?" she hissed, glaring at him. "I'm infected, and have a fucking memory I want to get rid of! Nothing makes it go away!" she shouted, leaning against a wall, allowing a few tears to slide down her cheeks.
"It's okay." he told her in a soother voice. A little surprisingly, she allowed the Misfit to give her a hug.
"I just want my old life back." she muttered, her voice muffled by the boy's shirt. He gently placed a kiss on her head, patting her back.
"Don't worry, Grim. Everything will be okay. Doesn't everything turn out fine for us?" he spoke, looking into her watery eyes.
"Now that I think of it... No! It doesn't!" she told him.
"Just trying to cheer you up..." he said quietly. For once, Grim smiled. Zack hadn't seen that smile for almost a year. Please let this mean everything will go back to normal. He thought, feeling the girl hug him tighter. Fighting the urge to ask why she had ran off, he just led her to the bed, gently laying her down.
"You're gonna be alright now, right?" he asked, looking at her. "No running away this time?"
"Promise I won't leave." she told him, a smile on her face. Smiling back, Zack got in bed, and kissed her cheek, feeling the coolness on his lips. He watched her close her eyes and drift off, before slowly doing the same thing.
Broken: There it is!
Grim: Yes! But we're not done yet!
Broken: To our awesome friend: XENA!
Grim: Buddy, don't say sorry to this failing troll. Lets face it. He ain't gonna leave, with you trying to be all nice. Let thy Grim handle it.
Broken: And because I fear what you're going to say, I'll say it! KID! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT! GET THE FUCK OFF OUR STORY, NOW!

Broken: IF I WANTED TO SAY THAT I WOULD!
Grim: I'm thinking of it...
Broken: Say it. I dare you.
Grim: OKAY!
Broken: Seriously?

Broken: This is why we gotta lay off the movies...
Grim: Who gives a fuck? My life. Not theirs!
Broken: And that's all the time we have.
Grim: Aw! Really?
Broken: No, but I don't want you going all R. Lee Ermey on these guys.
Grim: WHATEVER!
Broken: Bye guys!
Grim: SEE YA! *waves*
