Chapter Twelve - Watch It Burn

Hey guys! I hope you haven't missed this story too much! It may just be the longest one (counting Black Space and Time of Dying) I have on this site, so I'm hoping I didn't leave you in too much suspense. ;)

I find it funny that you guys are so shocked about this grandparent thing. If you read Forever, I thought you would've seen it coming. cx It says in there that Mina would've been considered siren royalty, and that her grandparents were basically the king and queen of the sea. xD

Evx : Yes, she does really need to get back to Teague. Of course, we're going to find out about what's going on with him and Jared this chapter... :3 They have a plan, remember? We need to see them put it into action.

Guest 1 : I guess we can only find out from me writing!

booknerd00 : I'm glad it was still good, even if it didn't go in the direction you expected!

heywassuphelloo : Don't worry, they'll explain...Just not in this chapter. :p

Mouse : Oh no, don't die! D: I can't be a murder! And thank you so much! c: That means a lot to hear you say that!

Guest 2 : I'm glad you do! I'm gonna be sad when this ends, as we're getting closer and closer.


"What?" I stare at her, confused.

"Scream!" She whisper-shouts at me.

"I don't know what you'r-" My words melt into a shriek of pain as she slams into me. Queen and King don't flinch, but I do. I don't get a good look at Coral, mainly because I'm stumbling away from her, my ears ringing. "What was that for?!"

"It was proving that you're a siren, and Fae." Coral shrugs, before turning back to King. "Is that proof enough for you?" Tempers are flaring. I'm getting really worried now. I just want to get to Teague! I feel like all this time wasting is just making the black whatever it's called grow faster.

"Let's say I believe you on this matter. Care to explain who this is?"

"She's-"

"Coral, stop!" I shout the words at her, and she stops in her tracks. "My name is Wilhelmina Grimm, and I don't care about stupid glamours or anything like that! What I care about is going back to the Fates castle, killing the creature that caused this in the first place, and getting back to my boyfriend!"

"Grimm?" Queen stands up.

Whoops. That cat is out of bag. Any hope at getting back to the castle now with their help is done for now. Coral stares at me in shock though. Right. I forgot to say that I was a Grimm, didn't I?

"That makes you our granddaughter!"

Woah, wait. What?!


Teague's POV


I recline against the wall in the dungeon, deciding not to attempt to escape. Jared said he was going to putt the plan into action today. The question is whether or not he'll keep his word. I don't think I should trust him, but then again, he's my only option right now.

I'm still confused as to why Jared assumes that Mina is still alive. There's no way she could've lived when she walked off the docks. She couldn't have used Fae magic to save herself. But Jared says I would've known. I don't know how he knows I would've known, but I'll hold on to any hope that she might be alive out there.

The door swings open, and in steps Jared, dragging someone behind him. "Alright, brother. Stage One is complete."

Sure enough, the Grimorie - knocked out cold - is being towed behind him. He actually kept his word? I'm impressed. Apparently he knocked her out with sleeping powder from the gnomes - I hate those foul, loathsome creatures - and the plan is now to let me out and lock her up in my place. I lift my shackled hands up expectantly.

"Right." With a wave of his hands, my chains fall off. I rub my red wrists and wave my cell door open. From there, we chain the Grimorie - let her wrists burn - up and lock her door. "That should keep her out of the way."

"With that handled, how exactly do you plan on us finding Mina?" I raise an eyebrow. It won't be us. It'll be me in the end. At some point, I'll have to ditch him, because I think he might only have his own best interests at heart. He's been switching sides from the start.

"I think I have a pretty good idea of where those docks are. So, we're going to go there, and figure out where she could've gone from there, if that makes any sense. Because she had to have gone somewhere." He makes it sound so simple and logical.

Sadly, it's not quite as simple as he makes it sound, and there's not really any thoughts we can have from it. It'll be a lot of guesswork. But it's worth it for Mina. I can see that now.

"Alright then. Let's go."


Ever's POV


"Nix, I'm tired of sitting around like this. We saw what sort of state Mina was in whenever Teague took her to the Fae plane. For Pete's sake, we don't even know if she survived or not! We should be there, helping her! Not here!" I continue to pace and ramble on angrily, while Nix sits in a chair.

"I think we'd know if she didn't survive, considering Teague would probably go all 'Dark Prince' on us. Plus, you're her Fae Godmother, so certainly you'd be able to tell...?" He says, tilting his head.

"But that's just it! I'm her Fae Godmother. I shouldn't be sitting on the sidelines. I should be out there with her!" I throw my hands up in the air in anger.

"Fair enough." He sighs. "But we don't know where the seamripper is."

"And we don't know what would happen if you crossed over. I know."

"That doesn't matter. If we find the seamripper, we go."

"But-"

"You wanted to go so badly. Here's your chance. Don't back out now." He meets my gaze. "Let's find the seamripper."


Uh oh. So Mina is going to the castle, but the brothers just left. Do you think they'll run into her, or do you think they'll miss each other completely? And what about Ever and Nix? Who do you think they'll run into (if anyone) and how do you think they'll play into this, if they are any major characters at all? ;) Let me know in a review!

Speaking of reviews, can we get three more? Then I'll update! I have lots of free time on my hands these next few days, so hopefully I'll be update more like I did during the summer!
