Hey, sorry this took so long. School's a bitch, and so is writer's block. I haven't had any ideas, so I'm gonna let S write the next chapter so that I can get more ideas!

Warnings: Grinny, Thinking aloud, A jam eating cat, M Squared, and new character, Cross


"Well, one, we don't need to build a time machine since there's one in Hall B. Two, we need Grinny!" I said.

"Seriously! Who is Grinny?!" Mikey asked, really confused.

S kinda pouted and said, "Our pet homicidal chocolate monster that was a failed attempt at making Mello a birthday cake."

"We set it on Sass, but she made Roger get rid of it. We've been keeping him in Skalita's old room," I elaborated.

"I knew I could sense more chocolate than usual!" Mello cried.

I rolled my eyes. I knew none of us were sane, but come on! He can sense chocolate?

I looked at my 'family'. That's what we we're, really. One big dysfunctional family.

I whistled and in about five seconds the demonic chocolate cake was at our feet.

"Hey Grinny! Who's a good evil chocolate cake?" I cooed as I pet it.

Everyone looked at me like I was weird. What? Can't a girl who sees and talks to dead people, sees names and numbers, talks to animals, has acid tears, and can fly pet an evil cake?

"You can fly?" Matt asked.

"Not really, but I can float. That's how I can jump out of windows all the time and I don't get a single scratch," I explained.

"You're thinking a loud again, aren't you?" Mello asked. I nodded.

We left each other's company after we trained Grinny to attack Near with a picture of Near Linda drew.

The next morning we heard loud screams and all eight of us poked our heads out of our rooms at the same time.

"Near…" we all muttered at the same time.

I will tell you, seeing Near's arm half devoured by a chocolate cake is fucking funny. I think he was internally freaking out, but I couldn't tell.

Beacon and B fought over the last jar of jam, which I ended up eating, mainly to shut them up.

Anima got a rabbit toy, Barium got jam (I swear, it's a family thing), Beacon got a creepy doll that was mine when I was her age, Mikey and Way got Starbucks, Matt got video games, Mello got chocolate, Beyond got a new set of Wara Ningyo dolls, S got video games, and I got new headphones.

Apparently Way was sick of me and S blasting music when we were plotting.

Beacon took an immediate liking to the dolls. The same ones that I was holding when my brother tried to kill me six months ago.

Beyond hasn't told her about that, and neither had I. I would feel like shit if she found out from someone other than me.

Christmas was uneventful, but it was still fun.

[January 13th]

Oh, shit, it's my brother's birthday! Shit!

And social services are coming.

In the last few weeks we… took care of Rin. She's dead, actually. I was sick of her, anyway.

It all started with us setting BEN out and well… I'll let you know the rest later.

"Wake up, you three, he's here!" Way said, throwing S's door open.

Beacon and I slept in her room for the night, just because we could. Sometimes we get sick of our own rooms and we rotate between them.

The three of us walked out once we were dressed. We had to look 'respectable' so we were all looking formal-ish.

S was in dress pants (because she refused to wear a skirt) and a dress shirt, Beacon wore a black dress with white collar, and I wore a black dress shirt with no sleeves tucked into a long black skirt and a bright red tie.

I wasn't allowed to wear anything above my ankle while social services are here because of my tattoo. It's kind of stupid. I mean, why not?

"Do you think we should make sure Daddy's room is good?" Beacon asked.

"They took away all his sharp objects a while ago, Bea, there shouldn't be anything in there," I said, emphasising 'shouldn't'.

S nodded. We ran into M Squared and, awww, the looked like they were going on a date in their suits and ties, holding hands.

"Going on a date, boys?" S asked.

Matt blushed. "Actually when the guy leaves we are…"

I couldn't contain my inner fangirl. "Gah! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Believe Beacon Birthday was right! M Squared is on a roll!"

Ok, so I may have been going through bubblegum withdrawal symptoms. Not my fault Way's trying to control my life!

"Beacon?" S asked.

"Shuddup… My original alias was my mother's middle name. It's kinda weird…"

"I look like Aunty Blake and Aunty Blake looks like Nanna Blake!" Beacon cheered.

I nodded. I carried around the photo of my mother now a days, in case any more attempts on my life were made.

"Oh, look who it is," I heard a voice say. I may be the stuff of peoples' nightmares, but he is in mine,

His name is T, but we all call him Cross because he is summoned by his name. He is very good at inventing things (he has the time machine), lives in Hall B, and hell bent on killing me. Mainly because, like Rin was, he was with me through all three orphanages. The other reason is because, after A died, he figured, if he killed me, B would go to him.

It's complicated, ok.

"What do you want, Cross?" I snapped.

He laughed, but not genuinely. "Now that that thing is here, there is so much standing in my way of getting what I want," he spat, looking at Beacon, who was hiding behind S.

"Aunty Blake, Aunty S, I'm scared," she whimpered.

"You can kill me, but if you come after my family, which includes my brother, I will kill you. And you know I can," I said with narrowed eyes.

He laughed again. "You couldn't do shit, Princess."

"Wanna bet?!"

"Uh, Blake?" S said, but I wasn't listening.

"Yeah!"

"Seriously, Blake…"

"Well, you're on, Fairy!"

"Believe!"

"What?" I asked.

"…"

"Aunty Blake looks like Bandit!" Beacon said for S.

I turned around and saw, well shit!

I saw I had goddamn wings. Like, proper wings.
