I don't own House of Anubis.
I closed my eyes. I felt a hand grab mine. I gritted my teeth. The emotion I was feeling was unexplainable. Shivers ran up my spine. I wanted to open my eyes. But then I would come back to reality. Sweet, bitter reality. But I had to. There was no escape. There were chains holding me back. Just torturing me. Flaming hot chains. They forced me back to the true world. I opened my eyes.
The scene was getting worse every time I saw it. I slowly walked forward, every step seemed like poison barbs digging into my feet. Only once has Fabian seen me cry. But I couldn't hold it back anymore. I turned to face him, and bolted into his arms. He held me tightly, but softly. Fabian stroked my hair, and said nothing. I felt comfort. But not like before. When I was done with my hysterical scene, I turned to face the landscape.

Only about ten feet of building stood. From that majestic, 110 story building turned to rubbish in a week and a half. I brought my head up to the sky. The black and gray sky.

But even the white had turned a dark ash color from the polluted air.
Let me fill you in. Gran was dead.. Everyone but my brother was dead. Jerome was comforting Mara. He had no family left. A few years after he came to boarding school he received a letter. His parents had died in a shipwreck. His sister was all he had left. Until now.
But I know one thing.
A body is only a resting place for a soul. Gran and everyone else was still alive in a sense. I still am sad. But its life. It cannot be changed. I will stay strong. That is what Gran would want me to do.
Something suddenly interrupted my thoughts, and hit my eye. I looked up.
A ray of sunshine had come through the dust.
