Halona
Smoke drifts towards me and I freeze. How did a fire start? I suddenly remember the kids and I panic, rushing towards them. I have to get them out of here before this death trap is reduced to a pile of ash and rubble.
I follow the sounds of music, up another small flight of stairs until I find them in a hidden nook of the building, with no windows and only one door. Four kids sit on blanket. I look around and suddenly realize that one of these kids is squating he

Halona I get the children together and sign all the paperwork that is handed to me by the officers, as does Grimm. He and I are sharing the responsibility of the kids. Well.. at least on paper, we are. He is letting us stay in his house so that I can take the kids for a while, but I don't plan on staying with him any longer than we have to.

Halona We pull up outside of a huge modern home that has to be three stories tall. It is sleek, shiny and like something out of a celebrity home catalogue. The kids and I follow Thanatos into the large house and the five of us stand in the foyer, looking around in awe. “Come on.” Thanatos gestures

Halona “Shit.” I sit up with a start, barely holding back a scream. The strange, male voice was unexpected coming out of the dark. But the fact that a man is crawling into the bed with me is too much. I back up against the headboard of the bed. “Get the fuck away from me.”

Halona The next morning I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. A glance at the screen shows me that it is Sorin. Ugh. I have two texts from him. I don't understand his sudden interest in me. Honestly, back at school he really seemed into Moira. Now, all of a sudden, it is like he wants to be with me so desperately. It seems sudden and rather weird.It gets me wondering.. Am I some kind of consolation prize for him since Moira is out of reach? Since I look just like

Aria “Oh my God!” The moment that Halona and Grimm walk through my front door is the exact moment that I feel as if I can breath easy once more. Hearing that Landry had arrested her this morning for arson was a hard blow that had left me realing.

Madoc I step out of the shower, noticing that the mirror is fogged up. Taking the hand towel on the hanger beside the sink, I try to wipe away all the condensation, but it just leaves my reflection blurry. Everything that happened today plays on in my head. My little sister got arrested today. Grimm is who she had with her. He stepped into my place today and did what I should have done

Halona I check on the kids one last time before I call it a night and retire for the evening. They are all four sound asleep and looking peaceful, so I back out of the room quietly. I need to find Grimm now and let him show me to a new room, before I collapse from sleep deprivation. I don't know where another spare bedroom is and I can't kick him out of his own room for the second night in a row. He is already doing so much by letting us stay here, asking him to give us his own room for me is taking it way too far.
