Screen opens to Winnie training in the Dark Forest with Phara and Tanis. There's a Magic Circle around them as they fight. Winnie had flash backs to Sibella, Elean, Paratus. and Gear arriving back at the school with Ethan badly hurt. This enraged her causing her to fight more aggressively. As the Lust Twins spoke to her.

Freya [Thoughts]- Come on Winnie. Kill them.

Davis [Thoughts]- Ya. They where the reason you couldn't go with Sibella and Elean to protect Ethan. Because of them he almost died.

Winnie [Thoughts]- GRRRR! Shut up!

Winnie- Werewolf Magma Claws!

Winnie does a speed strike that leaves a four claw marks on Tanis chest killing her this surprised Phara and see notice Winnie eyes changing between Black and Dark Green like the Lust Twins.

Phara- Tanis!! UH!?

Phara [Thoughts]- Great Winnie not just have her Werewolf Spirit deal with. But the Lust Twins as well.

Phara dodges Winnie strike as she continues to attack her. Phara manages to slide through one of Wiinnie claw strike and phase into her.

Phara- Phantom Possessions Seal!

Winnie drops to her knees as the seal on her neck glowed Dark Blue and regain control of her body. Phara collapse out of Winnie's back.

Phara- Ha. Good training match Winnie. It was a howl of a time. Ha Ha Ha.

Winnie tryed to get up but couldn't.

Winnie [Pain]- Ha Ha. Very funny Phara. Sorry you had to do that again.

Phara- No problem. Your trying your best to remain in control.

Phara raises her hand and the Magic Circle disappears healing them all. Winnie remained on the ground on her knees while Phara and Tanis got up. Tanis notice something wrong with Winnie.

Phara- Hey you ok Tanis.

Tanis- I'm fine Phara. But I think there something wrong with Winnie.

They walk over to Winnie.

Tanis- Hey Winnie you alright?

Winnie jumps on her feet and looked mad.

Winnie- No. I'm not Tanis. Ethan was almost killed. And I was off getting school supply's. Along with my Werewolf Spirit and the Lust Twins keep pissing me off. How do you think I feel!!

Tanis looked scared and backed up. That when Sibella and Elean walk out of

Elean- That's enough Winnie. Your scaring Tanis.

Sibella- She's right calm yourself.

Winnie [Mad]- I am calm.

Winnie glair at Sibella then takes a deep breath.

Elean- Anyways what happened to Ethan wasn't your fault it was ours and Paratus.

Winnie- Of course it is. Because of Gear blabbering his mouth. He wouldn't have found out he was a slave.

That when Miss Grim walked in.

Miss Grim- He wasn't scared off because of that.

The girls looks surprised when Miss Grim walked in.

Sibella- Misses Grim.

Winnie- What do mean?

Miss Grim- Ethan came close to actually dying and ask to take some time off. He not mad at any of you girls.

Tanis- But he's been gone for nearly two weeks Miss Grim.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Phara- Ha Ha. Tanis is right are you sure he's ok.

Miss Grim- I'm sure he's alright dear.

Winnie- Well I'm going to go check on him.

Winnie tryed to walk past Miss Grim but she placed her hand Infront of her.

Miss Grim- You will do no such thing Winnie. I plan on speaking with him latter today. Coming close to death isn't something easy to overcome.

Winnie- But I can help him.

Miss Grim- How? You can hardly control the Lust Twins. And your anger I can sense all the way from my office. I don't think it's wise for you to confront Ethan while your angry.

Winnie looked shocked at Miss Grim response.

Winnie- Fine. But I will see him tomorrow alright Headmistress.

Miss Grim- As long as you control yourself and the other girls go with you. Until then I hope you learn to control your self. Anyways Lunch will be ready soon so come along.

Monster Girls- Yes Miss Grim.

The screen changes to Ethan home in the backyard where Ethan and Helen are training. Ethan wearing his normal clothes but without his leather jacket. Helen the same there fighting with there swords. Helen has stopped all Ethan attacks and holds off his assault.

Pride [Thoughts]- Come now use your Pride. Using it's the only way to stop you from nearly dying again.

Pride show images in his head of him being badly injured after the Junk Dragon Lightning Blast.

Ethan [Thoughts]- No! I will not use power that isn't my own. Hu!?

Helen slams her sword into Ethan and it unleashes a lightning blast that lands Ethan on his back and place the sword close to his neck as he tryed to get up.

Helen- Nice try son. But you still have a long way to go.

Ethan- Ya. I sure do.

Helen deactivates her blade and helps her son up. And notice he's not looking well.

Helen- What's wrong son?

Ethan- Ow nothing I'm fine. Ha.

Helen- Your really a bad liar son also haven't been going to Miss Grim School for training. Know what's wrong.

Ethan looks down and didn't know what to say.

Ethan- Well um. I don't know how to explain it.

Helen- Look Ethan I wont be here forever to look after you. And your going to have to deal with these problem someday by yourself. I understand you want to handle things by your self but remember your never alone.

Ethan- Ya. I know that mom.

Helen frowns and takes off towards the house. Ethan was going to say something but no words came out. After she's inside Pride appears behind him.

Pride [Thoughts]- She's right you know. your going to have to stand on your own feet one day. I you wont always be able to get help from others. You must become stronger other wise more people you care about will die.

Ethan didn't say anything and grabs his leather Jacket and walks inside. Pride smiles as he left inside that when Kalen appeared.

Kalen- I've told you to leave my descendent alone he is mine to train and look after.

Pride- Why should I. So you can mold him into a tool to reclama your formal glory.

Kalen- Lies.

Pride- Come now Kalen. You know that is your plan. That's all you see in the boy. To try and take back what you've lost do to your carelessness.

But before Kalen could respond they both froze in place as shadow figure emerges from the ground in black robes his face hidden under his hood.

Kalen [Thoughts]- Uh!? Such strength this can only be from one soul.

Pride- Well well well. How's it's been death.

Death said nothing but slowly looked up at them. Kalen was frozen in fear while Pride stood there with Pride in his eyes unfazed. The screen changes to Helen opening the front door as the door bell rings.

Helen- Coming. Ow hello Miss Grim.

Miss Grim- Hello Helen. Might I be able to speak with you for a second.

Helen- Of course. What's wrong.

Helen walks outside and closes the door behind her.

Miss Grim- Is Ethan alright he hasn't been at my school for a while.

Helen- Well he's been depressed. Ever since he came close to dying. He's been training with everyone much more. He doesn't talk as much as he used to and I'm worried about him.

Miss Grim- Well with your permission I would like him to speak with my husband.

Helen looked surprised at her statement.

Helen- But would he has to be dead to meet him.

Miss Grim- Not fully true. There are places where he can be contacted. And I believe he might be able to help your son.

Helen- Fine as long as he's isn't hurt.

Miss Grim- Do not worry he shall be fine.

Screen changes to Ethan room where he's laying on his bed. He looks upset as the screen changes to him fully clothed sitting next to Gear.

Ethan- So your a slave.

Gear- Yes just like Elean is.

Ethan- Wait she's still a slave!?

Gear- I'm afraid so. Elean doesn't like to admit it. She owned by Winnie father. Sorry but she doesn't like to talk about it that much.

Ethan- Ha ya. She doesn't like to talk that much.

Gear- I'm surprised your so calm you nearly died back there.

Ethan [Surprised]- Hu!? Really?

Gear- Your joking right. You where badly injured and I would say on the verge of death.

Ethan looked shocked at his words and looked scared and reality hit him. Screen changes to Miss Grim listening in at the door way. As the Screen changes back to Ethan room as some one nocks at his door.

Ethan- Come in.

Miss Grim walks in this surprised Ethan.

Ethan- Ow. Miss Grim what are you doing here?

Miss Grim- I just decided to drop by and check on you. You've haven't been to the school in a while.

Ethan- I'm sorry I planning to head back this Monday I'm sorry for not calling you.

Miss Grim- It's alright dear. There's someone I want you to meet someone. Who could help you with your near death experience.

Ethan- Hu!? What are you talking about? I'm fine.

Miss Grim- Come know Ethan I want to help you. So come along unless you want me to get your mom involved.

Ethan- Ow. Um. That's alright there's no need for that. So who do you want me to meet.

Miss Grim- Well you'll know him when you meet him. So come.

Screen changes to Ethan and Miss Grim walking through Muddy Creek Grave Yard.

Ethan- Um. Why would your friend want to meet us her Miss G.

Miss Grim- It's not my friend. He's my husband.

That when Miss Grim turns around and impales Ethan with a Black Sword.

Ethan [Surprised and Scared]- Uh!! Why!?

Miss Grim says nothing. The bladed was pure black when she pulls it's out of Ethan his body fades away in black smoke. The sword does the same burning away. As the Screen fades to black.
