She shook him violently, hugged him and then gave up. She started to drag him back to their den. She cared him through the night, never leaving his side until he regained consciousness. “Grendel what were you doing out there talking to men, they are only violent!” Grendel starred back blankly being as he only heard mumbles and groans with no logical connection between them.

I got to my locker and opened it as fast as possible. My…
