Fiona: I was terribly sad when my dog died.So sad that I went to the most remote part of beach one night and sat on the dunes till dawn,crying,and screaming,and kicking the sand.But my dog wasn't the only reason.That woman.The one who had said she was my grandmother.After my dog died,she had dragged me into Uncle Joe's house,and up the stairs."Stay here."she said,throwing me into a room.
"Why?"I cried.
"Because I said so!"
"No!"I screamed.
At that,she stared at me with a murderous glare.I felt like I was gonna be sick,but I stood my ground.She was still for a moment,but then she started to smile.A cold,evil smile.And that smile triggered something,and she began to look,not like the seventy year old woman who had answered the door,but young,and strangely beautiful.Then she slapped me with such force that it sent me reeling backwards.And she laughed as I fumed in childlike indignation.
"I hate you!"I yelled,and I didn't even know who she was.
