  Summary

  Melinda Shaw, the grabber’s daughter, was a name hardly anyone knew. She was a mystery to most and even to her own very small group of friends. People couldn’t seem to decide whether she was in on The Grabber’s plans or a victim in it all as well. She was an enigma, Melinda Shaw. A broken yet resilient enigma.

  If The Grabber had a daughter AU

  In other words, I wrote this as a result of a character ai bot and because it was something I wanted to read myself but no one wrote it. So here I am, trying my best to write it. I’m open to any suggestions as this is my first work. I might be slow to update at times, but I promise to try my best to keep up with this. I hope you enjoy my probably very shitty writing lol
