Chapter Text
Sitting in the lecture room you're bored half to death; it's your first day studying your new course at your new university and the induction lesson had been going on for well over an hour! Luckily the lesson has now finished, "don't forget to get the textbooks for next lesson! Especially you (Y/N)!" the lecturer is shouting as you almost run out of the room. You're day at uni is over now and you can go and find Nick, after finding out that you're a Grimm and so is your family friend Nick Burkhardt he seems like the only person you can talk to anymore.
Finally finding Nick you sigh in relief as you walk over to him, he's standing under the tree that you always meet at and you start to wonder why this wasn't the first place you looked for him, "Nick!" you call over to him as you start to jog over.
He looks up and waves at you with a smile on him face, from the other side of the tree walks out a lean and muscular man, he's very tall - several inches taller than Nick. You recognise him as Monroe, the Blutbad, Wesen friend of Nick's - you've met him a few times but don't know him that well. He waves and gives you a small smile and you reciprocate. Walking the other way around the tree you see a young girl with short black hair, in her hand is a machete and immediately you go on guard; drawing the dagger you keep in you boot you take a defensive position opposite this new girl. But before you can do anything, Nick steps in and forces both of your weapons to the ground - at gunpoint! "Trubel! I told you (he/she) is a friend! And really (Y/N), you think I'd bring an enemy to meet you!" Nick shouts towards you when you finally put down the weapons.
"What did you expect Nick?! Someone walks around a tree with a machete of course I'm going to defend myself!" You shout back, now that you're use to being a Grimm you're no longer afraid of your old friend.
Nick shakes his head at you and sighs as he turns towards the young girl, who you presume to be Trubel, he knows just as well as you that there is no arguing with you. "And really Trubel, I told you not to bring the machete! (He's/She's) a friend, not an enemy!"
"Come on Nick, it's better safe than sorry! Who knows what kind of Wesen are around here, (he/she) could've been anyone, I'm not taken any risks with the royals still out there!" Trubel seems to be as stubborn as you are when it comes to arguing. But what she said about the royals troubles you, the only royal you'd ever met was Nick's superior officer, Captain Sean Renard, who is only half royal; but Nick had told you about how the royals had been giving them some troubles the last time you'd seen him.
Sighing, Nick gives up arguing with the two of you and proceeds like the incident had never happened. "Well, (Y/N) this is Trubel, she's a Grimm like the two of us and has been staying with me for the last year. Trubel, this is (Y/N), (he's/she's) also a Grimm and is an old family friend of mine." After the formal introductions you and Trubel shake hands, it's like you never even had blades pointed at each other moments ago, and Nick continues. "Now, we've got a Hundjäger on the loose and we could really use your help (Y/N)" Nick finishes with a smile at you.
"Sure, I'd love to help!" You say with a smile and the four of you start to walk off together. "Nick?" you start to speak to your old friend when Monroe and Trubel get out of earshot. "If we're dealing with a Hundjäger does that mean that the Verrat are involved? And where's Hank? I thought he'd be here helping you!"
Nick nods slightly as you talk and gives a small sigh before replying, "We think it is the Verrat although we can't be certain yet, and this Hundjäger was in Portland before it got here, while in Portland it attacked us and Hank is still recovering in the hospital. That's why we need to find this thing as fast as possible before it can hurt anyone else." You nod at Nick's answer and walk in silence for a while afterwards, Nick knows you too well and immediately catches onto the fact that you're still hiding something. "What? Is there something else you wanted to ask (Y/N)? You're never this quiet!"
You grimace a little at just how well he knows you, you could never keep anything from him. "How well do you know Trubel, Nick? I can't help it, I just don't trust her."
He nods slightly, even he realises that walking out with a machete in hand is not the most trustworthy first impression, "I know she's a little head strong..." You give him a look and he corrects himself, "...Ok, more than a little. But she's been through a lot, she was alone when her abilities first started coming out. I had Aunt Marie and you had me, so we had someone to tell us what was going on, but Trubel had no one so she does have a right to be cautious when it comes to Wesen, she's learnt the hard way." Your face tells Nick that you're still not convinced she can be trusted, "Ok, if you don't trust her then fair enough, but at least trust me, it's not like I'd let her hurt you if she did turn against you (Y/N)!" You nod and smile at just how desperate Nick is trying to settle your nerves and he smiles back. Monroe then calls back to you saying he's caught the Hundjäger's scent and for you two to catch up so you both jog over to Trubel and Monroe, Nick - gun in hand - and you - (Y/W) Nick had given you at the ready.
***
Rounding the corner you see the Hundjäger Nick had told you about, but to your surprise he's not alone. Standing next to the Hundjäger, who looks just like a human as he's not woged, is a young, muscular figure with shoulder length brown hair that has two strands pointed upwards resembling ears, he also has a furry tail protruding from his lower back. You've never seen a Wesen like that before, you turn towards Nick and whisper to him, "Nick? Have you ever seen a Wesen like that? And why is he standing in full woge, they never do that in the open."
Nick shakes his head towards you but before he can speak a pink haired boy jumps down from the roof of a nearby building. He lands in front of the mystery figure and punches him in the jaw, but the most surprising thing is that when he punches the figure his hands are on fire! What the hell is he, an Excandesco? But it didn't look like he woged! Looking towards Nick you see him and Trubel looking just as confused as you, but Nick signals to go in anyway.
Following Monroe in front of you, you circle around the right of the brawling pair just in time for the pink haired boy's hand to explode, but to everyone's surprise the boy appeared to just eat the fire and was relatively unharmed. You jump back away from the blast but you have to hop forwards a bit to avoid falling through a strange, glowing, vortex-like structure behind you that was hidden from eyeshot behind a building where you'd previous been standing. Looking back at the strange structure behind you, you don't notice the mystery figure - the one with a tail, not pink hair - walking towards you. "(Y/N), look out!" Nick calls out to you.
You turn back around just in time to see the figure walking towards you; he's grinning menacingly at you. One of his hands is stretched out towards you and appears to be glowing strangely as he laughs, is this his woge? You raise your (Y/W) towards him but before you have a chance to do anything the pink haired boy launches himself towards you and pulls you through the vortex-like thing behind you and your world fades into blackness.
