The misty grey sky darkened as Bigby walked through the buildings of Fabletown to the park. The mist around the park was strangely familiar, creeping around the trees. It comforted him as he thought of the days back in the homelands. As night dawned he reamemberd how jayden the fox and him were to hunt.

Jayden creept Behind the tree closing in on the farm. As they edged nearer to the chicken coop there was a bang as the farmers shotgun was fired. He realised it was not at the two carnivores but something else in the distance. Jayden and Bigby looked at each other for a moment. The plan was simple he would take down the farmer , jayden would catch as many chickens as possible.

Soon after they met at the hideout, with four chickens and a man. It was savage but it was food. Bigby couldn't remember a better time.

However his mind wandered away from the good times in to the times where the humans were smarter and the food wasn't there, or available. He hated to think it but they were starving to death.

The joy when he heard that their was an amazing and easy source of food that was just across the river. They were exilerated and jumping with joy as they spied on the cottage across the hill. Inside lived an old woman. Every day her granddaughter would deliver her cookies when the sun was 3/4 across the sky. Bigby was supposed to grab the girl and her grandma and Jayden was going to grab the chickens from their yard. The plan was simple right.

He barely used any of his strength as he forced the door in. The grandma was dead, he needed to grab the girl, they had both their families to feed and so he waited. The girl came in as normal and Bigby had another peice of food under his belt .

He left the cottage , head held high. But he felt a hot slice down his left cheek. The blood poured out, his heart raced but it would take more to defeat the big bad wolf.he turned around to face his challenger . A woodsman at first sight but he appeared more than just burley, a thug with a sack and a gun, A robber maybe? His hands clawed and ripped at this thuggish man. He felt them get caught in his ginger beard and yelped as hot blood gushed from his stomach. He freed his claws but the woodsman pulled out a gun loaded with silver bullets.gis weakness.

His heart raced and he he reacted quickly but before long he couldn't feel anymore pain and his vision was clouded with blood . Jayden must of left and he let himself fall unconscious and die knowing he got food for his family, or helped lily get it.

Slowly the pain returned to his body. His eyes began to see and his hands were trembling again. He dipped in and out of consciousness but he couldn't recall anything in the brutal hours after. The only thing he remembered was the fear of Jayden not being there, that she might of died.

He was told that she left; he was distraught.

Slowly he reached the floor of his apartment, he had to kick Collin aside and he fell asleep. His nightmares were full of the failed attempts , the ones in vein . And Jayden , what did he do , he wanted her back .

The next day snow shoved something in his hands and demanded he take it tho the finance office and gave him a small package to take to the the witches. The finance office was across town near by to the witches hut. He decided to go to the witches hut and got in a cab. Inside was an old acquaintance, they weren't best of pals. Gren. He wondered why he was here but walked past him. Gren stopped him and said that he could not could enter so he gave Gren the package and left.

The finance office was a fiasco, as he dropped of the package but he was stopped. Crane, the bastard. He exploited snow and used illegal glamours and stole from Fabletown and he just walks in here like he is the mayor. He was only the deputy Mayer and WAS. Crane began ranting that he was poor and starving. He kept saying that he didn't know how it was to starve, not have anything. Bigby was about to hit crane until a sillohete was in the doorway " of course Bigby doesn't know what it's like to starve" it said , but sarcastically." He didn't have to fight for his life doing what ever the fuck he could to keep him and our families alive, he didn't nearly die because of it"

Bigbys face lit up. He knew it was jayden it had to be. As she came up to him he could see the deep blue ocean like eyes. He knew it. "Jayden..." Jayden just smiled.

Months went by. They were friends.perfection, well it was perfect. Snow called Bigby down one morning, just by the witching well. A still body old with messy grey hair and knife wounds in her stomach back chest and thigh. And she had deep blue, ocean like eyes, he could recognise those eyes anywhere , she must be Jayden's mother. There were no other leads so he told snow who it was and he went to jayden. But Jayden had disappeared.

He searched until the moon was fully up. He couldn't stay awake for much longer and he turned home. He realised a figure in the distance . That figure drew closer. He was realieved as he saw Jayden draw into the light of the street lamp. Bigby told jayden to follow him until they reached the witching well. The ocean of tears drenched him from head to toe. He comforted her. Jayden looked up into his brown eyes and said "she is in debt to the teeedles." And carried on crying.

Bigby couldn't recall when but jayden and him both woke up as light crept in from the top of the room. As jayden left for home Bigby found snow, told her about the night and was of to find the tweedles.
