It's been three months since my parents moved away...I thought I was going to be depressed but I am actually taking it pretty well! Of course I miss my mom and Dad but every day we try to talk on Skype and I tell them about my day.

Nick and Juliette are very good to me they are like my second family. Since I'm living there for free Juliette told me that I have to do my chores: cleaning the dishes, washing the table and sweeping up the floor every night. I'm not complaining it's actually fair since they have to pay for one extra person in the house. I sometimes feel like I can be too much but when I talk about it with Juliette she said it's fine, I just hope it really is.

Leon and I became the best of friends! Every day we are hanging out and laughing about stupid stuff. On every weekend we go to our "Usual Spot," the place in the woods where you could watch the sun rise. Speaking of Leon, he is supposed to pick me up for school very soon, since Nick and Juliette had to go to work early.

I smile as I think about Leon he is just so sweet and funny! He tells me everything about himself and I tell him everything except about my Grimm life. I wish I could tell him but Nick told me once that when he tried to tell Juliette that he was a Grimm the first time, she didn't take it too well...

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I take it out to see Leon who texted me that he was right outside. After typing a quick replay I put the phone back into my pocket and grabbed my heavy winter coat and scarf.

Snow in Oregon is so different from North Carolina... It's practically everywhere! I was so surprised to see so much snow on the ground and it's not even winter yet! It snowed in North Carolina before but nothing compared to Oregon.

I shiver once I step out of the house and lock up the door. When I turn around to walk to Leon's car he rolls down his window and shouts, "Don't fall, there's ice!"

"Where," I stop dead and looked around on the ground. The last time I hung out with Leon, I slipped on ice and fell face first on the ground... I was so lucky that I didn't break my noise.

Leon bursting out laughing, "I'm kidding, there is nothing there."

I glare at him, "I don't believe you!"

"I'm serious," He giggled.

I shake my head, "No, come and get me." I gestured my hands to him to get out of the car. "Now I'm scared."

Leon stared at me with annoyance but once he realized I was serious about not moving, he rolled his eyes and got out of the car. "Southern girls... They will never know..." He mumbled under his breath as he picked me up in bridal style.

"What did you say?" I asked when he picked me up and carried me into the car. It might have been weird if someone saw him carry me like that but we do it all the time, so it's pretty normal for us.

"You southern girls will never know what we have been through in winter all these years you are new here so you don't know." Leon laughed and shook his head, opening the passenger door and putting me down in the seat.

"It snows in North Carolina too, just not this much..." I mumbled the last part.

Apparently Leon heard the last part of my sentence, "You see!"

I glare at him as he walked around his car and sat down in the driver's seat, "I really don't see your point in all of this."

Leon shrugged, "I'm just making fun of you because you lived in the south." Leon looked at me with a glint of mischief in his eyes, "You even have a think southern accent!" Leon said in a horrible fake southern accent.

"I do not!" I laugh as Leon pulls away from the house.

"Do too." He teased.

"Y'll northern folks think we southern folks talk like this!" I said in a perfect thick southern accent.

Leon looked at me in shock, "Do that again."

"No." I laugh. I quickly stopped smiling and frowned, crossings my arms over my chest. "You're so mean! You are making fun of my home town, the way I grew up. You still make fun of me even though you know how much I miss the south." I look out the window and pretend to pout. Every time I do this, Leon freaks out and feels super guilty.

"Hey, Leslie," Leon looked over at me when he stopped at the red stop sign. "I was just messing with you I never meant to hurt your feelings." I turn around and start quietly laughing, making my shoulders shake causing Leon to get the wrong idea and freak out. "Leslie, I'm sorry, please don't cry!"

I burst out laughing that I almost did start crying, "I get you every single time!"

Leon looks at me, trying to process what is happening. "Oh wow Les thanks a lot!"

"You're welcome!" I tease.

We laughed together for the rest of the way to school. "Are you excited for school?" Leon asked with sarcasm.

"Oh my gosh you don't even know!" I said with the same sarcasm. My smile falls once I think about it, "You know, I really don't want to see Dally." Dallas Austin... My first Wesen. He got out of juvenile detention two months ago and has been causing trouble with me.

"Is he still being mean," Leon asks with a frown.

"He glares at me every time I walk by!" I explained. "He spreads so much rumors about me it's not even funny! I swear he is secretly a girl or something."

"I can deal with him." I look at Leon thinking he was joking around but he was looking at me very seriously. "It really makes me angry when someone does that stuff and especially if they are doing it to you! I really will teach Dally a lesson."

"No, don't do anything you don't know what he is!" I exclaim. If Leon does something to Dally, Dally can kill Leon...

Leon gives me a weird look, "What do you mean 'you don't know what Dally is'?"

Oh no. Did I really just say that...? Way to go Leslie... "U-uh I mean you don't know who he is! Not what."

Leon just laughed, "You're a strange one. Come on let's get in before we are late."

"Right..." Once we got out of the car, the bell rang signaling the first period warning bell. "Well, guess I'll see you later!"

"See you." Leon said with a smile and walked off to his class.

I walked to Biology and was excited to tell Emily my morning with Leon. Emily and I became good friends as well and would hang out with Leon. However I'm still closer with Leon. As I got into my class, the final bell ran and my teacher gave me a look.

"That was a close call, Ms. White." The teacher said.

"Sorry." I apologize and head to my desk.

Just I was about to sit down in my seat next to Emily, Dally, who was apparently walking by, knocked my chair over a smirked at me. I glare at him, "Pick up my chair." I demanded.

"Or what," Dally challenged me. "It's not like you're going to do something about it if I don't."

To make myself more intimidating I stood closer by his face and whisper darkly, "You know I could..."

Some snickering and "ooohs" came from the students. "Children, sit down at once!" The teacher shouted.

Dally looked nervous and back away from me. "Whatever," he muttered and roughly bumped my shoulder as he walked passes me.

I sigh as I picked up my chair and sat down. I may have seemed like I was "all talk" like how Dally would say, but I was serious. I could seriously hurt Dally if he really pissed me off!

After what happened to my parents, I wanted to make sure that I could protect people that I care about. So every day after the day my parents left, I trained with Nick. Nick was rough; he made me jog with him for five miles almost every day. After the five miles, I would be dying and breaking so much sweat and Nick would be just standing there not sweating or breathing heavily. I swear that man is a machine! Anyway, Nick would also train me with the fire arms. I am great with the knives and crossbow. With everything I did in three months, I obtained a lot of muscle.

"Leslie!" Emily shook me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah," I looked at Emily with questioning look.

Emily looked concerned, "Are you alright? It really looked like you were going to kill Dally. Over a chair..." Emily said and looked around the classroom. "Everyone is looking at you."

I looked around the room as well. Sure enough everyone was staring at me and giving me looks, I choice to ignore them and turn my attention to the teacher.


"I swear I'm going to hurt him!" Leon said as we drive out of the schools parking lot.

"Don't," I roll my eyes at Leon's. He can be so protective over me and I have no idea why. "He's not worth it. It was just a stupid chair anyway."

"I just really hate the guy!" Leon said as he drove me home. As we approached, Juliette's car was in the drive way. "Looks like Juliette's home."

I smile to myself, "Yep, want to come in?"

"Sure!" Leon parked his car and we both started walking into the house. As we walked in, Juliette was cooking.

"Hey Leslie, Leon," She smiled as she looked at us as we walked in. "How was school?"

"Great." I lied. "Are we eating dinner early?"

"Actually, you are." Juliette smiled. "Nick is taking me on a date tonight!"

"Oooh, where too," I squealed with a huge smile. I get so excited when Juliette and Nick go on dates or do anything romantic. Can they get married already?

"To this very fancy restaurant," She smiled as she put chicken nuggets and fries, my favorite, into the oven. "Sorry that you are eating chicken nuggets, I don't have time to make a meal for you."

"It's fine." I laugh as she rushes to the stairs.

"Oh Leon, help yourself to anything you would like." She smiled and ran up the stairs.

Leon laughed, "She looks happy that she is going on date."

I nodded then turn to walk into the living room, "Let's watch a movie." I said and look at the movies Nick and Juliette had. "What do you want to watch?"

Leon looked with me and went through the movies, "I want to watch a movie with my favorite actor." Leon gives me a teasing look. "Which is...?"

"Tom Cruise, I know because he is my favorite actor." I laugh." I picked out a few movies that had Tom Cruise as the main character. "Okay, so we have Oblivion, Jack Reacher, A Few Good Men,and Top Gun which one?"

"Hmm," Leon thought hard about the movie choices. "What is A Few Good Men about?

I looked at the movie and turned it around it examine it, "I don't know, I think he plays a lawyer in the Navy. I heard it was good, I never watched it before."

"Let's watch it!" Leon exclaimed and sat down on the couch. I put the movie in and sat down next to Leon as it starts.


From the very beginning, our eyes were glued to the TV. Nick picked up Juliette and they have been gone for a long time already. Leon and I ate everything, the chicken, fries and even the popcorn I made not to long ago. I was about to get more food, but a good part of the movie was on so I didn't budge. I never really liked court movies but this was an exception!

When the movie ended, I turn to Leon to see if he liked it. "Well, what did you think?"

Leon turned to me with a serious expression, "You can't handle the truth." I rolled my eyes and laughed at him. "I really liked it." He laughed as well.

"What do you want to do now?" I asked.

Leon looked at his watch, "It's four and I have to go home." He frowned.

"Oh okay." I frowned as well and walked Leon to the door. "Bye." I smiled.

"Bye," he smiled back and opened to door to walk out but then stopped to look at me, "Hey, uh later tonight like at eight do you want to go to usual spot? I want to ask you something there." Leon blushed. Why is he blushing?

I laughed at his awkward question, "Why can't you ask me now?"

Leon smirked, "Because I want to ask you something in a special place."

"Oh," I laughed. "Okay then." Leon smiled and waved goodbye as he walked out of the house. I locked the door and walked up to my room. Why does Leon do that, blush as he asks me to hang out with him? What is it that he needs to ask me that makes him so nervous? I'm too tired to answer these questions, I'll just sleep until it's time for me to go. I plop down on my bed and fall asleep instantly.


There was a loud crash in the kitchen that caused me to wake up. It was pitch black outside and the digital clock in my room read 7:00. Nick and Juliette said they won't be back until 12:00. Something wasn't right. I got up quietly and grabbed my large knife that was sitting on my dresser. I walked to my door quietly and peeked out from my door. I could hear shuffling of feet coming up the stairs and I could see a shadow of a big, tall man that seemed to have a hairy appearance. A Wesen. I quickly closed the door.

"I know you are here, Grimm. I heard you scream." Damn, I screamed? How does he know that I'm already a Grimm?

The door to my room started to open and I hid behind the door. The Wesen sniffed the air. "You're in here somewhere..." He turned his back from me and I quickly kicked him in the back, making him fly into the wall. I made a mad dash out of my room and down the stairs. Thank goodness my phone was in my pocket as I ran out of the house. I dial Nick's number as I run down the street as fast as I can.

"Come on Nick..." I mutter as I continue running. I could tell the Wesen was running after me, I didn't dare to look back and see how far he was.

"Leslie, is everything al-" Nick answered but was cut off when I was trampled down to the ground and dropped my phone. I looked at my attacker and gasped. It was a Blutbad.

"You dirty, Grimm!" The Blutbad grabbed me by the arms and threw me a couple yards. When I landed, I quickly jumped up and looked behind me, there were the woods! Perfect place for a fight!

"Hey, Fido," I whistled. "Let me take you on a walk, how would you like that!" I ran as fast as I could into the woods.

I'm beginning to think that I am becoming insane... I'm going to fight a full grown Blutbad all by myself with just a large knife. Well, it is what it is, let's just hope Nick can find me or hope that I even survive this fight.

I stop running as I reach the woods. Looking behind me, I couldn't find the Blutbad which means he is somewhere surrounding me. I hear a crack of a breach on my left side. I prepare my knife and start walking toward the sound.

Within seconds, the Blutbad jump out from its hiding spot and launches itself at me but I quickly move out of the way.

"You filthy Grimm," The Wesson growled. He moved to scratch me but I dodged and ran my knife against his chest. The Blutbad staggered backwards, surprised that he was cut, but I was mostly surprised that I actually did that to him.

"Not much of a great fighter, are you?" I smirked.

The Blutbad howled and stared at me with the world's greatest death glare. "I'm going to kill you for that."

Why can't I keep my mouth shut...?

The Blutbad charged at me and threw me down on the ground. He pinned me down with his legs and held my arms so I couldn't move. "Get off me!" I try moving out of his grasp but it was no use. Suddenly I felt this intense pain coming from my right shoulder. I Let out a painful scream and tried harder to get out of his grip. It wasn't until I looked at him that I realized that he biting me.

I screamed louder in more pain as I realized what was really happening to me. With strength I didn't know I had, I lifted my legs and wrapped it around the Blutbad's body then moved in a way that I was now on top of the Wesson.

The Blutbad was surprised at my move and was going to attack again but I pushed off of him just in time. I tried to stand up but the agonizing pain from my shoulder was too much for me so I fell back down. The Wesson turned to me and hovered over me. I scoot away from him and look up at him in fear I don't want to die... I'm not going to lose this fight. As the Wesson jumps to attack me, I grabbed my knife and swung.

The first thing that I heard was a loud crack, and then I saw the blood squirting everywhere, some of it landed on my face, on my shirt and pants. The Blutbad changed back to a man, a man who had dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He looked like he could be in his mid 40s. He was clutching at his throat, where my knife slashed him. He made a choking noise which made more blood pour out onto his hands. He fell on the ground next to me and I quickly scooted away from him. The Blutbad tried to say something to me, but he only made more choking noises. I stared at the man until the choking stopped, and so did his movements. I watched as the life drained from his eyes.

"Leslie!" I heard someone shout in the distance. I didn't respond, I couldn't if I wanted to. I was in shock in what I just done.

"I found her!" I heard the footsteps running towards me.

"What happened here?" The voice that just a spoke belonged to Nick. He looked at the dead body and me, "Did you do this?"

"I-I, he attacked me, I did what I had too!" I defended.

Nick bent down towards me and I could see Juliette standing behind him covering her mouth in shock. "You did what you had too, this is how things are going to be for now on and you might have to take someone's life. Nick looked at my shoulder, "How did hurt you?"

"He bit me," I answered. "He was going to kill me so I…"

"I know, come on Juliette is going to take you to the hospital, I'm going to clean this up." Nick helped me get up and brought me to the car.

"Are you alright, Leslie?" Juliette asked after a while driving to the hospital.

"No, I'm not." I mumbled quietly as I leaned my head against the window. When everything seems to be getting better, why does it always get worse?
