It was midnight now I think, it was dark outside but the city of Vale was as busy as ever.

I looked outside the windows at 14-Eleven, a convenience store. I was with my Uncle Aurelius or Uncle for short. We just split off a few seconds ago to look for snacks around and here I was contemplating whether I wanted Depsi or Dokari Sweat that was inside the display refrigerator.

After contemplating about it a bit more, I decided to get Dokari Sweat. Throwing into the small shopping basket I was holding onto. After walking around and getting a bit of everything else I needed for my sleepover, I went to the counter where I would wait for my Uncle. A minute later he's finally done.

"You're finally done. Let's gets this done and go home, I wanna show you a new movie." I said as I lifted the shopping basket and placed it on the counter.

He just nodded as he placed his own shopping on the counter and gave the money to the employee working the counter.

"Thank you for going to 14-Eleven."

I said thank you to person in charge of the store.

As we went to the car, I suddenly felt nature call to me aka go to the bathroom.

I told my Uncle that I just needed to go the bathroom before we went on our way back to his home. He agreed and I didn't take too long I think as I was approaching the car again. I noticed Uncle was just standing there with our snacks, I moved closer to him and waved my hand in front of him.

"Hey Uncle, Stop goofing around and let's go?"

I noticed something odd about his eyes. His eyes seemed to be covered in a gray layer.

He was staring off into the distance, like he was tired or very dreamy. Muttering something to himself I think, this was the first time I saw him like this and I was getting a little worried.

"Uncle!"

He seemed to snap out of it, looking startled for a moment before sighing.

"Sorry, I don't know what came over me. Get in and let's go home, I have a lot of stories to tell you once we're there."

"You sure you good? Never seen you do that before?"

"I'm fine."

"Huh... Ok." I said, not really convinced. But I grabbed the other bag of snacks from him and got into his car.

He's the only other huntsman I know other than my Dad and mom who used to be huntsman.

Uncle's just a bit tired probably, he's been on some mission for three months on his own. Went back to Vale just a few days ago. Looks like some huntsman have it rough.

Uncle started the car and we we're on our way to his house. I'd just been watching the scenery around the city for a while until we reached one of the more quieter parts of the city. He then started asked me something.

"So Mavi, how you've been?"

"Schools just finished actually! I have a big break before I have to choose a combat school or the normal school."

"Why not become a huntsman, you're dad's a huntsman right? Nothing wrong with following family tradition."

Me becoming a huntsman? Dad hasn't really pushed for me to become one either. On the other hand being a huntsman is cool, but I'm afraid I don't want to risk my life for that type of job at all. I've only just started considering just this month.

"Do you think I can become a huntsman? I'm a scrawny kid you know. Im also not sure about what dad thinks about me being a Huntsman."

"Well that's why you train for it you know? Everyone starts out being weak and train the combat schools like signal and beacon to become stronger you know."

He paused for a moment. As he made the car moved forward when the traffic light went green.

"You know that I was a orphan right? I became a huntsman because I wanted the money. I was able to convince a old huntsman to teach me how to fight, he was really opposed to it at first. But I eventually got him to train me after all the annoying sh- I mean stuff i did."

"Come to think of it," I said "You've not told me much about your younger years at all."

"It just came to mind randomly." He said dismissively."Anyways, I wanna focus on the road. We can talk a lot once we get home."

I sighed. I guess, he does have a point. I don't want to get into a car accident or anything. I took out my Scroll and started to surf around the internet to pass the time. Eventually, I noticed that the surroundings were not of city buildings and people anymore but now trees surrounded the road with street lights lining the road.

We've reached a place where it's nice and quiet in Vale. Not much people live here cause they wanna stay near the hustle and bustle of Vale, so you won't have much neighbors here. This is where Uncle lived, he liked to live where it was quiet I think.

"By the way, have you visi-"

"Yadayadayada, I can't hear you at all!"

I already knew what he was going to tell me. I don't want to think about it right now.

"Well, it was worth a shot." He said before sighing in defeat.

We talked on about what had happened in the past week for both of us. There are some things I wish I didn't bring up cause it so dumb but he just got me to say it somehow or maybe because I sometimes talk too much. Because of all that talking, i felt like we reached the house faster.

"Ok, we're finally here. Let me just open the garage door real quick," He said as he grabbed some sort of remote from his pocket.

Cluck!

With a click sound, the door opened.

"How about that time when y-"

I felt like I was flying through the air, the car was tossed violently with no warning.

Everything then went dark.

"Mn..."

I woke up with a pounding and throbbing pain in my head.

What happened?

Where am I? Where's Uncle?

One moment, me and my uncle we're just talking then the car I think was tossed into something then I got knocked out.

I was still in the car.

I think.

I tried opening my eyes, wanting to know where I was at now. But when I did, it was all blurry and stinging which made it hard to properly distinguish anything. I tried listening to my surroundings instead but my heart was beating in a frenzy, drowning everything out. I sat down and tried to calm by heart beat by breathing Deep rhythmically. Soon I felt just a tiny bit better with my heart rate not being a problem

Wait...

Uncle Aurelius...

Ahh! I have to get up and find Uncle Aurelius! Where is he now? I took a few deep breaths, preparing myself to move as slowly but steadily. Every part of his body was still uncomfortable after all. I slowly forced myself up and got out of the car.

"Uncle Aurelius! Where are you?"

I started looking around me, my eye sight was considerably better now than It was a few seconds ago. Now that I think about it? Why was the car off road and in the middle of a forest? Did Uncle Aurelius put me here somehow?

Gunshots rang out from my left.

I started moving towards the sound of fighting to the best that my body was allowing me. That's probably where uncle's fighting. I wanted to get there as quickly as possible but moving through this forest was making things a lot harder than I thought.

Soon enough though I got through all the bushes and thick trees. I got into a clearing where I could see Uncle's house not far from me.

Where was all the gunshots? The forest was now way too quiet, what happened to uncle? I quietly moved through the open field before I heard movement on my left.

"Mav! Get out of the way right now!"

Just as I heard Uncle Aurelius yell, I felt my whole body being squeezed tightly. I was being crushed.

"Ahhhhh!"

I felt my bones creaking and wanting to break under pressure. grabbing me then moves me around so it could see me. I saw a humanoid but also wolfish like white skull face. In those few moments of looking into it's eyes. It's red eyes reflecting the face of terror that I didn't even realize I was doing.

"Help meeeee!"

I managed to force out a plea as I felt my body being drained of it's life. My thoughts were all over the place. I already felt too exhausted, my heart beats more frantically than I ever thought it could. I couldn't breathe any longer. My vision was failing me.

Someone plsss...

Help me

All of a sudden, I hear a flurry of gunshots and then my body being released from the crushing grip that I thought was going to end me.

"And I was hoping that you wouldn't move from where you are."

It took me a few seconds to realize that the one that was holding me on one arm was none other than my uncle.

"Uncle? I thought I was going to die."

"Don't talk too much, have my cowboy hat for a bit."

"Sure..." I said weakly.

As I was carried from his shoulder,

I for some reason got chills when I realized the monster was suddenly no where to be seen. What the hell?

"Umm Uncle, the monsters suddenly missing! Let's run from all this!"

"it's useless trust me, this monster has insane endurance. I'll probably get tired of using my semblance before we could even get back to other huntsman."

While Uncle talked, I heard rustling to my right, which was then followed by trees breaking and the monster lunging forward at us with it's huge claws.

"Ahhhhhh Uncle!"

"I know, just chill out."

I closed my eyes right as the claw was about to slash my face. But when I opened my eyes, I seemed to be fine and we we're behind the Grimm.

I heard behind me Uncle Aurelius breathed deep then brought out a gun that I have never seen before. I just realized that he'd never shown me any of his huntsman weapons before.

Uncle and the monster were having a stare down, neither of them moving an inch. I used this chance to observe the Grimm. The monster looked like it was a werewolf but with a few differences. it's face looked fake, it being more like a mask than its actual face. It's upper body was muscular but where the stomach should have was just gaping space. It's arms and legs were hairy but seemed more human while it's claws were more wolf like, it's arms and legs were more like paws.

The Grimm then suddenly howled loudly that I held my hands over my ears, trying to reduce the noise. The howl was over but then it sprinted towards us like a feral beast.

Uncle started shooting at the beast that was nimbly dodging all the bullets. The monster was surprisingly agile despite its build. What surprised me the most was that Uncle's gun never stopped shooting, never running out of ammo.

"Gotcha." he said as a bullet of his finally tore into the ankle of the monster, a smile creased his face.

Shortly after, he shot another bullet into a tree. Which was quickly pulling the monster to the tree that was shot.

"Woah! How'd you do that?"

"Don't talk yet, you're hurt."

Being scolded by Uncle, I returned my attention back on the monster, I saw it quickly raise up it's right claw and slashing downwards, tearing of its own ankle. The Grimms ankle quickly stuck on the tree. The monster then quickly vanishing without a trace.

How does it just do that?

Does It like go invisible?

Uncle stood silently with his gun out as he waited for the monster to reappear. His formerly calm expression was replaced with a formidable look.

This doesn't look good at all. I hope Uncle can finish this soon cause my body still hurts a lot from being crushed earlier.

I felt my chest strain from suddenly tightening up as I felt scorching heat in my lungs, I just started coughing, feeling something warm forcefully going up my throat. I choked on it for a second. My eyes teared up a little before spitting it out. It all splatters to the ground.

Is that my blood?

That's all my blood!?

"Mavi!? Shit! I need to finish this now."

Before I could reply, Uncle moved to the side. Dodging the Grimm that was about to stab the both of us with it's claws before shooting it in the face. The bullet only made a small dent on the bone shield on it's face but Uncle didn't stop shooting at all. Bullets appeared all over the Grimm, digging into it's left shoulder. Another going through it's chest.

BOOM BOOM!

I thought I was gonna go deaf from all the gun shots but it eventually stopped.

The Grimm was riddled to the brim with bullet holes. It didn't even get to let out whimper as it dropped dead onto the grass.

Scary...

The monster stood no chance at all but the place smells like someone dropped a bomb, aka gunpowder so that it was unpleasant to the nose.

"Sorry about that, you kinda get used to it when you've been on the field for so long."

Uncle says as he puts his gun into his holster.

The Grimm was slowly disappearing into thin air, things were finally over. More over, that was nuts! He just annihilated that Grimm, that semblance of his whatever it's called is awesome!

"W-Was that l-like your semblance."

"Yep it was, I'll fill you in with the specifics later. Help should be arriving any moment now, I called for them earlier. Also I told you to stop talking for now."

Uncle looked around for a bit before sighing. Was he still worried about something? Maybe it has friends,

"It's finally over now, I just ended things way too fast. Still processing the win yeah... Now that I think about it, that's the first time I fought a Grimm like that. It looks like a Beowulf but it certainly isn't."

While Uncle talked, I thought I saw something behind us at the corner of my eye.

Wait a second..

"Uncle! It's the Grimm!?"

"I knew it!" He said drawing his gun while turning around to shoot.

The Grimm I saw was nowhere in sight. I swear it was just there! No way.

"I definitely saw it Uncle!"

"Kid, there's noth-"

Before I could reply, I heard sounds of guts being torn apart and blood splashing around. I saw a claw sticking out of Uncle's chest. Then and there I felt like time had slowed down. My whole body was numb and stuck, all my strength left me just lie that.

Uncle...

"Uncle!!"

Wordlessly, he threw me away from him.

Thud Thud!

I landed just across from him, I kept rolling on my side till my face was on the ground. I felt pain raise up from all over my body. It hurt all over, I don't feel my ribs anymore and my back was hurting even more._

Nononono, this can't be happening! This can't be happening. Someone's going to help us here right? Where are they all at! Please, make it fast!

I exerted all the strength i could muster so that could at least get up. I need to know what happened to uncle. The moment I was able to at least assume a kneeling position was when I saw it.

The monster was holding uncle by the chest, it's claws digging into his skin. I think Uncle was trying to tell me something but I couldn't make out what he was saying.

"Please stop it!"

I tried shouting as loud as I could to get the monsters attention, I have to buy more time if I want Uncle and I to live. I think it was working as the Grimm looked towards me before smiling. It stared at me and instinctively my body just froze up, I was shivering slightly under it's gaze. After a short while it broke eye contact and started to laugh? I wasn't sure.

The Grimm turned back to uncle and raised it's other claw, before bringing it down.

"Nooooo! Stop it! STOPPP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, I felt them strain but I kept screaming, I don't care about my lungs.

Slash!

Sounds of guts and blood being torn apart echoed in my ears. I was wordless as I saw Uncle's head get separated from his body.

Dropping down onto the grass. The monster picked up the head carefully. The head was thrown just right in front of me.

I suddenly felt something in my throat, it was like I was swallowing a whole rotten apple. Tears streamed down my face splattering on my shirt and pants and all I could think about was how alone I was now.

"Uncle Aurelius.. There's no way..."

My heart was beating rapidly now more then a few minutes ago, My ribs were aching even more now. I clutched the hat I had, before I fell down onto the grass.

"So... the sleepover is gone for good? I wanted you to teach me so much more..."

I wanted to ask you how you did those cool tricks from before.

I wanted to you to tell me more of your childhood.

I'd wish that you could give me advice on what I should be.

My eyelids were starting to feel heavier and heavier. I'm just so tired... I wanna sleep. I might just wake up from this bad dream I'm having.

Yeah.

That's right.

This is all a bad dream.

All bad dreams eventually come to an end

like Mommy told me.

I guess I just have to sleep now... It's all nice and quiet. I'll soon come down from my room and see mom cooking up something good, see dad and Uncle talking over the table. It'll be just another day, nothing like this.

So I'll just close my eyes and rest for a bit...


A/N

Hello, if you're reading this I am surprised that you read through all of that. I guess I shouldn't that surprised this is kinda a short chapter compared to other fanfics. This was my first time writing something and actually posting it online. If you wanna say something about the story or think that something can be improved, leave a review or pm me I guess.

Now for the story, I introduced a new type of Grimm that I'll be going to explain a bit more on the chapters to follow. Just a heads-up also that the main cast will not really make an appearance in this story, this is because of where the mc ends up. Which I won't be spoiling, the tags supernatural and horror will give you an idea.

I'm gonna wrap this up since it's already a lot, see you in the next chapter if you liked what you read.
