"How did you do that?" Nick asked shocked.
Lynn shrugged her shoulders then said, "In simplest terms...magic."
"Magic? I thought only Hexenbeasts had magic...are you?" Nick asked a little worried.
"No...I'm not even sure what that is..." Lynn said as she eyed Nick wearily.
"Ok, well I will explain what a Grimm is once we have covered why I was looking for you…then if you would like to tell me more about yourself," Nick said as sat down on one of the logs that had been placed close to the fire pit.
"About ago I received a package from my mother to open she died. I opened it about six months ago and inside of this box was a lot of paperwork and some pictures. Some of these pictures were of me when I was younger, and there was a small picture box. When I opened the picture box there were a few pictures of a baby girl and two envelopes. One was addressed to me which explained who the baby girl was and how to find her if I ever wanted or needed to," Nick paused as pulled a white envelope from his inside jacket pocket and then said, "It had your name on it."
"Are you sure that it was me and not some other Lynn?" she asked as he handed her the envelope.
"Yes, I'm positive, I took one of the pictures and had it aged..." Nick said as he took out two pictures from his wallet and handed it to her.
"He moved the trailer? What if we come across something while he's gone?" Wu asked.
"He said he would be checking his messages a few times and day...plus if there is an emergency I could probably find them in the woods," Monroe said.
"Let's go look for him now," Wu said standing up.
"We can't...at least not yet he's out there for a reason and I can't tell you why," Monroe said.
"Why not?" Wu asked.
"Because he promised not to," Hank paused as he eyed Monroe then said, "The only thing I got from him is that he went to do some Grimm training with another Grimm that he found."
"I never said that they were a Grimm...he didn't know for sure," Monroe said.
"Why didn't you make sure before?" Wu asked.
"We had just rescued her from Reapers! You think we wanted to make sure with a blutbot? Are you freaking crazy?" Monroe raged.
Wu and Hank smiled then Hank asked, "So it's a female? He move on from Juliette so soon?"
"Damn it!" muttered Monroe.
"Look, I will say this and only this leave him alone until he is ready to tell you...it's important to him," Monroe said.
"Alright, we will leave you alone for now," Wu paused as he looked around then asked, "Where is Rosalie?"
"She has a doctor's appointment, she should be back soon," Monroe said as the front door opened again and in walked Rosalie and another dark haired female.
Lynn has just finished the letter as Nick finished getting the camp stove set up and the food out of the grocery bags and into the several coolers that he had in the back of his jeep. She looked up at him and watched him as he pulled food out to start a meal for a few minutes then she stared at the letter in her hands a few for a few moments then she started to reread the letter to make sure that she did not miss anything.
Lynn,
I know that if you are reading this then your brother has found you. I know that I missed so much of life because I believed that if I was in your life it would bring you nothing but trouble and danger as it did for your brother and his father. I realize now as I write this letter that I was wrong to leave you, that I should be the one to explain everything to you, and I should be the one to train you. But I don't think that I will be the one to explain everything to you, your brother will be the one to explain everything to you. I spoke with your father briefly a few days ago when he informed me that your Grimm heritage activated so I write this to you now and send it to your brother in case I can't reach you before things come to an end with my current situation. Nicholas Burckhardt is your older half-brother, your full name is Merlynn Burckhardt Ó hÍcidhe there is a copy of your birth certificate in the small picture box that proves everything that I'm telling you in this letter is true. Right now your brother does not know that you are a Grimm like he is, but he may suspect that you are and will help you understand what a Grimm is and train you how to protect yourself and others. Trust him and his friends he will protect you and keep you safe.
Kelly Burckhardt
"Are you alright?" Nick asked as he broke through her thoughts.
"I'm fine, just a lot to process in one day," Lynn paused then said, "My father knew that she was a Grimm..."
Nick froze when she said the last word and then he turned to face her and asked, "Did she explain what a Grimm was?"
"No...she told me that my brother would explain it if she could not," she said as she met his gaze.
"Well, where should we start?" he asked.
Lynn smiled as she put the letter but into the envelope stood up and then said, "How about with dinner?"
Nick grinned back and said, "That's great place to start."
"Have you guys seen Nick?" Trubel asked.
"He's out in the forest training for a week," Monroe said.
"Where? Did he move the trailer?" she asked.
"Yes, he took the trailer with him so he could get more familiar with the weapons and study the books by himself...he needed some time away," Monroe said.
"Why?" she asked.
"There was a side effect from him getting his powers back...Juliette has turned into a Hexenbeast...he suspects that she set up his mother to be killed...so he is preparing himself in case he has to kill her," Rosalie said.
"Damn...are you sure?" Trubel asked.
"She woged in front of us about a week ago," Rosalie said sadly.
"Well, damn...I don't think that I should stay at Nick's place," Trubel said.
"No, we can work something out, Monroe why don't you take her to the back and talk to her about it?" Rosalie said trying to hint to him that he should tell her why Nick was really out in the woods hiding out.
"Sure, Trubel come on let's let the two police officers get back to their work," Monroe said as he motioned for Trubel to follow him into the back room.
"What is going on?" Trubel asked once Monroe closed the door behind them.
"Nick is out in the woods training a new Grimm," Monroe said.
"He found another one?" Trubel asked shocked.
"Well...he hopes that she isn't a Grimm...but he thinks that she is," Monroe said cryptically.
"I don't understand either she is or she isn't," Trubel said.
"He got a lead on a possible Grimm a few days after his mother's death," Monroe said.
"And he found her?" Trubel asked.
"Yes...in a sense...a reaper found her first, Nick got her out and took her and the trailer somewhere else on his property out there with the trailer to help ease her into being a Grimm if she really is one and start her training on the weapons and when they come back she should be able to defend herself at least," Monroe said.
"I'm guessing that no one else knows besides you and Rosalie," Trubel said.
"No, Nick said that if you called to let you know what was going on, but you showed up instead...is everything ok? How's Josh?" Monroe asked.
"Josh is safe now, he will call if he needs any help," Trubel said as she shrugged her shoulders.
