Chapter 2

A/N: See end notes at the end of this chapter

"You promised you'd keep us safe", the little blonde and brunette girl in white dresses said in unison. The blondes cranium wide open to show a decaying brain that was crawling with maggets and worms eating the dead flesh . While the brunette had her entrails in her hand holding it outward for Cole to see . He can make out what sounds like grimm .

"Why did you lie to us", they said in unison .

Cole felt a thug at his leg . Looking down to see the man in atlesian armor with his entrails dragging behind him.

"How could you fail me like that I trusted you", he said as maggets crawled from his entrails .

"You made a promise ", the blonde girl appeared before Cole missing her lower jaw . Her dress heavily soaked in blood

"You said you'd keep us safe ", said the brunette . The right side of her face decaying flesh .

"That nothing bad would happen ", said the half torso . The right side of his helmet cracked to show an eye being eaten by maggets .

"Yet you all let us die ", they all said in unison as Cole was enveloped in hundreds of hands around him pulling him into nothing .

...

He shoots up with a jolt covered in cold sweat ,heart hammering in his chest reeling from the horroried nightmare . He has to keeps his eyes close as he still here's the sights and sounds of the nightmare. Keeping his eyes closed he counts to four and exhales , then counts to four and inhales and proceeds to do this process for several seconds . Finally he opens his eyes slowly once his heart rate beats at a steady rhythm .

Where am I , he ask himself as he squeezes whatever he's laying on . He frowns feels like hay . Wait am i in a barn he ask himself ,

sniffing the air to be greeted by the smell of hay and animals . Yep definitely a barn .

Cole begins to rise only to regret said action within second of excruciating pain. Looking down he notes that his wounds have been bandaged , and he's currently half naked in a god damn barn . He puts his hand around his neck in search for the flash drive he got from the mission only to come up empty handed .

damn it , damn it , damn it so not good he mentally scolded himself . While laying back down on the makeshift hay bed .

Looking around the barn he couldn't see any of his gear what so ever , he also saw that the barn door was propped open .

We'll I might as we'll figure out where I'm at and hopefully figure out where my gear is he told himself .

He proceeds to push himself up onto his feet only to stagger and fall .

"Aw fuck " , he says quietly catching himself with his hands as he falls .

how long have I been out for he wonders . Using his arms to crawl like an army man . Eventually coming across a pitchfork propped up against hay . He very shakily uses the pitchfork to help him stand and then proceeds to uses it to help him walk .

Making it to the door he's greeted by the warm glow from the sun and hit with a breeze . Birds singing off in the distance . Taking in his surroundings Cole saw a two story wood house belonging to the residents most likely , a few horse stables near by ,chicken coop . A fenced field like area where crops grew nearest to the barn and house .

In the field Cole could make out a tractor in the middle and what appeared to be a little girl playing nearest the tree lines . He takes in a breath of fresh air once more but quickly stops . Something doesn't feel right the birds that were singing a minute ago just stopped .

His mind began to race running scenario after scenario . Scanning the Forrest for any glare from a snipers scope . He only noticed it on his third scans of the tree line . There hunched over the edge of the tree line a large hulking dark figure with bright red eyes staring directly at the little girl playing .

GRIMM

Alarm bells start going off in his head . Ursa most like major class possibly judging from the size he told himself . The grimm slowly creeps out from the tree line towards the unsuspecting girl .

With all his might Cole shoves the door open causing it to hit the wall and stagers out toward the field .

"Run !", he screams to no avail .

"Damn it ", he muttered under his breath as he half limped half sprinted toward the fence .

Leaping over the fence only to land flat on his ass . He stumbles to his feet and proceeds to run in the direction of the girl .

"Run ! ", he screams as loud as he can while waving with his free hand .

The girl heard him and looked in his direction with a confused look and then she looked behind her only to see the glowing red eyes of the gigantic Ursa Major staring at her . She lets out a terrified scream and takes off running . The Ursa lets out a furious Roar and barrels through the fence and gives chase to the girl.

Damn it get in gear Cole scolds himself as he sees the girl running from the Ursa from afar . Picking himself off the ground and brakes out in a limping run after the two .

Everything in his body is scream . Everything in his body is telling him to stop . He keeps his eyes locked on the girl getting chased causing him to push himself further . His lungs is filled with the smell of blood coming from his wounds .he feels the wet stickiness against his skin in the wind . Ignoring the pain he runs faster and faster . He sees as the ursas right at the girls heels .

The Ursa roaring as it chases after her hitting the ground nearest her feet . Causing the little girl to go flying through the air she lands with a thud near the tractor . She lets out a cream full of terror and fear and proceeds to crawl under the tractor .

Cole was within feels and he saw the Ursa rise onto it's hind legs with one paw drawn back for a strike . He heard the little girls cry . Charging the pitchfork with his sembalance he threw it at the Ursa hitting it in it's shoulder causing it to stagger and return to all fours .

Now taking advantaged of the dazed Ursa Cole hopes onto it's back and proceeds to punch it with a series of electrified punches. He repeatly hits the beast with his fist causing it to cry out in pain . The potent stingy smell of burned ursha fur begins to fill his norstrals .Proceeding to break off one of the Ursas bones spike Cole stabs it in its back before returning to punching . Cole breaks off another bone spike but before he can use it the Ursa shakes him off and hits him with the back of its paw .

Sending him flying into the tractor causing it to tip to its side revealing the little girl. She lets out a terrified cry when she realises her covers gone .

Cole looks at the girl who's sitting there holding her legs eyes full of terror and fear . he gives her a weak smile trying to emote to her that everything will be all right . the Ursa let's out a viocus roar scaring the girl causing her to whimper .

"Are you gonna let her die ", Cole heard the voice of the blonde ask as he stared at the scared girl.

No one's dying today he tells himself as he shakingly gets back on his feet griping the Ursa spike in one hand .

Damn I have to end this fast he tells himself when he notices how much blood is seeping through the bandages . The ursa let's out a furous roar as it continues to pace .

"Alright alright big guy no need to get impatient ",says Cole .

Taking a stance of having the hand holding the spike angled in a potuon to strike owhile the othe arm r drawn back and aimed at the Ursa . He proceeds to slowly inhale and exhale causing his aura to flux as he does so .

Gotta time this just right he tells himself before closing his eyes and waits .

He hears as the Ursa major roars as it charges at him , the shifting of dirt that's getting kicked up , along with the potent smell of dried blood on its breath . as the beast gets within striking distance Coles eyes shot open and he proceeds to hit the Ursa in the eye with the bone spike followed by his open palm charged with aura causing the Ursa to expand . as the Ursas about to pop be quickly kicks it away and shield the little girl with his body as bone fragments as sent everywhere .

Some fragments land here the two sticking in the ground . others graze the tractor . a few hit the tractors tires causing then to hisss as they lose air pressure . Cole feels two hit and is ovrcomed by a wave of pain but does not break his protective potion over the girl .

"Damn it ", he hissed .

Once the bone shower was over he felt his eyes heavy as he began the cycle of fading in and out of concousness from blood loss . he removed himself from covering the girl and falls to his side . .Slowly closing his eyes he can make out a faint silloute running toward then .

"AMY!" , a terrified voice cried out as the silloute got closer .

And with that Cole slipped into unconsciousness ..
