Chapter 8
Arriving at the park, Red looked around and smiled at the site of the trees, shredding the colorful leaves as the branches become bare. She walked in the sidewalk for a while, letting the lamp posts shine down on her each time she walks by.
it's so beautiful and quiet at night. She thought to herself as she looks up at the starry night sky, the cresent moon was glowing beautifully down, as if smiling a white sparkling smile. Red looked over at the far distance from the path and sees the dark looking trees, big and old due to many years of standing tall and proud. She giggles to herself as she skips over to them, abandoning the bright path of the sidewalk.
She walks through the tall thick bushes to reach her destination, the sounds of leaves cracking under her shoes that's like music to her ears, she starts to kick and push all the leaves into a little pile than threw them up in the air making them fall around her as she playfully spins around under them, it was as if the leaves and her movements where choreographed, dancing around like some sort of ritual as her long flowing hair blew in the cold wind as it blew.
She fell back in the pile of leaves and continues to throw them up in the air as she giggles, the smell of the earth going airborne as she inhales it's sweetness. Red closed her eyes and smiled as she felt the leaves falling slowly around her, she thinks back to the days of old, when she would play in the woods. In the Winter she would dance in the forest as the snow lightly falls, in the Spring she would pick wild flowers, making them out of crowns as she hums to herself as the birds sings, in the Summer she would climb the tallest tree and pick fresh fruits to eat, letting it's sweetness take her in, and in the autumn she would do exactly what she is doing now.
Oh yes, how Red missed those days. Away from the cities, away from technology, away from this urban society her kind was forced to live, of pollution, of violence, of nothing but struggling to survive. I miss this...I miss this so much... she thought to herself, All Red wished was to live in the simple life once again, to be close to mother nature, to be at peace.
Red felt at peace, her worries, her anger, her fear, all washing away.
She opens her eyes and looks up at the night sky through the black bare tree branches, for their in the branch just above her there's a bright red maple leaf, she saw the outline due to the bright moon, Red smiled at it as the leaf swayed with the wind.
beautiful, just beautiful. She thought as she wished for the leaf to be hers, as if the leaf itself heard her thoughts it snapped off and began to gently fall above Red, swaying side to side as she reaches out her hand in the air to try and catch it. It felt like time stood still for this moment, the winds calms itself down, the music of the animals of the night went to a low hum, and Red's bright green eyes fixed on the leaf then finally, they connected.
Red felt the leaf brush her finger tips as Red catches it with her hand, for a moment she felt true happiness, as if mother nature herself gave it to her as a gift. The happy moment however was soon stolen away when a stranger knocked Red back down in a flash, Red saw darkness for a moment, feeling dazed by the sudden impact. As her eyes quickly adjusted themselves she felt rough hands popping open her coat and lifting up her sweater and skirt.
It took her a moment to get back to reality and realizing what was happening to her. "No!" She screams as she starts to hit the man on his chest, but he was much larger than her, using his body weight to pin her down as he reaches down and forcefully yanks down her white panties.
" Get off of me! Get the hell of-" Red screams at him, but the big man slapped her hard on her left cheek, cutting her words short.
" keep screaming and I'll strangle you! " He said to her as he starts to unbuckle his belt.
Red couldn't see his face, it was too dark to see features, so she quickly felt her way until she found his face and clawed down over his eyes, drawing blood. The man screamed and slaps her again before forcefully covered her mouth with his chubby hands. Red started kicking him and shrieked in his mouth as she felt him claw her legs over her stockings, hearing the thin red fabric rip with his nails. He tries to pry her closed legs open with his knees As he unzips his pants and pulls out his manhood, once done he used his free hand to grab hold of her knee, using more force to pry her legs open.
After a long struggle and figh, Red's legs are now forcefully wide open, exposed to the rapist above her. With his hand still on her mouth she bites down on his index finger, filling her mouth with the hot crimson liquid. The man screams louder than before and tries to pull away, but Red wouldn't let go, she kept biting down as hard as she could, refusing to let this man break her, she would break him first.
"Let go of me you stupid bitch!" The man screamed as he made a fist and threw it down at her face, the gash on Red's forehead reopened, soaking the bandaid, she saw stars when the man started to punched over and over her head but she refused to let him go, she bid down harder on his finger, scraping her teeth against his flesh as they sank deeper, the blood of the rapist spilled out of her mouth and down to her chin, dripping down to her breast and sweater as her dark green eyes looked up at the man's dark hidden face. He punched Red one more time right in the eye until he reaches in his jacket and points a gun to her head. She froze then, loosening the muscles in her jaw as she slowly let's him go.
" About time you fucking listen." He hissed out as he sucks on his finger, "now you're gonna shut up and lay back down without a fight, that clear? "
Red tried to keep her breathing steady as she slowly and cautiously does what he says, laying back to the leafy ground as the man moves the gun from her head to her face. Red's stomach tied into knots, making her feel sick as she felt the man's disgusting hand on her flat stomach, caressing her down from her navel to her thighs than stopping under her knees, opening her legs wide once more as he positioned himself between her legs.
" You deserve everything on what's coming to you bitch" he said to her as he prepares himself by rubbing his cock, Red was giving up hope until she heard a low threating growl and saw a large dark figure of a man with glowing yellow eyes looking down at them.
" Wolf..."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Bigby was wondering around the streets of New York, not having a real destination, just lost in jumbled thoughts to even care. The Fables of his community looked down on him, a wolf who's trying to change, but you can never change the past. Everyone would remember him as the monster who terrorized villages and eat countless people, the sisters said it themselves they used him because of what he did to Red in the past.
" I WAS a good girl, like how you WERE a bad wolf!" Red's words from the morning still lingered in his head, her dark green eyes burned inside him as if she branded him with magical green fire. She went from someone shy and innocent to a stranger of darkness and sin, it was nerve racking.
" Because it was your fault the girl changed. "
Bigby frowned at the words the fable said, , knowing that all he did was ruin lives, and Red and her grandmother were the only people who survived after being eaten thanks to the woodsman, so of course it's bound to change them... The day I ate you up is the day you change...wasn't it Red...
Bigby stopped at his tracks and stood there staring at the sidewalk, feeling guilty by the realization. Red Riding Hood, turning cold and hard from the trauma she endured. He thought back to the day he saw her, hitting the reply button on what he could have done. Bigby could have spared her, he could have just left her be and continue on and ignore her, but no...He had to be the dark shadow of the forest and stalk an innocent girl.
He looked around his location and recognized it as central park. One of the few places in the city that's close to nature, close to home. He took out his pack of cigarettes, casually shifting the pack just enough for a cigarette to pop out and bitting it out. He took out his zippo lighter and turns it on, just when Bigby was about to light up his smoke the smell of blood flooded the air, he looked up and sniffed the air to track the location, he then heard a distance scream from a man and the smell of someone else's blood, someone he perfectly knew who it was.
"Red? No, no way." He tries to deny it but blood never lies, Bigby puts away his lighter and breaks the cigarette in his hands, not looking up from the direction of the scent. He starts heading towards the smell, picking up the pace each time the scent grew closer, he then went full running speed by the sound of a man yelling at someone.
" Let go of me you stupid bitch! "
Was all he heard, fueling him to run faster until he reached the location and felt his stomach drop by the stronger scent of blood, he quickly ran through the bushes and there he saw a large heavy looking man position himself between two pale slim legs, and he finally saw her face. Red laying half naked on the ground with a gun aiming to her face. Her mouth full of blood, cheeks bruising, and her hands and forehead bleeding.
Bigby saw red, a different kind of red. A red that filled him with rage to the point of trembling, his eyes glowed as he looked down at the disgusting man. He stormed right behind him, a low growl escapes his lips as he makes a fist, popping his knuckles by doing so.
" You're going to get everything you deserve bitch! " He heard the man say, boy has he ever been more right than all of his pathetic life.
" Wolf..." Red weakly called him out, making the man follow her eyes and gasps in horror, he quickly aimed the gun to him but Bigby was quicker. He grabbed hold of the man's wrist and broke it, forcing the gun out of his hand, with a threating growl Bigby grabbed him by the neck and threw him away from Red, he took off his brown coat and covered her with it as he stomped off to where the man landed. The man struggled to get up on his feet as he pulls up his pants. Once close enough, Bigby gave him a hard punch to the face, knocking out 3 teeth.
"No please! I'm begging you!" The man was whimpering as he spits out blood and tried to run away but Bigby grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and broke one of his legs by kicking him in the kneecap.
The rapist's whimpers became screams as a hot pain traveled through his leg, hearing the sounds of his very bones cracking. Bigby's raged controlled his actions, beating up a mundy was way different than fables, they were much weaker, easier to break, easier to kill. Bigby should stop with his beatings, he needs to but he can't, no, he refuses to stop. Letting a low life try to have his way with Red was unforgiving, letting him get away with it was unheard of. No, he had to pay the price, Bigby didn't care about the consequences.
He grabbed the man by shirt and punched him again in the face, hearing the sounds of more bones being cracked, most likely the nose this time. Bigby was about to punch him once again until he felt two slim arms wrap around his right muscular one, stopping him from throwing the final blow. Bigby jerked his head down and snarled, almost lashing out on whoever stopped him until he saw her, Red, using all her strength to hold him back.
" Don- don't kill him." She breathed out, keeping her serious look on his face. She kept her eyes locked on Bigby's as blood trickles down to her face, leaving a trail starting from her head, than going down to her right eyebrow than eye, making her close it to stop the red liquid from blinding her. Red collapsed then, her legs giving out from under her but Bigby quickly let's go of the passed out man and grabbed a hold of Red to keep her from falling.
"Red? Listen to me, you're gonna be okay. Do you here me? You're going to be fine. " Bigby kept saying to her as he holds her with one arm against his chest, while the other he brushed her hair away from her face and wipes her blood away from her eyes.
"Mmn..wh..why.." Red starts to mumble something out to him as she reaches for his hand on her face, but It was much to mushed up for Bigby's ears to hear.
"Red i cant understand what you're saying, just rest" He says to her, she then grabs a hold of his shirt, staining it with her own blood as she uses him to try to keep herself up. Bigby adjusted his arms in order to holster Red up closer to him, she wrapped her arms around him and clenched on the back of his shirt to prevent from falling, even though Bigby won't let that happen.
" Why is everything spinning? " she asked as she tries to get her feet on solid ground. Red was getting her speech back but felt dizzy, Bigby gently puts her down but still has a hold of her.
"Are you feeling nauseous? Dizzy?" He asked her as she nods her head. " You might have a concussion. " he concluded, he lifted Red up again bridal style and started walking out of the bushes and sat her down on the bench. " Just hang on, let me cuff this guy at least, be right back." His gentle gestures soon turned dark as soon as he stormed back to the man, he looked down at him, feeling the rage leaking back into him. He looked back at Red's direction before kicking him a few times over the ribs.
Bigby had to force himself from stopping, or else he'd kill him. He threw him over his shoulders while picking up the gun and headed back to bench, where Red was trying to stand up "Take it easy Red, don't push yourself. " he said to her as he creased his forehead.
" I'm fine now Bigby, no need to worry. " she said to him, Red pointed to a light poll that was low and dimming out " Cuff him there.." Was all she said as she slowly starts to walk towards it. Bigby threw the man to the ground and leaned him to the post before cuffing his hands around. He took out the bullets of the gun and wipes it clean as Red keeps watch.
She then takes off Bigby's over sized coat and waited patiently to give it back as he wraps the man's hand on the gun before placing it beside him. Once everything was clean and set they both walked to the nearest payphone. The silence was heavy between them, Bigby kept glancing down at her thinking of something to say. " Well call the police on the guy Red...have him arrested and away, from you and other girls. " he said to her in hope it would make her feel better, despite of almost getting raped at gunpoint.
"Best let them to handle it than us.." she said without looking at him.
" Red, I-"
" No need to apologize Sheriff, you did save me." She quickly said to him, trying to avoid the subject. Once they make it to the payphone, Bigby inserted coins while Red continues to just stare down at her feet. He eyed Red from head to toe as the phone rang. She looked liked a mistreated doll with her hood up and her hair sticking wildly out from her hood.
" 9-1-1 what is your emergency? "
"Uh yeah, there's this guy chained up to a post in central park, he seems to be unconscious but he has a gun on him." Bigby explained over the phone with a phony voice. " Really? Okay. " he then hangs up and looks back at Red. " How are you holding up kid?"
" I'm not a kid.." she simply said to him, ignoring his question. Bigby just sighed and added more coins to the payphone.
" I know you're not...just wanted to know if you were okay. " he said back as the phone rang.
" business office. "
"Hey Snow. "
"Bigby? What are you doing calling at this hour?"
" Got caught up with something and in now of need of assistance." He answered her question as he looked back at Red, he lowered his voice and turned away so she won't see or hear what he's about to say. " I need you to call Swineheart for me, to meet us at the office. Its an emergency so I need him a.s.a.p."
"What's happened Bigby, are you alright? " Snow asked in a worried tone.
" I'll explain later." He looked back at the girl only to see her walking away to the other direction. "see you in a bit. " Bigby quickly hung up the phone and quickened his walk to catch up to Red.
" Why have you been following me? " she asked while starting to walk faster.
" Haven't been following you, seems like it's just one of those days." He casually replied as he lights up a cigarette. Bigby leaned a bit closer to her as two police cars passed by them with there sirens on, heading the direction they came from. "We should share a cab."
"I rather walk."
" Ain't gonna happen. " he said as he blew out smoke and flicked some ashes to the ground.
"I can take care of myself. "
" Didn't seem like it."
"I was alone in the dark, here is bright and crowded if you haven't noticed. "
" Still ain't gonna stop a mundy from snatching you up again. "
"What don't you like about Mundies sheriff? You make them sound bad" Red angerly asked him while stopping right in front of him.
Bigby just blinked at her, getting annoyed by her reaction. " Well for one, one of them tried to rape you In case you forgotten, I'd mark that as bad in my book. "
" One mundy's action does not mean they are all the same. "
" Are you kidding me Red? Why are you defending a dirt bag after he put a gun to your face? Weren't you afraid of him?"
"I wasn't afraid of him, I could have handled it myself, and I'm not defending him, I'm just saying they are not all the same."
" handle it your- oh come on." He repeated her in disbelief as he took a step away from her, looking away as if he had no idea what to say to such a lie. "You shouldn't even be hanging out with Mundies in the first place. Even if some are nice people, there's too much at stake to be gambling with the likes of them. Do you wanna be exposed to the world what we are? What we ALL are? " Bigby shot back, getting his temper out of control.
" You know what, maybe I do wanna be exposed! It's better than to act like I don't exist!" She yelled at him.
"That's not your decision to make Red! You don't make decisions! "
Red slapped him across the face, catching glances and attention from the onlookers they are speaking of. Bigby looked around and gave out dark glares at the ones who lingered too much on them, making them scurry away. He looked back down at her with threating glowing eyes as Red looked up at him with her own threating glare. Bigby forced his breathing, trying to calm down as he took one last long drag than threw the cigarette away, he whistled out and raised his hand up as a taxi came driving to their direction and parked in front of them.
"Get in." He ordered her as he opens the cab door.
"I told you I rath-"
" I said GET IN!" He shouted at her, making her jumped back. Red was furious at him but did what she was told. She climbed inside the cab as Bigby gives the taxi driver the location of there destination, once on the road, both fables looked outside of each of there own window, too angry at each other to even speak. The taxi went to a complete stop, Bigby paid the driver then quickly got out of the cab, holding the door open for Red to get out, "You coming? " He asked her as he peeks inside the vehicle, losing his patients with her.
Red just glared back at him and opened her own door, sticking out her tongue before getting out. Bigby gave her a face as if he's wordlessly saying, 'really? ' than rolls his eyes as he shuts the door.
Red was looking up at The Woodlands building with arms crossed, "you brought me to the Wolf's Den. " She said to him with no surprise.
" Swineheart is here to take a look at your injuries. " Bigby replied as he rested his hand on the small of her back to lead her to the building but Red pulled away and just quickly walked inside on her own.
damn girl, she's like a feisty cat with that Attitude of hers. Bigby thought as he grunted out an annoyance and followed her, Hoping that she can corporate with the good doctor inside.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
It must have been a sight to behold, Snow, Bufkin, and Dr. Swineheart all stared at Red and Bigby as they both walked into the office together. Bigby's shirt covered with blood and hand prints, his knuckles sore and red from punching and a mean look on his face as he looked back at them. Not to mention the condition Red was in made Bigby look 10 times scarier, her face black and blue, a terrible looking black eye, dried blood that ran down her chin from her mouth, stockings ripped with trails, and crumbles of leaves again twigs poking out of her wild undone hair.
" Hey Miss. Snow, long time no see" Red greeted as she half heartedly waved at her with her right hand.
" What on earth happened to you Red?!" Snow asked with horror as she ran up to her and pulled down her hood, exposing more of her beaten up face by the light. Red glanced up at Bigby then to his hands, Snow followed her eyes and shot her angry glare at Bigby. " What is the meaning of this Bigby? Was this your emergency? Did you do this to her?!" Snow demanded as she grabbed his hand to see his knuckles.
" It's not what it looks like Snow. " He tries to explain "She was..well..." he paused for a moment and looked down at Red, not sure whether to tell them of the sensitive subject.
"Someone tried to rape me and your idiot wolf here saved me Snow. " Was all Red said as she rested her hands on her hips.
" Come along here Red, let's see what we can do." Swineheart quickly cut into the conversation after hearing what happened. He opened up his heavy medical bag and started to dig deep in for bandages, pills and other supplies. " Red I'm gonna need you to take off your coat."
Red traced one of the black buttons of her coat, hesitant for a moment until she finally started to unbutton them down, Snow reached for her coat and carefully removes it as Dr. Swineheart examines her face. "How bad does it look Doctor? " Red asks as he gently tilts her head.
" Well, it doesn't look real good, but I see no signs of broken bones or critical damage to your eye so that's a good thing. " He replies as he reaches a bottle of pills and shook two out. " Here, take these, it will help ease any pain you have. "
" She complaining earlier about feeling dizzy and nauseous, also saying her surroundings spinning" Bigby commented
"Sounds like symptoms of a concussion, do you remember anything before the assault? "
Red thought for a moment and nodded her head, confident that her memory is fine.
Snow gave Red a paper cup of water for her pills as Bufkin lands on her side. "Is there anything I can do to help Dr. Swineheart?"
" Well Miss. Red here needs to have her eye on ice fast, so if you are able. "
" leave it to me doc" said the little monkey before flying away.
" Now Miss. Red, I don't mean to put you on the spot but you have to remove the rest of your clothing to examine any other injuries or damages." Dr. Swineheart said to her as he puts on his stethoscope and pulling out a white gown. " You can change into this behind the room dividers while I make the preparation"
Red started to lift up her black sweater, exposing her chest until she remembered a certain someone in the same room. "Miss. Snow?" She covered herself and looked up at Snow than glances back at Bigby, both girls than looked at him with the same expression on there faces.
"Alright I get it, I'm going" Bigby replies as he raises both hands up and starts walking out the door.
" About time the dog went outside..." she mumbles as she strips of her clothes as Dr. Swineheart and Snow looked at each other after Red's comment.
" Red, I know it's difficult for you, after what Bigby has done to you in the past. But he is different now, and he's trying his best to do right. Mostly to you it seems.." Snow said to the beaten girl as she helps her out of her skirt, revealing Red's porcelain skin to her.
Red said nothing as her skirt pooled to her feet, Dr. Swineheart held the hospital gown ready ad Snow unhooks Red's bra and slides them off; once off, Swineheart quickly slid the gown on Red as Snow ties it from the back. Red sits on top of the desk as Snow helps her raise up the gown just above her thighs.
" You were lucky Bigby was there to save you Miss. Red. That must count for something" He said to her as he checks the bruises on her inner thigh, frowning as he the scratch marks from where the rapist grabbed so hard.
" is it really luck when a wolf comes to save me from another wolf...in the end I'm just gonna be someone else's pray.." Red quietly said, comparing Bigby and the rest of the terrible people in the world.
Both Swineheart and Snow frowned at her from that, looking up at Red's eyes then away, both not sure on what words to say, so all 3 kept silent as the doctor continues to work on her injuries.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Bigby was waiting outside by the gates, smoking a cigarette while waiting for Red to come out. It could have been an hour that passed, maybe less he wasn't sure, he had no watch on him, only his cheek that still had the faint lingering sting from when Red slapped him. " I was just trying to help her. The hell is her problem anyways? " He Thought out to himself, annoyed by her stubbornness. He inhaled the toxic fumes into his lungs and holding It in, letting the smoke burn him inside as he feels his nerves calming down.
He heard footsteps heading towards the gate and he sees her, Red all patched up on her forehead and a white eye patch that's covering her black eye. She was covering her natural light porcelain skin under a heavy cake layer of make up, hiding her bruises as well as thick black eyeliner, long full eyelashes and ruby red lipstick on. She had her bandage covered hand in each of her coat pocket as she sucks on a lollipop greedily, Red looked down and blinked at Bigby's new little collection of cigarette butts he smoked while waiting
"Building a sandcastle of ash?" She asked.
Bigby exhaled the smoke from his lungs, surrounding himself with it as his eyes locked on her face. " too far of a drive to go to the beach. " he shot back when the threw the cigarette butt down and stomped it out. "Did you get a treat for being good? " He joked about the sucker that Red was twirling around by the white stick then popping it out of her mouth.
" Didn't you know? Good girls get rewarded. " she licked the blood colored candy
"So I guess you never were a 'bad girl' could have sworn you were one from what you said at the bakery. " Bigby said sarcastically as he raises and eyebrow.
Red shrugs her shoulders and stuck the cherry flavored lollipop back into the side of her mouth. " If you steal it from Crane's desk not bad than I guess so" she said as she started walking out the gates.
Bigby rolls his eyes as he follows her out "So? What did Swineheart say?" He asked as Red kept walking, she then stops for a moment and looks back at him, twirling her candy in her mouth.
" Well, so I did had a small concussion." She answered his question as she continues to Suck on the lollipop.
" Really? How bad? "
"Not too bad, I still have to avoid, loud noise, bright lights, tv and phone, in other words, I have to find myself a ditch and live like a cave troll for a while" she joked as she fixes her eyepatch.
" Well that good that it's not so serious. What else did he say? "
Red paused for a moment, thinking of the other things the good doctor said to her. " he was worried that since I did hit my head hit hard I could have been in shock or had a few seconds of lost memory or something so he did check me if I was really penetrated or not. " she said to him, she grew quiet for a moment, lost in thought as she swallowed her cherry flavored saliva.
" Well? "
"Hmm?" She hummed out a questionable tone to him.
" Did the mundy bastard...go through with it or not? "
" Oh! No no, my maiden head is still in tack."
huh? Bigby's mind went blank, as well as the look on his face. " Maiden head? " He asked
Red looked back at him raising an eyebrow. " I guess the term is a bit out of date...what do they call it now a days ? 'Bumping the ugly? Breaking the hymen? Deflower-"
" I get the idea Red, so you mean to tell me you have been a virgin all this time? " Bigby asked with disbelief.
Red nodded with her mouth full, "yep. The cherry is still in tack " she pulled out her lollipop, making a 'pop' sound as it escapes between her lips.
Bigby felt suddenly uncomfortable, looking at another direction as he asks a more personal question. "So you and your boyfriend-"
" Boyfriend? " she interrupted him
"Yeah, well..aren't you and Gren um.." he felt embarrassed to the point he couldn't finish the sentence, making Red laugh out loud.
" God no, someone else got dibs on him, and he's like a brother to me. " She laughs out again "What's with all these questions anyways, "
"I just assumed since well, at the apartments..what were you doing there? " He asked her until he remembers the complaint Cinderella's step sisters called for. " Do you really live in that building? "
Red turns around and eyes him, "Why do you even care where I live Wolf! Can you stop with all the sniffing around? "
"I just..I just wanna make sure you are okay Red, I do care and I don't want-"
" Oh my god! Don't even say that Wolf! It's because of you my family locked me up as if I was a house pet for almost 100 years!" Red threw her lollipop and punched Bigby on his chest but he didn't budge, he just looked down at her unfazed. She grew angry at that, and started to punch his chest over and over again with both fist at him like he was a brick wall, throwing all her bottled up anger and frustration to the wolf in front of her.
Bigby just looked down at her with sad eyes, her repeated punches didn't hurt, no matter how hard she tried, yet he just stood there, letting her take it out on him. " Red.."
" Everyone forgot about me! Everyone thought I disappeared into nothing! All because of the fear my grandmother had of you! " her hands ached but Red continued until Bigby grabbed both hands.
" I'm sorry Red, for everything...everything I have done to you, everything I have put you through...let me make it up to you, I don't know how yet..but give me a chance to make things right.." Bigby apologized, meaning every word he said to her. Red stood still, no longer fighting her way out of his grip.
She stared up at him in his eyes as he stared in hers, the city noises becoming a mumble sounds then to nothing, Red knew, he was telling the truth, she saw it through the brown tinted windows of his mind. Bigby let's go of her left hand and gently cuffs her cheek, lightly brushing her skin with his thumb.
Red felt like crying, she wanted to cry and trust in his words, but as her green eyes traveled down to his lips, making her grow angry, remembering being devoured whole by this fable. The vivid memory of a black wolf opening his mouth, exposing his sharp teeth to her before everything went black. Red glared up at him, her soft features of her bruised face go dark as she slapped his hand away from her, Red pulls away from his grasp and spits on his face, making Bigby flinch away, then looks back at her with shock.
" Fuck you Wolf..."
They started at each other for what felt like ages, Red in hatred while Bigby in disappointment. cars passing by them and the clouds in the night sky quietly bests it's thunderous drums before it starts to cry cold autumn rain. " So, is this how you want it to be Red.."
" I rather sleep with Mundies than to make things right with you. " She said to him before turning around and started walking away.
" Red!" Bigby called out, making her stop and glare back at him.
" What is it..."
Bigby's face went dark, expression unreadable as he slowly takes out a cigarette, placing it between his lips than lighting it up, making his face glow orange as the lighter burns brightly against the water element as Bigby takes a drag from the cigarette. "Don't be hanging around Mundies..."
" Or what Bigby?"
Bigby exhales the thick heavy smoke out of his lungs before looking back at Red with his yellow glowing eyes. " Or you're gonna regret it when I catch you."
