Chapter 4: The Silas Bunch
Meanwhile at Monroe's house, he is having a discussion with an older gentleman who looks a little like him when the door bell rings. He stands up from the couch and goes to get it. "Coming…" he says to the people on the other side. He then opens the door and sees his friends the Lawrences "Mary… Allan… Kimberly?" Looks at Mary and Allan concerned " Before I ask what you're doing here I am not going to like the answer am I?"
"No." said Allan
" Ok. Just so I'm are you doing here?" asked Monroe
"We need your help Kimberly is being hunted by a royal who wants to kill her. " said Allan
Monroe let's them in and shuts the door "Let me guess you have a key like Nick's…"
"Had actually. The prince made me give it up telling me if I didn't he would make my family disappear." Said Kimberly
"The captain said that?" asked Monroe "I knew he shouldn't be trusted."
"No not the captain his brother. " said Kimberly. "At least the captain said the man was his brother when I told him what happened. "
"But if he has your key why is he still after you?" asked Monroe
"I don't think he wants me to tell anyone else what has happened. He sent two reapers after me. Dectective Burkhardt handled them though but we think the prince will come after me again so we need a place to stay. Can we stay here , Monroe. I can't go back to the asylum he'll find me there. Please? I promise I will not try to shoot you or anyone else." Said Kimberly
Monroe sighs "I may live to regret this but ok. My parents are staying here for a few days though."
A woman in her 60's with brown hair and brown eyes comes into the hall "Monroe dear, is everything all right?"
"Everything is fine, Mom. Some friends of mine stopped by for a visit. These are the Lawrences … My friend Allan, his wife and my friend Mary, and their daughter Kimberly." Said Monroe "Everyone this is my mother Dolores."
They gave the usual greetings and then all went into the living room. Monroe's father stood up surprised when they entered.
"Dad, these are my friends Allan. Mary, and Kimberly Lawrence… Everyone this is my father Remus. " said Monroe
The pleasant greetings started again but then Remus , Dolores, and Monroe wlogged Mary and Allan followed suit but Kimberly who hadn't seen a blutbad in a long time backed up in fear and had to sit down and breathe deeply to stop from hyperventilating. Monroe and her parents quickly changed back and rushed over to her "Are you all right, sweetie?" Mrs. Lawrence asked her
"I'm fine I just haven't seen any of you in a while. There were no wesen at the asylum… I said the right word ,right?" asked Kimberly
Monroe's parents change back " What does she mean she hasn't seen any of us in a while? Isn't she a blutbad?"
Monroe turns around suddenly remembering his parents were there "Actually no."
Remus looks curiously "Then what type of wesen is she?"
"Funny story, dad. She's not a wesen actually… she's…" he started
Allan and Mary look at Monroe both frightened and worried
"She's what?" asked Remus
"I'm a grimm. " said Kimberly standing up.
Remus and Dolores turn back into blutbaden "MONROE GET BEHIND ME! WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS HEARTLESS GRIMM AND HER SO CALLED FAMILY!" yelled Remus as he started to go towards Kimberly in defense of her Mary and Allan
Change into blutbaden too.
" OUR DAUGHTER IS NOT HEARTLESS! YOU'RE THE HEARTLESS ONES JUDGING HER JUST BECAUSE SHE'S DIFFERENT! YOU HURT OUR DAUGHTER OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!" said Allan and Mary together.
"THAT CAN BE ARRANGED!" yelled Dolores
"Everyone calm down there is no need to cause world war 3 here! " said Monroe
They ignore Monroe. "MONROE GET BEHIND ME!" said Remus
"No!" said Monroe
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO! SHE'S A GRIMM WE'RE BLUTBADEN SHE'S GOING TO KILL US UNLESS WE KILL HER FIRST!" yelled Remus
"Not all grimms are like that. My friend Nick is a grimm and he uses that ability to help people. The Lawrences are my friends and their daughter is a very nice, smart girl. She cares about others before herself. In fact, she gave up a key to save her family's lives. So, I'm sticking by them!" said Monroe
Remus and Dolores change back to normal "You're really friends with a grimm?" asked Dolores both alarmed and confused.
The door bell rings. "I'm going to see who that is. Please, don't kill each other while I'm gone." Said Monroe.
Monroe goes to open the door and Rosalee is standing there "Can you sneak away from your parents for an hour?" she asked
"Too be honest I'm too afraid just to be answering the door right now. " said Monroe
Rosalee looked at him confused as she comes in "What's going on?"
"Remember a few months ago when that girl shot me ?" asked Monroe
"Yea…Don't tell me she's here?" asked Rosalee
Monroe nods "With her parents and she just told my parents that she's a grimm."
Rosalee looks horrified "How are they taking it?" she asked
"Take a look for yourself" said Monroe leading into the living room.
When they are in the living room everyone is in the tense position that Monroe had left them in no one had moved an inch.
" Well at least everyone is still alive." Said Monroe
"NOT FOR LONG" said Remus
"TAKE ONE STEP NEAR MY DAUGHTER YOU WON'T HAVE A HEAD!" said Mr. Lawrence
Dolores looks over at Rosalee. "This your grimm friend, dear?" she said this momentarily breaking the tension in the pending fight.
"No, mom. This is my girlfriend Rosalee. " said Monroe
"The Fuschbau… I've been looking forward to meeting you, dear." Said Dolores changing back into a normal person.
Rosalee holds out her hand "It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Silas though I see I've come over at a bad time. " said Rosalee.
"Actually, this is a very good time you can help us deal with this grimm!" said Dolores
Monroe vlogs " I TOLD YOU NO ONE IS TOUCHING HER!"
Remus glares at it son " YOUR WAY OF LIFE WAS NEVER SOMETHING YOUR MOTHER AND I APPROVED OF BUT STANDING UP FOR A GRIMM THAT IS BLASPHEMIS! "
"YOU ARE JUDGING HER FOR WHAT SHE IS NOT WHO SHE IS! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN JUDGING US THAT WAY FOR YEARS AND WE ARE NOT LIKE THAT! " yelled Monroe "NOW BACK OFF!"
Remus and Dolores change back to normal and then Mary ,Allan, and Monroe change back too.
" Mom… Dad… maybe we should go." Said Kimberly
"Go where? Most people are going to act the same way my parents did when they find out you're a grimm. Unless you stay with Bud or someone who knows the truth and is ok with it but this is the safest place for you. Now, the Lawrences are in trouble so we are all going to have to learn to live together until all of this blows over. I'm sure Nick is trying his best to find this royal and bring him to justice." Said Monroe "Now everyone just sit down and relax." Said Monroe.
They all sit down.
Meanwhile, at the Portland Police station. The Captain is sitting at his desk making a phone call. Eric answers on the other end. "If you want to get a grimm you are going to have to try harder than sending two reapers to kill her."
"Don't tell me that Lawrence girl is just as resilent as your dectective Burkhardt. " said Eric
"O, she's not but he was here when she showed up. I mean did you really think she wouldn't run to the police first after being kidnapped?" asked the captain
"Actually, because the police sent her to an asylum I'd think she'd be afraid to go there and would just go to the asylum or leave town. " said the prince "I guess she isn't as frightened by her new situation as I believed. By the way are you any closer getting the key?"
"Unfortunately I am not." Said captain
"The family has been kind enough to give you extra time brother, use it wisely." Said Eric hanging up.
Eric dials his cell " I have an assignment for you. You know about that escaped lunatic? She's a grimm by the name of Kimberly Lawrence find her. Then just do your thing." Said Eric who hangs up.
Because there was not a whole lot of room the guests slept on sleeping bags on the floor of the attic guest room except for Monroe's parents who took the guest bed. A strange mist floats through the room and goes straight towards Kimberly. She breathes it in.
She suddenly sees Nick in a storage yard. He is about to open a storage crate when zombies start to come at him. He runs but ends up running into more zombies. He turns a corner but even more zombies. Nick ends up fighting a bunch off he gets away from the zombies but he suddenly falls into an underground cavern and as he looks around he sees coffins. He opens one and sees a passport with his picture on it. He turns around to look in the other and is confronted by a puffer fish wesen who shoots green goo in his face paralyzing him. Kimberly wakes up screaming.
Everyone wakes up and wlog when she sees all the wesen around her she screams again. Monroe comes upstairs.
"What's going on?" asked Monroe concerned
" Detective Burkhardt is dead." Said Kimberly
"What?!" yelled Monroe
"I had a dream that Nick was at a storage yard. There were zombies everywhere a and Nick got caught by a wesen puffy fish guy and he spit goo in Nick's face and killed him. I think Nick might be down at the storage yard. We have to go get him before it's too late." Said Kimberly
"Kimberly, it was just a dream. I'm sure Nick is fine. He can take care of himself if he gets into trouble and you don't have the fighting experience or experience with wesen he has so if he is in trouble you may get in trouble too. " said Monroe
"Monroe is right, dear. It was just a dream just try to go back to sleep." Said Mary
They all go back to sleep. Kimberly sneaks out of the room and goes out the window. She starts walking until she gets to the local storage yard by the time she gets there the sun is up. She walks around and tries to find the place where Nick fell. "Detective Burkhardt! Detective Burkhardt! Hello! You have to leave! Someone is after you! Detective Burkhardt! Detective… " Kimberly falls into the cavern. "Hello? Hello?"
Eric steps out of the shadows "Well, if it isn't the grimm who gave up everything for her wesen family."
"Where is detective Burkhardt! Where is Nick? Where is he?!" yelled Kimberly
"What makes you think he's here?" asked Eric
"Because I saw you and some puffer fish guy kill him." Said Kimberly
"I don't think the baron would appreciate being called some puffer fish guy but he's not here. And you silly little girl, actually believe your dreams. See this is why Vienna is better we have much more cultured children and much smarter as well. They don't get as easily influenced by their nightmares but you were right about one thing. A grimm is going to die today but it's not Burkhardt it's you." Said Eric
Suddenly the Baron jumps down and wlogs and then spits the goo into Kimberly's face paralyzing her.
