The Wolf Among Us: Another Story (RP)

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Anna sighed happily. She knew Peter was great with kids. She was too, she just felt Little Red would be best with someone closer to her age right now. "Thank you so much Peter. Let me know when Little Red wakes up and I'll go over there and play with you both." she turned to Bigby and Maleficent, inwardly pouting at her attitude. She didn't dislike Maleficent of anything, but her rudeness sometimes really got her upset. "Hey, this is to make sure we don't get caught, y'know. The world can't find out about us...""That's because it only takes a second for everyone to know that crap just happened." he crossed his arms and tossed the class in the garbage. "Let's not meddle with whatever happened... the last thing we need is dirt on us." he bent down to fix up his old boots. "Jeez, I need to get some new working boots. Looks like I just came right from some dumpster."

Little Red opened her eyes, and looked at the sky. She stretched her hand. "Grass. I'm laying on grass?" She sat up. 

"The smell, is gone!" she whispered. Little Red looked around. "I'm in a park?"  She turned to her side. "P-Peter?" she said.

"Where's Anna? And the Sheriff? Why are we in park?" she whispered. Little Red then remembered the torn body of a mundy, and the blood.

She shook her head. 

She tugged on Peter's sleeve to let him know that she was awake now.

[echo 69]

Peter looked down toward the source of tugging an grinned, "Hey welcome back to the land of the living." He turned and crossed his legs applesauce style to give her his full attention. He always had sympathy for Little Red as he was able to better connect with her problems then those of the older fables. "Your passing out back there got everyone worried so I was told to keep you here and away from uh... all that."

[Killua0707 194]

" I'm pretty sure I worried Anna the most." she laughed a bit. 

"So I'm guessing Maleficent is with Anna and the Sheriff... while you have to stay with me. How nice." she said and looked at him with a smile.

 

Peter Pan was the only one, besides Anna, who Little Red could tell almost everything. And she was very close to his age too. 

So she didn't have to hang all the time with older fables, because she had Peter. 

[Zachy1993 65]

Bigby lit a cigarette, a Huff n' Puff of course...same that was found near the body. He took a drag and sighed, "Yeah yeah...I know the drill....so what do you need in return? And Anna's right, this is for the best....though it is....odd." Bigby frowned.

 

"My brand of cigarettes were found near the body...and Anna said it was like she was torn apart by a hungry animal....she said a wolf was what came to her mind. I know I didn't do it...I couldn't have...Colin was with me and I was with Anna at her shop and then Red's house. Still....I can't shake the feeling that there's something going on....besides the fact that a mundy was found so close to our town." 

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

"I have nothing I need now." Maleficent replied to Bigby, with the wave of a hand. "You would simply owe me a favor, like my old friend Rumplestiltskin would have it."

The Witch stepped around the body, studying the scene. She showed no aversion to the gore around, and seemed to be looking at the body like a art connoisseur scrutinizing a painting.

"So, someone wanted you to take the blame." She commented.

She then leveled her eyes on the sheriff.

"Which you will, until the true culprit is caught."

Maleficent snorted.

"Perhaps not even then. Funny how people save they believe you've changed, yet still keep a list of your past."

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Anna frowned as she listened to what Maleficent had to say. She was right in that point. The fact that Bigby's cigarettes were there made it even worse. It probably won't be long before quite a few people instantly accuse him for the murder. "There has to be something we could do...." she rubbed the back of her head.

 

{Do you guys mind if I do a timeskip in a sec?}

[Zachy1993 65]

(Don't mind at all) Bigby sighed as he took a drag on the Huff n' Puff he had lit. "Go ahead and do it Mal. And so long as you're not as nasty about the favors you ask about as Rumple....I'll be willing."

[echo 69]

(I dont mind)

"Pretty much, we wouldn't be much help over there anyways." Peter says with a shrug. "You feeling better?" He wants to watch her closely for any signs that she would faint again. He stood up and brushed the grass from his perpetually dirty pants.

"Yeah... I feel better." She stood up slowly, sighted, and stretched her arms. "See? I'm fine now." she said with a smile.

"What now?" she asked him. Little Red was sure that Peter would get bored right away if they played in the playground. 

So she wondered what to do. "I know! How about we take a walk around town?"  she stood in front of Peter.

"Cause I know you will get pretty bored if we stay here." 

"I know you were told to bring me here, but I would get bored too."

 

(btw.. I don't mind either)

Terrance just finished fixing up another lady's heel. This was most of the business he did nowadays. It wasn't really a bother to him especially because it was the only honest skill he had. Terrance sighed looking at the work he had done. No tricks involved wouldn't want anyone complaining or being run out of business by own skill. He knew the contents of his wallet were less than they once were but it was stable. Terrance left the story putting down the high heeled shoes to the cubby hole labelled with the ticket that he gave the woman. Pulled out a cigarette from the pack in his back pocket. He lit it up and drew a breathe of smoke. Only one puff appeared now, he was alone. It was a good neighborhood unlike where he used to work. (Sorry for the late intro I kinda was busy with things)

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Maleficent grinned at Bigby.

"No promises, my dear Wolf." She said as she walked to the middle of the murder scene.

This would cost her, but she would gain a small hold on Bigby. With what she had in mind, that's all she needed. She held out her walking stick in front of her and closed her eyes. Green flame ran down the stick and poured onto the ground.

"If you care for your eyes and eyebrows, I would suggest you back up and shield your eyes."

Giving only a few seconds for the others to comply with her warnings, Maleficent let lose with her flames, burning and consuming the body and blood. This was the first time since coming to the mundy world that she had let lose with her powers. And it felt glorious. Cackling laughter could be heard in the green flames as it consumed the evidence and seemed to be a spreading uncontrollably. But all at once, the flames were gone, leaving Maleficent looking tired and the body and blood gone. Using her walking stick to keep her up, the Witch shuffled out of the burned out clearing.

"Bargain sealed." She murmured.

Dangerous words for a magic user to utter.

 

(Okay, I'm ready for a time warp, boss.)

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

{I decided not to do a time skip. I don't want to throw anyone off.}Suddenly, there was a sound of the bushes rustling once more, follwed by a  twig snapping in the bushes like earlier. Then nothing, as if the person inside the bushes was frozen.Anna's eyes widened. If it was the killer, which it probably was, then it could strike at any moment. "B-Bigby..." she whispered., looking right into the bushes next to them. This day was just going perfect. A mundy woman being killed, right on their turf. If the mundies ever found out about them, she had no idea what she would do. She's probably be kidnapped by the government and experimented on. Maybe they would just kill her and everyone in the town right away out of fear.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

(*goggles on, cringing for impending warp. Nothing happens. Opens eyes a little. Opens eyes a lot. Pulls up goggles.* ah, man. I was all ready for it. Heh)

 

Maleficent, inwardly rolling her eyes, turned back to the rustling sound. She had barely anything left, like she was suppose to. She might could manage something defensive for herself, but she wasn't sure how much it would last. If anything jumped out, it would have to be someone else's problem.

[Stardustblade358 806]

The song "Hush,Hush,Hush,here comes the boogyeman" by Henry Hall was being played by an old collector's record. Red. That was the color that covered the wooden floor. As Zuri stood tall Alice lay dead,facing up as her expression of fear was frozen in time. Her golden hair had been tainted with her own blood,her blue dress mixed with the red made it look like a dark purple. She had at least 7 stab wounds all over her torso. The killing point most definitely the heart,where it pierced right through. In Zuri's glove covered hand was a bloodied sharp icecle that he had prepared and molded in the freezer from a plastic model and lots of luck. He had put a lot of thought into this,and now it was reality. Alice was dead. She would be the first of many. He couldn't believe that he had actually done it. A small smirk spread across his face. He stared down at the icecle as it started to melt in his hand. He quickly threw it in the fireplace,and in moments it was gone. He was mad,but he was smart,maybe smart enough to get away with murder. The murder weapon was gone far from being retrieved,and now he needed to...bring such matters into light. He opened a window from the kitchen and used some spare shoes to make traces of blood from her body to the window. "Fufufu."Zuri muttered as he threw the bloody shoes into the firepit as well,watching the evidence burn as he laced on some new shoes. He cleared his throat,he had to prepare his beginning act,and he had to be good for the sake of it being real or at least close to real. He picked up the phone,dialing calmly as he knelt down in front of his dead wife. "Fableland police department how may I help you?" He floored it. He started to cry loudly as he quickly produced tears. "Please send help! My wife's not breathing! There's blood everywhere I don't know what to do,Alice,Alice wake up!"Zuri cries as genuine tears fell down his face. Damn he was good,he admitted to himself. He coughed as he smirked to himself. "Alice my love,wake up!!!" If he didn't knew better he'd believe himself.

[echo 69]

 "Sure!" He held out his arm like a gentleman in a joking manner to Little Red. " Shall we?" He winked and grinned at the girl. On the inside he just hoped none of what had happened would be the topic of discussion in town.  The last thing Red needed was to be thinking about what had caused her blackout to begin with.

[Killua0707 194]

Little Red blushed just a bit. She giggled. "Please." she said as she wrapped her arm around his, although she was also joking around.

They walked to town and just talked about the stupidest stuff they could come up with, like they always did.

 

They then saw a couple of officers rushing through. "Geez, I wonder what's the rushing for." she said to Peter

 

She noticed another strange thing. "H-Hey, Peter. Is it just me, or do I smell something burned?"  She started to look around to find the source of the smell.

[Stray Reaper 143]

Terrance's body instantly recoiled and tried to disappear the moment he saw cops pass by his store. "Oh right I am on the straight and narrow now"  he whispered as he stepped out his fallen smoke then threw away the remains. Terrance straightened his clothes and then his body. His face regained the appearance of a shopkeeper: welcoming and friendly. The coppers seemed to be in a hurry to the crime. Terrance couldn't resist the temptation of finding out what happened and if there was a profit to it. He hadn't lost one bit of skill when it came to tailing.

[Zachy1993 65]

Bigby glared into the brush that had rustled, "Alright...come on out! Don't make me come in there and get rough with you!" He growled as he stomped out his cigarette on the ground. He felt his phone vibrate with his pager, he picked it out of his strap...it was the address of a Zuri who had made a call to Fableland police dept. about his wife...Alice, who had been attacked, stabbed multiple times.

 

Bigby sighed and ran a hand over his face, "Day just keeps getting better..."

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

There was a soft sigh in the bushes. Out of the bushes came out a little mundy boy, only twelve years old. He wore a black stripped sweater that was way bigger than him, despite the hot weather. He wore green shorts, and black sandals. His face looked to be dry with tears, and his brown eyes were cloudy in contrast to his rich chestnut hair. He held a pencil and notepad in hand. In it, he wrote down a few words, and turned it around to show Bigby. 'You burned my mom...' the tears almost welled up in his face. He seemed unfazed completely at the fact that she was burned with magical flames.

[echo 69]

Peter watched the cops then sniffed the air wrinkling his nose right away. "Yeah it smells awful. Coming from the direction the police are going." He turned his body towards the commotion in curiosity. Then he remembered who he was with and turned back around. "Lets avoid all that, its the last thing you need to be worried about trust me. Lets buy some sodas or somethin." He led her int he opposite direction and towards a small grocery store.

 

Rafael looked out the window as the police ran by. "Whole town is going to shit all of a sudden." He murmured while leaning his head further out. Don't have a clue of what that one could be. He looked at Coyote, "You happen  to know anything?"

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

{Hey guys, I'm thinking of letting you guys add KH characters if you want. I figure since this is KH13 and since we're all KH fans why not as a little joke. What do you guys thing? I just thought it'd be hilarious to see Riku bag groceries or Sora working as a pizza delivery boy or something.}Coyote shrugged. "Well, it could be of that dead mundy chick... other than that I dunno." he sighed and started to trot towards the back. "Either way, I'm not in the mood for the drama. It doesn't shock me this town went to shit. The sheriff is a trap for this kind of stuff. You shoulda seen him in New York." he began to move around some of the heavy boxes in the back. "Hell, maybe I should go for a run tonight. Maybe hunt. What do you think, wanna join me? Hell, it'd be funny seeing a coyote and a tabby cat together." he snickered at the thought. "House cat."

[Stardustblade358 806]

Sake and Mary had taken it upon themselves to clean up Anna's shop and lock it up for the day,turning the sign to 'Sorry,we're closed!'. "I don't like doing work for free!"Complained Sake. "She's our neighbor and friend the least we could do is help her out. She's been gone for a long time after all."Mary said. "Speaking of which where is everybody?"Sake asked as she turned around. There were cop cars racing down the street. The scent of fire or atleast something burning was floating around the air. "What the hell happened while we were cleaning?"Sake asked. Mary searched in her pocket and took out a compactor. "Mary this isn't the time to check on your make up."Sake hissed. "I'm not checking on my make up."Mary said. "Mirror mirror on the wall,show me who's the lonliest of them all."Mary chanted as the mirror in the compacter started to show her images of her friends and allies. Murder,blood,mundies,even a dead Alice and Zuri crying over the body. Sake's eyes widened. "Holy f*ck did the apocalypse like happened and we didn't noticed for sh*t?"Sake asked. "I knew it! The mirror breaking was a bad omen! It will only get worse from here on,I know it!"Mary said as she closed her compactor and got it back in her pocket. "Oi oi where are you going? We have to help Anna or Red or go to Zuri and see what the hell happened to his wife?!"Sake asked as Mary headed back into her own store. Mary quickly took out a bunch of incense and settled them all over the store,setting fire on them so the scent of them could cover the entire shop. "The incense repels bad omens and bad luck!"Mary said as she quickly got a horse shoe and hung it on an empty space. She then proceeded to get a necklace made out of four leaf clovers around Sake's neck before she went ahead and started to burn sage,waving the smoke of it all around the house. "Evil omens and bad intentions go away!"Mary chanted. Sake stared down at the necklace and then back at her supersticious friend. "Mary,if anything you're the one that's going nuts. How is any of this going to work?!"Sake asked. "I'm just trying to help the only way I know how for the moment ok?!"Mary said. "F*ck it,butt f*ck it,I'm going to go ahead and run over to Zuri's,I need to know what the bloody hell is going on."Sake said as she ran off. "Don't forget to throw salt from your LEFT shoulder!"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Maleficent raised an eyebrow as the boy came out of the bushes. How had he survived her flames? And how did Bigby's nose miss him? All this, and a possible pictsy sighting. This day was turning out very eventful indeed.

"Do you have a name, boy?" She asked, her voice oddly soothing.

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

The boy written down in the notepad once more as he flipped a page. He hesitantly showed it to the witch. 'Benjamin...' it was written. 'You burned me a little bit too...' he showed his arms; his sleeves were rolled up to reveal fresh burnt marks on his wrist and forearms. It had a slightly green hue, evident of it's magical properties.Anna felt terrible at this boy. He was Little Red's age and not only did they just destroy the corpse of his mother, they also burnt him. At least it wasn't bad enough to put him in a hospital. "I'm so sorry!"
