The Grimm Huntress

Round One Pt. 1

Lightning flashed across the sky and the sound of thunder made her shake. She stood there in the lavender field with a man who seemed to be the cause of the storm.

The man stood in the field with her calmly and even though he was facing the other way, Eclipse knew they were practically identical.

The same rounded face, dimples, and onyx eyes. Their spiral curly hair blew in the strong wind. She knew their differences too.

The dark circles under her eyes did not match the light bags under his. While her hair reached her waist his was short and was styled in an undercut. Heterochromia wasn't mirrored.

Her hands shook at the sight of him at the sight of the field and the sound of the storm. Whether it was anger or fear wasn't clear.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head he turned to look at the shaking noirette.

"Hello again ____." He greeted with a comforting smile.

Comforting for anyone but Eclipse.

"What do you want?" She glared.

"I just want you to come home." He told her. "Please come back home ηγεμονίς."

"Never," Eclipse whispered. The storm suddenly got harsher before stopping completely. When the noirette looked up the man was gone and so was the lavender field.

"I wouldn't want you back home anyways." Eclipse turned to see a woman who's blue eyes were narrowed in disgust. "Who would want a monster in their home?"

Eclipse's breath hitched at the sight of the woman. The woman she had always loved and looked up to. Black cracks started to appear on her arms and a lion circled her following the short woman's movements.

"I'm not a monster."

"Then why do you look like that?"

Crack

"Why do you have those powers?"

Crack

"Why did we leave you?!"

Crack

"If you're not a monster then you'll be able to answer my questions." Eclipse looked as if she had ink dripping from her arms. "So tell me ____ why?"

"I don't know." Eclipse whispered her voice cracking for the first time since she was 15. "I don't know..."
Cracks started to appear on her face.

"Of course you don't."

The woman clicked her tongue and smiled as the lion pounced.

"Oh my- please tell me that there's not Red Bull in your coffee."

Weiss walked into the student break room. Blake and Eclipse were already sitting at the table both silent as they thought over their separate... problems.

"Of course not." Eclipse took another sip. "It's vodka."

"Wha-?!" Weiss snatched it from the coffee addict's hands. "How are you still alive..? Also how did you get vodka?!"

"While you guys may be underage, I'm 18." Eclipse reminded her. "Which is oddly the legal drinking age in Vale. Although even if I wasn't, I know a girl."

"Friend or ex girlfriend?" Blake asked.

"Uh- we weren't really dating it was more of a-" Eclipse cut herself off and the two girls raised their eyebrows. "Y'know we were friends. Yeah let's-let's leave it at that."
