Crow with a Diamond eye: Kaz Brekker x Reader

Chapter 3: warm bread

Y/n woke to the sun shining on her face through the window. She begrudgingly swung her legs from the bed and stood up. She walked over to the window. At night in Ketterdam the streets were covered in crooks, robbing, and stealing. But in the morning light Ketterdam shone with brilliance. She could see all the way to the financial district from her little room.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door.

"You better hurry up love, your already late!" Jessper called through the wood.

Y/n Fitted herself in a lose white bell sleeved shirt with a fitted blue waist coat over top and dark blue pants. She glanced over at her Kefta, draped over a chair in the corner. It was dry and clean, courtesy of Jessper. Wearing the kefta would be a risk, she knew, but... She swung open the door and stepped out into the hallway. The kefta would have to wait.

Y/n glanced around, it was only now that she realised, she had no Idea where Kaz's office even was. There were four doors in the hall, one was hers and one at each end of the corridor. She first went to the one on the left. It had been left slightly ajar and the smell of warm bread was wafting toward her. She pushed it open. Stairs led form where she was standing into the club. The over eager gamblers from last night were sitting around eating breakfast. Y/n had just begun to walk down the stairs toward the breakfast bar when hand grasped her shoulder. She turned to see a young woman looking down at her. The woman was tall, with lushes' brown hair the rolled down her back.

"I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but you really should go speak to Kaz first. I Nina by the way, a Heartrender just like you. Here I have some toffy in my pocket for emergencies." The Nina girl handed her a small pack of light brown candy. Y/n took it gratefully, she was starving.

"How do you know I'm a Heartrender?" She questioned. Nina smiled.

"Ah you see I was supposed to wake you up, but Jessper beat me to it. I saw your kefta on the chair. You're not the Grisha who made a person are you?" Y/n shook her head rapidly.

"N-no, that's impossible." She stuttered. Nina shook her head.

"Apparently not. A Heartrender in Ravka about your age was able to. Heard she was taken by the Dime Lions though. I bet Kaz would have loved to have her in his crew." Nina said as she led Y/n through the other door and up a new set of stairs.

"The Dime Lions?"

"Yeah, one of the gangs in the barrel, they have crumpled a bit since Pekka's demise." At this Y/n shivered.

"I have heard of the barrel, the worst place you can be in Ketterdam, you'll leave dead or broke or not at all." Nina laughed.

"Oh Y/n your already in the barrel. Welcome to the crow club, and Kaz's office. I'll leave you to it."
