Royal Grimm

1x01: Sight

The wolf thought to himself, what a tender young creature. What a nice plump mouthful... - Little Red Riding Hood

The world is a complex and intriguing place. Everyone needs to grow up and find their place among others. For most this is a normal part of life, for others this is... the harder part of life. Among normal people live creatures, creatures that we cannot usually see. Then there are even rarer people, who can see these creatures for what they are when we can't. They are called Grimms. Then there are also royal families who try to take control over the creatures, or wesen, all over the world. Austria, France, Egypt, Iraq, Mexico, Japan and Thailand. This story focuses on a princess from France. The princess is the daughter of a prince and a Grimm. They live in a heavily guarded palace hidden far away in South France. The royal house of Charonne, views them as outcasts since a Grimm and a royal is an illegal bond and frowned upon.

"Papa, regarde mon dessin! Aimez-vous?" The little girl said while holding up the picture she just drew, showing the drawing she made of her family. The man walked over and smiled, "Oui mon ange, c'est magnifique!" He grabbed her and she started giggling loudly. He walked over to her bedroom and placed her on the bed, while putting her drawing on her wall. "L'art mérite une bonne place sur le mur, surtout le vôtre."

The man tucked her in and gave her a goodnight kiss before turning off the lights and going downstairs, smiling when he heard his daughter yelling good night. He then saw his wife lounging on the sofa and lifted her legs up so he can sit next to her. She looked up and smiles, "she really loves drawing us, huh?" The man laughed, "Oui, it's part of your genes bien sûr."

She looked up at him with a serious face, "she's 9 years old, if she does have my genes it's only a matter of weeks before she sees her first wesen Albert." He sighed and looked at his wife, "I know. Maybe we should show her your friend, mon cœur... what was he again?"

She snorted before answering, "He's a Luisant-Pêcheur, which is not a bad first start but I'm not sure if that's a good one either. She does love regular otters though." She stood up and headed over to their bedroom, and Albert followed.

"Wait, Julia." He grabbed her arms and looked her in the eyes. "Nothing would be a good start to wesen. But if we can make it as easy as possible for her, we should. She is the reason why we are here, she's the proof that our love as a royal and Grimm works." She just sighed and nodded before hugging him in comfort. He continued, "We need to raise Aurelia the best we can and keep her from the corrupt world that's my family, she's our biggest treasure"

"Until we get DNA results, I'll run a database on violent predators in the area." Nick said to his partner while entering the precinct after returning from the murder scene in the forest. "Better search beyond the metro." Hank replied and Nick nodded, "Absolutely. We should also take another look at that Munson Creek Falls attack." Nick sat down at his desk while Hank held up the evidence in his hand, "You'll be busy. I'll take the iPod down for prints. Back in a minute."

Nick started on his research before getting interrupted, "Burkhardt, do you have a moment?" He looked up and saw the captain behind him with a young girl, barely 20 years old. He followed the captain and the girl to the office. "Nick, this is Aurelia Dupont. She's a college student and an intern at this precinct for a year, she will be joining you and Hank. I asked Holtby and Bauer, but they said they don't want her to be in the way. I trust you with this one, Nick."

"Sure. It's nice to meet you, Aurelia." Nick said while extending his hand and she took it elegantly. "Likewise, detective. I hope I'm not a bother for you and your partner." Nick shook his head, "As long as you stay in your own lane there's nothing I worry about. Come on, let's meet detective Griffin." Nick opened the door to the office and Aurelia quickly looked at the captain with a grateful smile before following.
