You smile as you hear Monroe your cute neighbour start to play his cello. He plays it most nights and you love it. Monroe is the kindest, nicest, and sweetest man you've ever met. Plus hes so freaking cute and adorable you can't help that you've gotten yourself a huge crush on him.

When Monroe finishes playing you sigh. You could listen to him play so much longer. You have this strange feeling and you look outside your window and spot someone creeping near Monroe's house. You quickly grab your pepper spray and flashlight.

As you round the house Monroe comes flying through his window and tackles the man. Your breathing speeds up and your eyes widen at what you see. Monroe's face isn't human looking and it scares you. When the animal look on his face disappears and you see same old cute Monroe you blink. Then it hits you he just jumped through a window.

"Monroe!" You quickly rush the few steps up to him and start checking for cuts. "Are you okay you just went through a window?!" When you find no cuts you finally look up at Monroe's face and he is looking at you shocked. "Monroe answer me please are you okay?" "Yes. You saw me." "Yeah I saw you fly through a window." "No you saw me." The way he says it makes you think to the animal creature he looked at first. "I don't know what I saw besides you jumping through window to tackle somebody. Speaking of which. " You turn around and your eyes widen as you recognize the man standing in front of you.

"Nick? What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here Jean?" "I live next door and I saw somebody creeping around Monroe's yard and I was gonna pepper spray them. Now you." "Thats hard to explain." "Try me." "I'm investigating a hunch." You raise an eyebrow "what kind of hunch? Is it one of your case hunches?" "Yes." "Then why the hell are you here Monroe is like the most harmless guy I know he couldn't hurt a fly?" Monroe makes a kind of sigh behind you. "You both better come inside and we'll talk. I need a beer."

You follow Monroe and Nick into Monroe's house. You stay silent as they talk. Okay Nick saw the animal creature Monroe became too. Monroe explains what he is, is a blutbad. Basically like the fictionalized big bad wolf. And apparently Nick is something called a Grimm because he can see the creature side and inherited the gift from his dying aunt. So where does that leave you? You don't have any family you were raised in the foster system. Finally you notice both men have stopped talking and are looking at you.

"What?" Monroe sighs and says "We asked who in your family died is or dying?" "I don't have any family. I was raised in the foster system until I aged out at 18. And why did you ask about family dying?" Monroe looks at you then at Nick then back at you and sighs again. "You're  a Grimm Jean just like Nick. One or both of your parents must have been Grimms." "What do mean im a Grimm?" "Only Grimms and other Wesen can see our other forms and you saw mine." "Wesen?" "What we're called in general." "But I'm not sure what I saw I think I hallucinated." Monroe sighs again and says "Just please don't scream." "What?" "Dont scream please." You just nod insure why Monroe just told you not to scream.

Your breathing and heart rate pick up the second Monroe changes. Now you're scared again. He takes a step towards you and you take a step back terrified. Monroe changes back human looking hurt. That hurts your heart you don't want to hurt him. You take the few steps to stand directly in front of him. You place your hand on his chest and ask "Can you change again please?" He looks at you confused. "Please?" He just swallows and his face changes again. This time with your hand still on his chest you look at him and aren't scared. You're  actually intrigued. You study his face while his eyes watch you wearily.

"You can change back now. And thank you." Monroe changes back and looks at you unsure. "I didn't mean to be terrified of you its just that my brain hadn't processed that it was you yet. I know you would never hurt me Monroe." He looks at you in awe. You smile at him. Finally he smiles back. You hear a throat clear behind you.
