I'm a what? Grimm?

Chapter 1

You have no idea what is happening to you or if you're going crazy. You were just attacked by a man thats face changed into some kind of monster. You managed to get away but you're freaking out. You look up when you accidently run into some one. Its a woman. Suddenly her face changes and she looks like a monster too but different from the man. You scream and start running away from her.

When you finally make it home you are very frightened and don't feel safe. There is only one person in the entire world that can always make you feel safe: Monroe. You know he lives in Portland. You pack a bag and get in your mini Cooper and take off to Portland.

You pull up in front of Monroe's house and breath a sigh of relief. You grab your bag and knock on the door. You know its really late so you hope you didn't wake him up. The door swings open with Monroe saying "I swear to God nick if..." he trails off when he sees you. He blinks in shock. You give him a sheepish smile and say "Hey Roe." "Jean?" You nod "Yeah thats me." "What are you doing here?" "Um, do you think I could tell you inside?" He blinks "Oh yeah of course." You follow him in and he shuts the door.

You look around and smile. This place looks like it matches Monroe. "So as good as it is to see you why are you here this late at night without a heads up?" You sigh and turn around to look at Monroe. "I needed somewhere to feel safe. You always make me feel safe." "Are you in trouble?" "I'm not sure but I haven't done anything wrong." Monroe sits on the couch and motions for you to sit next to him so you do. "What happened?" You sigh and hug yourself. "I was attacked." "What are you okay?" "I don't know. Physically I'm fine but..." "But what?" "But I think im going crazy." "Why do you think you're going crazy?""When the man was attacking me his face morphed into some kind of monster. I got away freaking out thinking I was so scared my imagination created it. Then I ran straight into a woman and her face changed into a different looking monster. I screamed and ran away. I didn't feel safe or sane anymore so I packed a bag and came here. I'm hoping being with someone who makes me feel safe will stop me from imaging people turning into monsters." "Oh man now you're one."

You look at Monroe confused. "What do you mean?" He sighs "You're not going crazy. You're just getting your Grimm abilities." "My what?" "Grimm abilities. You're a Grimm Jean." "What the hell is a Grimm and what does that have to do with me seeing people's faces change into monsters?" He sighs again. "A Grimm is someone with the ability to see Wesen when they woge into their animal halves. They are the Wesen equivalent of the boogeyman and develop the strength to fight and kill bad Wesen." "Wait what I saw is real? Those people actually turned into those monsters? And you're saying I'm supposed to fight and kill them?" "Not all Wesen are monsters. There are good and bad Wesen. Grimms like you deal with the bad ones. Most Wesen are just trying to live their lives." "Are you making this all up just to make me feel better about going crazy?" "No I'm not and you're not crazy." "I don't understand then how do you know all this. Are you a Grimm too?" "Uh, no I'm not a Grimm." "Then how do you know all this?" "Oh man this is hard. You're gonna hate me." "What? I could never hate you." He sighs "I know all this because I'm a Wesen a Blutbad to be exact." "Wait... no... are you saying you turn into one of those things too?" He sighs but nods. " No not possible I don't believe you." "Just please don't scream and don't be scared. I promise I'm still gonna be me and I'd never hurt you." "What are you talking about?" "I'm gonna show you." "Show me what?" "That you're not crazy." You just look at him and nod.

Your scream gets caught in your throat when Monroe turns into one of those animal monster things. You're looking at him terrified out of your mind. "Please don't be scared Jean. It's still me I promise and I'd never hurt you." That's Monroe's voice but its coming out of the werewolf looking thing in front of you. You try to calm yourself trying to slow down your racing heart. You take a shakey breath and let it out. "Is... is that really you Monroe?" He nods "Yes." You reach a shakey hand out and place it on his now furry face. You quickly pull your hand back. "Holy shit its real you really did turn into an animal. Oh man oh crap fuck fuck fuck." You keep shaking your head and letting out shakey breaths. "Its okay Jean I promise. Please try to calm down your heartbeat is too fast."

You look back at Monroe and his face isn't animal looking anymore. You take a few deep breaths and let them out. You reach your hand out and touch his face. It feels normal under your hand. You let out the breath you'd been holding and lower your hand. "Are you okay Jean?" "Im not sure. I just found out my safe person turns into Wolfman and scared the shit out of me. Can you...um.. can you not change infront of me for a little bit while I figure out how not to be scared out of my mind by your other half?" "Yeah. Yeah of course. I'll do whatever you need to help you not be scared." "Can you...." "Can I what?" "Can you hold me please?"

Monroe smiles softly at you and opens his arms. You jolt forward into them almost knocking the wind out of Monroe as you do so. You take a deep breath breathing in Monroe's smell and start to feel calm and safe again. You're squeezing Monroe very tightly as hard as you can. "Oof Jean not so tight you're stronger than you think now." You lessen your hold a little "How am I stronger?" "Part of your Grimm abilities." You nod your head still in Monroe's shoulder. You are still holding Monroe 10 minutes later. You're finally calm and you finally feel safe.

You finally release Monroe from your clinging hold. He slowly let's you go too. "You okay now?" "Well I'm calm and feel safe again if thats what you mean Roe." "Its a start. Its really late you need some rest ill show you to your room." You nod. You follow Monroe and enter your room. "You can stay as long as you like Jean. Get some rest ill see you in the morning." "Thanks Roe. Goodnight." He smiles softly at you and nods. "Goodnight."

You lay in bed for about an hour and you can't sleep. Eventhough you know you're safe in Monroe's house you don't feel safe enough to sleep. You sigh and get out of bed. You pad silently to Monroe's room. You open the door and peak your head in. Monroe is sleeping in his bed. You pad in silently. You walk over to his bed "Roe?" You whisper. No movement. "Roe?" You ask a little louder. Still no movement. You softly place your hand on his arm while saying at normal volume "Roe?" His eyes snap open and he grabs your wrist and his eyes turn red. You let out a startled sqeak.

He looks at you let's out a breath and his eyes turn back to chocolate brown. "Jean?" "Sorry I uh I..." "Whats wrong? What happened?" You let out a shakey sigh "I'm sorry I woke you up." "Its okay just tell me whats wrong." "I don't feel safe enough to sleep in my room alone. Its silly I know I'm perfectly safe just being in your house but I still don't feel safe. And I was hoping if I uh.. if I... uh... could...." You trail off. Monroe blinks then says "Of course you can sleep with me in my bed if it makes you feel safe." You let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Roe." He just shakes his head smiling and lifts the blankets on the other side of him "Climb in." You scurry around the bed and dive into the bed. You quickly rearrange the covers over you. Monroe turns his head to look at you still laying on his back "Think you can sleep now?" You shrug. You're facing him laying on your side. "I can try." He nods. He closes his eyes. You do too.

15 minutes later you're still awake and don't understand why. You sigh Wait yes you do. For some reason not even being in the same bed as him makes you feel safe enough to sleep. "Roe?" He makes a sound of acknowledgement. "Can you hold me? I still don't feel safe enough to sleep. I think I need to be touching you to sleep." Monroe doesn't verbally answer just lifts the arm closest to you. You snuggle up into him. You have your head on his shoulder and your arm across his chest while his arm is wrapped around you. You let out a deep breath and close your eyes.
