Memories Series

2 A.M.

Nick's eyes snapped open as he heard what sounded like the front door opening. At first he dismissed it. It had been a couple weeks since he had found out Juliette was a Hexenbiest, and then she had left. He still sometimes dreamt about her and even thought he heard her in the house every now and then. 

Nick was about to roll over and go back to sleep when he heard the door close. That was definitely not his imagination, Nick sprang off the bed and to his feet. He crept down the stairs.

Nick looked around the dark room, it was empty. He walked to the door and checked it, it was locked. He then peeked out the windows to see if anybody was around, nothing. Maybe he was really imagining things. Nick shook his head and turned to go up the stairs. Then out if nowhere a figured blurred by and tackled him to the ground, he landed in the floor and slid a little. He was on in full freak out mode until he got a good look at the figure that knelt above him.

"Good thing I came back, you're getting rusty." Trubel teased.

"Trubel?" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, who else would be breaking into your house at..." She started, bring her wrist up to look at her watch.

"2 am." She finished.

"Oh sorry, excuse me, should've known Wesen would wait until 3 am." He said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes.

"And..." He began.

He swept her leg out from underneath her and they both rolled to the right.

"Not as rusty as you think." He smirked, now kneeling above her.

She winched in pain as she hit the floor.

"Hey, are you ok." His expression quickly changed to worry.

"I'm good." She replied.

Nick looked at her closer and for the first time, he noticed several small cuts and bruises on her face. There where larger ones on her forearms.

"No you're not." He stated.

"What the hell happened? Hundjagers?" He questioned.

"No." She sighed.

"The Hundjagers where easy, Josh was fine. So I decided to come back, I missed you. But when I reach the edge of town, I was jumped by some Reapers." She explained.

"But their dead, and nobody will ever find their bodies. So you don't have to worry about that." She added.

"I don't care about that, I care about you." He replied seriously.

They both where silent for several moments.

"Come on let's get you patched up." Nick spoke as he stood and took her hands, helping her to her feet.

Trubel sat on the coach as Nick closed up the first aid kit.

"Thanks." She said quietly.

"Don't mention it, I know you'd do the same for me." He replied.

She smiled.

"So you want me to help you get the guest bedroom ready?" He offered plopping down next to her.

"No, I'm probably just gonna stay down here for a while, I'm still kinda on edge and wired." She replied.

"You can go back to bed with Juliette, I'll be fine." She added reassuringly.

Pain flashed across Nicks face.

"What's wrong?" Trubel asked.

"Um...you're not gonna believe this but, Juliette left...because she a Hexenbiest." Nick explained.

"Wha...um...uh...how." Trubel stammered, shocked.

"Side effect of what we did, and she's completely different now. She blames all of us, and she hates me." Nick went on, the pain showing in his voice.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left." Trubel spoke quietly, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"It's ok, you did the right thing. You're here now and that really helps." He answered.

Trubel pulled him into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him, and he held her. They let the hug linger before they both pulled away.

"So, what do you want to do?" He asked in a happier tone.

"I'm probably just gonna watch some TV. You should sleep, you deserve some rest." She stated, looking him in the eyes.

"Yeah no, I wasn't really going to be able to sleep anyway. And you just got back, I want to spend some time with you." He answered, a smile forming on his lips.

"Ok." Trubel agreed, smiling back.

Nick and Trubel sat curled up next to each other on the couch. They were huddled under a blanket and one of their favorite movies played on the TV. Trubel was fast asleep, laying on Nicks shoulder. Nick's eye lids where heavy as he began to doze. He sipped his arm around Trubel and scooted closer to her. He leaned his head back on the couch and let himself fall into a deep sleep. And for the first time in a long time, he didn't dream about Juliette. He dreamed about someone else.

_________________________________________________________________________

Juliette walked down the street towards her old house. She didn't know why she had even come, she didn't know why she did much of anything these days. It was like she was no longer in control, something much deeper and darker now called the shots. As she came closer she noticed the lights where still on. She quickened her pace and when she got close enough she peeked through one of the windows.

Nick was curled up on the couch and next to him was Trubel. They were both asleep and in each other's arms. Juliette felt rage flare inside her, and she wasn't quite sure why. She angrily woged and growled quietly. From that moment on she knew she would kill both Grimms, but she'd make them suffer first. Juliette spun on her heel and briskly walked away, she had much to do.
