Cursed

5 Feet

Trubel and Nick climbed the stairs of the rundown apartment building. They where currently looking for a young Hexenbiest that had been taking vengeance on some of her ex-lovers. They had traced her here. The Grimm walked side by side their eyes scanning the room numbers.

"So how long are you staying this time?" Nick asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't know, I guess until Meisner calls me with another assignment." Trubel replied, still scanning the doors.

"I don't get it, the uprising's over. Why do you still work for them?" Nick commented.

"I'm not needed as much as I was, but there are still Wesen threats that HW monitors." Trubel informed.

"Can't you just...stay?" Nick asked, quietly.

Trubel sighed.

"No Nick, HW still needs me." Trubel replied.

Trubel knew her last statement wasn't entirely true. HW didn't really need her, she could feasibly leave, and stay in Portland. But the Grimm didn't want to, so much had changed after she left Portland the first time. She was trying to move on, she loved Nick, but he had changed. Nick had moved on while Trubel was away, now she was trying to do the same. And besides she knew better then to ever let herself believe that he could love her back. He most likely loved Adalind, since Trubel knew they had been in a relationship right before Adalind had vanished with Diana 6 months ago, leaving Nick with Kelly

"Hey isn't this the room number the landlord gave us?" Trubel pointed to the door at the end of the hall.

Nick nodded.

They walked up to the door and Nick knocked loudly.

"Portland PD, open up." Nick yelled.

Nick yelled several more times but no answer. Trubel stepped back to kick the door in but Nick stopped her.

"Hey, we need a reason." Nick said.

"Someone's yelling for help." Trubel answered.

Nick shrugged and Trubel slammed her foot into the door. The door burst open, throwing splintered wood into the air. The Hexenbiest that had occupied the room froze, she was behind a table cluttered with different ingredients and objects Trubel had never seen before.

"You're under arrest for..." Nick started.

The Hexenbiest woged before Nick could finished, then she swore as she realized they were both Grimms. Nick and Trubel moved closer and in a panic the Hexenbiest grabbed a pot of murky liquid and slung it in the direction of the Grimms. They tried to dodge it but both got splattered with the thick, dark substance. As they frantically tried to wipe it off, the Hexenbiest grabbed a book of the table, she clumsily turned the pages then uttered a phrase in a language that Trubel didn't understand. Trubel let out a yell as the liquid seeped into her skin with a searing pain.

She glanced at Nick, the same thing was happening to him. Then all at once it stopped.

"What..." The Hexenbiest muttered.

Trubel assumed since both her and Nick where still standing, her spell hadn't had the intended affect. Giving up the magical approach, she retracted and swiped a knife off the kitchen table. The Hexenbiest raised the knife and charged for Nick. Trubel reacted first and kicked the knife from her hand, the Hexenbiest turned to Trubel and lunged at her, knocking her to the ground. She landed on top of the Grimm and woged, then a shot echoed through the room and the Hexenbiest fell to the side. Trubel shoved her off as Nick put his gun back in his holster and offered Trubel a hand.
