Bandits and the Swordsman

The Lure

Y/N POV
I woke up with a pain in my side, it's been a while, I don't climb trees for a reason. I started looking around and I saw Raven next to me sleeping. Now I didn't hear or see her come in, must've snuck in while I was sleeping. I grabbed my clothes and started putting them on, I heard the bed move to see Raven was waking up
Raven: hey babe, how'd you sleeping
Me: not to bad
Raven: I hope you don't mind that I snuck in to see ya
Me: you alright
Raven: I'm fine
She fell out of the bed and I heard a glass fall, I looked over to see an empty bottle of Vodka.
Me: Jesus Raven, come on, let's get you up
I picked her up and knocked on Vernal's door
Vernal: bout time you're up
Me: we need to get going, will you be able to cover Raven and I if there's a Grimm Attack?
Vernal: you can count on me
Me: good, now let's get the hell out of here
I carried her through the lobby and outside to head off into the woods.
Vernal: no breakfast?
Me: catch a frog or something
Vernal: oh Y/N, what a kind and generous soul you are
Me: real nice.....wait....someone to our right....OUT NOW!
Some lady came out from behind a tree
????: are you the white knight?
Me: yeah, who the hell are you?
???: I'm Amy, I'm looking for my son, can you help me find him?
Anthea POV
Salem: where is she?
Me: I'm sorry mistress, I had to use her one last time, I just hope she doesn't screw everything up
Salem: she's asking him about her son, was that apart of your plan?
Me: oh you've gotta be kidding me....isn't he on some remote island with Merlot?
Salem: that's correct
Me: well....ain't that something, is she leading him back here?
Salem: seems that way
????: SALEM!
I saw Salem look up in the hologram, I saw a drop of sweat come from her forehead
Salem: I'll be back in a few, have her here
?????: I heard you needed a Grim Reaper
The hologram ended, leaving me with my babies.
Y/N POV
We continued following this Amy woman, she offered us some food so that could get Vernal off my ass for a bit. We saw her house, it looked like something out of a shantytown, broken windows, rotted wood, it's like the finished design of Monster House...but lack of monster.
Amy: it's not much, but it's home, put your friend there, she needs rest
Me: helluva time for her to start drinking.
Amy: get comfortable
From behind I heard the sound of wind escaping, a long black object blocked the doorC in the darkness, two orange eyes glowed, staring right at me.
Me: you tricked us!
Amy: I'm sorry....I had to
Anthea: very good Amy, now go back to Salem, she wants you
Amy: yes
Me: this is low even for you Anthea!
Anthea: you left me! I'm pretty sure that was low for you Y/N....but Salem....she saved me, she made me see what type of person I needed to be to make it far in this life
Me: Vernal, wake Raven, and you keep your damn pets back, this is between you and me Anthea, you shot those kids
Anthea: and who forced women into beds
Me: that was Jerry, You're losing it Anthea, come with me and I can get you help
Anthea: I don't need your help, not when I have my babies
The Thunderjaw started to stand, breaking some of the House
Me: how the hell did you get these things in here?
Anthea: well there's something you don't know for your Grimm studies, Thunderjaws can dig, they burrow sometimes, but enough talk, I'm here to get my revenge on you.
Me: I'd like to see you try
