Mr & Mrs. Wolf

Chapter One

It's night time in the small city of Fable Town. A yellow taxi pulls up to the Tenement Building located in the South Bronx of Fable Town, and two people step out of the taxi, one a man and the other a women. The taxi drives away leaving the two in front of the apartment building, the woman holds up a small piece of paper with an address on it as the man lights a cigarette. The couple walk into the building and open the creaky, boarded doors. leaning on the staircase is Mr. Toad, looking up the staircase. 

"Mr. Toad..." the man says annoyance laced in his voice finding the fable without a glamour. 

"shit" Mr. Toad whispers to himself, he turns around to face the two as they walk towards him. 

"Bigby! (Y/N)! Listen, mates, I know I don't look human. It's a problem, I get it, I just stepped out of the apartment for a second to see what kind of damage this drunk shit is doing." He looks up at them longing for so sympathy "Just cut a break, yeah? I'll get me glamour first thing in the morning. Cross my heart. No need to kick up a fuss"

"Look, no harm done... We'll give you a pass but listen... if you can't afford to look human, you're going to The Farm. It's as simple as that." (Y/N) says crossing her arms over her chest, her wedding band shines from the light inside the building. Mr. Toad looks at the two with sad eyes. 

"You can't send me up there to live with those animals..." he pleads, Bigby and (Y/N) look at Mr Toad with a raised eyebrow and small smirk, "you know what I mean."

"Go see a witch. Get a glamour" Bigby says pointing his cigarette at Mr. Toad. 

"Bigby, they're bleedin' me dry, mate. The quality of the spell goes down, but the rates keep climbing up. Do you have any idea how much it cost to have an entire family in glamour?" Mr. Toad says trying to sympathies with the two. 

"Get it fixed. It's not complicated, Toad. Whatever it costs, it's worth it." (Y/N) says uncrossing her arms, she shifts her weight on to one leg popping her hip out.

"You don't want us catching you out of glamour again," Bigby says taking a hit out of his cigarette. Just then an object goes flying through a window on the floor above and comes crashing to the ground outside. Toad grabs his head in frustration 

"Fuckin' hell" he says "See? This want I called you two about. Are you just going to stand there? Do something, Bigby, (Y/N), can at least one of you deal with this drunk before he completely tears up the place"

Bigby tips his cigarette to the side and shakes of some ash, (Y/N) looks towards her husband waiting for him to do something. "Oh... Thanks for that, Bigby. You're a real gentleman." A loud bang is heard from upstairs and the roof shakes, debris fall to the floor. "This is the last straw, Bigby, (Y/N). He has to go!" Toad says in annoyance.

Bigby through his cigarette to the side and grabbed his wife's hand, "fine. We're heading up." The couple begins to walk up the stairs when (Y/N) says "get your glamour". Behind them, Toad whispers to himself, "furry pricked gobshites... tell me how to spend my money..." He spits on to the wood of the staircase and puts his hands in his pockets. 

The voice of a young child is heard "Dad? The lights are shaking again." To the side, a small head pops out from the side of an open door. Toad turns to his son "What'd I say? You want the Big Bad Wolves to take you away?" His son cowers behind the door frame, "no" he says. 

"Then get the fuck back inside," Toad says walking towards his apartment.

Upstairs, Bigby and (Y/N) advance towards the apartment with loud shouts coming from inside. "... you're gonna know who I fuckin' am. You hear me? Hey! Look at me!" A male voice shouts towards someone, the person who is being yelled at is trying to calm the drunk down, "just stop, okay? You're drunk! Let go." 

Bigby lets go of his wife had and dropped to the ground picking up a box of matches, "really? Come on, Bigby, we don't have all night" (Y/N) tells him. Bigby looks towards (Y/N) and shrugs his shoulders "might need them later".

From behind the door, the drunk can be heard yelling again "take a look! Take a good look! Know who I am now? Hey! Look at me!" The victim yells back, "get off of me!" 

"Aaaargh!" The couple finally reached the door and the two look at each other for a moment, Bigby steps back letting his wife take the lead. (Y/N) moves in front of the door and then lifts her leg up, with incredible speed and power the door flew open when her foot hits the wood letting the couple get a good look at the scene in front of them.

A man, the Woodsman towers over a woman in a sleeveless, teal blue shirt, and short black skirt, wrapped around her neck is a purple ribbon, she has short black hair and fair skin which is covered in bruises.

"Goddamn you!" The Woodsman raises his hand and strikes her across the face "you know who I am now". 

Bigby runs into the apartment yelling "whoa, whoa, whoa! hey! HEY!" he runs into The Woodsman pushing him onto the wall. (Y/N) rushes in after him standing by her husband in case he needs back up. The woman walks towards the three "you've got something on your face..." she says. 

The Woodsman turns his head away from Bibgy towards the woman "fuck are you talking about you stupid cu--" he isn't able to finish his sentence as the woman spat the blood pooling in her mouth from The Woodsman's hits right into his eyes, The Woodsman still struggles to get out of Bigby's grip but is unable to due to Bigby's strength.

"I'll fuckin' kill you. You fucker!" He screams at the woman.

 "Alright, everyone just c--" Bigby attempts to calm everyone but is hit in the forehead by The Woodsman. Bigby stumbles back a bit and knocks an empty beer bottle, it rolls until is stops and rests under the bed frame. The Woodsman moves forward, moving his head from side to side. Bigby stands up straight meeting his gaze and wipes his nose with the back of his hand. 

"What're you gonna fuckin' do? Huh? Get the fuck out of the way before you get the ax again" The Woodsman threatens Bigby. (Y/N) decides this is where she intervenes, "Woody, this is your last warning. If you keep going on like this, We won't have any choice but to put you down" She says moving to stand next to Bigby.

"Put ME down?" Woody mocks, "you've got a shit fuckin' memory, Wolf. That's not how it went last time." He steps forward. "This isn't last time," Bigby says staring violently into Woody's eyes with a murderous look. Woody goes into punch Bigby but his strike is blocked by (Y/N) who steps in front of her husband, she moves around Woody so that she can put his arms into a lock. She is hit in the head when Woody moves his head back to knock her in the face but she still manages to keep him in the hold.

" You gonna calm down?" Bigby asks letting his wife have all the fun. (Y/N) moves Woody arms to hit a nerve and Woody screams out in pain. "No?" Asks Bigby, "well I guess we're doing this the hard way. Take it away, honey." (Y/N) smiles and runs Woody into the sink that is in his apartment. Wood gets up holding onto the sink and grabs a razor. He turns around to see Bigby and (Y/N) closing in on him, he holds up the razor in a threatening way. He grunts, moving towards the couple attempting to cut them but they quickly duck under him and escape the attack. Woody tries again and but they simply move out the way again each time. Bigby punches Woody in the stomach and pushes him, he builds up enough momentum to flip Woody over himself and drives Woody straight into the sink...
