The Grimm Book: Scion

Chapter 4

Riding a bike was not as fun as Trent expected.

Scarlet drove like a madman, she slid through every opening, raced on every highway, and causd traffic in the intersections.

She's crazy! Trent thought.

They stopped at a pub a few miles till the airport to fill up, and hopefully make it to New York by dusk the next day.

"So tell me more about youself?" Trent said, sipping his coffee and breaking the silence between them.

"Shut up" Scarlet said.

"You see, the whole friends thing work if you tell eachother the deep stuffs" Trent said, smiling.

"The deep stuffs" Scarlet repeated cynically.

"Yeah" Trent answered, ignoring her sarcasm.

"Like what?"

"Um, like..." Trent's voice fading, then he saw an old movie poster of the movie Red Riding Hood. "what's your favorite movie?"

"Really?" Scarlet said. "that's what you're going with?".

"What?" Trent answered. "Amanda Seyfried looked really hot being Valerie".

"So, why did the wolves want you?" Trent asked.

"Long story," Scarlet said.

"I'm listening" Trent replied.

"Maybe not this time," Scarlet said, her face darkened.

"Buzzkill" Trent pouted like a child.

Scarlet rolled her eyes, and continued her coffee.

The pub's door opened, sending a loud chime of the entrance bell through out the room.

Three people entered. One was a girl, she seemed to be the leader. She was wearing a tattered fur cloak, her hair was pulled up in a messed up but tight ponytail, her face looked deadly, and the other two was boys looked like her little workers. One was buff, and the other looked mentally retardes. They marched up to the counter, walking like they own the place.

"What do you think will happen if we found Cinderella?" Trent asked.

But Scarlet seemed preoccupied. She fixed her attention to the three that just walked in.

"Hey Scarlet?" Trent said. "I'm trying to talk here?"

"Shut up" Scarlet brushed him off, her eyes still locked at the three who was talking to the bartender.

"Who are you looking at?" Trent said.

Before he could turn his head, Scarlet lunged at him, slamming him flat on the floor.

The three outsiders turned, guns ready and opened fire.

The pub was on chaos, people bolted up to the door, others was shot, and others stayed down avoiding the bullets.

Trent and Scarlet heard one of them laugh for joy seeing the chaos they created.

"Stay down!" Scarlet ordered, and pulled her handgun.

"There she is!" the lady boss shouted and the buff one advanced at her.

Scarlet was quick and dodged the attack but she wasn't lucky when the woman's gun was pointed at her throat.

"Everyone out!" the woman shouted, and people both injured and fine made their way out of the pub.

Trent hid behind the collapsed table. He needed to do something.

"Well, we finally meet again Red!" the woman spat at Scarlet.

The other two spread out the room, acting as bodyguards.

"The names Scarlet!" Scarlet said.

"Oooooh, Scarlet" the woman said. "Kinda reminds me of my old boss".

"Before we tore him to shreds!" the skinny one shouted

"Shut your mouth Ed!" the woman barked.

"What do you want Shenzi?" Scarlet said.

"I think you know what I want, Scar-let" Shenzi said.

"The book?" Scarlet replied. "I'm going to fix it, release me and I'll promise I'll send you and them back".

"Now why would we want that?" Shenzi said. "Why would we return to being filthy animals, where we can be powerful here in this land?"

"Boss..." Ed shouted.

"Our boss said, you found the book, and a Grimm" Shenzi said, glaring at Scarlet.

"Boss..." Ed said, his voice sounded like a squeak.

"What!?" Shenzi turned and faced Ed.

"Looking for me?" Trent said.

Shenzi looked at him pale, and astonished.

Trent's arm was outstreched and his hand was fixed like he was choking someone....and he was.

Four feet from Trent stood, Ed was suspended in midair, his face already turning blue, it was like Trent was choking him without even contact.

"Banzai! Where the hell are you?" Shenzi shouted, her face panic-sticken.

"Oh, the buff guy?" Trent said. "He sorta passed out".

Trent titled his head to the right, where the buff guy was lying unconcious on the floor.

"Drop him, or I'll kill her" Shenzi taunted, and locked the trigger, pointed at Scarlet's throat.

Trent reluctantly dropped Ed, who was gasping for air.

"Now, let her go" Trent said.

But Shenzi flashed him an evil grin.

"Say goodbye to your girlfriend" Shenzi said.

"No!" Trent shouted.

Before Shenzi could pull the trigger, she found herself flying across the bar, and crashing on the shelves, unconcious.

Trent looked at himself surprised. He couldn't believe he did that. It was the first time he actually used telekinesis.

But a side of him regretted not using it on the wolf that attacked the little girl.

"Thanks" Scarlet breathed, and kicked the gun away.

"You!" Trent said, turning to the skinny one, Ed.

"Have mercy, don't kill me!" he begged.

"Leave!" Trent said. "and if I ever see you again, I will tear you to shreds".

Some of the tables and chairs levitated for dramatic effect.

"Yes sir, yes sir" Ed said. "Thank you!".

He got out and hurried out, laughing nervously.

Trent looked at Scarlet.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah" Scarlet nodded.

"So, don't I get a kiss or something?" Trent teased.

"Joking!" he shouted, seeing Scarlet raising her hand.

"Let's get out of here" Scarlet said, and walked towards the door.

"Thanks" she whispered to Trent, leaned over, and pecked him at the cheek.

"Happy?" her voice back to normal.

"Uh, I don't jnow what just happened..." Trent replied, his cheeks blushing.

Scarlet flashed him a coy smile.

"Let's go Trent" Scarlet called. "We still need to find Cinderella".
