|Personality|
Protective: Whenever someone she cares about or a child is being harmed in any way, she turns into protective mode. This is mainly caused by the wolf that is buried deep inside of her.

Stubborn: When there is something she wants, there is no stopping her. She will do anything to get to whatever she wants.

Sentimental: Ruby keeps a diary to keep a hold of all of her thoughts and experiences. This is her way of being able to look back into the past and relive her experiences and best times of her life.

Outgoing: She tries her best to stay as happy as possible, even if it means going out and doing things she originally wouldn't do in order to have some kind of adventure in her life.

Hot Tempered: In her human state, it takes a lot more to anger her, but once the cap is loose she turns into a completely different person. Someone you didn't think she could ever become.

Loyal: When it comes to her friends and family, she is always by their side. Even in they're in the wrong she will stand by them through everything.

Adventurous: Ruby has been known to venture out into the woods just to have a bit of adventure in her life. Though not only does she feel happy out there, it feels more like home. Honestly, she isn't quite sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

|Strengths|
Ruby is able to sense the good and bad in people because of her heightened senses as a wolf. Along with that, she is also able to sense if other wolves are around. Just like any other wolves in nature, she is extremely loyal to her friends and family and of course among anything else she is very protective.

|Weaknesses|
Ruby is scared of herself, scared of what she would do in her wolf form. She finds it very hard to control herself in that state which is why she was so happy that her grandmother gave her her red riding hood. But even though her wolf is hidden inside of her, the personality still comes out. She finds it hard to keep her mouth shut at times, which tends to cause problems, but she learned to live with it.

|History|
Ruby Hood was born to the big bad wolf, yes, he does have that same temper. Though as time went on, he began being referred to as the second beast because of his attitude and his murderous rage. She always believed her father, Loup could change for the good, which he has been making progress but not as quickly as Ruby would want him to. Any time she isn't around, he tends to break out his rage again.

As for her relationship with her mother, she never knew her and her father never talked about her. The closest she ever came to her mother was her grandmother who has passed away, leaving the cafe to Ruby. Though before her grandmother passed, she had a witch enchant a red hood that she must wear every night or she would transform into the wolf. This is something she keeps to herself. Even though everyone in town knows that Loup is her father, she doesn't want anyone to know that she inherited the wolf gene.

In return for the witch's enchantment on the hood, her grandmother had to give up something in return. She still has no clue what it was, but maybe she will be able to contact the right people who would be able to help her figure out what it was. If it was something horrible, she would feel bad that she went through everything she did just so Ruby wouldn't have to deal with transforming into a wolf again.

While growing up, she was always picked on because of who she became at night and everyone was scared of her. Ruby had no idea how to control her rage and hunger while she is in her wolf form. To say that she had killed someone before would be an understatement. Granted she hadn't killed as many people as her father has, but she has killed a few people.

Ruby has lived in numerous places while growing up because of the growing fear in everyone who finds out her secret. Once her father moved her to Crimson Grove, she decided it would be best to keep her secret on the down low, show people who she truly is. But thankfully she was able to get the red riding hood before she was able to transform into a wolf in Crimson Grove. To this day, no one in town has seen her wolf and she plans to keep it that way.

|Monster by Skillet|
The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake
And I can't control it
Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up
And break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark
It's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul,
It wants my heart

No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I'm gonna lose control
Here's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster [4x]

So begins...

Dialogue Color: #ff2929 || Location: Ruby's Cafe/Diner

ImageRuby stood behind the counter of her cafe early in the morning waiting for her new employee, Gretel Fischer to arrive. Around this time everyone in town was beginning to wake up but as for Ruby, she always seemed to find herself awakening at the crack of dawn. It was something she never seemed able to understand.

The air was slightly chilled from the light fog that was beginning to lift itself from the ground and dissipate into the air as the sun rose higher into the sky. It was cold enough to send slight shivers throughout your body but not bad enough that you needed to cover yourself. This was the kind of weather Ruby always loved. Not too hot, not too cold. But of course she knew it was going to warm up in the afternoon, it was summer after all. She was just glad that summer was going to be coming to an end soon.

Ruby finally got everything in the diner ready for the day and she stepped into the kitchen and began cooking up her father's breakfast. He always asked for the same thing, sausage, eggs, biscuit, and even a waffle or pancake, depending on what his mood is like when he wakes up. She loves helping out her father, but she just wished he would return to himself so she wouldn't have to be waiting on him like this every morning, he would just be able to come to the diner when he wanted to. But either way, she knew she shouldn't complain. He would do the same thing for her, well, she hoped he would anyway.

Just as she finished cooking her father's food, she wrote and note and placed it on the counter in the diner just in case Gretel got there before she returned from bringing her father his wanted breakfast. The note read: Gretel, I will return soon until then keep the front door locked and feel free to get yourself a drink and what not. When I return I will start you on your training, won't take long.

Ruby walked the ten minutes back to her home, the big house in the middle of Crimson Grove, her father was the mayor. She stepped inside and made her way up the stairs pass her room, Belle's room; she seemed to still be sleeping, and finally arrived to her father's room. Ruby knocked on the door a couple times before opening it up and speaking, "I have your breakfast," she stated as she set it down on the small table in his room. "I need to return to the diner, I'm training a new girl today. If you need anything have Belle get in touch with me. I love you Pa," she stated before turning on her heels and beginning on her way back to the diner.
Image
As Ruby walked through the empty streets, it seemed as if things were starting to pick up for the day's busy schedules most people had. She just hoped she wouldn't run into Flynn Ryder any time today. The past couple of days he has been trying to take things from her, but of course she was always able to sense him coming close to her without even being within four feet from her. That was always one of the things she enjoyed about being a wolf. But no matter how much she enjoyed the good parts, the bad parts were nothing she would want to put up with.

Just thinking about what she is capable of, the things she has done just makes her sick to her stomach. The brunette finally reached the door to the diner and she stepped in, opening the diner for business. She slid the hood off her head, though she kept the red, silk cloth draped around her body. This was the last thing she had from her grandmother and it was so much more important than some sort of remembrance item. She just hoped nobody would find out.

"Gretel, are you here?" she called out to the empty diner, hoping that she would come across her somewhere in the building.

The morning air was brisk and cool as it passed into her lungs in quiet rhythm. Her legs carried her across the beach as they did nearly every start of the day. There was something exotic and thrilling about running. Each morning she set out on the same trail, and every evening she would slip away from town to her secret water hole in the woods. She couldn't risk going into the ocean. Something told her that if she went there, something, or someone, would take her away. The hidden lake was still on her mind when her pocket buzzed to life. Large blue eyes glance down to her shorts. A text from Mrs. Net indicated it was time to deliver the first order of the day.

In short time she was showered and dressed for the day and straddling over her bike to deliver the bouquet of roses and lilies to the Hood's house. Was that Ruby leaving the drive? She couldn't tell from so far away. Focusing on the road again, she continued her way up the hill with her delivery- a hum on her lips. Just three knocks upon the door, as always, and then she let herself inside. The routine was a familiar one. Flowers for the dinning room, kitchen and living room. "Upon one summer's morning, I carefully did stray..." She sang quietly to herself as she carried the flowers to each designated room, keeping her eyes down to her task.

She stopped singing only once the last flower was situated. Something creaked in the corner, but she didn't seem overly alarmed. "Mr. Hood?" She waits quietly for a moment, looking around and yet not seeing anyone. "Good morning!" She smiles, unaware if he could even see her or not. "It's a lovely morning today. There was this little crab on the beach, he was quite..." She stops short, about to say 'rude', but how could she explain how she had conversed with the little vulgar creature? "Cute. I think I saw Ruby earlier... She must have just left.... I hope you like the flowers. I know you normally get roses, but I convinced Mrs. Net to put in some lilies this time. Roses are a common symbol of love and romance. Did you know?"

She peers curiously at one of the bookshelves in the living room, seemingly unaware that her idle chatter and standing around in a customer's house was a little odd and not entirely proper. "Have you read all of these?" Slender fingers reach out to touch, but draw back at the last minute from the book spines. "I'm still learning. Reading is... hard." She laughs a little and turns around, looking at the empty room. "I've heard there are some new people in town! Did you hear? Isn't it splendid? It's like we're getting bigger and bigger every day!" She was, unfortunately, almost always this chipper. "Mr. Hood.... Do you suppose we could have another festival soon? I think a festival would be lovely. Summer's almost over, after all... What do you think?"

Few Nights Back


"Jack there's something I'd like for you to get. Here I have drawn it for you." Loup handed Jack a torn crinkled piece of leather. From the looks of it, it would seem that the drawing as been drawn for a lot longer than just now. He must have kept it by his side for ages in order for it to look so old and have an odd smell.

Before taking it from Loup, he gave a questioning look towards him. "You want me to find this because?"

Loup looked at Jack for an offload of a long time. His wolf like yellow eyes narrowed behind the hairiness of his eyelids. He almost looked like he would die right there of depression. Jack felt disgusted, not by how he was getting the sad look, but at how easily it made him want to give up and just say yes, he couldn't help but show it on his face. It was horrifying.

Jack gave out a long dramatic sigh as he used his staff to get up to stand on the window ledge. "Just so you know, I might not be getting a reason as to why I have to look for this thing, but at least tell me where it last was or was seen. It might help. To top it off, how old is this thing?! It's probably older than your daughter isn't it? If it's been gone that long, I will frost bite what manhood you have left Dog. Do you have any idea how long I'd be looking for this? You better have a damn good reason when I get back. Tsk" He was so pissed that his staff lit up in a pale white-blue color and ended up freezing the whole window.

Loup handed Jack an old pure silver key. That had a wolf with wings in the background. The whole design was so like him. Though, it was questioning how he wanted me to get this thing and not his own flesh and blood. 'Dose he does not trust her enough with it? Maybe it's something he doesn't want her to see?...'

Taking the leather and key, he looked at the drawing, a drawing that made his face go pale and answered his question about not wanting Ruby near it.

"It's a lot to ask for. I know, especially when you know so little. But you will bring it here for me. I will be needing it."

"Like hell! I'm never going to get this! Not in your lifetime! Are you insane? This is suicide!" Jack slammed his hand down on the bedside desk, leaving the key and leather there. "We might be close, but we aren't that close. Get someone else to do that! I've already had to deal with this once, I won't do it again!" He was so pissed that he wasn't even going to bother to control himself. The whole side of the room that he was standing in had frost everywhere. It even started to snow a bit in the room. "You've crossed the line this time. What would Ruby think..." He threw those last words in Loup's face, taking his leave.

It's been three nights since then and Jack hasn't come by. Loup couldn't really remember the last time his house was so quiet at night. Lately, though, Loup hasn't got much sleep. That morning he had let his daughter come in and do her normal morning go bouts. Giving him food and saying a few words before taking off. As much as he loved his dear child, sometimes he'd wish she would move on from him and live her own life. Instead of being stuck here taking care of a miserable old man, such as himself.

This time, he had spoken just before she stepped out. "Maybe it's now time you find piece and give me grandchildren." He was unsure if she heard him because seconds later she closed the door and left the room, saying her last words about Belle, their new live-in helper. Maybe Caretaker would fit her role.

The house went quiet once again after Ruby took off. He had gone downstairs and into their home library. It was small, but at least they had one. The books kept him from being too bored. Even though it was a bit hard to read them at times, so he'd only get half the story. Taking the book, he sat in his normal seating, behind some curtains near the balcony, unseen and out of the way. The sound of his name was being spoken by a soft and familiar voice. Ariel. The girl who'd come, talk to him about random things and bring flowers to him. It was nice to hear about the little things she'd speak of from the outside world. She at times would have a wild imagination.

"Yes, I knew. They are quite miserable as well to be around. The lilies are a nice scent change." The room became silent for a bit, he could here she was still there, looking around. So he opened his book, glancing about it, only to hear her speak again. "Only the ones that look extremely old. The newer ones, I have not." He couldn't read them, not anymore like he use to. He didn't answer he new question about a lot more people coming to town. He wasn't too fond of it. More people meant more unwanted problems. And with Jack not around, it was hard to handle.

"Festival? You'd have to ask Ruby. I don't take part in those things." His claws dug into the book as he kept his voice calm, trying to control himself. He was more upset about how he couldn't be apart of anything, including missing out on his own daughters life. Unsure of saying anything more, he didn't. He had spoken enough.

"Be nice to the customers!" Gretel's brother yelled after her as she raced off. She laughed. Family, they always knew you too well.

When Hansel finished high school, he was more than happy to just continue working at the Nursing Home they lived at. Gretel on the other hand couldn't imagine anything worse. Living at the Nursing Home, and doing small jobs here and their was fine, bearable. Anything more that that though and Gretel couldn't stand the thought of it. That's why she was somewhat excited about getting this job at Ruby's cafe. Which for Gretel is a big thing. She doesn't get excited for anything, birthdays? Christmas? High School graduation? They were all just another day for her. So for her being somewhat excited is amazing.

Of course thanks to Myrtle, one of the residents at the Nursing Home, who had Gretel cleaning her room all morning, Gretel was now late for her first day of work. She was basically running across the streets and cutting every corner she could think off to get to the cafe. Not caring who she ran past on the way, she just didn't want to lose her job before she'd even started.

"Gretel, are you here?" Ruby called out, right as Gretel showed up on the door step. What timing

"Yep," Gretel replied with a half-hearted grin and she desperately tried to regain her breathe. She just hoped her face hadn't gone red and blotchy like it used to in school sport class. It was a serious issue. The only thing that made it better was that it was genetic, so Hansel also got red and blotchy when he did any sort of physical activity.

"Sorry I'm a little late," Gretel said once she had caught her breathe, and she entered the cafe. Gretel looked around taking in the dรฉcor, she's eaten here before obviously, as there weren't all that may places to eat out in town. "So, whatcha got in store for me boss?"

Location: The Woods/Diner




Image
Antonio was up earlier than the whole town, it was a slight routine for him. He'd get up real early most days since he got here during dawn when the sky was just being painted pink and purple by the rising sun and run for a couple of hours. The running seemed to calm the wolf in him so if anything happened during the day that made him upset he could easily control the wolf. It also worked as a stress reliever and somewhere where he could think. He was really grateful for Elsa letting him, his sister and Rapunzel crash there and so he was going to do whatever he could to help her out.

The spot of choice today was the woods where he felt more at home than anything. The sound of twigs breaking under his feet echoed throughout the quiet woods where birds could be heard chirping in the distance. His breath was even, calm almost which would be surprising to any human because any human would have been struggling to keep their breath even at the speed he was going. His feet skillfully knew where to step while he used his hands to help him leap over any fallen logs or obstacles in his way. Running was the only time Andy ever felt truly free and it was amazing, the wind in his hair and hitting his bare chest, honestly this guy never runs without his shirt off and if you asked him why he'd just say it was restricting.

By the time Andy decided to finish his little morning run the sky was in full light and the sun hung above him. Reaching up to shield his eyes from the low glow of the sun he stared at it with a fond smile before the sudden growl of his stomach snapped him back to reality. He quickly patted down his pants then smiled when he found his wallet. He opened it and flipped thorough a couple of bills before smirking. "Yes! Food money." he blurted out in a rather cheery tone.

Pocketing his wallet, Antonio nodded to himself as he mentally confirmed that he was off to the diner and with that he began to jog out of the woods. It only took a couple of minutes before he was out and deiced to take a short cup and sprint through the park. Now he wasn't trying to show off or anything, honestly he just likes parkour so while his little sprint through the park he hopped over a bench with an old lady sitting on one side. He seemed to startle her, "Oh, sorry miss!" he managed to say while stopping momentarily before resuming his run which he scared off some feeding birds in the process.

With the diner in sight Andy slowed his run once more to a jog. Opening the door, he walked in panting low, his chest rising and falling. He walked over to a booth and decided to catch his breathe before attempting to order food or not it would sound something like this. F-Food, insert panting here, a-and water, before I die. Now he wasn't that exhausted but he wasn't going to take the chance of sounding like and idiot. Spotting Ruby and Gretel he instantly perked up and waved at them. "Morning ladies!" he managed to flash her one of his genuine smiles.

Location: The Hood Household

There are something's in life that you get used to. For Belle, sleeping in a bed- not matter how comfortable or luxurious it was- was not one of them. She had tossed in turned in her new bed all night. Her little apartment that she called home was her real bed. That was until she discovered her father was sick. So sick, that with Mr. French hadn't told her or his boss that he was sick at all. She had found out the awful truth one day while visiting Dr. Weaver. It wasn't the usual wellness or sic check up. They were sharing a cup of coffee while she asked him questions about being a doctor and some specific questions she had when he asked how her father was feeling.

Of course, doctor's aren't really supposed to give out that sort of information but Belle has never been one to back down before she's gotten what she's wanted. This is how she found out that her father needed to be hospitalized. And she didn't waste a moment after that. In fact, that very night Maurice was hospitalized. But she was also had to visit her best friend, Ruby.

Her father's insurance went through his work at the Hood household. He needed to keep that insurance if he was going to be treated at the hospital. She spent several hours trying to come up with a solution with her friend. She only thing they could agree upon was Belle taking over as caretaker at the Hood household. Belle would never take handouts, even from her best friend. So it was decided she'd keep her apartment and bring what she needed to the Hood house. This was after they discussed things with Ruby's father as well.

The alarm Belle had set had yet to go off but she was awake. She sighed, glancing at her window. Dawn was barely breaking. Sleep was evading her so she might as well get up. She pushed at her blankets and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once she showered, she put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She didn't really have to wear something nice to do any cleaning. She braided her hair back.

Belle opened her door and went over to Ruby's door. She knocked softly but she didn't answer. She peeked her head into the room and sighed when she found it empty. Of course, she would have to start off her morning alone. Perhaps she'd stop by the diner after she worked on the garden. It would be easier to garden in the morning when it was cooler.

She made her way downstairs and stopped when she heard voices.

"Ruby? Mr. Hood?" She asked, walking into the library. She smiled when she saw Ariel. "Oh hi there. I didn't know you were here... I thought I heard you talking with someone... Is Mr. Hood here as well?" She asked her, glancing around the library, though she didn't see Mr. Hood she could almost sense him there.

She smiled at her again. She didn't know the red head very well but she was nice. "How are you today?"

There was a small bed in Trixie Bell's apartment, but she usually ended up sleeping on the couch. Not for any particular reason- the bed was more comfortable than the couch. It usually happened because Tink hadn't been aware of how tired she had been until she'd sat down for whatever reason, and had then promptly fallen asleep. Still, her small size meant that she could sleep on the couch without her legs being trailing off the end or without getting a crick in her neck due to an awkward sleeping position. Had she been living with someone else, a blanket may have been put over her- but she lived alone, and today was not one of those days when her landlord came to ask her to do some odd jobs. That was how she paid her rent- getting his shopping, cleaning his house, doing his gardening and so on. She also earned enough money to live on by doing odd jobs for other people- covering shifts in shops when they were stuck, doing various gardening jobs, doing various errands... It was certainly better than having to do the same job every day.

As the rest of the town was starting to go about their day, Tink finally awoke. Again, she was somewhat surprised to find herself on the couch. She really needed to remember to actually go to bed as opposed to sitting down for a break and waking up seven hours later. She stretched as she got to her feet, ruffling her hair. At least she'd actually gotten into her pyjamas last night. But now she needed to change out of them and get herself ready for the day. She went into her bedroom and over to the wardrobe, where she started assembling her outfit. Seeing as it was summer and was going to be warm, she went for a white vest, vivid turquoise shorts, bright pink Doc Martens and polka dot tights, her hair going into pigtails. In terms of makeup, she wore bright pink lipstick and winged eyeliner.

Finally ready to face the day, she decided to head down to the diner for breakfast. It was better and easier than if she made it herself, and she could see Ruby there. Grabbing a backpack and throwing her phone, purse, sunglasses and some pixie dust into it, she headed down to the diner. Antonio was already in a booth there, and she beamed at him. However, Gretel was also there. Now that she thought of it, she had mentioned something about a new job at the diner. That made sense now.

"Hi guys!" She called, climbing up onto a stool at the counter, still beaming at all of them.

Location: Ruby's Cafe

Boyish charm radiated from Peter as he rode in the passenger's seat of a stranger's truck. Without ID, it was hard to get from place to place. He didn't have a lot of memories. He could remember a wonderful childhood full of adventures. He could remember his group of friends. He was the leader and they called themselves 'The Lost Boys'. It must have been because they were orphans or maybe they just loved to get lost in their adventures.

The rusty truck came to stop at the edge of a town. "This is as far as I can take you son." Said the man who quite resembled Santa Claus said to him.

Peter couldn't remember the bloake's name but he smiled at him all the same. "Oh, that's okay. Thank you for taking me this far. It was a pleasure to meet you." He took off his seat belt and held out his hand. He gave the man a good handshake before he hopped out of the truck, his feet hitting the pavement with a soft thud. "May your travels be filled with adventure and safety!" He called to the man, giving a bow and then waving as the man took off.

He slung his backpack over his shoulder and followed the road through the woods. He soon came to a sign that said "Welcome to Crimson Grove." He smiled at the sign, pausing for a moment as if he was looking up at a friend he hadn't seen in a long time. "I think I'm gonna like it here."

With that, Peter was on his way. Soon he came upon a diner. He pushed opened the door and smiled when he heard the bell time. It reminded him a girl with blonde hair who loved to play tricks. She was special to him but he couldn't quite remember her face. Had she been a friend from her childhood?

He went to the counter and took a seat on a stool, dropping his bag on the ground next to him. With his foot he pulled it under his chair so it wouldn't get in anyone's way. There we only a few people inside and it gave off a certain hometown feel. Couldn't remember ever being there before but maybe he had. He shrugged it off and picked up a menu.

Peter was suddenly very hungry. If he sat here long enough, he could probably eat his way entirely through the menu. Then again he couldn't quite pay for all of that at the moment. He flipped to the breakfast section. It was the most important meal of the day, after all.

Image"Yep," she heard Gretel speak, causing her to jump slightly. Ruby turned towards Gretel with a soft smile. "Glad you could make it. The job is pretty self explanatory," Ruby said as she reached for the pencil and small notepad and handed it to her. "Take the customer's orders, write them down and take the order into the kitchen and hang it on the line. When the cook is finished he will ring the bell and you bring the orders to the tables. I'll take care of the bar. If you have any questions, I'd suggest you ask them now," Ruby stated as she tied her red apron around her waist after removing the red hood from around her. She always put the hood back on at five o'clock every evening. That's when the sun starts setting in Crimson Grove.

"Oh, you'll need this," she stated as she held out the apron towards Gretel. Ruby knew she was being a bit hard on her at the moment, but honestly waitressing was something anyone could do. The only thing Ruby had to worry about was see how she treats the customers, that was always the hard part.

"Morning ladies!" Ruby was interrupted by a male voice. When she glanced over she noticed it was Antonio, another wolf who was in town. Of course she never really confronted him about it but it was honestly not her business, especially in public anyway. She might confront him on it, but right now was certainly not the best of times.

Ruby smiled over at him, "Good morning Antonio, have a nice run?" she stated in her friendly tone before returning her attention to Gretel. "Alright, let's get to work then," she stated as she took her place behind the front counter.

Just as Ruby was beginning to finish the final touches behind the counter, she was greeted by Trixie. "Hey, what can I get you?" she questioned as she focused her full attention on the tiny fairy. Trixie was one of the few who knew her secret and she planned to keep it on the down low as long as she possibly could.
Image
Just when she thought she would be having a slow morning, another customer stepped inside, one that she had never seen before, not even around town. It wasn't very often they had newcomers around here, but for some reason newcomers seem to be falling out of the sky around here.

When the male took a seat at the counter just a couple stools down from Trixie, she made her way over towards him. "Hi, welcome to Crimson Grove. Is there anything on the menu that interests you?" she questioned, trying her best to be as polite as possible. She didn't want to scare off a new customer.

As she stood there, welcoming the male, she glanced over at Gretel, finding that she was doing pretty okay for her first day. Ruby just hoped that nothing big would happen today, she wasn't sure if Gretel would be able to handle that. At times a small fight would break out at the diner, she just wished her customer's could leave their drama out on the streets and not bring it inside, but of course she knew that was never going to be possible.

ImageFlynn always enjoyed the aftermath of doing one of their little jobs. The adrenaline always made it fun, but once the job is completed they always talked about the things they did that almost caught them caught, etc. It was one of his favorite parts of his line of work. Of course everyone else in town wouldn't call it work, but it honestly was to him. If these people didn't want things stolen from them, then they shouldn't be boasting about all of their valuables. He's got to hear about these things from somewhere or he wouldn't even know what these people owned.

"I swear to god Flynn if this guy messes us around this time, I'm going to explode. I am not in the mood." Flynn heard Gold state as she swung open the pawn shop door. "I completely agree!" he replied just as he was hearing the old man's voice, one that he knows all too well.

The moment the man knew who was inside his shop, he pulled the items out of his pockets and laid them down on top of the counter. There were a couple of golden trinkets and a couple gemstones. "These items are at least worth a couple hundred each," Flynn stated as the pawn shop owner began looking them over. Flynn could tell when he hated when someone else was right and the man knew that he had to give an honest price for these items or Gold would blow up at him...again.

The man nodded his head in agreement, "You're right. I'll give you $800 for the lot," he stated as he pulled the money out of the register and handed it over to them. "Thanks," he stated as he took the money and immediately began to drag Gold out of the pawn shop. "I know what you're thinking, we could have gotten more for it but this is good enough. Here," he said as he handed Gold her half, $400.
Image
"Let's go get some food," he stated as he slid his money into his pocket and started on his way to the diner. "Come on Gold, if you must you can yell at the man later. Right now we need to eat something," he stated before continuing on his way to the diner.

Upon entering, he immediately spotted a new person inside. He peered over at him before whispering over to Gold, "Got a new person. We need to keep an ear out to see if he has anything of value on him," he whispered before sitting himself down at one of the empty booths.

Trixie studied the menu in front of her as Ruby asked what she wanted. She knew she was going to have pancakes, but with what topping? She'd decided on berries and syrup and was about to answer Ruby when a newcomer entered the diner. Tink looked up, studying him as he took a seat a few stools down. Despite the fact that she was pretty sure she'd never seen him before in her life, there was something vaguely familiar about him. Was he famous? No, that wasn't it. She shook her head and looked back at Ruby.

"Can I have pancakes with berries and syrup please, Ruby?" She asked, putting the menu back. "And do you still have that berry tea? If you don't, I'll just have normal tea," she added. The berries reminded her of Neverland, and she liked that. It was a taste of home. She didn't get homesick- after all, the stinky pirates were still there, as was Peter, probably still moping over her. She wondered if Wendy Darling had come back. Maybe she'd been eaten by crocodiles.

She looked up as two more came in. Ruby and Gretel were going to be busy, then. She recognised the curly hair of one as Gold Lockhart. The other she recognised vaguely, but couldn't put a name on her. She rolled her eyes and turned back to the counter. She didn't particularly like Gold and so wasn't going to waste time with a conversation. She had better things to spend her energy on. She looked over at the stranger. Maybe if she spoke to him, she'd get a better idea of where she knew him from.

"Hello. I'm Trixie. What's your name?" She asked.

Gardenia


Dawn's light trickled over the empty, pristine white sheets of Dr. Weaver's room. His bed was empty. Down the hand-sculpted staircase, past the extravagant artworks and Ming vases, at the door in a beaver-skin trenchcoat, stood the doctor. He adjusted his coat to rest on his shoulders better and looked up to the window above his door. The sun had just begun to peak over the hills. A soft smile painted his face, a genuine smile. An Operatic piece was floating through his head as he tossed his cane from the umbrella rack and caught it all in one seamless movement.

His long fingers turned the white-gold knob slowly, it was early enough that he'd have time regardless of his speed. He simply liked to let the mornings wash over him. Extending his right leg he began his stride down the dark staircase that led up to his manor. He stopped briefly to wave good-morning to his gardener. Usually he would do it himself, but he had been very busy at the hospital lately. Especially since Adelaide hadn't woken up yet. It had been months now. The gardener was an older fellow, his family needed the money to put his son through school. Remus thought their last name was something Italian-esque.

He made it to the wrought-iron gates that held the sculpted image of a serpent, peacefully wrapped around a woman, his chosen symbol. Yes, these early morning strolls to the main-town always made him very happy. His butler had asked if he wanted the Bugatti brought around, Remus had of course declined. He had a feeling that he needed to stop by the diner on his way to work today. Which wasn't very far so he had chosen to walk. He needed the exercise after-all.

It took him about an hour to reach the diner and once he arrived there, there were already a few early-risers filtering in. Of course Ruby was already there, it was her diner. As he walked in he made sure his warm smile was present. He spotted a familiar face, a boyish one but familiar all the same. He took a seat beside the boy and smiled at him as a form of greeting before speaking up to Ruby, who at the time seemed to be taking the order of this new customer. Remus had of course been here many times, he was the town's doctor, he needed to know everyone in town. Or at least have some idea. He took pride in his knowledge of the people here, he never forgot a face. Or a promise made.

"Why good morning Miss Hood, how is your father doing?" He asked as he set his cane down beside him. "Oh, I'll take a coffee, if you don't mind." He added, he needed to purchase something here or Ruby got antsy. However a coffee was quite trivial in means of money to Remus. He did have a practically never-ending supply. Turning to the boy next to him Remus offered his welcoming grin.

"Peter, correct? I've been waiting for you to arrive! Thank goodness you arrived safely." Of course Remus recalled him, he owed him a favor.

I think it's time my favorite nephew came home.

The sound of Belle's voice caused Loup's ear to twitch, like a dog whenever his master was calling him. He tried to ignore it but...

"Oh hi there. I didn't know you were here... I thought I heard you talking with someone... Is Mr. Hood here as well?" The sound of her feet against the floor, the scent that came linger in after it is what did it.

Getting up from his chair, his claws gripped onto the drapes that hid him. He wanted so badly to rip them off and see the woman's face, to know what she looks like, but he couldn't help but stare at his hand. Covered in fur and claws, he was like a real life nightmare. His eyes narrowed as his hand slipped from the drapes, letting himself sit back down.

"I will leave you to be and I bid you ladies a fair day." His low voice spoke softly as he made his escape through the balcony after sliding the drapes over to not be seen and managed to get himself into his room from a little wall climbing.

He had done this many times and each time he does, he sees nothing different in the mirror that hung in his room. A monster that he used to be over the human he is trying to be all mixed in one. It was a nightmare trying to take over a dream. A man who wants to be a man over a beast, but a beast who can't let go of the man. And eyes that looked tortured. This was it for him, this had to be it. If he'd let the wolf take over, the only one he fears it might get is his daughter. It's the only part of him that he has no control over, on who that wolf kills. It's a...monster.

Angry he broke the mirror with his fist causing it to slide down the wall and cause a loud ruckus. Glass flying everywhere it could reach and now all he could see was himself in all directions, it truly was a nightmare. He almost felt dizzy and sick from the sight of it, trying to breathe he grabbed his head, panting as hard as he could, he couldn't take it. His eyes turned yellow once again and he let out a crying howl. It echoed through the house and traveled through to the outside. The town could probably hear it. Loup, on the other hand, didn't care who heard it. They should all know the monster that he's become.

Image Normally Frost would come into town during the day in his almost human form, but today he came into town as his night self. It's already been three nights since he hasn't changed back and because of this result, Jack has become a bit, well he has become Night Jack. He was covered in leather from head to toe and his chest had a guard over it. To top it all off, he had come in on a motorbike. Making no effort of moving his now parked bike right in front of the dinner's window. In which led to a result of the sides of the frame frosting over, but he did that on purpose. With a smirk, he walked right in as if he owned the place. Looking around, he noticed is favorite Fairy. He wasted no time making his way towards her. And just to give Ruby a noticed that he was here, to make her really notice, he sent a friendly cold chill down her back, without making it notable that it was him who did it. His smirk became more known when he stood before Trix.

"Did ya miss me?" He opened his arms a bit and wiggled his fingers as if to give me a hug now or never.

Anyone who knew or seen Jack before would know that this side of him wasn't normal to see during the day. Either there was something wrong or he had something to prove. None of which anyone would know.

"Listen girly." He whispered into her ear. "I've only come by for a short time and then I have to go again. I only came to give you this." He put it around her neck and there it hung. A necklace full of frosted glowing blue pixie dust. "It will thaw soon, don't worry. I thought you'd like it and let me tell you. That wasn't easy to find. Oh right, then there was this." He reached into the inside of his coat and pulled out a small wand. "Now this was given to me to give to you. I can't really say who I got it from, but they said when the time comes, you'll need it. It was odd, but whatever. I didn't bother asking anything because the person left before I could." It too was covered in frost.

But everything stopped once he heard Loup's howl. It was loud and almost painful to listen to. Frost shook his head and made a slight glance over to Ruby. Patting Trix's head he excused himself and softly placed his hand on Ruby's shoulder as if to say he'd take care of it himself. Leaving the diner just as fast as he came in. "Later Trixster!" A nickname he calls Trixie once in a while, it's like saying Trickster.

Location: Ruby's Dinner


"What a dreadful little town."

A beautiful black and white Panther de Ville pulled in front of Ruby's Dinner. Cruella, clad in black designer dress, opened the car door and stepped out, allowing smoke and 1930's Jazz to freely fill the air. She tossed her cigarette onto the ground, promptly stomping it out with a red bottom Louis Vuitton, and scanned the drab little town around her. "Absolutely dreadful." she said, shaking her head in disapproval.

"Jasper! Horace!" she called into the car. "Come along now, darlings." Two large Rottweilers jumped out of the back seats, quickly sitting by their mistress' side. Cruella slammed the car door and adjusted the black sun hat sitting atop her dual colored hair.

Cruella walked into the rather busy establishment. The air around her smelled of cigarettes, gin, and expensive perfume. The witch removed her hat as she sat down at the counter and flipped through a menu. She toyed with the diamond necklace around her throat as she skimmed the breakfast special

She had recently bought a large estate just outside of Crimson Grove and this would be her first appearance within the little shanty town. She would have to make a good impression if she was to produce her next coat in a timely manner. Oh how she wanted that big bad coat. She got the chills just thinking about it.

When a waitress came up to her, Cruella's red lips twisted into a pleasant smile. "Hello, Darling. I'll take a black coffee and an order of scrambled egg whites." One of the dogs below her growled in the direction of a sweaty shirtless boy, causing Cruella to smile internally. Perhaps she'd leave this horrid place with more than one new coat. She nudged the animal with her shoe and tsked at him in a disapproving tone. "Oh stop it you wretched thing!"

She looked back at the waitress. "Oh, Darling, one more thing if you don't mind." She cosied up to the counter, and leaned forward as if she were telling a secret. "You see my husband and I just moved into town and we're trying to get to know the community a little better. We're thinking about having a housewarming party and, well-" she smiled nervously and scrunched her nose, as if she were embarrassed. "I'm not really sure if we invited the locals that anyone would come. Do you think the people here would be open to having a soirรฉe at a complete stranger's house or is that idea just demented?"

She shook her head dismissively. "I'm sorry, Darling, you probably don't want a strange englishwoman asking your advice this early in the morning." Cruella smile sweetly at the waitress, then sighed and looked down at her bony hands. The Devil Woman would have this whole town eating out of her claws in no time.

The trio didn't fit together, as far as appearances went. They were cut from different cloth, one lace, one silk, and one suede. They were three walking stereotypes, a miniature Breakfast Club cast, thrown together by a twisted fate. The princess, with her ivory locks and contagious giggle. The brain, with his preppy outfit and awkward mannerisms. And the basket case, with her heavy boots picking fights with the cobblestones, and her hair catching the light, this day a pale lilac, although it was prone to change.

They walked side by side, and chattered amongst themselves as they entered the mysterious town that they had decided to stop by in for a little while. Of course, with them, a 'little while' could be between a couple of days to a month or so, and thus their conversation was less focused on how long they'd be staying in Crimson Grove and more about where they could find something to eat.

"I don't suppose you have any idea where you're going?" The 'brain' frowned pointedly at the purple-haired girl to his left, who seemed to be directing the group in every direction. In most cases, he would be enjoying himself at the prospect of a new environment, taking in the sights and admiring the architecture. However, at this current time, he and his two companions were rather deadset on something far more important: breakfast.

"Perhaps a map...?"

The girl responded snark that wasn't all that out of character, although the bluntness of it was certainly spurred by her empty stomach. "Oh, right, of course! A map! I'll just whip out my 'A to Z Atlas of Obscure Towns..." She feigned reaching into her back in search of the fictional book, before shooting him a withering look. In response, he only tutted.

"It's weird that this place is so unknown, though, right?" The 'princess' chipped in merrily, apparently far less prone to hunger-driven sulks that her friends. As she looked around, her eyes were wide with childlike enthusiasm, and her pale lips were curled into a smile. "I mean, it's pretty cute, and it's right by the seasi- Oh! Look!" She pointed eagerly to a shop sign, and the others followed her gesture before the faces broke into relieved smiles.

"About bloody time. I thought I was gonna starve to death." "You ate yesterday." "Your point is?"

With Ari now leading the way, the three entered the cafe. As they walked through the door, the bell above rang out with a cheery softness, as though welcoming them in. They moved over to a free table in the corner, sliding into the seats before immediately picking up the menus laid out on the smooth, polished wood.

Ari looked about the diner with the same enthusiastic smile she had wielded so prettily before, and nudged Irvyn in the arm, -at the same time prodding Gin's leg with her foot- to get their attention. "And this diner's cute, too! I don't get why we haven't visited this place before!"

Gin shrugged, still eyeing up the menu, in her head deciding on a bowl of fries and a strawberry thickshake. "I dunno. It is cute, I guess. A little weird, though."

Irvyn raised his eyebrows, perplexed, and Ari frowned curiously. "Weird? How so?"

Gin shrugged once more, trying to think up a reason for the odd feeling she got by being here, in this little town. It was strange, but she felt as though this place was... different. Different to all the other villages, cities, and towns that they'd wandered through before. Why? God knows.

"I dunno. It just is."

"Oh. It 'just is'. How very informative."

"Shut up."

"These items are at least worth a couple hundred each," Flynn said as he placed the array of stolen items on the counter inspection. The owner of the pawn shop starting looking at each of them. Gold placed a hand on her hip and stared at the at the pudgy man, with 'don't mess with me' eyes. One look at Gold, had the man clicking his tongue is annoyance. Let just say, Gold had blown her top here on more than one occasion.

"You're right. I'll give you $800 for the lot," the owner said eventually.

"Thanks," Flynn said accepting the money and grabbing Gold by the arm to force her to leave with him. Gold was annoyed, she had a serious rule about never taking the first amount offered, and Flynn knew it. "I know what you're thinking, we could have gotten more for it but this is good enough. Here," Flynn said once they were out of the pawn shop. He handed Gold her half of the money which she quickly pocketed, you couldn't be flashing that kind of cash, there were thieves in Crimson Grove.

"Easy for you to say, looking like this doesn't come cheap," Gold said defiantly as she gestured to her face. Though the message was somewhat lost in the fact that after a whole night of hard work, or as some people would say thieving, she looked slightly less than perfect. Remembering the hard work she had put in last night made her pause in the middle of the road and look back at the pawn shop, tossing up whether to go back and demand the money she felt her and Flynn were rightfully entitled to.

"Come on Gold, if you must you can yell at the man later. Right now we need to eat something," Flynn said as he walked off toward the diner, leaving Gold in the middle of the street.

"Fine." Gold cracked and ran off after Flynn, though she refused to admit he had won, and so instead she walked to paces in front of him with her nose in the air. "But only because I'm dying for a coffee."

They both walked into the Diner and Gold did what all good thieves do. She scanned the room. She saw nothing attention grabbing, Ruby, her new waitress, Trixie sitting at the counter, and a few others. "Got a new person. We need to keep an ear out to see if he has anything of value on him," Flynn whispered into Gold's ear. Okay, maybe the whole sleep deprivation thing was dulling her senses.

"Oh him? He's cute."She said as she watched him out of the corner of her eye and joined Flynn in the booth he had chosen. "I gotta say Flynn, I am loving these new-comers to Crimson Grove," She said low enough for only Flynn to hear.

Gold flipped through the menu, as she saw Dr. Weaver sit down next to the new guy. "Peter, correct? I've been waiting for you to arrive! Thank goodness you arrived safely." So the newcomer knew Dr. Weaver, that was certainly something, after all, Dr. Weaver was the very definition of a man with too much money.

That was when Gold stopped listening to the pair at the counter as her attention was stolen by the very luxurious black and white car that just pulled up outside the dinner. Gold knew it was an out-of-towner, since her chosen profession involved keeping tabs on all the rich people and their pricey possessions.

She watched as a woman left the car, and strutted into the diner. The woman was all old-school glamor. Dressed in expensive designer wear, bathed in a perfume Gold would never be able to afford and they way she commanded the room. She made the $400 in Gold's pocket feel like chump change. For the first time Gold was completely conflicted. She knew as a thief she should be scoping her out like she would any other potential victim. At the same time though, Gold's natural instinct was to watch in awe. She didn't want to rob this woman, she wanted to be this woman. Classy, elegant, glamorous and very, very rich. Gold looked to Flynn to and raised her eyebrows questioningly.

Dialogue Color: #ff2929 || Location: Ruby's Cafe/Diner

Image"Can I have pancakes with berries and syrup, please Ruby? And do you still have that berry tea. If you don't, I'll just have a normal tea." she heard the little fairy question and just like every other time before, she would nod her head and write down her order among the others she had heard from the patrons at the counter. "Of course I still have the berry tea. I honestly kept it around because it's your favorite," she stated before turning back towards the new blonde guy who apparently seemed to know the doctor.

"Why good morning Miss Hood, how is your father doing?" She sighed and just shrugged her shoulders, "Just as he was months ago. There has been no change." Ruby honestly just wished her father would hurry up and return to normal. It would be so much easier to help him change his ways without his wolf getting in the middle of all the decisions he chooses to make.

"Oh, I'll take a coffee, if you don't mind." Ruby jotted down his coffee order before stepping back into the kitchen and placed Trixie's order upon the line with the other orders and she immediately started fixing Trixie and Remus's drinks. After a couple minutes, she stepped out with the coffee and tea before setting them down in front of the two of them. "Your pancakes will be out in five minutes," she stated to her best friend. At that moment she thought back to Belle, wondering how she was doing this morning. Maybe she'd stop by back and home and check on her father and Belle during lunch.

Just when she thought the rest of the morning was going to go by so plainly she noticed Flynn and Gold step inside and take a seat after studying all of the customers who were inside. Ruby immediately felt for Gretel, seeing as how she had to deal with taking those thieves orders. Ruby just hoped they wouldn't attempt taking things from her shop. She didn't want to get the police involved, again. That was the last thing on her list of things to do, ever.

Ruby chuckled a bit when she noticed Eric's dog running off again, something that happened almost every morning Eric took Max out for a walk. She shook her head and returned her attention back to the customers in the diner. Just then the bell rang for her to grab Trixie's food.

Ruby walked back into the kitchen, retrieved the food and set it down in front of Trixie. "Here you go," just as she spoke she noticed Jack Frost step inside.

She stepped away from Trixie, knowing that he was going to speak to her among all people and she didn't want to make either of them feel like she was just wanting to be in the middle of their business, so she began making herself busy. Just as she stepped away, she felt a freezing chill down her spine. She shivered a bit and glanced over at Jack with a soft smile, knowing it had to be him. When she got cold chills, they never felt like ice, so there was no other reason for it. Deep down Ruby wished she would be able to get to know Jack instead of just knowing what she sees.

After a couple moments, Ruby heard her father howling. She immediately dropped what she was doing and was getting ready to run out after her father, but Jack stopped her. He placed his hand upon her shoulder, sending an immense amount of cold chills throughout her body, he was going to take care of her father for her. "Thanks," was all she managed to say before he went on his way. She hoped her father was alright.

The brunette leaned over to Trixie and eyed the necklace and wand she had in her hand, "What was that about?" she questioned before looking over at Flynn who seemed to have a huge eye on Trixie's new possessions. "Now you might want to put those items out of sight before a couple hands get a hold of them," she whispered, signaling towards Flynn and Gold.
Image
Though once again, she was interrupted by another newcomer, a rather glamorous one at that matter. Though she just couldn't help but feel like there was something dangerous about that woman. She watched as she sat down at one of the booths before attempting to start up a conversation with Gretel. Ruby sighed when she noticed three more people stepping inside and figured that she mind as well give Gretel a bit of help with the tables.

Ruby stepped out from behind the counter and stepped up to the table where the three newcomers sat. "Hello, I'm Ruby Hood, I'll be your waitress this morning. What could I get you?" she questioned.

Before Trixie got her answer from the newcomer, the doctor came in and sat beside him. "Peter, correct? I've been waiting for you to arrive! Thank goodness you arrived safely." Peter?! No. No, it couldn't be. He was much too old. She was just too used to associating that name with one person in particular. She took a sip out of the newly arrived tea to steady herself a bit. Of course it wasn't Peter. She would have recognised him. "Thank you!" she said as Ruby put the pancakes down in front of her.

She glanced up as the door opened again and grinned. In walked Jack Frost, her favourite person in the world. As he held his arms out for a hug, she scrambled down off of the stool and wrapped her arms around him tightly. She'd never minded the cold that came with hugging him. It was only as she let go that she realised how long it had been since she'd seen him... and that he was in his night form. That wasn't right, the sun was well and truly up now. Before she could ask any questions, he spoke, whispering to her. His breath was cold, but she was so used to it that she didn't flinch.

"Listen girly. I've only come by for a short time and then I have to go again. I only came to give you this." She frowned at him, but that soon faded into a look of fascination at the glowing blue pixie dust. She hadn't known it turned that colour when it was frozen. it was pretty. "It will thaw soon, don't worry. I thought you'd like it and let me tell you. That wasn't easy to find. Oh right, then there was this." Her frown returned briefly, until she took the wand from him. At first, she thought it was made of ice due to its temperature. But as it warmed in her hand and still didn't thaw, she realised that it was a proper wand. Confusion furrowed her brow. "Now this was given to me to give to you. I can't really say who I got it from, but they said when the time comes, you'll need it. It was odd, but whatever. I didn't bother asking anything because the person left before I could."

Trixie opened her mouth to say something, but before she could get a word in edgeways, there was a howl that sent an entirely different kind of shivers down her spine. There was a clatter as Ruby put something down rather hard, but then Jack was over, putting a hand on her shoulder. Trixie swallowed, refusing to acknowledge the jealousy that she could feel bubbling in the pit of her stomach. And then Jack was going as quickly as he came, calling out his pet name for her as he left. She turned back in to her food, studying the wand carefully. It was only as Ruby spoke again that she was jolted out of her reverie. "What was that about?" She hesitated, but before she answered, Ruby whispered a warning about Flynn and Gold. She nodded, leaving the pixie dust around her neck and putting the wand into her backpack. The pixie dust would be safe around her neck, and she sat the backpack on her lap as she started to eat.

The door opened yet again- the diner really was busy this morning. But the woman who walked in was unfamiliar. Trixie immediately became uneasy, and watched her sit a few seats away. She could smell the expensive perfume and gin from her seat, but that wasn't what was making her uncomfortable. That woman had magic. Bad magic. Trixie eyed the dogs cautiously. They looked like the type to bite- and especially at fairies. She scanned the diner, wanting to warn Ruby and Gretel, but Ruby was serving another group that had just entered, and Gretel had already been snared by the woman. She picked up her tea and pancakes and moved a bit closer to the woman, resisting the temptation to hold her breath.

"Sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing. My name's Trixie, I live in town. I'd certainly love to come to your... soiree. But you'll have to excuse me, I'm a little nervous around dogs," she said, shrugging a little and eying the dogs cautiously. She wasn't usually, but she was nervous around those dogs. If she could sneak some pixie dust out of her bag, she could deal with them, but she wasn't taking any chances with this woman. She had no interest in going to the party, but certainly wanted to check her out. See if she could find her intentions.

"Good morning Antonio, have a nice run?" "You bet." he cheerfully answered before turning his attention towards the menu. Everything on it always sounded so good to him but them again Andy would eat anything, he was a person big on food. Finally his eyes landed on what he wanted to eat, pancakes with blueberry syrup, scrambled eggs and bacon. If there was one thing Andy was good at then it was definitely eating and a lot. The wolf boy was about to get up when Trixie walked in and gave everyone a smile and greeting. Andy being himself smiled back and gave her a small wave. Then right after another person walked in, a blonde-ish male. Andy hadn't seen him around town but then again he doesn't think he had met everyone yet so he brushed it off as one of the towns people he hasn't met yet but his assumption was corrected when he heard Ruby greet him. She had welcomed him to Crimson Grove so obviously the guy wasn't from here.

Making a mental note to introduce himself later, Andy once again got distracted by Flynn who walked in with his sidekick. Honestly Andy had no problem with the little blonde even if she may have a problem with him or not but Flynn was another case. Andy sometimes wanted to get along with the guy but when he got shady and tried to steal from Ruby the couple of times since Andy's been here it got him a bit annoyed but whatever, the guy hasn't done anything yet so they were on good terms until then. Next came a tall man with a cane that Antonio only saw about once or twice around town, he was the towns doctor if he remembered correctly. Next was Jack, he walked in and exchanged some words with Trixie when all of a sudden that loud howl pierced through Andy's ears.

He sat up stiff as he looked out the large window towards were the sound came from with his head slowly titling sideways. His eyes flashed red for what seemed like a split second and he could see his reaction in the glass. Hearing some plates clatter behind him he turned to see Ruby looking worried and about to run out of here when Jack stopped her. Andy just stared at her, he didn't mean to honestly but he gave her that same curious tilt of the head that he just did. Was there someone else out there like him and Ruby in this town? His ears picked up on the door bell that chimed when it was open and a strong scent hit his nose. An odd mix of cigarette smoke and perfume came off this tall, fancy looking woman.

There was something off about her that Andy couldn't put his finger on but the dogs are what distracted him quickly from her. One growled at him but Andy couldn't help but to stare at them with a goofy grin and a childish gleam in his eyes once more. Andy loved all dogs no matter how big or small they were or how they acted or looked. He adored the slobbering and yapping creatures. Getting up from the booth with menu in hand he trotted over to the counter and took a seat next to the woman. If the lad had a tail, it'll be wagging all over the place right now. Flashing his wolf eyes down at the dogs for a second he then reached down to pet the closest to him. It let him without protest and Andy rubbed his ears before smiling over to the woman then at Gretel. " Hey, your working here now?" he asked curiously before continuing with his order. "I'll have pancakes with blueberry syrup, scrambled eggs and bacon please."
Image
The wolf boy sat there waiting for his food while the woman next to him began talking to Gretel, he tried not to be nosy but since he was sitting next to her there was no way to not listen to her. The diner was getting pretty busy wasn't it? He thought to himself when he heard the door open again. Right there is when an all too familiar scent punched Antonio in the nose. His head quickly jerked over the group of three that just walked in. Among them was a face he knew too well because he had knew her before he even cursed by the wolf. He blinked a couple of times making sure what he saw was real and not just some trick of hunger but no matter how many times he blinked she was still there. In all honestly he thought she was dead, not turning back was one of his regrets when she told him to run. How depressed he and Amelia were after that.

He thought he lost a dear friend, one of his most treasured people, one out of a handful of people he considered family. Gin was among others though, a pale, beautiful girl who's face seemed vaguely familiar and a young man who reminded Andy of a rabbit. Something felt off about her too and once again he couldn't stop his staring and that tilt of the head he did when he was curious about something. Half of him wanted to jump out of his chair and hug Gin but the other half wasn't so sure that she recognized him.

Location: Ruby's Cafe

Peter looked up and grinned at the dark headed waitress. "Everything actually." He told her with a smile. He rubbed his chin as he looked at the menu. "I think I'll have a Ruby's special. With berries on the pancakes. And... four extra pieces of bacon." He told her with a smile. He looked up at him. "Instead of coffee, I'd like to have a hot chocolate with whipped cream if it's okay. Also so orange juice and water." He told her.

"Hello. I'm Trixie. What's your name?" He looked over to see a petite girl a few seats away he opened his mouth to a reply when he suddenly, a man was sitting next to him. He looked over at him. He was a bit surprised at being called nephew but that made sense. It this man knew him, he must be related to him.

"Yes, Uncle. A nice man brought me to the edge of town." He said, shaking his hand. He turned back to the small girl, inclining his head. "Peter Panning."

She looked terrified but he didn't get a chance to ask him what was wrong due to the fact that she was hurrying off to embrace another man. He shrugged and turned back to his uncle. "I'm sorry, I don't really remember you... or getting a message to come here. Then again my memory has been failing me as of late." He scratched the back of his head.
