The Wolf & The Thief

Chapter 1: Bigby

You were quickly woken by the feeling of your body smacking into the floor. Groaning, you rubbed your head sitting up. Early morning light streamed in through the window, directly into your face. Sighing you got up, glancing at the clock.

"Time to go to work," you sighed to yourself.

You sipped away at your coffee as you walked down the New York streets towards the Woodlands. Upon entering you looked towards Grimble and giggled.

"As always," you sighed summoning the elevator.

Upon entering the elevator someone followed behind you.

"Oh, Robbin! Hi I didn't see you."

"Beast I know you saw me or you wouldn't have stopped the elevator," you stated flatly.

His eyes widened slightly as he rubbed the back of his head.

"What do you need Beast?" You questioned impatiently.

"Oh, sorry, have you seen-"

"I'm staying out of this," you interupted, pushing him out of the way of the elevator doors. "You two are having to much problems lately and I'm not getting involved."

The doors closed before Beast could insist and you let out a sigh as the elevator rose to the Buisness Office. You exited the elevator and entered the office.

"Hello Robbin." You looked at Snow standing by the phone and nodded. "Just as cold as usual. I know you hate this place but this is home now."

"This will never be home," you mumbled, making your way into the far back of the room. "Bufkin where are you?"

You waited patiently for the flying monkey and smiled slightly when he appeared.

"What are we doing today Miss?" He asked nicely, knowing how short your temper was.

Your face saddened slightly as you looked away for a moment.

"We are recording all deceased Fables today," you replied softly.

"I-I understand miss," he hesitated before flying off to grab the books you needed.

He caught the sight of your flask in your back pocket, and a sly smirk crossed his face before he dashed for it, grabbing it and flying off.

"Bufkin!!" You screamed running back towards the front of the room after the bastard. "I'm not in the mood Bufkin!"

As you were running you caught the sound of other voices in the Buisness Office, but you were to caught up in the chase to care. Suddenly you tripped and flew forward and smacked into Snow's desk.

"F-Fuck," you groaned.

"Robbin?!"

You slowly stood at the sound of Snow's voice and sighed, squeezing your eyes shut.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Bufkin is just being a little sh-," you froze when you reopened your eyes.

You would recognize those deep, dark, brown eyes anywhere. Quickly you made your way to his side, taking in the sent of wolf.

"I'd recognize you anywhere Wolf," you smirked.

"Do I know you?" His voice was rough and deep and sent chills down your spine.

Slowly you backed away and met his gaze and something snapped, recognition filling his eyes.

"Robbin?"

You smiled brightly.

"The one and only."

"You two know eachother?" You turned to Snow and nodded.

"You never told me your full name," you turned back to Wolf as he spoke.

Still you never replied and only smirked.

"Her name is Robbin. Robbin Hood."

"What?" He gasped. "I thought Robbin was a boy."

"My brother and I shared the same name," you said quietly.

Snow sensed your sadness and placed her hand on your shoulder, showing you didn't need to continue.

"I should go," you began making your way toward the door. "If you see Bufkin tell him I'm gonna skin his sorry ass."

You left the office, walking back to the elevator.

"Robin, wait," you turned as Wolf ran up to you.

"Wolf, what is it?"

"Well first off call me Bigby," he stated with a half smile. "Second I was wondering if you'd want to go out to eat or something. After you just up and left after you helped me I becane curious about who you are. Now I can finally get to know you."

You were silent for a moment considering what he said before nodding.

"Yeah. That'd be nice. I just need to go back to my appartment real fast if that's alright," Bigby gave you a half smile. "You can come with me if you'd like or you can meet me wherever we are going."

"I'll just come with you. It's easier," he sighed.

"Alright," you replied before walking off, Bigby right behind you.
