Since Wirt knew Greg was safe, a big weight have been lifted of his shoulder. He was in a big relief to know that Greg wasn't in danger so he let himself rest in the Tavern while waiting for Beatrice. There he was, he was drinking some grape juice with (Y/n) while chatting.

"So it was all misunderstanding." (Y/n) cock her head.

Wirt nodded. "Yeah. Actually it was the Woodsman who blew off the lantern to destroy the Beast." He shrugged,

(Y/n) lean on the chair she was sitting on and take another sip of her grape juice, nodding at Wirt's explanation. Then she chuckled.

"Heh. Funny, you haven't even realize it yet." She said.

"Realize? What do you mean?" Wirt asked her.

Indeed, Wirt never realize it now. No matter how much people tell him ghat, he doesn't them. Thats what people are these days, in what (Y/n) viewed.

"I mean you destroyed the Beast's secret. Without your mouth or words, the Woodsman would always cut edelwood trees forever, thinking that it was his daughter all along." She explained, poking at Wirt's nose.

Wirt blushed and jerk (Y/n)'s hand away since he's not very comfortable of her doing that.

"So no one never knews the Lamp is his weakness or something?" Wirt drank another grape juice.

She nodded.

Wirt was a bit fluttered that his presence in  the Unknown clearly have his own purpose but right now, he need to get Greg home. Who knows what'll happen to the two of them, yeah he misses the folks in here but he cant just stay. The laat time his parents got worried, they cried non-stop, telling them they miss them. He doesn't want to let that happen again.

"Well, thanks for uhhh that one." He scratched his back head.

"You still look like a nerd to me though." She commented and smirk at Wirr's reaction.

"Haha very funny." Wirt playfully rolled his eyes.

She laughed at Wirt's reaction though Wirt saw a glimpse of sadness in her eyes that made him stop glaring at her and replace into a concerned look.

"Hey, uhh wh-" Suddenly he was interrupted by the music that the band were playing.

The Tavern Keeper join the stage and started to hum along the music. Wirt looked at (Y/n) who was watching them so he decided to watch along.

"Oh its soon started to get scary,
Another monster coming in with no weary~

Please beware with your stuff and health
For the Bad Little Red Hiding Hood comes along with stealth." The Tavern Keeper pull out of a wanted poster that showed a girl wearing a black hood that covers her eyes.

"Bad Little Red Riding Hood?" Wirt muttered.

"Beware, our Pilgrim for no one knows if she's there or here
Her basket hold upon treasures, her dagger swipe through your fears!~"

The Tavern Keeper made a puppet shadow that showed two figures. One killing another. All the crowd gasp as Wirt started to listen more. Somehow he felt a little deja vu by just listening to the lyrics.

"A poor girl was lost in the woods,
Sadly turn into a bad girl with no goods

For she's a thief in our night,
Hopefully someone will get her and bring light

Oooh where was that angel in this world,
Who have fallen down on the hands of a wolf, worse
Hopefully someone will get the poor lost girl
In that bad wolf's curse . . ." Then the song ended.

The crowd started cheering for her and she bowed and continue on her sweeping as another song started playing.

"Thats the Black Thief's theme song." (Y/n) poked Wirt's forehead that made him snap out.

"Black Thief? What do they all mean?" Soon, another curiousity arised from Wirt's eyes.

"Oh that, it became another legend and stuff like that. Why? Interested over that rumour?" Her lips twitched into a smirk. Seemingly enjoyed to talk more.

Wirt nodded as a reply for her. He leaned forward and listened more as (Y/n) started to explain about the rumour.

"Ohh, well I gotta say, the rumours are true, the Tavern Keeper always spread rumours that are true. Just like when the Tavern Keeper told you guys that your friend name Beatrice I guess, isn't allowed here since she felt it. She feel who's lying or not." She explained, motioning a waiter for another drink.

"Is that why she used to hit Beatrice off this tavern cause she knew Beatrice is lying?" Wirt asked.

"Yeah, kind of like that." She shrug.

"Wait, wait, how'd you my friend's name is Beatrice?" Wirt suddenly realize it.

"Uhm, the Tavern Keeper told me," Soon, her order has arrived and (Y/n) happily took it. "Anyway, we're getting off topic here. This rumour about the bad Red Riding Hood girl, she was actually a very famous thief. No frog cop or someone could get her." She yawned.

Wirt chuckled. "A thief? Why would they be scared of a little girl thief?" He laugh a bit.

Suddenly their table have been slammed by the Tavern Keeper's palm with a judhing look on her eyes.

"Not just a thief, Pilgrim, for that little thief is a coldblooded murderer." Her eyes widened and grab a chair to join in.

"Ok, lady. Go ahead and explain Bad Hoody girl, I'm just gonna drimk some juice." (Y/n) shrugged and started chugging some juice.

"A murderer? L-Like animal murderer, right?" Wirt stuttered, horrified to hear a killer in the forest.

"Oh, much more worse than that, Prilgrim. She kills men, women and sadly children in your age, Pilgrim." The Tavern Keeper's facial showed pity of the victims of the rumoured thief.

"Oh my . . ." Wirt gasped.

"Yes, it was horrible ever since you and your brother left this forest. I've seen her with my own eyes." She mentioned.

"What does she look like?" He asked.

"Just like what the others have described. She wore a long black robe that dance along with the cold wind, a belt of daggers wrapped around her waist, daggers that thurst with blood. She brings along with her basket, ready to steal some precious treasure. But alas, no one have found or saw her face alive." She described, remembering some details.

Wirt's head started to filled up with worry and fear. If there was a killer in the loose that would mean . . .

Greg . . .

He gasped and grab (Y/n)'s hand while standing up which made her jolted in surprise.

"(Y/n)! Lets go to your house and get my brother!"
