'Walking out on to the streets of Fabletown can be very extravagant. A lot of interesting people live here' the cab driver explained "oh really?" I said " interesting in what way?"

"you ask a lot of questions girly, how would you like it if someone goes to your job and starts interviewing you? " the cab driver snapped. "whats your favorite book?" I slid back in my seat and thought about my answer "little red riding hood" I said "the children's book?" the cab driver asked "dont ask me if you dont like the answer" I snapped "you can stop here " paying the cab driver and getting out.

I take out my phone and check the time."10:46pm" I said out loud. I start to walk past a alley and my bag strap breaks making the contents inside slip out. I sigh and pick up my things. I notice my ring roll down the alley and I go to pick it up and lose it in the darkness. "great!" I yelled

Then I feel somthing watching me and turn towards the alley. i see something glowing then its gone "is anyone there?" I yelled into the alley and the glow returns. The glow is fading and turns into a set of hazel eyes. "come out, I wont hurt you!" i
I yelled again. The eyes come forward out of the darkness and a silhouette of a person can be seen. The person says something but i can barely hear "can you speak up for me?" I asked.

The person speaks again but louder "my arm." from his voice I can tell the person is a male. "I can help you but you have to come out" I explained. the figure steps out.

He has brown shoulder length hair, and has a stubble for a beard. "whats wrong with your arm?" I asked. He shows me his arm and I can see the bone for his forearm coming out. I start to panick. "is there a hospital around here?" I asked him " just get me home,please" he said "where do you live?" I asked "follow me" he said.

I follow him to a building called woodlands. "im feeling drowsy" he said. "what floor do you stay on?" I asked. "Floor 3" he answered. I can see that his eyelids are getting heavy. I slap him softly on the face for him to wake up. "dont die on me yet" i said softly. I knew I had to make conversation or he will pass out. " my name is Prim, whats yours?" I asked. "Bigby." He answered "Bigby? thats a nice name." I said the elavator dings opens and I help bigby inside. I clicked the third floor button and the doors start to close. " how did that happen?" I asked "I cant tell you" Bigby said with a frown on his face. "why?" I asked "you ask a lot of questions dont you Prim?" Bigby teased "ive been told" I said with a slight smirk. "just trying to make conversation" the elavator dings open again and I help Bigby out and follow him to his apartment.

I see him struggling with his keys "Dammit get in the key hole" Bigby muttered. I decide to grab the keys from him and open the door."thanks" Bigby said "no problem." I said helping Bigby to his chair."can you pass me the phone?" Bigby asked pointing to the phone. I hand him the phone and he dials a number.

"Swineheart ugh i need your help." Bigby said. he then hangs up the phone and sighs. "you know you can leave right?"Bigby said "i know, i just want to make sure your ok before i leave." I said "alrighty then" Bigby said.

Then someone knocks on the door. "come in Swineheart!" Bigby yelled. the door swings open and Swineheart and a woman come in. "Bigby! what happened?" the woman said ignoring me completely. Bigby motions his head towards me and the woman turns to look at me. "oh hi i didnt see you there" the woman said. "hello" i said. the woman turns to Bigby "who is she? is she a mundy?" the woman whispered why did she call me a mundy whats a mundy i thought. Bigby coughs up blood.

"ok Bigby i need to move the bone in place, its gonna hurt like hell." Swineheart said. bigby nods and grips the chair arms. Swineheart puts the bone in place and Bigby leans forward in pain, his eyes glowing ember. Swineheart puts cloth around Bigby's wound and leaves. "thanks Swineheart." Bigby said "no problem Mister Wolf"Swineheart said disapering down the hallway. Bigby sighs and walks into his tiny kitchen. the woman follows him "you didnt answer my question Bigby." the woman said "yes Snow she is a mundy" Bigby said "but she looks helpful, i think we should tell her."

"tell me what?" i asked Snow sighs "if you think its the best thing to do then fine." Snow said "Prim, we are different from people here." i lift my eyebrow in confusion and look at Bigby. "We're fables Prim." Bigby said taking a sip out of his beer bottle. "fables? like the fairytales?" i asked both nodded.

"wait does that mean your Snow White"i asked "nice to meet you" Snow said with a smile. i looked at Bigby "i never heard of a fairytale with a bigby before." i said "really? you dont know who i am?" Bigby said pouting. "wait let me guess...Bigby...Big-by Wolf... Wait" i said narrowing my eyes "are you the big bad wolf?" "the one and only!"Bigby said with a smile.

my face lit up."can i ask you a question?sorry i just dont want to be rude." i said "go for it." Bigby said taking another sip out of his beer. "do you have a scar from where the woodsman cut you open and stuffed you with stones?" i asked my eyes full of wonder.Bigby chokes a little on his beer. Snow pats him on the back."sorry that was rude." i said "no you were just curious." bigby said "how about this you come to work with us and i will answer all your questions deal?" Bigby said putting his hand out."deal." i said shaking it. i yawned "im tired anyway,see ya tomorrow." i said walking out of the door.

" and Prim," bigby said stopping me from leaving. "welcome to fabletown" Bigby said with a smile "thank you" I said returning the smile and walking out the door.
