Hunters and Birds

"You don't know what you're talking about!" The woman on the right remarked, coldly. Her black eyes were cold as she glared at the man on her left, her slim, pointed, nose was up turned as she scoffed at the man, who only sighed and pinched his much broader nose. He slowly removed his hand from his face and smiled apologetically at the Sheriff and Deputy.

(Y/n) seemed embarrassed, her cheeks were a bright red as she wore a shaky smile, she giggled softly, and shook her head dismissively, "No, it's fine, if you're busy-"

"No, no, please... " Mr. Poe glared at the girl who sighed and sat down again, shaking her head in disapproval. "Now, you asked to see me?"

(Y/n) tilted her head slightly, giving a small nod.

"You said there was a marking?" The raven spoke, standing and reaching for his books as the crow gently grabbed her hand and twisted it a few times, raising a curious brow. Mr. Poe sat back down and his eyes met the detectives. "May I see it?"

(Y/n) seemed hesitant, and Bigby gently grabbed her shoulder, "I can step out if you need me too. " Bigby didn't need to see the fear in her eyes again, he didn't need his heart to hurt like that again. (Y/n) smiled apologetically,

"Please... " she mumbled, sadly. Bigby nodded and stood up, leaving the room and standing outside the door. He listened to the three talk for a moment, before his eyes wandered to the staircase.

"She wasn't listening or paying attention to anyone. "

"It's fine, I just cut my hand on some glass. "

"She showed me, I mean, not intentionally..."

"you tried to eat me. "

"And now I know that this stupid symbol on my hand can make people transfer back to their past selves. "

"They're home." Bigby's eyes widened slightly, as he glanced at the elevator doors, a couple  walked in, continuing their conversation, "I called before we got here, so I know they are. "

Bigby shook his head slightly, before staring back at the stairway. Images of what the mirror had shown him flashed through his mind again, and his brows furrowed as he tried not to remember watching the little girl turn to ash. He shook his head slightly, and glanced at the door to the Raven's office. Sighing softly, he moved from the door and to the stairs. Walking up the spiral of seemingly never ending stairs, Bigby made it to Snow's office. He walked inside the library, examining the officers who were investigating the shelves and books that had traces of the deputy's blood still visible. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it as he walked down a few more shelves, away from where the investigation was taking place.

He silently examined the books, noticing their odd organization, and found something out of place.

"Bufkin. " Bigby called out, earning a small groan, before the flying monkey appeared at his side,

"Yes?"

"What book was here?" Bigby questioned curiously, earning a curious hum from Bufkin as he examined the section they were in, and the books surrounding the empty space. Bufkin hummed again, and turned to fly off, immediately bumping into Mr. Poe, who stood in front of Deputy (l/n) they both stared curiously before the deputy spoke up,

"There you are. " she hummed and glanced back at the investigators, before back at the sheriff, "I thought something happened. "

"No, I'm fine. " Bigby scratched the back of his neck, quietly enjoying that she was worried about him. Then his eyes landed on the book in the Raven's hand, he raised a brow at the man, who hummed and glanced down at the book, before jumping slightly,
