Chapter 1 Welcome To Fabletown
(A/N: WARNING!!! This story contains strong language, violence and sexual themes.
If you don't care or are okay with this, then enjoy the story! Also, for those who don't know The Wolf Among Us is a video game that's a prequel to a comic book series called Fables.
I highly recommend the comics cuz they are so good, it's basically a very mature story with all the fairy tales characters, i.e. Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Boy Blue, The Big Bad Wolf, and many more!
It's really interesting! If you're interested I suggest check them out! This story is focusing on the game that came out about four years ago. And again, I highly recommend you guys should play this game if you haven't. The game is a choice based game, meaning the story is tailored by how you play it. This is gonna be based on my playthrough of the game! If you wanna know different outcomes of the game, either play it for yourself or look it up on YouTube.
Anyway, enough of my rambling enjoy the story!)
Tenement Building
South Bronx
Sometime after Midnight
A lone yellow taxi runs down the empty quiet road. The sky an inky black color with a few stars strewn about. The yellow cab finally pulls up to a three story shabby looking building and the two back doors of the cab open as two figures climb out and shut them.
One figure was a woman with (h/l) (h/c) hair and wearing boots, a pair of jeans, a (fav color) dress shirt and a black leather jacket. She had a holster wrapped around her right thigh with a long dagger concealed inside of the holster. This was (y/n) (l/n), younger sister of Snow White.
The other figure was a tall brown haired man, muscular, and he wore black pants, black shoes and a white collared shirt with a black tie loosely tied around his neck. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out and began to light it. This was Bigby Wolf, aka the Big Bad Wolf.
The two of you walk up to the building as Bigby pulls out a piece of paper with writing on it:
Toad's
254 Barretto St
The Bronx
Both you and Bigby look at the note then at each other, nodded, and made your way to the building.
Bigby opens the door and the two of you see a three foot toad standing on his hind legs, wearing a green sweater and black sweat pants. He was standing at the bottom of the stairs, starring up at it. "Mr Toad." Bigby said, startling the creature. "Shit..." you heard him mumble before he turns to you two and greeted, in an English accent. "Bigby! (y/n)! Listen, mates I know I don't look human. It's a problem, I get it, I just stepped out the apartment for just a second to see what kind of damage this drunk shit is doing! Just cut me a break, yeah? I'll get me glamour first thing in the morning."
You crossed your arms as you stared at the creature as he continues. "Cross my heart. No need to kick up a fuss."
"We've heard enough of your excuses, Toad. This is unacceptable." said Bigby.
"If you can't afford to look human, you're going to The Farm. It's as simple as that." You informed Toad. "You two can't send me up to live with those animals..." Toad said, desperately. You and Bigby stare at him, eyebrows raised. "You know what I mean." Toad said, annoyed.
"Go see a witch. Get a glamour." Bigby said, firmly.
"Bigby, they're bleedin' me dry, mate. The quality of the spell goes down, but the rates keep climbing up! Do you two have any idea how much it costs to have an entire family in glamour?" Toad asked while above you, you could hear stuff being thrown around.
"We don't make the rules. Sorry." You said to Toad and he begins to look down, sadly. "We can't give you a free pass on this, Toad. Our hands are tied." Bigby told him.
"Right, right." Toad said in a defeated tone.
"There's too much at stake." You said, feeling alittle bad for him.
"Whatever it costs, it's worth it. You don't want us catching you out of glamour again." said Bigby just as you heard a crash behind you. You turned and saw a TV set broken on the sidewalk.
"Fuckin' hell!" Toad exclaims. "See? This is what I called you two about. You two just gonna stand there? Do something, mates. Before he completely tears up the place."
You look up the staircase as Bigby tosses his cigarette aside. "We should probably go handle this." He said and the two of you head up the stairs. "Yes, please. Thank you!" Toad said after you two.
"....you're gonna know who I fuckin' am. You hear me? Hey! Look at me!" You hear a deep gravelly man's voice shout as you and Bigby make it to the top. "Just stop, okay? You're drunk!" A woman's voice shouts back at the man as bangs and thuds were heard through out the hallway. "Take a look! Take a good look! Know who I am now? Hey! Look at me!" The man shouted again as you and Bigby make it over to the door on the right at the end of the hall.
Bigby lifts up his right leg and kicks the door in. Inside, you see a tall bald man with a long brown beard, brown pants and a green plaid shirt and brown shoes. He was standing in front of a woman, who had black hair that came to her jawline. She was wearing a short black skirt, black high heels and a green tub top. A purple ribbon was tied around her neck and you noticed that she had bruises on her arms and her eye.
"Damn you!" The man shouted and he slaps the woman in the face, causing her to fall backwards. "Whoa, whoa, Hey! Hey!" You and Bigby shouted as both of you run in the room. You run over to the girl as Bigby goes over to the man and slams him up against the wall.
"You got something on your face." The girl said as she walks up to the man. "The fuck are you talking about you stupid cu..." Before the man could finish the girl spits blood in his face. The man glares and growls at her while Bigby holds him as best as he could and you pull the girl away from the man. "Alright, what happened?" Bigby starts to ask until the man headbutts Bigby, who stumbles back a bit.
The man starts to crack his neck and says. "What're you gonna fuckin' do? Huh? Get the fuck out of the way before you get the axe again."
"You're drunk, alright? Think this through. If you keep on like this, I won't have any choice but to put you down, Woody." Bigby threatened. "Put ME down?! You've got a shit fuckin' memory, Wolf. That's not how it went last time." Woody growled. "This isn't last time." Bigby said.
Suddenly, Woody begins to charge at Bigby and raised his fist. Before he could punch Bigby, Bigby grabs his fist, spins Woody's arm behind his back but Woody headbutts Bigby with the back of his head. Bigby shoves Woody's arm into his back then he shoved Woody to the broken down couch at the corner of the room. He topples on the couch, making it fall backwards.
"Had enough?" Bigby asked him as he walks up to the toppled couch. But Woody, using his legs, shoves the couch toward him making him fall back.
"At least make this a fuckin' challenge." Woody said as he gets up. Bigby shakes his head as Woody grabs him by the collar and pulls him up. Bigby places his right hand on top of Woody's head, bends it back and throat punches him.
Woody begins to cough and sputter as he lets go of Bigby and places his hands over his throat. You run over to Woody, grabbed his arm and throw him on a bed that had no mattress on it. You place your knee on his chest and began to punch him repeatedly in the face. Woody punches you in the face, knocking you back but Bigby grabs Woody and throws him against the bookshelf, next to the girl.
"Back off, asshole!" She shouted as Woody grabs a lamp and starts to swing it at you and Bigby but both of you dodge the object. Bigby kicks the back of Woody's right leg and you slam his head against the wall. Bigby picks him up and throws him off to the side.
Woody wipes his nose with the back of his hand, picks up an axe and he starts to swing it at Bigby. He dodges it and grabs the other end of the axe. The two began to play tug of war until Bigby slams the end of the axe handle into Woody's stomach. Then Bigby raises the axe and smacks Woody's face with the side of the blade, knocking him back.
"Shit." You said, breathlessly, as the two of you catch your breath. "You okay?" Bigby asked you. You nod as Bigby tosses the axe aside and turns to the girl. "You should probably get out of here." He said.
"Look, I'm not leaving until I get what's mine." The girl replied, crossing her arms over her chest. "Yer nod geddin shid, bidch." Woody growled. You knew from the way he was talking his jaw was broken. "Aisle fuhged puhd yew in de grounnd."
"Say that word, one more time...." Bigby growled.
"Wud? Bidch?" Woody asked and Bigby kicks Woody in the face. "What did I say?!" Bigby shouted, angrily. "Yew fuuuuhggger." Woody groans as he places his hand on his jaw.
The girl pulls out her compact mirror and starts to look at her bruised eye as Woodsman said. "Fuhged....shid....yew bogue buy jaw, yew badturd."
"And still you talk." You said, exasperated.
"Fug gyoo." Woody said.
You walk up to the girl and asked. "What the hell is going on? What happened?"
"A little misunderstanding that turned into a real shit show. Don't worry. You two saw all the best bits." The girl said. "Ders moar where dad cameb frumb, gurlie." Woody said to her. "Knock it off!" Bigby shouted at him.
"Look, this is just the start of a shitty night for me. I just need the money he owes me, then I can go." said the girl.
"Are you alright?" You asked her.
"I'm hunky dory. Thanks for asking." She replied.
"What's your name?" Bigby asked.
"Whatever you'd like it to be, handsome." The girl said to him.
"Don't make this more difficult than it has to be." You said, exasperated.
"Sorry, Deputy. Wouldn't want to add any difficulty to yours and the Sheriff's night." She said.
"Why was he hitting you?" Bigby asked her.
The girl folds her arms across her chest, closes her eyes and sighs. "He asked me if I recognized him...knew who he was...I said I didn't. He started beating on me. Then you two showed up, started beating on him." She said then she turns to Woody and asked. "That about cover it, Hon?"
"I'b Duh Woodsman, yoo hoaar..." Woody replied. "...aye saveed liddle reeed raiding hood frum this...monster....I cut dis fugger oben....and filled hids belly full of..." Then he resets his jaw back in place and continues to talk as he stands up. "...uh...stones. AND THREW HIM IN THE FUCKING RIVER! That's who the fuck I am, you stupid bitch!"
"HEY! What'd I say about that word?!?!" Bigby said and he starts to charge at Woody and the two go out the window. "Bigby!" You shout as they fall out the window. You run over to the window and see that Woody had landed on the street while Bigby landed on top of a car. You see him moving as Toad runs out and places his hands on his head in shock and horror.
You see Bigby was talking to Toad but you see that Woody was up and walking towards Bigby. "Shit!" You exclaimed as you run across the room, grabbed the axe and ran out of the room, the girl not far behind you.
You and the girl make it outside and you see Woody had Bigby pinned up to a bus stop and he was choking him. "You fucking mongrel...you ignorant fuck...Come on out Wolf!" Woody shouted and you raise the axe and run towards Woody. Then you swung the axe and hit Woody in the back of the head. Woody lets out a gasp and lets go of Bigby as he topples to the ground, the axe still embedded in the back of his head.
You look over at Bigby and noticed that his eyes were yellow and his teeth were turning into fangs. Bigby catches his breath and shakes his head. He looks over at you as you smile at him.
All of you hear a groan and you look over and see Woody starting to crawl away but he falls face first in the pavement. The girl runs over to Woody and starts to look through his pockets. "Thanks..." Bigby said to you. You give him a small smile and said. "Don't mention it." Then you turn to the girl and asked. "What are you doing?"
"I'm just getting what he owes me." She replied then she turns to Bigby and said. "You alright back there? I mean...your eyes....and the teeth....you're not really supposed to do that are you?"
"Not if I can avoid it." said Bigby as she pulls out a handful of coins from Woody's pocket. "Great." She grumbles and throws the coins at him. She stands up and starts to kick him. "The guy's got an axe in his brain. He's not feeling that." You said to her. "It's more for me. He'll be fine." She replied.
"I'll kill ya. You fuckin' bitch!" Woody grumbles.
"Let me help you with that." The girl said and she slams her right foot on top of the axe and shoves the axe further into his skull. "Guy's having a bad day." Bigby said. "That makes two of us." The girl mumbles as she continues to shove the axe in his head.
She removes her foot off the axe and said. "I guess it's a good thing Fables are hard to kill."
"Suppose it is." Bigby said as you shrug.
The girl walks over to the steps of the building, picks up her purse and starts to dig through while Bigby pulls the axe out of Woody's head then tosses it off to the side.
The girl pulls out a cigarette and a lighter. She places the cigarette in her mouth and flicks the lighter but it wouldn't light. "Shit....just...come on..." She mutters as she flicks the lighter repeatedly.
"Here." Bigby said as he pulls out his lighter and lights her cigarette. "Thanks." She said as she takes a puff of the cigarette and blows out the smoke. "Who do you work for, really?" You asked her.
"These lips are sealed...sorry." She replied and from the look on her face you could tell that she was genuinely sorry.
After a few moments of silence, she looks up at you two, points at her purple ribbon and said. "Hey, do you guys like my ribbon?"
"If you can't answer our questions, we can't help you." You said, knowing that she was trying to change the subject.
"I'm answering them the best that I can." She said as she takes another drag of the cigarette.
"I feel like we've met before..." Bigby said as he looks at the girl after a short silence.
"We probably have. We all sort of knew each other at one point or another...but things change I guess." She replied, sadly. "I guess." You and Bigby replied at the same time. She smiles at you two as Bigby looks behind him and sees that Woody, and his axe, was gone.
He walks back over to the spot Woody was at, but all that was left was a pool of blood. "Shit." He mutters. You shake your head and look over at Bigby. He nods and the two of you start to walk away.
"Stop." The girl said as she grabs Bigby's wrist. He stops then places his hand on your shoulder to stop you as well. "We don't have to make any more of a thing out if it than it already is."
"He hit you. He needs to pay for that." said Bigby.
"He's got nothin' to give, Sheriff. I checked. Besides...." She looks over at you, nods at you and said. "She just swung an axe into the guy's head....I'd say we're even."
You smirk at her as Bigby stares at the girl for a moment until she removes her hand off his wrist and turns her back to you two. Bigby removes his hand off of your shoulder then turns back to the girl and asked. "How much was it he owed ya?"
"A hundred." She replied, giving a slight shrug.
"...and I'm guessing it'd be bad for you to show up empty handed." You said. The girl looks down for a moment then she turns to face you two and smiles. "I'll be fine." She replied.
You and Bigby look at each other then he starts to dig in his pockets and pulls out alittle bit of cash. He starts counting the money then starts to hand it to the girl. "Fifty eight. It's all I got." He said and you start to dig in your pocket and pull out a small amount of cash. "I have thirty. So all together it'll be eighty eight---it'll help, right?" You said as you also hold out your cash.
The girl looks at the cash but doesn't move. "Take it." You said, softly, to her. "It's okay. I'll be fine. You two have done enough. Really." She said. "Just.....take the money, okay?" Bigby said, calmly, to her. She takes the money and stuff them in her top. "You two got me out of a bad situation back there....thanks." She said, smiling.
"We're still gonna need a statement." Bigby said.
"I have to go drop off...what I have." The girl replied as she tosses the cigarette aside.
"Meet us back at my office then." said Bigby.
"It's alittle late for an office visit, Sheriff. I'll swing by your apartment." said the girl.
"How do you know where I...."
"You live in the smallest apartment in the Woodlands, Bigby. Everyone knows that." You said to him, smirking, as the girl nods. "Oh, good to know." Bigby said and you chuckled alittle.
"You should get cleaned up. You look like shit." The girl said to Bigby. "And I don't use that term lightly."
You look over at Bigby and noticed that his nose was bleeding and he had a bruise forming on his cheek. "She's right. Some of these look pretty bad." You said as you raised your hand and pushed back alittle bit of his hair back.
"Wow, tell me how you guys really feel." He replied, sarcastically. You and the girl chuckle for a moment before the two of you calm down. She looks at you two then turns to Bigby and said. "Hey...I need to tell you something."
"What is it?" Bigby asked her.
She walks up to him then leans in closer to his ear and whispers. "You're not as bad as everyone says you are." Then she pulls away from him and looks over at you. "You better keep an eye on him." She said. You stare at her as she begins to walk away. "I'll see you two around." She said as she looks over her shoulder and gives you two a two finger wave.
You let out a sigh and turned to Bigby as he pulls out a cigarette and lights it. "Some night, huh?" You said, alittle breathless. "Some night." He repeats and the two of you began to walk down the street and head back to the Woodlands.
