When Nacht went to check on Diego, he saw him in an unexpected form. In his wolf form, and Serwald's corpse.
Nacht: Ugh Hm I understand
Kisa: Huh
Mona: What the heck is going on now
Nacht: Stay back Something is not right
A few minutes earlier
When Diego tied Serwald up in the room.
Serwald: Let me go
Diego: Forget it You bastard
Serwald: Ghhh
Diego: Hmph
Sniff sniff
Diego: Ugh
When he smelled a strange scent.
Diego: What is that
Growl
Diego: Ugh
He got hungry, then looked at Serwald.
Bella: No Diego Do not do it
Suddenly he transformed.
Serwald: What are you doing now Urk
Diego: Rrr
A wet sound
Diego: Rrr
The door opens
Diego: Rrr
Nacht: Ugh
Diego: Rrrrr
Mona: What is going on Ugh
Kisa: Huh
Diego: Rrr
Kisa: Diego
Mona: What did you do
Nacht: Calm down All of you And you too Diego
Diego: Rrr
Diego attacked. Nacht did not dodge at first, but suddenly something appeared, a feeling.
Nacht: Ugh
He dodged, but it still cut his hand.
Nacht: Ugh
He looked at it. It did not heal.
Nacht: Ugh
He smiled.
Diego: Rrr
Nacht: Hahaha I understand You bastard You can kill people even through their curse That is insane
Diego: Rrr
Diego ran at him, but Kisa stepped in the way.
Diego: Ugh
He stopped.
Kisa: No Diego We are friends
Nacht: Ugh What are you doing Kisa Are you crazy
Kisa: Calm down Diego You do not want this, right I am your friend Yes we are your friends Calm down
Diego: Rrr Roaaaaaar
He swung at her, and Mona slapped him in the face.
Smack
Diego: Grrr
Mona: Ghhh Idiot Pull yourself together Are you stupid or what
Diego: Grrr
Mona: Come back to yourself Do not be a coward Diego Pull yourself together
Diego: Rrr
Mona: Hahh
She stroked his head.
Mona: There Better
Diego: Rrr
Mona: It is okay
She held his mouth.
Mona: It is okay Pull yourself together
He returned to his human form.
Mona: Hm
Diego: Ugh What happened
Nacht: You turned into a wolf and killed Serwald
Diego: What
Mona: It is okay Nacht He only just came back to himself
Diego: How What is that taste
He touched his own mouth.
Diego: Blood Did I
He turned around. Serwald was headless.
Diego: Did I eat a human
Mona: Calm down
Diego: But
Bella: I can say something about that
Bella suddenly appeared, coming out of his fairy tale, Grimm Little Red Riding Hood.
Diego: What does that mean
Bella: It was only a matter of time until this happened Well until you ate a human
Mona: Hmmm
Bella: Leave me alone with him
They did.
Diego: What does this mean, Bella What is this
Bella: The werewolf From Little Red Riding Hood As you probably know, wolves are very hungry, and especially the wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood tale He eats people He has an appetite for humans That is why, when Two Ages mentioned the Cinder Tales, there was the Cinder Tale of Corruption, Grimm Sleepy Hollow, which is Nacht The Cinder Tale of Curses, which is Mona, Grimm Alice in Wonderland The Cinder Tale of Spirits, Grimm Hansel and Gretel, which is Kisa The Cinder Tale of Song, Grimm The Town Musicians of Bremen, which is Mona And the Cinder Tale of Gluttony That is your ability, Grimm Little Red Riding Hood You are the Cinder Tales But there was always one Cinder Tale that caused trouble, chaos, and suffering And that is the Cinder Tale of Gluttony Never Never has a holder of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale been on the good side
Diego: Ugh Does that mean I will cause trouble
Bella: You ate a human It is not you, Diego It is the wolf It is like this Do not misunderstand me Actually I think you can make it You have done well so far
Diego: But
Bella: I will help you Not to do that I do not want to see again how someone important to me ends up on the dangerous side because of the wolf's power I am responsible for the wolf
Diego: But you failed until now Did you not
Bella: Ugh
She looked sad, then shook her head.
Bella: I know I never really tried Because it was not truly important to me But you are different, Diego I like you the way you are You are a good boy
Diego: Ghhh Can we do nothing about the gluttony Do I have to eat human flesh now
Bella: You could just eat thieves and bandits They are not good people anyway
Diego: Still
Bella: Then you have to eat a lot of meat From animals You must every day at least one whole animal Raw or cooked does not matter You eat fruit rarely You can eat vegetables but only a little more than fruit The meat must have a lot of blood Like a glass Drink four bottles of blood every day You should also drink water
Diego: That much
Bella: It is a carnivore A hunter that eats animals What did you expect I know you do not like it But it has to be Is there someone among your friends who can cook well
Suddenly the door opened.
Kisa: I I can cook
Mona: Me too
Nacht: Sorry We heard everything
Kisa: I will cook what he wants What he needs
Mona: I can hunt and help him
Bella: That is kind Really kind Diego
Diego: Yeah
Bella: One thing I forgot Yes the owners of Grimm Little Red Riding Hood were never good But until now every one of them was lonely and had no friends You here you have a family Not only friends
Diego: Ugh
They smiled.
Bella: I am sure you can do it
Diego: Okay
Suddenly they heard something.
Mefina: Hey Charlotte is awake
They ran to her.
Charlotte: Ugh What is going on Why does everything hurt My head is pounding
Nacht: It is okay
Kisa: You still do not look very well
Charlotte: Huh
She looked at Tina.
Charlotte: Hh
Tina: Hm
Charlotte: You have guts You know that
Tina: I am sorry
Charlotte: Hahhh At least you helped me I cannot hate you anymore But I will not like you either
Tina: That is fine I never asked for that
Charlotte: Hmph
They also told her about Diego.
Nacht: That is how it is
Charlotte: I understand Is it like a curse
Bella: Something like that
Charlotte: I understand
She looked at Diego.
Charlotte: I may not be the best at cooking or helping But I will do my best to help you
Diego: Thanks
Charlotte: Hm
A few hours later
Diego was in his room. Then the window knocked.
Diego: Huh
He opened the window. Mona came out.
Mona: Hey
She was standing on the tree.
Diego: Are you joking What are you doing here And um
Well, she was hanging from a tree with her legs.
Mona: Can you help me I am stuck
Diego: Sweats
He helped her down.
Diego: Seriously Why are you here
Mona: To check on you
Diego: Why
Mona: Just because Because you did it for me back then too
She sat on the bed.
Mona: Oh Your bed is comfy
Diego: Sounds like flirting
Mona: Even if it is What is wrong with that
Diego: My business My job
Mona: Hehehe Oh You think I cannot seduce you
Diego: Um
Mona: Joke Come on Why are you standing Sit down
He sat.
Mona: Are you still thinking about it
Diego: Yeah I I am worried that I am going to become a monster
Mona: What are you talking about You are still Diego
Diego: Hmm
Mona: You are shaking
Diego: I am scared
Mona: Understandable But we are with you I will be with you
She stroked his hair, his head.
Mona: It is okay, Diego
Diego: Why Is there a reason you want to help me
Mona: You are the only one who ignored my wounds and curse And um Sweats you called me a pretty girl
Diego: I only said what I think about you
Mona: Uh Hmm
She smiled and held his hand.
Mona: How old are you
Diego: Fourteen
Mona: Oh You are two years younger than me
Mona smiled again.
Diego: What
Mona: You are not really grown up yet, right
Diego: What
Diego blushed, especially because he only now noticed how close Mona was. Her face was right in front of his, and her hand was on his hand.
Diego: What is that I am not fully grown and neither are you
Bella thought: Diego, ignore that thought.
Mona: What is it Hehe Look at me
Diego: Hmm
She held his cheeks.
Diego: Nngh
Mona: Uh
Diego: Uh
Mona: You are single, right
Diego: Uh Yeah Why
Mona: Just a question
She stroked his cheeks.
Mona: You are cute You know that
Diego: Sweats I thought I was the pervert
Mona: Sweats You are still one
Diego: Oh
Mona: Whatever Stop looking so sad
Diego: But did you not see how they were afraid of me
Mona: You tore someone apart What did you expect That they would cheer and cuddle you
Diego: Sweats Kisa and Charlotte reacted normally But Tina and Mefina
Mona: That does not matter Now Sleep
Diego: I cannot
Mona: Should I sleep next to you
Diego: Sweats I think that would make it even less likely that I fall asleep if a pretty girl sleeps next to me
Mona: Then lie on my lap
Diego: Ugh What That is even less likely
Mona: Then lie in bed and I will just sit next to you
Diego: Okay That could work
He lay down on the bed. She stayed sitting beside him.
Mona: Good night Sweet dreams
Diego: Good night
He fell asleep. Diego snored a little. Mona giggled and stroked his head.
Diego: Zzzzz
Mona: How cute
She leaned closer and kissed his forehead.
Mona: Blush Mhm
She stayed and pulled out her fairy tale, Grimm The Town Musicians of Bremen. A small harp. Then she stood up, opened the window, jumped to the tree, and began to play the harp.
Mona: High above the world like a diamond in the sky When the blazing sun is gone When nothing shines on you Then you show your little light Twinkle twinkle all night Then the traveler in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark He could not see where he should go If you did not twinkle so In the dark blue sky you stay And often you peek through my curtains Because you never close your eye Until the sun is in the sky And like a bright little spark You light the traveler in the dark Though I do not know what you are Twinkle twinkle little star Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are High above the world like a diamond in the sky Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are How I wonder what you are A star or just a spirit Lonely lies the moon lighting up the night With its light it makes the night shine With its smile it brings comfort in sleep Dream of stars Dream of the moon Sleep sleep peacefully and dream sweetly until the sun shines
Mona: Alright now the same song but in Prussian Russian
She repeated the song in Russian.
Mona: Alright I will go now and leave him alone
She climbed down from the tree.
Mona: Hm
It was Kisa standing there.
Kisa: Was that your singing
Mona: Sorry Did I wake you
Kisa smiled and shook her head.
Kisa: No I just thought your singing was beautiful I wanted to check on Diego That is all You were faster than me
Mona smiled.
Mona: You are a really nice girl
Kisa: You too Hehe
Mona: Hehe Come let us leave him sleeping Diego probably would not sleep if two girls were nearby
Kisa: Hehe True Huh
Mona: Huh
Kisa heard something.
Kisa: Did you hear that
Mona: Hear what
It came from the bushes.
Kisa: Nacht Is that you
They walked closer until they were near the bushes. Kisa and Mona looked confused.
Mona: Nacht
Kisa: No wait that is not him
Whatever the figure was, it stared at them.
Kisa: Huh
Mona: Ugh
It had a sharp nose and was tall.
A growl
Kisa: Ghhh
Mona: Ghhh
It had red eyes. It vanished, and then someone arrived. It was Nacht.
Nacht: Mona Kisa Is that you
Kisa: Ghh Cough
Mona: Ghhh Cough
Nacht: Ugh What
He ran to them.
Nacht: What happened to you two
Kisa: I have no idea There was a figure and it attacked us
Mona: But when you came it panicked and ran away
Nacht: Maybe it was Diego in wolf form
Kisa: No
Mona: It did not look like a wolf It was more like a troll
Nacht: A troll Whatever it is Come quickly It is dangerous out here We will talk to Two Ages
