Chapter 3

Everything was clear to him, he had just finally fully understood what it meant to be a Grimm. He remained motionless looking down at the small town below, thoughts raced through his head but was stopped when the beowolf alpha let out a huge roar then charged towards the town followed by the rest of the pack.

Caleb remained where he was still deep in thought, the idea of going down with the rest of the grimms and slaughtering his former kind disturbed him greatly. It's true that he had already killed people in his old life but it was to survive but now that he has become a grimm his reason for existing is to kill the humans and faunus of Remnant.

This simple thought was a huge weight in his head at the moment, should he abandon all humanity and completely embrace his new existence as a Grimm.

Cries of panic began to echo through the city, residents ran in all directions in fear as the pack ravaged and killed everything in its path.

The fear, the anguish, all these emotions were increased tenfold when the beowolfs began their attack, Caleb felt more and more attracted by all this. The fact that grimms are drawn to negative emotions was one of the few things he knew about grimms and now he was experiencing it himself.

It was like something inside him was screaming at him to run and join the rest of the pack and devastate this town, yet the part of him that was human was desperately trying to fight back.

Eventually he started walking and headed down to town to rejoin the pack. When he got there it was total chaos, people were running in all directions to flee from the beowolfs and several bodies of people already dead were strewn on the ground.

He watched the spectacle unfold before him as he walked through the city. The alpha beowolf was roaring with all its might in the middle of the city while the rest of the beowolf continued to attack the people of the city.

His gaze was attracted by a little girl who fled behind a house near the forest chased by a beowolf.

The little girl was running as fast as she could but one of her shoes hit a rock causing her to fall to the ground. The beowolf following her quickly caught up with her.

She turned around and saw the creature hovering over her, his red eyes looking at her as if she were nothing more than a vulgar piece of meat.

Tears started to form around her eyes and her face had an expression of pure horror. The beowolf raised its paw ready to kill the little girl with one blow, seeing this the little girl put her arms above her head to protect herself and closed her eyes.

She stayed like that for a few seconds but nothing happened. Suddenly she heard what sounded like roaring and a clash. She opened her eyes again and lowered her arms to see something she never thought she would see.

The grimm who was about to kill her was attacked by another grimm. She watched the fight unfolding in front of her with a shocked look.

For his part, Caleb was doing his best to keep the advantage of the surprise effect he had by attacking the beowolf from behind.

"Fuck this shit! I may not have been the best guy in my old life but I wouldn't turn into a fucking monster by killing a kid even though technically now I am!"

The beowolf struggled violently while Caleb clawed him several times. He managed to push Caleb back and turned towards him while roaring with anger but Caleb did not give him time to act and rushed at him, pinning him to the ground then plunged his fangs into his throat. The beowolf howled in pain and desperately tried to land an attack on caled which kept him on the ground preventing him from moving then with a great sharp movement he tore his throat out.

The grimm choked for a few seconds before letting out a final growl and dying. His body began to dissipate into several black particles but instead of disappearing in the wind they gathered around Caleb and entered his body.

Seeing this Caleb was surprised for a moment but began to feel….good.

He felt much better than before entering the city, he had the impression of having gained a kind of additional strength in him. He remained a moment to look at his body but recovered his spirits realizing that the little girl was there looking at him with frightened eyes while shaking.

He turned towards her which made her jump and then started to slowly approach her but she started to back away in fear before her back hit the wall of the house.

A loud roar belonging to the beowolf alpha resounded throughout the city and sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance but caleb paid no attention and continued to slowly approach the little girl.

When he came within a meter of her he stopped and stood in front of her. The little girl put her arms out in front of her again to protect herself, but ended up lowering them when she noticed Caleb hadn't moved.

She looked at him for a moment with her eyes full of fear, but the fear eventually turned to curiosity. Why hadn't he attacked her yet? he was a grimm after all and grimms exist to attack humans thats what her parents always told her.

She looked him up and down and her eyes finally met his. Her expression seemed ..... calm, unlike the other grimm who clearly wanted to kill her, this one seemed to be different.

No bad attention seemed to emanate from him it was really strange. The little girl got up slowly while keeping eye contact with the beowolf in front of her.

She slowly began to approach him while Caleb remained as still as possible so as not to make any movement that could frighten the little girl. When she was really close to him all fear had left her body and she was just impressed to see a grimm so close.

She started to raise her hand wanting to touch Caleb's fur when a shot rang out and a bullet lodged in the ground right next to Caleb.

Caleb straightened up immediately and turned in the direction of the shot to see a man holding what looked like both an ax and an old gun.

"Fuck a hunter!"

"There! there's still one left!"

Caleb concentrated and noticed that there was no longer any sound of combat and that the presence of a hunter in this town probably meant that the alpha beowolf and the rest of the pack must have been killed.

He heard several footsteps coming his way and knew he had to get out of here if he didn't want to die.

He then turned towards the forest but before leaving he looked behind him to see the little girl who was watching him with a slight smile on her face.

"Thank you...for saving me!"

Caleb looked at her and just nodded before getting on all fours and running as fast as he could towards the forest while dodging the gunfire leaving the little girl with a surprised look on her face as she hadn't expected. not that caleb can understand and answer her.

On his side Caleb continued to run as fast as possible sinking into the woods.

" It's my chance! Me who wanted to stay in a pack, here is that mine has just been massacred by a group of hunters and I find myself all alone like an idiot...."

After running for a long time he finally stops and lies down under a tree. Night began to fall and now he was completely alone.
