my knight (ray x reader)

"Huh? There's two missing..." Gilda says as you and Ray huff from running back to the house.

"Mooooommm!" You head Mark cry as he runs up the hill "I'm sorry! I lost Naila while we were playing in the forest!". Mark is practically hyperventilating as Mom comforts him. She reaches her hand into her pocket and pulls out a pocket watch, similar to Rays. She glances at it for a moment before smiling.

"No need to worry, everyone stay here until I get back. I won't be long" Mom says to everyone, her voice soft and comforting. She starts to walk across the field and into the forest. Thunder starts to roar in the cloudy sky above you. You glance over at Ray who's looking across the field, and then over at Norman and Emma. Their expressions are full of fear and confusion. After some time you see Mom walking back from the forest, with Naila asleep in her arms.

"Mom! Naila!" Phil cheered as he ran up to them, the others including you following.

"She got tired and fell asleep. See? Not a scratch on her" Mom said, making everyone calm down in relief. You turn around to see Emma and Norman standing in the same place they were while they were waiting for Mom. They look practically frozen in time, not moving an inch.

"Y/n" You hear as you walk down the stairs with phil on your left hip. You turn your head and see Emma standing at the top of the staircase.

"I have a secret" Emma sings in a teasing way.

"What! Can you tell me?" You ask.

"Hmmm. Maybe" She says with a smirk while she shrugs her shoulders.

"Pleaseee" You whine.

"I said maybe" Emma says. You look up at her and pout your lips. "Fine i'll tell you later" She says as she skips down the steps. You smile to yourself feeling accomplished and continue down the steps. You stop at the last step and watch as Emma skips up to Norman and they walk out the door. You stand there lost in thought when suddenly you see a tall dark haired boy walk past you. You decide to put down Phil and tip toe behind Ray. He stops for a moment and you stand on your toes, your body pressed against his back.

"Boo" You whisper into his ear.

"Hey Y/n" Ray says, unfazed by your attempt. He turns his head as you lower yourself down from your toes.

"I need you to come with me" You say as you look up to him.

"Where?" He asks but before he knows it, you grab his hand and drag him out the door.

"I want to go follow Emma and Norman" You say, looking back at Ray as you lead him through the field and into the direction you saw them go.

"Why do you want to follow them" Ray asks.

"They sneak around all the time, I just want to know what they're doing and thought you'd want to come" You say in reply with a slight smile. Ray rolls his eyes.

"You're such a creep" He says.

"I am not a creep"

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not"

He looks at you, one eyebrow raised.

"Okay fine. I'm not a creep though." You add in response as you enter the forest.

"You're right, you're just nosy" He adds quickly. You continue to drag him through the woods. After walking for a while, you come across the small fence and you hop over it. You start to think you've gone in the wrong direction but then you start to hear voices.
