The hunter and his prey

Chapter 9; slumber

(Time for the story to go off the rails and not follow the show. also sorry for the long wait 🥲)

It had been about a month since you and Yuka had a heart warming moment. But your currently separated from him and the others. A new god arrived and ruined any plans the group had.  The man in question had two twin masks with him, and was standing in front of you. Your hands were tied behind your back.

The two twin masks were on either side of you. Blocking any form of escape, you let out a defeated sigh. You lifted your body side to side, attempting to release some of the growing pain in your legs. The man in front of you knelt down lifted your face to meet his. "I'm sure your wondering why I've saved you and only you."

Did he really choose the word, saved? How does capturing a person turn into saving? He no older than twenty-five, but older then twenty-one. Finally speaking, you asked the main question on your mind. "Why me?"

The man stood there in thought, placing a finger on his chin. Did he really not have a good reason. "Well I saw you surrounded by masks and thought. Why not help a pretty lady?" He grinned looking between his masks.
"I never asked for you to save me, I was just fine. They were my friends!"

He stood there and laughed, wrapping his arms around his chest. "Friends!? With masks!? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!" He chuckled wiping a imaginary tear. I grit my teeth and force myself in my feet. "I know them, they haven't hurt me. They will find me, and you'll die."

A few hours have passed and the moon was high in the sky by now. Looking up to the sky, you wished to stretch your arms up. As if you could grab the moon and hold it in your hands. One twin mask, Nami as you had learned, was sitting across from you, her head tilted. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you have anything better to do?" You ask letting you head hang low. Nami didn't answer, but inched a bit closer. Kairi, the other twin mask was off with Jiro looking for your group.

Laying back you wiggles your ankle, hearing it pop. You sighed wondering if your group would find you. Would they know where to look? You thought quietly to yourself when you hear a thud behind you.

"I see you've made yourself comfortable. I brought food." Jiro spoke setting a bag in front of you. "I'm not hungry.." you said turning to face away from him. He sighed before crowing to your left. Gripping your chin in his hand, he harshly turned your face towards him. "I saved and brought you food and this is how you treat me?"
