Beautifully Dangerous (Technoblade x OC [Azalea])

Chapter 14:

Azalea's P.O.V

We were walking down a dirt path. We had woken up about an hour ago and had taken 30 minutes to get out the door. Ranboo and Tommy were really worried about me going to town in case someone had recognized me. 

Phil and Techno were talking quietly a few steps ahead of me. I had my head down and was intently trying to listen in on their conversation.

"-not sure if he's going to be there. If he is, then we would have to hide Zia for a while. Dream and Zia don't get along well anymore. Bumping into each other is not a good idea." Techno said softly. I almost gasped out loud. Dream was going to be in town?! Oh SHIT!!

"If he is, we'll just hide her with Bad and Skeppy. They are always willing to hide someone for us, especially for you. They are deadly afraid of you." Phil said, chuckling. I could Techno was smirking. Whenever he smirked, his ears would raise up a little and the left one would flick just a hair.

"They have a good reason to be." He said. They walked a few yards without speaking, everyone just left alone with their thoughts. Mine weren't that good, to be honest. The voices were once again getting restless. They hadn't spoken in days, mainly the days I spent with Techno. I've found that he was the only one to bring the voices completely quiet for hours on end. 

I sighed and quickly caught up to them in fear of being left behind. It had happened too many times, that I now have monophobia, the fear of loneliness. 

'Azalea..... why don't you let us out?.... we just want to have some fun.... Zia, don't listen to them, they want to harm Phil for talking to Techno!.... shut up, emma...'

"What do you mean they want to hurt him for talking to Techno?" I muttered so that they wouldn't hear.

'They like Techno. A lot. He makes their blood lust go away.' 

I shook my head. 

"All of  you, be quiet!" I said, a little louder than before. I closed my eyes and groaned.

"Zia, are you alright?" Techno asked. I opened my eyes and saw them staring at me weirdly. I put on my best fake smile.

"Yea, the voices were just acting up again. It gets really annoying after a while." I said, walking over to them. They nodded and Phil lead the way. I felt something brush against my hand and looked down.

It was Techno's hand. He apparently noticed that I was staring at our hands, so he did something that shocked me. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, like a couple would. I knew my face was blushing so hard as I looked away, but I didn't pull my hand away. It felt warm and comforting. 

We walked for a little bit, Phil telling us little jokes and stories he picked up on in his travels. I was laughing at the joke he just made when my ears perked up. I was suddenly alert. My ears have really great hearing, so I could hear everything in a 500 ft radius. 

A twig snapped to my left so I quietly drew a knife looked in that direction. I could see something tall standing there, almost enderman height. It was walking with what appeared to be a goat. I looked at Techno and Phil and they were just talking while we were stopped in the road. 

I withdrew my hand from Techno's and he looked at me, confused. I pointed my head at the figures and he looked up towards them. he quickly got the memo and started to circle around behind them. 

Once he was a few feet behind them, I threw my dagger, lodging it into a tree... inches away from the taller figure's face. I threw another one and caught the goat's coat, sending him back into the tree.
