Beautifully Dangerous (Technoblade x OC [Azalea])

Chapter 22:

Azalea's P.O.V

As the sun rose steadily into the sky, Ranboo and I wandered the town, trying to spot our friends. Neither of us knew the way back home, so we couldn't go there. Nobody knew where the house was, so we couldn't get a guide. It wasn't going well.

I had a bought Ranboo a cloak earlier in the morning, so we weren't as recognizable. I also bought him a brown scarf, so he could hid the bottom of his face, concealing his identity better. 

We walked through the town, talking quietly to each other, and avoiding the guards at all costs. It was around noon when Ranboo complained about being hungry. I sighed and looked around. I saw the same pub that Techno, Phil, and I stopped at to have lunch. 

"Follow me." I said, dragging him towards the pub. We walked in, the bell ringing loudly, and saw that the pub was empty. Even Skeppy wasn't at the bar right then. I slowly took off my hood, calculating on what to do next, then I heard a loud thud come from the kitchen.

"Go away!" a familiar voice yelled from the back.

"Skeppy, it's me." I said. I heard whisper arguing coming from the back. I was about ready to jump the counter and see what was going on back there, when Skeppy bursted through the kitchen doors. He took one look at me, and his fearful gaze filled with relief.

"Oh thank God, it's you!" He yelled, rushing over to close the door and lock it tight. I looked at him in confusion. Why was he acting all weird.

"Skeppy, what's going on?" I asked concerned. He looked at me, then his eyes moved towards Ranboo. Fear quickly filled them and he drew a dagger. I held up my hand, and stepped in front of Ranboo, placing one of my hands on my sword.

"Wow wow wow, this guy's with me." I said, trying to calm him down. He nodded, but I could tell he still didn't trust Ranboo. Ranboo took of his hood, and lowered his scarf so now it hung around his neck. Skeppy looked at him, before sighing. 

"Skeppy, can you please tell me why you are so on edge?" I asked, completely confused by his edginess and his hostility. He sighed again, before slowly walked behind the counter.

"You might want to take a seat." He said. He explained how that when we were captured, his house was burned down for apparent treason for hosting a fugitive murderer. He said that his pub had been broken into last night by the guards and was searched thoroughly trying to find some people that may be hiding there. He also told me that his boyfriend was in the back, having a small panic attack. I sighed when he was finished. 

"Go help your boyfriend. I'm sorry I caused all this." I said, truly sorry. I didn't mean for my escape to make such a big scene. Especially for my new friend. He chuckled just a little bit.

"Ok. It's fine, Azalea, just wish you told me you murdered people so I could prepare for the consequences. That's all." He said, walked back to the kitchen. Once he was out of sight, I balled up my fists, trying hard not to let tears fall out of my eyes. I was a little hurt by his statement, but I could see where he was coming from. Ranboo  pulled me towards him and rubbed my back as I quietly cried into his chest. Best brother ever. 

I quickly wiped my tears away as Skeppy walked back out, now accompanied by another person. Or humanoid figure. The new boy had pitch black hair, with two horns sprouting out of it. He wore a black cloak, outlined in red. He had a demon tail, and his eyes were pure white.

"Azalea, this is my boyfriend, Bad. Bad, this is Azalea, the girl I was telling you about." Skeppy said, introducing us. I stuck out my hand and we shook hands. I noticed that Bad's fingers were slightly pointed, like mine and Ranboo's.
