"Getting slower?" The golden guard taunts as you do your usual chase around bones burrow. "Or are you getting blinder?" You tease back, as you jump and kick him off his staff, you take this to your advantage and pounce from building tops faster.

You steal some elixirs on your way, before walking calmly down the streets. That's a new spike. You run into some solid, someone solid. "Ah, how the tables have turned shadow?" He says you could tell he was smirking underneath that mask.

You step back before running again that way. He chases you, as you do a backflip off a pole and jumps on his shoulders. You quickly use a spell to blind him with darkness "Getting slower?" You remark as you run.

He groans as he tries to reverse the effect. You take this time to get to your home base. A cave in the woods, where you shared with the abandoned talisman and the bat queen + co. You notice a familiar cardinal talisman follow you.

You pull down your hood and offer your finger to the little bird. He obliged and lightly landed. "Welcome home little buddy." You say, assuming his witch had abandoned him, as so many had before.

"I'm sorry for the repeat, rascal. You'll find your witch someday." You explain as you walk into your cave and let the bird fly around. You slide off your coat and scramble through some drawers.

"Returns, birb." You say, as you leave your little home and climb up some trees to gaze. You sigh, before placing your razor onto your skin. You watch the blood ooze, as you almost sigh.

Your eyes just concentrate on the red substance. You hear a rustling, as you assume the little cardinal has returned. "Sorry- do you need a polish- I might have some in my stash-" you say, turning around and being cut off by the golden guard now in front of you.

Your eyes widen, making you cut deeper into your skin. You hissed in the pain, before kicking the soldier's stomach and making a run for it. He saw it- he saw me! Without my hood on- without my jacket on- and with my razor and scars! Great- you jump from tree to tree, before landing on a shorter one, hiding in the leaves covering.

You begin to panic and breathe heavily as the situation sets in. You curl up and begin to mutter little words like "stupid-" and "come on-" You didn't notice the blood not stopping from your wrist. You begin to search for your razor in panic.

"Come on come on-" you breathe out. You sigh and lay back, closing your eyes to retain some sort of calm. You began to feel dizzy, before blacking out.

"This is my new partner. Emperor Belos has requested her to stay." Hunter says, where am I? Another curse flare? You hear footsteps approach you as you begin to feel the pain in your wrist and waist.

You begin to open your eyes, noticing the new surroundings- and the emperor's Sigil. You flinch and begin to form a spell before a hand stops you. "Knock it off, you're not going anywhere." He said.

"how many times have you said that?" You respond, kicking the arm off and kicking him back before using your finger to begin a spell. He jumps up and grabs an unfamiliar staff, knocking your hand off as you are distracted.

"Your Rascals witch?" You question, stepping back. He takes off his mask, revealing his real face, and steps forward as you take steps back.

You blush, before saying "Can you perform magic with him?" He looks surprised at your words. "How did you know?" Hunter questions finally stopping his pace. "You kind of shut down when you let the staff go." You say, before attempting to trip him, he dodged- but you use that to spin him around and keep him chained with a spell.

You glance at your wrist, immediately taking a double-take. You blush seeing it was being healed and bandaged. He struggled to escape the spell, "Don't go!" but quickly kicked his staff back to him and used another to light the chain away.

He pushed himself up and pinned you to the bed, "Try what you want- but you're not leaving my sight- shadow." Hunter sternly says. "And I thought I was your biggest threat-" he begins. Your eyes widen, he did know.

You get a little flashback of the last interaction. He pulls you up before sighing and sitting next to you. "I saw- your scars and the sigil, your F/N's daughter aren't you?" Hunter asks. Your fists clenched at the edge of your skirt/shorts/pants.

"Why do I need to tell you anything? Just turn me into Belos so he can turn me to stone- get it over with- rather do that than have this conversation!" You complain before flipping back and using a spell to illuminate yourself around the room.

"I'm not letting you leave Y/N!" He finally says your name, making the illusions weaken in surprise. He notices and runs at you, you open the window and attempt to open it on him- before completely wincing to the realization you had ripped your cut open in the chaos.

"Titan-" he cursed as he grabbed your arm and pulled you back closer to him, unwrapping your bandage. You could tell he was really upset. "What? Did Belos give another pep talk?" You ask, "You're seriously asking me what's wrong with me?" He says, "You're cutting your wrists- and you ask me why I'm so upset?" Hunter adds.

You were kind of shocked. He begins to heal your cut and glances up at you before returning to your wrist. "You- you do know that people care about you right?" He says, you almost laugh. "This talk?" You mock.

"Look- I'm trying okay? That's more than your dad!" He says, you slightly frown at his remark. "Sorry." He mutters under his breath before continuing. "My- name is Hunter.

Belos brought me in even after finding out about my malfunctional gene. My staff is artificial magic- but rascal seems to be able to spell as easy." Hunter explains. "You- two are actually a really good fit." You say.

"Let's just cut to the real stuff okay?" He says, "You're staying here- and you're giving me all your blades. Now." He demands. "Or I'm marking you. You choose." He adds.

"I'm not your pet- I don't have to do anything." You clarify, he furrows his brows deeper before grabbing your arm tighter, "I didn't really ask. Give me the blades- Now." Hunter clarifies, stepping closer and you begin to step back again.

"You're going to listen to me- and you're going to stop." He adds. "Why?!" You finally ask. "Because- you shouldn't! You're- an amazing witch- you're-" he continues. "Just stop- you're just-" "Just caring!- listen to me!" "Just leave me alone!-" "No!" Hunter grabs your cheeks and kisses you, impulsively.

You begin to kiss back after the shock passes. Your hands that had instinctively grabbed his wrist before began to fade to a soft touch. After breaking, he looked as you kept your gaze on his shoes. "i-I'm sorry- I had- I had to prove it." he says, before taking your blades he spotted in your pocket and engulfing them in flames.

"But- I wasn't faking- and I know its stupid because I've basically been hunting you down for the past months- but I- like you- enough for me to want you to stop." He says. "So- stop," Hunter adds, stepping slightly away.

You just little grab your other arm, nervously while looking away. "I can- try." You say, "..for you." You add after a second of silence, his eyes slightly widen as he blushes before nodding and saying "For you." And grabbing your hand so you'd stop picking your arm.

You both look to the hands, before acknowledging your feelings. He slowly hugs you. You freeze up, before hugging back- tightly.

"Thanks- I'm glad you like me back."
