"Techno...?"

Your voice rang through the empty house, you expected a reply but nothing came the house only creaked in response. He couldn't have left already...could he?

"no way... He's probably outside doing something weird!"

You chuckled to yourself as you made your way to the front door, opening it and looking out.

Nothing...

"well... Maybe he's out the back!" You stayed positive, he wouldn't have left without saying goodbye... No way...

Making your way to the back you quickly opened the door expecting the pink haired man to give you the same annoyed grimace he always did but... There was no one.

"Techno...?"

You heard quiet flapping of laundry on the line and noticed that his shirt was missing, in fact after further inspection all of his possessions were gone.

"He really left..." suddenly a familiar ache in your chest rose up, it felt like your heart was being twisted and the world around you was once again falling apart. You clutched your chest.

"oh god...I'm alone again...n-no I don't...laugh-it h-hurts"

You stumbled your way inside, the pain made your vision hazy and warped. Quickly grabbing what medicinal herbs you had and shoving them in your mouth, you quickly swallowed them. It took so long for you to feel better that you thought you would die then and there.

"I'm fine...I'm gonna be fine...I just need to go for a walk... Yeah that Will help"

Mustering up all the courage you had left you quickly got ready putting on a hooded cape to head out and get breakfast. Sitting around and moping wouldn't help pluels you still hadn't eaten.

So with a firm nod you went on your way. You would do what you did last time to soothe the pain, Work so hard you didn't have time to think about it! Racing through the woods felt good, the wind in your hair and on your face smelt familiar and welcoming. The forest would never leave you.

"Here we are" when you made it to the familiar apple tree you climbed to the top like you always did, picking only the ripest ones. You looked out into the view of the forest where you saw techno for the first time and felt a familiar pang in your heart.

"no! Stop thinking about it!"

You slapped both your cheeks to expel the thoughts, deciding that being here was dangerous for you. But just as you were getting off you spotted smoke from the forest. At first you thought it was a wild fire but it wasn't the season for wild fires yet.

"maybe a campsite...?"

You gasped.

"techno! Oh you sneaky bastard!"

You leaped off the tree, landing on the soft grass with a muted thud. The Minute you reached the ground you sprinted off to where the smoke was grinning ear to ear.

"I'm gonna say goodbye properly this time!!"

You laughed happily that you might have one last chance to see him.

"you better stay put!!"

The smoke was right near the edge of the forest, it was only small so you definitely knew it was a campfire and a new one at that.

You raced past trees and animals, always making sure you were going the right way. When you arrived closer to the campsite you rushed over when you saw pink hair but slowed down when you heard unfamiliar voices talking.

"I want to get out of here as soon as possible!"

"There ain't no need to rush! We already got 'em! Plus I'm hungry! We've been running around this bloody forest without eating!"

The two men argued one was skinny with brown hair and the other was taller and very muscular with no hair. Another one spoke from where he was sitting.

"Will you two idiots shut up?! Just let man eat! The bastards already too weak to fight back"

The man stood up and laughed, taking his knife and walking over towards a familiar face.

"the sword my ass, bloody whoreson didn't even put up a fight....thought we were gonna have to burn that pretty lil house down"

House?! They were talking about my home! You thought, you crouched down behind a tree to think about the situation...why did these people have Techno tied up...? I thought he left earlier... So...he didn't leave me? You smiled subconsciously but quickly snapped out of your thoughts when the man spoke again.

"What's with that look huh? I don't like it...maybe I should carve up ya face a little more and see if you can make that face after"

He held the knife up to Technos cheek. You could spot him from where you were standing. He had a hostile look on his face. You'd never seen him so angry. He also had multiple bruises on his body and face like they had been beating him.

Anger swelled up inside of you, you glared angrily at the men, wanting to do something but Techno was right...you were too weak to help.

But your only friend was in danger; you couldn't just stand around. So you waited until the man got bored and walked away and the other two ate and spoke boisterously. Using the bushes and trees you snuck around to where Techno was tied up.

When you reached the otherside you whispered to Techno from behind the tree he was tied up in.

"Techno...psst...stay still"

Techno looked shocked to see you but kept his composure to not alert them. He whispered as quietly as he could.

"get the hell out of here y/n...they're mercenaries...they'll kill you"

You ignored his warning as you took out a knife from your pocket and cut the ropes one by one, carefully not making any noise and watching to see if anyone noticed. Thankfully no one did.

You crawled over, keeping your presence small and in the shadows. Because of the density of the trees it often looked like it was night in some places.

"I'm here to rescue you, let's run away together!"

You held out your hand and gave him a comforting smile. His eyes widened as he looked at your hand and smiled softly...

"I can't..."
