The familiar chiming of your earrings echoed through the forest, as you landed from a tree. "Tell me how you haven't been caught yet." a voice said, cockily. You smile and look over to the boy now a few miles away from you. "Yeah, maybe you should stop slacking and get on with it already."

You smile and pull down your hood, showing your face. He does the same. Hunter followed you as you began your walk. As he opened his mouth to say something, you kicked him back and made a run for it. "That is called tag! I read it from a human book!"

"Hey!" you jumped from tree to tree, finding the sturdier branches so it wouldn't break on him after you pounced on it. You grab a few twigs as you run, and throw them back organized to make him trip. "So we're playing dirty now huh? That can be arranged." He slides under a log and tries to jump-attack you.

You dodge and kick him back again with a giggle. You continue your sprint through the very familiar forest until a red blur pops in front of you. You halt to a stop, not wanting to hurt the talisman. When you felt two arms wrap around you.

You blush and let both of you fall onto the ground in laughter. "You're such a cheater!" you complain, in a child-like tantrum. "You never made a rule about talisman use. I think I recall a stick storm earlier too..." Hunter said as you two lay in the grass.

"Yeah, I don't think I remember that." you throw him his staff.
Ever since he was sent to hunt down more talismans for Emperor Belos, you had intervened. You were a master bard, without a Staff you only fought with your voice.

Eventually, you had realized Rascal had chosen him, through your years of living in the Boiling Isles forest, you had lived with the bat Queen. And the many forgotten talismans with her. You began to understand why FlapJack chose Hunter.

And him why you protected the forest like you did. So instead of fighting, you'd come to catch feelings for him, and the daily talks and play dates you had.

"Sorry, but I need it. More than you, human." Hunter says, ripping the Owl's key from her neck. "No! I thought we- I need it to get back home!" She pleads, trying to get herself up. Her leg had been sprained during her fight with the Golden Guard.

"I need it to stay Belos's right hand. I'm sorry." Hunter frowned, beginning to leave when he was pushed back by a hum, and his hand was now empty.

"I can't believe I-" you begin, now in front of Luz. He quickly turns around, "C/n?" He spots. You help up the human. "can you walk?" You ask, Luz coughs and fails. "It's alright- I can get you out of here with your key, stay off your leg." You say, after a whistle. A larger stick came your way. You grabbed it and adjusted it to the human.

"C/N, please- just let me explain- you know I can't go back empty-handed again-" Hunter says, stepping closer. "Don't take another step!" You say, your voice sending a wave and knocking him back a bit. Your voice was cracking in the scene, and your magic flared as a result.

A shadow loomed over you all, before a Winged Eda lands with king, glancing at the scene. "Can you make it back?" You ask, "Of course" Eda begins, "I can hold him back, go." You say, handing the key. "No, I'll stay, you two go," Eda says. You look to the floor, "C/n.." Hunter says softly now. You hold the key in your hand, covering it.

You nod. "I'm- let's go." You say, helping Luz onto your Eda's staff and taking off with King. "Okay, owl lady- just move and this'll be easy." Hunter begins. "Yeah no," Eda says, flaring her wings. "I don't think you've fought Feathered Eda before."
"Look, I just need to catch up to C/n and we'll leave happily alright? No humans or witches will be hurt." He adds. "Sounds like you already hurt one," Eda says, coldly.

You sped to your current living space in a geode cave after dropping the human at the owl house. You needed to pack and leave before the owl lady finished distracting the witch. Your witch. You held back your tears as you finished packing your bag. You thought he changed.

"Ready?" You ask, your flying ride was one sent from the bat queen. It was a huge moth, with a saddle. "C/n, I need you to listen to me- please," Hunter speaks, now behind you. He had a few scratches and bruises on him now.

"I don't have time for this." You say, continuing to pack. "I'm sorry- I just didn't want Belos to replace me-I-" he begins, "Hunter- Belos doesn't love you! He doesn't even care about you! He doesn't deserve you- and now I know you'll never believe it. If he wants to replace you- then let him- it's his loss. And now- mine." You say, pushing a bag onto the moth.

"He took me in- of course he cares- you care- just- please keep-" he continues. "You're a pawn to him, and I'm not gonna watch you lose yourself. You'll never realize that you don't need him." You say, turning around away from him. "You- only-because I'm somebody! Because now you have an inside on the coven!" He says, impulsively. "No- I loved you when you were nobody- because you aren't a nobody- Hunters somebody! And- I just- you won't see me again." You say, Hunter, blushing spoke up "Wait-!" You slap his hand away.

Your tears trickled down your cheeks. You wiped them in embarrassment. You quickly got on the moth before grabbed you and pulled you off. You kicked and tried to push him away, to no avail. "Hunter!" he tightened his grip around your waist and turned you around.

You pulled your head away, tears still falling. "Look at me!" he begged, you closed your eyes in spite. "Y/n! Look at me!" he grabbed your face and turned you to him. "It's fine I don't need you to look at me for this." you felt his lips smash against yours.

Your eyes opened in shock. But closed again when returning it. He slowly dropped his hands to your waist again. You followed suit and held them. Once you broke you saw his blush match yours. "I- uh love you too."

Your blush rises, he wipes the tears from your face as you look down. "And I know you're right." you lean into him again. "Just don't go," you add, in a whimper as you hug him tightly to his chest. He blushes and hugs you back. "I won't leave you. I promise." Hunter said leaning down to lay his head on yours.

He slides the key deeper into his pocket. He could have it all. You, and his side by Belos.
