Scorpia x Reader (Gender Neutral)

^^Chapter 4^^

I sat in bed thinking about how I could sneak out without my mom noticing. I hope Scorpia will actually be there today. I'm not sure. I got up and set up pillows under my blanket so it would look like I was still asleep. I wouldn't be gone for too long, this will be a piece of cake! I used my powers to make myself invisible and walked through and out of the castle silently. Whenever I got to the small village that was still being repaired from the attack, it was hard to avoid being noticed, for there was so many things I could step on that would make noise. So I carefully creeped around. I wonder if I will be able to make it out of here, to be free!

I made it to the little gate entering the town and when I tried to walk through, it shot me back. I gasped because it surprised me. My mom must have set this up. Ouch. It hit hard enough for me to lose my focus and stop using my powers. I was no longer invisible and everyone was looking at me. My dad walked over and helped me back onto my feet. "What was that, dad??" I asked him, "Your mother set that up. We knew you would try and sneak out, now come on, I am taking you back to the castle." He replied before moving his hair out of his eyes. "What? Why?! Do you expect me to stay locked away after I made a friend?!?!" "You made a friend with a horde soldier. Your mother told you to specifically to avoid sketchy people. When she said that she mean't horde soldiers." He grabbed my wrist and started taking me back to the castle. "No! No! No!" I started acting like a child, kicked around, and trying to get lose from my dads tight grip. I couldn't think right. I knew what I was about to do was wrong. People were staring but I didn't really care. "Let go of me! Let go, let go!" "Stop it! We are taking you back inside if you like it or not." I wasn't thinking and used my powers as a distraction, I hurt his eyes and he let go to cover them. How could he fall for that so easily? I ran back towards the force field my mom had created and I started using my own powers to break through it. I kept trying to break it. I had the confidence and I was going to break it one way or another.

I threw invisible forces at it with all my strength, trying to avoid touching it so it wouldn't send me back. I assume that it became too much for my mom to hold it up. I ran. As fast as I could, my heart was beating super fast. I've never felt this alive in my life. This whole time I had been hidden and kept away for my "safety". I never got to do anything. I wasn't going to do it anymore. My mother had kept me from learning my full potential. I wonder where I could learn how to use it. I am weak. The weakest in my family. Because I have been sheltered from everything and everyone for such a long time.

I remember the first time I asked if I could leave, and go past the woods. My mother said I could when I was older. It never happened. I ran to the middle of the woods. Scorpia was nowhere to be seen. Damn. I can't just.. go back now. My mother would just want to keep me there for even longer. I want to live my life. I want to be free. I didn't want to take over the throne once my mother passed away. I sat under a big tree and thought for a while to think of a plan. I knew exactly what I needed to do. I knew what I wanted to do.

I'm going to go with the horde.
