Looking at him from a distance, I can't understand why I've set out to capture him. He looks so broken and sad. I do know why he's in the Forbidden Cities though, he's unlocked his ability by now...

Maybe that's a bad thing, or maybe it's upsetting. Whatever it is, I can't let my feelings get in the way of my mission...even though it would be a shame to further hurt him.

I hope she won't put too much pressure on him...UGH, BE QUIET ALREADY, Y/N!! STOP THINKING AND JUST CORNER HIM ALREADY!!!

But he's so much taller than I thought, and I've heard how he's fought-maybe he's stronger than me?

Not if I ambush him...VOICES IN MY HEAD, STOP THINKING!!!

Ugh, I'm getting a headache already...why is this so HARD???!!!

He's not the first person I've captured, come ON, I CAN DO THIS!!!

.Why are my thoughts so cluttered...why am I so confused? Just breathe...I take a deep breath and see him turn around.

I bite back a gasp at how red and puffy his eyes look.

They're a pale blue color that might have once sparkled with happiness.

All thought of actually doing this has vanished from my head. I need to protect him, he looks so upset!

Sure, I'll get in trouble with the Neverseen, and Glimmer will probably burn my arms with her light again, but whatever, he's too sad, my heart literally can not handle it. How do I hide him without being too obvious?

Hmm...OH, I KNOW!! I snap my fingers, and my cloak pops into the void, just as planned. I quietly sprint in front of him and pretend to trip, barreling right into him.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!" I apologized.

I'd knocked him over.

"Want some help?"

I hop up and reach a gloved hand to him. He only grunts in response but takes my hand anyway. Big mistake. I smirk and create a yellow light path before he can process what's happening. We're at Merrowmarsh, where I have a small hut in-between two trees that I call my home. I turn my e/c eyes to the side to look at him.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name?" I grin.

He gives no response.

"Aw, I'm not worth talking to? Guess you'll never know why I took you here."

I cross my s/c arms and glance at him. He still looks sad.

"C'mon, I'm not kidnapping you or anything!"

I pale slightly as I realize that was actually what I set out to do.

"Dude, seriously, can you not talk or something?"

I wave my hand in front of his face.

He grabs my wrist and pulls my hand back to its starting position, then lets go, without looking up. I have to admit, he's quite strong.

"Oi, are you deaf?"

He shakes his head no.

"Can you speak?"

He nods his head yes.

"Okay, what's your name then?"

"You first," He half mumbles, half whispers, still not looking up.

My name isn't known as being part of the Neverseen, right? Eh, probably not.

"I'm Y/N Foster, you?"

He looks up at me for the first time.

"Keefe."

So it IS him and not just a random person I've been following for an hour as he wanders through the Forbidden Cities. Although I need a last name to confirm that.

"Do you have a last name?"

He frowns slightly.

"Sencen."

I don't know why he frowned, that's weird, I thought he would have been proud of his awesome mother.

"So your full name is..?"

I already know what it's gonna be, I just want confirmation.

"My name is Keefe Sencen."

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(oh no I committed swear without censor guess I'm going to hell lol)

(also I tried to do actual paragraph breaks, are you proud of me, ShadowOfPeace?

also, to everyone who follows me who also likes Keeper Of The Lost Cities, this is your gift.)
