F/N : Friend's Name
Y/P : Your Pronouns
Y/B : Your Bully's NameAnother bell rings as you walk through the scuffed halls, there's my volleyball team... you frown, trying to hide in a way. You had tried for the team with high hopes. You tried so hard to make friends, you thought you had been doing well, but by the time you made the team, everyone had made their own groups.
With 15 on your team, you had been the odd one out. It felt like middle school all over again. All the isolation, and therapy after. Your new subscription to stay okay, all to come to this hell hole. For what? To feel the same way over and over again. You continued walking past the girls, head down with your tail between your legs.
You were preparing yourself for making it through practice, and the excruciating isolation. During partner times, you pretended to drink water or sat to the side. Eventually someone took pity on you, whether that be the coaches or another girl, and they'd offer to hit. It was only 3rd period and you were already dreading the thing. Counting the clocks tunes and turns.
Then finally, Lunch. You couldn't even eat solids anymore. Your disorder had gotten so bad, that even the thought of eating solids could make you nauseous. So you took out your gross protein drink and began to make yourself gag to drink it- again.
When your ear peeped when hearing a certain voice.. you remembered that voice. Them.. The bell rang. They literally go to a different school. I'm just imaginative, more psychotic- but I'm safe. I'm sure. You open the door to see "Yoo!!" A voice said. Yep. Them.
Your previous friend and a few others walked up to you. "Are school is doing a tour of your gym for environmental class." One says, "I love your hair!" Another adds, "Why haven't you responded to our texts? Bro- you know Y/b left the chat months ago?" one of them spoke, "cool." You just say.
They glance at your extra bag, "Why do you have so many bags- Jesus!" F/n questions. "I'm.. on the volleyball team so.." you say. "No way she made the team- she can barely jump!" Another adds. "Actually.. I go by Y/P.. now.." you say.
They all look a bit quiet before saying "Okay!" Or something like "Sure." They finally speak up again, "Doesn't F/n go here?" Another friend says, beginning to leave. "Yep.." you say, "can you show us building 11, they have a film class there." One says.
Your fists clench. "Actually I'm a bit busy." You stand up. "Dude just show us it!" Another second of silence before you say "Why don't you just ask B/n? I'm sure she'd know." You say, tilting your head.
"We weren't the ones who added-" one begins.
"God- SHUT UP! I go through canisters and canisters of pills- and hours worth of therapy- and it's still not enough! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE ME! So-Just FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! You were terrible friends! You told me to kill myself, you made me try to self-harm- TWICE! And none of you took a moment to listen to me when I told you what she did- no because F/n's opinion was more important- I was just some stupid kid you gathered in elementary!" You finally let out.
They all looked pretty shocked before you took a step back, falling.
You suddenly feel the impact of a cold rough floor, looking up you see a man- in a cracked mask. You flinch before looking back. A door closed- a strange door. "Now, how did you get through?" The- man- no thing spoke. You just blink again.
Trying to see what was real. You scanned the room. You finally stand up, "I- fell through." You say, "Fell? Oh, you couldn't have just fallen! It's taken us months to build that door- just for you to trip into it?!" The man begins to heat up- literally- he was dripping. You cringe, before taking this as a distraction to book it up the stairs.
"Get her!" That same voice shrieks. You look around for a hiding spot, deciding on a pillar holding a gauntlet. You hear men walking past you. You look to your left- bingo- window. You take a look, 4 stories maybe more drop. You cringe, yikes.. and just make a run down the hall, panting as you open a random door and lock yourself in.
You hear a commotion and see 2 people talking. A boy, your age- Elf ears?? And a strange looking- goblin- woman. "I'm done with you, golden guard. Always in my way! I'll make sure you won't have yours with me anymore!" She threatens.
"Just try- no need to be a sore loser." He teases back. "Really? Tough mouth for someone without magic!" She suddenly says, as his staff disappeared. He hissed almost, "Even I thought you'd be able to see through a silly little illusion like that." She smirks.
"Give him back- last warning or I'll-" he begins, "Belos sure will find it interesting you didn't donate him..!" She interrupts. That staff's little bird top was quite cute.. you grunt in annoyance. You were gonna have to help, but that boy's cute too. You wait for the gremlin to attack, for you to quickly snatch the cardinal's pole.
"Yoink!" You say, unconsciously. "Huh?!" The gremlin woman questions. "I'll- Uh shoot this thing!" You threaten, putting it to her neck. She looks pretty scared- so I'm probably doing this right. "Fine.." she grumbled.
"I'm gonna ditch- if you follow I'll um-" you begin, scanning her. A key laid on her chest. You snatch it, "I'll- eat this or something too! Don't follow me! That's a promise!" You say, letting loose. You step back slowly, looking at the boy for a second.
"And- He'll escort me! I'll eat this shit I swear!" You add. "Fine.." she adds, The golden Guard nods before going with you. You look at the key. "Can I have your mask?" you ask. He steps back in shock. "What? No!" you frown. "I mean I'm still kinda hungry.." you begin, opening your mouth and dangling the key. "Okay! Okay!"
He takes off the mask and hands it to you. You blush and gulp. Elf ears! "I kinda need the cape too." he groans and hands you that too. You put on the cape, "This cape is radical!! Totally get why you wear it. The Mask is pretty cool but I don't know why you'd want to cover your face." you put the key around your neck. He tilts his head, "Thanks.. But I can't have everyone knowing I'm your age, human. Now let's get this over with."
You nod and let him lead the way. "Why are you even here?" you ask out of the blue. "I'm one of Belos's best. What do you mean?" He turns, "I mean, that chic was totally a bully. And that goopy guy downstairs seemed problematic. Real villain qualities." you assure. "And you're just a misunderstood pretty boy who just wants to be loved and have his bird to be safe. "
His eyes widened. "I totally got your number, boy." you wink, "who's Belos?" he took a few seconds before answering. "The.. He's the ruler of this place. And my uncle." you frown. "That's a lot of baggage. But blood doesn't mean anything. Nothing means anything. But being happy is pretty nice. You should try it or something." you say, smirking.
You look at the gaping exit gate. "I'd usually not give my captor an advantage but.. I hope you'll give me a 5-minute start. This key looks important though." you linger for a minute. "Yeah, I'll keep this key. Probably gonna need it for my wall. And to remember this dream."
"You're not gonna cheat are you?" Hunter looks down, you throw him his staff and put on his mask, hood on. You take a step away, before booking it. Leaving him with his bird.
