~A/N: Danny replied to me on stream and said he didn't mind Arny being my villain so here's that! Cw for kidnapping, weapons, and fighting.~

When you awaken, your hands are bound with rough twine and you're gagged with a cloth tied around your face. Your ankles are bound too. You open your eyes to discover you're in an iron cage- made by him you assume.

You start to panic, but calm yourself. If you're going to get out of this, you need a steady head and a relaxed demeanor. Through the bars, you see Arny with his back turned. He has his dirty work atire on and just the sight of him makes you want to hurl.

'Calm yourself, Y/N. You have to be smart. You're trapped and this man is dangerous. Even worse, he has a twisted mind and a sick obsession with you.', you remind yourself before making any moves.

The cloth is loose enough to where you could probably get it out of your mouth with your tongue, but right now speech is your least concern. The ties seem redundant since you're already in a cage, but that makes you question the integrity of the cage. Arny is clearly covering all of his bases.

The only option you have left is to reason with him. You're trapped and securely at that. You dart your tongue out to push the cloth beneath your chin before taking a long steady breath.

"I want to talk, Arny."

"Oh, you're awake my pet. I see you've loosened your gag. What is there your pathetic self could possibly want to say to me?"

"I thought you loved me. How did we end up here?"

"You're kidding right? I loved you, past tense, but you threw me away like yesterday's trash."

Gulp. "It's not like that, really! It wasn't personal, I was just more of an isolated type. I enjoy being single is all. I'm sure you're a great guy! Your letters and gifts were all so kind!", Yeah right. A great guy doesn't try to burn your house down with you in it and then kidnaps you when it doesn't work.

"You say that now. How sweet and desperate you are! Here's what really happened. I put my love and soul into courting you. I doted on you. Sure our paths separated in an unfortunate way, but the second I saw you look at him...I knew your fake single life story was a joke at my expense."

"Him? Have you been spying on us? How did you even find me? Furthermore, how did you even escape jail?"

"Yes HIM. What does he have that I don't? Is it money? Are you that greedy? Additionally, how I got out is not of importance. Need to know basis."

"I mean you kidnapped me and put me in a cage, I'd like to think I'm in the need to know category. The Master and I aren't even together. You're mistaken. I couldn't care less about money."

"THE MASTER?!  You call him that and then have the gall to lie to my face."

"I-I-It's not like that I swear! I'm just his maid! An employee!", you hope he doesn't catch your stutter.

"Oh sweetheart, you must think I'm truly an idiot. I'm not. You're now MY slave. How does it feel being the one who's trapped?"

You tremor at the thought of his words. They weigh heavy in your mind. Slave. 'There's only one person I would be a sla- no no not the time to be thinking of that. I'll find a way to get out of this. I'm strong. I'm a damsel. I'm in distress. But I'm not a damsel in distress.', you think to yourself.

"Oh now you're silent? It's the slave part, huh? Never thought you'd be here, yet here you are hanging on my every word. You're at my mercy. I love it.", he says with an evil grin on his face.

Just then you hear something.

Footsteps.

'Could be anyone... but I know that sound. I've heard those footsteps for two months now. Please let it be him. He said he'd protect me. Please let it be true.', you plead in your mind.

BANG. The door to his hovel busts open. Your heart skips a beat when you see Danny. He's not in his usual formal attire. He looks prepared for a fight with a sword in hand.

"OH THIS IS PERFECT! Are you supposed to be her knight in shining armor now? You think you can save her? You think you can beat me? My specialty is weapons, or did she not tell you? You both are pathetic!", Arny spits out with pure hatred saturating his every word.

Danny laughs and retorts. "Let me guess, you're also unaware I'm 1,637 years old and have been practicing swordsmanship since I was a kid?"

Arny steps back and you can't help but flash a small grin at Danny's words. Arny is so fucked. You back up as much as you can in the cage so you don't get caught in the crossfire of their match.

Arny took a swing at Danny and he expertly dodges it. You can see the fire in Arny's eyes, but his fury makes him less precise. Danny takes notice to this and taunts him. The more emotional he gets, the weaker his fight will be.

"What's wrong, Arny? Are you really that jealous?"

Swing. Miss.

"You wish she was with you instead of me?"

Swing. Miss.

"Does it make you angry that she's in my bed every night?"

Your ears perk up. You've certainly never been in his bed, but you get his intentions. Still it makes you wonder if it's something Danny's thought about before this moment.

Arny's taken aback by those last words and Danny slashes Arny in the stomach. His knees buckle and he falls to the floor. It's not fatal, but he's not getting up anytime soon. He's trying to say "You're still mine!", but his words have less weight when he's spitting blood with them.

Luckily Danny brought back up to shackle Arny and take him back to his prison. Reportedly they figured out how he escaped and reinforced it. You still think it's ridiculous he wasn't found sooner. Maybe you wouldn't be in this position if they did.

You're still shaken up, but Danny uncages and unties you. He looks terrified. It's an expression he didn't show during the fight and in fact, you've never seen him show this side of him all together.

You can finally exhale the breath you've been holding in. You begin to speak but he overtakes your words with the tightest embrace you've ever had. He pulls away and talks before you get the chance.

"I'm so happy you're safe, My Darling. You have no idea how scared I was. I went to apologize in the morning for missing dinner and you were gone. I thought maybe you'd gone for a walk or something but it was so cold and windy. Plus the window was open. I knew something was wrong. I remembered what had happened to you with that cruel man and suspected this was his doing. I'm just grateful I found you in time before he did who knows what- oh my god I'm being so self-centered. Are you okay?! Are you hurt?! What did he do?!"

You grab hold of both of his forearms both to steady yourself and to comfort him.

"I'm okay. Luckily, I distracted him with conversation. Funny how bad guys like to talk about their evil plan before executing it. I just have a few small lacerations where the twine was digging into my skin. I'm so grateful for you. I didn't want to have to be saved but I was trapped like a dog in a cage. I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do and I just...", you trail off and let tears roll down your face after having to act strong in front of Arny.

Danny wipes away your tears and then holds your face in his hands. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I promised you I'd protect you from that monster and I failed you.", he lets go and hangs his head down.

You laugh and it takes him by surprise. "Are you kidding me? You did protect me, even if it was a tad delayed. That's what's important. I'm okay and I'm safe because of you. You kept your promise.", now on your feet, it was your turn to hug him. It felt like what you both needed in that moment.

Affection isn't something either of you have displayed, but when you've experienced a life or death situation together, things feel different. Even after all that you just went through, the thought of affection with Danny made you blush and grin. This was a change you'll happily welcome.
