Last journey with a new beginning || scaramouche x y/n

The only way to guide you back - Chapter 13

You both headed back to the hotel, had warm showers and headed to bed. At least Scaramouche did. You stayed up till he fell asleep. Plotting your escape plan, the place was perfect, the timing was perfect, and you had just the right tools. While you were handing our flyers and Scaramouche was collecting fees from some stall, you happened to pass by some 'design your own' jewelry thing. Since they had all the stone tools, they also had a mini stone cutter. You asked if it was okay to drop by some time to cut through the bracelet youve been "trying to get off for some time since it was stuck" they happily agreed. If you would've had the chance to cut it off right there and then, you would have, but Scaramouche had his eyes on you and you weren't going to risk it.

Now that the balladeer was finally asleep, you started heading out. You had already packed your bag back together and stole some mora from Scaramouche, so all you had to do was leave. You took the bag and headed out, slowly and quietly closing the door, making sure he didn't wake up.
Once it was closed you sighed of relief and started heading off. You took one last look behind yourself before you stepped out the hotel.

"SHIT-"

You felt your whole body sting like you were attacked by a million wasps, which made you fall right back onto the hotel floor. Suddenly, the stinging stopped. Weird. It couldn't have been that he woke up....right? You took another step out the hotel and same thing repeated. Oh. Of course. The  bracelet had a fucking tracker in it letting you go in a certain radius. But how come it didn't sting when you were in the headquarters...maybe you can modify it? Maybe the tracking system only worked from outside the headquarters, meaning in the headquarters it didn't matter how far you went as long as you were there and not outside the barrier.
Seems like there really was no escape...was there?

"Where are we going now huh?"

You turned around, only to be met by Scaramouche.

Shit.

Quick, think of something.

"Going? uhm yeah? Going to ask if they have any hygiene products to lend to a woman with periods"

You snapped back, highlighting the few words by saying them extra clear, before heading towards the front desk of the hotel to ask if they had any products to lend. Scaramouche just stood there and rolled his eyes before following you.

[time skip]
It had been hours since then, and you and Scaramouche were currently heading back to the headquarters. You had been hiking non stop, with whining "are we there yet", only to get threats or silent treatments as an answer. This was boring as hell. Views were pretty though you had to admit, but you were tired and thought you needed a break since you were definitely not going to walk for another 8 hours. You finally sat down by some rock to rest, only to be kicked at by Scaramouche.

"Do you need to whine so much?!"

"For the sake of Barbatos, can't we rest for a bit?!"

"Why can't we walk and just get this over with and stop waistinf time instead?! or are you too weak for that?!"

"I'm t i r e d"

"well i'm not?!"

"Then you can walk, i'm resting."

"Seriously?! stop whining you lazy bitch and get the fuck up, we have...11 hours to walk?!"

"Yeah exactly, sorry but i'm not up to it-"

"Shit-"

"What-"

"Let's go, now!"

Suddenly, Scaramouche pulled you up and threw you through a portal, only for him to follow right after. You tripped and fell on a stone cold floor, only to realise you were suddenly in Scaramouches office.

"We had been walking for over 18 hours this whole time, when we could've used a portal instead?! What the fuck man?!"

"This was of emergency, if you would've maybe walked faster we would've arrived by now, and I wouldn't have had to use the portal?!"

"How would have we arrived 12hrs earlier if I only would've 'walked faster' what's the fucking logic there-"

You were cut off by the office door being opened.

"Sir, the meeting with the Harbingers is-"

"Ye ye, I know, I'll be there in 5min, you may be excused."

The soldier nodded before closing the door behind himself. Scaramouche sighed as he looked down at the ground while keeping his eyes closed.

"(Y/N)"

"Y-yes?!"

"You may be dismissed for today, I have a few important things to catch up to. Tomorrows work day starts an hour later than usual just so you know."

He murmured. You nodded in agreement and left the office to go to your room. As you finally arrived back to your room, your legs had given up on working so you plotted onto your bed and headed off to slumber.
