Guts x Reader Part 1 (The Thief)

~~

Just one wrong turn and you were in an unfamiliar alley.

The place was dark wet and cold. Your stomach burned from hunger as the rain seeped through your hood. You didn't let that bother you as you hurried down the alley.

In one quick move the hood got yanked off and someone had you by the throat scaring you.

You were frozen in fear as the very person you tried to evade lifted you high into the air.

Water trickled down your face now being completely exposed to the rain.

"Why did you steal from me girl" his dark voice growled giving you goosebumps.
His threatening gaze had you paralyzed.

The man strangling you must have been ten times your size and made of pure muscle.

You overheard him speaking with a tiny elf in the bar earlier. You had to do a double take, you thought elves were just from fairytales.

While he sat at the table eating many were getting ready to approach and pick a fight with him.

He wasn't from around here and they didn't like that..

These were dark times though and one had to do what they must to survive..

You pick pocketed him the moment they swung their fists at him and disappeared for the shadows.

You went unnoticed.

Or so you thought..

"Guts! Put her down she's frail! You'll kill her!" The elf fluttered close to your ear making you flinch in fear.

That fear soon faded as the colour in your face started to fade.

Your body went limp and he faltered for a moment out of surprise.

Had he really just killed you?

"How pathetic. Couldn't even-"

His words were cut short as a small blade jammed into his hand forcing him to lose grip as you slipped out of his hold and darted away.

The elf was just as startled and had to hold back a giggle seeing how you really managed to trick Guts of all people.

Your light footsteps splashed through the dirty puddles as you ran for your life.

You could hear the loud clanking of his heavy boots as he chased after you like a machine.

You wanted to scream it were so scary. It felt like a demon was after you.

This small village was so barren of work and crops that hardly any were lucky enough to afford food.

It pushed people to do horrible things just to get it.

The second you saw him you knew he'd have coin..

Mercenary-types always did.
