The sound of screams and the sight of blood was a common sight for (Y/N), the occurrence this time however was different. The person who was bloody wasn't screaming anymore.

They laid lifeless on the floor..

(Y/N) was the one who discovered the body below the figure of their supposed sister. (Y/N) was taken aback and quickly called for help, in a state of shock, they laid emotionless while help discussed where they would go. Now motherless and fatherless, where would they go?

Until scouts were informed that someone was ready to take them in.

While (Y/N)'s sister got in-prisoned, (Y/N) had been taken to the Emperors Castle.

(Y/N) sat confused as they never heard of any interaction from anyone in the Emperors coven. Let alone anyone from any coven.

As (Y/N) arrives, they soon find out who it is that will take them in.

As we arrived, I sat quietly. Thoughts running in my head as I got off the transportation vehicle. The thought of residing in the Emperors Castle, let alone being taken care of by someone who worked in the coven was a lot to handle. The moment I walk in, the eyes on me are too much to bear as I feel shivers run up my spine as well as nausea that fills me up, threatening to burst.

Walking through the long hallways, my mind is still racing. I arrive at a big door and am ushered in as I walk into one of the largest rooms I've ever seen. Looking around I notice a throne and someone sitting on it.

The Emperor.

I slowly get anxious as I start to silently fidget, Emperor Belos then begins to speak.

"I've heard about the passing of your mother. I deeply apologize for your loss. I'm sure you know who I am already?"

I slowly nod, avoiding eye contact, he then speaks again. "Great, I am the family friend that contacted the scouts that responded to your cries for help. Your family and I have been in close contact for a long time. I am glad to finally meet you" My eyes widen as I look up, thoughts like 'this is the person who my family has been friends with' as well as many others roam my head as I sat there dumbfounded. After a minute I notice he is looking for a response, "I am glad I have person who would take me in" I respond. His body language shows contempt and care as his mask obstructs his face.

"I will have scouts lead you to your temporary room with another scout. While we get yours ready, get rest for tomorrow." Emperor Belos explains, I nod in agreement. A small smile across my face, scouts take me from the room in which I am led to a room that has Golden Guard plastered on the door. The scout knocks as sounds are heard from inside the room. A boy around my age opens the door and glares at the scout and me, " what do you need?" He asks, the scout explains the situation and the boy gives a tiny scowl while letting me in the room.

" let me make a pallet on the ground for you to sleep on, don't bother me, do not speak unless spoken to, I'd prefer for this to be as short as it can be." He explains, I give a nod as he grabs extra sheets from a random shelf as well as pillows and he sets up a pallet on the ground that I lay on after he is finished. My bag is settled on the ground as I slowly fall asleep. Until I am woken up by a scream, I sit up and look around. As I look around, I notice that the boy was at his desk, seeming like he was reading. I sat there to collect my thoughts, holding onto my (Favorite stuffed animal) The scream was rolling on and on in my head, it was a feminine scream, similar to my mothers.

I open my eyes again and there is my moms dead face staring at me all while getting slowly closer, her body is all contorted and the boy is not at his desk. I hold in a scream as tears well up in my eyes, I then hear a voice. "Hey, Hey, are you alright?" I jump and shake my head, all that was there was gone now and the boy is sitting next if not sitting on the pallet on the ground with a semi concerned face. He blinks and I blink back, "I'm okay, just some random hallucinations" I respond as I softly smiled.

His eyes widen as he looks around, "why did you say that so calmly?" He asks, I shrug my shoulders. He calms down and stands up, "I forgot to introduce myself earlier, I could tell you were tired" he says as he sits at the chair facing towards me. "My name is Hunter, I don't normally tell others my name and many of the scouts don't know it so it's best just to call me golden guard whenever there's others around." He tells me, I smile and introduce myself "My name is (Y/N) (L/N)" he looks at me and his face ever so slightly softens before it tenses back up. "Although, I do have a question" I say, he nods gesturing me to go on, " Why Golden Guard as the name I use, I saw it on your door but I'm a little confused." I asked.

"I am apart of the Emperors Coven, the Emperors right hand man. Golden Guard is basically my alias" He explains, I nod and look around as to see if there is any clocks around. "If you're looking for the time, it's currently 4:27 am" the boy who I now know is named Hunter answers, I dramatically lay down while breathing out a heavy sigh. "I have a question." Hunter asks, I raise my head up just the tiniest bit while opening my eyes. "hm?" I respond "Why were you so calm when explaining your hallucinations" he asks. "I already basically told you, I don't know. I guess it's maybe because I've dealt with them so long." I answer as I shrug my shoulders. Hunter turns around in his chair now facing the desk and turns off the main light while Turing on the desk light.

I lay my head down and close my eyes assuming he doesn't want to talk anymore. I yet again fall asleep to awake next morning.
