~• What if ? •~

- Hunter's pov:
I woke up to chirping, red fluff. Slowly i started to gain consciousness. My eyes shot open in shock when I realized that a palisman sat in front of my face. Then I remembered that it's only Flapjack and I have nothing to worry about. But it's still weird to live with a palisman, while you can't have one legally. - Good morning, Flapjack- I said while a smile found it's way onto my face. But faded a moment after. - You shouldn't just wake me up like this, you know? I don't want you to get caught. If only one person in the coven would know...I- no... we would be dead by now.- lil' rascal seemed less happy because of this so I gave him a pat on his little head. [I'm fangirling It's so wholesome in my head 🥺, anyways]

The red creature, chirped with definite happiness and flew off to his little place. It was a little blanket between books. No one could really see it, because it was hidden pretty good. I was laying there for around sixteen minutes. But I can't just lay there and be useless. Emperor wouldn't be happy that I'm using my free time for doing nothing, while I can learn. Maybe I will read some helpful books. New informations will be always useful. I read only twenty-eight pages when I start hearing little stomps on the ground that can also be called footsteps.

Loud banging on the door could be heard moments later. Of course i knew who it was. The little angry demon, the only one being so aggressive towards my doors, Kikimora. [#Doorlivesmatter 🚪].
-Come in!-
I semi yelled with a disgusted look painted on my face. I hate her. She only tries to kill me all the time and get me in trouble. I sat on my bed. -The emperor Belos wants for you in the throne room. You have ten minutes brat. -
She closed the door with a bang. Why so aggressively? She could at least once be nice while not around Belos.

I jumped of my bed which was a really bad idea, because I felt my bruises from last day again. Uncle was a little rough but it's for my good. I failed him and I shall get punished for not bringing what he wanted. Hunter stop thinking about these type of stuff. At least not now you can't be late or you'll get in trouble. I slipped on my trousers and shirt. After that came my cape and 'helmet-mask'. I was in my full uniform so now only thing left to deal with is Belos. I would love to get rascal with me but it's too dangerous for him to be there. -Sorry but you gotta stay here. Please don't move from your safe spot until you hear me call your name.-
I gotta make sure he is safe and invisible before I leave. I don't want the coven to find my secret.

Im in front of emperor's 'hall'. Deep breath in and out, you're gonna make it out alive... Hopefully. I knocked and heard a faint -come in- from uncle. I stepped into the room. After getting closer to the throne i bowed to show respect for him.

-Emperor Belos's pov:
As hunter bowed I looked at him. I still see potential in him. I just need to get him a rougher training so he would be ready for every mission. I gotta make him the best guard I could get. No matter what cost it will take.

- You can get up now. Last time you brought me a broken key. You FAILED again... I'm gonna give you a mission BUT if you won't complete it. I'll have to send you for some more trainings until you are ready.- I said with a cold tone

- Of course. I'm sorry uncle.-

Then i changed it into a little bit warmer one but still a stern voice.
- You know it's all because i care for you and i want the best so you could have a good future. Your next mission is to bring me 17 palismans. It's a really easy mission so i hope you don't fail. Understood hunter? -
i looked at him waiting for his response.
- Of course not uncle! I'll do my best not to fail .-
He replied. Which made a little smile appear on my face. Such a fast reply and so much pressure on his words.
- Great. You are dismissed. -

-Hunter's pov:
I swear to titan I saw the smile he had from under his mask when I replied
*Uf* at least today was easy for me. Now I have to get Flapjack from my room and head out to get the mission done. On the way to my room i met three of many Steve's that are in the castle. They were talking about some kind of project that is not important to me so I ignored it and went straight up to my room.

After I closed the door. I called out
- Rascal, I'm back. We are going on a mission. -
I saw a red bird fly to me from among the books. He got under my cape and I sneaked him out of the room with me. A few minutes later we were already flying through the sky. I love the feeling of the breeze and freedom but I gotta steal the palismans. No matter how much I don't want to. I have to do it.

- I'm so sorry that you have to watch me do this job rascal. But i have to or bad things are gonna happen.-

I looked at the palismans I was hunting for. I can't do this! This is too much for me. But what's wrong with me I did this job not caring about how sad they are. *Ugh* I give up. I'm not gonna hunt any palisman. It just doesn't feel right.
- Rascal do you want a nice little fly through the sky?-
The red bird turned into a staff immediately. Then they only had fun.

...But the end of the week will come...

~•End of the week•~

-3rd pov:
Hunter was pacing around his room with bad thoughts flooding his mind. What if uncle will kill him? Kick him out? Lock him in his room? Why are there always full papers of bad endings? In this moment he couldn't control himself. Overthinking is sh•t. He quickly walked into his bathroom and grabbed razor sharp blade. And started making lines on his already injuried wrists.

•One - useless
°Two - waste of space
•Three - failure
°Four - disappointment
•Five - dumb
°Six - could do better
.....
°Eight - pathetic
•Nine - broke the rules
°Ten - traitor
•Eleven - letting emotions out
°Twelve - letting...........
•Thirteen - ...............

-Hunter's pov:
It hurts. But I must get myself into one piece. If I will be late it will be even worse than normally. I took the first aid kit and bandaged my arms. It's time to go... Hopefully I will make out it out alive. I was knocking on emperor's doors to his throne room and heard -come in-.

I bowed to my uncle and stayed like this until he said for me to stop.
- So Hunter. How much did you get? -
- I-I didn't get any p-palismans uncle.-
I stuttered out as a response. I saw the bright blue eyes of his shine under with anger his mask.
- How hard is it to bring 17 palismans?! You really are a failure aren't you?!-

After screaming at me for how much he gives and I can't even do a simple mission. It started.

The next thing is just a spike hitting my neck. I coughed while blood was making it's way down my neck. Hopefully it didn't slice my throat too much. The spike disappeared and uncle stood in front of me. He choked me and threw me across the room. A few punches later i was still laying down on the floor. There was a 'small' pudle of red crimson blood under me. The bruises on my whole body ached even more when I heard the word.
- pathetic -
from my uncle after the beating. The floor underneath me was painted red because of the blood. I was terrified. Whines of pain escaped my mouth while making the smallest moves. I fucked up. I'm a disappointment. Uncle took me to my room. I though that he would kill but to my surprise he started helping me with blood and bruises. Does he really care?
Maybe he does...
