Alarms immediately blared in her head.
That panicky feeling that had settled was immediately crept back up as he took a few more steps towards her.
"Are you deaf? I asked who you were and what you're doing here?" His eyes narrowed into a glare as he assessed her. She didn't appear to be a threat, but he couldn't be too careful.
For all he knew, this girl could be some sort of spy for enemy forces who came to ruin his life for whatever reason.
( Y/N ) instinctively urged her body to move backwards, but was reminded of the tree that lied behind her. Searching for another escape route, she chose to dash to the side. However, the moment she applied pressure to the sprained ankle, she let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.
"Hey-" The boy was prepared to chase her, but it was cut short as he watched her helplessly fall to the ground. His eyes searched her body for any injuries and fell on her now swollen ankle turning a deep shade of purple.
Visibly wincing at the sight of the injury, he set the pipe down and reached out her, "Are you okay? That ankle looks pretty bad."
"No!" Acting immediately, ( Y/N ) distanced herself from him before he could touch her. "Please.. Please don't touch me... You'll die."
He had to take a moment to fully process what this girl just said. He'll die? That's the most preposterous thing he has ever heard. "This isn't the time to play games. You're hurt. Let me look at your ankle-"
"I'm not joking," she was quick to cut him off, "Look," placing her hand against a patch of grass, the color turned from a bright, healthy green to a color darker than blacker. Trailing her hand up to the trunk of a tree, it took no more than a few seconds for it to become decayed and withered.
This was definitely enough for him to believe her claim. He had to act cautiously. Well, he could just leave her here. She seemed to want to be alone when he first spotted her. But she was hurt. The best thing to do was to help her until she was healed and then send her on her way.
"I-I don't know why or how it happened. I was home with my parents and suddenly they dropped dead. Everything I touch dies and I-I don't know what to do," recalling the recent events brought more tears to her eyes.
The boy noticed that the more stressed she became, the more greenery was dying. Her perimeter was becoming larger. It was enough to make him guess that this was an emotional reaction.
"O-Okay, calm down," he was quick to try and settle her down, "Let's calm down first, okay? Take a few deep breaths and don't worry. We'll figure this out." Hopefully.
Choking back her tears, ( Y/N ) nodded and took a few deep breaths. It helped her to think straighter, but it didn't soothe all her worries.
"Ace," the boy introduced himself, "What's your name?"
