A lost cause. (Hunter TOH angst)

A heart worth nothing

Please read the triggers in the description of this story, i dont want anyone getting too upset. Enjoy.

Hunter was currently in emperors throne room, trembling in fear at the silence. He could just tell how furious his uncle was with him. He took his mask off, staring up at the angry figure. "Uncle im sorry- ill do better please- i-i didn't mean for that to happen i-" Hunter was harshly cut off from Belos striking him with his magic, causing hunter to take a harsh fall. He gasped for air, the wind being knocked out of him and having a huge gash across his chest.

Hunter sobbed as he held his chest, choking up coughs and spitting out blood. It felt so hard for him to breath, he felt dizzy. "I really thought you could be trusted, Hunter." Belos said with a harsh tone, his mask looking more intimidating than ever. "Leave my sight." He commanded, forcing Hunter to stand. Hunter cried in pain, as belos put hunters mask on his face. "Don't speak a word to anyone, don't hiccup either. Act as if you are fine. Now leave." He said, pushing hunter.

Hunter left the throne room, running back to his room where he would be safe. He could feel the guards eyes on him. Every single one. They watched as he was bleeding, and running. No one offered to help? No, no no no. He doesn't deserve the help, he can do this on his own!! Right? He was THE golden guard, surely he can handle a small wound. Hunter bursted into his room, slamming it shut. He threw his mask off, leaning against his door. He breathed quickly and heavily, tears flowing from his eyes.

Hunter stood there for a few good seconds, before looking down at his bloodied uniform. The sight of it made him feel so sick, he wanted to throw up. And not because of the blood. Because of the meaning the outfit meant. He quickly took it off, throwing it. He panted frantically. He stopped everything upon hearing a chirp..FLAPJACK!! He ran to his bed side, picking up the small bird. "F-flapjack- we need to go. I cant- i cant do this- please.." he begged, hearing him chirp words. He nodded, setting the bird down. He quickly took off his clothing, bandaged up what he could and put on some normal clothing. (Which he had very little of.)

He gathered about 4 important things, other than food and an aid kit. It all fit into his backpack, so he was ready to leave this hell. He watched as flapjack turned into a staff, and quickly flew away with the bird. Leaving the room. The castle. The horrid memories. He didn't know how long he was in the air, but he was now in the forest. Him and flapjack were getting tired, so they finally got down from the air. Hunter watched as his companion turned from staff, back to bird. He smiled softly, coughing a bit.

He walked to a nearby tree, sitting against it. "I cant believe i just ran..ran from belos..my only family." He said to flapjack, who was now on his shoulder. "I thought everything he did was right.. it was what i was taught. But now, im starting to think otherwise.. if he cared about me as much as he said he did i wouldn't be here right now." Hunter said with a harsh tone, not realizing yet how big of a thing he just did.

He took off his backpack, "glad i brought blankets. I doubt we're gonna find shelter, but this is better than hiding you. Maybe we can go up in a tree? I don't move when i sleep often so.." hunter trailed off on what exactly he was talking about, and soon just put is backpack on again. He stood up, wincing at the amount of pain he felt in his chest. Flapjack stayed on his shoulder as they walked through the forest, trying to find a tree with a thick and sturdy enough branch.

Hunter soon came upon a huge tree, it looked to be easy to climb and had incredibly thick branches. He sighed in relief as soon he was going to be able to relax. He stretched as good as he could without feeling pain in his chest, and then started to climb the tree. It took a bit of effort, but he soon made it too the lowest and thickest Branch. "Okay flapjack, i brought like...8 blankets. A really thick then multiple thin. Do you think we could cover ourselves up with maybe 6 of those blankets?" Flapjack chirped in response, making Hunter smile.
