Escaped - Hunter/Golden Guard x Reader

Part 1 - Where Are We?

You just started Junior year, you get average grades at Gravesfield High School in Gravesfield, Connecticut. Your name is (y/n) (l/n). You are a recognizable face to the ones around, as you are easy with small connections. You have seemingly never been able to make a deep connection with anyone.

It's the first Tuesday of the school year and you are taking your daily walk down the street. You chose to go a different way today. The way you usually don't go, mostly because of the creepy house down that way. It freaks you out, but you felt a need for a small adventure today.

You can feel the breeze as the door of that abandoned house closes behind you. You look back and there's a bright flash within the house. You question it, then notice the girl, Luz Noceda, who was just there has disappeared.

You smile and run towards it. You're ready for an adventure, today has just been far too boring. As you get closer, you hesitate. The creepiness is a lot, even for you. Come on, (y/n), you said you wanted an adventure. Now you've got one. You run up the small steps, almost slipping on a patch of mold. You grab the handle, shut your eyes tightly, and run through.

You fall out of the portal face first. It seems like you had came through as it was closing. "Ah, another one?" an old woman with big, grey, poofy hair, strangely pointy ears, and a red, torn up dress adjourned by a golden jewel. She looks down at you.

You look up in confusion, and you see that girl, Luz, from earlier. "(y/n)? What are you doing?"

"Uh, hello," you awkwardly get up and swipe the dirt off of your clothes. "I got bored and was curious about that creepy looking house."

"Well I was about to leave, heh," mentioned Luz. She swiftly grabs your arm and runs under the tent, meeting a dead end.

You two come to a halting stop when you a view of the world that you're surrounded with. Dragons, fairies, ice creams that eat their customers, millipedes with human faces.

"Oh, no no no no no, what's going on?" Luz begins to worry. As she is panicking, you decide to wander off. You don't know Luz at all, and she doesn't seem very keen to have small talk at the moment, which you're best at.

You continue wandering around, exploring the world around you, late into the night.
