Escaped - Hunter/Golden Guard x Reader

Part 5 - Just A Small Mishap

You wake up to the sound crumbling all around you. You look up to the roof to see the claw of a griffin being pushed down into your room, along with a person who you can't see from the lighting, and the tiles of the roof are falling around you.

You immediately jolt up and run to the door. You use the key from before, but it isn't turning. You feel a strong force hit your back and you can feel your strength escape you as you exhale forcefully.

You wake up to a cold, empty room. You sit up and take some steps forward. That's when you see your old middle school. You hear giggling from afar.

"Ew, look at that ugly person's (h/c) hair. I've never seen anything so hideous!"

"Did they cut their hair with a butter knife?"

"I heard their mommy cuts their hair for them. I'd never let her cut mine!"

Your eyes open widely, and you see your peers grow into a monstrous fusion of all the people who have hurt you.

You turn away, running as fast as you can. You can feel your eyes begin to water. The floor begins to fall under your feet. The abomination grabs you.

"GASP!" You can feel yourself waking up, again. You are brought back to your senses as you feel a sharp pain in your back and your left arm. You see them covered in bandages. You look around to see that you are in a messy room with an opened old timey window, two shelves above your head full of miscellaneous objects to your left, and to the right side of the bed there is a table covered in scrolls, books and a first aid kit that is opened.

You wonder if this is yet another dream, so you try to sit up but are incapable from the pain that the action puts you in. You notice that in your uninjured hand is a book, it's something to pass the time. It's titled From Bones To Earth: A Study Of Wild Magic, huh.

You begin to read the book, around halfway through you hear the door opening.

"Hey," Hunter shuts the door behind himself, "are you feeling any better?"

You blush at the sight of him, you didn't expect him to care so much, "yeah. I'm okay, I think. Where am I?"

"This is my bedroom," he sits at the empty spot next to you on the bed, "I wasn't sure if you were still alive, you got crushed by the roof of the building."

Your eyes widen at the information.

"I'm sorry, I-I should have taken you to the other room but it was already being used and-"

He hesitates as you grab his hand, you smile, "thanks."

"I- you're welcome," he looks down at his hand that you have your fingers interlocked with, "is this another human thing?"

"Yeah, handholding," you whisper as your eyes begin to shut again. You fall asleep once again.
