Bam!

The door slammed, and the ten year old jumped onto her bed crying.

Why was this world so unfair to her?

Her mother favors her brothers more because they looked more like her father.

'What's so good about father anyways? He wasn't there when we needed him..'

She hugged her stuff animals, and closed her eyes.

She woke up to the sound of doors banging, her mother has come.

'Is mother gonna apologize to me? I'll definitely forgive her..'

The ten year old walked to unlock the door, only to be slapped the moment it was opened.

Her sweet smile faded away as she looked at the person in fear.

It wasn't her mother, it was her eldest brother, Caleb. (I don't know)

She tried to shut the door again, but the door handle was held tightly in her brothers hands.

She looked down with tears in her eyes, covering her cheek that still stings.

"Hey, I heard mom is planning to take me on a vacation."

He said sluggishly, smirking and crossing his arms.

Y/n was too afraid to talk back.

"..ugh, whatever you quiet freak."

He walked out.

Y/n sighed in relief, and closed the door again.

Minutes later, her mother returned home with a wine bottle.

"Mother, why do you have a bottle?"

Her eldest brother asked, causing Y/n to peak out of her room in fear of getting hit and curiosity.

But curiosity kills the cat, her mother saw her.

"Boy, it was for protection. Out at night can be dangerous, especially after a party at Jackson Wangs."

Y/n looked away, cutting eye contact with her mother. She closed the door again.

Her mother came to her door, knocking aggressively.

"Hey, you ungrateful girl. Open the door!"

Y/n ended up opening the door.

That was the worst mistake of her life, because once she opened it, the pain stung her.

Her mother was going to hit the bottle on the door, but it was exact same time she opened it.

Her left eye was bleeding.

"H-hey girl, it wasn't my fault, ok?! You opened the door-"

Y/n felt devastated as she closed her right eye, and realized,

she was now blind in her left eye.

Scaramouche felt a presence behind him. Of course Y/n couldn't outdo his keen senses.

He turned a right corner, and jumped onto a tree. It seems like he disappeared.

He saw the person that was following him, a girl with H/C, and E/C. Her clothing were elegant as her posture was not, she raced towards the spot he disappeared and panicked.

He jumped down behind her, and kicked her down.

His feet on her back, she looked back surprised.

"S-s-scaramouche?!"

"How bold of you to stalk me."

Y/n's eyes widened as she knew he was gonna kill her.

His electro powers started to show, and she struggled.

"W-wait! Please don't do this! I swear I'm good!"

Scaramouche ignored her.

"I swear I'm of good use! I-i- can tell you anything!"

Normally, this would've not worked. But today, Scaramouche was in a bad mood.

"Oh? What do you know?"

"U-um.. I know the secret identities of the Geo and Anemo archon?" Y/n shouted in a hurry.

Scaramouche let out a long laugh, "Truly pitiful." He was going to kill her.

"W-wait! I also know, um, E-ei!" She said, realizing what she said. "I-i mean Makoto! Makoto! The former electro archon!"

Scaramouche looked down on her, and set his foot down. He grabbed her shirt and flung her up, then knocked her out as she was landing.

He tossed her aside, and ordered Fatui agents nearby to carry her to his camp.

Y/n POV:

I woke up dizzy..

I was in a tent?

I carefully unzipped the tent a little, looking outside.

There was a fire in the middle of the camp, and Fatui agents were looking at papers while eating.

Everybody except Scaramouche was eating..

You unzipped the tent all the way, and gently stepped outside.

"So you were awake. Why didn't you come out earlier?"

"Um.. I just woke up?"

He looked away.

Scaramouche is so confusing, but I love him nonetheless.

___ (Few days later)

I've been following Scaramouche and his team for a while now..

Sometimes I talk with Scaramouche, those were my most awkward yet enjoyable moments.

"You sure are entertaining."

He said, munching on an apple.

"Thank.. you?"

I wasn't familiar with talking to people, nobody really bothered talking to me.

"So, are you interested in becoming my secretary?"

...

"What? But I don't have a vision.."

"It's for entertainment purposes."
