Don't Let It Look Like You're suffering || hunter Angst the owl house

5 'the fail'

It's been a couple days since I was in hexide. Everyday boring missions. But I feel that today is going to be different. I wore my uniform and got out of my room. I headed to the room and waited for the meeting to start. I haven't waited for long.

- 'we heard there's going to be a wild witch rescue today. You need to patrol and stop it. Darius, Eberwolf and golden guard. Remember not to fail. It's an important mission.'
Belos said.

- 'You three can go now everyone else stay.'

We got out of the room.

- 'you've got an important mission today little prince.'
Darius started to giggle.

- 'yeah whatever.'
I responded. I don't like when he calls me "little prince".

We left the castle and went to the place It's supposed to happen.
We hid and waited for the thing to happen.

- 'Woof!'
Eberwolf whispered.

We looked for any creature to come but we didn't saw anything. Then 4 witches showed up. They setted up the line to rip out the door. Darius started counting.

- '3...2....1.... now!'

We jumped onto them. They were good at fighting. Then I noticed something. There were Eda. The owl lady. Living her best life. I stood for a second without doing anything becouse I zoned out. When I realised Darius and Eberwolf catched the three of them. But Eda was still free.
I started to run after her but then I stepped on the line. It broke and wrapped around my leg. I used my staff to telepor away but It was a mistake. A huge mistake. I ripped out the door by myself and helped the wild witches. I didn't mean to. I was trying to catch a few of them. Eber and Darius caught three of them. I caught only one. I was so screwed. Belos is going to kill me.

- 'WHAT THE HELL HUNTER?!'
darius shouted at me.

- 'I-I didin't mean to! I'm so sorry I was trying to teleport away!'
I explained myself.

- 'okay so you were trying to teleport away from the line but instead of you let the witches run away. Great. Im not going to do anything. But Belos is going to be so mad. You screwed up.'

Darius was right.

- 'woof!'
Eberwolf tried to calm me down.

- 'okayy so that means I'm going to die today. Hooray!'
I said joking.

- 'but be for real golden guard you can't go back.'

He's right again. I can't go back.
I stood here for a while.

- 'fine. Go back to the castle. Do whatever you want about me. I'm not going back in the nearest three years. Have a good time. Byeeeeee!'

I said then I flied away. I didn't know what to do. I landed next to the cave I slept once. I guess this is my new home. Home sweet home. I think this is better than coming back. I am kinda hungry. It's not like I have not eat for i Don't know 24 hours? But I'm going to be alright. I can find some food in the nearby forest. I did what I thought about and found some fruits. I don't know if it was poisoned. But I don't care.

- 'Huh? Hunter? What are you doing here?'
I heard a familiar voice. It was Willow.

- 'uhm just chilling what about you?'

- 'I train here. I do it like almost everyday. I was surprised you are here.'

- 'ohh you see i live here now what a coincidence.'

- 'huh? What happened?'

- 'let me say it in a short way. I failed the mission so hard that I can't go back to the castle cuz Belos would kill me. Funny story.'
I replied.

- 'you know that the fruit you are eating will make you sleep longer?'
Willow told me.

- 'I'm okay with that. I don't even have to worry about waking up late.'

- 'I need to go. It's getting late. That means no training today. Byee Hunter!'
Willow said.

- 'byee!'
I waved back to her

I came to my new home quickly and fell asleep.

I woke up in my bed. What? What happend? Was it all a dream? I breathed faster.

- 'calm down little prince. You were sleeping for four days straight. Belos told us to find you. You were sleeping in a cave.'

So it wasn't a dream. I'm dead.

- 'the emperor is waiting for you in his room. Good luck.'
Darius left my room

Hell no. I'm going to die today. I was breathing faster than ever. What is he going to do to me? Am I going to die? Is he going to cut me in the pieces? No. No. No. No. My heart beaten faster. I curled up into a ball. I was sitting like that for ten minutes straight. I must to go to Belos. I stood up and headed to his room.

- 'hello Hunter. I heard you rescued some wild witches.'

- 'I-It was an accident I swear!'

Belos squeezed my shoulder.

- 'you failed. You know the consequences for your mistakes. You need to behave. And your teacher is suffering.'

He did what he wanted. I didn't care. I only felt pain. I wanted to cry but I can't cry. I was laying on the floor.

- 'now get out. Don't interrupt my work.'

I stood up almost falling again. I got out and leaded to my room. I felt pain everywhere. I sat on my bed. Found a sharpie. I took off my glove.

- 'I hate it here.'
A line appeared on my hand.

- 'I just wish I couldn't exist.'
Another line.

- 'why can't I be treated seriously?'
Another one.

Blood was on my hand. My own blood. Maybe that's it. That's what my teacher said. I didn't feel the pain on my hand. I felt pain everywhere but it was to small to make it dissapear I was holding sharpie in my hand.

Emperor Belos walked in the room. said:

- 'Hunter? what the hell are you doing?'

My life flashed before my eyes.

- '...just becouse.'
I said.

He looked at me with a deep look. Then left the room. What just happend. He ignored that? Did I learned my lesson? I don't know anymore. I lied on my bed. Lying in pain. Willow told me these fruits will make me sleep longer. I tried to fall asleep. After time I did.
