| His Partner In Eternity | Collector x OC

" Promises "

" You promise? "

" You can trust me, Collector " King said as he pulled his pinkie and wrapped it around Collector's

They both were unaware of the Hexgang watching from afar

Suddenly, among all the puppets, they heard a loud laughter, close to them

" What the ...?! " Luz whispered confused, King was afraid, as for Collector ... he looked worried more than afraid

One of the puppets came out in front of them, it wasn't similar to him, his red eyes shining, a wide smile on his face

His gaze was already focused on Collector

"It's been a long time, Dum-Dum-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Collector threw dirt in his face

"What the-?!" he said, only for Collector to keep picking up dirt and throwing it at him "I'm not going back! let Estoile know that!" he said angrily

When he stopped, he silently looked at Collector and then at King

As soon as Collector realized that, he stood in front of King with his arms raised protectively "Don't even think about it, Mullet" he said while staring at him sharply

Mullet smirked, chuckling sarcastically " What? afraid of me hurting THIS good for nothing, doggy rat? "

" That's my best friend you're talking about, jerk! "

Mullet sighed in annoyance "Shame on Estoile for being too lenient with you, but..." a mischievous smile crossed his face, making Collector uncomfortable, Mullet seeming to fade away "For you to know, Estoile is coming soon..."

A shiver passed through Collector's body when he heard that, and then after that, Mullet had already fainted

Silence prevailed in the place, with some hesitation, King came forward next to Collector, and put his hand on his arm, "Hey, Collector ... guess it's time to go back, right?"

Collector quickly awoke from his stupor, getting his smile back, but a smaller one "Actually, you're right, let's go!"

While they were flying on the star, Collector was surprisingly silent, unlike usual, King guessed that it had something to do with that strange puppet one

Collector's POV:

She'll be fine, she'll be fine...I'm sure I did the spell right, he can't go near her!

... I hope

How did he even get to me? he doesn't have any of those cubes, at most there will be that damaged one, I think that's good..I think, he can't watch me that easily, let that cube break already!

As we got to the Archive House, King was clearly uncomfortable with my sudden calmness, really sorry, King...I'm not in the right mood to talk

When we got to the bedroom, King shook me lightly, putting his hand on my arm "Collector, is everything okay? I mean, it's not usual of you being so quiet..is that something to do with that guy?"

"It's all right, really!" I smiled at him, trying to reassure him, or maybe even myself ... "He's just a jerk, always spouting nonsense"

Well, kinda true, Mullet is a jerk

"I..I see" he said with some hesitation, I opened the door, he went to bed with François, while I went laying down next to Chalent in bed, she was still asleep...

I brushed some of her hair away, as the crescent was still on her forehead, great, he didn't break the spell

I let out a sigh of relief, then wrapped my arms around her, holding her closer

As long as we're away from them, we can be together, we can be happy, just safe with me, Chal

I will never harm you, I won't be like them, or him
