But for now i hope you enjoy Chapter 5

Pov Pupperteer

When I saw Neo the next time I visited, it took a lot of my will power not to Rip Alastors hands off.

He hurt this sweet boy not only physically but emotionally, Neo looked like he regreted waking up and from our conversation he also sounded like it.

It has been 11 months now since he started living with Alastor and ever since me, Layla and Valerio met him we tried making a plan to get him out of Alastors Castle. But this sweet sweet boy changed so much.

He now acts like a couple with Alastor.

He did it.

He broke Neo.

He made Neo Love him.

No, he made Neo fear him and convinced him that was love.

So, I made a decision:

"Hey Alastor my workshop is having some Issues can I maybe live here for some Time?" I asked him with my usual cheery voice like always so he will not notice that I absolutely hate his guts.

"But of course, Pupperteer, I would love for you to stay here." Alastor quickly answered with a confident smirk that just made me want to punch him more.

You are probably asking yourself why I pretend to be friends with this trash being.

Well, the answer is simple.

Alastor is powerful, really powerful.

If he wanted, he could snap my neck with a snap of his fingers, or he could erase an entire city by looking at it.

Valerio, Layla and me hate him, we absolutely despise him but we do not want him to cause a doomsday so we stay "friends" with him to keep an eye on him.

But now with permission to stay I quickly commanded one of my Puppets to get me some clothes and asked Alastor for a Room next to Neos.

When my Puppet came back, I asked Neo to help me unpack just so I can have an opening to talk to him alone.

So, Neo and me went to the room I was allowed to stay in without Alastor.

"Neo?"

"Yes pup?..." His voice sounded emotionless and broken:

"Me and the others are working on a plan to get you out of here. You cannot stay here he will not let you go after this year and if you stay here Alastor will kill you" I tried my best to keep my voice as quiet as possible just to eliminate the chance that Alastor will hear us.

"But how, if we fail you three will get in trouble, I do not want you guys to get hurt because of me..." Neos eyes started filling with tears while he talked.

"Oh, sweet boy, we have a secret weapon" my arms quickly wrap around Neos small frame and that was the first time I notice how much taller I was. He looked so fragile and small in my arms.

"You promise no one of you will get hurt..."

"I promise Neo"

A promise I could not fully hold in the end...

So, we finished unpacking and I explained that I cannot tell Neo anything about our plan. He will know everything the day it happens.

We decided that our escape plan will happen today in 3 weeks. One week before the year Neo agreed to stay in the castle was over.

With our plan made and after Dinner I brought Neo to his room and stayed by his side till, he fell asleep.

I watched his sleeping body for a bit, cursing myself I couldn't save him from all this trauma.

That I could not save him from all the scars he carries now because of Alastor and the ones Alastor caused him to do to himself.

While I was watching over him, I heard the door open

"Pupperteer come here please"

It was Alastor and he looked angry

Well fuck my funeral is near.

"Sure thing"

I quietly left my spot and followed Alastor to the study there he got himself a glass of wine and started speaking with a cold voice.

"You do remember he is mine. He belongs to me and me Alone..."

"Yes, I know Alastor" His face looked so ready for a good punch at this moment but I kept my cool.

"Then what were you doing bringing him to bed and watching over him?"

"Neo was having a hard time falling asleep and you looked like you had stuff to do so I told him I will bring him to bed and stay with him so we will not bother you"

My hopes that this was the right answer was quickly destroyed because in the next moment I was pushed against the wall and Alastor held me by neck so my feet were off the ground. Which is a feat because I am huge.

Alastors eyes were full of fury and was ready to kill me but I kept my cool.

"Hey hey hey slow down, you cannot blame me for taking good care of him for you"

"Do not ever do this again Puppet maker, do not forget who is stronger here..."

"I won't, I won't now please let me down, I also need to get some sleep."

So, he did let me down. With still so much anger in him he could kill me with just the wrong word I bid him a good night and quickly went to my room where I called Layla.

"PUP!!! HOW IS NEO!? IS HE OK!? WHAT DID ALASTOR DO!?!?!" was the first thing I heard from my phone; Layla screamed so loud in her phone I think she nearly burst my eardrum.

"He is ok ish, I will explain everything later but I told him about his Present to Alastor"

His Present to Alastor was our secret code for the escape plan so he wouldn't get suspicious.

After quickly explaining when everything will take place and the promise I made to Neo. Layla just asked me to be careful and not to let anything slip.

I would never let anything slip to this asshole, after 150 years of "friendship" with him I was the one that knew him best.

Layla kept talking for some time but eventually I had to shut her up and hung up so I could also sleep a bit.

So, I got ready for bed and laid down.

But the sweet release of sleep would not come. I felt watched. My mind felt uneasy knowing Alastor could watch me right now or go to Neo and do God knows what to him.

So, I stayed awake. Listening to every small noise in case I had to help Neo. Or in case Alastor wanted to kill me in my sleep.

While I laid there my mind began to wander.

I thought about the 168 years I have lived on this planet and what horrible event made me meet Alastor.

I thought about all the people he had hurt in the past and still hurts to this day.

About all the people he has under control.

People which will die because of him one day.

Eventually I started feeling, this feeling of unbearable despair and loneliness again.

Alastor had killed the only person I had loved to that point, he thought me to keep to myself and never let anyone know anything about myself.

And I did just that.

No one knew anything about me.

Not even my real name.

So yes, Pupperteer is not my real name.

While my brain was going in the depths of despair, concern and loneliness my eyes finally felt heavy.

So finally, the sweet Blanket of sleep put itself over my mind and I fell into a restless sleep.
