"I feel like everything I say comes out wrong..."

(Y/N POV)

The person pins my hands beside me not letting me move. I look up towards their face and see a man with white hair and green eyes. I stare at his green eyes but he cant stare back at me. "Why are you trying to escape?" He asks me with a little anger in his voice.

"I'm not escaping... I'm just exploring..." I respond in a quiet voice.

"Mhm... Sure." The man responds looking the the hood on my hoodie, "Why are you wearing that hoodie?"

"Are we playing 20 questions?"

"I don't know, are we?"

"I hope not." I sighed and tried to tug my wrists out of his hands but it only made his grip tighter, "Let me go" I hissed still trying to tug my wrists out of his grasp.

"Why? So you can just escape forever?"

"Mostly... Just please let go." I struggle against him and it makes me a little angry "I just don't want to hurt anyone," I quietly mumble. I glance up at him to see a very confused face, "What?" I ask making him wake up from whatever he was thinking about.

"Nothing..." He murmurs then looks at me, "Look you may of had a bad past or whatever but that doesn't mean you should run away."

"Thanks for your advice mom.. now can I please go?"

The man sighs and takes me into a corner and lets me go but I cant get past him. "You should really show your face when you talk to people."

He reaches for my hood and I scream, "NO!" I grab a hold of the hood and pull it down even more

He jumps and takes a step back, "Okay okay.. goodness. You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry.." I mumble and loosen my grip on my hood, "I should go now." I kept my head down and tried to walk past him but he grabbed my arm.

"Wait," He said still looking at my hoodie, "I understand that you had a bad past but I have one too and I just want to tell you that if you stay with us things will get better."

"Yeah.. right," I mumble looking at the floor.

"When I was little I was raised by my mom, I had no dad. My mom was a warrior who defended the Asmund village from the Demon Warlock. When my mom died I found out that my father was the Demon Warlock and I replaced my mother and kept him away from the village. I met Aphmau years later and ever since then I have been happy even if I do have to keep guard." He smiled and looked at my hood.

"Is your life story supposed to make me stay?" I say not thinking twice... I probably shouldn't have said that.

He frowned, "I thought that if I told you then it would at least give you a little hope."

"Do you still get nightmares about your past?" I ask him. It's probably really personal but I just wanted to know anyways.

"Sometimes." He mumbles loud enough that I could hear.

"Then we're alike in a way..." I slightly smile. Even though he cant see the top part of my face he can see my lips slightly curve up. "I will make a deal with you. If you promise to stay with me then I will stay, but if you leave me I will gladly leave too."

"Deal." He smiles but then frowns, looking at my hood.

"No..." I say knowing what he was thinking. He wanted me to show him my face but that's too much at the moment.

He sighs and looks the other way, "Well you should get some sleep, do you mind if I'm still on patrol?"

"Do what you need to do but once I wake up and you get off patrol you are sticking with me." I smile and walk back to the building that Aphmau set up for us.

I woke up early in the morning with everyone else and we sailed to Pheonix Drop. Since snow white (Travis) was sailing the boat I sat next to him as he guided the boat. "I still don't know your name." I say looking up at him.

"I'm Travis... and you are?"

"(Y/N)."

"(Y/N)? That's a pretty name"

"Thanks.." I mumble, "So why are we heading to this 'Phoenix drop' anyway?"

"Levin is the lord of Phoenix Drop. Aphmau came on this journey to find them since they went missing. They just met me along the way."

"Sorry for asking this but who's Levin?"

He smiles and responds, "The guy with the light blonde hair is Levin, he is the lord of Phoenix Drop. The guy with the brown hair and green eyes is his brother Malachi. The woman with white hair is Zoey, Aphmau's friend I think? Anyways, the man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes is Laurence, Aphmau's guard. The woman with light blue hair is Kaitlyn and I am pretty sure she is Aphmau's guard also. Then there is the man with the jacket on... he wears his hood over his head all the time like you. His name is Aaron... I think he isn't necessarily Aphmau's guard but he still sticks with them. And I-"

"Let me guess you are also Aphmau's guard." I interrupt him looking at his forest green eyes.

"I am." He smiles at me but then directs his attention back to the sea.

I sigh and the my head on the wooden wall of the boat, "I have been wondering... how do you feel better when you're with them?"

"Well... I'm not exactly sure but being with all of them makes me feel happy. I guess it's better to have company then be alone all of your life."

"Ah..." I stand up and walk away to the railing of the ship. I carefully lean over resting my head on the railing looking at the water. 'This is going to be an interesting few days'
