Your POV
I quietly stalked into the woods drawing my sword. I slashed at a tree, cutting the limbs down before my eyes. I was angry.
What was with those guards? They were stubborn, agitating, and were everywhere. They wouldn't leave me alone! I have a reputation as a thief, not a murderer!
I slashed at the tree again, walking deeper into the woods. What was keeping me in this village? Because it certainly isn't the guards! Was it the hooded man, Aaron? He wasn't like the others. He was like me, quiet, skilled, stealthy, and have no family.
I was very different though... I steal, am emotionless, lonely, independent. This wasn't helping. I suddenly realized that I was lost. I don't have my map, and don't know where I came from.
I hear a growl behind me. I turned on my heel, seeing three werewolves. Just great, more petty distractions.
"Well isn't this a pleasant surprise." I said sarcastically.
"You took our things! For that you must pay!" they yelled charging at me.
"Sorry, I'm broke! So I can't pay, that's why I steal, idiots!" I shot back. Unfortunately, the whole,"anger" thing tired me out a little. I stabbed at them, but they dodged with ease. Pinning me to the ground, the werewolves breathed in my face. My breath quickened as I struggled to get out.
"Hey! Get off her! She doesn't owe you anything!" a voice yelled. Aaron. He kept from the trees, stabbing a werewolf in the forearm. Another in the leg, and knocked the last one unconscience. He held out a hand.
"Trust me now?" Aaron asked. I chuckled, taking his hand. He pulled me up to his level.
"That depends," I answered,"Do you trust me?" He laughed. We nodded our heads in unison.
"Will you show me your face now?" Aaron questioned. I saw the moon peeking through the cracks of the leaves, shining upon us.
"How about I leave that a mystery that you can ponder for the time being..." I suggested, back-flipping into the dark forest, finding my way to Pheonix Drop.
Aaron's POV
Just who is that girl? What does she look like? Why does she hide her face? These questions remind me of......me. I hide my face. She might not trust us enough, but I can understand that. That's what I did for a while after all.
I started walking back to the small town. Everyone was safe, and my shift was over. Actually, does Y/N need a place to stay? She could stay at my camp outside the village, though Dante and the rest might be a little paranoid. In question kept entering my head.
~Do you trust me?~
