         Your Pov
         As I throw a dagger at a cow nearby, I hear breathing. Not my breathing, it sounded like a male's breathing. I quickly throw a dagger behind  me, but no reaction. I was sure he was right behind me... I turn around, preparing to fight. A bunny jumps out of a bush. Oh, well I guess I'm just an idiot then, and thought I heard breathing when it was just a bunny rustling in a bush. I sigh, then head over to where the now dead cow is, preparing to bring it to a butcher for money. So I cut the cow up, and bring it to the butcher, piece by piece. I then look for a new task. I see a flyer on a news pole. Ooh. A bounty. Haven't done one of those in a while. Let's see... 50 dollars. That should be enough to buy food for the next week, and maybe even get me a new dagger. Huh. Ok, it seems he's a criminal, last seen a month ago... Blonde hair and beard... Ah! Here we go. His name is Finn. Alright... Suddenly, I hear someone behind me. I turn around, and see a blonde guy with a beard. This could be him. Someone calls " Finn! Over here!" Yup. I know most people in this town, so this must be him. How dumb of him to be wandering around town when he's wanted dead. I quickly throw a dagger into his chest.. a long dagger. I find the address of the person who set the bounty, and I drop the man off there. I then collect my $50 and head back into the forest to chill. What a lucky day.

     Then, once again, I hear a male's breathing. I quickly turn around, and spot a piece of fabric fluttering in the corner of my eye. What in the....? I quickly grab the supposed man's wrist, and yank him off the tree. It took a lot of force, too. This fight might be fun. I ask him what he's doing here with a firm voice. He then replies saying he's just passing by. But he's not. I can see daggers in his pocket, and what's more, he's wearing a mask. It looks kind of like a cat. Reminds me of him..- no no Y/N we don't think about him anymore. So I engage in a fight with the man. His attacks and dodges were outstanding, even better than mine. But I eventually caught him off guard by making him block a punch, then a kick, since I knew he wouldn't fall for the old double-punch-block-headbutt thing. Then while he was caught up in blocking my uppercut, I managed to get a needle in his neck. This, when done exactly right, could paralyze someone for a little while. He could still speak though, as the paralysis was only neck-down.  I knew how to do this exactly right. However, though he was weaker now, he could still move sightly. But I could tell that he knew there was no escape.

        ???'s Pov
        She had pinned me up against a tree, with a painful needle in my neck. Suddenly, she tells me to take my mask off. She was probably going to do it anyways, so I carefully moved my nearly paralyzed hands to my cat-like mask, and took it off. Then, I quickly ripped off hers as well. And then, what I saw was truly astonishing.

     Your Pov
     Wait... I know that face... He has a scar above his eyebrow...!

      "Obi?!" I say, my emotions all over the place.

        "Y/N?!" He says, amazed.
I thought he was dead... This can't be happening... I get to my feet and run away, wanting it to be a dream. Truth is, I never really got over Obi's death. And how, to see him alive... I just can't right now. But I feel an oh so familiar hand grab my wrist. Looks like he was able to remove the needle, and the paralysis wore off.
       "Wait!!" He says, worried.
       "Let me go!!!" I say, worked up, with tears streaming down my face.
       I manage to yank my hand free of his strong grip, and I run off into the forest, never wanting to look back. But I heard footsteps behind me. He was determined to get me, I could tell. I remember, he was always persistent with whatever he did... I just kept running. I was so happy, yet so sad at the same time. Why would he leave me alone with boss, especially after he saw him whip me?! Why would he leave without a trace, without at least telling me first...? I didn't care anymore. I kept running. But before I knew it, he had jumped over my head and landed in front of me. He was always light on his feet, and extremely quick too.
       "I got you." He says, with a weak smile on his face.
       "I don't want, nor need to talk to you, you stray cat." I say, hurt.
       Then I just heard silence from him. But he continued to stand in front of me, blocking my path. Anytime I tried to go around him, he would just move so he was blocking that way too. And I knew attacking him wouldn't do anything. But I tried anyways.

       Obi's Pov
       I was blocking her path, unsure of what to say. As I try to come up with an explanation, she attempts to kick me in the side, but I block her attack. She then tries to turn around, but I stop her. Then she tries to punch me in the face, but, once again, I block it. Why would she ever think that such attacks would even work? I stayed on guard. Finally, I thought of what to say.
          "Hear me out." Well that was never going to work. *Mental sigh* but nonetheless, she stopped trying to resist. She turned away and made a pouty face.
          "...fine. I wanna run away, but I'm really, really curious about your survival," she says quietly, still pouting.
           I nearly burst into laughter just then, thinking about how easy it was to distract her from the current problem. But I held to what I said, and explained to her.
          "When I got hit by that dagger, he had whispered something into my ear... While he did that weird bro hug thing to me. He said, 'I avoided to hit you directly, so you'll live. But if you don't leave right now, that girl over there gets a direct dagger to her heart.' Being the scaredy-cat I was, I fled out the window, knowing boss was much stronger than me. I had convinced myself that this was going to help you, so I fled and eventually got an order to drive this red-headed girl out of the castle. But, I eventually was caught doing so, so I submitted to the prince. I heard a noise from the woods, so I came here."
          I just stood there, waiting for some type of reaction.
         "So you were too scared to fend for your friend, so you just ran." She said, annoyed.   
        I sighed with a guilty "yes". She was right after all. I could've refused boss, and stood by her side anyways, but I didn't. I just accepted his orders and ran.
        
         Your Pov
         I had no reason to stay here. No more nice girl. So I jumped into the tree beside him, and started jumping from tree to tree, in the opposite direction. Suddenly, I bumped into a branch and fell off. Someone walked up to me, and it wasn't Obi. It was a gang of bandits. I get up and start fighting. I flipped over one and then threw a dagger at him, making him fall over. I then jumped up and knocked two of them in the head with my feet. I then stabbed another with my long-dagger, and jumped into a tree incase there were more. Little did I know there were more just behind me. I was never good at checking around me for attackers. I got stabbed in the back, and then thrown to the ground by the bandits. They started kicking me restlessly. I felt my ribs break, and blood from my back was staining the grass red. One of them straddled me and punched me in the face many times. One of them kneed me in the stomach, making me grunt from pain. I accepted my fate, realizing this was the end.

      Obi's Pov
      Dang it. I shouldn't have let her get so far ahead. I could hear her grunting from here. Bandits. I ran as fast as I could to where she was. I failed to stand by her then, but at least I can now. But I felt it was too late. I made it, and saw Y/N on the ground, being punched, kicked and stabbed. But her eyes were closed, and she wasn't making any noise. She was dead, or nearly dead at best. I quickly stabbed both of them in the back, then kicked the other one in the head. The rest of them retreated, carrying their wounded members. I ran over to her, and removed the various daggers from her body carefully. I took some bandage from my satchel and wrapped it over the wounds. If she was dead, she wouldn't be breathing. She was alive, hanging by a thread. This should do for now. Hopefully Shirayuki can help her. .... Maybe she'd be in better condition if she would've had her bulletproof vest on. I carefully lifted her up, and she groaned. She was still conscious.
     " A-ahhh..." She grunted, clearly realizing who I was, so she signified she was alive.
    I carried her all the way to the castle... She was pretty cold.. she must've lost a lot of blood. I spent just about 5 hours running at full speed to get to the castle as this was, inconveniently, the most distant town in Clarines.
