Pandora Hearts Xerxes Break x Reader: From Darkness to Light [1]

Chapter 1

Take me down to the river- bend

Take me down to the fighting end

Wash the poison from off my skin

Show me how to be whole again

(Linkin Park- Castle of Glass)

You were a noblewoman, your parents had worked for Pandora until they died during one of their missions. When this happend you were 13 years old. You were devastated and ran away from home.

Nine years passed and you have worked in the guard of a prince. You learned how to fight with a sword and became strong, but in your eyes that wasn't enough so you entered a contract with a chain. His name was Kaichō and he looked like a human, he had smooth black hair and big light- blue eyes. First you liked him but than he grew more and more possessive and you tried to kill him -to break the contract- but it was pointless, so you started running away: from him and from your work. An other year passed...

'Run', you thought and sprinted even faster. Blood dripped out of a wound under your chest, you got in your last fight (you were attacked by bandits and you hadn't got a weapon).

'If I stop now, he will find me.'

Your head was spinning, your thoughts came tumbling and you began to totter; five minutes more and you would collapse. Since three weeks you were fleeing, even though it was pointless.

Suddenly you saw a large building right in front of you: a big manor house with a grand "garden" around it. It was just a few metres away from you.

"Maybe I can hide here for a while, it's my only chance", you muttered and fluctuated further.

Curiosly, a man stood there. You must have overlooked him. His shining white hair covered the left side of his face, but you could see his right eye. Its crimson colour made your heart skip a beat and you wanted to get near him. When he finally noticed you, he started walking into your direction and reached out his arms as he realised you where injured.

In the moment he arrived next to you, you stopped and broke down right in front of him. You fell, but you never touched the ground and all at once you felt a warmth; the warmth of his great arms holding you: he caught you.

"How...nice...warmth... It's so long since I felt...warmth...", you whispered weakly. Heat flowed through your whole body, giving you a feeling like you had fever.

"Huh?!", the white-haired man muttered somewhere over your ear, " you're bleeding"

Your hands cramped into his long black coat and you began to cry, unable to stand this any longer.

"Please", you breathed deeply, "Kill me!....." Then everything went black and you collapsed.
