(Au! Kidd X Reader X Law) The Nobles And Rebels

Kingdom of Rubble

The woman was woken from her deadly slumber by a sudden jolt of pain in her abdomen.

Choking haggardly, her body convulsed automatically when it felt it's air pipe was clogged, and momentarily afterwards, she was spewing a thick trail of blood and mucus.

Cracking one of her (E/C) eyes open with difficulty, she gurgled softly at the dark pit she was seemingly trapped in- with only a few rays of light peeking through stray gaps found in between the boulders caving above her like a dome or cradle.

Willing her body to move, she choked softly when her legs failed to respond, laying helplessly on the ground, feeling just as cold as that of a dead person's.

Was this the end..?

From somewhere she could hear a plethora of voices,most hushed, some upset, and few hysterical- namely two.

My Alphas..

The shouts of desperation grew louder, and as they did, from the rays of light that shined down on her, they suddenly darkened as shadows snuffed the light out.

Though right before she fell back into unconsciousness, a sudden glow engulfed her body in a stellar light, and she drifted off peacefully.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was running.

That was all she could think right now, even if she tried to think of something else her mind would come up fruitless, she was so driven to get away, so frightened to keep on moving, she couldn't even remember anything else in that moment, not her destination, not her goal, not even her own name was important at this time, all she needed, was to flee.

The beast roared behind her, gaining on her every trip and stumble, red, bloodshot eyes filled with the need for her bloodshed, growling as it's stomach painfully rumbled once again for nourishment, making the beast run even faster for it's next meal, it's ribs showed from under all of the stained fur, but to the small child that only made it more imposing and deadly.

It was so monstrous, so evil, so horrific.

But...

The child- now woman, came to an abrupt stop, standing dully at the mouth of a thorny tunnel.

(Y/N) stared down the hole with a blank expression, appraising it with a different perspective and feeling the old fear begin to waver.

"You know.." turning back to the bloodied and starving hound, she watched as saliva dripped from it's maw, staring her down as if she has become oh so delicious.

It was smaller than she remembered.

Eyes trailing down to her wrists, her fingertips brushed against the rugged laceration scars and curled gently, lovingly tender against her own skin.

"If it weren't for you.. I'd never have met my Alphas.. or even knew about the rebels and the nobles in the first place.." turning back to the hound, she calmly walked towards the gigantic, starved monster and held her arms out wide in a welcoming gesture.

"Thank you.. I'm not going to run away from you anymore.." (Y/N)'s voice was gentle and open, the smile on her face was accepting as she hugged the wolf's foreleg, giving it a brisk hush when it growled.

"Thank you.. and goodbye"

Opening her eyes, the (H/C) was greeted by a tiny black puppy, who in turn gave her a short, happy bark before returning into the shadows of the barren forest.

Jerking back to life in the- what seemed to have been a makeshift tent at first glance, (Y/N) let out a startled groan when her stomach screamed in agony at her reawakening.
