Father hasn't come back for y/n yet, and the now hungry, cold child, decided that they needed to get up and try to find him. Father took them out, out of the place that stunk of the iron and beige liquid. Y/n swallowed hard as they rose from their place on the cold ground. Their limbs were stiff as they stood, shuddering as a cold wind seemed to pass through them. The soft, once bright, red sweater seemed to do nothing but let the chilly air get to their skin. Y/n looked around, blinking their e/c eyes and starting to wander out of the alleyway. It was gray outside, the sky overcast and menacing, promising cold winter rain.
There were only a few stragglers about, all in full coloured coats, saying little, and letting the wind whilst a tuneless song. There was the sound of footsteps, which grew louder as the moments passed. Y/n turned their head to see a tall man. A very..very tall man, taller than father. He wore all black, a sort of fancy thing that y/n had never seen father in, with a bright red stripe in the middle of a white triangle. He had chocolate eyes, they were the same colour as the sweets mother's friend would sometimes give y/n. Sometimes, mother's friend would talk to y/n, asking them about mother and father when they weren't around. They asked strange things, like 'Does mother tuck you in?' 'When did father last take you out?' and the oddest thing, 'Are you hurt?'
Y/n blinked a few times, looking up at the strange man with dark hair, confused as the stranger bent his knees and kneeled before y/n, a steady half-frown on his face. His skin was pale, almost grayish, and he head a dark oak stick with a pho-diamond on the end.
"Hello there"
The voice that greeted the child was the voice they expected; it was deep, strong, yet soft. It was an odd thing though, it was so different to fathers gravely voice that scolded y/n whenever he did speak to them. Y/n blinked a few times, taking a few frightened steps back. When Y/N didnt respond, the man tilted his head to the side, pursing his lips,
"Where are your parents?"
