"Where are your parents?"
The strange man asked, kneeling before the frightened child. Y/n whimpered softly, looking at the chocolate eyed man. Cold, shaky, hungry and scared, the child tried to respond.
"I-I dont know.."
They whispered softly, their mouth going dry as they watched the mans face and eyes. He didnt seem hostile, but he looked like he could hurt someone if he really wanted to. Possibility. That's what scared y/n. The man clicked his tongue and rose to his feet for a moment, looking about. He stepped away and looked to the left and right of the alleyway before looking back at y/n, kneeling back down in front of the child.
"How long have you been out here?"
"A-a bit...f-father brought m-me out here then l-left...he hasn't c-come back.."
The child said softly, hugging themselves and shaking softly. They needed to warm up soon and get something to eat. The man's expression grew for a moment, seeming angry, but his face softened again. He extended a large, warm hand to the small human and spoke softly.
"Would you like to come with me? I can take you home..its nice and warm there, and theres food for you"
At the mention of food and warmth, the child stepped forward. They were hungry from having very little opportunity at food at home and little to none out here. The wind blew harsher to remind the small being of their coldness. Stranger danger popped up in the back of their mind. Despite this, y/n placed their hand in the males. The male smiled and placed his thumb on the childs hand for a moment before reaching out his arms and taking up the child in his arms, holding them close to his chest and walking off. Y/n was a little uneasy at this..by they felt the heat radiating off of the male and sound of his heartbeat...the child couldnt help but slowly fall asleep...
[Dark's POV]
After I had taken up the small child, I had heard their breathing slow and steady as they fell asleep against my chest. The poor child was ice cold and lighter than most children should be. I walked the side walk, my cane tapping rhythmically against the concrete. I held the little one in my left arm as I looked around. There was still a few things to worry about. Of course, with bringing in a new face there would be some controversy. Of course, that would most likely be from the Host and Jim III, who would most likely find the presence of a child annoying, but how could anyone leave a child on the street to fend for themselves? Kidnappers and criminals...now that Dark thought about it, the more he realized that he seemed like one of those people, coming over and offering a vulnerable child what they needed? I shook my head a little to clear it as I turned the corner, looking around for a moment. There was no one nearby, no one watching them. Perfect. I brought up my other hand and held onto the child as black smoke appeared around myself and the child as we transported back home.

//This chapter took for fucking ever to write and come out and I'm sorry about that. I lost inspiration for a bit. It took so long because I wanted to make it a medium length chapter that wouldnt take 5 seconds to read, and I, personally, like longer chapters, so, yeah.
