Arya

Shapeshifter

✿ Supernatural

"I have a gathering set for tonight. Make sure to be there. Your presence is important not only to me but for the children of the town." I checked the scripts and checked off things to give to the children.

"I won't forget."

"Not a second late, Oliver. You've missed the last three gatherings in the past month. The children ask for you. Your absence does not please the parents. They're starting to think negative things of you."

"I won't forget. I promise." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and I watched him leave in a hurry."

"He's not going to be there." Daisy read a book.

"I just wish he'd be there. He doesn't even have to be there for too long. Just an appearance to show he cares."

"Where's Oliver?" I looked at Walter.

"He's with the guards." He whispered.

"Thank you." I smiled. "Are you going to the gathering?"

"Yes, I just need to take care of a few things."

"If Oliver arrives, leave with him."

"Of course." He smiled and I got in the carriage with Daisy and Miriam.

Oliver's pov

"Are you sure this is safe?" Julian asked as we continued to walk in the tunnels.

"Yes."

"Shouldn't we inform Arya? She knows more of this than the two of us." He was worried.

"She does not need to know of this. I spoke to Barton, he said it's a shapeshifter."

"You brought me here way out into the woods, come across a man with a hole in his head, the brain is gone. Branches with arms and legs and ahead. The torso on the ground and very little of a man near a campfire."

"I brought you here because I trust you."

"We should have men with us. Armed men. We've nothing but a dagger and a gun. Are you aware of how much danger we could be in?"

"I think we're getting close to its lair."

"Why do you say that?"

"There's another pile of white mucus and blood next to your face."

He glanced, looked away, and turned his head to it back up. "Oh, God." He groaned.

"Looks like it's lived here for a while." I saw clothes and remains of a body on the ground.

"How many murderers has it gotten away with?" Julian looked at it. He looked at me and jumped. "Oliver!" He yelled.

I turned and was punched in the face making me fall on the ground and hitting my right arm with a broken brick. Julian fired the gun and I grunted.

"Get the son of a bitch!" I grunted as I held my arm and followed Julian. We got out of the tunnels and we're in the town.

"All right. Lets split up." Julian looked around.

"All right. I'll meet you around the other side."

Oliver: Hey. Anything?

Julian[turns around]: No. He's gone.

Oliver: All right. Let's get back to the horses.
