Found you (Tiso x Reader)

Chapter 9

Time skip to bridge that leads to city of tears
Your pov

"Thank goodness the bridges are still open." It was a miracle that they were open. I thought the king closed the three bridges to avoid the infection getting to the heart of hollow nest, the city of tears.

A all to familiar scoff comes from behind me. "Why are you so relieved?" With out a word I pick up a near by rock and toss it into the acidic water below us.

With a sizzling hiss the water melted down the rock till nothing was left. Tiso visibly grimaced at the sound. "That answer your question? Besides if you look up you'll see a nightmare."

I didnt need to look back to see if he looked up or not. I just want to to get through this place. Some quick foot steps from behind signaled he had stoped while I had continued walking.

"A dead end? Some kindom's heart this is" Instead of responding to his rude comment I leap up and begin crawling through a tunnel in the roof.

"We dont have the defenders crest so we go this way." After a few jumps tiso follows up.

After evading a few more vines we drop down onthe other side of the door.

"How do you know of that tunnel?" I look over at tiso slightly suprised. He didn't strike me as a observation bug.

"Well I grew up here. I used to sneak out of the city with a few friends to play hide and seek." Yet again he scoffs. What is with this guy? "Why did you play?" Wait what?

"Tiso would you repeat that again?" I asked not believing my hearing. "So your growing deaf now? I said why did you play." He says a slight growl in his tone. Yet it faltered slightly when he repeated himself.

"Tiso" I paused deciding not to ask. Letting out a small sigh I begin to answer his question.

"We played for fun. My question is why you didnt think that. Like we were kids its only natural to want to do everything in our power to have fun."

I glance back seeing him raise a finger in protest before putting it back down. I shake my head slightly seeing that my subtle question will go unanswered. My gaze then targets the path ahead of me.

Not long after that conversation my mind was buzzing with questions. In turn failing to notice the explosive bat thing peering at me from the ceiling.

A loud screech came from directly above me. I wip my head up just in time to see the belfly's wings spread wide exposing it's explosive belly. What is that?

The next thing I know I was on the ground. The creature's head tinking as it bounces slight across the ground. Behind me tiso layed hovering over me, panting slight from a adrenalin rush.

He saved me? Why? We been nothing but pricks to each other. As I was caught in my thoughts he shuffled off from over me to stare at the creature's head.

It's wings having been destroyed from exploading on the ground. The infection it had scattered around the area of impact. Looking oddly similar to a murder mystery scene if the body was lost but the decapitated head was left behind.

"Why did you help me?" My quizzical gaze turned to tiso. He tenses up opening and closing his mouth trying to find a answer or a excuse.

after a couple minutes he stands up. "Consider dept paid." This only raised more questions. Choosing to shove them away I stand up to follow after him. As he had begun walking off.

Through out the tunnel were a couple of husks which were swiftly taken care of.

Thing were relatively peacefully as something had killed the gaurds that most likely paced the entry. My body relaxed walking through the familiar tunnel.
