(A/N): Thank you so much for requesting! <3. About the chapter picture. I saw this picture when I was searching fro something to get inspiration from. I thought of the picture as a scene, and part of the story portion is the result! I hope you enjoy reading this. Pardon again for my absences I'm going to be up and running like normal very soon.

Location: Red Church

(Y/n)'s POV

"What's taking him so long?" the three of us sat waiting for our last participate to enter. It was Kreacher and he always had this knack for sleeping right before a match starts.

"He could be doing anything..." Emma shrugs in carelessness. He finally walks in with a tired yawn-like hello and a small wave.

"We've been waiting long enough," I groan, Lucky guy nods his head in agreement. The clock ticks down to the last couple of seconds. My eyes open to the scene of a church. I start decoding straight away not to waste any time. Looking around I noticed cameras propped up around me. I suppose our hunter was photographer, he hadn't taken a picture yet so I didn't have to worry too much yet. Everyone else was decoding except for Lucky, in fact no one had seen him yet. Maybe he's searching chests or something? Since I had already finished my cipher I went to go look for him.

"Lucky?" I call out in the middle of the church the light from above shining down on me. I hear rustling from down a staircase to the left of me. These stairs lead to the basement... I begin to descend the stairs. There wasn't a whole lot down there, but I finally saw Lucky. He was digging around in a single chest at the back.

"Hello?"

"Eep!" He jumps up his glasses teetering off the side of his face.

"What are you doing down here?" I ignore his silly act.

"Looking for a flare gun of course..." He sighs. I hear a noise from above, he seemed to have noticed it too, it sounded like heavy footsteps. Our hearts began to beat a horrid magenta hue.

"It's Joseph," I whisper to Lucky. He immediately runs towards a locker and hides within in it. I follow suit and do the same in another locker. The footsteps could be heard going down the stairs. He knows... I knew we would be found eventually but sometimes delaying the inevitable is bliss. Both Lucky and I wait patiently as Joseph observes the basement around him, knowing well he isn't alone.

I watch him walk up to the locker that contains Lucky, I suck in my breath and cover my mouth. This is the worst timing! I felt a sneeze coming on from the dust inside the old locker, I scrunch my face in discomfort but I couldn't hold in. Just before Joseph was about to open Lucky's locker, yeah, he sure is Lucky. I let out a teeny tiny achoo.

"Hm?" Joseph turns his head slowly away from Lucky Guy's locker and towards mine. My heart starts racing once again as his footsteps get louder and louder as he approaches. Damnit! Such a bad time. Just before what Joseph was about to knock on my locker Lucky jumps out and shoots him with his recently found flare gun. I hop out of my locker as quickly as I can while Joseph is recovering from the flare.

I was going to leave but, something told me I should stay, I don't know what but... I felt shame and sadness. Maybe it was a trick, guilt tying me down like a chain and iron ball, but maybe it wasn't.

"Joseph?" I asked him as he continued to hold his head in discomfort. I felt slightly uncomfortable at approaching him so I kept my distance reasonable. He looked up at me with a grey toned face and jet black eyes.

"(Y/n)? This is where you had been? Everyone is waiting for you,"

"Huh? Waiting? What do you mean?" I step closer.

"Ah... I'm just simply too tired to hunt today (Y/n), Je suis désolé if I had given you a sudden scare," He explains to me.

"The shot from your fellow companion was not so pleasant," He stiffens. 

"Come come, I will take you to your friends," He moves towards me extending his hand out, in response I take it. He leads me up out of the basement and shack. We then move towards the larger building piece in the center, when I turn the corner everyone is inside, including Lucky.

"They've filled me in," Lucky says nervously towards Joseph as he walks over.

"Ah, je vois," Joseph exhales.

"I wish to take a picture of you all, a real one of course, one to keep," He walks over to the camera near one of the side openings to the building. We all four stand in front of it. Kreacher lays down in front while Emma and I huddle close together, lucky crouches next to Kreacher's feet.

"Everyone sourire!" Joseph says before taking the photo, it turned out quite well actually.

"I wish to take one more picture," Joseph says before shooing off everyone to decode but me.

"Just a picture of (Y/n)," He smiles at me. I grin cheekily at the idea of being the center of attention. I pose in front of the camera with a big smile on my face.

"Merci (Y/n)," After he takes the picture he bows with a hand over his chest then hands me the photo.

"May I keep a copy of this?" He points at the replica picture of me in his hand.

"Can I ask why?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Oh, so I can remember and see your face everyday mon amour," He holds my hand. "Je t'aime (Y/n)," He says kindly.

"Joseph I-," blocked by the siren, I turn my head back to Joseph, there is a sad look in his eyes.

"Keep the picture Joseph, but before you go, let me write something on it," I take the picture and pull a spare pen out of my back pocket. I scribbled it quite quickly but I'm sure he can still read it. I hand him the picture and run off towards the front exit gate.

I look back to see him flipping over the image and reading what a wrote on the back, a smile creeping up on his face.

'I love you'
