On The Run ~Illumi X Reader~

E I G H T

'I ran.. i had to run.

Run.

Run.

Run.

Run.

Run!'

That's the only thoughts running through my head. Urging me to keep going, to ignore the aching pain in my feet. Just to keep pushing forward as I dodge the trees and bushes, as well as other land marks scattered around in the thick woods I was in.

I couldn't hear him no matter how hard I tried, even though he was running, his feet hit the floor of the woods soft enough so that he didn't make a sound. But even though I couldn't feel him it didn't change the fact he was still there.

It didn't change the fact he was still chasing me.

It didn't chance the fact I should have listened and left after four days.

It didn't change the fact he got bored.

It didn't change the fact he was done playing this game.

He was done playing cat and mouse.

I could feel his hand graze my shoulder, before his hand clamped down and pulled me backwards while simultaneously turning me around.

My eyes widened in fear and-!

I sat up from my bed in a cold sweat, quickly glancing around the darkly lit room to make sure nothing was out of place. After fully making sure that I was safe and Illumi wasn't anywhere in sight, I relaxed myself and let out a shaky breath. "It.. it was just a dream.." I trailed off, still very shaken up from how realistic the dream was.

After calming myself down, I looked at the clock on my bedside table to see it was only 6am. I let out another sigh before laying back down. 'It's fine.. i still have two hours to calm down..' I thought to myself, before hearing a knock at my door.

The dream I had only minutes before didn't help calm my nerves and if anything only made me more cautious. I slowly got out of bed before going over to the door, looking out the pep-hole. I was pleasantly surprised to see Gon and Killua with a bag of what looked to be good standing outside my door.

I opened the door not long after finding this out, only to have Gon smile up at me. "Hey (Y/n)! Hisoka told us you finally got a room and we wanted to celebrate!" Gon cheered, lifting up the bad of food, while Killua nodded in agreement. I couldn't help but forget all about the weird dream I had and focus on the two boys in front of me.

"Thank you, you guys are very sweet. Come on in." I said, opening the door so the kids could walk inside. Once they were inside I closed the door and lead them to a small table we could eat at.

We ate breakfast while we made plans for the rest of the day. Apparently Killua and Gon had a match a few hours after my own, so after they were done with their matches I agreed on taking them around town.

"Can we go see (insert random movie)! I heard it came out in theaters!" I nodded my head at the boys before looking at the clock. "Sure, but I need to go soon. My match will be starting soon." I stated, before standing up and stretching.

I told the boys that they could stay here for a while or once their matches were done they could come get me and we'd go to the movie theaters together and they both agreed, so with that I took to the bathroom in order to get dressed and do all my morning necessities.
