the missing prince

Rabbit trap

Woken up by something touching his nose, he immediately sat up. Startled. Looking at his surroundings, seeing a small colorful butterfly fly away from him.

He was laying in a small patch of flowers, looking slightly to the left he found his bag of belongings. Grabbing his things, he stood up and looked more at the scenery.

There was a small cliff that had small ledges, causing the water running down them to make small waterfalls. All of the water fell into a large pond, which had rocks surrounding the edge of it. The entire scenery was surrounded by trees, but there was a small gap in between the trees where the sun shined from above, making the everything look more enchanted. Walking closer he knelt down to look at the water. crystal clear. It showed a perfect reflection of his face, spiky black hair and his bright blue eyes that always had a natural glow to them.

This place felt like it was out of a fairy tale, but he had no memory of coming here. He sighed, might as well start looking for a place for the night.

Tenko smiled as he watched the little boy dance in the brown leaves. They went out to get wood, but izuku took that as an opportunity to play in the woods.

"Hurry up zu" tenko said, making another bundle of wood before stacking it with the rest. Looking around at their surroundings, tenko made a mental note to not wonder off too far.

They had done the few tasks that tenko would let izuku help him with, which was checking up on the rabbit traps and picking wood. Even though the smaller one wasn't really helpful, his accompany was enough to keep a warm smile on tenko's face. Looking up at the sky, he squinted, although the sun was hidden by dark clouds he couldn't help it. His eyes were too sensitive to bright things.

The wind began to pick up, witch is what tenko expected. Turning to the giddy child who was currently rolling in a pile of dead leaves. He sighed, grabbing the heavy looking groups of wood, signaling to izuku to pick up the rest. Smiling to the younger boy they headed to check up on the traps.

The wind became even more harsher, making izuku shiver. But they were almost done, already having caught two rabbits. At this point izuku held a sack of their future dinner, and tenko tied all of the wood together, dragging it behind him with the extra length of rope. Walking closer to the last rabbit trap tenko had noticed that it wasn't a rabbit that was trapped. When they finally approached the site he realized what was hanging from the trap.

That stranger from the other day.

Pulling out his small knife that he kept on waist. He spoke out to the stranger that was currently hanging from the rope that was tied to his right foot.

"What are you doing?" He spoke, grabbing izuku and making him stand behind him.

In a desperate attempt to turn around and look at who was speaking, the stranger thrashed around.

"Thank goodness someone's here" he said, relieved that he would finally get help. "I've been trying to get down for a while, but I can't reach my foot" he awkwardly laughed, but it quickly died down when he was finally able to see the black haired teen.

"Wait a minute" he said. He wasn't able to remember what happened the night before, but know that he was looking at the teens face he began to remember everything.

"YOU!" He yelled thrashing around even more. "STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU DEMON!" The teen sighed, rolling his eyes. Walking up to the upside down stranger, kicking him in the back, making the stranger yell in pain.

"Be quiet!" He yelled back at the stranger.

"Tenko maybe we should help him" izuku softly spoke. Tenko turned back to the little one, who was giving him big puppy dog eyes. "P-please" he threw in. They both knew that tenko couldn't say no to him when he did this.

With an annoyed sigh, he went over to cut the rope that held the swinging man. Not even giving a warning, the stranger immediately dropped to the floor, letting out a painful groan. The wind began to pick up even more now, making dead leaves to run around the forest. Looking down at the stranger on the floor he thought of what to do with him.

"C-can he stay with us" izuku said, tenko quickly turned his head to the kid nearly giving himself whiplash.

"What" he said, looking at the kid with anger and confusion. "He's dangerousness" he told the kid.

"Tenko he got stuck in a rabbit trap, what will he do that is so dangerous" he said as if it was obvious; Tenko shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, he's still a threat" he said

"Um . . . if I may" the stranger said trying to get there attention. " I would rather just leave." He said, grabbing his belongings before trying to stand up. But he was quickly pushed back onto the ground with the help of the tenko's foot.

"Shut up creep you're not going anywhere" the stranger yelped at being suddenly pushed back down, but quickly turned to face the red eyed teen. The teen ignored this however and thought of what to do with the stranger, he couldn't just let this man walking around when he knows one of their biggest secrets. With a sigh he finally came to a conclusion.

"Alright let's go" he said to the stranger, but was only given a confused look from the older one. "You can stay with us for the time being. BUT! If you lay one finger on him" he said pointing at the green haired kid. "I will not hesitate to killing you . . . Understand" he spoke with a stern tone, making the stranger quickly nod his head.

"Alright then" tenko said calmly. "Let's go"
