intertwined

Intertwined (PILOT.)

** A few weeks ago. **

"You can't go (y/n), your ability is too rare for you to go and participate in things like this. I will not allow it."

"Things like this?" you asked.

"I'm not fragile! And since when did you start bossing me around? Last time I checked-"

He knew what I was going to say, and so did I.

He angrily stood up and started shouting.

"And what? that makes you special? Everyone in this room is the same exact way which is why we look put for each other! the only thing going for you is-"

I cut him off, I didn't want to hear it again and again.

"I'm going." I said as I walked away.

I felt the everyones stairs on me as I walked out of that abandoned building.

They knew there was nothing they could do, and if tried,

they'd die.

                          ** Present day **

My stomach was growling like crazy.

I should've sneaked in some of those peanuts on the way up here.

Stupid rich people with their fancy elevators and complementary snacks.

It was pretty dark, and for such a risky test, the place was crowded with applicants.

I remember him telling me that lots of people have died during this exam.

The things people do for money and privilege I guess.

Hunter licenses are earned after the completion of the exam. The license's grant you entrance to around 90% of the country that's guarded from outsiders. And on top of that, licenses can reduce legal responsibility for murder.

Doesn't matter who you are, or what you've done. Everyone can participate.

Ding.

Another person had arrived.

But this time, it was a group.

The older one started to look around, while the young boy beside him had an amazed expression on his face.

A kid?

That's when someone else walked out from behind them.

To my surprise, It was a girl, and she was beautiful. I swear she could make more money as a model then a hunter!

Her blonde hair fell to around her neck, making the ends slightly reach her shoulders. and wore a long blue..

What was she wearing? Some ancient robes?

Whatever they were, it was weirdly familiar.

I'm guessing she noticed my sudden stares, because she turned her head as we locked eye contact.

I was planning on getting up from my corner and talking to her but, our contact was broken almost immediately, once the young boy beside her started to talk.

"Excuse me?"

Everyone's gazes turned to him, but soon after they lost interest in what he had to say.

"Everyone's really tense.." he said quietly.

From the reactions of other people, I could tell not many people here knew nen.
