Holding Out For A Hero.

a rewrite of a creekdory fanfic that was never finished.

Creek never thought that he would fall in love. how could he? he was the one who betrayed the pop trolls cause he just couldn't die. he was sent away into the forest scarred. back burnt, animal claws on his body, and dull skin from going gray.

He was almost dead when he came. he was his savior. his hero. he picked him up when he was unconscious and was about to die and nursed him back to health. He was about to leave but never got to it. creek couldn't just leave him... he had fallen... and he knew that he loved him back.

so he stayed, they shared each other their pasts, and learned that this was Branch's brother, and he left. they were both shitty people, and they could be there and help each other grow together, and Creek hopes he can do so without telling his love what he did.

but when his love gets a note saying that his younger brother is imprisoned, and later his love gets imprisoned as well, so now Creek has to face his past to save him.

will he face his past head on to save John Dory and his brother from the clutches of velvet and veneer?

or will he pretend that this never happened and continue to run away from his past yet again, knowing that he would put his love to death?

read to find out.
