I've been locked in that place for too long that when they finally dragged me outside by my arms it was the most welcomed sight ever, maybe because I was locked up for so long, I might be going crazy, but it seemed that the outside was welcoming me too. Any way back to the problem at hand, this very annoyed guard came barging in and suddenly started dragging by the arm to what looked a mansion in the middle of the forest which seems a little weird to me but whatever they can whatever they fancy as long as I'm set free, and I wouldn't say a word.
However, I don't think that's the case, so Imma say something, I speed walk so I could get ahead before opening my mouth under the intense glare I was now getting from my escort. "Why on earth do you have a mansion in the middle of the forest" I asked with a bewildered expression on my face staring up at his face as he stared down at me. After a while I started to get uncomfortable with the silence, so I spoke once again, "why are you ignoring me and why are you just staring at me oh no do I have something on my face?" I ask as I try and wipe whatever it is off my face. A loud laugh broke through the silence startling me to a stop, looking up I find my escort doubled over in laughter, "your sc-scared about you-your face being dirty" he manages to say though his hearty laughter. I felt extremely embarrassed which caused me to pout slightly which was an annoying habit of mine along with crossing my arms when I felt insecure which just made the guy laugh even harder like his life depended on it.
"Alright I'm done I'm done" the dude exclaims still with a huge smile on his face which may or may not have made me chuckle a little. "You know your actually pretty cool unlike what the rumours say" he says out of the blue after we continue walking making us stop once again. "What do the rumour say exactly?" I ask him genuinely confused about how rumours about me could have already started, "that you're a filthy rouge who is savage and has no regard for the laws and zero humanity you know the usual" he says shrugging like it was so normal. "What the heck is wrong with you guys, how could you even think those rumours where true" I exclaim flapping my arms about like a mad man for emphasis, "you'd be surprised how many people like that end up here" he says nonchalantly.
"Wow you must be in the wrong area then" I say while trying to be as cool about it as he was being, "yeah maybe I guess" he shrugs then suddenly looks down and just stares at me. "If you survive this trial, would you like to be to my new friend" he asked after a while though he was still staring straight at me, "sure I've never had one before it will be fun" I shrug ready to walk again when he stops me like I did the first time. "YOU'VE NEVER HAD A FRIEND?!?!?!?!?!" he exclaims rather loudly, "nooo? why? did you assume I would've?" I ask equally as puzzled as he seemed to be. "Well yeah I mean you seem smart and definitely funny for sure why would anyone not want to be your friend?" he asked seemingly to think those things were obvious but in reality, nobody had ever complimented me like he did just then. "Yeah, well if that's true you're definitely the first person to figure it out", my words were met with silence, and I slowly bowed my head toward the ground ready for him to treat me the way everyone else does.
I felt a strong hand grip my chin and pull me face to face and as I look in those eyes, I prepare to see hatred and disgust directed once again at me from someone I thought would be my friend. Though instead of hatred and disgust all I saw in those eyes was care, concern and worry all directed at me for the first time in the longest time and before I could stop myself tears started free falling from my eyes and I couldn't find a way to stop them. This guy who I don't even know the name of brought me into his chest and gave me a real genuine hug filled with so much warmth that I almost immediately feel safe.
After I calmed down enough to actually see what was happening, I started to realise exactly what position we were in, and my cheeks gradually started heating up though I didn't lean away until he slowly pushed me slightly away. Only enough to look into his eyes once again, "Well no matter what the trial's outcome is, I would be proud to call you my friend and I hope you'll be proud to call me your first friend" he says once again pulling me into a hug. This time was for sure the happiest time of my life and that says a lot about my life seeing as though I'm about to go into this place and possibly be killed or locked away for the remainder of whatever you call this thing I'm living.
Pulling apart once again we finally started walking back towards the house in comfortable silence and the further, we went the more the stares got stronger, and the whispers get louder. None of that bothered me though for I have my friend next to me "Hey you never told me what pack this is" I say just remembering I never knew who I was meeting behind those doors. "Oh, were the Blood moon pack"........................................................Whattttttt????????.
"You don't mean THE blood moon pack, right? right? tell me you're joking please please please tell me your joking"
