There's some encouragement from TheProtato ! Let's get this One Shot started! [Requested by iQuiff ]

Your breathing was panicked and short as you kept running, running through the thousands of damp reeds in your path.

You were being chased by the Hag; a disgusting and mutilated monster who was intent on chasing you down to kill you.

She took a swipe at you, and in panic, you threw down a pallet shakily.

"S-Stay away from me!" You yelled frantically as you ran into a ship.

The stomping behind you indicated that the Hag hadn't lost you for a second, so you hurried down a ramp and hopped over a fallen tree.

Holding your breath, you gave a muffled sound of fear and hoped she wouldn't find you.

The Hag grunted and kept staggering through the reeds again - meaning you had lost her successfully.

Thank god.

"Hey ninã bonita." A strong accent greeted softly and you turned around to see a grey-haired male there.

"H-Hello." You said shyly, holding your sides as you panted a little bit.

"Are you feeling alright, my dear?" He kindly questioned.

"I-I think so...I'm just a little afraid." You confessed, the silence around you both really unsettling.

"It's perfectly fine to be scared in this situation ninã. May I ask your name?" The charming stranger assured you and pink spread across your cheeks.

"(Y/n), (Y/n) (L/n). And you?" You answered politely as you both began to walk.

"My name is Ace Visconti. It is a real pleasure to meet you, beautiful (Y/n)." Ace introduced affectionately, taking your hand and planting a delicate kiss upon it.

"Nice to meet you too." You gave a small smile, awkwardly questioning the kiss. "Haven't seen you around before? You're new here?" Ace nodded as he looked everywhere for a generator.

"Yeah, I got here...A week ago, when gambling went wrong. You see, I'm lucky by nature." Ace chuckled while you were scanning at his facial features, looking for any kind of sarcasm.

"Some of my enemigos didn't take my luck seriously and thought I cheated. Those bastardos chased me down into a swamp near Las Vegas." He continued his story as the two of you were headed towards a generator you spotted.

"What happened then?" You curiously inquired, you didn't really see someone as bright as him. Ace didn't seem shaken up by all the monstrosities here.

"Well, mi belleza, I've lost them for a while in this swamp. Got right on the biggest boat looking for someone around here." Ace handed you a clean rag, so you could rid yourself of some of the grease on your hands

He then took a deep breath. "Once I returned to la salida, there was a gate in the place of the broken fence I've gotten through. The corpses of my amigos were there, with their throats and guts out." You pursed your lips, those people barely got into the Trials and they were welcomed with a Memento Mori.

"Well, Ace, I'm pretty sure you're the lucky one since she didn't catch you...right?" You weren't sure if he made it that day.

"(Y/n) bonita, I did make it out. The Hag managed to hit me once, and so I bear La bruja's mark." He pointed towards his back, and you spotted a large claw mark. You shivered, thinking of the possible wounds she could cause.

Ace brought the generator to life and you sighed in relief. Three more left.

The male glanced at the ring on his left hand and you were slightly disappointed. Was he married? Wait, why were you disappointed?!

"If you're wondering, niña bonita, I'm not married, nor engaged. It's a tradition in my gamblers' club to be fully dedicated to lady luck's games." Ace winked and you blushed.

Taking a loose step away from the generator, you fell on your back as the Hag popped out of the mud, screaming bloody murder.

"(Y/n)! ¡Ven aca!" He yelled and quickly pulled your hand, the Hag immediately attempted to claw your foot, but was too late.

The two of you were faster than she was, much to your relief, and soon the heartbeat faded, she had lost you.

"You scared me there, thought you'd die too..." Ace sighed and tightly hugged you. Seems like he got pretty close to you already. You were still pale from the jumpscare, the lady did a trick on you.

"Ha...I really thought it was the end of me..." You took a deep breath, your lungs burning from the sprint burst.

"Let's finish doing the generators." Ace adjusted his cap and sunglasses, and you mentally swooned.

You nodded and followed him, holding his hand so you won't get separated. Another generator had roared to life on the opposite side just when you've found a dead generator.

"Psst. Ace! Over here!" The man was searching through a chest and you groaned. Generators first, items later.

He came next to you and gave you a...Ranger's Medkit?

"Holy shit." You muttered as Ace smirked. "For my fellow niña bonita! Take it as a token of good fortune of our relationship!" He winked and you took the Medkit, hesitating. You've seen this kind of kits twice. And you lost both.

Damned white wards. You thought as you smiled. Someone actually gifted you in this hellhole.

Another generator had made its fully charged work known, pretty close to you. "Ace, go to that exit door." You whispered as he got up and followed your orders without any complaint.

You turned on the generator and slowly made your way towards the exit, where Ace was waiting for the door to open.

You froze as you heard the heartbeat yet again, the Hag was grinning as she was insanely gaining speed. Ace was almost done with the door, so you decided to be the meat shield.

Just before he was done, the killer swung her razor sharp claws upon Ace, and you got behind him, taking the hit and instantly falling to the ground. "(Y/n)!" He yelled as the Hag was preparing herself to pounce on you, glaring at your neck.

When she was about to jump, you felt yourself being pulled by four hands.

There was Ace along with Jake, pulling you out. The killer pounced and she hit the brick wall. Groaning, she wanted to strike you again, but some black limbs were stopping her from doing that.

Ace and Jake were healing you up as your back was aching, you were outside the Trials now. Ace sighed in relief as he helped you up.

"Are you okay, (Y/n)?" He cupped your cheeks with his hands, you were panting from the fact that you were too close and you were blushing madly.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine, thank you so much..." Ace kissed your right cheek then got your hand, doing the same thing to it.

"I can't let my niña bonita fall in the hands of the la Bruja." He gently whispered as you were left a blabbering mess.

"Necesito proteger a mi niña bonita." He whispered in your ear and you were confused, then he retracted and winked as you were trying to find your words. He somehow scattered your ability to communicate.

A/n! Sorry this was so fucking short I suppose I ran out of ideas for daddy Ace lmao.
