(Y/N) frowned up at the man she came to know as Rob Lucci, the grin he wore for her was different everyday, the first she's seen was smug, after that he was cautious, nearly fearful of her very presence, something that made her skin coil pleased, but the one he wore today was making her far from content, the man had a glimmer in his eyes, one that no doubt signaled something bad, it was a victorious grin, full of flashing teeth and unapologetic wrinkles.

Fumbling with her hands in the chair, she blinked multiple times, wondering if she could possibly wipe off that offending grin with the single swipe of her claws, but instead, when she moved her arm out she grabbed the nearby glass of water in favor of squeezing her fingers around the man's pulsing jugular, taking a grip on the glass, the (H/C) took a subtle sniff before downing all of it's liquid contents past her throat and into her sickening belly.

She should have been back at the Trafalgar's den right now, feasting on Chloe's latest creation of flavors and spices that could give Kidd a run for his life, mouth watering and throat quivering at the thought, (Y/N)'s nerves snapped, "how long are you keeping me here? I wanna go back home please" Rob Lucci flashed a smug grin at her, the (H/C) felt a vein pop on her forehead, wondering how that grin would look without his teeth, or his eyebrows, or his head while she was at it.

As if he finally remembered who he was talking to, the raven's smile vanished almost magically, replacing it with a serious- if not anxious scowl, "that place is no longer your home" the girl's heart tightened momentarily, feeling something alike to a chill attack her neck, (Y/N) flung her upper body away from the chair, ready to maul the man that has been the ever so persistent thorn in her side all these days, until she finally realized her animosity was showing, thrusting her claws into the cushions in her chair, the hellraiser just barely retained herself from committing a crime, and probably not get away with it.

Her rage was slightly calmed seeing the bastard's shoulders jump at the act, a trickle of sweat going down the back side of his neck, "you're being relocated at the castle, hellraiser" the accusation caused her trembling stomach to finally plummet, she knew he was well aware, but he never felt confident enough to confront the matter, this wasn't a good sign, this was defeat.

Nearly collapsing back into her chair, (Y/N) still had the dignity to let herself simply wilt back in place, close to being glued to the furniture, the girl's head felt like it weighed too much for her to lift it from the cushion, even if Rob Lucci saw her like this, she didn't care at that moment, what was going through her alpha's head? What about her alpha back with the rebels? They certainly wouldn't be happy with this development.

Frowning up at the raven, he turned his back and opened the door, allowing few familiar faces walk in with cuffs, "ms. (L/N), would you please accompany us to the castle?" Giving the cuffs a defiant snarl as an answer, she glared into the woman's eyes, "if you dare try to put those on me you'll never have to worry about pregnancy ever again" Klafka was quick to have placed two protective hands over the area her ovaries would have been, causing the hellraiser to purr in content.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking down the street, (Y/N) felt the whispers of the breeze chill her clammy flesh and sink right into her icy bones, the curved red dress she wore that day provided no insulation nor protection, the silken edges shook from the power and shivered from the howls that traveled through the trees, no moonlight was spared from the inky clouds that coated the sky in an indigo hue, a stray thought came to her, recalling stories from the campfire back in the village, tales of demons and goblins taking advantage of such a clouded night to perform their mischievous sins away from the sight of the gods.

A slight shove to her shoulder brought her attention to the said goblins surrounding her, hovering over her body until she was finally delivered to their castle, frowning at Jabura, the man only gave a cold sweat before pretending to have been aloof and oblivious to her death stare, oh how she could slay them all, and she would have too, but a distant memory always prevented her from going completely feral.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breathing in shallow breaths, the girl frowned at the trail of red that followed her, hearing mocking laughter, she turned her head up to glare at the small creatures that dared wallow amused in her suffering, the glowing sphere in the sky that once loved her only burned down at her in scorn, as if it was displeased with her struggling.

Haah haah haah!

Her frown turned into a scowl hearing the black creatures continue their laughter, what was there to laugh at? The fact she was able to survive that forest for so long? Were they making fun of her clumsy stumbling into this new world without suffocating branches?

Peeking through her stained strings of reddened (H/C), the child looked at her soaking hands, seeing the light coat of red drip from her elbows, and an even darker color of red outline the wounds, to think of them either as proud battle scars or brands of shame, she still couldn't figure out.

Skid-

Without as much of a scream she suddenly bumbled down a steep hill, tripping over her head as she bounced down, by the time she finally stopped near the mouth of a soft river, her pain already increased ten fold.

Haah haah haah!

She was really starting to hate those things, even more so when they started to fall down from the skies and waddle toward her, cocking their heads around in curiosity before carefully beginning to poke and nip at her wounds, some successfully ripping off flapping pieces of skin that hurt like a bitch.

Feeling a sinking feeling settle in her stomach through the agony, she let the feathered creatures of black cover her body in a frightening cluster, soon their mocking laughter transformed into victorious cries of greed and hunger, the girl did nothing- she had no energy now, she had nothing to keep her going, even her wild spirit was failing her, all she could do was whine in frustration.

Raah raah raah!

'I hope you all eat my body and get fat you scavengers' she bitterly thought, closing her (E/C) orbs lest the creatures move to pluck them out from their sockets, bright curses and sorrowful apologies seized her mind, wondering if her parents might be disappointed about how long she lasted in this new world.

Whack!

Opening her eyes, the girl nearly gasped when all the creatures took flight in a flash, darting away from her defenseless body, shrieking out in anger- most likely cursing in whatever language they were using, before her vision was greeted by a more appealing- at least to the more primal part of her mind, sight.

A male, a very attractive male at that, one that looked like a very nice companion indeed, though she felt confusion seeing a look of sadness and horror on his- her thoughts were cut short when her sight suddenly faded to black without warning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaah kaah kaah!

(E/C) orbs bolting open, the little girl sat up with a start, barely giving notice to the stabbing- and even crippling aches over her body, instead she looked around the clumsily built cave she was in.

The walls were wood, old wood with what her mind told her, flexing her body, she frowned at the strange white coating that stuck to her as a second pair of skin, then she looked to her legs- having been tangled up in some sort of thin fuzzy object that reminded her of a clump of moss, looking to the entrance of the cave, she peeked outside and squinted her eyes, not at all used to the light.

Closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath, she smelt only one scent- a young male's scent, and then suddenly thoughts of the boy she saw came to mind, could this be his den?

She soon heard the pitter patter of feet and looked to the door, only to have her breath stolen by a familiar male, and seeing her awake, she noticed how he faltered in his step until it came to a weakened hault right before her, a tight but interested frown of indifference- yet fascination on his lips.

Before she stopped herself she already opened her mouth, "pretty" the boy suddenly bloomed a shade of embarrassment, one she rather liked, "w-what the hell!?" Blinking up at him, she watched him huff in agitation, not knowing what exactly riled him up, "a-are your wounds okay?" Blinking again at his unusually considerate nature, she looked down at the white coating her small body, "they..good" they didn't hurt anymore- something that was rather miraculous and nerve racking.

Was she okay?

Peering back at him, her soft eyes remained on his frame, soaking in any open flash of his body she could as he seemingly did the same with her, silence devoured the both of them until he meekly spoke again, "what- um what exactly, happened to you?" Her eyes suddenly watered until weak drops fell down her cheeks.

At the sight of her tears, the boy began to shout and hop around in a panic, "fuck! Shit! Wait!-h-how do you fix a girl? Stop crying! Agh! Shit I broke her!" Babbling nonsense, as the boy continued to panic and shout, the bandaged girl's sniffles soon shifted into giggles and crazed hiccups, something that seemed to have calmed the boy down again.

Staring at one another, he moved to settle beside her, "I-I'm Kidd, Eustass Kidd, uhh, you're from last night's storm right? Are you a survivor?" Blinking owilishly at him, the girl's eyes only settled onto this hair, "s-stop staring at my head! I'll fucking kick you out if you keep making fun of me!" Now blinking at his puffed up cheeks, she reached out a bandaged hand to his cheek, "you pretty" if by magic, his white cheeks dyed a blood red right beneath her finger tips.

"W-what the hell (H/C)ie!?" Feeling as if that was a sign to continue, the young hellraiser paid his tantrum no mind, "your hair is the color of blood, your skin is the shade of frost, your eyes look like the shiny thing in the sky- sun, the sun, your hands are scarred and soft like dust-" as she mumbled on and on about the things she found attractive about him, the boy's temperature continued to rise.

His amber eyes moved over her bandages as she mumbled on, angry yet intriguing, she didn't seem to have some nasty personality, and from what Kidd was getting she was- dare he say it, charming, in a way, what on earth could justify those undeserving marks cascading her form?

'Nothing could' he thought.

"What's your name?" Blinking from being interrupted right in the middle of her sentence, it took the girl a moment to register what he just said, "my name is (Y/N), (L/N) (Y/N), Eustass Kidd? What is this place?" Blushing at the strange accent she used for his name, Kidd wondered if he should correct her or not.

"This is my house, it's a little far from the town...dinner's should be ready by now, if your hungry- oh and you an meet everyone too! Maybe one of your family members survived too!" Staring at his bright face, (Y/N) nodded, before pushing herself into his arms.

"T-the fuck!?" Feeling her face heat up, her skin felt like it was prickling as she took a long, appreciative breath of her savior's unique scent- mud, grime, sweat, and the faint hint of blood, a smell that felt natural and wild, something that made her feel as if there was still a tiny piece of the forest with her, whether that was actually comforting or not she didn't rightly know.

Staring up at Kidd with a lucid stare, (E/C) reflecting back at him in peaceful clarity, "thank you, alpha" the last word was too soft for the boy to hear, but nonetheless he still flushed into a raging fire, "d-don't mention it! It's our job to look out for one another, right?" Smiling at his timid grin, (Y/N) didn't even mind the sound of the black creatures cursing her from the mouth of the wooden cave.

Kaah kaah kaah!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She didn't need to lose control, someone came to save her when things were at the lowest point- that was what her memory reminded her, Kidd was always there when other's weren't, and in some roundabout way Law was there for her as well when things were hard here as well, so ignoring the frosty, unforgiving chill of the winds, paying no heed to the deviled smirks of her captures, looking to the castle arriving ever so closer from the horizon, (Y/N) felt no fear.

Because she had two alphas, and two packs that she could rely on, they would never let her down, even when she wanted them to, she knew nothing could stop a man from getting what he wants, no matter how much of their primal instincts they've lost from abandoning the forest, anyone would fight for what they desire, right?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The hellraiser dismissively ignored the two men by her side in favor of watching the gentle moon beams caress everything within the sky's sight, lovingly producing an otherworldly glow onto every object, as if trying to show them the beauty hidden inside everything and every being that existed apon the earth.

Not paying attention to anything else, (Y/N) nearly tripped when one of the men extended a hand to her chest, a silent way of telling her to stop.

Turning her sight to what was ahead of her, she scanned the door with a cold, uncaring gaze, instead of wondering what was on the other side of the door, she merely examined the door with the appreciation of someone who was looking at a piece of art, the doors were big and one might describe them as intimidating, no doubt they must have weighed as much as they looked, but that weight still meant nothing to her.

Stealing a glance at the lock, she quirked a brow at the strange squiggly marks, something that she wasn't sure to make of, then her mind suddenly came to the color, the door was shiny brown with an old scent, outlined with a shiny yellow that she suspected to be what the nobles called gold.

Without even knowing it, one of the men unlocked the door, causing her to blink in mild suprise, seeing that the two heavy slates of wood were now going to unveil what they hid so clearly behind them.

Feeling a nervous shove on the middle of her back, the girl calmly but carefully carried herself into the room, finding the door soon locked behind her once she entered alone, turning her head to the right, she gazed outside the window that took up the space where the wall should have been, blinking at the entire town that was bathed in the light of the moon.

Hearing a self absorbed chuckle, her eyes darted to the man seated before her, lounging in his throne, the moon dared not to shine any of it's love onto this man, leaving him in the dark shadows of night, on his face was some sort of white muzzle-like mask that didn't quite do it's job, she could still pick out his lavender- or perhaps it was periwinkle, mopping hair, and a fat brown nose hiding under a piece of the mask.

All and all, (Y/N) felt very uncomfortable in his presence, from his appearance she could easily deduct he was no doubt a maniac- albeit a weak one, but his presence gave her a feeling that he was dangerous, a formidable alpha's scent permeated the air around him, whether it belonged to him or someone above him, she didn't know if she wanted to find out.

As if he could sense her disquiet atmosphere, he cackled in sadistic pleasure, the slimey sound grated against her ears, "finally after all this waiting, even the fabled hellraiser has come before me, shakiness is overcoming, is it not?" She resisted the urge to tap dance on his ugly ass face.

Frowning at his arrogance, (Y/N) turned away from him and back to the window, now catching the giant wall hidden behind houses and trees, shrouded by the distance yet still easy to pick out, hearing the man snort in a tempered irritation, the hellraiser continued to ignore his silent fuming, until a short fused chill of an alpha's anger prompted her otherwise.

Swishing her hair, startled (E/C) eyes met his greasy, dark ones, seeing the gloating ego dance behind his orbs, the girl's frown tightened into grimace as she caught onto the situation, an imbalance of power- something she hasn't expected before.

"Hahaha! Even the so called 'mighty hellraiser' is afraid of my power! And soon, with you, us nobles can finally rise and proclaim justice for all mankind! And I shall be king of it all!" Hearing the man laugh to himself, (Y/N) felt- for the first time in so many years, fear, not an ordinary fear, but she was actually afraid for her life, knowing she wouldn't be able to stand up to this man alone.

His greedy eyes zoomed in on her and she nearly caught herself flinching back from him, "now kneel! Kneel before your...alpha" she wanted to hurl, but her instincts screamed at her and she found herself kneeling anyway, all the while the man she was quickly begining to despise- cackled away like he ruled the world.

She hoped he up and choked.
