You pulled on your coat at the locker room as everyone cleared the building, school as out for the weekend and you were so glad you showed up on a friday like today, the sun was shining and even the wind was pleasantly blowing fom the east

Just the thought of your friends waiting for you back at the 'place' got you all excited and tingly, you just couldn't wait to tell them your stories of today about all of these weirdos.

About the sissy green haired punk who was basically in love with Luffy and everyone who revolved around him, that crazy fight between that Indian godlike dude and Luffy, that time Law told off that creepy teacher with the ram horn hair band, even that time the whole school held a memorial for an old lunch table Luffy called the Going Merry that got vandalized with fire.

As you popped the lock on your locker, your ears caught the sound of someone running rapidly through the halls...

You turned around just in time to see Law and Luffy speeding towards you like a couple of excited predators chasing after what was potentially the next ally for their forming pack.

So like any...'normal' person would, you ran like the wind.

You urgently kicked open the door to the front of the school as you sprinted towards your home, you could make out the two boys yelling something like 'STOP!' or 'WAIT!' But you were too spooked to care, when something came after you, your instincts will instantly make you run without hesitation.

You finally made it to the west side of the building and saw the ominous gateway to the thick forest at the edge of the school gardens, but not minding the intimidating appearance you kept going anyway.

With your last remaining strength due to all of your draining fatigue, you powerfully leaped through the gateway with the conviction of your soul and sprinted down the dirt path while straining your neck to look over your shoulder.

To your immediate suprise, Law abruptly stopped at the very end of the entrance with Luffy soon smashing into his back, who was not expecting the stop.

This made you quite the happy camper as your (H/C) hair fluttered with the wind, 'YES! I lost them!' You made a fist bump down the path as you did a skip in the air, oh what a lovely day~

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

The two boys were dumbfounded while looking into the dreary dark thicket of trees and vegetation, even the bright shades of greens looked ominous when it was coming from that forest.

Neither of them knew why you went in there, but they were too afraid to just walk right in, bad things happened there, things went bump in the night and whisked unlucky people away to the land of death, predatory birds often slunk around awaiting their next corpse, and even the flowers glared at them with murderous intent.

Tons of kids from all over the town and not just the school went in there, sometimes they treat it like a test of courage and a group of friends enter together at the dead of night, others try to use it as a refuge from their tormentors, and there have even been few who go to die, those who came back out were either fatally wounded beyond help, found unconscious, fated to never wake up again, but most of those still alive have gone insane or traumatized...but the majority are discovered already dead...

Nobody knew what was in there, but nobody wanted to find out thanks to the body count, so they put up signs and warnings to anyone who wanted to go in and play with fire after they had to make a mental hospital for all the unfortunate teens that made it out alive, it was the only solution since all those who tried to tear it down also died soon after.

Law looked down at Luffy and greatly blanched with terror, the teen's eyes were sparkling with wonder as he had an awed expression on his face while looking at the forest, it was like the leaves were whispering a song of enchantment to him as they rustled in the breeze.

Oh no...

Luffy slowly faced his paled friend and gave him a huge grin, "Law~ I smell an ADVENTURE!" The older teen sweat dropped at his cheesy face and had anime tears going down his eyes as the raven boy effortlessly dragged the other down the thin dirt path, there was no use in resistance now that he was intrigued.

Unknowing to them both, that two pairs of animalistic cat-like eyes were watching every one of their movements with much rage and weary from behind the safety of the eerie leaves that once made Law nauseous.

"Why are they here?" The yellow eyed one whispered, he scowled and soon scoffed at them afterward with a burning glare, looking at them like a pair of revolting pests that just invaded his warm and snug home without his consent.

The other snorted in disgust and hatred at the intruders along with the other, "isn't it obvious ero-jaguar? More humans came to take (Y/N) from us again" he glowered, it was always the same with those stupid ass humans, constantly trying to take what was their's and their's alone.

Sanji hissed as his ears folded and his tail frizzed up in anger, "what was that you marimo?" Zoro clicked his tongue in distaste but ignored the comment, for now he'd let it slide as long as they had intruders to get rid of.

"Come on, we gotta get rid of those two before they reach the nymph's lake" Sanji developed a nosebleed at the thought of his beloved ladies and cried in excitement, "Ahhhh!~ don't worry Nami-san! Robin-chwan! Your handsome knight will save you from the perverted humans!♡"

The two leaped through the branches as they followed the pair's scent with a wave of bloodlust, this was the beginning of the hunt, the two will show no mercy, no empathy, no hesitation, because no one was going to steal (Y/N), even if they had to kill.

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

The two teens were tired out and mildly scared as they wandered throughout the forest with no sign of you anywhere, not even a single footprint to see which direction you went off to.

The place was as silent as the grave, with no signs of life whatsoever, the sunlight was much more missed than back at the entrance so it almost seemed like evening in there with all of the leaves covering the sunlight, it was almost as if the forest was purposely trying to blind them so they could trip and damage something important.

It was cold, dank and very unwelcoming, Law almost stumbled down when he accidentally tripped on what remained of a young adult's ribcage, which was only a deep reminder that there was hundreds of bones hiding all over the forest floor..yep this had to be the most terrifying thing they've ever done.

"Hmmmm, maybe whatever's been haunting these woods got her already.." but before the sentence was finished, Luffy hit the yet-to-be doctor on the head as they got closer to a bright clearing up ahead and scolded him.

Finally reaching the light, their eyes adjusted to the brightness until they could finally see, but their jaws dropped as well.

Right in front of them was an old run down house, but it seemed to have still been liveable since the roof was in one piece under the sea of moss and no holes were present in the walls..even almost still in use if you took a closer look at the details.

Law looked off to the side and his eyes widened, what the!?!?

Next to the house, was a small garden pond with two girls sitting on the edge in it, but they clearly weren't normal, one woman with black hair had a dark purple fish tail poking out from under the surface while the other had bubbly wings with iny thunderbolts dancing inside of them and orange fins resting on her cheeks.

"AHHH!! HEY YOU TWO! HELLO!!!" Law stiffened in mortification as they looked in their direction with wide, startled eyes, "*Gasp* HUMANS!" The two dived into the deep water of the pond as Luffy looked quizzically at where they once were, "That's odd.." he mumbled with a pout.

The older teen was about to hit him upside the head for his idiocy, when something landed on the ground from behind them without even kicking up dirt.

Luffy turned around and gasped at the sight of two cat-human hybrids with glowing eyes, they had arms with strange patterns on them and their legs weren't different either, no doubt fangs resided under their lips and ears were flattened on their heads while their tails curled in agitation.

"What are you two humans doing, trespassing in this forest?" The blonde cautiously questioned with a deep hiss, warning them not to mess with them.

Law was about to carefully explain when Luffy abruptly spoke again, "oh!, we're looking for our friend (Y/N)! Do you know where she is? We were gonna take her into town!"

At the sound of the girl's name they bared their teeth and snarled menacingly, "SO YOU ARE HERE TO TAKE HER AWAY!!" the greenie howled.

Law protectively moved in and covered the other raven before backing up in alarm as their sharp and deadly claws came out, their very forms were practically radiating with anger as they readied themselves to slaughter the two on the spot.

"TiMe tO DIe hUMaNs.."
