Y/n ran out of their house and towards the forest running as fast as they could to just escape their problems even if it was only for a little bit.

Y/n reached a small clearing that looked like something from a fairytale. Pretty little colorful flowers everywhere, tress surrounding the small clearing, a small hole in the top of the tree canopy letting in the golden hour glow..it looked so peaceful, so beautiful.

Y/n sighed as they went and sat in the middle listening to the wildlife..just listening to everything, soon all their bad thoughts seemed to disappear as they enjoyed this peaceful moment and place.

A little while later

Y/n still sat there a small smile on their face as they tried to be as still as they could to try and watch the animals, all of a sudden they heard a twig break scaring away the animals making their smile disappear.

"Oh..um..I'm sorry." A woman said, that wasn't what they expected. They expected to see their father or mother coming to scold them about running off, but no. It was a woman..a different looking woman, different from the rest of the people they had seen. "It's alright." Y/n said with a curious look on their face as they slightly tilted their head.

The woman smiled softly and walked over to y/n. "May I?" She asked sweetly wondering if she could take a seat next to them. They only nodded in response, they were still very curious on who this mystery woman.

"I'm Mary, and you are?" She asked leaning on her hands, and they got their answers. "Y/n..your Mary sanderson?" Y/n asked with a small smile, not normally the reaction Mary or her sisters would get to someone finding out who they are. "I am..does that bother you, y/n?" Mary asked still a smile on her beautiful face but you could see the panic in her eyes. "No, it doesn't." Y/n paused and looked at Mary with a smile as they watched her panic disappear.

"Why are you here, Mary?" Y/n asked genuinely interested in the woman and why she would be here. "You seemed upset..did something happen?" Mary asked her worry returning, y/n looked down a look of sadness returning to their face as they softly nodded. "I-i'd rather not talk about it though.." y/n said not making eye contact and keeping their eyes to the ground in front of them.

They heard Mary sigh quietly as she gently grabbed y/n's chin making them look up to her. "You do not have to tell me a thing, but I can tell you sweetheart, if you ever need to talk or need help in any way I come by here everyday. I know I don't know you well but I can tell you have a kind soul..but also a broken one..I want to help you, y/n." Mary spoke softly but still firmly as she held their chin gently, y/n stared into Mary's eyes as a tear ran down their face their eyes full of pain and confusion..

This woman..Mary sanderson..someone everyone else warned them about, was the only one to ever comfort them like this..they couldn't speak and Mary saw this, she gently pulled y/n into a hug holding them as y/n started to sob quietly.

"T-thank you..mary.." y/n said through their sobs. "Of course, sweetheart." Mary replied holding the younger person in her arms, from that day on she decided that she would protect y/n with all she could..
