Y/n sprinted across the woods,  taking several sharp turns to confuse the monster chasing him, danger was nothing new but he wasn't sure how much his lungs could take.

"Ugh!" Y/n had tripped and fell into a ditch, he quickly turned  and saw the bat heading straight for him.

"SCREEEEEECH!!!!" The beast let out an ear piercing noise as it dived forward.

Y/n  eyes widened in terror. "FU-

Pause.

Yup that's me..... you're probably wondering how I even got in this situation, well just so you can understand, let's go back, all the way back.

My Name Is Y/n Noceda.

Im the result of a wonderful union between my mother and father, Camila Noceda and Manny Gonzales,

My Father Was a silly but kind man, He Believed in hard work and not only saw the best in others but wanted them to always be true to themselves, heh dont get me started on those dad jokes

My Mother is the kindest woman you could ever meet, lover of animals and a  giant sci-fi nerd, people gave her a hard time for it but mama was no pushover, always fear the anger of a gentle person after all.

These two weirdos who found each other at the  right place at the right time.

To find that person who just...connects with you, I think we all seek that, who would have thought my  mom would meet dad because some bitch decided to play a  mean prank on her? Well i shouldn't be mad, mom saw it as a blessing in disguise, she wouldn't have met her husband without that prank.

Where did I come in you guys might be wondering? Well...dad forgot to wrap it up a nearing the end of college.

Manny  was running to Camila's apartment, she had called him saying it was emergency, he opened the door and found Camila sitting on the couch with a worried expression.   " Camila que paso ? ( what's wrong?)  did something happen?" Manny asked with concerns taking a knee near his girlfriend.

"...I." Camila spoke, clearly nervous as she rubbed her wrist and couldn't look manny in the eye.

Manny held one of her hands hoping to provide some comfort. " Camila please, you know you can tell me anything right?"

Camila finally me this eyes, she then reached into her pocket and  revealed a pregnancy test, with two lines.

" I'm pregnant." Camila revealed  softly.

Manny's  eyes widened, he was in shock , pregnant truly? But they had always used protection- ah...the condom broke last time.

"I didn't want to tell you this over the phone..." Camila spoke. " and I know this is the worst possible time , I don't want to put this responsibility on you." Camila emotions heightened as she spoke. " but I -I just.." Camila spoke as she began tearing up, oh this wasn't supposed to happen, not like this.

"Hey , hey," manny said holding her face In his hands. " I'm not going anywhere." He spoke firmly.

Camila eyes widened, feeling an  unspoken fear suddenly being washed away.  " you won't?" Manny shook his head in response.  "B-but how are we going to -

"We'll figure it out,  we almost finishing college,  I can take some extra shifts at the auto shop to get whatever you need." Manny  speaks warmly.

Camila couldn't help but smile. " heh, people are going to talk.." her eyes then widened and groaned. " ugh..mama va a extra furiosa contigo ( mom is going to be furious with you)." Camila spoke dreading telling her mom this news

"Hehe I don't doubt that." Manny spoke sheepishly as her mother might want to strangle him after this. " but one thing at a time, we will make it work, I promise." Manny said firmly.

Camila placed kissed on mannys lips and embraced him. " oh manny.." she spoke as she laid her head against his chest

-

Then  a few  years  later  my little sister luz came along
-

A 3 year old y/n was currently being  carried by his father  with one arm as they walked through the hospital." here we go mijo." Manny said as he entered camilas room.

Camila gave them a soft smile, still a bit tired but recovering well, in her arms the newest addition to the noceda family.

Manny said on the bed and y/n was able to take a better look,  it was a baby, with little bits like hair on her head.

"This is Luz y/n, tu hermanita." Camila spoke softly.

"She's small." Y/n said, bringing a chuckle out of manny.

"That's right, that's why you gotta look out for her okay?" Manny said rubbing his son's head.

Y/n rewatched out to the baby, placing his small hand on luzs smaller one, luz shifted a bit and grabbed y/Ns finger.

-

I had become a big brother,  I didn't really get it back completely but I think I subconsciously understood I needed to look out for her, to protect her.

-

A Four Year old was currently laying with little action figures in the living room, when a 1 year old luz had walked into the room.

"Pood! ( food!)" luz yelled, making it clear to y/n she was hungry.

Y/n stood up and held his little sisters hand "I can find  food." Y/n gently took her to the kitchen and opened the fridge, he the pulled out a banana flavored snack for the young toddler. " here." Y/n said handing it to luz.

"Pah!" Luz sounded happily as she sat and ate the snack.

Manny watched from the doorway to the kitchen, smiling at the sight.

-

Luz isn't like me, I think even as a toddler you could see how full of life she was, she was always eager to watch a cartoon show with me or play a game in her room, luz is my best friend, that much was clear, and our family couldn't be more happy, however things....things couldn't stay that way I guess..

-

Manny was currently washing dishes when suddenly a a sharp pain seared in his chest and out his throat.

"COUGH!!! COUGH!!! COUGH!!!" Manny coughed roughly in into his hand, what he saw shocked him.

Small drops of blood scattered across his hand.

"Oh my god..." Camila said softly as she looked at Manny's hand.

"Guess it's time to take a trip to the hospital." Manny chuckled, taking a positive attitude as he always did.

His children were peaking into the kitchen, sensing something was wrong.

—

That was the day me and luz found out dad was ill, he had been for quite some time, it was a rare blood disease and unfortunately there was no cure.

I hadn't known then but doctors weren't sure how much time manny would have, they advised to keep taking medication to dull his symptoms.

So things were fine for a while,  even though his sickness loomed in the dark , he was strong, he was present.

When he saw i was getting into fights at school he put me in a kickboxing class so i had a healthy outlet and would be taught self discipline.

Me and him also had a tradition we like to do,picking up flowers whenever mom and Luzs birthday came up.

But dad was getting progressively weaker, he started moving slower,fatigued easily, and he started losing weight,  he needed help but the hospital couldn't provide the care he needed, so mom took it upon herself to do some research and found one hospital that might be able to help.

The only issue was we had to move, to a little town called Gravesfield

Me and luz didn't want to move but if it meant dad gettin better help we were all in.

We had to adjust  to a whole new environment,  enroll into a whole new school, it was...rough to say the least,  kids found Luz weird which left her alienated,  kids my age gave me a hard time because I was show which unfortunately landed me in more fights.

We were okay with it because we had each other and we convinced ourselves it was temporary, that dad would get better and maybe we could move somewhere else.

The Hospital however could only do so much, dad's health  had deteriorated to the point he had to stay  at the hospital.

It was an extremely stressful time and it felt like every day was worse than the last, one day,   I was alone with my father and he spoke to me while luz and mom where getting him so food that would be easy to eat for him to eat and keep down at the store.

Y/n. 12 Years old

"Whats wrong mijo?"  Manny asked weakly, his smile still present.

"I want you to come home..." y/n said sadly in his seat.

Manny gave him an apologetic smile. " me too son..come here." Manny motioned his son with his hand.

Y/n stood up and went to his bed side.

"I don't know how long il be around for mijo..." manny began.

Y/n cringed and grimaced. " papa..." y/n said weakly he didn't want to hear him talk like that.

"Please listen." Manny said with a frown, his heart breaking for putting his son through this but he knew he didn't have much time left.  " ive always encouraged you and luz to be kind, to protect each other, se que Gravesfield es .. un pueblo complicado.. (i know Gravesfield is a ...complicated town) but can you make me one promise?" He asked.

Y/n looked to his father and nodded. " promise me, you will always take care of your mother and little sister , can you do that for me mjio?" Manny asked.

Y/n struggling to fight off tears as he tried to wipe them with his forearm. " i will dad, i promise." Y/n said with his forearm.

Manny motioned  him forward and y/n embraced him. " i love you son, i always will."  Manny rubbing  y/ns head.

Y/n could only cry into his father's shoulder.

—

I think mom and luz got that sort of talk as well, i don't anyone was sure how much time he really had left, unfortunately things came to a point that not much could be done for him.

Just a couple of weeks later...Manny Noceda passed away.

It was.....a rough time for everyone, I hadn't seen mom so sad,  little luz was able to take comfort in the book she left him, The Good Witch Azura.

I had closed my self off  and just tucked my head into my sketch book and used video games as an escape.

With Dad gone we had no choice but to stay in gravesfield,  we didn't have the funds to move back into hartford, and mom had to work more shifts at the vet to keep us afloat for a while.

I took it upon my self to help mom more around the house,  so she didn't have so much to deal with on her days off, helping do laundry and running more errands than usual,  an unfortunate side effect was being extremely worried when mom had to come back late.
—

Camila yawned as she exited her car, today had been to long of a day. "Gracias a dios im off tomorrow ..." Camilla muttered to herself as she unlocked the door. When she closed the door behind her she caught a surprising sight.

Her son, leaning against the couch fast aleep, camila was confused why wasn't he in..ah,  y/n was waiting for her to get home.

Camila smiled softly, she then picked him up and carried him to his and luzs bedroom, she carefully opened the door not wishing to wake up a sleeping luz.

Camila gently laid down y/n and tucked him in, placing a kiss on his head before leaving the room.
—

Things would get better over time, luz regained her jovial attitude and  while i was still as introverted as ever, i was able to feel happy again, highschool however was...something.

Mom was stressed to say the least, me and luz had gained a bit of fame, luz was deemed the weird girl, all because she liked expressing her self in creative ways, i wasn't  able to condone he her antics every-time as she was struggling in school as a result of some of her antics but our fellow classmates didn't take the time to understand her which lead go snide remarks and even bullying.

That is where i come in.

Y/n was a good student in the...traditional sense, i didn't disrupt class and performed well on my class, getting some As but mostly averaging Bs,  the issue was  i had a bit of an anger problem,  back in middle school i got into scraps, especially when insults were directed at my parents.

mom and dad taught me not everyone was going to like us, some people just didn't mesh, i understood that, but one thing i was never gonna let slide was people trying to mess with luz.

Gravesfield Highschool

"Give it back!"  Luz yelled as a bully pushed her away and held her azura book above her head.

"Hah! Azura the good witch man you even read weird shit- Wha- Hey!-" buford paused as he saw who yanked the book form his hand.

Y/n  was staring dead at Buford , he handed the book to Luz as she hid behind him.

"Aww look everyone, its big brother here to save the day!" Buford mocked.

"No ones impressed man, walk away." Y/n spoke calmly.

Buford  glared at y/n for a moment , and the surrounding students, the two students had a vicious fight a couple month ago, after buford tore apart y/ns sketch book,  y/n had a black eye and bleeding nose,  while Buford had his jaw wired shut and a concussion from a head kick.

Despite buford receiving the harsher punishment than y/n, the two were warned not to fight again.

Buford  did nothing and spat the ground. " you aren't even worth it." Buford spoke as he walked away.

"Shit head..ah! Hey" y/n said as he was pinched in his side by luz.

"No swearing." Luz said firmly.

Y/n couldn't help but chuckle, it was good she was better than him in that regard.   " you okay?"

"Mhm, sorry for nearly getting you suspended again." Luz apologized, she knew y/n was in hot water right now.

" don't mention it." Y/n said as the bell rung, lunch period is over. " keep the book tucked away okay?" Y/n said as he pat her head

"I will!" Luz said with a smile as she quickly ran to her next class.

Y/n  couldn't help but look on in worry.

—

And if that wasn't enough to worry about, mom had a meeting with the guidance councilor, where he suggested a summer camp to help with luz's behavior.

—

"Mama you can't think this is a good idea." Y/n questioned in concern.

"This isn't my first choice either y/n." Camila spoke as she looked at the pamphlet. " but i maybe some time away from her distractions can be good for her."

"Mom its called Reality Check summer camp, they just to wash away what makes luz, Luz," y/n argued, he just wanted punch that sleazy guidance counselor straight in his jaw.

"Mijo you know they don't understand luz like we do." Camila said.

"Thats because they don't want to understand!  Oh yeah lets keep bully's around but lets ole luz to summer camp." Y/n spoke in frustration.

Camila sighed. " look , i haven't decided on this yet, the only reason they've been giving you a break is because your doing well academically, but we can't say the same for luz but its not even jus that y/n,  luz hasn't made any friends, im grateful she always looks to you but we can't keep encouraging this if nothing good is coming from it."

Y/n found it hard to counter his mom but he still wasn't on board. Camila them gently held his shoulders. " i haven't decided yet, lets see if luz maybe turns it all around, lets just wait and see."

Y/n wasn't sure how to respond, he hated even talking about this, but mom only ever wanted the best for them, so he simply accepted it and hoped things would turn out okay. "okay ma" y/n nodded.

Camila smiled and hugged y/n. " gracias mijo , i have to get to my meeting, call me if you need me anything okay."

"Okay" y/n said as he waved, when she left the house couldn't help but sigh.

—

Unfortunately a week later luz botched her chances of staying with her book report.

And  little to my knowledge that would be the least of our problems .....

——
Boom!

Consider this a prologue for the book,  i will basically speed run through the series as i am not about to go through it in an actual book, so expect a part 2 and maybe even 3 before we get to the actual story xd

Consider this an adult swim take on the series, going for darker vibes and more mature themes, i mean you see the rating, you've been warned.

Let me know your thoughts!
