(y/n) slowly approached the tree line, as he followed the tracks, he spoke. " well you cowards can stay here, I'll just do this myself" (y/n) smirked from behind his back knowing that they would both fall for his mental trap. " who are you calling a coward!" both Hestia and Alex said in unison. they gave each other a glance before stomping to (y/n) side. " I guess I'll come if you're going," Alex said as he grasped (y/n) hand tightly. Hestia just kept quiet and continued walking. She paid no attention to unnecessary affection.

" Well, let get going!" (y/n) said with an unusually cheery disposition. The trio approached the tree line slowly. The atmosphere darkens. Alex clung to (y/n) tightly as they continued. Hestia sneered in disgust. " how dare you touch him, you filthy feline," she thought to herself while staring daggers into the back of Alex's head. Alex sensed Hestia's lethal glare. Alex smirked than a red wave of light emerged from his body and hit Hestia with a force that only her mind could feel. Unknowing to Alex (y/n) had also become a victim of this vicious psychic force. both (y/n) and Hestia fell to there knees in a instant. What is this feeling!? " Hestia weakly spokes between the violent retching. Alex seemed surprised, and he stood back in hesitation. Alex then reached to the side of himself, attempting to find (y/n)'s hand. He grasped for a few seconds before he  looked over to see where his safety cushion was. his eyes widened when he saw the pathetic state (y/n) was in. (y/n) was on his hand and knees dry heaving with heavy sweat falling off his face profusely. After expelling a considerable amount of bile (y/n) pulled his head up and spoke in a low whisper. " this is isn't natural. Why do I feel like there is some kind of malicious force near? ! Where dead! Where so dead!" (y/n)'s words increased in volume as he continued. He clawed at he's faced wildly. Wounds quickly appeared upon his face but closed the instant they occurred. Alex watched in shock for a moment before he came back to his scenes. He then launched himself in (y/n)'s direction. Alex straddled (y/n) and pinned his hands to the side of his waist. (y/n) violently convulsed under Alex. Alex bucked back and forth while struggling to calm (y/n). he took a glance to check on Hestia's condition. He panned his head quickly in both directions but Hestia was not in sight. " what is going on!? Where did she go?! Shit! What do I do?!" he Exclaimed before turning his attention back to (y/n). Alex knew of one thing that might break (y/n) from this . He released his grip on his wrists and embraced him tightly. " its okay, I promise nothing will harm you. I will protect you. I love you (y/n)." Alex said sweetly into (y/n)'s ear. (y/n)'s body calmed in an instant. " wow, that worked?" Alex said with a glint of surprise in his tone. " uhh! What's going on? my head is killing me." (y/n) said while rubbing his temple in pain. Alex looked down with wide, teary eyes and smiled. " What did you do, Alex?" (y/n) questioned with a raised brow. alex's expression changed to one of anguish. " I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just trying to scare her, but now she's gone and.. " (y/n) stopped Alex's blubbering by placing his index finger on Alex's lips in a with a shushing sound. " hush my love, there will be no need for explaining yourself. I don't quite understand what happened just now, but my head is killing me. saving the talking for later when where not surrounded." Alex snaps his head up at the sound of (y/n)'s final words. he scanned is surroundings like a predator in the search for prey,. his nostrils flared continually as he inhaled and exhaled. moments later rustling could be heard in ever direction. " I wont make this easy for you" said a sickly sweet voice in a cacophony of multiple voices in every direction. alex sneered in reply and took his battle position. (Y/n) had a slight twitch of the eye before his whole demeanour changed. " you have five second to prostrate yourself before me, if you do not comply. I Will have no choice but to punish you most severely. Nobunon said his last words in a way that implied enjoyment in the act. Suddenly there was silence.
