Y/N POV

I ran, far away from the mob as they chant and yell "Witch!"

It's not my fault I was.... cursed. I was cursed when I was a baby and now that people know I have these.... powers, they're trying to burn me on a stake.

For goodness sake... I'm only 8.

They didn't really believe when my parents told them that I made dolls move, shadows dance, and fire turning black, until they had to see it for themselves.

They have found me playing with a dowsing rod with my imaginary friend, Dade, a black fog with playful eyes. I didn't expect them to actually see him.

I cry as I climb up a tree. Luckily, they didn't see me and just ran past. I lean on the trunk, catching my breathe.

My imaginary friend, who introduced himself as Dade, came out and watch as I catch my breathe. He had no shape, just a black mist that follows me.

He gives me a face, but I know he's worried, I can feel it.

I gave him a reassuring smile. He shook his head and looked at a direction, to which I also looked at.

I saw... a manor? Dark accents and details were easily noticeable, making it creepier.

Dade kept looking at me, then at the manor. I shook my head "No, what if the people hurt me?" I ask scared and a bit traumatized.

Dade shook his head and went inside the dowsing rod. He hangs out inside it.

Suddenly, my dowsing rod started shaking. Until it was practically being dragged by it. I tried stopping, but it kept pulling me, until we reach the gate.

I was squeezed inside, slipping as I get dragged to the staircase and finally, sliding inside to meet..... a pair of army boots?

I started looking up, hoping to meet who's boots were these, but I got picked up by my shoulders.

I met dark blue eyes and a frown with stitches. His brown brassed up hair was hiding behind his green hoodie. He holds a mean confused look, which made me look away.

"A.... kid? Why the hell are you here?" He asks as he holds on my shoulders tightly, but not harsh.

I gulp as I look down, scratching the side of the rod. "Dade.... help...." I whisper. Dade's not coming out....

"Daddy? Listen kid, I'm not your dad," the man scoffs as he let's go of me. I blush and look down.

I don't even have parents to call on.... why would I call him dad?

"N-no! That's not what I meant...." I try to explain.

"Naib! The match is gonna start! Where the he-" A girl with brown hair and a perfume bottle stopped her sentence as soon as she lays her eyes on me.

"OMG LOOK AT HER BIG E/C EYES AND CUTE H/L H/C HAIR!" The woman screams out and started hugging me. "What's your name, deary?" She asks as she pinches my cheeks. "Y-Y/N..." I muffle out. This lady is really.... touchy.

"I see you have already met the new survivor," A young voice breaks the small moment. I look and saw a young girl in a black sweater and shorts. Her pierced ear had a chain with a cross connected to it.

The man humphed and crossed his arms "Survivor? She doesn't even have a letter," he argues.

"She doesn't need one. She has a demon with her that could tell her instead," the girl replies and turns to her back. "I have added her to today's games. Naib you will be watching her and if anything happens, there would be punishment. Vera come," the girl says and disappeared. The lady gave me an apologetic look and started running off as well

Games? I like games! Me and Dade play games all the time!

Naib groans looks at me. "I guess I'm stuck with you pip squeak," he mumbles and suddenly carried me. I let out a squeak as he carries me with one arm.

We started walking to a door, which led to a room with 2 people on it. The other being the previous lady and the new one being a girl with a cane.

Naib had set me down to the second chair at the left as he sits on the end.

I suddenly blacked out.

********

I woke up in a... ruin? I saw this typewriting thingy so I approached it. I can't really reach it but I guess I have to decode it?

I kept having these calibrations and I kept electrocuting myself as well.

Looking at my arm, I saw burns. I whimper and try to call Dade, but he won't come out.

My heart started beating faster. Why?

"Oh... what cute little girl you are~" A chilling voice said. I turned around and saw a.... really... tall man... with.... iron claws.

I froze.

He cackled and attempted to hit me, but everything quickly registered and I started running for my life.

I scream as he started following me. "Dade! Dade help!" I scream. He didn't do anything.

I tried to call for help, but I didn't know the other's name. So I stayed quiet and ran away.

This hunter is officially following me for 2 minutes....

The hunter hits me, making me bleed and start limping.

This isn't a fun game!

I had one other choice... The mysterious girl did say he needs to protect me....

"Naib! Help!" I cry out as the hunter gets ready to hit me.

Suddenly, someone scooped me up and holds me tight. "You're lucky I was close, pip squeak," the familiar voice of Naib echoed through my ears as I clutch his jacket.

"You're not going anywhere~" A voice erupts. I peak and saw the tall guy catch up on us. He hits Naib, making his back bleed. He groans and holds me tighter.

I need to protect us! It's now or never!

I grab the dowsing rod, unsure of what I should do. So I channelled my strength and point the stick towards the man.

Suddenly, Dade came out and enveloped the hunter. I watch as the hunter struggle and slow down, enough for us to escape.

Naib kept carrying me, only letting me go when we decode because apparently, I'm a decoder?

As we hear the sirens, Naib quickly carried me. His heart was beating, as well as mine. I look at our backs and I saw the hunter with red eyes.

"He's got detention!" Naib yells and dashed away. We saw the others waving at us from the gate.

We also saw a red light and the hunter suddenly appears. How??? He was so far away!

Naib growls and started running faster. "He'd down me, but you'll be ok, that's all that matters," he explains.

I shook my head and brought out the rod again.

I unleashed Dade again and once again, the hunter started struggling.

"Go!" I shout and Naib ran past the hunter.

*******

I was being treated by a nice lady called Emily. She told stories and even gave me a lollipop! We were at the bed, me leaning on a pillow and her sitting at the side.

Naib was at his room getting treated by this girl with short black hair and blue eyes. I hope he's ok and the girl give him a lollipop too!

I was laughing at Emily's jokes when a knock disturbed us. The door opened and revealed Naib with only his under shirt on.

He said something to Emily and it made Emily leave. Awwww....

Naib came and sat with me. I played with the rod since Dade was tired and resting inside.

We were quite, until he decided to break it.

"Thanks.... for saving us earlier...." He whispers. I look at him, not expecting for him to look at me also. I blink and smile. "You're welcome!" I say and hug his arm.

Please don't push me away, please don't push me away.....

He flinched but allowed me, patting my head.

I never felt this before... Mommy and daddy always try to get away from me... cowering in fear when I try to hug them, giving me anything I want in fear, and trying not to even touch me.... So receiving a head pat really... surprised me.

He's like a dad I never had.

I lean on his arm as he leans on the bed headboard.

I cuddle up beside him and close my eyes, tired of the game we played.

"Woah, you're really tired aren't you?" He says and pokes my cheek. I whine and lean closer to his body warmth.

Naib chuckles and places his arm over my shoulders, making it a pillow.

I felt him cover us up with a blanket and curl up beside me.

"Good night pip squeak,"

"Goodnight.... dad,"

No one's POV

Esther walks inside the room, in hoping of finding the injured man "Naib I was worried whe-" she stops when she saw Naib and a kid, curled up in bed like father and daughter.

Doesn't help that Naib's mouth was open and the kid's body was sprawled around the bed, her leg placed on Naib's chest. The blanket was lowered, exposing half of their bodies.

Esther giggles at the scene and looks at the two, walking closer "You somehow fit the dad look, Naib. You'd make a fine father," Esther jokes and covers the two up.

She watches as the little kid curls up at Naib's side, and the man unconsciously hugging the child.

"Cute.... I knew they'd work it out," Krazi says.

Wait a second....... Krazi?
