Y/n pov

"Okay, take these, don't come out of there until all the noise goes away. Your going here after okay?"

My brother George pointed at the map, I nodded carefully, taking in the surroundings. He placed it in the hole with me along with a compass

"It leads to a house, the person inside is a friend of mine, take my jumper, he'll recognise it"
"Thank you"
"Right... goodbye Y/n, I love you, remember that okay?"
"Okay... I love you too Georgie"
"Goodbye little one, you'll be safe with him okay? He'll give you a life I couldn't give- SHIT! Hide!"

He shoved me in the hole and covered the lid. I heard him grab something and run, I heard as he jumped on the trees nearby, he had haste and it was probably to get hunters away from the house. Why do hunters chase us? Well Elves are special within themselves but certain Elves have special blood, dark forest Elves to be precise, George is a mushroom and I'm a dark forest one so I was sadly living my life hidden away, more then him anyway.

Me and George are parentless, we used to have a mushroom mother and a dark forest father, they put us in this very hole the day they died... and George probably won't come back either. Humans think that they need all our blood to make a cure but in reality they only need a few drops, but they experiment and claim they need it and its for a good cause, while our race struggles. They work with eachother, if one elf dies, our blood looses it's properties, in a way we are a non-sustainable source, even if we have children it will carry in only newborns, not older people so what'd the point in making children just for them to be killed because they're the only ones who have it? Simple answer, there's not a point.

I sat listening, clearing my head from it's loud noises. I tried to hear for anything, just to know that he was okay... I listened and I regretted it because as soon as I started to listen I heard a panicked scream along with a gun shot, I sniffed and hugged my knees closer to me, my knuckles turning white because I grabbed my knees too hard, trying not to shake. I looked down and my arms had patches of illuminating skin, I needed to calm down- and quick or they'd find me

I started to feel sleepy, I soon after fell asleep, trying to forget what I heard

~ Midnight ~

I woke up to silence, my arms still Glowing, I opened up the hole and my bright eyes looked around

When I didn't see anyone I opened the lid carefully and closed it again after me. I grabbed George's Hoodie and I also grabbed a bag. I wrapped my arms in bandages to hide the bright blue coming from them, I put makeup on my face to hide my features, I placed in contacts and then put on my hood after messing with my hair. I looked in the mirror to see how well I hid it, I did a good job I think

I placed spare bandages in my bag, along with the Compass and map, I put on my boots and headed to the door

Once I was happy with it i opened my door, I placed my foot on the first branch... this was my first Time doing this alone

"There's no avoiding it... it's not safe to stay put anymore."

I jumped down to the ground, I hadn't yet learned how to travel through trees

~ A Few Days Later ~

I'd been following the map but I hadn't found anything yet and I wasn't in good condition. My bandages had been replaced, blood seeping out an injury on my arm. I had accidentally fell out a tree and landed on something sharp. My makeup was also long gone, dirt and tears now replaced it as I sat on a tall tree, crying

"He's gone... he's fucking gone"
"Hey kid, mind the language"
"Huh?"

I looked up to see someone wearing an oversized green Hoodie, he wore similar boots and he also wore bandages the only thing was...

He wasn't an elf. I panicked and quickly tried moving away, placing my injured arm wrong, I huffed in pain and tried moving it, I would've fallen out the tree if he didn't catch my other arm. He pulled me up and sat me back down, he was standing and somehow still had perfect balance. I'd never be able to support myself, let alone lift up another entire human.

He looked at my hoodie, seeming to notice something before he pulled my hood down; he gasped and picked me up, securing me in his arms before jumping down, branch from branch, perfect balance still... I only knew my brother to be able to do that.

He opened a door and the smell of pine and a fire filled my nose, I felt warm for once. He sat me down, taking off his weird mask thing. He made some form of warm drink before sitting down next to me with a box. He pulled up my sleeves and took off the bandages, cleaning the wound and wiping off the makeup and dirt

Y'know you didn't do too bad for your first time out kiddo"
"How did you know?"
"Your hood, it's your brothers right?"
"..."

I quickly took my map from my bag, noticing my surroundings. I was at the house.

"You knew him didn't you?"
"Yea, but if your here then he's not with us, right?"
"No... us?"
"Yea, I made a promise with him that if he ever had to sacrifice himself for you that I'd protect you, he was going to introduce me to you in a few months but it seems we didn't get that far..."

~ Four Years Later ~

I walked out, black sweats, green Hoodie, rainbow Choker with matching rainbow shoes. My hair piece showing through the hood along with my Dream mask

"Dream where are my Goggles?"

He was doing the dishes when I walked in, he tossed them toward me before turning back to the dishes

"When did you take them?"
"Last night"
"I knew you would"
"So you ready to meet our friends today- oh... your wearing my mask?"
"I hope its alright, sorry I didn't ask-"
"No, it looks good, it was just something George gave me and- you look cool in it kid"
"I can give it back"
"No, we're going to be playing manhunt today anyway, you struggle to breath in that when playing, you still want it?"
"Yea!"
"Alright then"

I kept the mask on, putting the Goggles in my hair. Dream came over and pulled down my hood.

"No need for that kid, some of them are Elves themselves, no worries"
"Oh... okay!"

I pulled up my sleeves, seeing them Glowing blue again

"You happy, excited or nervous?"
"I think I'm all three!"
"Haha, it's fine, don't worry about it man!"
