12- Selkidomus Hunt

Once we got to the throne room and walked in, Belos corrected his hunched back to look professional.

"Ah yes, You two. I have much to tell you." 

He debriefed us about Lilith being a traitor and The Owl Lady's petrification. I can't believe Lilith betrayed the emperor out of everyone in the coven she seemed like one of the most loyal. 

"And, I have very big news. Since Lilith isn't Coven Head anymore, you two are now The Heads of the Emperor's Coven. Congratulations." His congratulations didnt sound very sincere. "Tomorrow you both need to kill a Selkidomus. A crew will be prepared. You may leave now."

"Coven leaders? crazy huh?" I nudged Hunter's arm as we walked through the never ending yellow hallways.

 "Hah yeah." He let out a weak chuckle 

Y: "Hey are you ok? You seem a little off"

H: "Yeah, just tired" 

He let out a small chuckle. I stopped and Hunter kept walking but when he noticed I wasnt following he stopped and walked back to me. "Why'd you stop?" I stared him deep in the eyes and he slowly got uncomfortable. 

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked looking everywhere except at me. "You arent Ok. What is wrong." I asked in a serious tone. 

"It- It's nothing!"

"Ok, Pinky promise your fine then."

He turned to me and got really nervous. "That's not necessary I'm fine!" I stare at him more intently and say "Pinky. Promise." He let out a huge sigh. 

"Fine fine, I'm not ok." 

My expression softened and I started to walk, "Hey arent we gonna talk about it?" He said as he chased after me. "Not in the middle of the hallway" I chuckled. 

We walked into my room and I sat on my bed, I patted the spot next to me and Hunter sat down. He was playing with his thumbs and looked nervous. "So..? Why are you upset?" 

"I- I dunno. I guess I was a little jealous of Ghost and Spill, and all of the people who love you. I also feel sad because you seemed so much more happy with them then you do here..." 

"And I fee-" I cut him off my by giving him a huge hug holding him close to me. I felt my shirt start to get wet as he held onto me. I heard a couple sniffles as I rubbed his back. "I-I just" His voice rung out squeaky. "I just don't want you to leave me." 

He buried his face in the crook of my neck. "Don't worry I would never leave you." I say and we hug for about 3 more minutes when he pulls away. "*sniff* thank you" I offer him a tissue and he chuckles a little as he wipes his tears.

"Anyways, we should probably get some sleep, the new Heads of The Emperor's Coven need to slay a Selkidomus tomorrow!" I say and Get up off my bed. He gets up and starts towards my door. "Good night Y/n" He says without facing me as he walks out the door.

Before he got to his room I snuck up on him and hugged him from behind. He teased up as I put my chin on his shoulder. He then eased into the hug.

|Time Skip|

We had to wake up extra early in order to get to the boat before the rest of the crew. We got there before the sun rose. I was half asleep when we greeted the Captain. "Golden Guard and The Crow Guard. I heard of yer promotion! Congrats!" "Thank you Salty. Where is The Guard room?" Hunter said in his golden guard voice. I was half asleep, if I stood still for too long my eyelids would close. I couldn't sleep last night thinking of our promotion. 

"Right here sir." Salty said as he led Hunter and I too a room decorated with Emperor's Coven sigils and other Gold memorabilia. I spotted a chair and immediatly ran and sat down at it. Hunter waved too salty and shut the door.
