Together Again

What would he do?-- WILLOW POV

Sorry if it's bad I suck at writing angst 😶

I also re-read it and I might change some parts when i get better at writing 💀

We were running through the market as fast as we could and when we finally stopped I turned to look at Hunter. His eyes were wide in shock, his breathing was unsteady, and he was crying–a lot. "Hunter!" I called out hoping to get his attention. That seemed to do the trick, he looked at me like he just returned from a different world. I wanted to stay with him but... I remember what happened when. He found out I was talking to him.

(Flashback)

"Hunter!" a man called out from in the distance. "Oh no." Hunter said suddenly. "Willow you need to hide! Now!" the small boy seemed to have a panic in his voice. Willow knew she had to stay quiet, but she didn't know where to hide. She looked around the older boy's room, and then decided that she would hide under the bed. She quickly rushed under, and she was scared. She had snuck into Hunter's room just an hour and a half earlier. Then the door burst open. "Hunter! What in Titans name are you doing in here?!" The man seemed very angry. "Uncle, I promise you I've been in here studying and re-reading the books you gave to me and–" But his uncle's arm started to turn into a goo that was dark green with brown splotches all around. Almost like his skin was–Rotting. Willow could not just stand there and watch. Belos lifted his arm up to strike Hunter, but it was at that moment Willow jumped out from underneath the bed and dashed in front of hunter, taking the blow for him. "WILLOW–" But then Hunter covered his mouth with his hands. He had said too much. Willow was scared, what would he do to her? This was the Emperor after all. "Ah... I see. So this is why you've been distracted lately" Belos said in a cold tone. He then wrapped a goopy arm around Willow and flung Hunter across the room. This caused him to severely hit his head, and be left unconscious. "What are you doing?!" Willow screamed. The small girl tried so hard to escape the Emperor's grasp, she eventually gave up. Willow was crying, a lot too. Belos threw her to the ground and slashed at her stomach. "This is all that will happen to you... for now. But if I found out you ever talked, associated, or even looked at Hunter again. Your fate will be much worse. Be grateful you're alive." He gestured for her to leave, and she ran out the door, not daring to look back. That was the last time she ever saw him. What would Belos do if he found out we ran into each other at the market? What if he found out–if he– 

"Willow!" Gus yelled. 

"Willow are you alright?!" Amity said, very concerned. 

"Yeah, I'm fine!" I said in a fake cheerful expression. I think it showed because Hunter walked over to me and cupped my face with his hands. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" He said worried. I don't know what came over me but, my mind seemed to block out all noise anywhere else around me, all I could focus on was–him. His little gap in his teeth, his messy blond hair, and his caring magenta eyes. I felt my face get a little bit warm. "Oh no! Your face is red! Do you need me to take you to the healing coven? I can get you some tea or–" 

"I'm okay Hunter. Don't worry! I-it's perfectly normal!" I said, stuttering a bit at that last part. I eventually convinced him that I was alright, and we stood there for a few more seconds. We eventually started moving and my smile faded. Where would we go? What if belos finds out? What if– I soon lost my train of thought when I heard someone say "Where are we going?" Luz responded with "The Owl house". I just hoped that we would be safe there. That Hunter would be safe there.
