Helbram X Reader- To Fill A Void

Chapter 8: Together Forever

You woke that morning warm. Which was odd as you had grown used to waking up shivering. You sat up to feel something some what heavy fall from your chest. Shock struck you when you finally realized you had been covered with a blanket.

Not a thin one like they would for the dead, but a fluffy quilt blanket. You scanned your surrounding to find that you - also now had a pillow but that's not that important- were still imprisoned. So why the comforts?

You slid a hand from under the covers and placed a it to your head to try and clear your thought only to feel an odd sticky sensation to your hand. When you checked it you almost screamed with surprise. You threw off the blankets to see a dagger soaked with blood staining the underneath of the thick blanket, your ragged clothes, and your hands.

Suddenly flung open and you realized it was not locked and knights flooded the room all armed and ready to leap into action at any sign of hostility from you. Then an elderly man followed after them to stand before you, Helbram.

He was quite as he stared you down. His eyes seemed to be filled with furry to any of the Knights but you knowing him could see the pleased twinkle in his eye. "Do you have anything to say? After you have murdered Sir-Aquawerks." He spoke in a sickening tone to pair with those eyes.

Your head was reeling, he actually framed you?

Two guards grabbed you by each arm and dragged you off to your new cell but you just glared at Helbram.

You knew he "loved" you so why? What does he get out of seeing you punished for a crime you didn't commit?

You were certain they would beat you or something as they dragged you down the long dim hallways, as you struggled to keep up pace glaring and watching the guards carefully, and analyzing Helbram trying to figure out what he got out of this.

It wasn't hard to piece it together when you were thrown into a new cell, this one without windows and a single bed with an actual matress, pillow, and blanket. The only light source though was from the open door which was mostly blocked by the frame of the old man Helbram took as a disguise.

"Since it has been found that the death of Sir Aquawerks was at some fault of his own for leaving your cell unlocked, you will be simply be put in solitary confinement." And with that the door slammed shut, leaving the only light source from the three small slits in the door which allowed some of the dim hallway light in, and you knew exactly why he had framed you.

He wanted to keep you there and you knew it. You simply attacked a man that's not enough for a long term sentence, but now you've "killed a man." All he would have to do is keep framing you when you get out of solitary confinement and you'll never leave.

"Fucking asshole!" You yelled punching the wall as hard as you could. You let out another curse and kicked the wall for hurting you fist. You almost punched the wall for hurting your foot but just stopped with cursing at it.

You heard a laughing then and a voice laced with amusement "losing the battle against the mighty wall?" The male voice spoke. You searched the cell trying to find its source.

You saw no one, just your barren cell, well barren accept...

You lunged to the bed and began throwing the blanket and pillow off jumping on the matress, wildly search for the person you believed to be in your cell. When you flipped the bed itself you heard the voice laugh again "attacking the bed now it sounds like!"

You were sick of this mystery voice and it's shit. "Okay where the hell are you!" You growled out to the darkness.

"Oh I'm not in your cell, I'm in the one next to you... there's some sort of crack in the wall so we can hear each other it seems." The voice spoke sounding smug and amused. You could hear the cheeky over confident smirk dripping off his words.

"Alright Mr Wallman...." you spoke as you approached the wall carefully checking the wall for the alleged crack "... if that is or isn't your name..." you continued hoping to get him to tell you his name, without making it obvious you only wanted to see if he would be useful to helping you break out. He chuckled at the nick name you gave him.

His echoing laughter drew you to the source of the sound, the crack. It wasn't very large but big enough to peek through, so you did. You were instantly struck with a feeling of recognition, where had you seen this man before. He looked up from his cruel shackles towards the wall you had been conversing through and you remembered where you had seen him, who he was.

"Actually the name's Bon." He spoke as if his name wasn't on wanted posters everywhere. "The fox sin of greed..." you were shocked to say the least as you let your mind loose with your tongue.

He had spikes running through his body holding him in place in stead of shackles, you could see the blood continuously drip off of him. So the legend of him being unkillable were true as well as the rumor amongst the inmates he was being held here.

Even though he was retrained in such a cruel, unescapable way if the legends of his strength were half-way true then escape would be easy. Helbram may think he own you but you would prove him wrong for sure.

You will escape his iron grasp.

A feeling of grief washed over you. You loved him. But framing you for murder just to keep you locked away and to himself? It wasn't safe to stay.

And right now this man on the other side of a wall, this sin, this was your only chance.
