It was brief, but deep and genuine.

All it took was a 2.5min phone call with my parents and I immediately wanted to park & jump off the Huey. P. Long bridge.

December 18th Idia's Birthday!!! Happy Birthday Senpai!!! 😘💕😊

It was a silent afternoon, the sun had begun to slowly make its way behind the mountains and trees that surrounded Night Raven College, most of the students had finished with their club activities and where now heading back to their dorms, (y/n) wasn't one of them, today it was different, they where planning to meet up with someone that will change their life, forever.

As (y/n) travelled through the woods, walking off the path they found a stone trail, did anyone else know about this secret passed way? who knows, the trail led to an old wishing well, as they sat on a concrete bench that was on the opposite side of the well they signed, the only sound they could hear was the sound of crickets, the wind among the leaves and sometimes the soft sound of the well's water, they closed their eyes and lifted up their sleeves revealing the fresh red cuts that they hag gotten a few hours ago, they bleeding had stopped but the cool air against their skin made them sting, (y/m) gritted slightly their teeth as the pain slowly faded, just as they where about to cover them up again they heard the sound of footsteps, they where timid, like they didn't want to wake someone up, it had to be him, they were sure of it, just as they suspected their theory was true, from behind the trees appeared a faint blue light followed by a hooded person that had his hands held tightly to his chest, that was the person they where waiting for, the Ignihyde dorm leader and third year Idia Shroud, a very memorable characteristic of his was his blue flamed hair which illuminated the space around him in a faint blue light, once his eyes met their figure he went and sat beside them on the concrete bench leaving a reasonable space between them, he looked up at the starry night and then his eyes found their way to your cut arms, he made a small noise which could had been 'surprise' if you didn't know each other well, no, that sound wasn't surprise, it was satisfaction, was it because he had already guessed that he will find you this way?, or was it...because he was hoping he will see you like this...you turned your head slightly and looked into his golden orbs, once his eyes met yours he quickly looked elsewhere to avoid direct eye contact, you heard him make a small yelp and then his voice reached your ears.

"How...how are you doing?" His voice was soft and quiet but clear as day, it was a type of voice that you would want to hear when you where sad or unwell and it would calm you down straight away.

"Could be better..." (y/n) answered as a breeze blew past their hair. "I didn't think you would actually be here tonight..." Idia turned and looked at their hands on their lap.

"W-why would you think that?" He asked, the moon had started to make its way into the sky, making his pointed teeth shine in the moonlight, pearly white, would they hurt?, you asked yourself, this was a question they wanted to ask him for a long while.

"I don't know...maybe you had something better to do...play games, finish an upgrade for Ortho, stream anime..." they continued.

"I thought about that...you know how I don't like going outside...b-but I wanted to see you!...i-if you needed me...since you don't ask for me to leave my dorm if it's not important...so...what did need?" He asked, (y/n) turned their head and looked at him straight into his pools of fiery gold, they opened and closed their mouth, trying to find the right words.

"Idia...your...your a descended of the King of the Underworld...right?" His eyes widened a little and then he gave a slight nod, "I...did a little research...I've always heard other students talking rumors about your family being cursed...and I wanted to know more about it...to see if it was true or not...I didn't want to ask you about it because you might've not wanted to talk about it...so I did it on my own..." he shifted in his seat clearly starting to get a bit uncomfortable, will you stop talking to him now?, will...will you hate him now?, think his weird or...a freak of some sort?, he calmed down a little hearing your next words, "have...have you been to the Underworld?" He nodded starting to play with the zipper of his jacket, maybe because he was nervous, "how...How Is it?....I mean...how does it look like?...do you...do you think I'll like it there?" He hesitated a bit, processing your words, and then he spoke.

"It's quiet...I...I don't think you will like it..." he said, his hands had left the zipper and where now laying beside him, once hand slowly making its way closer to yours, "why would you want to go there?...are...ate you sure about this?..." he asked, they sighted and looked up at they sky that now was a very dark blue almost black as silent tears started to fall from their eyes.

"Its just...I...I don't belong here Idia...I'm...I'm tired of waiting and being alone, I...I will never get back to my world!...I will never see my friends or family again!...I don't belong here!, every...everyone here always makes fun of me or teases me because I don't have magic and still go to a school about it!!, it's like...being a lifeguard without knowing how to swim...like..." their sentence was cut in the middle as their tears and sorrow took hold of their ability to talk, as they lifted one hand up to their face to wipe their eyes they felt a cool sensation on the other, they turned their head and found Idia looking straight in their eyes, his grip on their hand was gentle yet firm, his eyes eyes where shining brightly into the night as he looked at them in direct eye contact, this was the first time he ever looked at them directly and touching them nonetheless.

"Your...your not alone!, you...you have me!..and I know how you feel, that...that you don't belong here..I'm I'm somewhat of an outcast myself, so I think it's better for me to stay locked in my room then being seen by the judging eye!...but...but then I met you...you...you didn't judge me for who I was...you stayed by me...so I will do that too!, so please don't go there!!, not until the Moirai say so!!, plus...Ortho would be really sad if something bad happened to you...so please...stay with us...stay with me..." His words played again and again in your head, echoing in your mind, you inched closer to him and he did the same, opening his arms and taking you into a hug, tears continued falling from your eyes and you began apologising.

"I'm sorry!! I...I won't go there!!!...I will not leave you!!!" Your voice cracking from time to time by your cords chocking on your tears.

"Υποσχέσου με..." (Promise me).

"I...I promise!...I promise..."

As the night was still young, two souls where hidjden deep in the woods, side by side, till the day the Moirai set them apart...

3.7 pages?!! Damn 😅 (1,349 words).

The Moirai also know as the Fates controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. Both gods and men had to submit to them.

Ja obiecałam, że będę kochać cię zawsze

Prologue:

(Y/n) was a nice girl, she was kind, and artistic, but no one appreciated, she would get bullied in school, and people will talk behind her back, her parents didn't bother to see whats was wrong with her, the teachers will always tell them that something was going on, but all they would do was beat her up, and then lock her in her room, but there were some happy times, were she would go out with her best friend (f/n), and her parents were sometimes good as well, but that ended fast.

One day, her parents were involved in a car acceding, and got killed, (y/n) had to live with her aunt and her uncle, but they weren't good people either, they would leave her alone every single night, and go to bars and get drunk, after they came home, they would beat her up as well, but they didn't show mercy, sometimes they would tie her with chains, and leave her in the basement, but that had to stop.

It has to......

Your P.O.V.

I woke up from my aunt's angry voice yelling at me to come down from my room, room, I was sleeping in the attic and they called it a room? Never mind, I got down stairs only to see them packed up waiting for me in front of the door.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"Oh, didn't I tell you? we are going on holiday YOU are staying here" my aunt said as she picked up her bag and left the house, I looked out the window and I saw there car leaving, and soon disappearing from my eye sight. As I realized that I was finally alone I rushed to the bathroom, I opened a cabinet only to find my uncle's hunting blade, I didn't know why her kept it in the bathroom but I didn't care, I lifted the blade up to my throat.

"this was it, the only way to get away from this misery... the only...." I thought as I pressed the blade closer to my throat, and it happened, pain, more pain the pain I had so many years, it hurted, I cried, I cried louder.

"no one will hear me, no one will help me, no one....will save me." I thought as everything around me turned to darkness.

I didn't know how long I was like this, lying on the bathrooms floor, what is happening, why am I still alive?, or am I?. I opened my eyes only to see that I was in a black room, nothing but darkness, I tried to stand but I couldn't, I tried to talk but I couldn't, I could only blink my eyes, whats happening?, were am I?

And then....I saw...a golden light, coming from the shadows, I was waiting and trying to see what that was, then a figure came into view, and then the figure transformed into a male with black hair, he had gold glowing eyes, he smiled to me, his smile glowed the same way as his eyes, my hear was beating faster, my heart told me to run away from him, but I couldn't, I looked at him, as his gase met mine tears started running down my face, I was crying, with no use.

"Shhh....dont cry, dont let these tears ruin your beautiful face" he said as he wiped my tears with his gloved hands, his touch was soft, I closed my eyes and let the feel take me away.

"You enjoying this huh?......" he said as he sat down in front of me, who was he? I looked at him confused.

"You are probably wondering who I am, am I correct?" He asked, I tried to knob but couldn't, so I just blinked. "They call me Puppeteer" he said as he moved some of my hair out of the way. "Are you wondering what happened to you?......you are broken....broken just like me.....I can help you....will you want this?" He asked, I blinked again, help me?, no one ever helped me?, what if his lying?. As I was wondering what he ment by help me I felt myself being lifted from the ground, I looked down only to see that I was floating from the ground, I managed to begin moving my limbs again, first my hands, then my legs, and last my head, I turned my head towards the male in front of me, he had golden sting like things coming out of his fingers surrounding me, I felt my heart beating faster, should I run, I tried to run but couldn't, I was in the air, what was he doing to me? I felt my face heat up, I started kicking my legs and struggling to get free from the his stings.

"Shhhhh....calm down my little puppet....we wouldn't want you get hurt now wouldn't we?" He asked, what did he mean by hurt?, will he....hurt...me?. I calmed myself down and starred into his gold eyes. "Now that better right?, don't move much, you will get used to this 'golden token' in no time, most people aren't lucky as you you know?" He said as he began to walk as he carried me with him, I tried to talk but only some noises came out. "Dont rush yourself, you will talk latter, just tell me this, whats your name?" He asked starring into my (eye colour) eyes.

"...(Y...../....n)..." I struggled, my voice was like I didn't use it for years, he walked through a door, and we found ourselves into a nice looking living room with a fireplace.

"Are you wondering how you got here, (y/n)?" The Puppeteer asked, I knobbed, he sat me on a chair but didn't remove the strings. "You died....you were broken.....my job is to stitch the broken one up....as for the strings....you will need them to move" he said as he sat next to me.

(20 minutes time skip brought to you by Slender)

After getting to know him a bit I realized he wasn't that bad, his back story was sad, I began to talk a bit more, soon though I got tired, he picked me up again and moved me to another room, he layd me on the bed and removed his strings.

"There we go.....you can sit like this till morning right?" He asked I tried to knob but couldn't so I blinked. "Goodnight (y/n)" he said as he left the room.

"Goodnight Pup" I thought to myself and closed my eyes, I am making a new start in the morning.

THE END.
