Anon asked: So, I was wondering, if you could of course, do a Mafia and Yandere BTS reaction where they discover that the S/O works for the law (as public prosecutor, judge, policewoman, whichever you think best) and she doesn't know they're mafia members she wants to capture? I hope it's understandable and sorry for the English

Ooohh this is a neat plot! No worries love! Your English is perfect! And here you go!

Seokjin

Having the love of his life, working with people who were trying to take him down? He would be distraught. The man who always knew what to do, didnt at this point. He knew he had to choose between the empire he built, and the life he built with you. It would be hard for him to choose but he finally decided. He would choose you in the end. As you told him, not wanting to hide it from him anymore, he put a hand up to you as if to say, “Say no more.” You were caught off by his reaction to finding out you were a lawyer going again him and his crew. He was frantically packing things as you stood there, trying to figure out what he was doing and if he was listening to you. He didn’t want you getting frustrated, and walked over to you, placing a hand on each side of your face with a sigh as he spoke, “I don’t care about anything else right now. My crew will be fine. But right now you and I need to get on my jet and get the hell out of dodge.” He said looking into your eyes before going back to closing his suitcase, grabbing it with one hand, and then your hand with the other. “I have wired money to my account in (different country/island) so we can start to rebuild there. I’m not going to let you go back to your old life, I’m going to take care of you from now on.” You tried to protest but he was t having it. He would have you by his side. He couldn’t let you go, even if it would take moving to another country, and starting his life over with you.

Namjoon

Finding this out, would set him back, ALOT. He would sit in his leather chair, in the safety of his office as he sat there, trying to figure out what the next move was, over the words of the man who was telling him everything he dug up about you. He felt a painful pang in the pit of his stomach when you walked in with a smile on your face, ready to go out to lunch with him as the two of you usually did on weekends. Your smile slowly fades as he greeted you with a serious expression instead of that smoldering smile of him that he only showed you. You felt your heart leap out of your chest, as you were sat down across from him and he pulled out his phone, showing a video of you going to work. You opened your mouth as you tried to explain, but nothing came out, to which he shook his head and clicked him tongue out. He ordered the man who brought you in to leave, which made you uneasy in your seat. You weren’t sure what was to happen next, as he walked behind you, and placed his hands, firmly on your shoulders. When it was just the two of you, he finally spoke, “(y/n)...why didn’t you tell me?” A heavy sigh left his body as a sigh of relief left yours. “You could have talked to me, I don’t care who you work for, I care about you.” He wanted you to know just how much he was there for you and how and how he wanted you to confide in him, no matter what it was. He did want there being secrets between you two, because he loved you so.

Yoongi

If he were to found out, you would better believe that getting far away from him or his men, would be the best option. Did he love you? Yes. However, he also loved his job. No, it wasn’t the money he loved, it was the people he took care of. They were his family, when everyone else left him in the dust. But now you were here, and part of that family after the time he spent with you and fallen for you. Though that all came crashing down once you told him the truth. You couldn’t hid it any longer. He had been nothing but good to you, plus those sly eyes and cold, hard stares was no help either. How could you not confess when he looked at you in certain ways? As you started to talk, all he could do was stare at you, however the way he looked at you, wasn’t a way you had seen before. It was cold, alone and angry. He was silent the whole time as you talked. After you were done, he moved his head to the side, as if in a thinking position, before he motioned for one of his men who was standing at the door, over to you. At this you started to panic. Was he going to k*ll you? Or worse...torture you? You were scared out of your wits as the man grabbed ahold of your arm, but it was Yoongi’s words that made the tears that started to form in your eyes stop. “I never want to see you again, do you understand? Never show your face around here.” At this you could help but sob as the man led you away and out of the house. However, as soon as he heard the sound of your crying and protesting go quiet and the sound of a car door close, he started to show how he really felt. His hands flew all over the place, glass items and furniture being flung and going crashing to the ground, the sound being so loud, it was sure to drown out his cursing. When he had no energy left he just stood there, within all the mess and chaos. It wasn’t that he wanted you to leave, more than anything, he wanted you to stay, but he knew that it was the best option for you to go; he wasn’t about to risk putting his men in danger, let alone you. This wasn’t the kind of life he wanted you to get mixed up in. Surely, if anyone else in this kind of business was to know about your true identity, then they would sure come for you even more.

Hoseok

Not knowing what to do, he would snap. His men had never seen him this way before. He was just a man in love, with someone who was normal from the everyday life he lived, or so he thought. Betrayal was a big thing to him, being as that’s what he felt from people outside of his small mafia community, so when the tables turned and someone just as important as you had betrayed him, that’s when he lost it. He wasn’t upset with you, per se. It was more towards the people you worked for that he detested. He grew upset and couldn’t help but make an outburst as he slammed his hand on the giant dinning room table the two of you sat at. He wanted the truth, but now that he was presented with it, he wished that he would have just kept his questions to himself. You didn’t know what else to do, but sit there in silence as he paced the room, with a ring-fingered hand stroking his chin. “Now what am I going to do-What am I supposed to do (y/n)?!” He didn’t mean to yell at you, but couldn’t help it, he was torn on what to do. Either let you go, or keep you. He couldn’t quite eliminate you just like he did with other people who tried getting information from him. He wouldn’t. He was at his wits end. Selfishly enough, he wanted you to stay with him, no matter under what circumstances, so he looked at you and said, “Leave your job and stay with me. I’ll take care of you.”

Taehyung

This man’s heart would break, after finding out the truth about you. Just like Hoseok, something inside of him would snap. You didn’t know what was going on when you were dragged into the main room of the mansion where “business” deals were made. This worried you for the fact you weren’t really brought in there, due to the violent nature of the status of the room, but also by the swift and gripping motion that his men had used on you. You admit this scared you, but that washed away once you saw a saddened Taehyung, sitting there on the floor, while looking at a file, with some snapshots of you. You’re secret was out, and there was no trying to deny it. You weren’t scared, being as he was always gentle and kind towards you, without showing you his violent side. No, you were sad, seeing him curled up on the floor like a child who had just found out something life changing but traumatic, like a divorce or finding out that the Easter bunny wasn’t real. You wanted to cling to him and console him, but you kept your distance, as you tried your best to explain everything in a few sentences. It was at this moment that he reached over to you and gripped onto a piece of the clothing you were wearing, he looked up at you with tears in his eyes as he asked, “Why, why, why? Were you with me, just so you could complete your jo-“ He couldn’t finish as he hung his head low and gritted his teeth, but never let go of you. It wasn’t until he looked up again that caught you by surprise,”Well I don’t care- (y/n) I love you..and I don’t care who you are. I’m not going to let you leave me.” He definitely had snapped, but he was more blinded by love. All the time and effort he spent on you wasn’t going to go to waste, and if anyone tried to rip you two apart, whether it be his people or yours; there would surely be hell to pay.

Jimin

You’d be surprised by what came next. You had a feeling of haziness as you woke up on the floor, only to see Jimin sitting on front of you. You weren’t sure what happened before this, but you had a hunch. Jimin held up a file, and along with some photos on a phone that one of his men snapped of you. He had been following you for sometime to which you got angry about. You asked Jimin why, knowing that you had trusted him the time while the two of you were together, in the which he replied, “I trusted you too; but here you were feeding information to the FBI.” He crouched in front of you with a tilt of his head and he tossed the phone back to its owner. “No, Jimin!-“ You tried to speak but was cut off by the feeling of his hand on your face, followed by his thumb on your lower lip. He looked at you for a while. His cocky smile, turning into a frown. “Why?” He asked with a small choked growl as his expression turned pained. “I loved you so much...I really though you had loved me too..” He said in a whisper as he pulled away and stood up. He had to regain himself again and that’s just what he did. He was still a gentleman about this as he told his men to take you home, safely and to forget this whole ordeal, and to forget you. It was the only way he could keep you safe. After this moment, he would never give his heart to anyone else again, because you still had it and he would surely go back for you again.

Jungkook

He had never felt so much pain and anger in one second. Yes, he was the youngest, out of all the gangs in the city, but he stil held himself together, making his appear older than what he was, but blindly falling in love for someone at his age, was still something he couldn’t help. When he found out by your true self, from word on the street of seeing you at work downtown, that’s when he knew that he was a fool. He was angry. Usually when someone double crossed him, they would get what was coming to him, but this was you they were talking about. He just couldn’t bring himself to hurt you, not now, not ever. This made things much harder. His right hand man would tell him that he had to do something or if not then he could possibly go away and do hard time for their history. However he wasn’t going to let that happen. He knew he had to let you down easy. If you were to get more involved with him, you would just meet with a terrible fate in the end, and although he didn’t want to live without you, he would rather do so, instead of living with you being six feet under. When he ordered his men to bring you upstairs to the rooftop of the bar he owned, you were sure that this was your fate for being found out, having him watch as you were thrown off his building, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, he gave you one last, longing look before pulling away from you and snapping his fingers and looking back towards the city as you got whisked away. He never said a word, no that would’ve been too hard to do, and what could he say? There was nothing. All he could do was stand there, a fist cupping his mouth, tears falling as you walked out of his life and back to yours.However, just like Jimin, he would surely show up in your life once again. It was like puppy love, and wherever you went, he was sure to follow.

The Soldier’s Doll - Part 4

Hello everyone! I’m pleased to say that I’m finally able to post the new chapter of this series. Any questions you might have, feel free to ask.

Warnings: Language (as always)

This part features the one and only Anthony Stark. ;)

Word count: 1668

Enjoy! :)

Part 3

-That stupid idiot! The borderline brain-dead moron! – I was cursing all the way home. I had to walk and take the bus and then walk again. I was drenched from the rain. Few people in the bus gave me those strange looks, but I was too riled up to care. Why did he do that of all things?

I was finally in front of my door, and I continued grumbling after I got inside. -That annoying little son of a gun deserves to be beaten to a bloody motherfucking pulp! – I wanted to rip the fucker apart and I did have all the right to want to do that.

-Who does? – I heard from the sofa, as the lights turned on.

-You scared me! I could’ve got a heart attack! – I muttered, hand to my heart. –What are you doing here? – I really wasn’t in the mood for him and his antiques. Not after the stunt which that little…that little twit pulled.

-You weren’t answering my texts. – He said calmly, too calmly, if you ask me. His hands were crossed on his chest and he was giving me one of his Dad-looks which I truly loathed. Dad died ages ago! The least Tones could do was let me live my life in peace...

-I did answer them. I didn’t answer your calls because I muted your notifications, though. – I was always honest with him, because he was my brother and I knew he hated being lied to.

-I couldn’t find you anywhere. – He raised his voice a little. – I didn’t know where you were, little light, and I thought that someone kidnapped you or worse… I was so fucking worried. -

-I’m sorry! – I said, hugging him tightly. –But what could be worse than kidnapping? Getting married? –

-Don’t joke with things like marriage! – He said, slapping me on the back of the head. –Boys are idiots, and none of them is worthy of my little light! –

-This one certainly isn’t! – I muttered, the anger built back up like wildfire. All I could think about was all the clever ways I could kill that bloody idiot!

-What happened? – Tony asked me, raising his eyebrow.

I knew I shouldn’t tell him, I couldn’t listen to him blabber on and on and on about how Bucky is extremely bad. I knew he would overreact…

But that led me back to thinking about that stupid son of a bachelor

(Earlier)

-You didn’t say no! – He said.

-I didn’t, but I didn’t say yes either, James. – I retorted. -I mean we have only seen each other once after so long. You can’t expect me to rush into it with you. –

-You-you can’t be like that, doll! I love you! I know you love me, too! – Bucky was tearing up, but he was clearly holding the tears back. His shoulders were shaking, though, as silent sobs left his body.

-It wasn’t a definite no, James, just a not now. – I needed him to know that I see us together in the future, of course he would have to be honest with me first. –Besides, this is our first date in years and we aren’t even together yet.

-Y/N, I love you. I love you so much that being away from you for all this time hurt. I need to be with you like I need to breathe the air. I will die if you aren’t mine. – His shoulders were still shaking, and he took out a fucking GUN out of his pocket. He moved it toward his temple, everything was like in slow motion.

-J-James, you can’t! Think about this, think about how your family and your friends would feel. –

-They wouldn’t give a damn, except Mum and Steve. –

-James, please! I didn’t say no! I do still love you. I never stopped. I only wanted to take things slow this time ‘round. I just… - His face stopped me half-sentence. He was biting his fucking cheek.

When I thought better about it, I realized that he wasn’t fiddling with his fingers (like he usually would while he was nervous), nor were there any tears getting out of his eyes. My eyes widened, as I nodded my head in realization. I threw him a dark glare, as I turned on my heel and started my way home.

-Wait, Y/N, where are you going? –

-None of your business, crocodile! – I spat out, while stomping away from him. I walked for two minutes straight, knowing the way back home by heart. I needed to get to the bus stop and then wait for a bus which would lead me closer to home and then walk a few blocks. As I was walking, a car flew past me, before it came back, stopping next to me.

-Come on, doll, I was joking! –

-Go to hell, James! And take your stupid jokes with you! –

-I will go back there, but the King does need his Queen, does he not? – From the corner of my eye, I could see him wiggle his eyebrows. I bluntly ignored him, but he kept on talking, driving the car slowly by my side.

“If this was any other guy, he would’ve given up by now, but not James. Why? Because he is James and he fights for what he loves. No, Y/N! Don’t go down that lane! He just made a fucking joke out of you…”

-Get in the car, doll! I want to apologize to you properly! – His voice was so sincere and pleading that I almost gave in, but I didn’t.

-No. –

-Get in the car, Y/N! We don’t want you goin’ home wet, do we? –

-Don’t worry, James! I’m not wet, just furious. – I smiled sweetly, allowing him to see that smile for a fraction of a second, before I turned back to the road in front of me.

-That came out wrong, I promise I didn’t mean it like that, doll! I’m tryin’ to say it’s gon’ rain! Please, let me give you a ride! –

-I’d rather die by being struck by thunder than stay with you another minute! –

-Is that so, doll? –

-Yes! –

-Then why are you standin’ and talkin’ instead of ignorin’ me and walkin’? – That stupid smirk was on his face, yet again!

“He’s right! Why am I talking to him?” I asked myself “Because you love him.” My conscience threw the answer straight at me. “You shut up!”

-You know what, you’re right! – I said, walking around the car, as he stopped it, hope evident on his face. I got to the passenger’s door, but I didn’t open it, as he expected me to, no, on the contrary, I got my pocket knife out and stabbed that tire. I could hear him scram FUCK a couple of times, when he realized what I did, which made me smirk widely. I turned to him one more time, and I saw him getting out of the car and walking toward me, threateningly, clenching his jaw and pursing his lips as he saw the damage on his precious baby. Before he could reach me, I took off toward the bus stop, and, luckily for me, I got there just in time for the bus.

-Nothing happened, Tones! I’m fine! – I just forgot about what happened and he made me remember it. My anger was fueling again.

-You don’t look fine! – He said. –Actually, you look like you want to kill someone. Who made you this angry, sister? Tell me, and I’ll solve it! –

-No one did, Tony! – I said. –I need to take a shower and change my clothes since I was in the rain. –

-Fine, but we are continuing this conversation when you are finished! –

Tony’s POV

I can’t believe that FRIDAY and JARVIS can’t find out who she was on a date with tonight. She’s meant to be with him and no one else, but he almost dragged her into all the crap that I’ve been trying so hard to protect her from. I couldn’t allow him to ruin my little light, no matter what, she had to stay my innocent little baby girl.

I kept both secrets from her for a reason. If she knew mine and Pepper’s secret she’d hate us both, if she knew the second one, she’d hate Peg and Pete, as well.

A doorbell ringing pulled me out of my thoughts.

-Tones, can you get it? – I heard Y/N yell from the bathroom.

-Of course, little light! – I yelled back. Opening the door, I was met with the eyes of the blue-eyed idiot. –Soldier? – For a moment there I thought I was seeing things, because I haven’t slept in days, but when I rubbed my eyes, and opened them again, he was still there.

-In the flash! – He cockily said, smirking at me. –Where’s my doll? –

-She’s not your doll anymore, James. I set up one rule for you, the one that you broke. You have to leave her alone! –

-She contacted me, Stark! – He spat. James was a criminal, but he was an honest man, and I knew he would never lie to me, no matter our differences. –Did you honestly believe that I would let this chance fly past me, like it did the last time? –

-You almost dragged her into the life, James! –

-I know, and for that, I am very sorry, Anthony! I am on the top now, you know, and I’ve been protecting her from afar for ages. Any guy that came near her, I got rid of him. Anyone that even had a thought of hurting her had been disposed. Please, allow me to date her. You know I’d never harm her. –

-You’ve made her angry, though, didn’t you? –

-Yeah, but I didn’t mean to. I was teasing her, and she took it seriously. –

-I’m giving you one last chance, James Buchanan Barnes, but hurt my daughter or bring her in harm’s way and you will meet an end so cruel that the Devil will weep. –

-Yes, sir, I understand, sir! – James said, smiling with me with a promise in his eyes. He gave me a letter. –Please, give this to her! –

Bucky’s POV

I got out of her apartment happy and content in such a long time. Anthony Stark, the man who has never forgiven anyone in his life, gave me a second chance to date his sister. I pulled my phone out, typing quickly.

Loki, abort the mission! No need for an assassination, at least not yet. He’s gave me his blessing. If he becomes a threat yet again, I’ll give you the green light. -JB

Understood. Should I watch over her tonight, as well? It is my turn. -LL

No, I’ll do it, if Stark leaves. If he doesn’t, he’ll keep her safe. -JB

The trip home (told by Micah and kitty)

K: Arriving at the pillars we could see how the water just stopped, no wall or barrier of any kind holding it back, the ocean just stopped. There was a several hundred foot wall of water, but nothing to reinforce this structure other than the water itself. At the bottom of the drop the water ocean continues on. Micah put me on his shoulders and he stood on top of spunky but I could not see and end. This giant wall of water continued on creating an uneven horizon line. Other than that the water was normal. We sat down and had some snacks on top of the pillars.

M: We needed to decide how to move forward. Being lost in the mindscape was terrifying, for me at least, and sometimes you would be lost for months with no contact. Being with kitty wouldn’t be as bad as the time I was lost at sea looking for the witches island, the little's are nice, but they don’t listen well. We could rappel down the pillars to the beach, which would give us the option of a quick return via the mountain pass and cave system to the dragons nest or we could attempt the forest on foot. I could tell Kitty was more interested in the forest, her sense of adventure was overwhelming, but the forest floor had not been charted, we had only traveled above through the treehouses and tree tops to come to the beach. We would need to do it one day, but at this point we had been away from home for a very long stretch and Kitty should have been in bed days ago. She took a bite of her sandwich and immediately started talking “hey Micah, where are we?”

“Don’t talk with your mouth full. We are at the beach what do you mean?”

“Right, I’ve never seen this side of the beach, we always come down on the side of the mountains, how far away us that from us now?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never been to this side of the beach before either. It could be just far enough we can’t see it, or it could stretch on for awhile. Same with the forest though. The side of the forest we normally travel is the edge of the mountains and I think it is significantly shorter over there. If we travel on foot through the woods we could easily get lost.” She broke off a piece of her sandwich for spot who was napping my her side and gave spunky his own. He was currently the size of a brown bear and was also napping. They both woke happily and ate their food as Kitty ate the rest of hers, except one tiny bite which she left on the pillar itself. An offering to this place, everything she ate was like that, the last bite was left, and she gave it to the location.

“Why don’t we stay on the pillars, we can see above the trees, it seems stable and spunky could easily walk it.” Spunky turned to look at her expectantly. She pulled another sandwich from her bag and tossed it to him which disappeared immediately. He stretched. looking more like a cat than a bear for a second and then stood as if signaling he approved. We climbed on his back and spot shifted to his smallest form and sat on kitty shoulder as a tiny mouse. Spunky began the trek up the pillars, it was a steep climb and Kitty was already talking to spot about being a goat if needed when spunky hunkered down and took off at a trot to make it to the top of the hill. We hung on for dear life as he reached an impressive speed for a bear with two people on his back. At the top of the pillars the world stretched out across the horizon in a way none of us had seen before. We stopped, got off of spunky and his legs gave out just as he morphed back into a simple teddy bear. Kitty gave him a good squeeze and put him in her backpack. We could hear quiet little snores coming from the bag. We would have to make the rest of the trip without his help most likely. He had never traveled this far and the number of times he had carried everyone far exceeded any previous times. As if knowing my thought, which she probably did, Kitty stated he deserved his rest and started moving forward.

K: Looking around there was so many tings to see. The forest seemed to grow into or out of the structure we were on. There would be places that I could walk out on limbs and look down onto the forest floor. “Hey this would be a good way to chart the forest of truth. We wouldn’t have to be on the ground where we would get overwhelmed by the truth, but could still see a good portion. Then we would be able to explore section if we brought some rope.” Looking closely at the forest I noticed something. There was sections of the forest that looked like the water. Like the entire land had shifted down 50 feet and rather then the trees just being lower, it was like the had been sliced. A solid wall of trees could be seen, the branches and trunks severed as if by a big knife. I turned to Micah, in tears. “this hurts” i waved my hand toward the sliced forest. He looked closer and saw what I was gesturing at. “ It makes me very uncomfortable and really hurts when I look at it.”

I walked out onto one of the limbs and laid down to look through the branches. I was immediately pulled into a truth. (The body has lost the dreams of the mindscape because I had learned to walk it while in twilight) but it truth forest style it didn’t want to let me go. I thought it would be less intense from up here, but that didn’t seem to be the case. I felt a tug and saw Micah firing his arrows at some gremlins. They ran off having lost their meal. He looked at me with slight annoyance. “Did you learn anything?”

“Yes” i said a little pouty, “I didn't mean to get trapped so quickly”

“To be fair I think they were waiting on us. Was it something you needed to know?”

“Yeah, it’s less for me and more for the body, but it was helpful. If I take another look I”ll be more careful.” I felt a shifting and jumped quickly to the wall. The part that had been cut and sunken lifted up to meet with the rest of the forest. I smiled and looked at Micah, he simply nodded smiling back. It felt better.

Back on the structure I noticed a clear different from the area we had been walking and the new area. I jumped up excited and ran to the far edge hanging over and patting the side, definitely not being anymore careful than I had been before. Within a second I saw his face “Stonewall!!” He was as grumpy as ever and wouldn’t really speak to me, but I was use to that. He just rolled his eyes and went back to being a wall. “That’s fine, I’m happy to see you even if you hate me” and I stuck my tongue out at him. Ecstatic to have a better idea of where we were I ran the top of the wall for a bit. Everything to the right of me was completely unexplored. The forest of truth had not been mapped, but we had definitely dealt with it and traveled it in some ways.... but to my right, this was new. At the juncture I hoped we were headed to the right side was the shadow area, everything was in shades of grey, sketchy, and dark. It had been explored. I knew what was there, but stayed away. What I was seeing now was not the shadows. Up until this point the plants had a jungley feel to them, thick like a canopy, but soft looking. No sturdy branches to step onto and bright green, almost glowing green from the light. But now the trees were shades of purple with hints of an unnatural blue. They were the same colors I saw around the temple I saw from the water. The blues blended with the greens at the edges, but from this perspective you could see how the purple section was completely different from the other areas around it. My first impulse was to go in that direction. I stepped to the edge of stonewall.

M: I grabbed her bag and pulled her back. “We do not have time to move away from home. We need to continue forward. We already have an adventure here.” She pouted a little and her eyes kept darting back to the purple forest and I knew eventually she’d be exploring it. It was a very long walk with not much to see or do for awhile. Every so often Kitty would walk out onto a branch and look down then come back. Sometimes she would learn something, but most often she said she just saw the forest floor. Sometimes she would stand and watch the forest with a huge smile on her face as another section corrected itself. We came up to another hill and at the top we saw our first treehouse. It didn’t look like any treehouses we’d seen before though. All the houses in treehouse forest are pretty obviously built, made of wood and windows from abandoned houses, nothing structurally sound, nothing matching. This looked like it grew here naturally. Shaped vaguely like a flower the branch leading to it has spiral vines that bounced and moved. Kitty’s reaction was exactly what I expected and she ran to the little house shouting something about needing a rest. Stepping inside there were two fairies, or possibly witches dressed as fairies. I’m still not sure. They welcomes us both as if they had been expecting us and handed us each a cup of broth. Before I could even blink Kitty had already downed hers and they watched me expectantly. I sat the cup down and looked at spot who was still tiny and hiding in Kitty’s hair. “I’m good, I had a sandwich earlier” they’re faces faltered for a second before they sweetly started offering me other things, sweets, tea, anything I wanted. With each new offer Kitty took one, but I refused. By the fourth refusal their faces were looking less happy and more enraged. The second I looked over and saw that kitty was passed out, the floor dropped out from under me. I was falling the several hundred feet to the ground and was in shock from the sudden moment. Fortunately Spot was much more aware than the rest of us and dove after me, transforming to the biggest form I’d ever seen him take. He swooped under me scooping me up, his long neck as a swan extended in anger. We flew toward the house and were attached by flying insects of all shapes and colors. I realized that these were insect god followers and we sat back down on the wall for a minute. Rescuing her this time would be a little more difficult. Though he was sleeping I did feel better knowing that Spunky was still with Kitty. That thought seemed to be enough as I heard a tremendous roar, a cracking an splintering sound, and then the largest polar bear I had ever seen stood swatting at the insects and knowing the followers out of the house. Kitty was safely on his back, still sound asleep. Once his rage was spent he made his way back to us on the wall and I gave him a scratch behind the ear and pick up kitty. He immediately retreated back to his stuffed form and I put him in the backpack. Spot once again became small having spent his energy and mass to be so large. We moved on for a little while before all the adrenaline left me and I had to rest as well. We were officially past any other insect houses and the purple forest. The wall was wide enough we could all stretch out an rest. Spot returning to dog form, he curled up with Kitty and I stared at the sky. Time passes weirdly here, so I’m not sure if it was a few minutes or a few days, but nothing approached and nothing happened in the time we were resting. Using my binoculars I could see the beginning of the actual treehouses and knew we’d be home soon. Though to be fair I was already home. I had lived in these woods, in a treehouse of my own for so long Ii didn’t know anything else. I twas only recently that my hidden attic space came to be above the living room. Holden insisting that I be close if he needed me for art, but also allowing me to be close to everyone. I liked being helpful, and I think everyone appreciated it, especially when Kitty was being a handful.... which was often. I finally saw her stir, groggily sitting up to see where she was. I wanted to yell and scream at her for being so foolish, but I could tell by the look on her face that she was quite embarrassed. I pulled her into a hug, laying her head on my shoulder. I didn’t say anything. Kitty sat up, looking at the trees, there was another cross section sliced away and it seemed to be cut at the first treehouse. There was a clear center to this part of the forest. Kitty looked at me almost as if asking permission. I just shrugged. She stepped out onto the branch.

K: The pull I felt was far stronger than anything before. I realized that this was part of what I had been looking for. As I got close to the center I could see that the trees had been sliced into concentric circles, branches would be in positions that were far below their support systems, but I didn’t question it. At the very center was a light, warm and bright, bur comfortable to look at. I didn’t lay down, but instead stepped directly into the light. How long had it been since I had felt this absolute love for myself, the knowledge and forgiveness that let me know that tough I had made mistakes and done bad things I was still a good person because I kept trying. I kept growing and getting better. I loved myself and this trip had been to find it again. The treetops rose up with me and reconnected at all the branches and leaves. I walked back to Micah and hugged him to share the love and warmth I felt. We stood that way for a long time. He looked down at me and kissed the top of my head. “Ok, we need to get you home.” I smiled at him a little sheepishly, touching the wall on the side a pathway reveled itself, straight to my treehouse which led to my actual bedroom in the house. His mouth hung open for a minute. “Could you do that the whole time?” I stepped onto the path puling him with me. “Yes and no. I can change certain things but not all the time. I can feel it when I’m able to do it. It is time to go home now.” I continued walking the path and saw the shadow of the house looming above us. I was catching glimpses of the lighthouse light which would elongate the shadows for a second before returning to normal. My tree house door was open and I could see the warm pink light from inside. Micah gave me a hug and spot licked my hand. I hugged him as well and thanked him for everything. Stepping inside I felt happier than I had in a long time.

M: As usual I was just left shocked and lone. Spot licked my hand and and patted his head. I started to head to my treehouse, but for a second I knelt down and touched the side of the pathway. Willing it to take me somewhere, but nothing happened. Spot looked at me a little sad but I ruffled his fur and hears and told him not to worry. I didn’t expect it to work. He jumped up. quickly morphing into a small bird and flew up toward my treehouse. I started the very long climb up and thought lovingly of my hammock.
