Chapter Text
You sat high up in a tree, one knee pulled up to your chest while the other dangled below, swinging in the breeze. You sighed and let your head lean against the trunk behind you.
"Well, well, well," A voice caught your attention.
You lept down to crouch on a lower branch. Looking down, you saw a group of ghouls had surrounded two girls, by the smell of it, a werewolf and something else not quite human.
The werewolf growled and unsheathed her claws while crouching slightly. The other not-so-human girl had a knife in each hand.
"Looks like we got some fighters," Another one chuckled.
A third cracked his knuckles as he released his Kagune, "I love it when they fight,"
"Back off," The werewolf growled.
The ghouls only chuckled and began circling the girls.
-----------------------
You tilted your head as you took in the scene. Normally, you didn't interfere with other ghouls and their eating habits, but this was different for a few reasons.
Jericho was a quiet town you were fond of, and a group of ghouls feeding like this would bring nothing but trouble.
Secondly, you knew hunting was only natural, but you had rules. You weren't too picky about who you hunted. Except for children, everyone was fair game.
These girls were residents of Jericho and judging by their Nevermore uniforms, they were around your age.
Sighing, you made your decision.
------------------------
Wednesday grit her teeth.
Being surrounded by ghouls with only knives to defend herself wasn't good. All she could hope was to distract them long enough for Enid to get away.
She backed up until her back was against Enids, readjusting her grip on her weapons.
One by one, the ghouls began to release their kagunes. Wednesday tensed, getting ready for an attack.
Suddenly, a figure landed in front of her.
"I believe the lady told you to back off." They said.
One of the ghouls scoffed, "And who the hell are you?"
"I'm glad you asked," The figure chuckled, then dropped their hood.
Another yelped and fell back. "H-holy shit."
"It's Eyepatch! RUN!" The group took off into the dark of the forest.
"Well," They said chuckling, "That was easy."
------------------------
You turned to face the two girls, tilting your head as you studied them.
"Dangerous things are lurking in these parts, you shouldn't be out here." You told them.
"And what about you?" The dark-haired one asked.
You scoffed raising your hood, "I'm the most dangerous thing there is."
Turning your back on the girls, you began walking toward the tree line.
You had ghouls to catch.
