-"Thirteen..." You whispered in shock, your eyes glued to his face. Thirteen colonies, or more exactly United Colonies now, looked at you with a crazed look in his eyes, his lips formed into a grin, a terrific grin as the blood on his face was clear, his grin didn't even look human. He took a step closer, now completely standing over the corpse and you winced as you heard another wave of the disgusting sound it just provoked.

-"(Y/N)! I didn't expect to see you here!!" He exclaimed with an even bigger grin if it was possible, his eyes widening slightly with excitement, scanning you over. You couldn't help but do the same, as he was so unreasonably scary right now, the sight was going to give you nightmares that's for sure.

With his bloody and crazed face and the horrific and disgusting corpse he was standing over, making every little awful sound of bone breaking and flesh spreading around at the slightest movement, the scene only would give anyone a bunch of trauma. Physically he was also way much taller than he was last time you saw him. He wasn't just a teen anymore after all, he was now a full independent country, he looked like an adult.

His eyes looked over to your side to see (B/F/N) standing there, as petrified as you. His grin immediately turned into a frown and his eyes narrowed into a cold glare. You didn't know which one was scarier, his grin or his glare... nevermind his grin was the scariest, but his frown and glare still shook the hell out of (B/F/N).

-"Of course you'd be here, always sticking to (Y/N)'s side like a worthless worm, were my threats not enough to get your dirty ass away from them?" He spat out from gritted teeth. (B/F/N) kept silent and looked back at him in fear, their body couldn't handle the sight of blood. After a few moments of silence, and seeing (B/F/N) wouldn't answer, United Colonies smirked.

-"Well, well,well, Don't you have anything to say? Last time you seemed SO revolting to my words, where did your tongue go?" He chuckled, before it slowly turned into a full antagonist laugh, his back making a concerning noise when he stood right back up.

-"I KNEW IT ! It's because I don't look like the small, weak colony I used to be a few weeks ago! I didn't know that the change of my physical appearance would affect so much! I finally am feared and respected! I'm finally considered as powerful and important! It's all I ever wanted!"

He laughed like a maniac, and despite the clear mental problems he was having, you couldn't help but agree. Now that he looks like an adult he was way more intimidating, well, it's also true that the blood on his face played a big part but let's move on.

You and (B/F/N) shared a look before you both looked back at United Colonies (or States) that was laughing Light Yagami style. You certainly didn't know what to think, nor how to act. After long minutes his laugh went down and he smirked while looking at you.

-"Well, being an adult would also make some... other things easier~" He giggled while his cheeks reddened slightly and his eyes were still on you in a flirtatious manner. You blinked and your brain immediately decided it'd be best if it didn't elaborate on what he meant.

Ignoring the awkward silence that followed his sentence, United Colonies continued to giggle at himself before breathing out, his eyes lingered on you for a while.

-"What do you think, (Y/N)? Don't you want to be close to me? You seemed so willing to spend time with me when we were on the ship!" He stepped closer and closer to you as he spoke, his voice getting louder and desperate as he looked at you with slightly wide eyes and a wide grin.

You gulped and tried to step back at each one of his steps, you were still scared to death by him, the way he just killed that man was still lingering on your mind, and you could still see the corpse from the side of your eye. Suddenly, United Colonies gripped your wrist and pulled you closer to him as your eyes met his forcefully. He looked at you with a smirk.

-"Well? Are you afraid I'd do something? Now, (Y/N), I'm still me, why won't you act with me the same way you acted when I was a colony?" He asked, giggling, as his thumb was caressing the top of your hand, you looked at him with wide eyes, trying to collect your thoughts.

-"I..." You pursued your lips, what could you say? It was true that despite his age, you still thought of him as a young teen, a child due to his appearance, and now that he was like this, just a few weeks after, you realised his mind was still one of an adult's since the beginning, and he surely interpreted your platonic affection the wrong way.

He was still looking at you from above, he was now slightly taller than you, nothing much though, you couldn't answer, and you tried to get away from his gaze the best you could, but either you looked into his eyes, meeting his adoring gaze, or you looked at the blood left on his face, hair and outfit. You tried to get your hand away from his grip, feeling fear take you over.

-"Let me go!" You ordered in a panicked tone, but he was still holding you in a firm grip.

-"Now, now, (Y/N)" He chuckled and put a finger on your lips, shushing you up.

-"Don't be so afraid! After all, everything I've done just now was to protect you." He smiled at you, and if he didn't have the blood on his face he'd look like an innocent boy... I mean man. You furrowed your eyebrows as you finally mustered the courage to speak.

-"How killing that man was supposed to protect me?" You asked while glaring at him, surely the man in question was wary of you two but when he realised who you were, he immediately backed away. United Colonies grinned in excitement as he heard your voice.

-"Oh, (Y/N) I forgot how attractive your angry voice was!" He chuckled and wanted to stroke your hair but you hit his hand away, his smile didn't falter.

-"Well, he was going to bring you to the British trash, there's no way in hell I'd just let him!" United Colonies's grin faltered a little when he mentioned his father, his grin on your wrist tightening up a little, you looked at him in nervousness.

-"Whatever, enough talking about him!" He said, his voice changing straight back to a joyful one. He turned his head towards (B/F/N) and grinned again.

-"And despite of the fact you're a worthless worm who will be better dead, I should still give you some credits." He giggled and finally let go of your hand, walking closer to your best friend who looked at him fearfully.

-"After all, you're the one who gave me this idea." He continued, looking at them with an evil look.

-"So what are you going to say now? I finally revolted against my father~" He taunted and crouched a bit to be at (B/F/N)'s eye-level. They gulped as they couldn't get away their eyes off his face in fear. He giggled.

-"That's what I thought." He said, standing back up and looking down at them, his eyes empty and cold, like the time they looked down at them once he choked them. The thing was, last time he let them go.

-"Goodbye, little nuisance~." United Colonies giggled maniacally and an infantry rifle was suddenly aimed at them. (B/F/N)'s eyes widened.

-"(B/F/N)!!!" You exclaimed in shock and fear when a sudden bang was heard, luckily, you saw they threw themselves at the ground to dodge it, but were now in a difficult position to dodge again.

And, as United Colonies was reloading to shoot one more time, you pushed him away, making him stumble and almost fall. Unfortunately he kept his balance and he seemed surprised to see you against him but it just turned him even more mad against (B/F/N) to see how you'd protect them instead of being at his side.

-"Sorry love." He mumbled coldly before you were harshly thrown to the ground, air suddenly escaping your lungs while you felt the hard ground hit your face, making you bleed slightly. United Colonies glared at (B/F/N) who were struggling to stand up again because of their fear. But, they furrowed their eyebrows and glared back at him as they finally stood up and for a second their eyes drifted away before looking back at him. It seemed they were thinking of a plan.

You coughed and tried to sit up and breathe correctly, your eyes watered a bit at the pain you felt everywhere in your body, he definitely was very strong. But, you didn't plan on staying here doing nothing as you were slowly managing to stand up, with shaky knees due to the pain and soreness you felt as blood was slowly dripping from your face, arms and legs.

United Colonies threw you a look, he didn't know what to feel. He doesn't want to hurt you but at the same time, you were so much more attractive being bloody like this. But, here was not the time. He turned his head back towards (B/F/N), this filth shall be punished for pushing you away from him all the time.

-"Look what you made me do. I'd never have hurt (Y/N) in the first place if you just played along." He glared at them, his hands gripping his weapon tightly. (B/F/N) looked at you in a guilty way but glared back at United Colonies.

-"Shut up. I'm not the one who threw them on the ground. And sorry if I don't want to die!" (B/F/N) growled, feeling pure hate for this man. United Colonies narrowed his eyes at them. While they were 'discussing', you were slowly approaching them, having way more of troubles than you first thought. He just pushed you to the ground, why does it hurt so much?!

-"I don't mean to be violent or anything, but I believe it'd ten times better if you were dead." United Colonies snarled out, glaring at (B/F/N) while another shot was heard, (B/F/N) managed to dodge barely, and the bullet just hit their backpack, whose content just spilled to the ground. Whatever, they'll be lighter this way. But, (B/F/N) caught sight of something and quickly bent down to pick it up.

Unfortunately, they were stopped dead by United Colonies who took this time to approach them and he was now right in front of them. (B/F/N) stopped picking up the thing when they noticed him beside them, they gulped and before they could do anything, they were kicked in the stomach roughly, making them spit blood and coughing, you internally yelled because the two just got further away and you now had to move further more (and it hurts like hell).

But, you quickly took ahold of yourself and didn't care about the pain, since (B/F/N) was literally getting beat up right now, and they didn't look very good. When United Colonies finally noticed you were coming closer he stopped hitting (B/F/N) and stepped aside, (B/F/N) didn't lose a second to use this time to catch their breath and coughing some more.

-"Ah, (Y/N)... You too are beaten up quite bad huh?" United Colonies pointed out, smiling in an arrogant way. He looked at (B/F/N) in disgust before looking back up at you, he held a hand out.

-"At this path, I'll easily kill (B/F/N) by beating them up like that, you too could get injured badly if you keep refusing my advances." He tilted his head, his eyes staring into yours.

-"Just come with me, and your best friend here will continue living, and you won't be hurt anymore." He told you in a slight manipulative and arrogant tone. (B/F/N) tried to fix their position on the ground as they glared at him.

-"Stop saying bullshit, you clearly want to kill me either way-" They were cut off by another kick of United Colonies who didn't break his smile and eye-contact with you. You looked at (B/F/N) in worry and looked back at him.

-"They're right... You made it very clear that you desperately wanted them dead." You said a bit nervously, seeing how his smile faltered a bit. He still tried to maintain a joyful tone but it was getting more and more forced.

-"Maybe.... Maybe that's what I wanted... But I can change my mind! I don't want you to be so heartbroken over their loss, I saw how dear they were to you, who am I to tear them away?" He smiled at you, trying to get your trust, while you clearly weren't buying it.

Seeing how you wouldn't bulge United Colonies frowned. His eyes seemed to scrutinize you some more before he walked over to you. You tensed up and stepped back, you gulped as your eyes looked up to his now cold and stoic face. He bent over slightly so his eyes met yours your faces only a few inches apart.

-"Do you really want me to force my way onto you?" He whispered, his eyes narrowing at you. Your eyes widened a bit in slight fear and anxiety.

-"Wh-what?" You mumbled hesitantly, your mind screaming at your body to run away but you couldn't move. Soon, you felt a sharp cold feeling on your chin. It didn't take long before you realised he had pulled a dagger to your chin. Your breath shortened as the blade was slightly pressed against your skin, making a drop of blood flow out.

You couldn't move at all as he was still so close to you, you felt like you were trapped, your mind couldn't think of anything between the uneasy short distance between you two and the feeling of the cold metal against the fragile skin of your neck. He was completely blocking your view, so you couldn't see anything else, you couldn't see where (B/F/N) was, you could only stare back at his cold look. Slowly his frown turned into a cruel smile.

-"How is it possible you look so much more attractive when being afraid? When being bloody?" He asked in a whispery tone, his eyes burning with an obsessive gaze. You felt the blade slide onto your neck, and more blood dripped out. It didn't hurt since it was so light, but it only just made you focus on the cold feeling the blood traced onto your skin. He just slightly slashed your neck to form a line, and he was slowly heading to make another, as if drawing some random geometrical shapes on a paper, he wanted to do this on your skin.

It was like all your senses were shut down, you were too much in your own world to completely realise what was all happening. But, your mind flickered when your ears finally caught the sounds of quick footsteps.

-"STOP IT RIGHT NOW, FUCKER !" (B/F/N) yelled as they pushed United Colonies off you, they didn't seem to care about the fact that their body was a bloody mess, they jumped onto United Colonies (yeet!), making him fall to the ground, with them too but whatever.

-"You again?!" He exclaimed in annoyance, glaring at them, (B/F/N) took care of kicking his dagger away before looking back at him.

-"Yeah, bitch. Didn't I tell you? I have plot armour." (B/F/N) stood up and middle-fingered him, that's when you noticed they held something else in their hands. You unfroze and stepped closer.

-"(B/F/N)? What is it that you..." You started in a confused tone but you were cut off again by United Colonies standing up as well, and grabbed (B/F/N)'s left arm so harshly it's a miracle it didn't break, (B/F/N) winced and you started to run up to help them but they held out their other arm to motion you to stop.

-"No, no, (Y/N), don't come closer!" They exclaimed, making you stop in your tracks, United Colonies also seemed confused at them as he just looked at (B/F/N) (but he didn't stop clutching their arm like if his life depended on it). You noticed that while their left arm was grabbed by United Colonies, their right arm that they used to indicate you to stop was holding something, you saw that it was the sketchbook. Of course, United Colonies didn't notice such a irrelevant thing.

-"(B/F/N), what do you..." You started off but their desperate look made it clear you had to listen.

-"(Y/N), this is pointless, he's much stronger than us, he'll just kill us if we continue disobeying, you'll maybe end up worse than dead." They started, their voice still raised, they seemed to start becoming emotional but they furrowed their eyebrows to talk to you clearly, (it's better if you don't mind United Colonies to the side)

-"But, I can't just give you up to him, (Y/N), I'm afraid the author really made the yandere's violent, and it'll not be a funny joke." They smiled sadly, you furrowed your eyebrows, the way the discussion was heading didn't please you one bit. They bit their lips and opened the sketchbook with their free hand.

-"However, I found a way to escape this situation..." They said, the pages flipping under your eyes, their voice was getting lower and lower as their mood went down.

-"(B/F/N), what are you doing..." You mumbled... Eyes wide as you stared at them, the atmosphere felt tense. (B/F/N) looked up to look at you, their eyes dead serious.

-"We'll have to confront the plot." They spoke slowly, their hand slightly gripping the pages, they breathed out as they looked back up at you.

-"Maybe that'll mean we won't know what will happen in the future, but at least it'll give us an escape from now." They continued. United Colonies didn't really catch on every word (B/F/N) were saying, but he could understand enough they planned to escape with you, and he wouldn't allow it. His eyes trailed back to the book they were holding. He didn't understand how it could matter, but if it played a role in your presence with him, then he has to have it. He tried to get it from (B/F/N)'s hands but they were firmly putting it away of his grip. They seemed to get more nervous at the second.

-"Although... I'm not sure if it would allow me to escape too... But, you're the protagonist right? You're the one that's important..." They looked down, it was evident they were fighting their tears, your eyebrows furrowed as you were also getting more nervous.

-"(B/F/N)? What are you doing!" You repeated, in a more desperate way, you didn't like it, you didn't like it one bit. (B/F/N) finally looked back up at you and smiled, a few sparkles in the corners of their eyes from tears.

-"I wonder... If we'll arrive in the same timeline?" They asked softly, while they suddenly took ahold of the pages of the sketchbook tightly, and were trying to pull them off. You started to realise what they wanted to do, they wanted to tear off the pages of the sketchbook, but you didn't know what would occur after that. Your eyes widened when you saw United Colonies had enough and had now another weapon in his hands, and was aiming it at (B/F/N).

-"(B/F/N)!! What are you doing!?" You yelled in horror as you looked at the figure further away, you tried to move but you couldn't, as if a force was restraining you to do so. Tears flowed out your eyes as you tried to reach out for them, to tell them to watch out, to dodge. Your head was hurting, it felt like you already saw this scene.

-"I'm sorry, (Y/n)." You heard their voice, blank, but you could still sense it was slightly shaky like if they were forcing themselves to not cry. They smiled one last time at you before they tore the pages off. And then, everything went black.

??? Pov:

I was walking down the usual pace to go home, excited since tomorrow would be the day Hannah visit us! There will be her mother too but you know... I don't really-

My thoughts were stopped when I spotted someone laying on the ground, my eyes widened when I saw blood, not good!

I ran up to them, wanting to help whoever that person was but a gasp suddenly went out of my mouth when I saw them.

They look so different... Is this... Is this the Angel? Whatever! Whoever they are, they need help! I picked them up, making sure to not touch any of their injuries. I threw a look around, no one else was here with them, it really looks like they just appeared out of nowhere... Weird.

I shook my head and straightened myself while I carried this...person to my house.
...hope Father won't be too mad at me to bring someone the day before Hannah and Flora's visit!

Here you go! We can finally enter the serious part (hahahahaha)

Speaking of serious... I tried, I swear I tried, but I can't write serious scenes without adding a goofy scene in between 😭😭

But I still hope I did a good job, it's my first time writing something like this, and I can't help but think it's cringe so yeah...

ANYWAY, now that Thirteen Colonies is now independent, it changes a lot of things! (I didn't know if it changed its name directly to United States so I put United Colonies, sorry if it's wrong)

Who's the guy at the end??? What happened to (B/F/N)??? So many questions! (Ehehe)

See you to the next chapter!
