"Hexed Child" DBD x Child Reader

Chapter Three

{Reader} had convinced himself that he wasn't hearing anything, at least anything that mattered anyway.

That's what Trickster told him, anything that he heard in the trial from then on didn't matter and to wait for Trickster to come back.

Plus, {Reader} was having too much fun drawing the Trickster with him and his pet cat. He missed pebble, hopefully he was okay.

With the Others

Feng had gave her life for David as he had escaped the eyes of the the Trickster.

He prayed that {Reader}, who he had learned the name of from Feng, was working on a gen somewhere.

As that thought passed he found a gen that was almost done. David figured that {Reader} was working on it and than the Trickster showed up.

Now assuming {Reader} was looping the Trickster around somewhere nearby as his heartbeat started to speed up.

*BOOM*

Then gen was finished.

One left.

As David tried to hide his scratch marks by walking away, he was suddenly hit by three daggers in the back.

David was now injured.

As David ran through the realm the Trickster laughed out, not too far behind him.

"I haven't heard you scream enough David! Please! Entertain me for a little!!" Trickster laughed as he threw more daggers.

And just like that, David was down and being picked up by the Trickster.

Once David was hooked, he noticed something.

He saw {Reader}'s aura.

They were laying on the ground.

Had they been slugged and David just hadn't realized it? Dammit!

The kid is probably suffering over there now.

David watched as the Trickster left towards the direction of the aura.

"You— heartless bitch!—" David struggled to scream out.

Trickster had sloppily put David on the hook, resulting in one of David's lungs being punctured.

Of course, the Entity made it so he didn't die due the injury, but goddamn it hurt like a bitch.

Maybe he should've payed more attention and looked for {Reader}'s aura, maybe then he wouldn't be bleeding out on the ground right now.

David closed his eyes and sighed as the Entity's claws came down, accepting that everyone was dead and they had lost this trial, he would have to apologize to {Reader} after the match for not noticing him sooner.

With the Trickster and Reader
——

As soon as {Reader} saw the Trickster enter his view he stood up excitedly. Flinching as there was the loud bang from the sky again, though he recovered quickly and practically hopped over to the Trickster.

"Look! Look! Trickster look!" {Reader} shouted happily as he practically shoved the back of the picture of Trickster into his abdomen.

"Hmm?~ what's this now?" The Trickster said as he slowly grabbed the pictures {Reader} had drawn on the back of his autograph.

{Reader} seemed excited by the question, "it's you, me, and pebble!!" Poking the back, or the front, of the piece of paper.

Trickster knelt down and put the photo between him and {Reader} "okay now show me who is who."

"That's you!" {Reader} said as he poked the person on the left, "me, and than pebble!" as {Reader} listed the names he poked the drawing on the right, and then the one in the middle.

"Oh here!" {Reader} said as he grabbed the paper out of the Trickster's hands and started writing on the photo.

"There! Now you know who is who!" {Reader} exclaimed happily as he held the now labeled pictures of the three towards the Trickster.

"Why thank you dear~" Trickster dragged out his words as he grabbed the paper and stood up.

"Follow me, we got to bring you back to camp at some point." The adult male laughed, {Reader} giving him a confused look as he followed behind.

"Camp?"

Trickster proceeded to explain that after the trial, they would arrive back into the forest of "the safe realm" where if anyone hurts anyone, they get punished, and that there were two campsites in the "safe realm's" forest.

One for killers, like him, and one for survivors.

"You'll go to the survivor one."

"Why?"

"Cause you're a survivor."

"But.. you were nice to me, so I wanna go with you!" {Reader} said as he stopped following Trickster and stomped his foot.

Trickster laughed nervously.

Please tell me this kid wasn't about to throw a tantrum.

'Come on, come on.... Think, dammit! Think!' The Trickster cursed at himself. He didn't know how to handle kids! Much less an upset one!!

"Uh- well you could always just come to the killer camp when you want.." Trickster paused.

Did he just tell a child... A CHILD, that they could COME TO THE KILLERS CAMPSITE WHENEVER HE WANTED?????

"Really?! Yay! Thank you uh.... Is your real name Trickster?"

"Hmm?~ Of course not! It's just a flashy nickname!" Trickster smiled.

"Oh.. so what do I call you?"

"Trickster?" The Trickster said, questioning the child.

"Oh! Do you wanna call me by something different? Is that it?" {Reader} only nodded in reply.

Trickster laughed at the child, such a weird little thing he was.

"Hmmm Ji-Ji sound good to kid? It's as close as you'll get to my real name" Trickster said as he held back a laugh.

{Reader} nodded vigorously.

"Alright then kiddo," Trickster started as he began to hear the hatch, "what about you, ya haven't told me your name ya know, I can just keep calling you dear and kid after all."

{Reader}'s eyes sparkled slightly once again "{Reader}!"

"Well then {Reader}, you see that thing?" Trickster said as he knelt down a bit "that's the hatch, it's another escape you can use, you got that?"

{Reader} nodded.

"You go through there, I'll see you soon alright? Just go to the survivor campsite, I'll come get you after awhile so you won't be lonely." As Trickster said this {Reader} nodded quickly, a toothy smiley adorned his face as he did so.

"Okay! Bye Ji-Ji!!" {Reader} shouted as he waved and jumped into the hatch.

Black taking over the Tricksters vision.

He'd have to explain to the other killers about the new survivor situation, but that wasn't his first priority.

His first priority is seeing if the Entity would get him that damned coat.
