RCU 1.5: Saving Private Oliver

Now this is where I made things difficult because my brilliant plan involves pinning it down, and lost are innately stronger than me which means I get one shot to take the mask before needing to kill it.

(Y/N): I am such a fucking idiot for doing this alone.

I turn the lost around so it is facing me, and thanks to the lack of foot(ing) I also easily push the lost onto the ground where I can use my legs to pin down its arms. I grasp at the mask and start pulling, but at this point the lost begins struggling and makes it hard to keep him under me. After some struggle I manage to get the mask off, but end up falling backwards for the fiftieth time today thanks to my pulling and the lost's pushing.

(Y/N): Ugh, someone hasn't brushed in a couple decades. This mask stinks.

I swear these things are smarter than they tell you at school, because as soon as I say that it gets a grip on my left leg and starts digging its fingers into it. Holding a scream in I thrust my sword at its skull before it manages to break my leg, it takes a couple seconds for the body to turn to mist and even when dying it kept a tight grip on me, but once its gone I get back on my feet and run towards Luca and Oliver, completely ignoring the pain.

Luca: What was all that (Y/N)? And why are you bleeding?

(Y/N): Doesn't matter, here's a filter for Oliver. Change it while I bandage myself up.

Luca catches the mask I tossed her, and I frantically start to bandage my wounds before my blood attracts all the lost in the cave or worse yet makes Oliver too hungry.

A few minutes later

Oliver's filter was a bit different, but luckily the new filter fit with a bit of force and was still mostly intact. I stopped my bleeding and it didn't attract any extra nuisances in the process. So overall, crisis averted for now.

Oliver: Thank you (Y/N). You really didn't have to do all that.

(Y/N): Don't sweat it. Can't be losing you now, can we?

Oliver: *Chuckles* Yeah, but putting yourself on the line was a bit much right?

(Y/N): Maybe...

Oliver is both right and wrong. Right because I should have taken Luca with me to make things easy, but wrong because now I have their gratitude and that hopefully stops them from taking me as a food-slave.

Though I don't really think they are tricking me anymore, Oliver seems too kindhearted, and while I can't read Luca's expressions — or lack of expressions, I understand that what looked like a smile through her mask when Oliver started breathing more steadily was pure and kind.

(Y/N): But still, the filter isn't exactly a perfect fit and you already inhaled enough miasma. Do try to not spend so much energy for now.

Luca: Leave the fighting to me. You two just stay in the back.

(Y/N): ...

(Y/N): Maybe I can lower my guard a bit around them. Just a bit?

(Y/N): Alright, time to move on.

As soon as I get up my leg flares up with pain and I fall to my knees, immediately grabbing it with both hands.

(Y/N): Ugh... At least the ladder is back there.

Oliver: Here, let me help you.

He slings my arm around his shoulder to support me while we walk. This time though, when I look back up Luca is holding a massive, saw-bladed greatsword.

(Y/N) and Oliver: Didn't you say you couldn't...

Luca: Now I can. Let's move.

Oliver: Right, we should focus on finding blood beads. After all, that girl is waiting for you.

A girl waiting for Luca? Are their — for lack of a better word owners holding one of them hostage? Not really my business, but that's a dick move no matter who or what you are.

With that last thought, we start moving again. Hopefully the exit isn't too far from here.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Comment what I should name this girl before I finish the Ruined City Center chapters (1 or 2, we'll see how many it takes).

With that said, see you all later.
