A/N: Stop asking me to update.
Jim chuckles when there's empty silence. "It was probably nothing." He chuckles. The amulet glows as if disagreeing with him. Glancing at the amulet as it glows Jim pauses before looking up at you. "You think it'll talk again?" He questions curious. Looking at the amulet than Jim you pause. It called out his name but after that it was silent in the show... But who knows? Maybe it would speak again.
"Maybe." Shrugging at him Jim sighs looking at the amulet before he picks it up. Toby had texted that he wanted to know if anything cool happened with the amulet while he was with his Nana but so far there was nothing. Jim glares at the amulet annoyed.
"Talk again or I'm putting you up on Ebay." He threatens. Chuckling at him you snort and he blushes embarassed before placing the amulet down. "It's been a weird day." He groans before laying back onto the couch. Agreeing there's another loud thump from downstairs.
You stiffen looking at Jim. You'd almost forgot that Blinkous and Aarrrgh were here, just below your feet waiting down in the basement.
Unsure of yourself you look at Jim. You could stop him. You could take the amulet and pretend he wasn't the trollhunter. He could be free of all this responsibility before he had it. Holding the amulet it hums in your hand. You look at Jim before glancing at the floor.
Jim wanted adventure but the road to adventure was paved with hell and hardship. You had woken up in this strange new world not knowing the reason. Maybe it was your responsibility to take the amulet. To change Jim's destiny. Hearing another loud thud Jim stiffens. Placing the amulet down face crestfallen you know it's not your place. That this is Jim's destiny and that he would be an amazing trollhunter. But that didn't answer the question why you were here. How you were here.
"I'll check it out." He states getting up. Swallowing thickly you follow behind him.
"Like I'd ever let you face anything alone." Grabbing a knife from the kitchen he opens the basement door.
"Raccoons." He states looking at your knife strangely. You nod still clutching the knife shaking slightly. You knew nothing wou. They weren't raccoons Jim...
Creeping down the creaky stairs he grabs a broom. Peering into the darkness he gets off the last step and glances around. He doesn't see anything yet but you watch as six eyes glow and appear in the darkness. Blinky stands in front of the fire and Jim pauses as a large shadow falls over him.
"MASTER JIM!" A booming voice shouts and you drop the knife you were holding in surprise. Jim screams and backs up but bumps into Aarrrgh. "Hello! It is stupendous to finally meet you. I am Blinkous Gladarigal. And this is my companion Aarrrgg." Blinkous greets ecstatic. Aarrrgh smiles down at him.
"AHHHHHH!" Screaming again Jim drops his broom and stumbles backwards bumping into Aarrrgh's chest.
"No." Aarrrgh corrects. "Aarrrgh. Three R's." The trolls explains holding up three fingers. Jim screams louder and turns to run only to bump into Aarrrgh's hand. He does this once or twice before ducking under the mossy brute and covering his head as he lays on the ground. You stand on the stairs staring at the two trolls who seem confused at Jim's behavior.
"(Y/N) RUN!" Jim shouts as he curls up on himself. He shakes having no weapons to defend himself, thinking he's about to be eaten. You swallow and stare at the trolls but they're focused on Jim.
"He says Ahhhhhhh a lot!" Aarrrgh notices. Blinkous hums in agreement before looking up and seeing you.
"Ahhhhh Friend (Y/N). You were with Master Jim when he retrieved the amulet. A pleassure and an honor." Bowing to you, you nod at Blinkous confused. Aarrrgh smiles and reaches for you. Stiffening he gently picks you up off the stairs and puts you on the basement floor where Blinkous and Aarrrgh are.
"Hi." He greets smiling. You smile softly.
"Hi." You respond staring up at the gentle giant. Jim screams again and Blinkous tilts his head.
"It's more of a loud yelp than a scream. Perhaps a human greeting." Your about to correct Blinkous but it's too late. Aarrgh and Blinky smile as they yell at Jim frightening him further.
"That's not a human greeting. He's scared! I- I'm scared!" You act pretending to be afraid. If Jim saw you so calm with these huge trolls before you actually got to know them he may be suspicious. Blinkous blinks before opening his mouth.
"Oh I see." Blinkous acknowledges. Jim tries to scamper up and run but Aarrrgh grabs him and holds him by his foot. "Why are you scared Master Jim? You have been chosen!" Blinky says proud as he claps his four hands together. Facepalming you sigh. They really had no idea how to deal with humans did they? Especially young ones.
"Aarrrgh you can't hold a human like that!" You reach for Jim and Aarrrgh tilts his head before dropping him. You wince seeing Jim fall to the ground. Jim looks confused and you look worried. Oh he'd wake up with a giant bruise on his head tomorrow for sure.
"Please Friend (Y/N). Aarrrgh this is a moment of solemnity." Blinky states glaring. Aarrrgh looks confused as you slowly help Jim up.
"So-sole-em-inty?" He tries to sound out. You smile and pat the trolls shoulder still in shock that he's there. That your here. Grunting you loose your grip on Jim and he falls.
"Solemnity. It means serious and dignified." You explain and Aarrrgh looks at you before humming deep in his chest.
"Dugnified." He says slightly messing up the word. You smile encouragingly and try help Jim to his feet again. He was a bit limp from shock but otherwise he was okay.
"Yes friend (Y/N) good. I see you are a scholar." You nod and Blinkous smiles brightly at you. "Now... where was I?" He mumbles looking at you and than Jim.
"Ummm... Master Jim found you?" Aarrrgh questions scratching his head. You smile and Blinkous nods.
"Yes thank you." Blinky coughs and clears his throat. "Master Jim you have been chosen." Jim screams and pulling at your arm backs away from Blinky. His eyes are wide and he flinches when he hits Aarrrghs stomach. "The amulet of Daylight challenges you to ascend to the most sacred of office's." Aarrrgh looks confused but lets Blinky continue. Jim clings to your arm shaking and you let him as you watch Blinky curiously. "Unbeknownst to your kind there is a secret world. A vast civilization of trolls hidden under your feet away from view."
"Tr-trolls." Jim stutters confused. You squeeze his hand and he looks at you scared.
"Yes trolls! And it is your job to protect them!" Blinky declares. Jim begins shivering. "For you Master Jim are the TROLLHUNTER!" Blinky cheers.
"Trollhunter." Aarrrgh repeats nodding.
"This responsibility is yours to accept. So what say you?" Jim blinks before he closes his eyes and faints falling backwards. Grunting you catch him but he's out cold. Collapsing under the string beans weight you groan from the ground.
"Is that a yes?" Aarrrgh asks you. You smile and try to push Jim off of you as you struggle underneath him.
"It's a maybe. Please help me bring him upstairs." You beg. Blinkous nods and Aarrrgh carefully lifts Jim up. Blinky helps you stand and hums curious.
"Friend (Y/N). You do not seem afraid." He states intrigued.
"I have a feeling if you wanted to eat us you would've done so by now." You answer. Blinky nods accepting this.
"You are quit astute." He states kindly. You nod and he smiles at you but a small frown begins to form. "You will be a good companion to Jim as his story continues. Never has someone so young been chosen. Never before has their been a human trollhunter. And never before has Bular been so desperate to get the amulet. Many unknowns are to come and he has many challenges ahead. Stand strong and be with him. He will need friends like you." Nodding Blinky clasps your shoulders. "Stay strong. Your adventure is only beggining." You realize Blinky's right. Your adventure is only just beggining and you have many challenges to come and obstacles to face.
"Blinkous-" You wonder if you should ask him. If he could help you. This wasn't your world. You didn't know how you got here or if you could get back but if anyone could help wouldn't it be Blinky? He had read more than you ever could in a life time. Surely he'd know something...
"Yes Friend (Y/N)?" Hearing a grunt you see Jim face down on the couch and pause. Jim would need you. Maybe you weren't from this world but it was your world now. Maybe this was your purpose.
To help Jim.
"I'll see you two again right? Jims trollhunting. It... I'll be apart of it right? He won't have to hide it from me?" Blinky smiles and gently puts his head to yours.
"Friend (Y/N) I wouldn't dream of tearing you two apart. We will see each other again very soon." Looking relieved Blinky waves goodbye and goes back to the basement with Aarrrgh. You look at Jim and sit down waiting for him to wake up. Looks like your staying.
Timeskip
Jim wakes up and looks around scared. Your watching the ending of Sally Vs. Gun Gun robot and hum as he shifts. You couldn't fall asleep after Blinky left so you sat waiting for Jim to wake.
"I had the craziest nightmare." Jim mumbles stretching. Glancing at him you snicker.
"It wasn't a nightmare." You state still watching the screen. Jim shifts before turning towards you and stiffening.
"What?" He questions laughing nervously.
"That wasn't a nightmare. I was there. There we're trolls. Your the Trollhunter Jim." Jim pauses before getting up. He begins pacing. Continuing to watch the Sally movie minutes later he begins freaking out. Screaming and rambling. Confused and unsure how to handle him and what to do you call Toby.
"Yeah hey Tobes. Jim is freaking out. Something crazy happened last night and-" You start.
"Did you two kiss???" He demands. You pause and make a face glancing at Jim. He hadn't heard and kept pacing.
"What? No." Crinkling your nose you try and focus on what was happening now. "Anyways Tobes I need you to come over. Like now please." Toby winces over the phone as he hears Jim screaming nonsense in the background.
"Sorry (N/N)." Tobes repsonds. "I'm kind of busy. I'm at the dentist and I'm gonna be here all day." He states. Who goes to an appointment and stays at the dentist all day? Toby why do the writers hate you so much???
"Tobes wait no don't do this-" His phone turns off with a loud beep making you huff. Closing your eyes you turn towards Jim who is now breathing erratically as he paces. He looked at the amulet before glancing down at the basement and than looking back up at you scared. Closing your eyes you take a deep breath in before opening them. Pointing at the couch you stare at Jim.
"Jim. Sit." Staring at you he sits down. He begins to tap his foot anxiously.
"What were those things?" He questioned. "Why did they come here? What did they want?" He asks looking to you for answers.
"I... I we need to tell someone! We need to talk about this!" Jim shouts panicked. Looking at him you sigh flopping limply onto the couch.
"..." You know he's going to go to Strickler. That he's scared and confused and needs guidance and as much as you want to help him yourself you can't. You want to tell Jim now so his heart doesn't get broken later but you can't.
Strickler couldn't be trusted but at the moment you didn't have a choice. You couldn't just tell Jim the truth. Not yet.
"Strickler. We need Strickler." Jim states suddenly. Yep there it is. Swallowing you shift unsure but reclundentally give in. If that's what Jim said he needed you'd follow him to the ends of the earth to get it. Getting your bike seeing your parents still weren't home you drove off with Jim arriving at the school. It was a Saturday but apparently Strickler had office hours as all the teachers at Arcadia Oaks did and to Jim's luck no scheduled appointments either.
Chasing after Jim who was full of nervous energy you smiled softly wishing Strickler was a better man. Jim deserved the world and after Strickler went through some hard life lessons so did he. But right now it would be fine. Strickler didn't know about Jim but Jim didn't know either.
"Oh young Atlas." Strickler greets. "And Hecate." (Goddess/God of Magic) "What brings you both here?" Strickler questions smiling.
