A thought

~3rd Person POV~

Hours passed, as the other group found a place to stay. They were in a cave that was once dark but was now lit up by a small fire. As soon as the fire was lit, they made themselves comfortable before they would set off to find other allies.

"I hope we get there soon..." Aphmau said as she leaned on Aaron.

The others nodded as they heard this.

Everyone looked relaxed and in peace. Katelyn was leaning on a rock and crossing her arms as she fell asleep, the couples were leaning on each other and Garroth resting his back on the wall of the cave as his brother, Vylad, rests his head on Garroth's leg.

On the other side of the woods, Y/n and the boys were in a cave not too far from their destination. The only reason they couldn't get there in time was the sudden storm that led them to look for shelter.

"The storm isn't stopping anytime soon..." Y/n said looking at the boys from the entrance of the cave.

"I-It's so c-cold..." Laurence said shivering.

The boys were shivering and hugging one another to keep themselves warm. Y/n looked at them with pity in her eyes but had a small smile plastered on her face. She walked around the cave and saw twigs and gathered them at the center. Travis looked up at her and saw her with her hands facing the gathered twigs. Travis reaches out to her because he knows her powers are not yet stable.

"N-No...Y-Y/n..."Travis struggled to voice it out.

Y/n closed her eyes and her hair turned red. She slowly opened her eyes and her eyes were glowing white. Travis slowly tries to make himself stand. A string of fire circles around her. The other two slowly open their eyes since they fell asleep. They see Y/n having a ball of flame on her hands and Travis stumbling towards her.

"W-wait.." Travis choked on his words.

Y/n was mesmerized by the ball of fire. Somewhere in the small ball of fire she saw a little girl. The little girl was helping another little girl who was flickering and was on the ground and was curling up in a ball. Y/n tilted her head and saw the little girl hugging the flickering girl. The flickering girl was turning into a monster and the little girl backed up as it turns into a monster. The flickering girl was trapped as a big wolf. Y/n saw the little flaming girl walking towards the wolf and saw her clap at the monster. The wolf was confused and took a step back but the little girl ran to it and hugged it. The wolf went stiff and then the little flaming girl went in the wolf and brought out a small flickering girl. The little girl looked at Y/n and held the little flickering girls hand and it began to give its true colors. The little flickering girl was a purple flame and both flames danced together. Y/n gasped.

"You're not a monster. You just need someone to see you differently."

Suddenly, Y/n remembers Circe's smile. Tears started flowing from her eyes as she begins to tremble. Out of nowhere, a back hug was given to her. In shock, the ball of fire fell on the twigs as it lit it up. She turned around and saw Travis with a weak smile. Her eyes and hair turned back to normal as the light of the fire lit up the cave. The two boys who saw everything that happened stood up and approached them. Y/n and Travis part from the hug. Y/n looks away as her tears keep flowing. Travis was about to talk to her but Laurence stops him.

"I'll talk to her..." Dante whispered to them.

Travis nods as he felt the chill get to him. Laurence and Travis shivered and sat close to the fire to warm up. Y/n walks to the entrance of the cave and sighs. Her tears kept flowing as she soon starts to bawl her eyes out. She slowly slides down on the rocks and cries her eyes out. Dante, looking at her, made him feel upset. He walked towards her and lowers down to her position as he laid his hand on her shoulder. Y/n looks up at him with tears flowing down her cheeks. Dante was worried for her and gave her a sign if she needed a hug. She slowly nodded and Dante brings her in for a hug. Y/n sniffles as she is being hugged by Dante. Dante stroke her hair slowly to comfort her.
