The choice. Yuugo/ Lucas x Reader.
You’re in the middle of this deadly playground. Goldy Pond.
You have three seconds to make the most important decision of your life, the hardest.
Because the forest stinks of blood, sweat, tears, damp soil and Leuvis is after all of you. Demons are moving through the trees. Lucas is injured and Yuugo is screaming at you to move.
And you only have two choices.
.
1- Stay in Goldy Pond.
Stay with Lucas. Help him hold Leuvis back long enough for Yuugo to escape through the gigant ventilation system that leads above this hunting ground. Stay behind in A08-63 knowing the chances of you never leaving become more real by the second.
You know what these poachers are, you saw what they did to your family, you know this place eats children alive.
Lucas grabs your arm despite the blood soaking through his clothes.
“Go!”
“That’s an order!”
But you stay anyway. You pick up the axe on the ground, you hear Yuugo shouting your name somewhere in the distance.
And Goldy Pond will either become your grave or your prison.
For once second, all you can think is:
“What if I had run with Yuugo?”
.
2- Run with Yuugo.
Listen to Lucas and run.
Follow Yuugo through the dense forest of Goldy pond, get to the vents, move through the deadly demon forest once you’re out, through the freezing desert without a single item but the glove Yuugo found when you had to double back to check for survivors.
You leave Lucas behind.
Maybe he will die, maybe he’s already dead and maybe the last thing you will ever hear from him is: “DON’T LOOK BACK!”
Yuugo grabs your wrist hard enough to bruise and drags you forward while wild demons screech. They let out terrifying ear piercing screeches and howls.
But you survive.
And survival means living with all of it.
The guilt, the memories, seeing the empty bunk beds, living with the shell of who Yuugo was. And living with the question that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
“What if I had stayed with Lucas?”
