"___," Law murmurs, waking you. You blink awake. The room was dark, and Law stood with both your and his things.

"Law? What are you doing? What's going on?" You yawn, sitting up.

"We have to leave, come on ___," He whispers. You blink at him in confusion.

"Um... Okay," You murmur, getting out of bed and putting on your slippers. You rub at your eye and reach to take your suitcase so he wouldn't have to carry it. Law was your surprised that you agreed without question.

"You're not gonna ask?" He inquires.

"No, I trust you Law," You reply simply, pausing when he moves your suitcase away to his other hand. He takes your hand and kisses the back of it, a soft smile on his lips.

"Thank you ___," He breathes. "Now follow me," He says, releasing your hand and starting for the door. You follow him out but stop when you see everyone else with their things packed. You felt confused as they exchange tense nods. Law starts for the back staircase with you and the others close behind. You look around the group, the only one missing was Kid.

"He'll be along soon," Killer assures, catching you looking back toward Kid's room.

"What's going on?" You whisper.

"We're leaving the school," He answers.

"Why?" You ask in confusion, why we're you the only who seemed clueless.

"Its not safe here, let's just leave it at that," He tells you. You frown at that.

"Alright then..." You murmur, still confused. You look toward Law as he looks back at you from the corner of his eye. You trusted him, but still wish you knew what the hell was going on. Law offers a smile before leading the group out and toward the back wall. You glance at the starry sky, it had to be two in the morning. What the hell was so urgent that you had to wake at this ungodly hour? More groups were waiting outside the wall, even some teachers, nearly the whole school seemed to be outside the wall.

"Good, everyone's here... Follow the maps directions to get to the roads, stay in a group if you can, and good luck," Law tells them. They nod and everyone starts to split up except for your group. Law turns to you. "Come on, we need to get you away from here," He adds before starting for the forest. You swiftly catch up to his side.

"What's going on Law?" You ask, now feeling uneasy.

"This school is too dangerous, we're gonna get rid of it," Law answers.

"Get rid of it? What do you--" KABOOM!! The blast brushes your back and you look back toward the school to see a building ablaze. You stopped in shock.

"Looks like the boss has started on time," Killer comments.

"Come on, we need to get to the spot and wait for him," Law says, before carrying on. You follow him, still in shock.

"You're blowing up the school?! When did you plan this?" You question once your thoughts are gathered again.

"After the tower incident, I'm not going to let him threaten your life and pull you into his madness anymore," Law replies, looking ahead. You blink in surprise, unable to question further as you reach a wide clearing that sat next to an extremely high cliff. You look around it as the group spreads out a bit to wait. You look back to see if you could still see the school. You can't, only the orange glow of the flames can be seen above the trees.

"Is.... Isn't this a bit extreme?" You ask Law, looking over at him.

"Unfortunately I believe this is a bit lax," He admits turning you. His eyes meet your questioning (e/c) orbs. "___, please trust me when I say, that man is dangerous. And you have caught his attention in the worst possible way," He tells you.

"How do you know?" You ask warily. Law frowns a bit before telling you.

*Law's Flashback*

"You know of me?" Law questions, arms folded as he leaned back in his chair, arms folded over his chest as he looks at the blond man unimpressed.

"Fufufu! Why of course! I make it my business to know all of the most troubling rookies," The man before him laughs. Law frowns.

"Rookies?" He echoes.

"That's right, you kids that are new to the game of crime," Doflamingo rumbles with a grin.

"Alright, what do you want with me then?" Law questions.

"I wish for information about a certain, well known rookie who has suddenly disappeared from my radar," The blond rumbles.

"And who is that?" Law inquires.

"She goes by Black Flame, you may also know her as Shadow." Doflamingo rumbles. Law shifts, yeah he knew her, but what did this creep want with her?

"Sorry, I don't know where she is," Law replies. Doflamingo frowns with a sigh.

"Then I guess we have no choice but to search the city for her," He muses. With that, he left, but Law had no idea what he meant to do, not until it was too late...

#Flashback End#

"He and his men destroyed my home town! Burnt it to the ground, looking for one person that caught his eye... He never found her though... Instead, I believe he found you," Law finishes. You blink, feeling a chill, but before you can respond, a body falls from the sky and hits the ground close by with a thud. You both look over and pale in horror.

"KID!!" You gasp, running over and hitting your knees beside him. He coughs up blood, covered in cuts. "Oh my god! Wh-who did this to you!?"

"I had to punish him, he was making a mess of my school," A voice that made the warmth drain from your body sounds behind you. You slowly look back to see he had Law by the throat, holding him off the ground with ease.

"Doflamingo!" You gasp.

"____, I thought I asked you to get him under control," He sighs, giving Law's neck a slight squeeze. Law gasps for air and suddenly teleports beside you as the others come over to aid you.

"___, you have to get out of here." Law rasps, trying to regain his voice. You glance back at Kid to meet his dark gaze.

"Run," He sputters. You shake your head, eyes filling with tears.

"No... He's gonna hurt you guys," You argue shakily, you were terrified, but you weren't going to leave them and run like a coward.

"That's right ___, I will hurt them unless you come back with me," Doflamingo tells you.

"Don't listen to him ___!" Law says.

"Why should she listen to you? After all, didn't you kidnap and torture all of those students with your powers? You even kidnapped and tortured Mr. Eustass over there... If it were me, I wouldn't listen to such a crazy guy myself," Doflamingo rumbles, making Law flinch. You look at Law in slight horror. His silver orbs try to stay focused on Doflamingo, teeth grit.

"Law?"
