3rd Person POV

Hunter woke up in a dark room. For a moment, he was confused. Was he back at the Emperor's Coven? Was this the room where they'd get rid of him?! He looked around frantically, trying to find any exits. He spotted a window in the corner, covered by a red curtain. This confused him even more. Do they want me to escape? he thought. Wait... What am I even sitting on? Hunter looked down to see a bed with red sheets. "Where am I?" he thought aloud, looking around the room.

"You're in the Owl House!"

Hunter turned towards the voice. It belonged to Eda, the Owl Lady. Panicked and slightly confused, he leapt at Eda, pupils narrowed. She let out a small yelp of surprise and rolled to the side, Hunter barely missing her. "Why did you trap me here?!" he shouted, reaching for her again. Something heavy bowled into his side, pinning him to the ground.

"Luz!" his attacker shouted. "He's attacking Eda!"

Hunter stiffened at the voice, looking up to see Amity Blight. "You! Why do you always have to ruin my life?!" he yelled, kicking Amity off with a grunt. She shot him a glare, running over to the Owl Lady. "Is everyone trying to get me killed?!" Hunter muttered, looking around for any kind of weapon. Luckily, there was a small carving knife in the corner. Hunter thought about why it was there, but quickly shoved the thought aside. This is a battle, not a study session. he firmly reminded himself. He leaped over and grabbed the small weapon. As his kidnappers closed in on him, he swung it around frantically. "STAY BACK!" he screamed, backing up until he was in a corner. "I WON'T LET YOU RUIN THIS FOR ME! I WON'T LET MYSELF GET REPLACED!"

He shut his eyes, expecting them to attack him, but the weight of another person never landed on top of him. Huh..? he thought, confused. He opened his eyes to see them standing still, the Owl Lady smiling at him while the Blight girl stood back and left the room.

"As I was trying to tell you before," Eda said gently. "This is the Owl House, and we want to help you escape the Emperor's grasp!" Hunter blinked at her, dumbfounded. "You want to help... Me?" he asked, lowering the knife. "Well, we used a scrying potion to look into the Emperor's Castle since we noticed that you were never out on missions anymore. We saw what the Emperor... Threatened you with, and we formulated a plan to help you."

Hunter couldn't believe it. The Owl Lady, helping him of all people, the Emperor's right-hand man? Preposterous! They must have some other motive!

"You're lying! What's your real plan?" he asked, raising the knife again. "You gonna feed me to the Selkidomus?"

Eda blinked at him, then started laughing. "No, silly. Plus, the Selkidomus doesn't eat meat anyways..." she said, wiping a tear from her eye. "T-Then what's your motive! I know you wouldn't help me for free!" Hunter said, getting more confused by the second. "Kid, we've told you our motive. Our motive was to free you!" she said, walking closer to Hunter. She pushed the knife downwards and leaned down to his height.

"Belos is a cruel man. Heck, he's even worse then we thought he was! He hurt you, and he hurts most of the coven officials. The only reason we got you out first is because you're only a kid. A kid who doesn't deserve what Belos is doing to you. So, will you trust me and let me help you?"

Hunter blinked, thinking over all the suffering Belos had put him through. The missions, the abuse, the manipulation, all of it. His eyes teared up slightly, but he blinked them back. "I-I don't trust you completely yet, but I'm also not stupid..." he looked up at Eda, smiling slightly. "B-But I'll stay with you... Anything to get away from uncle..."

Eda smiled, pulling him into a hug. A... Hug? I haven't been hugged since I was little. When uncle actually cared for me... Hunter burst into a fit of sobs, hugging Eda. He was going to be safe hear. He trusted them.

So that's over. I'm trying to keep Hunter's canon personality, but this still needs to be angsty so he'll cry or have mental breakdowns a lot.
