See you differently [Red Velvet Cookie x Reader]

Warning/s: Small chapter

°°°°°

Night had fallen, and it was to be assumed everyone was asleep by now. Everyone but you 4.

During the daytime, you guys each packed 1 bag full, minus Bundt, being careful to hide them whenever someone would drop by with food or more toys. The sugar horse would carry Custards and Pancakes bag, Along with Custard and Bundt. Pancake swore up and down that he'd walk the entire way, just like you had to.

It was planned out as well as it could be, youd grab some food on the way out, and head as far from the kingdom as possible, taking a break. As soon as it was bright enough outside, you would continue. If this worked, they wouldnt know you all were gone until it was too late.

You made sure to grab an extra blanket and wrap it around Custard, who didnt seem to be doing so well. That would change.

Once the clock hit 2 am, you grabbed the 2 bags, having Pancake carry his own. You held Custard, and Pancake held Bundt. As you were headed out, you paused, before turning around and going back into the room. You grabbed the sword Red Velvet shoved in your hand and brought it along. You met back up with Pancake, who was shoving as much food as he could into his bag. Mostly random fruits and left overs. Then you both ran to the front gate.

Outside, knight cookie was sitting in a chair, fast asleep. He should have been guarding but, no one else was awake to check and make sure he was. You waved your hand infront of his face to double check, before motioning for pancake to go on.

You ran back around to the stables, when you saw your sugar horse. Small but strong, you couldnt take the other horses. Custard needed some help getting on but once he was set on, he seemed to lean on the horse for support. You help Bundt up, and attached the bags to the horse. It neighed loudly, like it was questioning you, so you pet its nose to calm it down.

You then grabbed the lead and snuck out of the stables, pancake trying to keep up. Placing your feet as carefully as possible to make almost no sound, your sugar horse seemed to copy. You 5 snuck through the small town as quickly as you could, and reached the outer gate.

This was it, no turning back, you either come back alive and well or in a casket.

"My feet hurttt" Pancake groaned, it had only been a few hours, if you had to guess, it was around 5:30 Am. The sky had a swirl of light, but there was still no sun.

"You said youd be able to walk the whole way there" you teased him. He then just sat down on the ground.

"Well if you are gunna be mean then Ill just sit here" he crossed his arms and moved his head away, in a show of anger.

You sighed, you had already taken a break. "You feel like holding on to Bundt so he doesnt fall off?" You ask him, already knowing the answer.

"Does that mean I can sit on the horse?" He looked back at you, no longer angry.

You smile and nod, and he jumps up and runs over to get on the horse. With a little help from you he got on, it was a tight squeeze but, they all fit.

"Stop moving so much, that hurts.." Custard winced and looked at pancake, who was bubbling with happiness. He quickly stopped moving around, only moving his arm to grab onto the horse and Bundt.

The horse started up again, walking a slow pace beside you. You werent going to show it but your legs hurt, and you were tired. It felt much colder than it should have been now, the chill was sent straight through your body.

It had been a while of walking, and while you still hadnt memorized the geography of the area, you had a general idea of where you were, and it was very far from the castle.

You didnt know it, but about a mile ahead was the one thing that caused this whole situation in the first place, and bundt seemed to notice. After a few minutes of walking, you heard him squeak.

Pancake pet him once, so he wouldnt squeak, but then he did again. You glanced back at him, doing a scan of him physically. There was nothing wrong, you kept walking foward.

So he started squeaking and flapping his arms up and down to get your attention. You stopped the horse, "Whats wrong Bundt?" He rapidly squeaked while pointing infront of you. You had zero clue what he said, the cake squeak wasnt something you were fluent in yet.

He jumped off the horse, wobbling a little when he hit the ground, and ran foward. You dropped the lead so the horse would not follow you, and ran after bundt.

"Hey! Where are you going? I wanna goo!" Pancake yelled fussing with saddle on the horse, earning a glare from Custard.

"Stay right there, Ill be right back!" You yelled back, turning to keep up with Bundt.

You guys stopped behind some greenery, and looked ahead.

You saw it, the large tower that casted a shadow over the area, and seemed to haunt your memories. It was still as tall and scary as ever. You werent entirely sure how Bundt remembered this place, when he was only here for a few hours. Unless...

Both you and Bundt looked at eachother and had the same idea. You both ran foward, listening as closely as you could. The usual groaning and turning of gears and the creaking of the oven was loud enough to hear, but you couldn't tell if...

"Rise my children! You are all so strong and brave, you will make a great addition to the army!" A voice bellowed out in to the open. You knew that voice.

Once you reached the entrance you ran in and saw him, Red Velvet, standing over many baby cakes, cake hounds, and cake hogs (hogs?). Around the place was more grown up cakes, seemingly helping to care for the younger cakes. He was smiling, proud of all his little cakes.

Bunt ran up first and started squeaking at him, overjoyed to see him.

He was suprised to see him here, and started, "Bundt?!? What are you doing here-" he glanced up and saw you.

There you were in all your half dead glory, with a bag on your back and a valorous look, "Guess whos back." You said with a smirk.

"So hows your morning?" Milk cookie approched the tired and miserable Madeleine cookie. He had just returned from the Milk Village, and Milk cookie was happy to greet him.

"Wheres Y/n?" He grumbled, tossing his stuff aside, being careful to not re-injure the wounds the Milk villagers helped to cover. Milk cookie shrugged, "Probably still in their room, they dont really leave often" He skipped over to the hallway, towards the middle door, the room you were staying in.

It WAS awfully quiet, but maybe the kids had decided to sleep in.

Milk cookie knocked and waited for a response. He cocked his head to the side, and knocked again, still silence.

"Im coming in!" He shouts to alert you, before opening the door. He looks around for a moment.

"Oh, ha! They werent in there." He laughs to himself and skips back over to Madeleine.

"Y/n cookie has left" he smiled brightly, before it clicked in his head. Then his face looked horrified.

"They left?! I need to tell knight cookie" he yells to Madeleine as he runs to the front of the castle. Madeleine watched as the weird cookie ran off, before huffing. He shouldnt have been suprised that you were gone. If anything, he thought it would have happened sooner. He slowly walked to were Milk and Knight cookie were, before odering them to gather a small search team for you.

"They are going to die out there, and they are putting the king in danger. That is reckless" he complained to himself, and yet, he had some respect for your bravery, all of you guys.

Maybe it was partly his fault for being so harsh, but also, if he had taken you with him, you would have been recaptured.

'Ugh, damn Y/n, stubborn as always'
