Keeping Him Prideful (An Add x Reader Story)

And we're back. Will Elsword make it to the El Search Party without getting caught by Add or (y/n)? Let's find out.
____________________________________

        Add found that (y/n) was quite amusing when tracking someone down. He'd never actually seen her do it since they never had a reason. He was truly impressed as he followed her. (Y/n) darted through the forest and would stop every now and then to examine a certain area. They would change direction based on what she saw. She was a true tracker without the need for picking up scent. Elsword had made a break for Altera, so he was left out in the open when they finally saw him.

        "I don't see the El Search Party yet," Add said when they were at the edge of the forest.

        "If they are here, they wouldn't want to be seen. We should continue to chase him, but be careful about any possible attacks," (y/n) replied. She was almost a different person when she was on the hunt and Add liked this new side of her.

        "Alright. Lead the way then. Don't get too carried away." Add didn't mind her authoritative demeanor at all.

        "Don't worry. I have to make it look real. No one said it had to actually be real," (y/n) responded. Then she was off. Add watched her for a moment before going after her.

        Even without her dynamas, she was pretty amazing. Add didn't want to tell her but her dynamas were supposed to be right outside the lab. When they weren't there, Add did his best not to panic, knowing that someone had been there. If it was who Add thought it was, they would have to leave Altera immediately and investigative Altera Core some other time.

        Just before (y/n) reached Elsword, an arrow came zooming at her. She avoided it completely while summoning a dagger from one of her tattoos. Add had suggested she upgrade from the pocket knife she'd used last time. (Y/n) had also summoned a satchel that held her nasod based smoke bombs. They were the same kind that she had used when they'd first met. Add got his dynamos ready for attack as the El Search Party came from the outskirts of Altera.

        Elsword just kept running towards them. He stopped as soon as he got close to Elesis. She'd held her sword up to his throat causing him to freeze and some of the El Search Party members gave Elesis a questioning look. Add and (y/n) did not hesitate to continue going after Elsword. If they even seemed as though they were faking their chase, Elesis might just end Elsword's life or take him captive as a traitor. As much as Add hated to admit it, he did actually care whether Elsword lived or not.

        They were now close enough to hear Elesis' words. "What are you doing? I thought you'd switched sides," Elesis spat.

        "Why would I do that? I never wanted to be kidnapped, remember," Elsword managed to say.

        "You were trying to save (y/n). You went with them and helped them retreat," Elesis said.

        "I had no choice. They'd have killed me if I hadn't," Elsword said. He pointed at the nanite device on his neck which Elesis just then noticed. She lowered her sword immediately.

        "So Ciel and Raven were right," she said with a hint of relief as she stepped forward and hugged Elsword. Add and (y/n) came to a stop within a pretty decent distance of the El Search Party. Elesis noticed them and let Elsword go. "You two. What have you done to him?!" she demanded as she let Elsword go. It was (y/n) that answered her.

        "Nothing really. All I did was implant a bomb in his neck. It won't explode literally although it will most certainly fry his insides," (y/n) said. Elesis' eyes widened in shock. "Don't worry though. I have no intention in killing him...yet." Add was impressed with how easily she was able to act so coldly when she really wasn't. It almost startled him actually.
