There w a s some part tucked back that was still Vivian… a part that made this body’s stomach twist at those words. But, the creature in control, now, beat that feeling back as quickly as it arose and shoved the last trace of the girl’s consciousness further from the surface. And there came a smile. A s m i l e, that curled her lips higher. “ Okay, obviously I’m in. “ ‘Not like I have a choice in that. ‘ “ What are you thinking?Death?Torture? Or are we gonna go bigger with this? “
“Much bigger. I want them to let their guard down – to believe that I am someone who wants to help.” Truth be told, he could have said more, but he wasn’t going to put forth too much of his plan at once. That way, he could change it as he needed to, and still get the same end result. “It will take some time – maybe even a long while, and when the time comes? Well, i’m sure you’ll do your part.”
“ I could. But, I won’t. Because you don’t know what you’re asking… “
“Don’t I now?” He asked, smirk spreading across his lips. “I know exactly what i’m instructing you to do an’ if you don’t?” His hands interlaced together. “I believe i’ll have to find someone else.”
“ ——- Okay, I don’t want t’ murder me dad. Though, if we’re being brutally honest, I’ve had nice daydreams ‘bout him tripping down th’ stairs before… “ A quirk of her brow. “ Ye don’t sound like th’ festive sort, no. “
“i stay in during any holiday – do you even know how hard it is to avoid people around christmas?” he asked with a snort. “it almost makes me want to go back home, but i wouldn’t get any peace there either.” not really at least.
“nor do i doubt i’d be the last.” then again, ky didn’t even think it mattered. not truly at least. “i was simply stating the obvious.” at least from his point of view.
“ I mean, o b v i o u s l y the odds of a-actually winning are seriously low, but… hey, I th-think I’ve still got a chance at th-the crown?Vivian Rawley, beauty queen! Has a nice ring t-to it, wouldn’t you say?”
“i think you could win.” even more so if ky pulled some strings, but he wasn’t going to get her hopes up. he was a demon after-all and sometimes he actually had to act like one. “even if you don’t? you tried.”
The words burned, but… he had a point. What good WAS she doing here? Making herself sick with stress, holding back her family on hunts… getting holy water and salt rounds, that was all she could really manage wasn’t it? Well, that and losing sleep poring over old tomes for research. All in all, not a whole lot of help to the others out in the field. “ You’re right… y-you’re right. I don’t know why I k-keep going like this. —— You’re r-right. “
“i’m ALWAYS right.” a lie, he wasn’t, but he wanted her to be safe. maybe not safe completely, but enough so maybe she WOULDN’T be in the crossfire when something big happened. “just like i know something is coming an’ you should stay out of it, viv.”
Send ‘I don’t feel so good’ for my muse’s reaction to yours suddenly fading away in front of them. Send ‘What’s happening?!’ For the reverse.
this couldn’t be happening. no, this wouldn’t be happening – not if he had a chance to stop it. truth be told, he wanted to save her. the only problem was he couldn’t. it was too late – even as she slipped through his fingers… he couldn’t save her. couldn’t save the one human he cared about. “fuck.”
“ Message heard, loud and clear… “ Was that fear in ‘Vivian’s’voice? At the very least, finally, a note of actual respect. A step was taken back. Another. “ Nothing happens to the suit. Or the damn girl. They’ll be good as new when I drop them back off, fine. —— Speaking of, if you want them to stay shiny, tell me you have DO a plan for her folks? They’ll be PISSED when they find out… and I don’t think they’ll beas concerned about leaving a mark as they will be with getting me OUT.“
of course he had plans – one plan rather. viv may have still been in there, but he hoped she wasn’t seeing any of this. or.. maybe she wouldn’t remember by the time she finally was allowed her body back. either way, ky was going to make sure they were not a problem – one way or three others. “oh, i have a plan in mind for them, and you’re going to help me.” he wasn’t just going to slaughter them. no, that would have been far too easy, instead, he was going to do something far worse… much worse.
