abandoned It came from the Darkness [Vergil x NyxAvatar69]

[lVergill]

I felt a bit guilty for lie to my now girlfriend since I didn’t want to trouble her now and I will tell her this later so the memories of our mistake wouldn’t be too heavy on her. We walk together hand on hand as we made it out to the open world of reality and the cold breeze welcoming us back to realized we live from that tragic horror. I glance at my Saffy as we walk and I could easily see a warm smile on her face. It made me happily knowing she does enjoy this decision and I embrace her soft hand with mine to feel more of her. As we walk, Saffy suddenly bring the subject of our death and confused knowing we could die if Mr. Seers didn’t intervene with time.

”I know what you mean Saffy and I am glad too since, this time, I have you as my girlfriend. I finally told you my feelings and whatever happen, I will always love you and protect you.” I softly explain.

We both stars at each other eyes as I felt this instincts telling me this was the moment to kiss her and we stop for a few as I lean over slowly to her lips. The anticipation kick as our lips became closer and closer if our lip itself became magnet. I kiss Saffy, I felt her moist lips press against mine and see some of her saliva sipping through the kiss which made me taste her for the first time.

[NyxAvatar69]

Saffron blushed a lot at first, clearly a bit embarrassed since it was her first kiss, but after a few moments, she let herself enjoy the moment.  After all, she had no idea if it would be the last time she would have the chance.  The negative feeling in the back of her mind tugged at her again, but she tried to push it away.

(Sorry if this post is short.  I couldn't think of something to write...and it's almost 10 AM because I was working on nuzlocke and another short writing project that I hope to post by the end of the week)

[lVergill]

My eyes open to see Saffy struggling a bit with my sudden kiss but soon relax herself and taking my lead as we share this loving moment together. I separate for a bit to let our tongue twirl and hug outside while cling to each other to return back to our lips so we can resume the passionate kiss. I was shock to see her doing something like this but our love after experiencing that hardship really did push us to be confident with our true feeling so I was happy and I had to separate from her our hungry lips. I trail of saliva bind us as if tempting to continue but I resist and smile at her while tightening my grasp of her ever soft hand.

”I am sorry for not asking your permission for a kiss but I just wanted to give you my first kiss and telling you that you shouldn’t worry from that. We will do this together you can count on me and I won’t die so easily since....” I pause and smile, “I have you as my girlfriend which is silly since that’s what kept me going and hiding such strong feeling until our death which made me realized this.” I happily explain.

(It’s fine Nyx, take all the time you need since I want to see more of that and you can EcchiText me for anything troubling you.)

[NyxAvatar69]

"No, it's fine..." Saffron said, her face turning red while she looked away from Vergil.  "It's just...it was my first time." Saffron quietly added.  She smiled a bit to herself, but stopped walking when she felt like someone was watching her.  She looked up, knowing she was walking down the path to her house when she saw a moving truck at the house next to hers.  While a couple of movers were taking stuff out of a truck and bringing it inside, there was a boy wearing a black blindfold standing in the yard, looking in the direction of Saffron and Vergil.  Even though his eyes were covered, Saffron could feel the strange boy's eyes peering into her soul.  Saffron felt a bit worried, subconsciously moving closer to Vergil.  When she did, the boy shook his head a bit and turned away, talking to the movers.

[lVergill]

I blush as Saffron admit that it was her first time and to add to the touch of a loving couple, it was my first time too.

”Well, you are my first time as well.” I smile.

As we walk together happily at our decisions, Saffy suddenly stop to look ahead and making me follow her gaze to a boy guiding mover to fill the house next to her with their belongings. It seems someone has finally bought that house and I see a blindfolded boy which was odd but it was more odd to see him directly looking at us. My eyes widen for a bit but narrow as soon as I realize this guy was something else and he quickly resume doing his own business.

”He can see with that thing in his eyes? Or maybe it was just pure luck...” I mutters, but shook my head, “It doesn’t matter, Saffy, are you going to be alright by yourself?” I ask.

I was a bit worry since the Nighmare incident is lurking behind my head and her death made me really worry about her safety above all else in my life.

[NyxAvatar69]

"I'll be alright.  If something happens or another one of those monsters show up, I can just call you." Saffron replied.  The neighborhood Saffron lived in was normally pretty quiet, and since few cars drove down the road, Saffron crossed the street without really bothering to look beforehand if any vehicles were coming.

[lVergill]

"Okay, please do and take care of yourself until then." I answer.

I gave her a soft kiss on her nose as she left my side and crossing the lonesome street to arrive at the safety of her home while I began to walk down my own path toward my house. Luckily, my place wasn't too far from Saffy's place as it only takes a five-minute walk which we always walk together to school and making rumors about us being lover which was false at first but not anymore. I smile as they were right about me falling in love my best friend but that smile left me as I have to get stronger and improve this "gift" Mr. Seers gave us. I glance at the trash can far away from me as I walk to narrow my eyes and use this power to train and perfect to its limitation. I pant while the trashcan rustle at my psychokinesis power shaking on my will and stop immediately as my spark wasn't there anymore. 

"Is no used, I don't feel that anger and that sensation of being in danger anymore. I need to practice this at home so I can use it effectively." I mutter.

[NyxAvatar69]

Saffron smiled a bit as she watched Vergil leave, but the entire time, she could feel someone's eyes on her.  When she turned towards her new neighbor's yard, the strange boy was looking at her again.  Saffron felt a chill run down her spine as the boy looked at her, but she tried to ignore it and walked towards her house.  As she walked inside and made her way to her room, she considered all of the things that had happened, from her experience with death to fighting off the Nightmare and getting powers, but the one thing that couldn't escape her mind was her kiss with Vergil.  She smiled a bit to herself, but that was gone as soon as she looked through her bag and realized something was missing.  "My script..." Saffron said to herself, remembering that she had dropped her script and never remembered to pick it up and bring it with her.

Back at the school, a single police vehicle was parked near the front entrance.  The driver's side door opened and a lone woman stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses.  As she started walking towards the school, a run of the mill officer got out of the passenger's seat and followed her.  "Miss, are you sure we should even be bothering with this?  The report said that it was some kind of weird monster.  Can you honestly believe such a prank?" the officer asked while the two headed inside.  The woman didn't respond at all to the officer's complaints as the two made their way up to the third floor.  There was a faint oppressive air all around the third floor, but the officer couldn't feel it.  The woman took off her sunglasses and smiled a bit.  "There was one of them here.  Either E or D Class.  Somebody managed to destroy it first.  Must've been a couple of newbie Nightmare Slayers." the woman said as she walked towards where the Nightmare first appeared to find a tiny red stone on the floor.  With a smile, she picked up the stone and put it in her pocket.  "Miss, I found this on the floor on our way here." the officer said, holding up several pieces of paper that looked a lot like a script.  "Hand it over." the woman replied, taking the papers from the man.  She skimmed through them, flashing a smile when she found a name written on the final page.  "Saffron.  Interesting." the woman said before turning to the officer.  "You, I want you to gather any information on this "Saffron" girl and anyone who may be associated with her.  I expect to see results tomorrow morning." the woman commanded.  "Y-yes, ma'am!" the officer answered.

[lVergill]

I arrive at my home to immediately enter my room as I lay down on my bed since I was really exhausted from using that power and really taking a great toll on my mind as a headache began regularly. I scratch my head as I didn't quite understand the situation about the Nightmare and feeling something big approaching us which does worry me quite a bit. Tomorrow will be a long day for me since I need to gather more intel about this stuff going on with Mr. Seers and hopefully, train with Saffy at using our power in case those things cause another uproar anywhere. Fatigue began to overwhelm my body and mind as my eyelids began to feel heavy for my mind to handle which I let it fall down to make my body relax.

"Hopefully...tomorrow will be an easier day than today.." I mutter.

The next morning, I awoke to the sound of my alarm which I quickly snooze out and barely realize that today start our summer vacation. It felt quite odd knowing that and completely forgotten about since I experience death once. I look at my hands for a while with my sleepy eyes until a thin smile began to form at my realization and quickly burst out from my room with excitement. Any fatigue or bad feelings were gone since I have all of my free time and I could use this free time to be with Saffy while also figure out any possible subject relating to this weird matter. My destination was simple, Saffy's house was my goal and I began to walk toward her house to greet her while I plan to discuss with her about this trivial things. 

[NyxAvatar69]

"Why does it have to be me?" sitting in a sedan across the street from Saffron's house was the officer who had looked into the Nightmare incident at the school.  He let out a yawn while he reached for his coffee, having spent the entire night getting as much information on Saffron and anyone who associated with her as he could.  'Of all people, why does it have to be me?  I spent five years on the force, and now I'm stuck being some weird woman's errand boy because she's our only specialist on these supernatural murders.  Even what she said the day we met two years ago...I can never forget that look on her face.  "This agreement will benefit us both," she says.  Why and how does she know about these "Nightmares?"  What's up with the stones their voids leave behind when they come into our world?  It's too much to understand!  I just want to escape this madness and live a normal life!' the man thought to himself while he took a long swig of his coffee.  He let out a sigh as he put his cup back on the cup holder and picked up a paper on the passenger's seat.  "Apparently, this girl has a close friend she tends to meet and spend time with outside of school.  I guess...I just wait and keep an eye on them until I get further orders." the man continued.  He shook his head and let out another sigh.  "I hate my life." he mumbled.

Saffron had woken up fairly early, having spent most of the evening doing her overload of math homework and getting nearly no time to practice with her powers.  Her parents had left early for work, so she had gotten breakfast started for herself and Vergil when he showed up.  Since she was busy in the kitchen, she was unaware of the man sitting in his car outside.

[lVergill]

It took me a while to reach Saffy’s house as I noticed a strange unknown car from her family park across the street and strangely the only one at that street. I felt a bit nervous ever since that Nighmare incident happen since I began to doubts other people’s motive and only caring about Saffy’s safety. I shook my head as I thought that it was all in my head and quickly open the door to Saffy’s house as I have a key trusted by Saffy. I didn’t felt safe so I keep the door lock still and went to the kitchen to smell something good cooking which I knew it was Saffy. I enter the kitchen to see my girlfriend cooking and making my presences know from my footsteps which she noticed. 

“Good morning Saffy.” I smile.

I hug my Saffy from behind while she cook since I could do this to her now and always fantasize of pulling this off as loving couple would to show strong affection toward their partner. 

[NyxAvatar69]

Saffron smiled when she heard Vergil's footsteps and felt his arms around her.  "Good morning, Vergil.  Breakfast will be ready in a little bit." Saffron said, keeping her focus on cooking.  She paused for a few moments, as if she was trying to think of something to talk about, mostly because she had no idea what couples talked about.  "So...you know that strange new neighbor we saw yesterday.  Well, when I woke up this morning...there was something weird about his house." Saffron finally said after taking a moment to think of something to talk about.  Next door, the new neighbor's entire house had been suddenly repainted so that the entire thing, roof, mailbox, and all, was painted white.  "Mom and dad want me to bring over an edible arrangement they bought last night to welcome him to the neighborhood, but...he's a little strange.  I was wondering if you wanted to come along." Saffron added.

[lVergill]

I listen to Saffy’s explanation as I release her from our hug and stand close to her as this sounded a bit serious. That guy was indeed odd when we first encounter him so it is hard to tell whether they have bad intentions or not unless we meet them personally. She mention me wanting to coming which I nod with certainly since I didn’t want Saffy to be alone with that guy and we don’t know about the Nighmare so I need to keep our distance close until we do.

”Of course, you can always count me on more now Saffy. Since you brought your troubles...” I mutter, “Did you have time to practice your power? We need to train on how to wield this power and talk to Mr. Seers about those Nighmare. We need to know what we are up against and preferably, avoid this whole mess behind.” I explain, seriously.

 

[NyxAvatar69]

"Well..." Saffron started to say, turning around to face Vergil.  "I'm sorry, but I didn't have any time to practice last night.  I had to work on my homework.  I know it's important, but...ever since I got back home, I don't feel that power at all anymore.  It's almost like I never had any powers.  Mr. Seers never really told us where to meet, either." Saffron added, but she failed to add in the part where she ended up forgetting her script at school.  She turned back towards the stove and got back to what she was doing while she tried to put the whole incident from the previous day behind her. 

[lVergill]

“You have a point there..” I mutter.

I look down to think about the incident feeling like a dream and perhaps it should be considered one with all of that nonsense happening. Still, I couldn’t get out of my head since it felt so real and the experience was to uncomfortable to even forget them which I try to. I turn to Saffy working with her cooking which me forget that little problem and focus in the present where we must deal with our hunger first.

”Do you want some help, Saffy? I don’t want to stay back and watch you do all the work.” I ask, smiling

[NyxAvatar69]

"Oh, no, I can take care of it.  You just sit down and relax." Saffron replied without looking at Vergil.  She didn't sound like her usual self, the whole thing about her powers suddenly not working was eating away at her a bit.  'What can I really do?  When I made that ball of light yesterday, I didn't even know how I did it, and now I can't even do that.  I don't want Vergil to overdo it trying to protect me, but...I'm useless this way.  I'd just get in his way.' Saffron thought to herself.  While she was lost in her thoughts, she finished making breakfast and brought a plate over for Vergil.  At the time, she was unaware of it, but her negative thoughts led to a very faint distortion showing a sign of opening up somewhere in the backyard.  It wasn't a strong enough distortion to allow a Nightmare to slip through, but it was there.

“Oh...right.” I spoke sadly.

I watch as Saffy became engross with something on her mind as she continued to cook and slowly seat at the table she ask me to. The feeling of sadness made my heart sorrow as I watch her to look rather pale which made me worry about her health and for not giving me the details of her worry. Even so, I waited for Saffy as I remain silent the entire time and finally bribing me my food which was made by her. I didn’t bother with the food at the moment as I hold her hand and look at her  straight in the eyes.

”Saffy, i know you, something is troubling you, isn’t it?” I ask, with a slight anger tone.

The anger was mainly aim at me for not being a good boyfriend and wanted to talk with her above all else right now.

 

[NyxAvatar69]

"Well..." Saffron started to say, looking away from Vergil.  She bit her lip, mostly because she felt that she shouldn't really bother telling Vergil about such a trivial concern she had about herself.  Before she could continue, the phone in the living room began to ring.  Saffron looked towards the noise, then back to Vergil.  "Sorry, I need to go get that." Saffron said, pulling her hand away from Vergil's and walking into the living room to go get the phone.  When she answered, a familiar voice came out, but it sounded like they were talking more to themselves than to her.  "Excellent, excellent.  After several attempts, my newest invention, the Address Finder was a success.  I am such a genius." the man Saffron clearly knew was Mr. Seers said to himself despite being on the phone where Saffron could hear him.  "Um...Mr. Seers?" Saffron asked.  There was a loud noise on the other end, as if Mr. Seers didn't realize he was actually on the phone before he cleared his throat.  "Oh, yes.  Hello, Saffron.  In my haste to get you and Vergil away from the school before the police thought of you as suspicious.  I can only guess the two of you are together right now." Mr. Seers began.  "Yes, he's eating breakfast right now." Saffron replied while she walked into the kitchen.  "Very good.  This will make things easy.  Please put the phone on speaker so he may hear where we will be meeting up." Mr. Seers said.  Saffron nodded and hit a button on the phone before setting it on the table.  "Excellent, excellent.  Now, I hope you are both listening.  The place I wish to meet with the two of you...it is a cafe in the downtown area.  It is likely you remember it.  That small cafe that Saffron has a summer job at before starting high school, where the male customers would make sexual comments about her developing body." Mr. Seers said.  Upon hearing this, Saffron slammed her hands on the table, knocking the phone down in the process.  "H-how do you know about that?" Saffron asked.  "I've done my share of information searching on your backgrounds and pasts using one of my inventions.  Now, please, as soon as you are finished with your breakfast, come, and I will answer any questions you may have.  Goodbye." Mr. Seers replied before hanging up the phone.

[lVergill]

I stare at my girlfriend as she definitely has something on her mind but the sound of her home phone ring which appear at the worse time possible since it caught Saffy attention and turning away from my grasping hand as I cling into her but loosen up. My body leans back with a sigh escaping my mouth as I watch Saffy talking on the phone and narrow my eyes as I listen to her. The tension of body shook as her lips move to the sound of "Mr. Seers" which made my stomach quell at thought of yesterday and began focusing on what he was talking about with Saffy, Suddenly, she came down to the table as she put the phone down while turning on the speakers and hearing his voice once more. Mr. Seers mention about a place for the meet up as I rub my chin at the stuff I have in store for him since I have many unanswered questions that need to be answered and suddenly saying some other stuff which made me grow. 

"What! who say that!?" I snarl. 

I grit my teeth at those people commenting on my girlfriend's body as the stuff around me began to levitate while shaking from my anger dwelling inside of me. My anger was clouding my vision as I stare at the phone which didn't notice the stuff around me levitating from my power and hearing him agreeing to answers some question while hanging up. My heart race as I calm down to hear some stuff hitting the table which startles me and looks around to find nothing of the ordinary. 

"...." 

I remain silent as my hunger quickly left my body as I need to go into the cafe downtown and face the truth about the Nightmare lurking around this world.

[NyxAvatar69]

Saffron took a few steps away from the table when she noticed things around Vergil starting to levitate.  When the things dropped, she turned away from Vergil, clearly a bit afraid.  Deep down, she thought she was partly at fault for not telling Vergil about all the terrible things that male customers had said to her back when she had that summer job.  She didn't know what she should say to Vergil, and even if she said anything, if it would help him calm down and finish his breakfast.  She made her way back towards the kitchen to wash any of the dishes she needed to in hopes that Vergil would take the time to calm down.

[lVergill]

I noticed Saffy leaving in the kitchen so suddenly as I was left alone in the dining room as I felt a bit depressed to see her like that and I didn't understand why she was acting so different now. The thought of us making a mistake with this relationship made me gasp and glare at another direction as I knew this is the right decision and yet, why is Saffy hiding so much from me. My eyes stare down at the food as I lost my appetize since all of this bad mojo is affecting my attitude and stomach as I push it away. 

I sigh, "What are we doing....What should I do..." I mutter, sadly.

[NyxAvatar69]

Once Saffron finished up with the dishes, she made her way up to her room to grab her bag, just in case she would need it before heading back downstairs and back into the dining room.  At first, she paused, a bit unsure of whether or not Vergil was still mad or not and what she would say to him.  "Um...Vergil?  We should really get going." Saffron finally said.  The fear she was feeling was clear by how she went back to her normally shy tone of voice.  She turned away from Vergil and towards the door without saying another word.

[lVergill]

I noticed Saffy leaving me behind which made me feel even more depressed as she never left me like this so I had to keep up with her and quickly follow her out the door as the morning sun welcome us to the real world. My heartache as I remain silent while watching Saffy from behind as we felt more distance than ever and I was hurting knowing she was ignoring me now for some unknown reason. The feeling of complete hopeless began to feel my head as I try my best to keep positive but there was nothing like that here so I follow her lead toward her job and where people treated her different which anger me. 

[NyxAvatar69]

The man sitting in his car was in the middle of drinking his coffee and reading another case file regarding an incident that was likely the work of another Nightmare when he noticed Saffron and Vergil head outside.  'Looks like they're going somewhere.  I better keep an eye on them.' the man thought, starting the car and following from a safe distance.  Saffron didn't look back, mostly just assuming that Vergil was following her.  The thought of how the various objects lifted up due to Vergil's power came back to her mind and she shook a bit.  'If he got mad because of what Mr. Seers said...would he do something like that to me?' Saffron thought to herself.  While part of her wanted to believe that Vergil would never do such a thing, there was a part of her deep down that started to believe that the Vergil she once knew was gone since their original death at the hands of the Nightmare.  As much as she didn't want to believe it, the possibility existed in her head.  After walking in silence for a while, she eventually reached a small cafe that honestly seemed a little out of place for where it was in the city.  Saffron remembered having a summer job there the year she started high school and didn't want to remember all the comments she had gotten from male customers when she worked there.  She made her way inside, knowing it was the place Mr. Seers wanted to meet up.  Since the place was small and Mr. Seers was pretty hard to miss, she found the man sitting alone at a table.  Various clock parts were littered around the table while Mr. Seers was in the middle of fixing an alarm clock.  He was so focused, he failed to see Saffron take a seat in one of the chairs on the opposite side of the table.

[lVergill]

The long walk was silent as we made our way into this Cafe Saffy work and keeping my dwelling anger inside of me for the time being. The sigh of this strange Cafe sticking out like a sore thumb was quite something compare to the feel of the city around it and Saffy approach it while I follow behind. A bell rang smoothly above us as we enter the Cafe while hearing some chatter filling the room with a people people having a nice coffee. Mr. Seers wasn’t that difficult since this Cafe was having a few customers and the only guy having clock in the table. We took our seat together opposite of him and keen on fixing that clock on his hand.

”So, what’s the status about all of this Nighmare and power? It is time for you to give us some answers.” I spoke, seriously.
