Cutthroat x Swindler (Akudama Drive)

10

The ringing of sirens brought me back into consciousness. My head was spinning and It seemed I had passed out. A small groan left my lips as I rubbed my temple before pushing myself up off the ground. Another groan left my lips as I felt my leg give in. The ringing was slowly disappearing as I realized the sound was coming from my own head.

A small yawn left my lips and I rubbed my eyes as they readjusted to the dark.  The town had finally quieted down. As my eyes adjusted I realized I was all alone. Cutthroat and all the executioners had disappeared minus the ones lying already dead. I turned away still not able to look at them. As I began to become more aware of my surroundings I immediately put a hand to my nose. The stench of blood and death was all I could smell. It was intense, so bad that I could almost taste the blood in the air.

I glanced around the alley. My eyes were quick to land on a single print of footsteps leading out. Most of the executioners had been executed but there were definitely more that I had seen earlier. That meant there was still a slight chance he might not be alright. My heart skipped a beat from that and panic began to ease its way back inside of me. I limped over to the trail of bloody footsteps and began to follow them. Who knew a week of being stuck with a stranger could make you grow so attached to them.

The footsteps led me out into the street and just like the alleyway it was silent and covered with red. You couldn't even hear a mouse. Everything had completely disappeared at least thats what it sounded like.

The scene itself was brutal. Bodies covering the street some missing heads, some legs, and others arms. It was disgusting to look or even think about yet I couldn't stop but stare for a second. Just this afternoon I had gone out to a busy street with tons of people. It had never been this quiet, not until now of course.

I brought my eyes back to ground focusing on the footsteps. Sure they weren't great to look at but they were better than the bodies all over the place.

After a few more minutes of walking I was brought back to the first place I had met Cutthroat. My eyes laid on the destroyed building. It looked a lot worse than the last time I had seen it. A small shiver ran down my spine and I shook my head.

"It'll be fine... Everything's fine..." I told myself twirling a pink strand of hair.

The footsteps ended here. It was almost like they had completely vanished, but a strange feeling was telling me there was more here.

Taking in a deep breath I took my first step into the building.

It was as quiet as the rest of place. Either way there was still a chance someone could appear. I cautiously made my way down the hallway holding my hand to my chest as I glanced around.

The ringing of an elevator had completely caught me off guard. A small shriek left my lips and I jumped up only to let out a sigh of relief.

A small nervous laugh left my lips as I stared at the elevator.

"Ha...Ha... see just fine..."

I nervously started at it before walking towards it.

"Uh hello?" I called out stepping inside the elevator. I peeked around but there wasn't anyone inside.

A small sigh of relief left my lips as I turned back.

"Well that was-"

Before I could finish my sentence the door in front of me slammed shut. I jumped back in fright before running over towards the buttons.

"H-Hey-Stupid Elevator!"

I began clicking the open button but it was doing absolutely nothing. The elevator was going on its own and the destination had already been chosen.

The elevator had finally stopped and opened up to a new floor. I nervously began to look around before freezing. Something wasn't right here. I had returned back to the room where Cutthroat was first to be executed.

I stepped warily into the room before slowly walking over to the stand. It was in the same exact state from the last time I had saw it.

I backed away from it and turned my attention to something that was different. There was a new hole in the wall. I curiously walked over and when I could finally look out a gasp left my lips. From this point the city could be seen very clearly. My mouth had widened in shock. The whole place was covered in red. There was so much red you couldn't tell which building was what anymore. It sparkled from the moonlight it was a city of red.

"See I told you I'd do something."

I stumbled forward in shock almost falling off the building before a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I was pushed back into something hard and a shaky breath left my lips.

I glanced up above me to see Cutthroat with a soft smile on his face. My heart had started throbbing in my chest. There was blood covering one half of his face slowly dripping down and covering himself more in red.

"Isnt it beautiful? They're finally all gone now!"

My eyes turned back to the city as I stared in awe. The red was so bright it illuminated the whole city.

I felt his hand move up to my arm and his head rest on my shoulder. His soft breath hit my ear and my attention was no longer on the city. I couldn't help but bring all my attention to him. This man had destroyed the whole city just for some promise and strangely I was enjoying the attention. I turned around in his arms and he lifted his head off my shoulder. I was now facing him. Even with him covered in blood he was still quite attractive and him holding me so close was making me nervous.

His smile grew slightly and he brought his hands up to my face. The blood rubbed off of his hands as he held my face. I couldn't help but be captivated by his bright purple eyes.

"No one will ever bug us again my angel..."

No cries no screams nothing could be heard. The night was dark and silent as I stared up at him. I still wasn't positive on what exactly I had gotten myself into but there was no going back to how things once were.

It was only the two of us now and thats how it would stay.
