You immediately recognized one of Dio's new hangouts. Wang Chan was standing on the first step, his arms crossed behind his back. He motioned for you to come. He waited for you to walk past him to finally speak.
"Last door at the end of the hall."
You exchanged a brief look at the Asian man. He had a strange smirk beneath his thin, long mustache.

You walked down the dark, cold hallway. Your skin began to shiver under the draft. But what struck you the most was the horrible unknown smell that entered your nostrils. It smelled like raw meat but with an even stronger smell. You pinched your nose but let it go and preferred to force your sense of smell to get used to the foul smell. But your period didn't make it easy, throwing up was almost a habit every month.
You heard a noise behind the large door to Dio's room. You stood motionless for a few moments, hesitating, but Wang Chan finally knocked on the door for you.

"Lord Dio. I am bringing you a delicious present." He said while waiting for permission to enter.
"Did you forget my name, jerk?"
He ignored you and continued his monologue.
"Let me advise you to tie them up so as not to damage your gift."
"The fuck is your problem I'm not a f-" You were cut off by screams and the sound of chains. "What was that?!"
You looked at the man bite his fingers. His eyes were round and shiny like marbles.

Suddenly he threw himself against the door. "OH LORD DIO PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME AND TIE ME UP! IT'S TOO HARD TO CONTAIN ME! SHE SMELLS DIVINE! I BEG YOU! DON'T LET ME SUFFER! THE TEMPTATION IS TOO STRONG!" He cried out.
You were totally confused and walked away from him.
The doors opened calmly. You didn't wait another second and ran into the dark room. You saw a tall figure that you would recognize from miles and jumped on his back to hug him.
You touched his hand with your fingertips. He was cold. Very cold. You stayed like that for long minutes. And then you finally realized.
You had the proof in front of your eyes.
His cold skin made you come back to harsh reality. He's not human like you anymore. A link so obvious was shattered into a thousand pieces. You didn't recognize him. You didn't recognize his smell nor this skin, it seemed so strange to you that you wanted to leave this room at full speed.
But it was too late. You had already thrown yourself into the mouth of the bloodthirsty vampire.

"That sweet flower smell...
... reminds me of my soul mate."

Just by his sentence, you were a little more soothed knowing that he hadn't forgotten you. He wanted to turn around. But you were still afraid. So he detached himself from your hug by forcing a little more. You let him go, lowering your head.
You stared at the checkerboard on the ground. You wanted to see him. You were fighting to look up but you couldn't do it. It was as if your neck was blocked, stiffened by fear and anguish.
He didn't say a word anymore. Which made matters worse. You no longer even feel the drops of sweat trickling down your spine. His silence was already terrifying when you argued before. But now, it was even worse. You could feel his power just by hearing his breathe. Your saliva collected in the back of your throat, unable to move your muscles.
You saw his long finger come closer to your face, which he lifted gently. Forcing your eyes to move up his strong body to finally land on his face.

You were surprised to see that he didn't lose his perfect face. Far from it. His charisma increased tenfold to the point of feeling a satisfying knock in your stomach. His eyes were neither red nor swollen, his two amber stones were intact and still raging sensually. Although his golden hair was wildly messy, it was still attractive. But it was all physical. What about his brain? His heart? His feelings?
He smiled fully when he saw your face blush and your thighs tighten, showing his sharp teeth resting on his lower lip.

"The effect is immediate." He said letting a pure iron smell escape from his mouth. Luckily you weren't unable to move even a muscle because you would probably have vomited your guts.
He moved away and settled into a bed.
"I would like so much to taste this lip again to remind me of the good old times but as you already know, I just had my dinner."

He grabbed an ax which served as a decoration.
"See? I still respect your flaws Y/N... as well as the promises."
Suddenly an alarm rang in your head when you heard that word. The promises. You both bet big. It allows you to take back control of your body and your mind.
You remembered then the details he never wanted to give you about this.
"Wh-what... was it?" you spoke haltingly.

"A 4 month old infant." He said, licking his lip and stroking the wood of the ax.

"I wasn't talking about that. What were your promises? What are your motivations now? How did you find the powers of the mask? You told me that you would tell me everything once your plan executed. A plan that I didn't even know! So?" You panicked when you realized that once again, you asked way too many questions. But he didn't seem to be that pissed off and stood up, a smirk on his lips. In a second, the ax he was holding in his hands was stuck in the wall behind you. You were paralyzed by his sudden gesture. "Let me explain it to you. But first, I want to be sure that you are fully aware of the situation." Dio said, approaching without taking his eyes off you. He put his hand over your shoulder and pulled out the ax with the other. "Y/N. Do you trust me?" he asked.
You didn't know what to answer or even if you had to, since you were in shock.
Anyway, he didn't seem to expect more from you.
"If you trust me Y/N, tear me apart." He took your hand and put the ax there. "DO IT! YOU WILL SEE WHY I DID ALL OF THIS!" He shouted, aggressively shaking your shoulders. You looked at him confused and shook your head. "What?? Dio I.. I can't! I didn't come for-"

He took the ax from your hands and without hesitation, cut off his left arm. A weird liquid squirted all over you.

After a few minutes, you saw filaments reattach and his arm magically reborn. He was all smiles watching your dumbfounded reaction.
"Mh? What do you think?" He asked.

You watched the process end with your mouth and eyes wide open.
"I can see intrigue and wonder in your eyes. You don't feel any disgust towards me... You're even still here after what you just saw... That's what I like about you Y/N. You don't let yourself be manipulated by these dog shit-like beings. You've always had this gift of making the right decisions." He lowered his sleeve and ordered his zombie guard to clean up all the mess. Then he held out his hand to you.
"I have a lot to tell you. Including good news. Follow me."
You didn't dare refuse because it was obvious he wasn't going to accept it. Anyway, you were not in a strong position... So you followed him into another room. Spacious with a king size bed. But he opened the large window and decided to take you to the balcony.
