You hugged your knees, wishing for some kind of contact. A lot of friends and others you knew had disappeared under mysterious circumstances. You didn't know why or what it meant, but you figured that you were the commonality. And that just made you feel like you were cursed...

Tears brimmed in your eyes and you whimpered, laying back in your bed, wishing that you could just hide from the rest of the world. What if something happened to Ava? Or Asch and Noi and Leif and Pierce? Or Rhys, your boyfriend who you swore you loved more than anything? If anything happened to them, you didn't know what you'd do with yourself! Life would be a hell of a lot harder without them.

Your vision blurred at the hands of your tears and you pulled a pillow to cover your face with, hoping to muffle your sobs. You just wanted you friends back! You wanted Ava in the boys to go somewhere safe and you wanted things to go back to normal. The creek of your door seemed to echo through your room and you tried to silence yourself.

"(Y/n)?" A familiar voice asked you. "Are you alright, love?"

You tried to speak, but your words died in your throat, replaced by only a meek whimper. You heard your boyfriend's footsteps approaching you and felt part of the bed dip down when he sat beside you. His hands gently rested on your thigh and that was enough to make you sit up, throw you pillow to the side, and completely cave into him. Rhys gently stroked your head as you cried into his chest.

Rhys hushed you, cupping your cheek and lifting you head to look into your sad, (e/c) eyes. "Angel... what's wrong?"

"E-Everyone is gone!" You choked. "I-I don't know why, I-"

"What do you mean?" Rhys asked. "Who's gone?"

You looked up at him and your pained gaze my his heart shatter. "Everyone I care about is just... disappearing... I-I don't know what to do anymore, Rhys..." You buried your face in his chest again. "A-And I feel like I'm cursed... I-I don't want anything like that to happen to you or the others!"

Rhys held you tighter, rubbing circles on your back. "You're not cursed, darling..." He whispered. "Everything is going to be okay... Just calm down..." He hadn't realized that his actions would affect you so much.

You looked up at him, smiling softly and letting him thumb your tears away. "Th-Thank you, snowflake..." You said, quietly. "I'm s-so lucky to have you..."

The Daemos began to feel an overwhelming guilt build in his chest. The other people you cared for that Rhys wanted to hate flashed in his mind. He recalled vivid images of their bodies, scarred or frozen in ice, things that he had done because he wanted all of your attention. He heard their screams, their pleads for mercy in his head, louder than anything you were saying in the moment. He remembered knocking them out and returning them to the palace's secret dungeon to be tortured, some even killed. He was never the type to act so irrationally, especially not when it came to his feelings. Why was it happening now? ...He knew better than to ask stupid questions like that. He knew damn well that you were the reason that he took out the people who got close to you; It was always you and his jealousy. But now he couldn't bring them back, they would recognize him. They'd push you away from him... Perhaps more mind-breaking tactic were in ord-

"Rhys?" Your voice rang out, interrupting his thought. He looked down at you and smiled softly at the look of your sweet, soft eyes gazing up at him. "Are you okay?"

He lifted your head, pressing a sweet kiss your lips. "Yes, my love..." He replied, cradling your smaller body in his arms. "I'm just fine..."
