Offenderman x female!reader {Book 2}

Prologue

Panic shot through my whole body as I ran through what seemed like an endless void.

My heart was pounding hard in my chest and my lungs were sore and tired due to the lack of oxygen.

I didn't know where I was running. I didn't know what was after me but I felt a terrifying presence, chasing me ruthlessly.

I didn't dare to look behind me. I was too scared. My legs moved on their own, carrying me to my unknown destination.

Horrible screeches and grumbles echoed behind me.

It's close.

Too close.

Too -

Suddenly I lost touch with the ground beneath me and I found myself falling.

Time seemed to slow down as I looked up to see dark red glowing eyes, staring down at me as I fell.

A knot formed in my stomach and I released a short breath as I closed my eyes. In any second I might hit the ground - if there was ground.

A sharp pain tore through my body. I felt dizzy and my head buzzed. Every breath, I took, hurt.

As I was laying on the ice-cold ground, tears started to run down my face.

I tasted blood on my tongue and everything got blurry.

[Y. . . . ./N]. . .

I heard a bone-chilling deep voice growl my name.

[Y. . ./N]. . .

I heard steps echoing, sluggishly making their way in my direction. I started sobbing.

"[Y/N]!"

I heard someone shout my name and I opened my eyes quickly.

I looked into Offenderman's blank face, his voice sounding both worried and slightly terrified.

It took me a while before I was able to take in my surroundings and realized I was in bed with him. He sat me up by grabbing my shoulders gently.

As he met my gaze, he calmed down and pulled me into a hug, running his fingers through my hair: "Darling, are you okay? You are shaking. What happened?"

I took in a shaky breath and wiped my tears off my face with the back of my hand.

"D-Did I wake you? I-I am sorry..", I whispered, my voice shaking a little.

My throat felt completely dry.

I wrapped my arms around Offenderman and buried my face in his chest.

"I heard that you were murmuring in your sleep but suddenly you started crying and twitching weirdly."

I stayed silent and tried to recall my dream. I couldn't.

"Something is happening.", Offenderman suddenly stated. He seemed much tenser now.

I furrowed my brows in confusion and rubbed his back. His skin felt incredibly soft.

"What do you mean?" I pulled away to look up at him.

"Your dream. It was different."

I still just looked at him, obviously confused.

"I couldn't enter your dream. I couldn't read your thoughts. I was completely locked out. I know you don't get affected by my roses but I know for sure that I can enter your dreams. Something locked me out."

"S-something- wh-what?" Offenderman got up and put on his clothes.

"Get dressed, love. We need to go to my brother."

"R-right now?", I asked, still completely stunned from what just happened.
