The Minimalist (yandere!Tears of Themis x reader)

24 hours pt2

Y/n woke up on a new couch. she hadnt been here before. and for a moment, she thought that Luke had gotten to her before Vyn could drag her away. 

"oh, your awake!"

her eyes slowly focused, and met with a pair of deep blue ones. the pillow under her was soft and comfortable. 

"artem?"

her voice was croaky and horse. 

he gave a very small smile and nodded his head. 

"yeah, you almost slipped away from us but its okay. we got you." he said. 

y/ns heart wrenched with fear. her parents, her family. it was all in danger. she needed to get to Luke as soon as possible. 

"why didnt you let me go?" she asked. 

hervoice broke slightly, and it made artem whince a little. he hated seeing the sadness on her face. coupled with her teary eyes and hoarse voice. she sounded horribly heart broken. 

"cause you dont need to." he said gently. 

Y/n sat up, not realizing the 'pillow' she had been laying on was Artems thigh. 

"i do, i need to see them, its the only way they will be safe!"

she got to her feet, feeling an unfamiliar weight in her pocket. 

before her hands could find their way to the object weighing her pants down, artem stood and took them in his own. he stood incredibly close, his eyes full of concern and sadness. 

"please, please just trust us okay?" he asked. 

his hands were warm and comforting, but she couldnt stand the earnest expression in his eyes. she looked away, trying to pull away from him. 

"y/n, we can handle this alright?"

he let go of one of her hands and cupped her cheek. her skin was just as soft as he had imagined it to be. she was so warm aswell, was she getting sick?

"Artem, you cant cheat Luke alright." she said. her eyes averted from his. why wouldnt she look at him? why couldnt she just trust him and smile like she used to?

"its going to be fine i promise." he said. 

"no, no you dont understand Artem." she said. 

her sadness had turned into slight annoyance. how could she be angry with Artem though? she felt bad, terrible even. but she had begged them to leave her with Luke, and they had gone against her wishes for no reason. they know whats at risk. they might as well have killed her parents already!

"Luke doesnt get double crossed, he doesnt get cheated, he doesnt lose a deal or a game. he is a mad man, a crazy, psychotic killer. when he said that no one else could have me he meant it!"

tears prickled Y/ns eyes. she had tried her best to save them, but Artem and VYn and Marius had ruined it! they ruined everything!

if she hadnt met Artem, she wouldnt have been in the court, Luke wouldve never found her, her parents wouldve been safe! 

her anger roared in her chest, her voice raising. 

"he will kill anyone and anything! he killed his own father for fucks sake! you think he wont kill my parents?"

Artems eyes widened as her voice turned into a yell. from the other room, Vyn and Marius stood up, ready to go diffuse the situation before it spun out of control. 

" i couldve saved them and you killed them! you killed them!"

before Vyn and Marius could go inside the room, Y/ns hand raised, and came down across Artems face roughly.
