Luxiem One Shots

Just a call away (FoxAkuma)

SUMMARY: Mysta gets attacked and makes an emergency call.

It's not often that Mysta encounters other supernatural beings, in fact on most occasions they tend to avoid him. The reason behind this farce is the scent that has literally been sprinkled all over him from a certain demon, who resides in his home with him and the rest of his friends from Luxiem. There has only been a couple of cases where a creature dared to touch him, but would quickly be disposed of by Shu. He would keep the attacks a secret from his demon friend, but would fail as the demon could smell the left over residue of the creatures. He would get violently angry, and it would leave Mysta to feel for the lives of anyone brave enough to step up against the demon in any fight.

However he does fear that one day a creature will attack him, and Shu won't be around to help him. His only options then would be to run and hide. He's not necessarily fit, and he hates to exercise so it's a lose lose situation. Little did he know that this day would come sooner than he expected.

It's a regular afternoon, and Mysta is taking care of a few errands for their home. Today he was put in charge of grabbing the necessary ingredients for their dinner for the night. Luckily, the store was in walking distance so there was no need to get a ride from anyone. The others volunteered to go with him, but he rejected their offer as there wasn't much he fully needed to grab. Vox was a bit concerned about his decision, but he was adamant about it. The demon though had made him swear that should he run into any trouble he should let him know, as he did have his number on speed dial. If it was a human or another creature of the dark—it didn't matter so long as he calls him immediately before anything could happen. Mysta had made the promise and left the house. Now he was wondering if there was really any need for it as he had finished shopping with no problems. With a few bags in his hands he makes his way home from the store with no worries and no fear. Normally as a Detective he has to keep his head on straight so that he can do his job, but that doesn't mean that he isn't afraid of things going wrong. He's always afraid, but he knows that the fear could mess up with his work. In most cases he has to swallow that fear.

Today he was relaxed and was just wanting to get back as soon as possible due to the weather. It was a bit humid and bright with some clouds rolling by to cover the light of the sun. He was sure that it was going to rain later, but for now it was just too hot for comfort.

"I should have worn some brighter clothes, but I'm completely decked out in larger and darker shades. I'm sweating...." he says with a whine in his voice.

As he continues walking, he begins to feel a chill crawl up his spine. He never really gets such a sensation unless he's playing a horror game or if someone is watching him. Sometimes he'll even feel it during a case if the target he seeks happens to catch onto him. But this was different. Someone was watching him, and he could tell that it wasn't for anything good. He could attempt to run and avoid this person, but it would give away the fact that he knew. It would only make the person desparate to catch him. But he didn't want to burden his friends either with a sudden stalker. He needed to try and lose them. He quickly breaks into a run dropping the groceries at the same to the ground. The more weight in his hands, the harder it will be to flee. With his feet hitting the ground he focuses on his routes leading back to the house, realizing that his normal route was not going to be a good idea—any route was not a good idea. Instead he decides to make a risky decision, and pulls out his phone. He quickly dials a number and holds it to his ear.

In the kitchen of their home, Vox stands with a cup of tea in hand as he was waiting for Mysta to come back so that he could prepare for their dinner tonight. He glances to a clock near by on the wall and hums lightly to himself. Mysta had been gone for a bit now and he was worried that maybe he needed some help after all despite him denying it earlier. Just as he was going to give him a call his phone rings immediately leaving him to be surprised by the timing. He answers with a small smile.
