Redemption - Konig x Reader

twenty six

Blood, death, and gore. The stench of gun powder, burnt flesh, and the metallic burn of fresh blood. That's what covered the ground, and the air around me.

I was stepping all through it.

Clumsily, yet carefully, i walked down the end of the hallway. I was shocked, no thoughts or words could explain it. I was walking on the remains of people. Bad people. Yet still people. I was smearing their blood across the floor, and making foot prints in their puddles. In a way i felt responsible. I was the reason this had happened, he wouldn't have done this if i wasn't in this hospital, or if he even knew who i was. I think that's why it weighed on me heavy.

Did i cause this?

I was in the lobby now, looking at the scene around me. Bodies on bodies. I walked in a circle just to take it in, almost tripping over my own feet as i did. Even with my past, this wasn't a comparable amount of carnage.

I eventually stopped moving, standing in the middle of the lobby now, just a few feet from the main desk. I had chosen to ignore the receptionist slumped in her seat. That i couldn't handle at the moment. At least what i was seeing now were people i knew deserved death. Her though, she didn't.

I was breathing heavily now, or atleast i was suddenly noticing it. König, he was next to me. I felt his presence, you always hear him when he moved, but i could simply sense him. He held a heavy aura, and it seemed to have thickened during his killing spree.

I looked at him now, but it was almost different. It wasn't like every other time i had seen him. Looked at him. It was as if he was a stranger. I didn't know him anymore. I couldn't recognize him. I thought i had him figured out, and that things were so simple. I was as wrong as someone could be. He was sweet, but he was savage. He took lives in mere seconds, he was trained to kill. It was all clicking now.

I finally understood.

The way he looked at me now, i think he knew. By the way my whole body was tense, how wide my eyes had grown, or by the slight shaking stature i now held. He knew.

We didn't speak. I couldn't. We instead stared. It wasn't the same looks we had shared back in my hospital room. These looks were full of fear. Both of us scared of something different.

"Y/N." He finally spoke.

His legs weren't shaking and his hands weren't moving. He was eerily still, not at all normal for him. But soon after i noticed, he moved towards me. He could've cleared the distance between us in one stride, but i didn't let him. It wasn't on purpose either. It was an involuntary action, but, i immediately jerked backwards. Out of fear.

He froze. His hand was outreached, but it stopped mid air. I watched as his eyes darted wildly, moving all across my face. We shared a heavy moment, but it was cut off short.

A loud eruption came quick, almost an explosion of action. It wasn't bad though, i was soon to realize it was help. Police coming to put an end to whatever was going on. Perhaps it was some of Königs own men. I couldn't tell. My shoulders were dragged roughly, forcing me backwards and out of the hospital. I saw through hazy eyes, and could only see Königs figure getting smaller as i left. He stood, staring at me, as i was eventually forced out of the doors. The outside was a mess, police cars and swat. Military vans and men in uniforms rushing inside. It was chaotic, and it reminded me of the same night i had first met König. This time though, i didn't have him with me.

I wasn't carried out in his arms, or able to shadow him up until the moment i couldn't. We were together just moments ago, but i had never felt farther from him.

lowkey so nervous for everything that's gonna happen next in this fic
