An Unknown Power: Angel Dust x Reader

Chapter Twenty

"Wake up (n/n)!" A voice called.

I remained still, the voice was calling me repeatedly. Eventually my eyes opened. I was still in the studio. I had never left, it was just a dream. I let out a relieved sigh.

"Hey! (n/n)!" Angel sighed relieved.

"You're still here too?!" I sighed with relief. The studio was empty. Just me and Angel remained.

"Come on (n/n) let's go back to my place," Angel suggested.

"Like your hotel room? Why?" I asked.

"Just wanna spend some time with ya,' Angel continued.

"Won't the others be confused about me?" I asked.

"Eh, who really cares?!" Angel scoffed.

"I do!" I couldn't have all of their confused faces looking at the demon Angel brought back with him. I'm not one of those little "one night stand" kind of demons and I don't want the others thinking that about me either. Just because they wouldn't see me as (y/n) doesn't change how I would feel about the judging looks I would receive. It doesn't seem like that's what Angel wants with me, tho the others would probably think otherwise.

"Fine, we can just chill here for a while then",Angel sighed.

"Okay, I'll stay for a little while, but I have to leave soon."

"So, whatcha wanna do?" Angel asked, pulling me closer.

"Nothing, I just needed a break from my normal life."

"Oh, anyways ya were kinda yelling while you were asleep. Did ya have a bad dream?" Angel asked.

"That's one hLell of an understatement," I whispered.

I held my hand in front of myself and looked at my palm. I saw Val's magic swirl around my hand. Then, a moment later it flickered and glitched away.

"I think I'm going insane!" I whispered as a tear fell down my face.

Angel lifted my face so I was looking up at him. "Why is that?" Angel asked, wiping the tear off my cheek.

"Angel...I wish I could tell you. I really do...But, it's a lot. I'll tell you when the time is right," I whispered.

"Do you... not trust me?" Angel asked.

"Angel, of course I trust you! It would...just be a lot for you to know."

"Will I ever get to know? You keep telling me you will say when the time is right.",Angel asked.

"Yes, since you really want to know. We can meet up tomorrow at noon."

"But, where?",Angel asked.

"We don't even have to meet up... we live at the same place. But, tomorrow I will take you to where I practice my powers."

"But, the only other demon at the hotel is...(y/n)!",Angel exclaimed.

I nodded, "(y/n) transform."

"Wow! That explained a lot more than I expected...",Angel whispered.

"You'll find out so much more tomorrow..." I sighed.

I looked down at myself to see that I was still (n/n). Something was going on. "(N/n)? Is something wrong?" Angel asked.

"What was the last thing I said to you?" I asked.

You said we could meet up tomorrow to talk about everything. Then, you stood up and it looked like you were in a trance.

Angel looked at me with the most concerned expression I had ever seen,"But, are you okay?"

"I...no I'm not. There's so much I will have to tell you tomorrow and I'm scared for the outcome. Not because of what I'm going to tell you. But what could happen to me as a result of my goals." The tears began to pour down my face.

"Hey, sweetheart, save the rest for tomorrow. We both need time," Angel stated and he tried to smile.

"Thanks Angel..."

Angel walked towards the stage. He motioned for me to come with him. We sat on the edge of the stage with our legs hanging off. Angel reached down and took my hand in his. I glanced over and smiled. I leaned against Angel's shoulder. "I could really just use a hug..." I whispered under my breath. Angel heard my quiet request and slowly wrapped all four of his arms around me, holding me in his warm, fluffy embrace. I wrapped my arms around Angel in return. In Angel's arms I felt so safe. His touch creates a small heaven feeling in this hellish world.
