Dead Plate Oneshots

Chapter 1 🩸

Rody's POV
I fall back as I feel some kind of sinister aura coming from the shadows, Manon is right next to me with blood and sweat dripping all over her. She looked exhausted but she wasn't going to give up yet, not with him.. Not. With. Him...
A dark-haired man stood in front of us, his arms extending outwards as his manic smile grew... "You have one choice, either you save your pitiful little lover or you can save the world.. what do you choose?" - I look up to Manon as her eyes widen in horror, she clenches her fist before screaming back, "Y-you can't be serious right!? That is completely uncalled for!"
"Oh but that's exactly what I mean, you can save him or save the world from my hands... it's your choice." - The man starts to move closer, "Your time is running out, plus this is really boring me and overall a waste of my time..However, I am in a good enough mood to let you have choices, unless you'd like to ruin it~"
Manon grows more frustrated as those words leave the opposing man's mouth, she looks back at me and I look back.. Let's be honest here, we both knew where this was going to go; with a softening in her face, she opened her mouth, "I choose to save the world, that's my purpose..! I'm sorry..I- I love you Rody but this is for the best, goodbye . . ."
I feel water starting to trickle down my face, watching the love of my life quickly run back out to check on the city, not noticing the other man making his way behind me before knocking me out with one kick to the neck.

.

I wake up to discover myself in my bedroom? Strange... I was just in an abandoned building, maybe it was just all a terrible nightmare... My thought immediately burst when I spotted a note leaning against a bottle of red wine on my bedside table, it read,
"Your pathetic sobs amused me, so I spared you but don't think I'll do that for you again... You shouldn't test your luck, Lamoree, you run on a time limit and one day it will eventually catch up to you.." ~ V
God how creepy.. how did he even know my last name...The letter made my whole body shiver, I better keep my distance from that guy before he comes for my head..!
Wait! I should tell Manon that I'm alive! She'd be so happy, but at the same time, I feel dread thinking about her... Like some kind of hatred, but I didn't hate her and I don't want to, she's the love of my life! Yes, she did sacrifice me but it was for a good cause, it was the world for crying out loud! However, something from inside of me told me to just drop the phone and not bother to dial her number ever again...
A minute passes and I decide to get up and make my way towards my bathroom; throwing the note in the trash on the way.
I undress and hop in the shower, I sigh as I feel the water run down my body...

.

With a turn of the faucet, the rushing water became a stream before completely shutting off. I pull open the shower curtain and reach for my towel; I start to dry my hair before wrapping the rest of my body in the soft cloth. My whole bathroom is filled with fog due to the lack of an air vent, but I'd just have to deal with it... I step out of the shower, being careful not to slip, and make my way to my bedroom and into my closet.
My wardrobe wasn't all that fancy but it was decent, and besides, there were some outfits that Manon gave me which were really nice! Speaking of her... it left a bitter taste on my tongue
'God damn it.. I need to get myself a drink at this point"
Third Person POV
Rody quickly snatches an outfit, throws it on, grabs his belongings, and rushes out the door, and out of his apartment complex. He makes his way between alleys and unfamiliar streets in a trance until he is completely lost, Rody starts to panic but calms a bit when he notices some lights ... Maybe he could ask for some directions there!
'La Guele de Saturne' it read on the sign, he's heard of this place before, it was just featured in the newspaper last week or so. The wonder had some fancy name... what was it? Like Charbonneau or something along those lines, Rody didn't really care he just needed directions back home and a drink.

.

Vincent is speaking with a guest when he hears the jingle of bells from the front entrance, he takes a quick glance at the new guest only to realize it is Rody... The chef curses under his breath and politely excuses himself from the conversation before rushing into the kitchen and sending one of the cooks out to help Rody.
The raven-haired man starts to pace back and forth and thinks to himself, 'Shit did he see me?" He just sighs and watches as the clueless cook tries their best to help out the other man, Vincent could only observe from afar; with one hand covering his mouth in anticipation...
.

A few minutes passed and Rody finally got some directions back to the street he lives on and where a nice bar would be, however, he couldn't help but notice that the waiter was wearing a cook uniform. Sure he wouldn't know anything about the fancy attire, but he knew for certain that out of all the 28 jobs he had in the industry, he knew for certain the difference between uniforms. The ex-waiter just shrugged and made his way down the street, within just a few turns he found himself in familiar surroundings and was able to make it back home safely. He thought of stopping by the bar but realized he was too exhausted and would do something stupid... Rody just shrugs it off and enters his apartment before just plopping on the bed and falling into a deep sleep. . .

o°.
The ex-waiter finds himself in some kind of nightmare, there is a flame that burns around him; it stung, it was tearing at his skin. As he looked up he saw that at the center was Manon standing and beside her was him... the man who destroyed everything and took everything from Rody. He tries to reach out and call out but no matter how loud he yells they don't turn, that's not until the slim figure turns around and places one finger over his mouth as if a way to silence Rody...
