Tech and Lust

Chap. 8 A Hotel?

There was a sound of a heart beat monitor...and you weakly open your eyes, you could smell a faint smell of medicine, as you looked around. "Hospital?..." You muttered weakly as you could feel a painful throbbing in your head. "Hey lady wait-" You heard a muffled voice call out, followed by a door bursting open, and footsteps. "Y/n!" You flinched when you felt someone hug you. "H-huh? Whats happening?" You felt Bree get pulled off you, as you were faced with an angry Dillan. "By Satan Bree! She's fine." Bree smacked her brother lightly, as she pushed him off.

"I was worried, okay!" Dillan shushed Bree as you rubbed your head, adjusting to the light still. Bree wiped a few tears away as Dillan yawned tiredly. He looked like he didn't get any sleep..."How are you feeling?" He asked as you blinked a few times. "Umm...I'm doing alright...I just..can't really remember why I'm here." Dillan frowned a bit more looking away from you. "Damn." Bree shot him a glare, Before her face softened looking back at you. "Do you want me to give you a summary on what happened?" You noticed that her voice sounded softer than usual.

"Um...is it really bad though?" You tried to shift a bit, but Dillan stopped you. "Woah woah, don't move that side...its a bit...broken at the moment." You paused before moving some of the sheets to see some bandages wrapped around your rib area. You looked up a bit panicked, but Bree just petted your head comfortingly." "I-Its okay, the doctor just said you have a broken rib...or...two...but don't worry." You shook your head, What the hell am I thinking? How am I gonna pay for this on time? "W-wait! My gosh! How am I gonna pay for this-"

"Y/n! Don't worry we have that covered, you don't need to pay us back, now can you PLEASE just let me tell you what happened?" You calmed down, slumping back in the hospital bed nodding. "Well...do you remember getting a job?" You nodded and she cleared her throat. "Well...what if I told you...that place got...sorta shot up by some big time overlord?" Your eyes widened and she waved her arms in the air, to stop you from speaking. "Ah ah ah! Wait wait!, and then umm, we got into Dillans car...The one I borrowed and crashed...and that's how you passed out..." She looked to the floor glumly, and you paused taking a moment to soak in what just happened.

"Was there....a lot of deaths?" You asked, quietly staring off in the distance. "Well...yes....b-but not all of them." You began to feel tears prick at your eyes. You remembered seeing families in that restaurant, innocent demons....children...elderly.....why?....Why your first day on getting a job as well?..Bree silently hugged you, as you hugged her back..."Those families....t-there all gone.." She flinched at the sound of your sadden voice. "Not all of them...i-infact Claw found a child that we saved!" Dillan said, trying to brighten up the mood. That still didn't make you feel better...maybe your mother was right, maybe becoming a prostitute was for the best...or even better, just sleeping on the streets and being homeless....You hated this...Great job Y/n you even put one of the only friends you have in danger...what could be better. You thought, as you started to sob slightly. "Y-Y/n its not your fault okay...it's no one's fault..." Bree whispered as she brushed your hair, with her hands gently. Dillan looked away, pain in his eyes, as he started leaving. "I'm gonna try and look for the others..." He muttered as Bree just nodded, still holding you tight.

Meanwhile Claw was carrying the child imp that he found the other day. Both him and Jona were sitting in the waiting room, as the imp child was fast asleep. "Yo...he's been asleep for a while...is he dead?" Jona asked casually as Claw used his tail to whack the back of his leg. "Yeowch! I-I was joking-"

"After all thats happened yesterday...I think joking about that now is pretty fucked up man." Jona rubbed the back of his head, looking away from him nervously. "Y-yeah..sorry my bad.." He muttered as Claw rolled his eyes. "We have to find out more about this kid...like where his parents are?" Jona nodded, and Claw took this as an opportunity to give the kid to Jona. "Wha- hey! Bastard!" Jona said as Claw smirked. "Don't talk too loud you'll wake him, now I need to leave to take a piss...when he wakes up ask him his name and stuff." Jona was about to protest but he stopped, when he saw other demons in the waiting room giving him strange looks, so he decided to sit back down cradling the child. Now looking at him, he looked much cleaner, since he had some bandage on his cheek, and brushed hair. Jona couldn't help but smile softly. But he paused when he heard two demons bickering quietly saying "Is that his kid?" or "What an odd couple.." Wait, were they thinking that he was dating Claw!?
