Lovers of the Shadow (Laurence x Reader)

Chapter 3: caught

Your POV:

In comes the monster, Gene. My mind goes blank and my skin grows pale, due to fright. Which is a good thing, seeing as a shadow knight's skin is paler than the original, I know from all those cram sessions. He speaks.

"Oh, My dear sister, ______(fake name), I'd figured that you would awaken by now." Gene says in the same tone before I blacked out. Oh, how i would love to slay this beast.

"Brother, I don't remember anything, where am I? What happened? I even forgot your name, I deeply apologize." Thank Irene, Gene buys my act.

"Oh, my poor sister, I am Gene, your elder brother, And we are residing in the place known as the nether." Wow. Gene must be very stupid. "what happened is a long story, you might not be able to take it in..."

"Oh, but Gene! Please tell me!" I give him my signature puppy eyes. Then, in a flash, his 'innocent' eyes have an evil glint in them. Here it comes, how Samuel 'betrayed' me, I wonder if his story skills are good.

"Well, you see, our childhood friend, Samuel, almost killed you, missing your heart by one inch," He starts. "Were fighting against an army when he back-stabbed us, almost killing you. I carried you to the nether, because, as you know, we are shadow knights, we work for the shadow lord."

"I see," I say, then lower my head. "Samuel was my lover, he was probably only after my powers." I sob, fake tears, of course. "Gene, you and the other shadow knights are the only ones I can trust." Then, I run into his arms, pretending to sob. I expect to feel a pain in my back, instead, I feel a hand.

"Sorry, _____(fake name), now, how about we forget about the horrible events, we could have a party to celebrate your awakening."

"Really? Thank you Gene!" I hug him tighter, I have to act clueless.

~~~Time skip to party~~~
Celebration, I usually enjoy celebrations, however, this particular one I despise. It is all an act that I put in for no one to suspect me. Celebrations here in the nether are not lively like the ones in the over wold. Everything is dark, even the people. Gene and I walk up to the orchestra set up. Really, it's nly a violin, viola, cello, and bass. Then he turns to the crowd and speaks

"Fellow shadow Knights, I would like to introduce you all to my sister" He says. Then, he whispers to me. "Introduce yourself." he whispers to me

"Hello everyone! As my brother, Gene, just stated, I am his younger sister, _____(fake name)." At that moment, I bob a curtsy. Then, the cello begins to play a familiar tune. (Music in the video) Oh, well, I guess I will make the best of this living hell hole... I say in my mind and snap my fingers, my violin appears, unlike all the instruments I see, which are all blood red, my instrument is white and pure. I sigh and begin to play.

Why is everything here so dark? I sigh as the song comes to an end, of course, this is a living hell, after all. Walking to a secluded stage area in the castle , remembering the song, there are lyrics to this, The song that Samuel taught me, even if this song was dark, I always loved the cello part, so he played it. He played it for me only...

I snap my fingers again and an array of instruments ans sheet music come out. These are infused with magic, giving them a mind of their own. I decide to play the piano part, so I can also concentrate on singing.

"This is for you, Samuel..." I whisper

1...2...3...4... We begin to play in unison, and on cue, I begin to sing.

The apple's poison
is snatched away by a small bite mark,
as the maiden's deception
falls into a slumber in the dinner chair.

Be it the love from the seven,
or the kiss from the prince,
in the end, all of them will
just melt away on her snow-white skin.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
unveil my unsightly heart.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in the land is the fairest of all?

Wearing their iron boots,

they keep on dancing.
In the end, everything will
just be burned away.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
unveil my parched heart.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the one with the shredded wail?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
unveil my unsightly heart.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in the land is the fairest of all?

little did I know, that there Was someone listening to me sing...

Who was listening to you sing? find out in chapter 4: (idk name yet)
