Am I Really A Monster? [PurplePhone Mythology AU]

Monster?

Scott pov

It's been about a year now. Vincent has gotten a lot bigger. He's about sixteen or seventeen I would say now. ((A/N idk about actual naga aging)) But nagas grow incredibly fast and pretty much live forever, unless they're killed. Vincent's already a good five inches taller than me, but he's still as docile as ever.

I laid across Scott's lap. He says I'm getting too big to do that but still doesn't mind.

I love my Scotty's warmth. He took care of me. He loved me when I had no one and I love him for it. But that man called me a monster. A thing. Like I didn't have feelings.

I looked at Scott. He looked at the clock.

"We better go hunting before it's dark..." He said.

I nodded and slithered off of his lap. We headed out the door and onto the back road that nobody uses. It's how we get to the forest so we can hunt. We were making our way to the forest when I heard walking.

Vincent's ears perked up and I stopped. There were footsteps coming in our direction.

Oh no! Oh no no no!

The person was Mike, who had basically stopped talking to me since the argument we had all those months ago. In anger I told him that I wasn't keeping Vincent, but I only did it out of anger. I  would've never gotten rid of Vincent.

I stepped in front of Vincent as Mike walked closer, trying to hide Vincent from view. Unfortunately Vincent's about five inches taller so it didn't really work.

"SCOTT WHAT THE HELL?! THAT THING'S GONNA EAT YOU!" Mike yelled.

"YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT VINCENT!" I yelled back.

I could tell Vincent didn't like the yelling because he ducked down behind me.

Vincent pov

I don't like this yelling. This man is calling me "monster" and "thing" again. Scott is defending me but I still don't like them yelling. 

"YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE GETTING RID OF THAT MONSTER!" The man yelled.

My eyes widened.

Scotty said he was getting rid of me? Why? Why would he say that? I thought Scotty loved me. Why would he tell this man he was getting rid of me? He wouldn't. This man is lying! Scotty would never do that!

My scales rose in my shoulders and I bared my fangs at the man. He looked scared, just like he should be. I hissed and he took a step back. ((A/N Vincent is like a moody teen)) Scott was talking to me but I tuned him out. I lunged at the male and tackled him down. He cried out and struggled. I held him down easily, my claws digging into his wrists.

"VINCENT!" I screamed while trying to pull him off of Mike.

I can't believe he's attacking Mike! I mean, I can't say that Mike doesn't deserve it, but still! I never wanted to see this happen!

I managed to pull Vincent back right as he was about to bite Mike's throat. Vincent's eyes widen and he quickly slithered off somewhere into the shadows.

"That thing nearly ripped my throat out!" Mike yelled.

I was filled with anger.

"SERVES YOU RIGHT!" I yelled as I ran after Vincent.

I followed Vincent back home without him noticing. I walked into the house as quietly as possible. I heard sobbing from Vincent's room. I opened the door to see Vincent crying face down in his bed. It hurt to see him like this.

I sat next to him and hugged him.

"It's alright...you didn't hurt him..." I said quietly.

"But I almossst did...." He muttered quietly.

I petted his hair.

"But you didn't...and that's what matters..." I said.

"Ssssing me ssssomething pleasssse Ssscotty?" He asked.

I smiled and nodded.

Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in
Oh oh oh
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in
Oh oh oh
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide?
Oh oh oh
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made its home inside
Oh oh oh
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.

I finished the song and realized that Vincent had fallen asleep. I smiled and held him close.

"You are no monster..."
