Gareki x Reader: Circus

Chapter 12 | Claw-hand

[YOUR PV]

Gareki slowly opened the door and I stood behind him, like he'd told me to do. We looked out the door. At first there was no sign of anyone but suddenly, Yogi came flying our way. He went flying through the door, taking us out with him. Another loud BANG sounded through the hallway, followed by a loud scream of pain.

"Gareki, [your name], find Nai and get him out of here!" His voice had a panicked sound in it and he spoke much faster than usual. Gareki grabbed my arm and began running out of the room. I followed him and ran as fast as I could to keep up with him. We found Nai hiding in the corner of one of the hallways where the lights were out.

"Gareki!" He was on the verge of crying and his eyes were wide in fear.

[NAI'S PV]

I saw Gareki running up to me and [your name] following behind him.

"Gareki!" my voice was shaky and I could feel tears coming to my eyes.

I heard another loud BANG and covered my head. Gareki grabbed my arm and lifted me to my feet.

"We have to get out of here." he sounded calm, but I couldn't tell if that was how he really felt.

We were about to turn around when all off a sudden, a man came up behind us. He was wearing a white suit and pants with a black undershirt and on his rather large shoulders was a long navy and light blue striped scarf.

We turned around to find a mysterious man blocking our only escape from the hallway path. He didn't look too dangerous but in this messed up world it isn't safe to just "assume" someone is how they look. I narrowed my eyes and looked for any possible weapons on him but there wasn't a single sign of one.

"[your name]" Gareki whispered and tugged my arm towards him, signaling me to stand further away from the man. I did as he wanted and took a few steps back.

"Why hello young woman! What are you doing with a young man and a little child may I ask?" He began speaking and his tone was off.

"What are you doing young lady?" He asked me the question again but this time he had a grimace on his face.

"Who is that little child?" His face began to screw up more, this time it was more than just a grimace. He began to lean a little forwards.

"He's... I need" He whispered under his breath but I couldn't understand part of it. I took a defence stand without making it too obvious and scanned the area for a possible exit.

"HE'S THE ONE I NEED!!!" The man lunged himself forward. 

Gareki grabbed out his gun but stopped halfway. He stared at the man and his whole body froze. Before I knew it the man had his left hand around my neck and he began pushing me backwards till my back hit the floor. His hand was cold but it felt... different. It felt more like a claw. His face had grown two little legs above his left eyebrow and his left eye had a red glow. I couldn't move, my gaze was fixed on his and I couldn't look away.
