The Refuge (Noire x Writer)

Prologue (3 years ago)

     I was out with my newly acquired Ducati 2015 superbike, they've become pretty popular these days. I was riding until I saw something coming down the intersection. Something big. It came out of nowhere and it was charging right for me. I throttled up and went forwards, but what I didn't realize was that there was a car right in front of me and I crashed into it. Always look where you're driving I guess. I fell off the bike when I hit the car and saw the thing right at the intersection, I knew I was dead at this point. I braced for the impact and waited. But at the last minute, I was picked up quickly and flew into the air. I looked up to see what happened. There, I saw the face of the Goddess of Lastation in front of me looking back at me. Black Heart! She saved me!? She brought me back to the ground and put me down.

-"Get out of here! Quickly! I'll deal with this."

I nodded and ran away. I looked back at the scene where I saw Black Heart fighting the thing. I noticed someone walk up to me holding a spear.

-"Here! Take this! Help Black Heart!" an old man said.

I took it and nodded. But what the hell was I supposed to do?! Whatever, heroes go down in flames I guess. I gripped the spear in my hand and ran toward the monster from behind. I jumped onto it and started climbing. It resisted and shook to try and get me off but I kept hanging on. Eventually, I got to the back of its head and stabbed the spear right into it. A loud and pained shriek came from the creature as I kept stabbing. It threw me off his head, breaking the spear. I landed on the ground with a thud. Everything hurt. I looked up to see the monster limping towards me. It got over me and lifted his hand. I pulled out my butterfly knife and flipped it open. He quickly lowered his hand to try and crush me but I pointed the knife towards his hand and it entered it. The creature froze in place. After a few seconds, it fell to the ground. The creature was finally dead. I got up and looked over at Black Heart who was giving me a look of concern and congratulation. I walked for about 3 steps before fumbling over to the ground and falling unconscious.

I awoke in the hospital, in pain and with only one doctor in the room. He noticed I was awake and walked towards me.

-"You feeling alright?" he said.

-"Not...really..." I said.

-"Alright, doesn't matter, look, Black Heart wanted me to give this to you. Some sort of note or something."

-"Alright...thanks."

I grabbed the note and placed it on the table. I didn't want to read it right now. I soon fell back to sleep in the discomfort of the hospital bed.
