Septic Eyes: An Antisepticeye X Child! Reader (Complete)

Chapter Four

(Antisepticeye's Point of View):
I guided (Y/N) through the busy streets, holding her hand tightly. Last thing I'd want is for her to get lost, then found by some messed up dude with issues.

I blinked, then scowled. 'Last thing l want?' I must be losing my mind.

How are you going to get in looking like you do?

I shook my head. "I was thinking about that earlier," I murmured, glancing down to see if (Y/N) had heard me.

She was looking around, mouth slightly open in wonder.

Do you want me to come out? So we can find her Dad?

"That might be the only way we can even get in. Unfortunately."

Wanna find some back alley to do it? It'll be strange for someone to watch that...

"Yeah, give me a minute," I sighed, looking around. "Hey, (Y/N)? Can you help me look for a quiet place where nobody is around?"

Oh, yeah. That doesn't sound suspicious, or unerving.

"Okay," (Y/N) said with a smile.

I watched (Y/N) look around, peering around people's legs to look between buildings. Her (E/C) eyes were searching, and wide, her grip on my hand was tight, and her body was tense. Maybe... her Dad isn't there? Maybe he's, like, gone or some shite. I mean, he didn't pick her up, and neither did her Mom, so... maybe their dead?

I actually kinda hope so...

"What?!"

"Anti?"

I blinked at (Y/N), then gave her a sheepish smile. "Sorry, just... thinking. Heh. Keep looking."

Sorry, I just... well, it gets lonely. Just you, and stuff. She brings color to the world we live in, do you get what I'm sayin'?

"But wishing her parents were dead? That's so unlike you," I hissed, looking around.

I just want her to stay, not specifically for her parents to die, Anti. Who the fook do you think I am?

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up, Jack."

Heh, yeah... Anti?

"What?"

Where's (Y/N)?

I looked down to find my hand empty. Gasping, I spun, searching. "(Y/N)? (Y/N)!" I pushed through the crowd, starting to panic. "(Y/N)! Fookin' hell!"

There! To the left! She's being taken!

I spun, then pushed through more people. "Who?!"

Brown hair! Pony tail! Wearing a black t-shirt!

I scanned the crowd in front of me, breathing heavily. My gaze slipped over men and woman, until they landed on a brown pony tail, slipping into an alleyway. "Oh, no you fookin' don't!"

The crowd thickened suddenly, causing me to slow down further.

"Get the fook outa my way!"

"Dude, we all want to get to work, so ju-!"

I looked over, and screamed. "MY DAUGHTER IS BEING KIDNAPPED, SO GET THE FOOK OUT OF MY WAY!!!"

The man blinked, and paled, his blue eyes flicking over my features. "Jesus, just... calm do-!"

I pushed further in, using all my strength to reach the edge. Once there, I sprinted, following the alley.

"Mommy! Daddy! Anti!"

"Shut up, Girly. You'll go for a hefty price."

"HEY!"

Ahead of me, the man spun, holding (Y/N)'s arm tightly. He glared at me, then blinked as I approached quickly, my fists clenched tightly. Black ooze ran down my left eye, my green eye. My hands slowly started to turn as black as tar, my nails extending to become razor sharp. The blackness crept up my forearm, it's inky tendrils wrapping around my bicep.

"Let her go," I growled.

"Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?" The man stepped back, holding (Y/N) in front of him.

She stared at me, starting to tremble. "A-Anti?"

I stalked forward, and grabbed the man by the neck, using my left hand to wrench him away from (Y/N). I leaned forward, bearing my teeth. "You sorry Son of a Bitch. You really think I wouldn't notice her missing?" I lifted him off his feet. "People like you deserve to die," throwing him against the wall, I pounced and kicked him against the opposite wall, grinning at his screams.

"Ah! Fuck! L-look, man, " he coughed up blood, slowly crawling away. "I just do the d-deliveries."

"What? I'm sorry," I stepped on his back. "I can't hear you over the sound of how dead you are," lifting my foot up, I stomped down, laughing.

"Anti!"

I looked over. "(Y/N)?"

(Y/N) trembled, tears running down her cheeks as she stared at me, her eyes wide with fear.

I quickly stepped away from the beaten man, the blackness disappearing, and the black goop from my eyes drying. "(Y/N), I was just... I was protectin' you," I took a step towards her, freezing when she took a step back. "No, it's alright," I said softly, crouching. "I... I'm not goin' t' hurt you, I promise! (Y/N), please. I'm sorry."

She ran forward, sobbing, her little arms going around my neck. "You scared me, Anti! Don't do that again, don't do that!"

I sighed, hugging her tightly. "I know. I'm sorry. I swear, I won't do it again. I swear."

You're not takin' her back, are you?

"No. No, I'll always protect you, (Y/N)."
