Our Secret (MCD Vylad X Reader)

Home Sweet Home

Early morning, I went for a walk to clear my head of everything, to just take a breather from the wreckage that currently is my fucked up life. How I ended up in my current predicaments from what my life preceded still confused me greatly and I could only proceed and see where it would go from here. Would Vylad and I find each other in the midst of all of this madness? Would everyone find out the truth of my past and my affiliation with the Ro'Meaves? The same questions continued to wrack my mind since we escaped from Irene's dimension and it didn't really help that each wrong turn could fuck me over greatly.

"Get a grip or you'll lose yourself" A voice inwardly told me, causing me to realize I had no idea where my current whereabouts were. I'd been leaning on the base of a tree, breath ragged and heart pounding against my ribcage. I ran a hand through my (h/c) hair and take a deep breath, standing fully to my feet once I regained my boundaries "You'll be perfectly fine, just sit tight for the ride"

I nod, taking another calming breathe as I push off of the tree. My head suddenly began throbbing, my feet losing their balance as I lean against the tree once more. I grit my teeth as I try keeping a grip on my consciousness "Fuck..."

"Tch. You're a wreck" A figure voices as they grab me, lifting and carrying me away from my whereabouts. My vision fades in and out from blurriness, the only evidence of who the possible stranger being a weird smudge of numerous colors. The voice, however, had been very familiar to my ears "How are you supposed to be Aphmau's personal guard if you keep fainting on the job?"

My lips and vocal cords attempt making a witty remark back, but I'm highly positive that whatever left my mouth probably sounded really hella stupid, like a jumble of noises and possibly a small hiss. I could almost feel the smirk on my current caretakers face, a laugh following. Whoever this was sure had been enjoying this sudden scene of weakness for me and I would ensure later that this would be the last fucking time too.

"I know I won't get an actual reply, but what are you doing up so late?" They ask, holding me closer. My eyes finally fall closed as I get more comfortable, my restless form getting the peace it needed "You'll never hear the end of this, (Y/n)"

Fire surrounded me as I held a small doll close in my arms. The doll, a gift from my late mother when I was young, had it's face hidden in my chest to protect it from the flames as one of my parents' guards lead me out of our home. Any questions I'd ask were completely disregarded as they loaded me into a cart, taking off as quickly as possible. I worriedly searched the streets as we passed for any sign of my parents, my whimpers also ignored as we continued travelling in the dark of night-

"(Y/n), Aphmau and Laurence are waiting on you" Zoey states as she helps me stand to my feet, fingers snapping in my face to assist in me regaining consciousness. She stopped once my teeth skim over her fingers "Someone's still a biter..."

"Glad you know" I state as I grab my items from the side table beside the bed I had resided. I quickly place them on and step out of Zoey's small building place thing immediately, waving before closing the door.

Aphmau immediately greeted me once I was noticed, explaining how our reuniting with Malachi would go. I simply nod as I follow behind her with Laurence, the two of us awkwardly quiet as Aphmau continued thinking aloud to herself on the way back to the docks.

With the sudden bout of silence, thoughts on my blackout prior to waking at Zoey's place constantly plagued my thoughts, mainly those of the anonymous person that decided to come to my aid so early or late in the night. Like seriously, why the hell were they up at that hour?!

My eyes land on Laurence, his light blue eyes staring back at me. I give him a questioning look; He cracks a small, suspicious smile.

"Malachi!" Aphmau's abrupt shout prevented me from further questioning upon realization that we'd made it to the dock.
