Rivals To Lovers (Villainous)

Chapter 15

I don't remember what happened, I don't know where I am, I don't even know what my name is. Everything surrounding me was a never ending darkness I could never escape. But... I could hear things, people's voices. Why can't I see them? I looked around hoping for something to happen, but sadly nothing did. I sank down to my knees holding my head in tears feeling sudden fear take over me. Where are all these voices coming from?! I stood there not moving a muscle until a name came to my mind.

Me: Black Hat....

I repeated the name a few times to see if I remember anything. Nothing else besides what seems to be a mission.

Me: Protect..... Black Hat. Protect Black Hat. Protect Black Hat!

I got up quickly running deeper into the darkness trying to remember what his voice sounds like. I don't know why I'm doing this, but I feel deep down that this was a very important mission I must complete.

Me: Protect Black Hat, protect Black Hat!

I kept saying to myself running to nothing in sight. All these voices, where is he? I stopped automatically when I heard a familiar deep voice. I looked around feeling some sort of relief. I wasn't sure if this was him fully, but my gut told me otherwise. I could hear his heartbreaking voice echo in my darkness, he was on the phone I could tell, he sounded like he was fighting back tears.

Black Hat: WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S DEAD?!

I listened closely to the other person on the line, it was a girl. She sounded like she was crying.

Willow: I-I'm so sorry! By the time I found her, she...... th-they-!

Black Hat: For how long?

Willow: ....... Possibly all week since she's gone missing Mr. Black Hat sir!

Black Hat: Did you try it at least?!!

Flug: We tried to bring her back sir, but it didn't work....

Black Hat: ........ I-I......

Black Hat stood silent, I heard a very faint sniffle come from him.

Black Hat: Very well, that hero is going to fucking pay!!!

A phone slammed down on a table with a long pause of quietness. I almost jumped when Black Hat let out a painful, heartbroken, bloody murder like scream. It echoed off the walls along with the sound of multiple items being thrown. Black Hat's painful wails could probably shatter glass at this point.

Black Hat: This is why...... THIS IS WHY I DON'T GET CLOSE TO FUCKING ANYBODY!!!!

Another item was thrown, me feeling like it almost hit my head, and the sound of glass shattered. It was all followed by a loud thump on the floor. Did he fall?

Black Hat: FREYA!!!!

I stood there listening to his loud sobbing, a clear and bright image of him coming to me in the darkness. I walked over to him and the light, he was on the floor in a ball hiding his face. I sat down next to him and tried to rub his back, but my hand went right through him.

Me: This man....

I looked around at the remaining darkness that still surround me.

Me: He's the only light to my darkness it seems....

I looked back down at him, determination suddenly filled me.

Me: And I must protect him at all costs.
