It's all in the arts

Chapter 8

What is life like being around lawless of greed and Licht? Nothing is ever sane. They beat each other up, while licht constantly claims to be an angel, while lawless finds a way to add in some quote by Shakespeare. There is rarely a calm moment with the two of them in the same room. But don't get me wrong, I love them all the same, for who they are.

I was making my way to work about a week after the incident I had walked out on. I work at a local coffee shop. I work longer shifts do I have more open time to myself than having a normal shift.

One night on my own, it was pouring rain. Not many people would be coming, but there was a small group of people. Sat at a booth, but spoke in whispers. One word that I did catch, was servamp. I lifted up my head and looked over to the group. I slowly made my way over to them when a boy with short Brown hair stood up and yelled about the others not being serious about something called Tsubaki. I walked to the front of their table and spoke, "What do you know about servamps? I know a good amount, but you really shouldn't be talking about it just anywhere" I said, shocking them.

I saw someone under the table and heard him mumble, "How do you know about servamps? You don't seem to be an Eve. It makes no sense" A smug look came across my face. "I'm friends with someone who is an Eve. What did you mean by a threat? Being friends with an Eve can put me in danger, so I should know" I reasoned.

The brown haired boy looked at the other people with him. The person next to him with blue hair looked up lazily at me. "Most of us here are SerVamps. Tsubaki is a threat to humans and vampires alike" He said, letting out a yawn. "Kuro! What are you doing, telling her that!" someone with brown hair yelled at the Kuro person.

I walked back to my station and began making a hot drink, "What do you mean? How can there be a threat that big? " I questioned. Before any of them could speak, the door slammed open. I looked to see Licht in the doorway, soaked from the rain. "Licht! " I shouted, worried. He kept his normal stance for a second, then began to shiver from the cold. I handed him a large towel and he began drying himself off.

I looked around, not seeing Hyde. "Licht, where is he? He's always with you. And I mean always". He looked up at me from the spot he was drying himself off. " Who knows. That demon goes off anywhere he wants without a care in the world ". I was back behind the counter, fixing a hot drink for him. I was about to put it in a cup when it happened. I was facing away from the door so I could not see.

The door opened and the person spoke, " My Juliet, how I've missed you so!" Hyde said, running at me. I turned around to see him jump over the counter and hug me tight. Because he had jumped to hug me, the force caused us to fall to the floor. My head hit the floor with a little too much force for my liking. I rubbed the back of my head as I looked at him. " Nice to see you too, Hyde "I muttered so only he could hear me.

For whatever reason, Hyde only let me call him by the name Licht had given him. None of his subclasses, siblings or coworkers knew what that name was. Even if I had only met a few of his subclasses, I could tell they didn't know the name given.

With the two of us on the floor, it was annoying me. I looked around on the shelves and spotted a mechanical piece not used anymore. Hyde wasn't getting off, so I had to do this. I used all the force I could, and hit him in the head with it. His body went limp and I pushed him off. I then got up and finished with the drink. I sat down across from Licht, "Why is he such an idiot?" I mumbled.

I rested for a few minutes before getting up and going to the other table, "Do any of you want to order anything? If you don't, I'll have to kick you out soon" I said. A few of them ordered drinks, and I quickly got them handed out. I sat down with Licht, and Lawless awoke soon after that. And he again ran and hugged me. This was getting annoying, "Lawless, you need to let go of me" "Whyyyyy" he whined in response. "Lawless, have you not realized that your siblings are here?" I questioned. He stiffened as I said that. He turned and saw them, quickly turning back around. I hadn't noticed that the storm had gotten worse. Lightning hit close by, making the power go out. I scrambled from my seat to behind the counter.

This absolutely sucks. Why must there be a storm now of all times! My worst fear, and all because of that man. It's been years, yet I cannot get over it. That stormy night he murdered my family, and almost me. I was trembling with fear from remembering that terrible night my life changed. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to keep from crying at the memory. That was when I felt pressure on my head, I opened my eyes to see Hyde sitting in front of me with a sad smile. He moved his hand from my head down to my cheek.

"What's wrong, Y/n?" he asked. I sniffled and wiped my eyes. "One night, when I was a very young girl, a man made his way into my home. My mother and younger twin brother and sister were fast asleep. I heard the crash of the glass window breaking. He made his way to the first room, which held the twins. I heard gunshots and sat up straight in bed, all sleep gone. I heard heavy footsteps walk past my room, and into the one next to mine, which was where my mother was. I knew what was going to happen, and quietly made my way over to the window. There was another gunshot as I had the window propped open just enough for me to climb out. I flinched and trembled with fear. I slowly walked along the roof until I reached the ladder to get down. I slid down and took off at a run. Tears welled up in my eyes as I heard gunshots, know it was aimed at me. Three miles away, I finally stopped and sat on the curb. I balled my eyes out for a few minutes before getting up and going to the nearest police station. They only belived my story once they found the dead bodies. And now years later, it haunts me on stormy nights because it was the same that night. " I explain to him while he keeps me comfort. He rubbed my back gently and kissed me on my forehead. For some reason that calmed me down immediately.
