Chapter 4: Murderous Voices In My Head

(Y/N) P.O.V

Kuro's been acting weird after we left the festival at school. Something's wrong. I just can't put my finger on what... Ugh! Why can't I figure out what's going on?! If I don't sort this problem out, I'll never be able to connect to Kuro properly, as a person! I struggle to get to sleep as think about what Kuro's expression was like at the festival. Damn it! Why can't I do anything?! I'm a horrible Eve! The worst!
Then, kill him.
I sit up. "What was that?!" I exclaim, looking around. Kill him, (Y/N). It's the only option.
Why am I hearing voices...? It's not a voice that I can recognise or is familiar...
You have to kill him. He is not your friend, nor boyfriend. He's a monster.
I frown.
No, you're wrong! Kuro is a good person! He's not a monster!
How can you be so sure? You haven't seen the rest of his murderous past.
'Murderous'...?
You feel a murderous aura coming from him, do you not?
I put my hands to my head and shake my head.
No. No, you're lying! This ain't true! You're telling me lies!
This 'Kuro' of yours is not a friend, nor ally. A monster is what he is.
He's not a monster!
A vampire is a type of monster. Think of it that way.
They may be monsters, but not all of them are!
Kuro is a monster.
I shake.
No. Stop it.
Do you even know this monster at all?
Please! Stop it!
No. You don't, do you?
Stop it!
He's not a friend. He's a monster, (Y/N), a monster. He will kill and devour you, and others  that you value.
Stop it. Stop it! Stop it right now!
Then I hear whispers, repeating 'monster', 'vampire', 'murderer', 'kill him', 'die' over and over again. I put my hands to my ears.
(Y/N). Kill this monster. Slay him. Break him. It's the only way you can find peace and happiness again.
No. I can't. I can't do it. I won't do it!
Yes, you can. Come on, (Y/N). You can do it. You can kill him.
Kuro...
I close my eyes and tears roll down my cheeks.

Kuro P.O.V

I won't kill her. I can't kill her. If I do, I'll never forgive myself. Then a piece of paper floats into the living room from her bedroom. "What is that?" I pick it up and read through it.

(Monster by EXO (English Translation))

She got me gone crazy, why is my heart pounding?
You're beautiful, my Goddess
You're closed off, yeah, yeah
I'll knock, so will you let me in?
I'll give you a hidden thrill
You've already fallen into the curiosity in my eyes
Don't be afraid
Love is the way
Shawty, I got it
You can call me 'Monster'
I'm creeping in your heart, babe
Overturning, breaking you down, swallowing you
Yeah, I'll steal you away and indulge in you
I'll ruin you
Carved into your heart
I want to live on forever even after I've died
You call me 'Monster'
You call me 'Monster'
I'll make it into your heart
She got me gone crazy, why is my heart pounding?
I'm a bit impatient
I'm not that gentle
I hated you
But I want you
That's right, my type
My heart won't lie
It's begun, inside of me
I send out a dangerous sign
Don't be afraid
Love is the way
Shawty, I got it
You can call me 'Monster'
I'm creeping in your heart, babe
Overturning, breaking you down, swallowing you
Yeah, I'll steal you away and indulge in you
I'll ruin you
Carved in your heart
I want to live on forever even after I've died
Come here, girl
You call me 'Monster'
I'll make it into your heart
It gives me a thrill
Overturning your whole life
I'm sorry you made me so crazy
You know you do
Yeah
Everyone's afraid of me
So I'm untouchable man
Can't refuse me in the end?
Why is it your truth
I hide, watching you, and you're surprised
Who?
I'm like a antimony to you
But I'm a part of you
How we do?
Accept me as I am
Leave behind your fears and worries
Look for the pain you can take
And fall even deeper
Play as you like within my hands
I'll play with you as I like
Don't run away, you'll be staying around here forever
You can call me 'Monster'
I'm creeping in your heart, babe
Overturning,  breaking you down, swallowing you
Yeah, I'll steal you away and indulge in you
I'll ruin you
Carved in your heart
I want to live on forever even after I've died
Come here, girl
You call me 'Monster'
I'll make it into your heart
Creeping, creeping, creeping
Creeping, creeping, creeping
You
Oh
Creeping

I swallow. "Why does this seem... So familiar...?"
Probably because it's based on you.
I gasp in surprise.
You again?! What do you want from me?!
'Kuro'... Is a nice name, is it not?
What, do you want the name or something?
No. I want you to kill her.
I'm not gonna kill her! For a million times, no! Don't you know the meaning of 'no'?!
This writing on this sheet of paper... Who's handwriting is it?
(Y/N)'s. So what?
She's writing about you.
What...?
She's calling you a monster, Kuro.
No. No, she wouldn't.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. This writing on the sheet of paper is coming from your perspective.
You're- You're lying! (Y/N) would never do that!
I'm not lying here. You are.
Excuse me?!
You heard me. '(Y/N) would never do that!' is what you said, right?
Yeah, so?
How can you tell? You may be close to her, but you're not that close.
Maybe...
Kill her, Kuro.
No!
Listen to me, before you do anything rational.
Fine. What is it?
She hates you, Kuro. She thinks you're a monster, and that you will kill her sometime in life.
I won't, though!
You will. You'll lose control of yourself and kill her.
But I can't...
But there's a solution.
I don't want to hear any more of your lies, or your so called 'solutions'!
Kill her now, Kuro. It's the only way.
Never in my life will I kill her!
You keep saying you won't. That's not true.
No. What you're saying isn't true.
You can do it, Kuro. You can kill her, Kuro.
No, I can't! I love her! I can't kill someone that I love!
You loved your creator, right? You killed him, didn't you?
No, you're wrong!
What do you mean?
I never loved my creator. 'Hate' is a very strong word, so I'm not gonna say that I hated him. I  just didn't like him. That's all.
Is that the reason why you killed him?
No. I killed him because there was a majority vote, four against three. And that man was dangerous. If he lived any longer, the world could've fell into chaos. That's why I killed him.
If you can kill your creator, then you can kill (Y/N). She doesn't want to live any longer.
If she didn't want to live any longer, she would've told me. She doesn't keep things from me.
She does keep things from you. She keeps things from everyone. Not just you.
Like what?
She never told you that she was in a band. That she had a guy as a childhood friend. That she liked you.
She already told me that, though.
She kept it from you, though.
Do you know anything about her that anyone doesn't know? You don't, do you?
I do.
What is it, then, you little Know-It-All?
She has something strange inside her, like you do. In other words, like me. Once she formed a contract with you, she has started to feel these strange and painful emotions. Because of you.
What kind of emotions?
Pain. Fear. Regret. Sadness. Hatred. Rejection.
Because of me...?
Yes. Because of you. She tried to kill herself once, you know.
Eh?! When was this?!
Before and after she met and formed a contract with you.
I see... But, how do you know all this?
Just kill her, Kuro. Then all her pain and suffering will come to an end. She won't need to commit suicide that way.
I don't want to kill her, though... I want her to stay with me.

"K-Kuro." A voice says behind me. I turn around. "(Y/N)? What's-" I gasp as I see a gun in her trembling hand. Shaking, she slowly lifts the gun up and points it at me. I look at her face, beads of sweat rolling down her face and tears streaming down her cheeks. "(Y/N)... Are you... Going to try to kill me...?" She closes her eyes. "I-I'm s-sorry, Kuro..." She apologises in a shaky voice.

I guess you'll have to kill her in defence. You've got no choice.
Shut up. I'm immortal, I'll be fine.

Shaking, she presses the gun to her chest. I gasp. "No, don't!" But I was too late. She had already pulled the trigger. As she falls to the ground, I feel a pain in my chest. A pain of sadness. I fall to my hands and knees, tears streaming down my cheeks. I bury my face in her chest and cry. Then, the door slams open. "Nii-san! What happened?" I look up. "Lawless..." I say through tears. He looks at (Y/N) and gasps. "Who... Who did this...?" I look away. "S-She killed herself..." I look at him. "What were you even doing here...?"
"We were outside the apartment, then we heard a gunshot coming from your place, so we rushed up here." I pick her up. "Let's go to the hospital, before it's too late." Lawless and Licht nod. We run out of the apartment. I look at (Y/N). (Y/N)... (Y/N), why? Please, (Y/N)... Please be alive... Please, I need- I need you...
