Light In The Dark

◈ Chapter Two ◈

Aye guysss- so I just wanna say that most of the songs I post on here have nothing to do with the chapters- they are just sorta what I listen to while writing! It puts me in the mood to write so maybe they'll put you in the mood to read! Anyways lets go on to the story!
|-•-|

"(Y/n)'s soulmate is the Red Leader?" You heard Alex's soft voice speak up.

You stood their in disbelief, hoping that maybe this was some sort of sick joke. But it wasn't. The man in front of you, that came so close to killing you and the group of 28 children you took care of, was your soulmate.

You knew nothing about what the Red Leader looked like, only seeing his helmet in posters nailed up to post all over the city, referring to him as the red devil that used the helmet to hide his horns. What you did know about the Leader was that he was a malicious man who built himself up on the fear people had for him. He gave no mercy to anyone and held no single regret. He loved the suffering he inflicted onto others who didn't worship him, and he never went easy on those who did him wrong.

If the stories that you've heard about him are true how could he be your soulmate? What have you done to deserve this? You were always told that your soulmate is someone you love no matter what, but this man was one pull of a trigger away from ending your life only a few moment ago.

The Red Leader's silver eyes met back with yours, after staring at your chest for an awkward amount of time. His look was unreadable. Was he happy? Was he mad? Was he nervous?

"I-I..." You try to say something, but you feel frozen. Your mind was still trying to reason that this wasn't real. Maybe you'd wake up any second in your bed, Tim and Toby watching the TV downstairs. You didn't wake up. Why was this happening?

The Leader walks over to you and puts a hand on your glowing chest, tracing around it with his fingers. You gasp a bit and move away "W-Woah there." You shutter holding your chest.

He notices your nervousness and chuckles a bit under his breath. He moves closer to you, his body nearly pressing against yours as he stares you down "You're my soulmate?" He asked rhetorically, bringing a cold metal hand to your cheek and tracing your cheekbones out with his thumb. You feel the spare hand tracing outlines around your chest, the glow between the two of you was almost blinding. It would have been romantic if he didn't just try to shoot your brains out.

You look away nervously and glance at the group of children in the corner, the ones you almost just died saving. They don't look to be so scared- they are more curious and shocked. They whisper to each other while staring at you.

Finally one of the Red Leader's own soldiers in the room hears something on a walkie-talkie, the one behind him with bushy eyebrows takes the small speaker and leaves the room for a moment, only to come back two minutes later "Sir, our troops on the east end were taken down. The Blue army men ambushed them with tanks, sir." He announces.

You hear the Leader sign a bit and step away from you "I told them they'd be idiots for proceeding with the mission. They fucking knew that both the Blues and Yellows met there, why would they risk something so stupid?" He says with a sigh "We should go back- set up a base here to treat the wounded, then we can head back to Norway and bring in more troops."

The solider besides him nods and the other looks over to you "What about her?" He asked curiously.

The Red Leader looks at you again and smirks a bit "Just leave the kids down here, someone will come looking for them. She's coming with us." He says calmly.
