Super Secret~ A Villain's Story

17

The moment I walked into the room I could hear my computer going off. A skype call... I plopped down onto my bed and groaned. I slammed my hand down on the laptop keyboard and heard the sound of it accepting. Again Ii just groaned. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to rip everything apart but I stayed absolutely silent. I quickly hit the video button making it so they couldn't see me and proceeded to undress. I was still in my villain outfit.

"Cassidy... are you there?" Roman was the first one to speak this time surprisingly. I just frowned... Why did I accept the call? I am not in the mood to talk. "Caz?"

"Y-Yeah... I'm here. Just... g-give me a moment." My voice was hoarse and scratchy. I didn't like how shaky I sounded either. I sounded like I was about to cry... I probably was now that I think about it. The man I love... knows who I am. He knows... If they hurt him. I will lose it. 

"What's wrong kiddo?" I smiled hearing Pat's voice as I threw on a hoodie and sweatpants. I grabbed my white mask and internally cursed at myself. I left my black one with Logic. "Kiddo?"

"Sorry..." I put it on and walked back over to my bed, switching the camera back on. They all frowned seeing me and I just looked at my over video. I looked sick. My face, or whatever you could see outside the mask, was red and puffy but also pale. I looked terrible. I felt terrible. "I'm f-fine."

"Cassidy, you are not..." I saw everyone jump as the sound of someone slamming the door came through the video. Logan must have been out. 

"I am sick of this shit. I am tired of him. I'M DONE!" I could hear him yell through the house and Patton frowned. I saw Logan walk into the living room holding a bottle and I frowned. He stumbled slightly as he landed on the couch and Patton just glared at him. "As Pat, I am drunk. No Pat, I am not going to tell you. What are you..." He looked at the computer and started to shake. 

"Well, I'd say it's not g-good to drink b-but..." I frowned pulling the hood over me looking away. "But considering I-I was d-doing the same thing..." I sighed and pulled the strings wishing I could just hide. "...I really have n-no right to say anything." Logan narrowed his eyes and frowned at me.

"You're studdering. You've never studdered." I shook my head and he raised an eyebrow at me

"E-E-very o-one studders w-when things g-get to much." He scoffed and rolled his eyes drinking more out of his bottle and I frowned.

"Ok, well that's all... depressing, but we have a project to go over." Roman was looking really uncomfortable and I sighed.

"I really don't feel like..."

"What the hell happened to Deceit?" I tensed up as Logan blurted it all out letting his hand fall and knocking the bottle into the table.

"What?" Patton was trying to take the bottle from him as Virgil stared intently into the camera, worry evident in his eyes. 

"Deceit... He has a past right?" I looked away as Virgil started to nod. "I want to know what it is."

"I don't think he's the type of person..." I started but Logan cut me off.

"I. want. to know. what it is." He glared at me and I started to get uneasy. What is up with him? Why is he being so... aggressive? Virgil started typing away and I tensed up. 

'What brought all this on, Logan?' Virgil was clearly happy about the subject, unlike me, but he was concerned as well. I don't want people digging into my past. Especially not Virgil. God forbid he remembers anything. 'It isn't something that most remember."

"Remember... Remember what?" I started to silently freak out and everyone glanced over at me. I wanted to turn it all off. I just went through all that shit with Logic, the last thing i want...

'Bloodborne.' My eyes went wide and I froze. Like literally froze. My blood felt like ice. I didn't do it. I swear I didn't. He killed them. I was just trying to bring him down. I didn't kill him. Their deaths aren't my fault. I didn't do anything. Why? Why are you... Why?

"Why?" I said it out loud without meaning to and could feel my eyes start to burn. "Why would you bring him up?"

'You remember him?' I didn't move. I didn't do anything at all. I could here Patton starting to freak out, asking where I lived. He said he would come over and help me since I was obviously panicking but they don't understand. They'd never understand. 'Cassidy?'

"Remember him? You're ask me... You're asking me if I remember the villain that... that killed..." My body started to shake involentarily and Virgil's eyes went wide.

'Oh my god, I am so sorry. I didn't realize that that was you. I never should have said anything.' 

"My parents... my little sister... everyone... Of course I remember that asshole. I remember everything. I remember that day... the lake... the fucking press!" Images passed through my head and i wanted nothing more than to physic rip them all out of my head. But that isn't humanly possible. Trying would get myself in a mental hospital, or worse.

"Caz?" Logan's voice had gone soft but I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to... I wanted him. I wanted him to hold me. I wanted him to tell me it was ok. I wanted to feel safe. All I could see was that horrid smile that made my skin crawl. I wanted to see his instead. "Cassidy, what..."

"Who cares about his fucking past? Who cares about those damn six years he's been out there?" Logan narrowed his eyes and Roman looked confused. "Six years... It's nothing compared to other Villains maybe you should focus on them instead of Deceit."

"Six years. Deceit's only been around for 5." I looked down and Roman looked around even more confused. "What am I missing something? I swear he's only been around for 5 years." Virgil shook his head and I frowned. He knows then... about that first year... how much... How much does he remember?

'Deceit first appeared Febuary 3rd 6 years ago. The first time Bloodborne ever attacked.'
