Tom Trench × reader {Behind the Mask}

Ch. 4

(Y/N) Pov: 

I quickly flew over to the camera and shut it off to prevent anything else getting broadcasted.

I then summoned two shadow arms that shot out of the ground, capturing both the Princess and Katie, making sure to keep them away from each other. 

I flew over to the three camera operators and the white haired girl, summoning two large shadows who each grabbed the girls arms, holding her above the ground and preventing her from escaping their grasp. 

I summoned yet another shadow to go shut off the alarm and flashing light before quickly flying over to Lennix, grabbing the bucket of water from him and managing to fly over to Tom, dumbing the entire bucket of water on him and extinguishing the flames. 

The alarms and flashing lights were shut off and the entire studio was silent, save for the sounds of security going around and making sure everyone was alright. 

Katie had reverted back to her normal form, the Princess looking worried and guilty, her friend heaving angrily as my two shadows restrained her. Tom was scorched, nearly burned alive as he lay on the ground, dripping wet. Lennix was kneeling beside him, making sure he was alright. 

I flew over to Lennix and Tom, landing on the ground and kneeling beside the anchorman. 

“What the fuck happened!? How did Tom catch on fire?” I asked, turning Tom over so he was now laying on his back. 

The Gas Mask demon was groaning in pain as his eyes cracked open. 

“A-Am I dead….?” he asked groggily. 

“No, you’re alive. What-” I began to ask, but he interrupted. 

“Oh...I thought you were one of those beautiful Angels coming to take me away….” said Tom, sighing, his eyes closing. 

I was taken aback by the comment. 

Or was it a compliment?  

I blushed slightly, but shook my head. 

“What happened?” I asked, turning my gaze up to Lennix. 

The young Imp was looking nervous and worried. 

“I-I don't know how it happened since I wasn’t paying attention-” started Lennix, but I interrupted. 

“How do you not know what happened, damn it! YOU were in the studio at the time!” I said angrily, growling. I could care less about what happened to anyone in the studio, but I need to act the part and pretend to be worried about my 'coworkers'.

“I-I’m s-sorry ma’am. I-I was trying to break up the argument between one of the cameraman and the white haired girl. She punched him after the Princess announced the news about the Happy Hotel and their argument began getting too loud. I feared the audio would accidentally pick up their argument, so I went over to break them up. I wasn’t paying attention to what was happening between the anchormen and Princess” explained Lennix, looking worried that I might punch him. 

I sighed. 

“Make sure he’s alright. Call an ambulance as soon as possible” I say, getting up and quickly flying over to where Katie and the Princess were being held. 

“What the fuck happened here?” I asked angrily. 

“She started it” said Katie, pointing accusingly at the Princess before turning her face away, crossing her arms. 

“MY fault!? You all laughed at me and made fun of my song about redemption!” said the Princess, growling in anger. 

She sang a fucking song?
