(ON HOLD) Horns and Shadows // [demon AU]

1) After the Stream

Vincent/a6d POV//3rd POV
(It's both)

Vincent hadn't streamed or posted any videos for a while now. He was too busy with other things. Recently, his VISA was finally accepted, and he moved to Florida. That way he was closer to his friends, Zak and Darryl. His cat was also able to come with him to Florida, which he was happy about. He was renting a small house before deciding to buy one. It had taken him a long time, but he had finished setting up his new gaming setup. He was preparing to tell his fans the news in his next stream.

I had been streaming for a while now to tell my fans that I moved, and later decided to play some Minecraft. I looked at the time on my computer to see how long I've been streaming. It is almost midnight. I should really get a normal sleep schedule. I read off the last of the donations of my stream. "Bye, everyone!" I say before stopping the stream. I log off my computer.

I get up and walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I brushed my teeth I walked to my dresser to pick out a pair of clothes to sleep in. I find a pair of baggy gray pants and a white t-shirt. This will work. After changing into my clothes I went to my bed and laid down. After scrolling through Twitter for a while, I fell asleep.

Vincent suddenly woke up. I sat up and looked around my room to see what had woken me up. It was still dark outside, so I wasn't sure. Maybe the wind? No, it's not even windy outside.

I reached for my nightstand where I usually put my phone to charge. I realized I had fallen asleep with my phone. I blindly felt the floor the see if it had fallen off the bed. I found it and picked it up. I reluctantly grabbed my phone to check the time, since I still haven't bought a clock. I squinted, preparing for the blinding light of the phone. The phone turned on, shining a bright light in my eyes. I waited for my eyes to adjust to the light. I checked the time. It had only been about an hour. I set the phone on the nightstand and plugged it in to charge.

I decided to go get a drink of water before trying to go back to sleep. I got a bottle of water out of the fridge and drank a small sip. After getting a drink of water I went back to my room.

He was walking back to his bed when he saw a dark figure perched on the side of his bed. He couldn't get a close look at it, but he saw that it was a dark color with wings and a tail. It sat there almost motionless seemingly unaware of Vincent. The creature seemed to turn around and face him with glowing eyes, before disappearing into the shadows. What was that?

I sit down on my bed, wondering if I was going crazy or not. I decided to figure that out in the morning. I'm too tired to question my sanity. Eventually, his mind slowed down enough for him to fall back asleep.

The next morning I decided to call one of my friends and tell him about what I think I saw. I ate a quick breakfast and then called one of my friends.

"Hello, what do you want? I just woke up, give me 14 more minutes." A high-pitched voice answered.

"Zak! Stop with the memes, this is serious! Well, not really, but I want to talk about this thing I think I saw last night." I say slightly annoyed.

"Umm, ok, sure. Go ahead."

"So I woke up in the middle of the night, and went to get a drink of water-"

"So?" Zak questioned sarcastically.

"Let me finish! And when I went back to my room I saw this shadow-thing sitting on my bed."

"Shadow-thing?"

"Yeah. That's the best way I can describe it at least. But then it just disappeared."

"Are you sure you weren't just tired and seeing things? Or maybe you're just stressed out from moving."

"Maybe, I don't know. Thanks though!"

"You're welcome?"

"Hey, do you want to play some Minecraft later?" I ask, unintentionally changing the subject.

"Yeah sure, let me eat breakfast first. Bye then!" Zak said before hanging up.

"Wait but w- Oh he hung up."

I sigh before going to my desk to log into Minecraft. I boot up Minecraft and go  to Hypixel. He never told me how long he was going to take. I guess I'll play some minigames while I wait.

I played a few solo minigames before returning to spawn to wait for Skeppy. What is taking him so long? As I was jumping around spawn I suddenly felt a cold chill down my spine.

"I see you like Minecraft, a6d." A chilling voice hissed from behind me.

I turned around to see a demon-like creature staring back at me. That's the same thing from last night! I must not have been imagining it. I decided to try and ask it some questions.

"Who are you?" I asked. I still couldn't get a good look at the creature. It was as if I couldn't focus on it. Like it was blurred out.

"Who am I?" the demon repeated. "I'm you, but more than you will ever be."

"That doesn't explain anything!" I cried. What is that supposed to mean?!

"It will." The demon said before disappearing again.

"Wh- And it left. Why does this keep happening? What was that?" I said to myself, unsure of what I just witnessed.

I wonder if Zak is ready. I looked back at my computer to see a bunch of messages from Zak. Some from 30 minutes ago. I didn't take that long, did I?

Skeppy: hey
im ready
get on ts
im waitinbg
heloo
what ade you doinh
its ben 30 minuted

a6d: Im here
You're so impatient

Skeppy: wgat trok you so lomg
im on ts

I got on Teamspeak only to be greeted by a shouting Skeppy.

"What took you so long?!" Skeppy yelled.

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING!?" I screamed back.

"My EARRSSS! I wasn't even screaming that loud!"

"I know."

"Then why did you literally just KILL my ears?" Skeppy asked, annoyed.

"Cause it's fun." I laughed.

"Only for you! Not for the person being screamed at! Anyway, let's just start with playing some Bedwars. What do you think?"

"Sure!"

We played Bedwars, TNT run, and some other games before deciding that we should end the call.

"Bye Skeppy!" I called.

"Bye French Baguette!"

I laughed at the silly nickname before leaving the Teamspeak.
