To The Void [kth X reader]

The boy kept running till his lungs begged for oxygen and his feet burned with the speed. He finally stopped infront of the store room door and knocked three times in a pattern. The door slowly creaked open, giving a glance of nothing but darkness inside. He entered apprehensively and recoiled when the door shut with a loud bang. Suddenly, a bag was put over his head.

"What do you want?" a gruff voice from his left called out. 

"I want to meet Orcus....." he said, which sounded more like a question.

"Why?"

"I have some information for him."

There was shuffling around him and then someone grabbed his arm and took him somewhere further inside.

He couldn't understand why his face was covered when it was pitch black in the surroundings.

The ding of the elevator snapped him out of his thoughts and he was pushed inside. The only thing he knew was they were going underground, because a small store room wouldn't be a potential Mob Lair.

After what seemed like a long journey, the bag was removed from his head. He stood in a middle of a huge room, with just a extravagant table and a leather swivel chair with a high back. Behind it was a number of guns, grenades and other armory hanging on the wall.

The chair turned dramatically, bringing Orcus in his vision. His silver-dyed hair were pushed back and secured with a rubber band, a few strands falling on his face. Due to poor lighting, his eyes weren't visible and looked nothing but a dark patch, giving the boy chills all over his body.

"Deltis, my boy!" he greeted, his voice deep and husky, almost sounding like a snake hissing. "What brings you here?"

The addressed boy blinked several times, gulping to soothe his now dry throat. "I met a guy today......he had the same coin that you described."

Orcus dropped his smile and set his lips in a thin line. He leaned forward, his hands coming infront of his face as he joined his finger tips. "Do you have it?"

Deltis hurriedly took out the coin and passed it to one of his men, who gave it to Orcus.

He hummed, interested in the small coin and carefully studying each and every detail of it.

"Did he say something?" his voice came out softer, but still cold.

"Y-yes, he said he lost his family in the area and was looking for them. So I showed him a guest house to stay for a while."

"And exactly how many did he state?"

"Two, a guy and a girl."

"Were there anymore people with him?" he asked, a small smile playing on his lips.

"No...."

Orcus now burst into a fit of maniacal laughter, his pearl white teeth resembling a predator's. Deltis flinched a bit and started to grow increasingly uncomfortable, his stomach churned in an uneasy knot.

"Oh my dear.....they really think they can outsmart us." he laughed a bit more, now joined by his minions as well. "Now now Deltis.....I have some work for you."

The boy nodded, unable to hide his trembling limbs.

"If you find a guy and a girl, who aren't from around here, take them to the safe house. You escorted the coin guy to the guest house, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Great."

A few moments passed before he stood up and came infront of his desk. "You did good, Deltis, we'll take care from here."

"S-sir, what a-about m-my-----"

"Grandpa?"

Deltis nodded once again.

"Don't worry, we'll send him the food." he confirmed. "Westor? Send him back with some food, will you?"

A huge guy walked from the corner before grabbing hold of the boy and taking him back.

When he left, Orcus unbuttoned his coat and moved towards the small bar to pour himself some whiskey.

"What are you thinking Cussy?" a deep voice echoed from the corner.

"As you can see, the players have arrived, Gantis. I just wanna pay them a visit." he said innocently, turning around and sipping his drink.

Gantis scoffed and plopped down on the couch in the corner. "You mean to kill them?"

"Oh brother, why are you so violent? I would never do that!" he exclaimed.

"Uh huh? Then?" he motioned him to go on.

A malicious smile formed on Orcus's lips. "I heard Candidus is quite ravishing."

The elder rolled his eyes before smiling as well. "And I heard they got some really good looking boys too."

"You have your enjoyment and I'll have mine. Win-win."

"And later?" Gantis raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm." Orcus tilted his head upward in deep thought. "I'll take their stones and maybe.....become powerful? I don't know. Never got that far."

"They got some pretty good powers though, you think the queen would let us out in exchange of the stones?"

Orcus sighed. "Maybe? But I really have gone ten years without some good human torture, so I'll take full advantage of that first."

"You are sick."

"You are sicker."

Gantis smirked and eyed his younger brother. "You know, I may try your ways this time. It would give me immense pleasure to see the bearer of white stone under our control."

"There you go big brother, cheers to sadism!" he raised his glass to Gantis. Before he could chug the remaining drink, the elder stopped him before adding on.

"Cheers to our demons, Orcus."
