[Crowley Eusford x Reader] Can Love be Forgotten?

Prologue

"So, today is the day we depart to Nagoya..." I sigh as I think to myself. I trace my ironwood nightstand to turn off the beeping alarm that reads 10:00 A.M. Today will not be one of those 'casual' days where my squad and I roam the city to slaughter the Four Horsemen of John. Today, we are expected to assassinate 15 vampire nobles--as if that's actually possible. Therefore, I kind of think of this as a suicide mission.

I get up to dress in my JIDA uniform, a long-sleeved black jacket and black shorts. I altered my uniform bottom to shorts since I felt like it's inefficient having to wear a skirt in combat. I took a deep deep breath to let some of my anxiety out before I leave my room.

"Well, aren't you up early for once!" Rika teases as she chuckles along with Yayoi.

"I figured I should get up early for once so I can prepare to protect you both today! Which I'll need coffee to do so," I yawn while grabbing the cup of black coffee Yayoi prepared for me.

Rika and Yayoi are my roommates, subordinates, and family. We all share an apartment-style dorm in Shibuya, where we serve the Japanese Imperial Demon Army as one of the many Moon Demon Company squad. We met after the apocalypse at an evacuation shelter on the way to Shibuya in search of people that could protect us. Since then, we have stuck together like sisters and had great luck joining the JIDA in pursuit of a better life.

"Beautiful weather outside! Don't you think?" Yayoi says as we lounge by our balcony.

"Yeah, perfect weather for a massacre," I sulk.

"C'mon (Y/N), it's what we have to do to live comfortably and ya'know.. they're filthy vampires." Rika points out.

I've never been fond of killing anyone, including vampires. Maybe I won't understand the hatred towards vampires because I've never been personally affected by one. My family was killed by the apocalypse and I've lost contact with friends I've known before it. I haven't had any of my comrades killed by a vampire either so... I never found a reason to exert hatred towards them. Most soldiers in JIDA speak so nonchalantly about killing vampires but it makes me feel sick and anxious having to end another's life, regardless of their race, desires, and history. But I also happen to be extremely athletic, coordinated and agile, making me a perfect candidate to assassinate vampires. It's very hypocritical and selfish of me to be disgusted in the act of killing however, I kill so that I can have shelter, food, and water. It's what I have to do to continue living in a world like this.

I hear about the terrible things vampires do, such as keeping children to feed off their blood in the Sanguinem, but it's not like humans are any better when it comes to caring for unfortunate and abandoned children outside of our gated and privileged community. If I was to hate vampires because they suck blood, I should also be hating my own kind because they've done some pretty horrendous stuff, such as abuse, rape, discrimination.. you name it. I've always had questions about JIDA and it's shady business concerning the apocalypse, but I'm sure I would be executed if I was to speak up about it. I've learned to keep to myself and follow all commands for the sake of my peace and well-being.

"Well, I guess we should go check if Taro and Shusaku are awake. You all ready to go?" I say as I get up from my seat. They nod and we make our way out of the room, secretly whispering farewell to this apartment that we might not come back to.
