The Sleeping Siren (Jotaro X Reader)

Ch. 14: Merciful Crow

     The toilet explodes in a fury of heat and mist, and the fact that I summoned my stand to guard me from the burns and I still got scolded tells me this was a premeditated attack done by a stand user. I'm screaming in pain as my flesh gets burned by the water and grab the door handle to leave only to scold my hand on the burning metal and flinch.
   Son of a whore, I can't believe that in my artificial security I allowed myself to be in a situation like this. This stand obviously can manipulate and create heat I realise as boiling water and reaking stench starts to heat the room like a death suana. I would gag if my adrenaline wasn't running through my blood. My stand charges through the bathroom door and takes me with her and by the time we're out the floor of the bathroom is flooded with dangerously boiling water and hot steam. I'm panting and the sun is setting. I want to cry with the pain I feel but if I do I'll die. This stand user I'm assuming plans on only killing me off, if their goal was to follow us to the foundation's hiding place then he wouldn't have waited for us to go to the gas station, but then agian how did he know we'll be here? This stand is strong so the stand user has to be near. We're in the middle of no where and my first instinct is to run further away from the gas station where things can explode, as long as I don't lose the road I won't get lost. I'm sprinting into the rapidly cooling sunset and the stand follows me. Damnit, the stand user is no where to be seen. The stand of midnight black and a crown of rigid spikes sprints faster than I am and is close to catching up. I'm already several meters away from the gas station, the stand user isn't going to be here, I just have to hope that me defeating this stand wll distract the user enough for me to run. Damnit, how did no one hear me scream bloody murder already?
   This stand is already so many meters close to me and I have no more time to think. In a flurry of adrenaline and vast dessert I order my stand tackle the enemy stand, when she does my neck and shoulders and arms are burnt raw and I scream. My stand's tackle is futile when she goes to bash the stand's head when he sinks into the heat of the dirt. He can travel through heat now! The stand appears behind me in an instant, but in that same instant I feel him about to attack me my stand jumps behind me and grabs his head and throws him into the shady side of a rock. I had my stand make as minimal contact to the stand for myself not to get burnt, but I still hiss at the sting of the burn to my fingers. The stand trembles to get up and I see it, his weakness, it's shade. I have to somehow get this stand to bring me to it's user or reveal where he is. I'm so relieved that this is over so soon, I don't think I'll be able to survive more burns. My stand and I get to the stand and without thinking my stand's arm reaches out and grasps the stands neck. That night on the roof with Jotaro, that same night he ripped a meteor out of my back, he told me stands are at their best when the user can clearly breathe, and what I had to learn the hard way is that whatever ability is inflicted onto the stand inflicts onto the user. God, its times like these where I wish my only ability wasn't being multilingual. How the hell am I supposed to find this damn stand user? Maybe if I beat the shit out of this stand badly enough I'll be able to find the stand user beaten and bloody in the 7Eleven.
   I'm bashing the stand's head into the rock when I'm grasped behind my neck with a blistering wave of heat with the power of a thousand suns. I cry out and tremble before I have my stand punch the other stand to the ground. It was only a few nanosecond, but my skin is blistered beyond repair. When I turn around there are maybe a dozen copies of the stand, but I don't have enough time to count every one as they all come at me. My anxiety increases along with my sensitivity and blood pressure when my fight or flight kicks in. My stand does her best but both her durablity and the other stands' are phenomenal. My hands are blistered and burned along with everywhere my stand has been grabbed or attacked with and although the dessert is supposed to be cold by the time the sun is at it's last minutes I feel like I'm being cooked alive. Why hasn't anyone came yet? It's that moment I realise that if there are this many stands on me... how many are attacking the Limo.
   I'm running. Running through the grabbing hands of the stands and having my own stand throw them off me and make me sprint faster. I can't have them be hurt. Not Mr. Joestar, not his grandson, not Avdol... and not Kakyoin. I'm lost in thought when suddenly the gas station explodes. No... NO! They cannot be hurt. Not them, not my friends, not my truest friends! My heart aches and I'm sprinting so fast on the burning sand that my sneakers must be destroyed with how hot they feel. I'm able to make out the Limousine whitch is set aflame and all I can think about is them. About how Mr. Joestar comforted me in detention, Avdol's caring smile, Jotaro and how he held me as I cried, and Kakyoin and how stupid happy he looked when I told him his "cherry fetish" was extreme. My pain. I wish time could stop and allow me to cry from my misery, but that's far too kind for the universe.
   I trip and fall and scrape all of my burns on the imperfect rocks, I stand but through tears of rage while I painfully bite back a sob. I will not run. I will avenge them. Like that my wish was answered an time stopped. I'm in a rush of confusion but shove it down as I realise that the enemy stands have realised they are frozen. In this instant I can feel them, not as stands but as one person, the user. I shout to the user, "WHERE IS YOUR CHICKEN SHIT ASS! FACE ME LIKE THE FUCKING MAN YOU ARE!" I'm boiling through the pain and confusion with anger, and my cry is from the bottom of my heart.
   The user trembles through waves of emotion that I feel as if they were my own, but he arrogantly scoffs, "come and find me for yourself little girl."
   I march to the nearest stand before grabbing it by the neck with my stand and throwing it into the ground and crushing the user's blood circulation short, I'm furious and see red as if I were a bull charging at a taunting flag. "I will kill you here, and I'll fuck myself on your grave if you don't tell me how the fuck you found me!" I growl this time like a blood hungry predator.
   The man practically shits himself. In this universe- my universe there only exists true heartfelt thoughts and language. What I promise is no bluff. "I-I'm homeless please, I needed a quick job-"
   As if they all became one, the stands are picked up and thrown into the rocky imperfect ground that cut me and made me bleed. The stand user chokes, "you disgust me you old fuck you know that? Tell me now, how did you find me?"
   The homeless man is terrified and regretful and really does believe he'll die as karma for his past, "Dio will kill me-"
   "And I will show you no mercy!"
   He's crying, and I would feel bad but I don't, he was willing to kill his own people, and for what? Another dollar to rent a whore? "D-D-D-" he can't get his words out. I wait impatiently for the bastard, "Dio stationed me here," he trembles like a fawn, "he stationed a series of people to look for you and your crusaders." Crusaders. I love how that sounds.
   "Well, Nick Frazcovf," he trembles and I could laugh, this rat doesn't even know that in my world I know everything about him. I know he burnt women he raped beyond recognition with his stand Merciful Crow. I know how he stole his Russian mafia boss's car. Ha, I know how he'd beat his daughter and make his wife watch, how he killed the only daughter his wife will ever be able to bare because her loving husband had sniffed crack from the cleavage of a whore and came home to mindlessly shoot her daughter in her 17 year old face, and I know how his coward ass is wanted back in Russia because of it. I also know that this shit dick bastard feels like he's the victim in every sin he committed, "I'll make sure Dio says hi for me when you get to hell." And like that my stand ripped his frozen head from his body, and his stand vanished like evaporatedwater.
