Being alone had its perks. You had silence and solitude. Calm and orderly environment. And SOOOO much free time. The only thing that was bad was that everyone looks at you in pity. And I mean EVERYONE. So what happens when women from the underworld...
I turn around to see if Issei was there. It turns out he wasn't. Just someone that looked like him. I shake my head as I order my drink. I stare at the bar counter in discontent.
"An illusion y/n?" I turn to my left to see my past self. This one represented concern.
"Yes. I have been wondering how rias and the others are doing right now. I wonder if they are happy or sad." I say.
"It is indeed a mind eating question. This question is eating away at you. You seek the answer but you are too afraid to find it." My past self says.
"I'm too afraid to face them. I'm too afraid to see what they think of me." I say.
"Yes. The answer is unnerving to say the least. But knowing what they think of you is better than not knowing at all. At least you'll know the answer instead of wondering for the rest of your life." He says.
"Y/n. I'm worried for you. You have been like this ever since Pandemonica and the others have joined you. So many doubts are infecting you and questions are flooding your mind." He says.
"It's okay. I have lived like this for the past three years. If I haven't died yet then I can continue without finding the answer. Besides, it's best if they don't see me ever again." I say.
"Here ya go y/n. Your (favorite drink) don't worry it's on the house." Jack says as he hands me the drink.
I look to my left to see that the spot was empty. I begin to drink away as I get lost in my own thoughts. I was going my life memories until a flash came to me.
I saw nothing but darkness. It was pitch black. But then I saw multiple lights forming all around me. I didn't what they were but there was a flash again and I was back in the real world again.
"What was that?" I ask myself.
I look around to everyone still here. So it was a memory. But a memory of what?
"Hey y/n you alright?" Jack says as he cleans some cups.
"Yeah. Just some memories that's all." I say to him.
He nods as he goes back to tending the bar. Later in they day we all gathered around for some music contest. The winner gets one day of free beer.
Naturally we all joined the contest to have fun ignoring the prize. So we just listened to people play their best and eventually some won the contest. We all cheered for her and we left to go home.
Getting into my truck I see crazy Carl walking towards me I roll down my window to speak to him.
"Hey there crazy Carl what brings you to me at this time?" I ask him.
"Lishen er y/n. During my trip I caught wind o somin. Ya see it has to do with them past girls." He said making my eyes widen.
"They are catchin wind o yer scent y/n. They are putting pieces together and they are gettin closer. The only piesh o evidence that they need ish yer boat. The one you took after your slaughter." He says in a panic.
"Shit. If they find it they'll find me." I say. Crazy Carl nods his head.
"That's why I'll take it and haul that tramp away from ye. If they connect it with me they completely loose yer scent. You'll be scot free. I'll take it tonight and drive it to my hideout." He says.
"Thanks crazy Carl. I don't know what I do without you." I say to him.
"Ye be facing the wrath o the scorned women without me." He says bluntly.
"I owe you big time for this Carl I'll see you if you make it out alive." I say as we drive off to my home.
When we made it Carl got on the boat and road off. He said that when he fooled rias and the others he will drive back on his truck after destroying the boat.
I walk in being greeted by the girls. I greet them back and I decided to sit on the couch and relax. They almost found me. I don't know what might've happened if I encountered them. Best to leave that unanswered.
After that the rest of the day felt slow and tense. When Lucifer and the girls fell asleep I pulled out my phone to call Carl.
After a few rings he picked it up.
But it wasn't the voice of Carl I was hoping to hear.
"Now who are you? And tell me where is y/n?" It was rias! Shit!
Time paused for a moment. I need a way out of this. So right now she thinks I'm someone else so I need to lose her interest or draw it somewhere else. So came up with an idea.
Using a lighter tone I began talking like crazy Carl.
"Well howdy doo dere! You ain't my best friend Carl!" I yell in the most retarded way possible.
"Now tell me where is my best friend Carl. We was bout to find Bigfoot up in dem mootains. So why do you have is Nokia walkie talkie?" I continue.
I am searching for someone. Someone very close to me. I-I want to see if he is alright. I-I m-miss him dearly." She says in a saddened tone. I couldn't see it but she was crying.
Nevertheless I needed to lose her.
"Well shucks missy. I ain't knowing who yer looking for but I pray to my gator that he is doin just fine." I say she giggles a bit.
"I hope so too. You know he always managed to make me smile just what you did." Shit.
"Well maybe if you find him me, Carl and him can find Bigfoot together!" I say but now comes the fun part.
"Have you ever wondered how big Bigfoot's actual feet er? They are giants themselves missy! Now let me tell an hour long story!" She just hangs up right there and then. Success!
After about an hour I drove to Carl's hideout to see him sitting on his chair.
"Hey Carl." I say to him.
"Ey there friend! They left just like I said. They couldn't find you anywhere." He says. We then sit on his porch looking out into the night sky.
"Thank you." I say softly. He turns his head to look at me.
"Thank you for protecting me from her." I say more clearly." He smiles.
"No problem brother. I knew that you wanted the best for her. You really have a pure heart under that darkness." He says in a normal voice. He removed his beard and his make up to reveal his true self.
His name crazy Carl was just a disguise to hide himself like what I once did.

"Ever since you came to our town we knew right away. You wanted to run away from her for a reason. You doubt yourself for many reasons. But what we all can agree on is that deep down your a good man. No what how much you insult yourself." He says.
"I don't know about that Carl but thank you again." We share a bro hug before we went our separate ways for the night.
