Escape Artist [JJBA Villains x reader]

Chapter 37

You watched as Doppio's body began to change its shape as Pucci began to make his way over to shield you, Diavolo shoved the priest away as he glared at you in pure rage, he took a hold of your neck, he was holding you in a chokehold as he began to yell at you, "what did you do to my Doppio?! What did you do to make him rebel against me?!" He yelled at you as you tried to free yourself from the man's grip.

"Take your hands off of her!" Pucci shouted in anger, as Diavolo snapped his gaze on him, "you stay out of this!" Diavolo said as he returned his gaze on you, as you were struggling to breathe your stand had come out to protect you, it took aim towards Diavolo and shot an arrow at him, which made him dodge like he knew it would happen and let go of you.

You coughed as you held your neck, you watched as Diavolo looked at you, before he moved his hands to hold his head, he looked like he was having an extreme headache, "how are you making him do this?" He asked you in a low voice.

"what's the situation?" Diego asked as he came up to the deck, looking sick, "you shut the fuck up." Diavolo yelled at him before he began to back off, as Pucci had made his way to stand in front of you, he ended up falling off the ship into the water.

"We need to get them up, who knows what is in these waters!" You said in a frantic voice, "are you sure he looked like he was ready to kill you." Diego stated, the three of you could hear Doppio call out in a panicked voice, "he changed to his alternative side! We need to get Doppio out of there!" You yelled, "are you sure?" Diego asked as he heard the water splash, he turned to look at Pucci who only nodded at him, sighing he went to help the pink-haired boy up, he watched as Doppio raised his hand up from the water as he struggled to keep himself up, Diego took a hold of his hand and pulled him up to the ship that was now moving slightly slower.

"There you go-" Diego was cut off as another hand emerged from the water and took a hold of him, Doppio kept coughing as he tried to make his way towards you, "there's a man in the water and he tried to drown me!" He yelled in fear.

Diego watched as Diavolo rose from the water and got on the ship, the jockey backed away and glared at him, "now how the fuck is this possible?" Diego yelled as Pucci and you observed, you had made your way to comfort the shaking Doppio as Diavolo kept glaring at you, ready to come to attack you again, Diego stepped in front of him and got ready to punch him but it was like time had changed as Diavolo simply walked past him, leaving the jockey look at him in confusion.

"Don't attack her!" Doppio yelled at the man, Diavolo seemed to stop as he watched Doppio, "I don't know who you are but I won't let you attack her!" He yelled as you hold him in your arms.

Diavolo seemed to be in thought before he scoffed, he walked towards the door that led under the deck, he glanced at you for one last time with a glare that wasn't as hateful as the others he had given you before he made his way under the deck.

You sighed in relief, as Doppio kept asking you if you were alright, Pucci seemed to be in deep thought as he watched the door.

Diego seemed to be restless now as he made sure to check the back of your neck, you were sitting as he observed the wound, you flinched as you felt him lick it. "What are you doing?" You asked as Pucci turned to glare at the jockey, "oi don't move, I've heard that this helps," he said as he tried to keep you still, "oh! He's using saliva! Doesn't it help with the healing?" Doppio asked innocently, "You got it, lad! This is what we would do back in my world and time, it keeps the wound from getting infected too," he said as he smirked at you, Pucci was giving him a death glare the entire time.

After some time, you found yourselves in a place known for its 19th-century Romanticist architecture, historic estates & villas, gardens, and numerous royal palaces & castles, Sintra.

Diavolo had been under the deck for a long time, he had been cursing himself for letting Doppio get so close to you, he did feel emotions towards you, hatred and love, he hated himself for it, because love one time had brought him to his doom.

He could hear movement above the deck, he should follow after Doppio, that meant to follow after you, Doppio was like a lovesick puppy, Diavolo had felt the emotions Doppio had felt towards you, especially the moment in the theater, he moved his hand to his face, feeling his cheeks grow red in pure embarrassment, he was supposed to be a deadly mafia boss, but his other side made him seem like a fool.

The moment in the car with you was also what he blamed Doppio for, that's what he kept telling himself of course. His mind seemed to be in a mess, 'We move like cagey tigers, we couldn't get closer than this, the way we walk, the way we talk, the way we stalk, the way we kiss-' yeah, he needed to stop listening to 'The Cure.' That was also his weakness, but 'Love Cats' was a good song, that he could admit.
