Number 8 ~ FivexOC

13

After 8 had left the living room with Five and Hazel, she decided to go for a wander around the house but this was cut short when the front door began to open.

"Vanya!" She shouted as she ran into her arms to give her a big hug.

"Eight! Oh my gosh." Vanya was surprised to see 8 leaving the Academy.

"What are you doing here?" 8 asked with a curious look. There's never usually a good reason for her to be here.

"I came to see Allison and say sorry," Vanya said as she shut the front door behind her.

"Say sorry for what?" Number Eight asked as she placed her hand on Vanya's shoulder. She looked like she was about to say something when...

"Vanya," A soft voice came from the second floor. They both look up to see Luther.

"Is Allison..." Vanya responded in the same soft voice.

"She survived,"

"Thank god,"

"Survived what? Don't leave me out of this too," Eight was confused. She had no clue what had happened with Allison. She went against her better judgement and decided to use her mind-reading power. Vanya sliced Allison's throat with a... violin stick?

"We got into an argument. And things got out of control," She looked up at Luther who had made his way down the flight of stairs connecting the two floors. "I didn't mean to hurt her, please, believe me,"

"I do, but I think you should leave. She's resting now,"

"But, I want to see her! I want to apologise-"

"Hey, I've got to go somewhere right now but I'll come back and maybe we can go see her then?" Number 8 interrupts. She could tell that this wasn't going anywhere so she'd rather just leave than have a back and forth argument with Luther.

"Sure, that would be nice," Vanya responded and pulled 8 into a hug to say bye.

"Well, I guess I'll meet you some other time Luther, Bye Vanya," She stated as she made her way to the door. She didn't really have anywhere to go, so she sat on the steps outside the door just watching people walk past.

That was until a lady stopped in front of her.

"Uh... hi. Can I help you?" Number 8 balls her fists next to her, ready if this lady tries anything.

"You're just the person I wanted to see!" The woman removes he sunglasses. 8 finally took notice of the details of her face. She had a large red scar leading from her neck up until her lip. It made her look like a doll with a crack.

"And you are...?" She asked.

"You can call me The Handler," The Handler put out her hand for 8 to shake. She reluctantly takes it and they shake quickly.

"What do you want from me?" She questioned the lady.

"You're friends with a boy named 5, right?" Just at the mention of his 'name', she felt quite flustered.

"What do you want with him?" She askes, quite protective almost. The woman noticed this and just smiled a little wider.

"He's planning on doing something rather stupid if you ask me. My only request of you is to let me know when he does that stupid thing," She had a strong sense of deja vu flood over her.

"It's going to be hard to decide which one of the stupid things he does is the one you're after,"

"He's going to attempt to time travel again. Here's my card. If you decide you wanna help me, send a message to the number on it," And there it is again. He has a habit of time travelling and Number 8 chasing after him.

"What do I get out of it?"

"You get to ruin his plans. What more would you want?" And with this, the woman places her sunglasses back onto her face and begins to head off. She stood for a moment taking it all in and realising what she was being asked of... again. A feeling of anger rose through her. There's no way in hell I'm gonna help that random chick.

She shook herself out of her head and stood up from the step when the door behind her opened. She was expecting it to be Vanya but when she turned she saw him.

"Oh Hey! Five!" She walked over to him and waved at him with a wide smile.

"I need to talk to you," he looked at her dead in the eyes with a voice of concern and irritation.

"Yeah, about what?"

"The woman you were talking to just now, I need you to never speak to her again. If you see her, go the other way. Better yet, run. Sprint if you have to,"

"Woah woah woah. Since when did you have a say in who I can and can't talk to?" She fired back, quickly becoming annoyed at him

"Since you were talking to people who you shouldn't be messing with,"

"I think you should shut up-" She began to say with a laugh before being cut off.

"Why don't you understand?! I'm telling you to not talk to someone bad! Take the hint! I swear people these days,"

"People these days?" A scoff came from her mouth followed by a frustrated sigh from 5.

"People like you who don't know what's good for them," He said, pointing his index in her direction.

"To think I actually wasn't going to go behind you back and then you treat me like this,"

"Look, I'm sorry. I just- I know her and I know that you shouldn't be talking to her because you could get involved in things you don't-"

"I get it ok. And I can handle myself so, I'm just gonna go," She cried out of desperation. Why can't he just mind his own damn business?

"Eight! Please!"

"No. I'm going. If you want to see me again, don't be an idiot,"

"What does that even mean?"

"Buh-bye Five, buh-bye," She leaves and Five is just left standing confused and stunned. He didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, Eight was in such a fury. She was just about ready to kill anyone who even walked near her.  Ah, my head. He clutched her head as a throbbing pain filled it.

She was getting a flash of the future. It hasn't been a while since this has happened. She could see a white violin. A big flash of light and... ben? She had no idea what any of that meant. It confused her. Maybe it connected to what that lady mentioned? No, it couldn't be. Maybe Five knows. No. I shouldn't turn around to ask him.

"Five! Wait!" Eight had turned back around and shouted to grab his attention.

"So you finally want to talk?" He said as he turned around with

"You know what never mind," She stated, being sick of him already.

"No, sorry. I'll shut up,"

"Anything new about the apocalypse?"

"Why do you ask?" He looked at her with curious yet cautious eyes. She paused before speaking. How do you even say this?

"I just had a vision. It was just three images but I think they mean something. The first was a white violin and then it was a big white flash-explosion thing and then..." He looked at her face and noticed she began to tear up. "B-Ben. I saw Ben again,"

"Ben? What would he- VANYA!"

"What? What about Vanya?"

"Shit I- You stay here I have to go do something,"

"I'm gonna help you Five!"

"No. You. Are. Not. Stay here or I'll kill you," He yelled. She was taken aback by his threat to kill her. She was shocked. He could clearly see the hurt painted on her face and quickly tried to apologise.

"No. Don't even think about it. Bye Five. Also, fuck you," And with her ending statement, she spun on her heels and left in a hurry. He was left speechless but he had things to deal with so 8 became the least of his worries.
