caughtinanetwork | [Dream] All I have is what you didn't take

[It's dark and the only sound is footsteps as Johnny makes his way to...something. As he walks, a whisper of a word is heard, the voice is both effeminate and masculine.]

-ddie

Addie...

Play with me....Addie.

[A look of pure horror flashes across Johnny's face and he starts running. His footsteps slow as he approaches a pair of bodies. The blood pools around the head and neck of Madison, her eyes wide, and Serph, torn to bits, nearby. Pain crosses Johnny's face and he keeps running.]

You know the story, Addie... God made Adam, the first man, and then he made Eve from one of Adam's ribs. God made his creation a companion.

Is that what you want, my Adam? A companion? I could make you an Eve.

[The next body he finds is Rayfell's, her beautiful face peaceful while her stomach is torn open, one rib pulled out. A few feet away, Charley lays with his head separate from his body and their blood seems to mingle to make a lake rather than a puddle and the voice continues.]

You are my new and improved Adam, Addie...heaven doesn't deserve you...that's why you're mine...

[Tears flow freely down the vampire's face as he comes across Katsu with his throat torn out and Sola nearby, a fist-sized hole in his stomach. The voice is getting louder as Johnny gets closer.]

You have to understand, Addie...you belong with me and me alone...these people...they're nothing. I'm the only one you need.

[As if turning a corner, a very androgynous looking man stands, blood covered, with the mutilated body of Crowley at his feet and a dying Jacob in his hands.]

Addie....you'll see...you're mine. You are property of Belial...and you know it.

[As the demon drops Jacob's lifeless body, Johnny rushes forward to catch him and kneels down into Crowley's blood on the ground, sobbing. Belial only smiles.]

Addie....you love me, don't you?

[Belial steps forward and rips Jacob from Johnny's grasp, and lays a hand on the vampire's face as the other moves to pin his wrists down and lower them both to the ground. Before anything can happen, the dream goes dark and Belial's voice grows quieter as Johnny starts to wake.]

It's time to play, Adiie....let's have some fun...

[Johnny sits up from his bed with a gasp, the same horrified expression he had in his dream twisting his face before tears spring to his eyes and he buries his face in his hands to try and stop them.]

[Instinctively, a small, fake, smile works its way to his lips...for a second, then it falls. He won't try that here, not on Katsu.]

.....I'm not....I'm afraid.

[He flips a filter on.]

That's okay. Just don't let it be all you are. I'm here. So is everyone else. And we won't let anything happen to you.

[... Curious kid is curious though aklsjdf sorry.]

Is... his name really Belial?

[Anything happen to him? He's more concerned about those in his dream....but he doesn't push.

As for the question..he doesn't mind too much.]

Yeah...Back...back when I was human, Belial fell for me and, when I got injured, he offered to save me by turning me into what I am now.

[He gives a bitter laugh.] Of course, I didn't know all the strings...but I was dying and desperate.

That's- [He pauses but shakes his head, it's not like he's really revealing anything that hasn't already been shown in this dream.]

That's why he calls me Adam. He's always had a bit of a God complex and, well, he made me.

I see.

[... Oh geez. That nickname. But he's trying to stay positive. In fact, have a little bit of a smile.]

That makes things easier.

[There's a brief spark of light and then there's a flame floating in Katsu's hand. He stares at it a moment before extinguishing it.]

I know it's not the same world, but... I have Belial's power. I beat him in my world and took it. So... you don't have to worry. If he shows up here, I'll take care of it.

[He's still uncertain about Katsu being in that sort of danger, but he's comforted a bit by the fact he, at least, seems to know who Belial is.]

...I don't want to see you hurt.

Although it was just a dream....it was very accurate. If he were to show up here, that is what he would do.

[Johnny was a danger to everyone he loved. It was almost enough to make him want to pull away from everyone.]

I know you don't. But I've fought a lot of things... I'm not scared of him. I'll burn him up with his own fire.

[He shakes his head.]

And you know people here would never let that happen. I wouldn't, and I know a lot of people on the defense force would pitch in too.

[He sighs.]

I want to believe you. And...I know you're right.

.....thank you.

You're welcome. That's what friends are for, right?

Right.

[What would he do without you?]
