Living in a Nightmare
Young witch Artemis has homicidal demons that are possibly on the brink of becoming Kishin running loose around the city she lives in. She can't contact DWMA or the other witches for help. So who does she want for help? Death the Kid. Her perfect hero. But she is the most asymmetric witch and Kid refuses to associate with her. So she resorts to forceful methods to make him go nuts over her. Liz and Patty notice his disappearance and it's up to the gang to save him. Will they find him in one piece or will they fall victim to the demons that haunt Artemis' home?
I raced to my hut with little breath to spare. The sun is going down quicker than I thought. The moment the sun and the moon touch the horizon, they start roaming our home in search of victims.
Oh, I should introduce myself. I'm Artemis. Like the Greek goddess of the hunt. I'm a witch. Or… A witch in training in the very least. The witch council doesn't really approve of me because I don't follow most of their expectations and I'm not a full witch because of that. And for a while now, my city has been invaded by demons.
They're tall hooded creatures that reek of death. They bring terror and fear and they drain all the joy out of us. We have to be in our homes before dark. Hiding from them isn't very easy. If we're outside, we have to blend ourselves into nature as best as we can with nature and we can't move a muscle until they're far away from us. We can't even breathe.
I've seen some people lost in the woods and they were unable to hide from them. They took them away or I sometimes seen the demons mutilate them and devour their souls. I use my soul protect constantly without using any form of magic. That's part of the reason why I'm not a full witch because I don't use magic let alone magic for fun. So anyway, I'm afraid they'll eat my soul. I could somehow contact the DWMA but then again… I'm so freakin' screwed.
I close my pink curtains of my living room and slink into my room where my hero is there waiting to comfort me. He's perfect. Strong, handsome, precise and so on. Death the Kid. Son of Shinigami-sama. I sigh as I glance at his perfect form. Just seeing his cool, level headed expression makes my heart melt. If he were here, I bet he would kill those things for good.
One day, I swear he's gonna be mine. I've been working on a love potion for months. That's magic, right? I've been testing on it on mice my precious owls have brought me. This is gonna be it. It'll work this time.
"Arthur, hold them down." I smirk as my golden brown owl takes his feet and holds the mice down. Helpless and squirming. It's wonderful to watch lesser animals suffer. Especially when they belong to animals of the so called big shots. Mizune. Eruka. And that woman, Medusa. I think of my beloved Kid and he could kill them with one shot and it just makes me melt.
"Soon, Kid, soon we will be together." I laugh as I drop three drops of my orange concoction on the mice. They squirm for a minute then after they finally spotted each other, one swoons the other, they look like they're kissing and they start dancing like humans. By Maba, I've done it!
"Arthur, lunchtime~" Arthur swallows the two mice whole. Together forever. Their destinies entwined throughout eternity. How I long to be in their position. My joy suddenly fades. I know they're here. I can see their silhouettes through my curtain. But they can't penetrate my home. Thank God for that. Even unnecessary, I hold my breath desperately and pray for them to go away. Within a minute, they do. I hold on to my hand made Kid plush for comfort.
"Tomorrow, we will meet." I whisper as I kiss my prince charming on the forehead. As soon as morning comes, I'll leave for Death City.
