For The Love of Chaos
Chapter 14
The next day, Anna could be seen with a glare on her face. She just couldn't believe that Chaos had actually gone and bit her. I mean, how does that make her his anyway? She sighed quietly, placing her head down on the bar counter, her shoulders hunched over a bit. When Tifa had first noticed the bite mark, she had decided to keep her distance from Anna, causing her to get even more upset.
Slowly, she raised her head back up, standing from her stool. She closed her eyes for a moment, before taking in a deep breath and letting it out. She had to get out of here for a little bit, even though, she knew that vincent wouldn't be very pleased when he got back from wherever it was that he was at. So quietly, she walked out of the bar and into the streets. She just needed to get some fresh air.
The whole time that she was out, she felt as though she were being watched or something. She hated that feeling because half the time, it was true.
Eventually, she came across an old playground, a couple children playing. Soon though, they ran off, playing somewhere else in the city. She sighed quietly, before carefully sitting down on a swing, swinging back and forth. She closed her eyes, enjoying herself, feeling as she once did long ago. A tear slowly fell as she thought about things.
"Hey Lady! You okay?" a voice called, causing her to jump and fall backwards off of the swing.
"Ow…" she groaned, holding the back of her head. She heard footsteps running towards her, a face soon looking down at hers.
"Here, let me help" the person said, extending their hand, which Anna took gratefully.
"Thank you" she whispered, allowing them to pull her back up. When she finally sat back up, is when she noticed the person in front of her. It was a young man, with firey red hair and green eyes. His hair itself, was pulled back into a ponytail, bangs hanging down on the sides of his face. He also had sunglasses on top of his head. Over all, he was actually pretty cute in her opinion. I mean, after all, he did have a nice build from what she could tell.
"No problem pretty lady" he said, smiling at her.
"Who are you anyway?" she asked, looking up at him as he stood in front of her.
"The name's Reno" he said, introducing himself.
"Reno…" she whispered quietly to herself.
"At your service dear lady, and who might I ask are you?" he questioned.
"Anna…Anna Carter" she told him quietly, before looking down at her hands.
"Ah…a lovely name for a lovely lady" he she before grabbing her hand and bringing it close to his face, placing a gentle kiss upon it. "Now my dear lady, may I ask why you're out here all by yourself?" Reno asked curiously.
"I…I needed some fresh air…to think" she admitted, looking down.
"Anna!" a voice called out from behind her, causing her to turn around.
"Vincent?" she said, surprised. Indeed it was vincent walking toward her at a quick pace, his eyes set on Reno, who quickly backed up.
"Anna, let's go back to the bar" he told her, taking hold of her hand, dragging her away from Reno. Vincent seemed irritable for some reason and didn't realize how tightly he was holding onto her wrist.
"Ow…" she whined, trying to get him to let go.
"Sorry…" he whispered, detaching himself from her wrist, watching as she rubbed it gently.
"Vincent…what…what's wrong?" she asked quietly, looking up at him. He just turned his head to the side, averting his eyes. "Vincent" she spoke firmly, getting his attention.
"It's nothing…" he said, trying to avoid it. Right then and there, she stopped in her tracks, arms crossed. He turned around to look at her. "Anna?" he asked.
"No Vincent. Something is wrong, I want to know what it is. Now, don't lie to me, you know I hate liars" she told him bitterly. Her parents often lied to her when she was small, so she grew to hate it. He sighed quietly, before walking up to her, and placing his arms around her.
"I'm sorry" he whispered tiredly, closing his eyes. "Come on" he said, placing his arm around her shoulder, leading her out of the city. Soon, they were on the outskirts of Edge, high atop a hill overlooking the city. "Anna…I need to talk to you about something" he told her.
"What is it?" she asked, sitting down beside him on the ground.
"Chaos…" he said quietly, looking out at the city.
"What about him?" she asked, still slightly bitter toward Chaos at the moment.
"Last night…when he…" Vincent tried to get the proper words out.
"The jerk bit me…what about it?" she asked sourly. Vincent chuckled slightly at this.
"It bothers me Anna…because he wants you" Vincent told her. She just sighed, standing up.
"I already know that Vincent…he thinks that I'm his…so he decided to make it very apparent" she told him, her voice rising slightly as she moved the collar of her shirt a bit, the bite mark showing. Once again, Vincent felt angered at the sight of it.
"He had no right…" Vincent whispered to himself, not meaning for her to hear it, but she did.
"Heh…you're telling me…" she laughed dryly. She then started thinking about their past. "Hey Vincent…I know that this is kind of off the subject…but"
"Yes?"
"Do you remember…about a month before everything happened with you…that night in the park?" she asked, gazing over at him. He nodded his head.
"Yes, we were talking about what you wanted for your future, why?" he asked, standing up and looking at her.
"Whenever it is…that I get married…would you still be the one to give me away?" she asked quietly, staring out at the city. He stiffened, but she didn't see it.
"Ha! Can you answer that one Vinnie boy? You can't give her away to yourself, that means me" Chaos told him happily. Vincent knew that he was right though…she wasn't his. She might be his best friend…but…he couldn't have her.
"Yes…" he said quietly, his mood going down hill to Chaos' pleasure, and his will power fading. Soon, vincent relinquished his control over his body, letting Chaos have it. Vincent couldn't stand there any longer, but he knew that he couldn't run away from her, so he gave Chaos control.
"Vincent I…" she stopped as she turned around. "Chaos?" she asked curiously, utterly confused. "Why did Vincent…"
"He's not feeling well I'm afraid" Chaos told her, although it wasn't completely a lie at this point. Right now, vincent just wished to disappear for a couple days. She took a few steps back away from him, feeling slightly uncomfortable at the moment. The thing that she neglected to realize though, was the edge of the hill. "Anna!" he called, but it was already too late, she'd taken that final step. So quickly, he jumped after her, grabbing hold of her as they tumbled down the hill together. Once they reached the bottom, they were completely dizzy. Anna tried to stand up, but found herself swaying all over the place until she fell down.
"Di…zzyyyyy" she whined, laying back. Her mind was spinning now. After enough of the dizziness went away, she looked over at Chaos, finding that he hadn't moved. "Oh no…Chaos!" Quickly, she got up and ran over to him. "Chaos, are you ok?" she asked. He didn't respond. She shook him a bit, leaning down as she sat by his side. "Chaos?" she called out again. This time, he opened his eye, quickly pulling her head towards his. That was when he kissed her, grinning happily. She just blinked, not knowing what to do. After a moment, she got up, kicking his side. "Jerk!" she said, walking away. He just grinned, before getting up and running after her, picking her up in his arms. This caused her to let out a startled yelp. "Chaos!" she shouted, kicking her legs around since they weren't touching the ground.
"Mine" he said, whispering into her ear, before kissing her cheek. When he did this, she could feel his fangs slightly, given how big they are.
"And what makes you think that I'm yours?" she asked, turning her head to look at him. He just grinned, before leaning down and placing his lips upon the bite mark.
"This…" he said quietly, before turning her head and kissing her on the lips. "And this…" he said quietly, giving her a small smile.
"Chaos?" she asked, turning her head to look at him.
"Hm?" he asked, nuzzling his face into her soft hair. She closed her eyes before speaking.
"Why me?" she whispered.
"Anna…" he spoke her name quietly, placing her back down on the ground. It was then that he turned her around to face him, resting his forehead against hers. "What am I?" he whispered, gazing down into her eyes. She gave him a funny look before speaking.
"You're like me…just stronger" she told him. He gave her a small smile.
"What does everyone else call me?" he asked. She looked down for a moment.
"A…monster…" she whispered.
"I'm a demon…everyone either fears or hates me Anna…everyone but you" he whispered, caressing her cheek softly, causing her to close her eyes.
"I'm not like everyone Chaos" she told him, enjoying the feeling of his hand on her cheek.
"Precisely…that's what makes you special. Anna…you were meant for me…meant to be mine" he spoke softly into her ear, before kissing her softly.
"But…what about Vincent?" she asked, in her head, referring to the kissing.
"That was me…" he admitted honestly.
"You mean…you…" He nodded his head, before pulling her to him, holding her close.
"As I said…you're mine" he spoke softly to her, his hand on the back of her head, stroking her hair. After he said all of that, it actually didn't sound so out there…it made sense in a way.
"Fine…you win…she's…yours" Vincent whispered quietly, making Chaos grin. Now, all that was left for him to do, was claim her. Although, he knew that he couldn't do that right now, at least not without scaring her away. He definitely didn't want to do that.
"Anna?"
"Hm?"
"Do you…like being with me?" he whispered quietly, keeping her close to him. She turned her head upwards, looking at him.
"Why do you ask?"
"I'm…curious" he said quietly.
"Yes…I like being with you" she told him, resting her head against him. This caused him to smile, a genuine smile, fangs included of course.
"Stay with me then?" he asked her, looking down at her. She nodded her head, giving away her answer.
"Always…" she whispered, a tear falling from her eye, only to be whipped away by Chaos.
"May I?" he asked quietly.
"Yes…" she said, slowly leaning up as he brought her closer, their lips meeting in a soft kiss. This was the very first time that Chaos had actually asked for permission. I guess that there's a first for everything though, right?
