Jack city of Unity of Vagstad in the University of Strife. There was a young man named Von Lyner in his dorm room that was a medium size room that was for just him. Von was a B+ student and stressed out college student. There was banging at his door. Von woke up and got up in his boxers to get the door. Once he opened the door there was a young lady with brown eyes and short dark brown hair with a bookbag and she was 5'7. With her, there was a 5'11 man with a buzz cut hairstyle with light skin with shades on grinning at Von.
"What do you want Rex and Denise?" Von said not in the mood to talk.
"Yooo why you gotta come to the door indecent." said Rex shaking his head at Von.
"It's my room. I will and can do what I please... What do you two want?" Von said bluntly with a serious face.
"Well I'm not fully sure but I believe everybody is gathering at the cafeteria. So we went to come get you to see if you wanna join us." said Denise smiling at Von.
"Screw that! We have to bring your slow ass with us. Finals are coming up and it'll be great to hang up with everyone. But if you wanna be a problem we can crash right here. You know that locking yourself in your room bullshit is getting old."said Rex taunting Von to get him to come out of his room.
"I get it... I'm not really feeling up to hanging out right now... So you guys can go without me. I'll be fine, don't worry about it. It's just something on my mind and I just need to be alone." said Von
Von closes the door then goes to his bed and plops right down. Hours went by and he kept tossing and turning in his sleep. He started envisioning him in a black void, nothing around him. Then he sees a light skin woman with flowing long light brown hair, a pretty face as he looks closer and sees she had two color eyes one blue in the other light green. He tries to reach out to touch her but right before but suddenly at that moment there is something behind them. A dark figure was shadowing him and his heart began to race. When Von went to turn behind him to see it was nothing and out of nowhere a dark hand grabbed his neck and he jumped out his sleep. Von heard someone knocking at his door. He looked at his alarm clock and it was only 8 p.m. He got up to open the door and when he did Denise was sitting there smiling as she walked into the room close to the door behind them.
"Get dressed, we're going to go to the cafe and hang out with everyone." Denise said excitedly
"I told you I don't want to be bothered. Why are you still trying to bother me... But if this gets you to stop bothering me... I'll go just wait here." said Von as he puts on his light blue jeans and white t-shirt. Then his white sneakers and after that grabs his olive green leather jacket. At the cafeteria Von and Denise went to meet up with the other friends. But Von's mind began to wonder what grabbed him in that dream. When they got inside the cafeteria they saw their friends sitting at a large table that was put together with other tables sitting around laughing Denise approached them hugging everyone around the table.
"Hey guys! Is everyone ready for finals?" Denise asks everyone at the table.
"You know it's going pretty well for me. I'm not really too nervous about it although you know, I can't really shake that nerve that last assignment went well." Ostrythe responds to Denise.
"Besides that what are you and your best friend doing? You guys were out all night last week when we had our party." Favian asked as he gave a questioning expression.
"Hey, I bet they were probably boo loving. It would make sense finally. Ryder added in shrugging his arm and trying not to laugh. But the rest of the gang laugh.
"One I don't know what you're talking about I have no memory about it. Two can I kill you now? because I think no one will miss you." Von stated as he sat down on an empty chair facing away from the group.
"See I am trying to support my fellow man and already he is planning on killing me. I need new friends. Ryder said as he laughed and shook his head at Von.
"Ryder stop teasing Von you know that he has a memory problem. Von stop taking Ryder so seriously you he's just messing with you." Denise said settle the little argument that Ryder and Von are having.
"All this hostility I don't want to be around right now. I got to worry about my exams, not go to the hospital right now. So all the negative energy keeps it over there. Raven said tilting her head giggling and pointing to a random area.
"Von knows that everyone here loves him. That's why we all fucks with him." Ostrythe bluntly said.
"Whatever..." Von said as he looked away and turned his attention to the 65" TV that was in the cafe. Denise burst out laughing and Favian started to laugh as well. Suddenly on the news, there was an alert that was going on. It showed a newsman very shocked about what just happened. This caught everybody's attention and everybody was looking towards the screen about the news that was about to be given Denise had a sharp pain in the heart when she saw the screen. Her smile faded away when she saw the screen.
News Reporter: There was a murder to a man named Oscar Vinehorn. Oscar's body was found by the city streets of New Jack City nobody knows the whereabouts of his arms but all that's left is his body and his legs. This brutal murder is still at large, we are still trying to figure out who would do such a horrible thing. Right now there are no suspects at this time that anybody can say. Even though that this murder is the third murder this year that happened. It may so be that it might be a serial killer on the loose. The police are trying to see what is going on in this investigation.
"No that can't be it...That can't be him... Let it be anybody else but him... I can't deal with this. He wasn't supposed to be in the city. He was supposed to be a way he promised me he wouldn't do this please don't let that be Oscar's body! Denise screamed out starting to panic and her eyes filled with tears.
Denise we got to leave let's go you don't need to look at any of this shit. Grab your bags, let's go now!" Von demanded with a serious look in his eyes. Von grabbed Denise's arm and pulled her towards the exit cafeteria so he could get to the door. There was a woman that walked in and pushed Von back and he lost his balance and fell on the floor. She grabs Von's shirt and lifts him up. Von kicks the woman in her rib but she didn't Flinch a bit instead she grabbed him and twisted his body around and slammed him on the floor then grabbing his left arm-twist it.
"Ophelia let go of him, please he doesn't remember anything at all. We were just leaving..." Denise said falling to the floor.
"Tch useless fool. You had one job to do and that was to make sure Oscar didn't come back..." Ophelia said with anger in her voice. Ophelia let's and go and backs up, grabs Denise's arm and helps her back up and leaves the cafeteria with her. Von gets up and dusts himself off and leaves as well.
"So what the hell just happened there? A lot happened within a span of 5 minutes. Ryder stated as he went up from his stair.
"You got me, I don't know what is going on, I'm curious to figure out what is going on?" Favian said he wondered about it too.
See there is always something going on... I just want to enjoy my meal and hangout with my friends. I got to go check on him because he looks very upset." Raven mentions with concern and worry on her face. She gets up and walks to the door but Ostrythe stops her by grabbing her arm.
"Leave them be this is none of our business. It's no point of trying to figure something out he'll tell us when he's ready." with a serious look Ostrythe had. The vibe with the group changes to an uneasy feeling.
"What do you mean he'll tell us when he's ready? He just got his ass handed to him and you guys didn't do anything but watch... So what the hell are you talking about, it's none of our business?" Raven questioned him as she mocked what he said.
"Raven, your mans is right... We can't get involved. Von doesn't want us to be involved right now besides we got finals." Favian said in agreement to Ostrythe. Raven looked at Ryder and even he shook his no to her.
"We're his friends! Forget about the finals for a couple of seconds. He's really hurt and this affects him alot. You get your ass beat and you don't even know why you did. Von is also being blamed for something that he couldn't remember as well.This affects him very negatively. Way more than finals." Raven made her point to the situation. Ryder was about to say something but just shook his head again. Ostrythe looked away and ball his fist up under the table. Favian walked up to Raven and patted her on the shoulder.
"Are you kidding me!?! Von won't just stand around and just let you guys get your ass kick." Raven said upset with the group.
"Yeah because like in two second he'll forget what hell is going on." Ryder butted in that made the guys chuckle.
"Raven calm down, don't take it so personally. We all don't like the situation either but we can't get involved not right now. This is a matter we don't know about, best believe we're going to figure everything out later on. We'll try to get to the bottom of it until then just gotta be strong and just wait." Favian stated as he walked out of the cafe. Ostrythe walked up to Raven and kissed her on the cheek. He grabbed her hand and they walked out of the cafe. Ryder went on his phone and continued to watch the news.
Von furious about the situation that happened in the cafeteria. His rage began to grow more but at the same time he felt very scared. Like something is trying to take over his mind. Fighting that dark urge and trying to hold back tears from his eyes. Von let out a scream but in his mind there was something that feels like it's trying to claw its way out. He doesn't know how he can handle it so he just started running. Von keeps running, he's looking for something to do to get his mind off the rage and the pain that he feels. He suddenly stopped looking at the beautiful night sky with a lot of stars. Von closes his eyes to imagine himself by the beach looking at the horizon. Thinking that this will help him gain control. But heard a loud crash coming from a building two blocks away. He ran to the building and looked around his surroundings and realized he's no longer on campus instead you ran to the empty factory facility. Von wandered around looking where the noise was coming from. He sees a beautiful brown skin woman with long curly hair and a very skimpy outfit of a crop top T-shirt with a leather jacket and booty shorts with thigh-high boots jumping out of the building and landing right in front of him. She looked at him and then looked towards the building and Von looked at the building and saw a giant monster bursting out of there. The monster landed in front of them with quick thinking and Von grabbed the young lady and ran out of there. As they both continued to run she tried to pull her arm away but he just gripped tighter and ran a lot faster the monster kept busting through different kinds of walls trying to get them so they made a left in this alleyway and there was a dead-end that kept them from going around. Keeping the young lady behind him. He looked towards the sky to look around but there was nothing there. Suddenly giant hands came from underneath them, grabbed their legs and smashed them right on the ground. He popped up into the air again and then the monster was right in front of them. Right there in the open it sides punch him in the face smashing him back on the ground again. He tried to open his eyes and reached out to the young lady and then passed out. Von heard a faded angelic voice saying "Wake up... Don't give up..." Immediately there was another voice he heard that was demonic saying "DIE!!!!!!" Von woke up from his bed sweating. He got up from his bed and looked in the mirror but he didn't see any marks or anything. Then he walked back to his bed but realized he's in his room. Wondering how he got to his room, Von just shook his head and walked it off. when he walked past his bed and saw a lump on his bed like something was underneath his covers. Von slowly put his hand on it and sneezed. It felt very soft and squishy and then he pulled the top of his sheet off and he saw that same woman from last night in her bra and panties sleeping on his bed. Von Screams and falls back on his butt and looks around reassuring that he is in his room. The young woman wakes up and stretches. She looks at him and smiles.
"Who are you? And why are you in my room?" Von asked blushing at the mysterious woman.
"Well you let me in your room remember?" the mysterious woman replies as she gets up.
"No I don't... All I can remember is a monster and seeing you I think...? Von said but realized that he remembered. He gave a faint smile.
"Well that is not true, we met at a park downtown New Jack City. You had a lot to drink because of what happened last night in the cafe if I can remember correctly." the mysterious woman tried to recall. Von gets up and looks at her and shakes his head.
"Stop fucking with me! I remember that there was a monster and you were there. I dont remember things but i remember that so whats up?" Von demanded with getting upset. The mysterious woman giggled.
"Well I guess your seal is breaking then." the mysterious woman said smiling at him. Von looked lost and was about to say something but change the topic.
"I have to ask, did we do the thing last night?" Von asks nervously and suddenly calms down.
"What thing?" the mysterious woman asked. Trying to understand him.
"You know the thing that a woman and man do when they do the thing." Von tries to explain but fails at it.
"You get demanding and now you act shy. That's so cute to be honest, so you mean did we have sex?" the mysterious woman said, taunting him and laughing.
"Yeah sorry about that. But yeah that thing...You know if we did that would have been my first time." Von said blushing but looking away at his clothes.
"We didn't do the "Thing". So don't worry you're still a virgin." the mysterious woman said laughing again and messing with him. As the young woman teases him. Von sigh of relief, He looked up and saw the young woman getting undressed in front of him. Von panics and grabs his towel and throws it at the young woman and runs outside his room. Von sat on the floor outside his room, putting his hand on his face. He heard footsteps coming down the hall. Von gets up and looks up to see Denise and Ostrythe coming.
"Yo rise and shine glad to see you up early but my question now is why are you outside the room just in your boxers bro? Ostrythe asked but shocked to see Von up.
"Are you kidding me, I understand you have your own personal space and you paid for your own room blah blah. But that doesn't give you the right just to walk around in your boxers. This is a dormitory where there are women and men that're coming through. You at least have a little self-respect, God..." Denise said, complaining to Von.
"Yep totally my fault I didn't mean to do it. I just didn't know what came over me a lot was just going on, so I'm not really thinking right now. Oh well I guess I'll see you guys at the cafe so you guys can leave, don't wait up for me. It'll take me a few minutes..." Von said, trying to push them away.
"Yeah that is not happening. You probably go back to sleep or something. So let us come in no big deal." Denise said, trying to get past Von. At that moment the young lady came out of Von's room just in his towel.
"Well I am off to take a shower now. Sleeping with you swearing makes me stink." the mysterious woman said as she poked Von signaling him to move. Von and Ostrythe both are in shock of what just happened. Ostrythe's face brightened as he gave Von's the thumbs and nodded his head. Denise turned to look at Ostrythe and he quickly went back to normal and shook his head at her.
"Von who is this?" Denise questioned him as she gave him the dead stare.
"Wait!!! I can explain!! We slept together but like what you're thinking of!!" Von tries to explain. Denise is still confused about the situation.
"So yall are cuddle buddies? If so, that is interesting. What's her name?" Ostrythe asked, trying to help Von out.
"I have no idea!! We just met last night so I'm still at a loss." Von said truthfully but Ostrythe dropped his head and sighed. Denise looked back to him and Ostrythe immediately went back to his same composure.
"So you just had sex with a random person you don't know!?!" Denise shouted with concern and Ostrythe smirk.
"I didn't know you had it in you, Von I am very impressed." Ostrythe slip up and said and Denise stared at him.
"WHAT!?!" Denise shouted at Ostrythe.
"I am! What do you want me to say?" Ostrythe said, shrugging his shoulders. Von fell on his butt and he got back up to try to run away but Denise went and chased him and grabbed his arm and punched him in the chest. After the drama was over the young lady explained everything.
"Ok, I get it now y'all met at a bar after the issue in the cafe. But may I ask for your name?"
"Lucy Hanover but please call me Lulu." Lucy said, delighted to clear the air. Von looked at the loss again but heard something in his head "Play along because they don't need to know what happened last night." Von looked up and shook his head.
"Alright Lulu go shower and then get dressed. So we can go to the cafe and meet with the others. This will be interesting to see what is going to happen next." Ostrythe started walking to the exit. Denise turns to Von and slaps him in his face super hard on the cheek and turns around and follows Ostrythe. Lucy gently rubbed his face and went to the bathroom to shower. Von opens his dorm room and clothes it behind him. That moment a shadow walked past his room and a man appeared.
"Boss we found him..." the man said.
