The Human mind is something that can change from one night.
That was something he had experience after living in the Apocalypse for 4 years.
It was amazing.
Seeing families go from Friendly to Enemies.
That's why he didn't want to tell anything to Elias, He was scared this guy would suddenly change his mind and betray him.
But there was one thing he could do--
He could just lie his way through it.
He was experienced in lying and had relied on it to survive for years.
"El, Some fortune teller told me something, The fortune teller told me this would happen! ."
Using his tears to sway Elias, He clutched at Elias's shirt while telling him some made-up story.
Was it necessary?
No
He could have just told Elias the truth and be done with it, It would have made things easier.
But he couldn't.
His mind was still paranoid, He knew how fickle humans are.
He himself is one of those fickle humans.
He had betrayed and hurt people for his benefits so he knew just how scary the World would be in the Apocalypse.
'Sure Elias is my Fuckbuddy aswell as Saviour but it still doesn't assure me that he wouldn't betray me in the future' Vincent thought so.
God knows how many people died from betrayal, He doesn't wanna be one of those losers who were clearly had enough power to stop it but was too emotionally stupid to notice anything.
What if Elias hands him to the Scientist in the future? Elias himself is a Doctor, What if he experiment on him?
Sure he had two abilities right now but compared to the powerhouses in the future, Hes weak as a duckling.
There were even monsters with three abilities!
"wait wait, A fortune teller told you this would happen?" Elias frowned when he heard this while eyeing Vincent.
Vincent didn't flinch at the stare, He was a master at lying! This type of stare is something he's used to whenever he would tell those powerhouses something.
" Yeah, He told me that a Meteorite would fall and blood rain would fall. The End of Humanity is near is something he said aswell"
Elias continued on observing him as he tried to process what Vincent just told him but Vincent didn't let him as he continued on talking.
"Zombies would roam the Earth and something valuable would be inside the Zombie that humanity would fight over"
"At first, I thought it was just a joke but i didn't really think it was real!"
Vincent was born as a Pathological Liar,
He had lying in his bones and his lying techniques were honed after years in the Apocalypse.
To be a Pathological Liar, One must be a good actor!
Looking at Elias's expression, He smirked inside his mind as he continued on telling this made-up story.
"Do you remember who this fortune teller is?"
Vincent only shook his head and said that the fortune teller was someone he met when he was away for 3 months and that the fortune teller didn't have any name or info.
Finally, Elias finally agreed to go out but only that they kill the zombies nearby and not travel too far. He also told him to grab a weapon hidden in the basement while Vincent nodded vigorously and obediently followed.
Vincent looked at the disgusting stench at the basement and glanced at Elias who only innocently looked at him.
It was obviously a dead corpse smell!
Observing some dead body parts plastered on the floor aswell as a bulletin with all sorts of familiar pictures on the wall,
There were also torture weapons and guns on the side.
He had already guessed on what happened but seeing up close and seeing all his previous lovers and fuck buddies sent a shiver in his skin.
Hearing a soft and gentle voice suddenly speak up, Vincent was broken from his thoughts.
"These are all the leeches that latched themselves on you, I had to get rid of them after you were done playing with them"
Saying without any hesitation, Elias hugged Vincent from behind tightly as if afraid that he would run away after seeing this sight.
Elias had known his love for Vincent was abnormal.
It was too much to the point where it could drown the person being loved.
Which was why he was afraid of confessing to Vincent when he found out about his feelings for the beautiful guy.
But now it doesn't matter..
Touching the black collar that had his name put in it, Elias grinned.
Vi was now his, He didn't care if he had to sacrifice the World for this.
So what if the World is ending?
His Vi is with him so it doesn't matter!
He didn't care what sacrifice he had put so that Vincent would be with him, He didn't care about how many lives would die.
As long Vi was with him, He was happy!
"Alright, We'll go out. Lock and put the defense systems on the house so that no one can loot and steal the house" Vincent said while getting out of Elias's embrace, going to the nearby weapons around him.
He wanted to get a sharp knife to play with. Although he knew how to use guns, they were too eye-catching and he wanted to test out his needle work on the tier 1 zombies outside.
Elias nodded and followed Vincent's orders while grabbing some guns and daggers,
He had guns on his disposal so he would naturally use them more.
If these zombies were like what he saw in the movies then guns would be more useful but he would need to use a silencer since he didn't wanna attract too much attention on him and Vi.
The daggers would act as safety measurements incase they get closer to him.
Finally ready, Vincent felt excited at the thought of seeing the familiar world he was used to again.
Although he liked living in a peaceful world,
His heart and soul had already gotten used to the chaotic and bloodthirsty cruelty in the Apocalypse.
He had missed the feeling of slashing and stabbing a zombies head!
