The cold breeze jolted her awake as she sat upright Levi was not in the bed. Her eyes scanned the room to find him asleep in pants with a revolver in his lap. She cautiously sat up to go shut the balcony doors when a shadow seemed to dart passed she was startled but followed it outside. She was standing on the balcony and it was very cold there had been a break in the rain but the wind was still very strong.
"Hello?" She quietly called to whatever she had saw when nothing returned her call she sighed pushing her nightgown down in the wind turning to go back inside when she was faced with a greater shock a large dripping black figure was standing looming over her with glowing purple eyes.
"Seal the deal Vesper sign the contract and be mine." The monstrous thing stated as Vesper backed up against the railing.
"Why do you want me I'm nobody."
"No dear Vesper your our other half we want you and you alone make us whole again." It stated looming ever closer as Vesper clung to the railing.
"Leave me alone please you don't want a nobody like me."
The figure chuckled. "But I do. I am Remus the demon of lust and contracts and you and I are not done yet I will have you Vesper." As it said those words a loud bang could be heard as she felt pressure against her cheek and saw a large whole in the figure before it dissolved away.
Levi stood gun in one hand eyes dark and focused like they were almost a red glow. Vesper ran to him as he dropped the gun kneeling to see her face better. he smeared the blood on her cheek.
"I'm sorry I shot to close you were hurt. " He said softly his eyes getting teary.
"Levi you saved me. "
"No that thing will be back I only gave us time your parents may enter soon we must act natural and hide your cheek. "
He scooped Vesper up and took her to the bathroom. "Warm up and wash your face I'll close the doors you need to relax I'll come get you when your ready. "
Vespers mind was reeling as she turned the hot water on getting in after undressing the heat warming her freezing body it almost stung. What happened just now... she thought to herself.
Levi closed the doors with a little force due to the unruly high winds just as it began to pour rain once more. Vesper's parents came in just as he got it closed and he sighed. "The doors slammed open in the wind it caused a loud bang waking us. Vesper was shivering so I made her take a hot shower I'm going to check on her in a moment are you two alright?"
"Yes we just thought it was a gunshot we were worried ." Kim stated as Daniel left the room quietly and sleepily. She looked out the window at the trees swaying in the distance then back to Levi.
"You two rest well now and stay warm please be more careful."
Levi nodded looking at the reflective glow in vespers mom's eyes as she turned in the dim room heading down the stairwell.
Levi shook himself and made good on his word by stepping in the bathroom.
"Vesper you alright?" He questioned.
"Yes Levi " she said softly as she was blushing allot behind the steamy glass wall.
"Why was your gun in your lap?" she blurted out.
"I couldn't sleep so I cleaned it." He chuckled as it kinda sounded like a funny thing to do when trying to rest.
"Oh." She said softer not questioning it as she touched her cheek.
"Vesper do I need to come in there your pretty quiet if it's deeper then you think I can stitch...."
"No go to bed Levi I will be there in a minute. " She stopped him before he could get in with her it terrified her to think of Levi seeing her body as is much less in the shower. She shivered the thoughts away as she heard the door click she sighed relived he had gone but grateful he had been there. Her thoughts increased and began to overwhelm her so she stopped the water and stepped into the warm room drying herself and slipping into the nightgown leaving the lacy nightware behind she was sleepy enough as is.
Levi sat on the bed setting the gun back in his boot as he looked at his black socks and then out the window before standing and pulling the curtains over the veiw. He found some extra blankets stacking them on the bed before sitting quietly on the bed laying his head towered her side as she entered the room.
The air hit her skin once again causing her to shiver so she quickly crawled under the blankets for warmth that she was quickly granted by Levi's body heat she snuggled her back against him more freezing when he suddenly wrapped his arms around her.
"If your cold say so I will keep you warm." He said softly getting tired once again.
She nodded unable to form words as she laid her head on his arm falling into a deep warm sleep.
