3rd Person's POV

It was all the blood. The chaos. The missing friends. The nightmares. The fear.

Y/N had been a merchant who would travel around from place to place for a living, selling and trading. Nothing would hold her back when she moves from place to place. Of course she would make friends and meet new people each stop, but it wasn't like she wouldn't come back with time only to do it al over again. There was no one holding her back. There was nothing to make her stay.

That was until she stopped by for a visit to Phoenix Drop. A place she didn't know would be so beautiful until she took her first step on shore. The people were wonderful, and they'd greet her with a kind smile. Y/N didn't know that this was a place she'd want to stay in until more time went by. She didn't realize that out of all the people she'd meet that one would stick out to her. However, salt can be mistaken for sugar. And Laurance, he was the salt with the illusion of sweet sugar.

Laurance was too good to be true. He was a sweet casanova whose words drive her mentally insane, but she didn't mind. At times she would find it utterly adorable, and she would even see that she would be sitting on the edge of her chair for a simple comment. His looks charm each girl he meets, and his eyes are soft and beautiful.

And because of all the people in Phoenix Drop, she decided that she would stay.

Y/N loved Phoenix Drop.

Y/N loved the people in the village.

Y/N loved Laurance's eyes.

Note 'loved.' Y/N loved all of these things. That was until what Y/N thought a simple infatuation Laurance had on her was revealed to be possessiveness. It was too bad it was too late.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

"Good morning beautiful," Laurance greets, standing in front of Y/N's merchant booths. She turns around with a bright smile when she becomes face to face with the male. "The prettiest thing a girl can wear is a smile, but it looks like you already know that," he tells her, leaning forward and boops the tip of her nose causing Y/N to go crossed eyed. Laurance loves doing this just because of her eyes, and he found it cute. Y/N on the other hand thought that she looked dumb and wished that he'd stop due to her constantly becoming embarrassed about it.

"Laurance," she groans, drawing out the ending of his name as she hid her face from him with her hands. "Why do you always do this? What brings you here so early anyway?"

He laughs, "Oh my love, you forget that I find it cute and enjoy your company." Laurance lets out a sigh once he remembers that he's still on patrol and that he should be heading off to the large hill that consisted Aphmau's purple house. He would've much rather spent more time with Y/N, but duty calls. "I best be on my way. I'm on duty."

She shakes her head and laughs, her eyes drifting off to the left and seeing a certain blue haired cutie she had her eye on for quite some time now. "Hmm, well have fun with that Laurance." Laurance begins to walk away but continues to listen to what Y/N has to say. He knew that her attention was drawn off to somebody else, but he wasn't having it. Brendon disappeared for a reason. "Hey Dante!"

Laurance slowly trudged his feet against the pathway as he kept his mouth shut with a sour attitude. He didn't like how Y/N had some kind of attraction to Dante, and he wasn't too sure on how to make it stop. It's been going on for a while now, and Laurance was jealous.

He made Brendon disappear simply because Brendon made Y/N smile. If it weren't for Molly and Donna, Dale and Logan would've been swimming with the fishes if Laurance would've gotten his way. He didn't have the heart to hurt Dante, and her certainly didn't have the heart to hurt Garroth either even if he was getting closer to Y/N as well, but Laurance didn't want to take any chances.

Besides, Garroth of O'Khasis had died long ago, and Dante's family doesn't even remember him except for the male in the nether.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

The guard tower had never been quieter with two less people on guard. Laurance has grown to be paranoid as more days go by, and Garroth has mysteriously been killed, and Brian sadly has as well as he tried to protect Garroth from his killer. Laurance would know. Laurance watched his best friend be killed. Though, Laurance would never admit to being the one who killed Garroth unless needed.

With the newly found killings, Phoenix Drop has been on edge. Some have fled, and others have grown fearful to even refusing to exit their own homes. All trade and selling has stopped with the merchants, and Y/N has even considered leaving for a new place. Meteli was right around the corner, but she was afraid to even stray far from her own bedroom. And with everything happening in the village, Aphmau has been on edge as she struggles to continue and lead. Her own people and guards are dying, and she doesn't know what to do to stop it.

Laurance's job has only increased with what he has to do as he now possesses Garroth's old title as the head guard. Dante has moved up to second in command as Laurance once was, but Dante has been extremely cautious for Y/N's safety lately, and this hasn't gone over well with Laurance.

After checking in with Aphmau, Laurance decided to walk over to Y/N's house that was near Kawaii~Chan's. When Y/N decided to permanently join as a resident of Phoenix Drop, Laurance and Brendon had willingly offered to build Y/N a home. Of course Laurance wasn't crazy at that time, and Y/N found him quite cute.

However once the male turned the corner, he saw Dante exiting Y/N's house with a large dopey smile on his face. Jealousy built up in Laurance's chest as he felt his hand grasp tightly around the end of his sword. Dante was happy because Y/N told him that she'd help set up a date between him and Kawaii~Chan, even if it hurt her, and he was going to tell Laurance. The same Laurance he felt as though was like a brother to him.

"Laurance, buddy, guess what?" Dante grins, his smile from ear to his other ear. Laurance lifts an eyebrow and tries to play it off as if he was completely okay with Dante even being around Y/N. The two walked around Y/N's house towards the emptier parts of Phoenix Drop as Dante seemed oblivious to Laurance's changed behavior. "Y/N just told me the best news ever!"

This tipped Laurance over the edge, and he even felt as though his Shadow Knight side as wanted to take over. He wouldn't however let this happen. Laurance wasn't dumb enough to let that happen.

"Is this so?" Laurance questions, stopping in his tracks as he looked down at his feet. He was unaware of Dante's feelings and mistook them to belonging to Y/N due to her feelings and how close they were to one another. "Dante, do you hear that?" He points behind Dante, and Dante turns around, startled. "I think something's over there."

The grip upon his sword's hilt became present once again.

"Laurance? Where do you see it? I can't find anythi-" The feeling of the pommel against Dante's head lead to Dante stopping his sentence and feeling confused as he slowly started to stumble around until he fell against the floor, blood beginning to pool out of his head onto the grass below him.

Laurance crouches onto the ground near Dante, finding him close to dead as he looked down at him with a twisted smile. "That was harder than it was supposed to be. If you would've stayed away from Y/N, we wouldn't have had this problem. Now would we?" He laughs at Dante who now seems to be fading in and out of consciousness. "Y/N can finally be mine. There shouldn't be anyone else that can take her away from me. It's truly a shame that I had to get rid of you Dante, you were like a brother to me. . . just like Garroth."

After finding no more need to be around Dante anymore, Laurance leaves him behind as he goes to tell Aphmau with a panic that something happened to Dante. But of course to work in his favor, he wouldn't do that for some time.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

Laurance figured that he'd stop by Y/N's house and then go check up on Dante's dead body where he would then tell Aphmau that Dante had been struck while he was on patrol or something along those lines.

But when Laurance knocked on Y/N's door, she opened it only to shut it just as quickly with wide eyes. She did have a smile on her face, but her frantic state takes over her as she looks over to the blue haired male she was trying to nurse back to health. She had gone for a walk in the forest a little after the event happened, and she saw Dante there. When she began to nurse him, he told her what happened to the best of his ability.

Y/N didn't believe it at first, but for a split second at the door she saw Laurance's eyes. They changed. They belonged to someone she didn't even know anymore. She believes Dante now.

Not thinking, Y/N leaves the door unlocked when she begins to panic because of the two males. This was a sorry mistake on her end and honestly something predictable. The door opens and Laurance walks in.

"Y/N, is everything okay?" He says, looking around until he sees Dante lying on her kitchen table. "Oh, it's you. I thought you were dead! Why aren't you dead?" He realizes his mistake and sees Y/N stare at him in fear. "Oh, my precious, the monster will be gone soon, and it'll just be you and me, forever."

Y/N shakes her head no and tries to book it to her door, but Laurance blocks her off and pins her against the wall nearby. He leans down and placed a few kisses against her neck, and she shivers from the contact. She didn't want this. Y/N tries to push him off of her, but she fails to be able to do so and is soon stuck in Laurance's grasp as he walks over to Dante. Dante looks up at Laurance with half lidded eyes and tries to negotiate, but no words are able to come out of his mouth.

Bringing the sword out and pointing it towards Dante, Laurance places a kiss against the top of Y/N's head.

"Now let this be a lesson to you, Y/N. You're mine and only mine. Dante is just like Brian, and Garroth, and he's like Brendon. He's in my way of being with you." Y/N tries to break away and rush away, but she fails once again and winces at how tight Laurance's hand was around her upper arm. Within a matter of second, Laurance's sword is through Dante's left side of his chest, and an instant feeling of guilt takes over Y/N as Laurance looks down at him in satisfaction.

"Why did you do that?" Y/N cries out, reaching out for Dante even if he could do the same to her. "I cared for him! Laurance please, stop doing this!"

Laurance shakes his head and looks at Y/N's shaking body in admiration, moving a strand of hair out of her face. His hand cupping her cheek afterwards.

"There's two things that can happen," Laurance tells her, thinking of a negation of his own. "You can either be mine and only mine and shower me in all of your love, or everyone around us can end up like Dante." Y/N shakes her head vigorously, losing all feeling in her arm. He cut off the circulation from his hold on her, and she was fearful. A third idea pops into his head. "Or, I could just kill you and nobody would ever try to take you away from me again!"

He lets out a laugh and Y/N begins to cries out as tears streamed down her face. He was contradicted. Laurance found it as a beautiful sound, but it pained him to see her upset. He just wanted his love to himself. Was that really all that bad?

Y/N hiccups and sighs, biting her lip ever so slightly as she avoids eye contact with him. "I'll be yours. But please, only if you stop k-killing people."

He lifts her chin up to face him and smiles, placing his cold lips against hers. She grimaces but kisses back nonetheless to save the others around her.

"That sounds amazing. Well Y/N, it appears that you're mine and everybody else around us is safe. But remember, we can't tell anybody what happened or else more people will die." His voice is sing sing like, and he brings Y/N into a bone crushing hug since he is overjoyed. Y/N wants to run away but there is no point. She made a deal she was forever stuck in.

She would have to be in love with a killer.

Even if it meant she was unhappy, it was worth it if the rest of her friends were safe from the monster in front of her. But in the end, nobody but the dead would know just how much of a hero Y/N really was.
