It'll be okay

~M/n's pov~

I shot up from my sleep, gasping desperately for air as sweats trickling down my forehead. My body is soaked by the sweats produced making my skin feel sticky as the fabric of my clothes is rubbing it. I slowly regulate my breathing, not wanting the noises my body makes will perturb my sister's beauty slumber. Once all the tension within my muscles fades away, I reach for my triple D to look at the time.

3 am.

I run my fingers through my hair, getting deep in thought of what is happening in my nightmares. I seem to have progressed from not wanting to survive at all to managing to kill on of the wolves in an attempt to survive. It was all thanks to MC's voice that cheered for me. I guess, at least, I should try to stay alive not for me but for her. I want to stay by her side and keep her safe.. until death decides to take me away from her...

I look at my sleeping sister, strengthening my willpower to stay alive for her.

' How can I think of killing myself when I still have people that I love here...' I thought to myself, shaking my head in disappointment.

I got up and take a quick shower to clean myself from the sticky coat on my skin. I put on a black undershirt and a pair of grey sweatpants. We have school today so it's easier to change into my uniform later. I decided to take a stroll around the mansion, examining the paintings everytime I pass by one. Somehow, one of the paintings caught my eye, giving off the nostalgic feelings the longer I stare at it.

' M/n? Having trouble sleeping?'

I hummed as I recognize the voice as Lucifer and continued to stare at the painting. He got closer until he stand right next to me.

' Ah... This painting...' he muttered to himself. I mulled over the details of eight angels playing together. One of them is female. I pointed my finger at her.

' So, she's my ancestor?'

' MC have told you about it, huh?'

' Yeah. Also the part where she saw past memory of her.'

' I see... Yeah... She's our sister, Lilith.'

' She's beautiful.'

' And kind.'

' . . . '

' . . . '

' Hey, Lucifer.'

' Hmm?'

' Some of her power got passed down, right?'

' That seems to be the case.'

' Is.. having signs through dreams, one of them?'

' Maybe. Why do you ask?'

' No reason.'

' Huh. Well, do you want to continue our chat over some tea?'

' That would be nice. Thanks, Lucifer.'

' No problem. You are quite similar to your sister.'

' Why?' I asked, looking at his crimson orbs for answers as we walk.

' When she just got here, she would wander around the mansion at night and that's how everything started.'

' I guess she can't get some sleep over what happened.' I nodded to his statement.

' That is understandable.'

We chatted for what felt like hours and I got to learn more about Devildom. Lucifer is easy to have a talk with and he's not really the type to speak much. It felt calming since all my nerves are haywire due to the nightmares I'm having back to back. Just then, my alarm on my triple D goes off, indicating that I need to get ready for school.

' Well, I guess I need to go back. Thanks for the tea and your time, Lucifer. I had fun. Catch you later!' I said, stepping out of his office. Just when I make a turn down the corridor, I lost my sense of direction.

' God damnit! Not again!' I cursed to myself...

' Barbatos, what do you think I should do?' Diavolo started to ask his butler after the meeting.

' About M/n?'

' Yeah, I never thought something like this would happen.'

' Well, they both are quite the unique sibling if I must say so.' Barbatos responded, putting down a cup of tea he brewed for the prince of Devildom.

' Thanks, Barbatos.'

' But if I were to have a word on this matter, I will let him be and let him grow to face the challenges in the future.'

' Did you take a glimpse of the future?'

' ... Yes.'

' Because you were curious too, huh?'

' Yeah. I'm sorry for going against your orders, Young Master.'

' Don't worry about it, Barbatos. Tell me what you see.'

~M/n's pov~

' If I turn here... Damnit! Another dead end!' I grunted in frustration. I have been trying to get myself on any familiar corridor so I can reach my room but I keep on reaching dead ends. I put my hands on my hips, head's down as I sighed.

' M/n? What are you doing here?'

I turn towards the voice, heart filled with hope.

' Ah, Satan! I can't find the way to my room. Can you help me?'

' Sure. Follow me.'

' Thanks, man! You're a lifesaver!'

' What were you doing anyways?'

' I can't sleep after a nightmare I had so I take a walk around, looking at paintings. I met Lucifer and we have a chat. But when I want to go back, I somehow turned to an unfamiliar side of the mansion.' I said, rubbing the back of my neck.

' You had a nightmare?'

' Shit...' I thought as I imagined slapping myself over and over again and cursed internally, mocking the dumb giveaway I did earlier.

' ... Yeah.'

' You want to talk about it?' he asked, fret is all over his face. His gesture of concern is sincere, not like any other fake gestures I received at the human realm. They all left me after they saw that I'm never gonna get 'cured' from my 'hallucinations'.

' Not really. Thanks for worrying about me though.' I smiled warmly at him, thanking him internally for showing me genuine concern for my wellbeing.

' I see. If you ever had any nightmares again, you can call my number. At least to help you pass the time, we can chat if you want.' he suggested, patting my back to show his support.

' Thanks, Satan. I might need it in the future, so I'm grateful for the offer.'

We arrive at my room with just enough time for me to change into the RAD uniform.

' Thanks for this morning, Satan. See you at breakfast!' I said cheerily before closing the door. Just as I turn around, I yelp in shock.

' Aah! God damnit, MC! What if I had a heart attack?!' I nagged after seeing her suddenly appear behind me.

' So, where have you been this morning?' she asked, grinning as I take out my clothes.

' Walking around and got lost. Why?'

' No reason. You suddenly disappear, so I thought maybe you were banging someone~' she responded, snickering as she sling on her bag to her shoulder.

' Wha- eww! First of all, that's nasty. And second of all, who would be that wild and dumb to do it on school mornings? It would definitely caught other people's attention.' I replied as I button up the green shirt, tucking it in my pants.

' Well, don't regret what you said in the future~!'

' Whatever!'

We got out of the room and get some breakfast before heading out to the academy...

' What is this ominous feeling..?' I grumbled to myself. My stomach is churning vigorously the nearer I am to the school, making me feel uncomfortable. When we enter the school gate, Satan had to go for his morning duty in the meeting room. Mammon stuck next to MC like a glue while I walk behind them. We don't want to block the way for other people now, do we?

I look around, feeling wary of our surroundings because of the bad taste in my mouth. Then, I spot a fast moving figure coming towards our direction. More specifically, towards Mammon.

' MAMMON!!!' I leaped forward and pushed him aside before trying to block the hit. The other two were in shock. I caught the assaulter's fist, holding it so it didn't go pass me.

' MC! You know what to do!' I told her, snapping her from her daze. I keep myself composed despite strong demon I'm facing. He leaped backwards, creating a distance between me and him.

' You know, for a human, you're quite strong. But, we are greater in number.' Just as he said that, his cronies come to his side, some cracking their knuckles. He snickered at me, showing a very nasty smile as I got into my defensive stance, protecting my sister behind me.

' You shouldn't have messed with that girl, you know?' he said, his cronies started to lunge themselves at me one by one. I beat them, making every moves necessary to avoid MC from getting caught in the crossfire. They all get back up every time and try to hit me again. But then, one of them figured a way to distract me.

He targeted his fist at MC.

When I see it, I couldn't catch it with my hands since it was occupied by the other underlings in front of me. I had no choice but to shield my sister from it using my face. Taking the hit, I fall to the ground, earning more hits on my body as I struggled to parries it using whatever strength I have left.

' M/N!!! NO!!!' I could hear her scream. It was full of despair and I could feel my heart is clawed by the sadness I'm feeling for her. I feel a stinging pain in my chest as my mind are slowly terrorized by the nausea. My vision is blurred by the blood trickling down my forehead as they all keep on kicking my body.

' Ah, stop. We need him alive.'

All the harsh beating I felt earlier stopped. By the corner of my eyes, I could barely see her trying to see if I'm okay. My head is spinning and there's slight ringing in my ears.

' No, M/n! Don't worry. Don't worry. It'll be okay. You'll be fine. We'll get you to treatment.' she rambled, hugging my weak body. Tears streaming from her eyes as I hear a few sniffles here and there.

' It's okay. I'm fine. You don't need to cry.' was what I intended to tell her, but my voices have long gone. I feel so helpless as I watch her cry.

' Ah ah, not gonna happen, young lady. You see, he'll have to come with us. Maybe you can meet your boyfriend again in the afterlife.' the leader mocked, earning a few sick laughs from all his cronies.

' You monster! Why are you doing this?!' She shouted, my blood covering her uniform bit by bit.

I feel that she was yanked as I fall again to the floor, a pool of my blood beneath me rippled from the impact.

' Because I was paid for it. Why else would I be doing this?'

' You son of a bitch!' she spat out in disgust.

' As if you're anything better. You're just a lowly human. You know what? Let's make a deal.' I could hear him snickering, followed by the other demons around us.

' Move! Just fucking move, goddamn it! She's in danger you asshole!' I scolded myself for my inability to take action due to my tired vessel. I cried, trying desperately to go and remove her from danger.

' Seeing that you're quite the beauty, how about, we all have fun together? And, you know, maybe we'll let you see how he dies? It's a good deal, ain't it?'

They all laughed and cheered as my sister struggled to get out of his grip. Hearing all of that, something in me snap...
