Chapter 7

'So tired'

Looking around I now found myself in the living room of my bedroom apartment the sun gently stroking my face as I lay lazily against the couch.

'Wasn't I fighting some monster?'

Attempting to remember what I was doing I found my attention taken as I felt something heavy on my chest causing me to look down.

"Heeeeey honey"

It was my girlfriend her smile was beautiful as her porcelain white teeth shined brightly in the gentle sunlight that streamed in through the window.

"Hey, what's up"

Staring into her mystifying purple eyes, I felt like something was wrong, but I wasn't given a chance to think much as I felt soft hands cup my face.

"Can you sing I like?"

Hearing her request I smiled as I responded the feeling of uneasiness growing.

"Never understood why you love that song. Is it because you share a name?"

My response seemed to cause her to grow slightly disgruntled as she responded.

"Don't you think it's romantic?"

Rolling on my chest she faced towards the ceiling hands up as she spoke again her tone dreamy.

"Love beyond the material"

Hearing the phrase I've grown used to over the years we've known each other I sighed and gave in to her request.

"Fine fine I will sing"

Hearing my words she jumped from my chest running over to a corner of a room where a Cello rested quietly it's form well maintained and cared for as it was dragged taken from the corner, a comical sight considering the instrument was at the taller end as it stood at a solid 5'11 making my girlfriend who was 4'8 look ridiculous as she pulled it over to the couch.

"Ready when you are"

Holding the cello close as she spoke I watched her raise the bow in her left hand in anticipation for me.

'Here goes nothing'

"Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do~"

Matching my tone my girlfriend played the Cello slowly lacking the intensity the instrument is usually known for as it was slow and somber.

"I'm half crazy all for the love of you~"

Singing this part I felt the feeling of uneasy grow as it pushed through to finish the song.

"It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage~"

"But you'll look sweet, Upon the seat, Of a bicycle made for two~"

Finishing this part I stared at my girlfriend who picked up the next part her voice soft as she sang.

"Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true"

Suddenly I felt a coldness spread through my chest as the song continued.

"I'm not crazy all for the love of you"

Looking down at my chest I found a knife embedded in my chest.

"There won't be any marriage, If you can't afford a carriage"

*bam*

Collapsing to the ground all I could watch was my girlfriend playing her Cello seeming to in gross in the song to pay me any care.

"Cause I'll be switched, If I get hitched, On a bicycle built for two!"

Singing that last part I felt things go dark.

....

"FUCK!"

Sitting up I was Panting as the dream turned nightmare forced me awake.

"Well well well, look who is awake if it isn't Berserker himself"

Looking up from my cold sweat I finally realized I wasn't alone as alongside the girl that just spoke were two men.

Observing the group I started with the girl, who was short standing at 5'2, her hair a bubble gum pink stretched past her shoulders as it covered her eyes.

Moving onto the men I noted the massive man who stood at an impressive 6'5 his body hulk-like with a bald head resting atop it but what caught my attention most were the ritualistic tattoos that showed images of gears and human viscera.

The other man was relatively normal as he stood at a decent 5'10 with normal black hair and brown eyes but what did drag my attention though was the fact that his throat looked thoroughly scared.

"Hey, fucker she talking to ya!"

Snapping from my thoughts as the hulking man spoke, I got ready to respond but I was beaten to it by the girl who jumped to my defence.

"Come on bro give em a break, he looked like sliced-up meatloaf when we found em"

Seeming to agree with her words the black hair man who I guessed to be mute threw up a thumbs up.

"See your brother agrees"

Seeming a bit unhappy by this the man turned to face his brother.

"You may be my little brother but I will still kick your ass if you go agreeing with her every time."

Seeming to not take offense the mute man raised his hands as he made gestures as if putting on a ring.

"Fuck so if you're married, does that mean you are going to let her name your kid something pussy like Jeremy"

Making x using his arms the the black haired man seem to finally agree with his brother.

"Ignore those two, anyways my name is Love, that hunk of man is my husband Vic, and that's his brother Atom"

Hearing the introductions I nodded as decided to finally speak and introduce myself.

"Nice to meet you my name is Dane"

Hearing my greeting love nodded as I took the chance to look around noting how we were currently in one of the medical bays of the underground facility.

"How long was I out?"

Asking this as I got out of the medical bed they placed me in I let out a small grunt as the pain from my wounds ached a bit.

"Fucking ages honestly for a second I thought you became a potato"

Saying this Atom got closer taking a look at the bandages that I now noticed covered my body.

"Seems you healed pretty quickly though, I didn't have to change bandages again"

Nodding at his words love to observed my wounds as her husband Vic came to stand near as live spoke her voice serious betraying her previous whimsical vibe.

"So we need your help"
