Chapter Text
Author Note: This story is an alternative-timeline of another story I am writing. I am going to more heavily lean into the dark villain-romance in this story.
Like all my stories, this will have heavy Christian themes. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1
Ressa gasped. Her vision was blurry and her head throbbed. She took in her surroundings. She was upside down.
Blood leaked down her forehead. She was strapped into her seatbelt. It held her in place. She unstrapped her seatbelt and carefully removed herself from the ceiling of the car. She looked around with a solemn gaze.
Like always, her family was dead. This time there were no survivors. She looked in the backseat and saw the face of her little brother, Tim, dead.
Ressa crawled out the window of the side door and forced herself onto her feet. She inspected her body.
"No broken bones again," she thought.
Ressa moved to the back of the van and opened the trunk. She did her best to ignore the sight of her dead family. She grabbed a large backpack and slung it over her arm. She reached into another bag and pulled out a machete. She then dropped to her knees and whispered a silent prayer for her family.
"Until we meet again," she said.
Ressa turned her back to them and burst into a sprint.
"Where is he this time?"
"Rawrk!"
Ressa looked up to see a blurry creature descending upon her. She dropped to the ground just as it swooped over her head. The human-sized bat monster skidded to a stop in front of her and faced her with a snarl. She rose to her feet and looked at it with a wary gaze. It charged. She matched its charge.
When it neared and swiped a clawed hand at her, she ducked down low and dodged the strike before stabbing her machete through its eye.
[Level up!]
[Congratulations on reaching level 2!]
[You have been chosen. You have been granted a hidden class]
Ressa hardly paid attention to the notifications that suddenly appeared in front of her, on a ghostly, translucent screen. She kept running through a thick forest.
More creatures descended upon her periodically. They hardly slowed her pace. She cut them down with ease, like swatting a fly. They were minor distractions towards her true goal.
"Hah!" A loud voice bellowed in the distance.
Ressa's attention swiveled towards a certain direction. She finally found a clear area to look upon the scenery of the forestry Filipino countryside. She could see a swarm of the bat creatures flying through air in the distance. They were descending on a particular spot near a rural Filipino village about half a mile away.
"It's him!" she thought excitedly.
"Minor stamina potion, buy," she said.
A bright light flashed in her hand. Out of her hand, a green vial appeared. Ressa snatched the green potion out of the air and quickly sipped half the contests. It disappeared. She burst into a sprint again.
Her heart pounded faster and faster the closer she got to the village. It wasn't due to fatigue, but excitement.
She found herself running down a dirt road. She could hear the sound of screaming in the distance. This time she ignored the sound and moved towards a certain direction. A house on a hill. She was so close.
Ressa turned off the dirt path and began to run up a hill. At the top of the hill was a large house with a paved walkway. As she neared the entrance, she saw him.
A giant of a man was kneeling down on the ground. He hovered over the body of an elderly woman. His hand was in her chest. He pulled, and with his hand, came the woman's heart.
The man opened his mouth to reveal a row of razor sharp teeth that looked like they should have belonged to a shark. He bit into the woman's heart. He took a huge chunk out of the flesh and swallowed without chewing.
A ghastly black aura enveloped him and swirled around him. The ground quaked from the might of it. He stood up, craned his head back and closed his eyes. He let out a satisfied sigh as his body pulsed with power.
When he opened his eyes, he was caught off guard by a perplexing sight.
"David!"
The man looked at the person who called his name. It was a girl, no, a woman. He confused her for a little girl at first glance because of how short she was. She wasn't even 5'. She was wearing a conservative, ankle-length dress and a white head covering atop her head that obscured her hair.
"A nun?" he thought.
What she did next shocked him. She sped towards him and jumped into his arms. She wrapped her skinny arms around his neck. David instinctively embraced her. She was so short that her feet dangled in the air. He was forced to support her because she placed a passionate, greedy kiss against his bloody lips.
"I missed you," she said.
She spoke in a dreamy voice while looking at him with a face full of love. There was now blood on her lips from the kiss. He looked at her as if she were crazy.
"Who the hell are you?"
