Work Text:
Ever since yesterday Rev has felt something he was completely foreign to. He felt content and... happy. At least that's what he thought it was. He began getting excited to see Wendy rather than loathe it. This morning was especially special.
"MORNING ROOMIE-" Mark cut himself of as he saw Rev already fully dressed and opening the curtains.
"Yeah, yeah morning, vampire," Rev was unusually bubbly today.
Seeing Rev like this was almost disturbing. Usually he'd only smile when he's scheming something. Not out of joy.
"You good, Rev?"
"Haha, never better!"
"You... sure?"
"Mhm," Rev nodded his excitedly, "hurry up we're gonna be late to class."
"O-Okay," normally Mark would think that this is a good change of pace, but it wasn't.
After a few minutes the two were finished and began making their way to the cafeteria.
"Rev buddy... is there a reason you're so... you know?"
"The dance, Mark! It's tonight."
"Y-Yeah it is... and?"
"And I'm gonna be taking Wendy, duh."
"O-Oh! I didn't know you were even going."
"Of course I'm going, vampire."
They got their breakfast and made their way to where Sera was sitting.
"Oh, hi Rev. Hi Mark," Sera said in her usual bored tone.
"Morning, angel. Is Wendy still in her dorm?"
Sera shook her head, "She's on her way."
"Good," Rev let out a sigh of relief as he sat down followed by Mark.
Mark had sat beside Sera, "Psst, Sera, is Rev acting weird to you?"
She responded with a nod and said, "I suppose, but as his guardian angel I don't need to question him. He's fine."
"Hm... if you say so," as Mark went back to eating his blood pudding he saw Wendy approaching them.
As Wendy looked around she saw Mark wave her over.
"H-Hey, Rev," the wendigo said as she sat next to the revenant.
"Oh, Wendy! What's up," for some reason Rev's cheerful expression didn't disturb Wendy. In fact it calmed her.
"I see you're full of energy today."
Wendy recognized that voice. It was Bella. Somehow she seemed more dead than a certain zombie.
"You good, Bella," asked the vampire.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just overslept," the witch glared daggers at Wendy after rubbing the tiredness from her eyes, "That's where I usually sit. Right... there."
"Ah, my bad-" then it hit her. A scheme. Some way to still be the annoying wendigo she is.
"Yeah, my bad~" Wendy got up and moved her tray closer to Rev before sitting on her lap.
"W-Wendy," Rev's face began to grow blue.
"What's wrong? I just moved like Bella wanted~"
"I-I don't think this what she me-"
"Come on~ I can tell you're enjoying it."
Rev looked around the table. The second his eyes met anyone else's they immediately looked away. Even the grumpy Bella.
"Oh calm down, Rev. I'm just teasing you," Wendy winked and grew a smug expression. Despite her words she still hasn't gotten off the revenant's lap.
"C-Can you get off then-"
"Woah, buy me dinner first, zombie boy~"
"You know that's not what I meant!"
"Haha, yeah no. I'm not getting up. Your reactions are priceless!"
"O-Oh yeah? Take this then," Rev said as he quickly cupped her cheeks and pulled her into a kiss.
After a long minute their lips part and Wendy is now the one blushing. "Ch-Cheater! That's not fair..."
"So? We both got what we wanted."
"... Idiot. Now everyone is staring."
"Oh... right. Forgot about that."
Before anyone could say anything else the bell rang. The loud shriek echoed through the once quiet cafeteria.
"We should probably head to class now," Rev said as he let go of Wendy.
Her face, still steaming with embarrassment, got up and straightened out her skirt, "Y-Yeah we should."
"Well then we're off. Bye, Mark. See ya, Sera."
"See ya, buddy!"
"I'm going to class," Sera got up and dragged Mark by the collar.
"Bella, you coming," Rev asked as he grabbed Wendy's hand.
"I'll... be there in a bit," her tone was unusually soft and there was a hint of sadness behind her words.
After everyone else had left the cafeteria Bella was left alone. She put her hand over her chest as she tried to control her breathing.
"Dammit... this feeling. Why won't it just leave?'
Despite all her efforts she just couldn't get Rev and Wendy out of her mind.
The way Wendy had her hands all over Rev.
The way he kissed her.
The way she knew soon enough they mi-
"No! Stop th-they wouldn't."
How did it end up like this?
Why was she regretting it all?
Why was she so... jealous?
"This is... this is just the price I have to pay."
Her head was spinning with thoughts.
Thoughts like what if she never helped Wendy.
Would she be the one in his-
"Stop!"
She held her head as if it could explode at any moment.
"She's your friend... you can't... you shouldn't think about her... b-boyfriend like that."
And yet her thoughts persisted despite her words.
Was this it?
Would she let jealousy consume her and risk ruining everything?
She began to walk.
To where? Even she didn't know.
All she knew was she needed to walk.
One foot in front of the other. At a slow pace.
She clutched the wall so she wouldn't fall.
"Where... am I going?"
Before she knew it she made it. She made it to Rev and Mark's dorm.
"Why... Why am I here?"
Without thinking she had opened the door. Wait, why was it unlocked anyway?
The two ends of the room were in complete contrast to each other. One was fully decorated in a gothic fashion clearly belonging to Mark. The other was empty belonging to Rev.
There was a long and deafening silence as she plopped onto Rev's bed. His scent is still lingering on it.
"... Rev."
Before her eyes fully shut she noticed an ominous glow coming from a nearby drawer.
"What is..."
When she opened it she saw it. The Necronomicon. Rev still had it all this time.
She stared at it. Still scared due to her past experience with the book. And then she remembered it.
The creature, Yog Sothoth.
"... I can grant you your greatest desire," she repeated these words to herself as she ran her hand across the cover of the grimoire.
She could feel the book's influence, but she closed the drawer before she did anything stupid.
Letting out a sigh Bella plopped back down on the bed.
"No... I can't let myself fall for it's stupid tricks."
She closed her as she took in a deep breath.
"But... maybe I could just..."
Wendy and Rev walked through the hall hand in hand. "So, uh... Wendy I've been meaning to ask-"
Before the revenant could finish a certain werewolf approached him.
"Y-Yo, Rev, I wanted to ask about the dance-"
"Ugh, not now. Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Um... with what?"
"With.. you know," he vaguely gestures to Wendy then to their interlocked hands.
"O-OH! I see. So you and Wendy are..."
"Yeah, so go."
"No worries uh, Rev. Just... wanted to know if you'll be at the after party?"
"After party? You mean like after the dance?"
"Y-Yeah! Wendy can come too."
"... Where?"
"Outside the dorms. There's gonna be a barbecue and everything."
"Uh-huh. I'll think it over. Now leave."
"Right... see you there."
Harry walked away while muttering to himself, "Dammit that was so awkward. And he has a girl now, so cool."
"Right... well back to what I was-" just like that the bell rang.
"Shoot we're late," Wendy was practically dragging a disappointed Rev to Alchemy 101.
Professor Baba Yaga was in the class impatiently tapping her foot. All of a sudden Wendy and Rev burst through the door.
"S-Sorry we're late-"
"Hm, I see mr. Vennett has started to drag you into his shenanigans. Just because the two of you are learning to tolerate each other does not mean you should cause trouble."
"N-No he wasn't dragging me into-"
"You don't need to defend him, miss Indigo. I'll make sure he's punished accordingly."
"I went with him willingly! And we weren't causing trouble, we just got a little distracted."
"Hm, is this true, Mr Vennett?"
"Y-Yes it's true. I was... gonna ask Wendy something, but we lost track of time."
"I see... fine if that's all, have a seat. But first... where is Miss Bella Donna?"
"Huh, she didn't get here before us," Rev asked as he walked to sit next to Wendy.
"No, unfortunately. We'll just have to start class without her then."
As class continued as normal minus the uptight witch Rev whispered to Wendy, "Isn't it weird?"
"What is?"
"That Bella isn't here. There's no way she'd skip class even if she was sick."
"True... but maybe something just came up?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know... like Lovecraft needed help with something."
"Maybe... still weird she would've said-"
"Mr. Vennett!"
Rev jumped slightly as Baby Yaga shouted his name, "Here I thought you were learning to be a better student."
"I-"
"I'll be assigning you extra work. I want it on my desk by tomorrow."
"... Yes, ma'am."
The rest of class went off without a hitch aside from Wendy teasing Rev occasionally.
The bell finally rang after what felt like an eternity. Rev and Wendy walked out yet again hand in hand.
"You know, cannibal, I'm surprised you've never been embarrassed to hold my hand."
"Hah, I could say the same about you, zombie boy."
"Well you're gonna have to let go soon. I got Rehabilitation after this."
"Oh right..." Wendy looked down and squeezed his hand.
"Don't look so sad, dumbass. You'll see me at the dance."
"H-Huh?"
Rev tilted her head upwards and stared into her golden eyes, "I'm trying to tell you I will be taking you to the dance."
She blushed, "W-Wait really?"
"Yes, really. There's no one I'd rather take," he leaned in and kissed her.
Her eyes widened before she wrapped her arms around his neck. The two shared a deep and passionate kiss right there. Right in the middle of the hallway where anyone could see.
They didn't care though. Letting the others see their love was a privilege.
When the kiss finally ended there was a dumb smile on each other's faces. "So, what do you say," Rev asked.
"Isn't it obvious? It's a yes."
A small smile tugged at Rev's lips before he pulled her into another kiss though this one didn't last as long. "Good... not like I was gonna let you go with any other guy."
"Haha, jeez you're such a weirdo," she clung onto him like a lifeline. Her grip on him unwavering, "But you're my weirdo."
The two laughed as their foreheads rested on each other's.
"Well... I'll see you there?"
"Yeah... I can't wait," there was a bright and cheerful smile on Wendy's face as she turned around.
Rev watched her walk away. He never really noticed the sway in her hip until now, or maybe she was doing it intentionally. Either way it was incredibly alluring. He quickly snapped out of it the second Wendy turned around and waved goodbye.
Classes were relatively normal for the rest of the day if not a bit boring without Wendy around. The only things out of the norm were a cheerful revenant and the lack of an uptight witch in the halls.
When the day began to come to a close everyone went back to the dorms. Not to sleep though but to change into dresses and suits they had saved for a certain occasion. The dorm halls were filled with countless voices saying things like, "does this fit me," or, "do I look fat in this," and even indecisive voices from people who had too many clothes.
As Rev entered his dorm he found Mark had already changed into an all too expensive looking suit. "Damn, you just had that laying around, vampire?"
"Well duh, I need to look my best, Rev. This is THE dance after all," the vampire's bright attitude never seemed to falter.
"Yeah... true," Rev went through his drawer before pulling out a cheap suit.
"Woah, buddy! You're gonna wear that?"
"Um... yeah? I don't have anything else, vampire."
"A-Are you even TRYING to impress anyone."
"I mean... does it matter? I plan on spending my time with Wendy anyway."
"Wendy? Why would... oh right. Still! You need to dress to impress, buddy! Here I have a few spare suits."
Rev watched as Mark through a few suits onto the bed most of which looked a little too expensive for his tastes.
"Got anything... normal?"
"Hm... fine. I should have something that dad got me from a human."
Finally something normal- a pimp outfit. A very flamboyant and extravagant pimp suit.
"Vampire... I said NORMAL!"
"Huh! But don't humans wear this all the time?"
"No! They don't-" suddenly something caught his eye. A simple black coat, dress pants, dress shoes, and a white under shirt."... Huh, that'll do."
"Uh, you wanna wear... that?"
"Yeah, I'm not trying to draw unwanted attention, vampire."
"Um... okay, but it's too... plain."
"Doesn't matter. I'll make it work."
"Alright... I'll see you later, buddy!"
Just like that he was alone. He stopped before he could reach out to the suit, "Something's wrong."
He hurried to a drawer and it was gone. "Dammit! Where did it go?"
His mind ran with panic, "It's fine I'm sure... that principal just took it back. Yeah that's it."
He took deep breaths and steeled his resolve. This wasn't gonna stop him from going to the dance. He put on the suit along with a few accessories and walked out of the dorm. By this point everyone was already at the dance so the walk was relatively quiet.
On his way there Rev ran into a familiar ghost.
"Wait! You need to..." the ghost sighed as another student just walked past him.
This of course was another thing Rev wished to ignore. He headed straight into the dance while ignoring the ghost's pleas.
"Now... where could she be-"
"Mr. Vennett."
Rev recognized that voice anywhere. Professor Lovecraft. The rehabilitation teacher. The class he hated the most. "Oh... you're here."
"There's no need to get angry. I'm only chaperoning, so you're not in any trouble. I'm glad you could make it."
"Yeah well I'm only here for someone."
"Miss Indigo, yes?"
"... Yeah."
"I know you two have grown quite close. Might I ask why?"
"We just came to an understanding. And it doesn't concern you."
"Very well, mr. Vennett. Please, do take care of her."
"... I will."
With that the professor left to check on the other attendees.
"Now, to find-"
"Buddy! You made it!"
"Gah! Don't do that, vampire."
"Oops sorry, haha."
"Whatever, what do you want?"
"Come on I just wanted to say hi. Oh! Right, you came for Wendy. I'll leave you alone now."
Rev let out a sigh, "Hold it."
"Huh?"
"... What exactly am I supposed to do at something like this?"
"It's a dance, Rev..."
"Never been one for parties, vampire."
"Well uh... just hang out, talk, and vibe to the music."
"Huh... alright. Got it."
"Well if that's all bye. Make sure to use protection!"
Rev blushed at Mark's words, "HUH!? Do you even know what that means?"
"Hehe, nope!"
And without another word Mark was off. Losing him in the crowd, Rev decided to walk around. That was until he ran into a certain Siren. He snuck up behind her and- "Boo."
"Gyah! Why you... oh it's you."
"Yeah, it's me."
"Why are you even here? Thought you hated the dance."
"I have a better question. Why are you stalking the vampire?"
"Wh-What?! I'm not- I would never"
"He's not interested, siren."
"I have a name! It's Nerissa"
"Yeah, I don't care."
"Wh-What!"
"You heard me. I don't care."
Nerissa clenched her teeth before walking away.
"Alright... back to looking for-"
"Hey," a monotone voice said directly behind Rev causing him to jump.
"Jeez! You just love doing that don't you?"
The angel tilted her head in confusion, "Hm?"
"Why are you even here? I thought you didn't care about this school... or the dance."
"I came to watch you."
"... Can you not?"
"No."
"I don't even know why I asked."
"... I'm hungry."
"Okay? There's plenty of foo-" when Rev turned towards the large table that was once filled with food he noticed it was empty.
A certain oni came out from behind the table with a burp, "Oh, my bad, bro."
"Gah! Stupid oni!"
"Oh... I wanted food," Sera's tone had a hint of sadness behind it.
"Listen, angel. If you want something just take it."
"From... his stomach?"
"No, from- just come with me," Rev took Sera's hand and dragged her to the kitchen. "Why's the door already open?"
"Ow ow ow ow," a certain zombie (best girl) was ramming into the fridge door repeatedly.
"... Why the hell are you here?!"
"Hungry... door... won't open."
Rev let out a sigh before opening the door. "Alright, angel. Go get the food."
"... How?"
"The hell you mean how? You make it obviously."
"... I don't know how to do that."
Rev let out a frustrated groan, "Fine. Just watch closely." He shoves Sam out of the way before getting buns, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and a patty. Rev worked quietly but swiftly and with sheer focus. Sera couldn't help but be impressed.
"You're... surprisingly good at this."
"Yeah well I had a lot of practice. Besides, there's not always gonna be someone to cook for you."
"Sam can cook."
"Hah, no she can't."
"I... can't. Rev... made me."
"Shut up, zombie," Rev punched her back into the fridge and closed the door on her.
"Wait... the undead exam. You were controlling Sam at the restaurant."
"Shut up no I wasn't," Rev yelled as he hurried to make the burger.
"You made the burger!"
"No, I didn't!"
"Yeah, he did," Sam said muffled by the glass door.
"Shut it, Sam!"
"... Thank you."
Rev's widened in surprise, "Shut up and eat already."
Sera just nodded before biting into the burger. Once she finished eating she looked at Rev like a lost puppy, "Can you teach me something else? Follow me."
Rev looked at her leave and then looked at Sam.
"Hello, is someone out there," Sam watched helplessly as Rev walked away. "Hello... Hello? It's me. Rev tends to bully me every time I see him. Just because... I'm a zombie, and I might be a little stupid."
Sera drags Rev back to the dance floor, "That. I want to learn what that is."
"What? Dancing?"
Sera responded with a nod.
"I don't exactly know how to dance either, angel."
She didn't respond, just stared at him.
"... Okay, I know how to dance a little."
"Then teach me."
He wanted to turn her down. He really did. He couldn't though, not now at least. "Fine. Just this once."
Rev held out his hand to which Sera stared at it, "Well? Are you gonna take it or not?"
She hesitated for only a moment before taking his hand. Rev and Sera made their way to the dance floor. The world felt as though it had slowed for only a moment. When they finally made it Sera's eyes widened as Rev pulled her close.
Their sudden proximity caused Sera to actually feel something. She could feel her face heating up, but she didn't know why.
"Just follow my lead, okay?"
She nodded. Sera followed each step Rev took. Each motion. Each deliberate breath. She followed it all. It felt magical.
"You know... this is usually done between couples."
"Couples?"
"Y-You know... people who are dating."
"Oh..." Sera thought for a bit before closing her eyes and leaning in.
"Idiot! I don't mean we have to date to dance."
"Oh..."
Rev suddenly stopped in his tracks causing Sera to stumble slightly before recovering.
"Why'd you stop?"
No response. Sera followed his gaze and saw her. The reason he stopped. She remembered that she's only here to protect him, not to grow close. That spot in Rev's heart was already taken by the wendigo standing before them.
Wendy stared at Rev from across the floor, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She wasn't wearing some beautiful immaculate dress, no. Her pride didn't allow for that. Instead she wore a beautiful suit similar to Rev's but somehow she pulled it off better. She took a deep breath before approaching the duo. "So, you two seem to be having fun."
"And here I thought you wouldn't show."
"Hah! As if I'd miss the chance to see you embarrass yourself."
Just like that Sera was drowned out by the two. She noticed Mark waving over to her and went over.
"Those two like each other now, don't they," Mark asked, not expecting an answer.
"Yeah... wanna date," Sera asked bluntly.
"Yeah... wait WHAT!?"
"So, cannibal. May I have this dance?"
Wendy blushed and stared at his hand. "H-Hold on..." she began to reach for her mask. Hesitantly she pulled it off to reveal her beauty once more. Only then did she take his hand with a bright smile on her face, "Yes... yes you may you formal dumbass."
He pulled her into his embrace, "Jeez, I'm just trying to be nice."
"Pfft, you and nice in the same sentence."
"Oh shut it. I'm only like this for you."
By this point the two could feel multiple eyes on them as they danced. They couldn't care less though as long as they had each other they would be fine.
"Good, I like getting special treatment."
"Heh, you're lucky I love you."
"I love you too, Rev."
Before the two could kiss Rev noticed Bella staggering in with an all too familiar book in her hand.
"B-Bella?"
The witch leans on the wall for support like she could fall over at any moment. Her breathing is ragged.
"Bella! Here let me-" as the vampire tried to reach out Bella slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me," Bella yelled although there was what sounded like a second deeper voice under her's.
An hour before the dance
Bella stared at the cover of the book. She knew Rev was up to something that day she helped Wendy be honest, but she didn't it involved the necronomicon. Before long she could feel it's influence on her.
"Bella~ Long time no see~"
She recognized the voice immediately, "I'm not falling for your trick again."
"Oh come on~ It's not a trick. Just a simple deal."
She knew the risks. She knew the "reward" the monster was offering. She KNEW the book had to be returned, and yet she wanted to take that deal so bad. "Can you promise me not to hurt bystanders?"
"Hm... I'll try to just take the deal."
"Alright... we have a deal," with that said Bella opened the book.
Bella coughed up some blood as her own skin began to crack. Everyone in the room stared at her in concern, especially Lovecraft.
"Miss Bela Donna, are you okay," the professor asked as he ran up to her.
"... Ah. That's better. Although... human flesh can be pretty weak."
"No... miss Bella Donna... you didn't..."
"Oh she did... and now I'm gonna have my revenge."
The now possessed Bella opens the book, sucking in Lovecraft.
"Students! Run!"
Everyone began to panic as the professor disappeared. Meanwhile the void creature began to approach Rev and Wendy. "So you two caused this vessel enough pain to make her use me again?"
"We... what," Rev asked.
"Yeah... what? She told me I should go after Rev."
"And yet... she is in pain. And now... I will keep my end of the deal."
Mark jumped between the duo and the possessed Bella, "HEY! LEAVE MY ROOMMATE ALONE!"
"... What?"
"REV CAME HERE TO HAVE FUN WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND I WON'T LET YOU RUIN THAT!"
"Hah... and what is a lowly vampire going to do?"
"Oh me? Nothing. I was just the distraction."
"The... what-" before it could finish speaking a bright beam of light hit the creature. "Ugh... what no? Hah! An angel?"
"... Guardian angel. Mark, take Rev and Wendy to safety."
"Got it!"
"Wait-" Rev was being dragged by Mark before he knew it. "Mark! Wait, what about Sera?"
"She can hold that thing off. Keeping you two safe is more important." Mark finally brought the two to meet with the rest of the students.
"Hey, your angel is losing... badly," said a certain Siren.
"No one asked for your input, siren," Rev said, letting out a groan.
"I have a-"
"Name yeah we know."
Rev paced around the room while trying to come up with a solution. "If I could just get that book away from her..."
Rev could hear the footsteps of a handful of students behind him.
"So, you need a distraction," asked Harry.
"... The hell are all of you doing here?"
"That thing is gonna destroy the school, no," asked Harrah.
"Well... yeah."
"Then we're not leaving," Mino.
"KADE is our home, Rev," Flynn.
"Whether you realize it or not bro it's yours too," Akuma.
"And... we'll fight... for it," Sam.
"So let us help however we can," Seabasstion.
"... Right. Okay. So, I need distractions on all sides. Flynn, Akuma, you two take care of the back."
"WHAT! Why me," the ghost complained.
"You can count on us, bro."
"Nerissa, Harry, you two take care of the right side."
"Hah! Yeah got it!"
"Who do you think you are ordering me arou-"
"Don't care. Mino, Harrah, cover the left."
"Of course, my star!"
"I'll crush that witch!"
"We're not killing her. Just take the book from her. And Sam... you can stay here with Mark."
"Wuh..."
"Rev! You can't seriously plan on going out there, right," asked the vampire.
"Mark... you like this school right?"
"Well... yeah, but no one should die for it like this."
"... I'm not doing this for just you, Mark."
As Rev turned and started to make his way to the door someone tugged at his shirt. "Rev... what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Wendy... I'm... I need to do this."
"I thought you told me you wouldn't try getting yourself killed anymore," she was yelling and shaking and... crying.
"Wendy... you dumbass! Why would you think I'm still trying to die?! I'm fighting! I'm fighting for you and this school that you love."
"You... what?"
"I hate this school, cannibal. And yet... I still want to fight for it because of you. You made me realize there are still things worth fighting tooth and nail for."
"Rev that... that's just idiotic!"
"I know... but... maybe this is what makes us human."
"... Please come back alive."
"I will... don't you worry," Rev gave her one last kiss before heading back with the others.
Rev cracked his knuckles and neck before taking out his grimoire, "Alright everyone... let's show this void monster what we're made of."
"YEAH!"
Everyone charged into the room and headed to their respective positions.
"Ugh! Insolent fools! When I finish off this angel I will end you lot!"
Sera shut her eyes as she was sent flying with a punch. Through squinted eyes she saw Rev, "Rev... Why are you here?"
A red solo cup was thrown at the possessed Bella's head, "Who. Threw. That."
A tentacle wrapped around Nerissa's neck, "Was it you or-"
Sera grabbed the creature's hair, "Don't hurt them!" With a well landed punch the creature was sent flying.
The creature touched its head and felt a warm thick liquid. "How... could this be? Bested by this... this THING. You. Insignificant. FUCK! THIS IS NOT OVER!" Another blast hits it this time from a certain necromancer. "Revenant... I will cut you down. Break you apart. Splay the gore of your profane form across the STARS! I will grind you down till your very bones cry for MERCY! MY HANDS SHALL RELISH ending you HERE! AND! NOW!"
"I'd like to see you-" Rev narrowly dodged the creature's charge.
"Ugh stand still vile creature!"
"Like hell I-" his eyes widen as the air is knocked out of his lungs and he's sent flying.
"LET'S SETTLE THIS!"
"Dammit I need to-" with quick thinking Rev was able to fire another blast to propel him away from the possessed Bella.
"GET OVER HERE REVENANT!"
"Sera, I'll give you an opening," Harry wasn't about to just stand by. After Sera nodded Harry ran into the fray, pushing Rev out of the way as the creature charged forward.
"IS THIS THE BEST YOU MORTALS HAVE?!"
Harry stood his ground, wrapping his arms around Bella and holding the creature at bay, "SERA NOW!"
I beam hit the creature and Harry causing both to groan. Harry was unable to withstand the attack and let go.
"HAHAH I'VE NEVER HAD A FIGHT LIKE THIS BEFORE!" It charged after Sera only to be intercepted by Mino Taurus.
"Try me on for size!"
"Show me what you were made for!"
Mino held the creature's arms at bay before headbutting it, "REV!"
Another barrage of necromancy hit the two. Mino held out as long as he could but eventually gave out.
"HAHAHA WHAT IS THIS FEELING?!" The creature grabbed Sera's head and quickly slammed her into the ground.
"GAH!"
"COME ON ANGEL! SHOW ME GOD'S MIGHT!" Again over and over the creature slammed Sera's head into the ground. Everyone stared knowing they were either too weak to fight or too scared. "FIGHT ME LIKE THE ANIMALS YOU LOT ARE!"
Before long the floor cracked under the repeated trauma as golden ichor covered the floor. Sera was barely breathing when the possessed Bella tossed her body aside and turned to stare down Rev.
"Now... TIME TO RIGHT MY WRONGS REVENANT!"
Rev's grip on his grimoire tightened before charging at them, "I won't back down!"
With a twisted smile the creature stabbed its arm into Rev's chest and out the other side.
Everyone stared with wide eyes. They knew this shouldn't have slowed Rev down and yet it did.
This feeling was different. Rev felt himself start to fade. He was finally dying.
"Dammit... the one time," he spat out some blood, "Bella..."
"What are you doing. Had enough?"
"Bella... I... know you're still in there."
"What are you blabbering about?"
He grabbed Bella's cheek, smearing blue blood on it before- snatch. The Necronomicon was finally in his hand and a smug smile on his face, "Got you~"
"NO-"
A green glow encompassed Rev as began to use the necronomicon.
"I-Impossible not mortal should be able to withstand the power of-"
"I don't like being told what to do. And I refused to let you roam free."
"NO NOOOO," the creature was forcefully removed from Bella's body and sucked into the book.
When he closed the book Rev staggered a bit before sitting against a flipped table, "Dammit... Why aren't I healing..."
"Rev!"
'Oh it's just the vampire... and Wendy... good she's safe.
"REV YOU IDIOT!"
"Heh... glad to see you, Wendy..."
"Well I'm not after that! Hurry up and heal idiot!"
"Can't..."
"... What?"
"I think... I'm finally dying..."
"No! You can't! You said you'd come back to me!"
"Guess... I'm still a liar... Mark..."
"Y-Yeah buddy?"
"... Look... after... Sera..."
His eyes dulled and were void of any life.
"NO NO NO YOU IDIOT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY!"
She held onto his lifeless corpse. Hoping that it would come back to life.
"Wendy..." Mark was fighting back tears while Wendy was letting them flow.
"REV YOU DUMBASS!"
"You... you didn't even say goodbye..."
