Voices-Oneshot

I paced the dark stretch of cracked concrete before me. My worn leather boots sending rotted blood splattering in the air. Mumbling to myself I consulted the voices for advice. The only response I got was the eerie silence masked by the sounds of electricity zapping angrily. Why wouldn't they help me when I needed them most?  They would always vanish in my needy situations. My lips pressed into a grim expression before my clomping boots stormed down damp halls and down creaking stairs. Glancing around the walls I took notice of a few portraits hung on peeling walls. The faces of my comrades and I shone under a thick coating of dust. I carefully swiped the dirt from them until my eyes rested on a certain person. His sandy brown hair and blue eyes pierced into my soul. A pang of something strange stabbed my chest. Dempsey. He made me feel so weird. I couldn't explain the feeling that grew inside of me when I thought of him, and I wasn't sure if I liked it. The American opened up a softer part of me and I wanted to seal it back up desperately. Stealing one last glance I walked away and followed the nearing voices of my allies. I heard the booming voice of Nikolai and his laughter shaking everything around him.

"I remember when third wife tried to kill me with broken vodka bottle!" He grinned. "Let's just say that I didn't like the bitch."

I ignored the Russians drunken babble and proceeded to calmly walk towards them. Takeo was the first to notice me and he nodded his head respectfully as he gently swiped the drying blood off his katana.

"Hello Edward." He said while polishing his beloved sword.

"Edward!" Nikolai beamed raising his almost empty vodka bottle to acknowledge me.

I glanced in their direction before resting my eyes on Dempsey. Once again I felt that uncomfortable feeling creep up and seize me. Gritting my teeth I tried to shake it
away in vain.

"Dempshey," I said lowly. "May I talk to you for a second?"
His eyes rose up to look at me before he heaved himself from his sitting position and slung his gun over his shoulder.  

"What do you want Doc?" He asked giving me a suspicious look.

"Let's go somevhere more…private." I said motioning to Nikolai and Takeo.

Wearily he followed me until we were out of sight and hearing range of the other two. I spun around sharply and gave him a piercing glare.

"Vhy do you do this to me?" I asked accusingly feeling the strange warmth deepen as I drew closer to him.

He gave me a confused look and rubbed the back of his neck.

"What are you talkin' about?" He asked.

"Don't play SHTUPID vith me American." I spat closing in the steps between us soon feeling his hot breath tingling my skin.

I looked down at him and tried to shoo away the giddyness that enveloped my head. I had never been so close to the American before...

"Uh.." He mumbled backing away nervously.

Coldness replaced his presence and racked my body in sharp twangs. Closing my eyes I took in a short breath and prepared myself for the worst. The voices suddenly came filling my brain with madness. I clutched my head in pain as they all screamed at me. They wanted me to hurt people. They told me to kill everybody. I pushed them back with all my might and tried to focus on my current situation but the voices were relentless. They yelled louder and louder until I was shaking. Dempsey gave me a horrified expression and continued to back away afraid that I was going to snap. Next thing I knew was my knees gave out and I was on the floor biting back screams as the voices tore through my thoughts twisting them one by one.  I sat on the floor writhing in silent pain as I felt a hand grip my shoulder. Shooting up I saw Dempsey's face close to mine. I gave him a shocked expression and he returned it with a nervous and slightly embarrassed look. His blue eyes gazed sympathetically at me and I looked up at him with adoration. I buried my face in his shirt and pulled him close. He froze for a second and hesitated to move any further. Slowly I felt him relax and his arms wrapped around me in a comforting manner.  Losing myself in his warmth I felt the voices fade away and they were replaced with a strange pulsating feeling. I had never felt anything like this before. It was so welcoming and made my entire body go limp with joy.

I never wanted this to end.
