Trigger Warning: Some depictions of violence

You think you know what you would do. It's so clear, watching all the wrong choices, seeing all the injustices, the mistakes. You would know better, do better, be better. You'd never devolve so much, never lose so much of yourself in the first place. 

I mean, that's what I thought, anyway. And the world gave me a tool to right those wrongs, to prove that I was better. 

And I did. For years, I was justice itself. It felt good, to be right. It felt good to have a new chance, to make a better world. I was sure of myself and my purpose.

Do the good guys ever see it coming? Their fall from grace, their pivotal moment where they transform from hero to villain?

Author's note: I haven't written something in a long time but I've been missing my man Adrian so I've decided to write about him and my girl Dawn. This is just written for fun!

Warning: violence

—

Snap.

The sounds of twigs breaking beneath his feet was deafening in the cold, silent night. Adrian was vigilant, keeping an eye out for ferals lurking about.

After all, New York isn't as safe as it used to be, now that Gaius was here to make it his playground.

Looking around, he noticed that Central Park was littered with the ashes of vampires and corpses of the living, the stench of their blood almost unbearable. But he had no time for that, he had to focus, he needed to find her before it's too late.

Adrian couldn't forget how Gaius Augustine took her from him.

It was late in the night and Adrian just dropped her off at her apartment after a stressful shift. Something inside him was reluctant to let her out of the car, as if it was warning him that things were about to go wrong. If only he had listened.

Then perhaps he wouldn't have left her in a room where Gaius waited to make her his prey.

It was only until the next evening that he received a video message saying that Gaius has taken her in his grasp.

“My warrior prince. We have so much to discuss, especially after you and your friends tore my limbs off and locked me in that box.” Gaius said with a smile that was as cold as it was alluring, making his way to the familiar face in the background.

Dawn.

“I would find you myself, but I don't see why I should when I have your little pet here with me. I bet she's dying to see you here with us, don't you think?”

Gaius took her tear-streaked face in his hand and snarled, before facing the camera again. “She's such a beauty, Adrian. I'd hate to see her without an arm, or perhaps without her life.”

Dawn's eyes widened at his words, her cries growing louder as his grip tightened on her jaw. “A-adrian.. please..” She cried, her voice filled with pain.

Gaius spoke once more, his clear voice cutting through her cries. “Meet us at the council room. Don't let us down.”

The screen went black.

Adrian realized that his hands were shaking and his chest was tightening with anger. He couldn't imagine the fear she was feeling right now, he couldn't bear to look at her, knowing that he had let her down.

He was making this right, he's coming after her.

Adrian was pulled out from his thoughts by the sound of low growls surrounding him.

Fucking ferals.

He didn't have time to deal with this, not now. He ran past the ferals, puncturing the chests with his knuckles of those who got in his way. His rage was practically blinding him, everything was a blur. All he cared about was her and saving her from that monster.

Adrian burst into the council room. He was breathing hard, his body filled with adrenaline and rage.

His eyes scanned the room for Dawn.

Where are you?

"Adrian!"

His heart felt like bursting out of his chest at the tone of her voice.

The sound of fear.

He turned around, facing the eyes of the girl he has failed.

“It's okay.” Dawn muttered, trying to smile as her eyes started filling with tears. “You did nothing wrong.”

It was then that he noticed that holding her tight was Gaius, his face contorted into a devilish grin.

Adrian knew what was going to happen next. There was no stopping it.

“I'm afraid you're too late.”

With a sickening crunch, blood trickled from Dawn's lips, her breaths becoming gurgles as the thick liquid filled her throat.

Adrian stared in horror as Gaius' fist pierced her chest, and in his hand was her still-beating heart.

Adrian woke up with a gasp. His face dripping in sweat as he felt his heart thumping hard in his chest.

Instead of the council room, he found himself back in his bedroom with Dawn sleeping soundly beside him.

She's safe, he thought, it was just a nightmare.

He took a sigh of relief as he settled beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. Holding her as if his life depended on it.

“Adrian?” She muttered sleepily, her voice soft and gentle. “You're awake.”

“Mhmm.” He hummed. “I had a dream about you.”

She turned around to face him, her hand gently holding the side of his face. “It sounds bad. Do you want to talk about it?” Her eyes were starting to fill with worry.

The sight of those beautiful hazel eyes, focused on him, was enough to wash away all his worries, all his pain.

One thing was for sure.

Cmon guys, we all know that his FC is The Witcher 🤦‍♀️
