guarding hearts. - day two: demon

annie leonhart x f!reader - bodyguard au - part two of six

A bodyguard; you deemed the whole situation unwarranted, but your parents insisted. The world is dangerous. You had heard Annie Leonhart was so much worse.

Dead eyed; when you first crossed paths, she didn't look your way. Her suit was pressed but roomy. Her hair was slicked back but still falling to frame her face. With utmost certainty, she pledged her loyalty to your family — to your demons.

You wanted to tell her to keep it, to find something more fulfilling, but she would be compensated handsomely for her efforts.

Money, it appeared, was all that mattered.

It always did.

Once she took the chip, finding John was easy. She doesn't care about the painless life or the City of Light—her John is here and safe, his desire firm against her body—everything she's done is worth it.

ALIE isn't the first or the worst demon Emori has worked with. She's like a child, figuring out the world and her place in it, why her creator left her. She appears before Emori in the fleimkepa's crypt, deciphering the generations-old paintings on the wall as John tells his version of the story.

Emori doesn't understand, but she lets herself believe.

Day II: Demon —————————————————

Euvidne sped up, the tents and stalls fading away into a multicolored blur, so indistinct that when she shot a glance over her shoulder, she almost didn't notice that the cloaked figure was still there. Standing quite far away, but very much there. Even when the rest of the world returned to clarity, it was still obscure, an indistinct smudge of black, a shadow, a demon. It leaned against one of the stalls, talking to a vendor. Euvidne crept away, making for another booth. When she checked again, it had moved closer.
