Don't Look
You frown up at the building, feeling even more uneasy now. Zoro discreetly takes your hand and gives it a gentle squeeze in an attempt to put you at ease. Law had moved to your, floating as his tanned hands rested on your shoulders, tail wrapped around your waist again, chin on the top of your head. Surprisingly he didn't lash out at Zoro for touching you.
"Yosh! Lets go!" Luffy cheers, eagerly striding in. The others follow with you and Zoro trailing behind.
"Whatever you do, don't let them know you can see them, don't even react to their touch," Law whispers in your ear. He had already instructed you to pretend he wasn't there, and to act like you were blind to them. You told Zoro what was going on and though he seemed extremely troubled by, he gave a silent nod. You swallow, not responding in case you were already being watched. The first room was huge, you couldn't help but to be awed by it.
"And so, our crazy group enters the haunted mansion and is immediately awed by the large interior," Usopp begins to narrate as he records everyone's expressions on his camcorder.
"Oh ho! This'll be fun!" A strange voice comments loudly, but you were the only one who heard. Law's grip on you tightens at the sound and you know it's another demon. A large shape lands in the middle of the the group. They hear and feel his landing and swiftly stiffen and look over in surprise, but unlike you, they can't see anything you just stand there tense. The pale demon's red gaze glides over to the tan demon on your back. You simply glance around carefully trying to avoid looking directly at the blood-red haired demon that approached you. "Trafalgar, it's been a while," He rumbles.
"Eustass-ya, still haven't left the mansion I see.... Are you afraid to leave?" Law responds, you pale slightly as a growl leaves the other demon. Your hand tightens around Zoro's and he looks over in concern.
"Are you okay?" He murmurs softly.
"J-Just a little scared," You admit quietly, feeling Eustass' red gaze go to your face.
"Oh she's cute, your host?" He inquires, tilting his head as he tried to look into your eyes. Law tightens his grip even more.
"She's mine, don't look at her," Law snarls. The other demon blinks, gaze going back to him.
"Heh, I've never seen you take a shine to a human before, her energy must be really tasty," Eustass comments, licking his dark lips.
"___? What's wrong? You look really tense," Luffy comments, making you aware that you had frozen in spot. You force yourself to relax, and give him a smile.
"I'm fine, this place is creepy and smells bad," You answer, pretending not to see the demon in front of you as you sniff at him. Law rumbles a chuckle, completely putting you at ease.
"She's right, you're a offending my nose as well," He chuckles. The other demon lets out a snort and turns away.
"Don't leave your human alone Trafalgar, I might take her for myself," He sneers. A vicious and kinda scary snarl rips from Law's chest that even your group could hear him. The atmosphere around you chills and darkens slightly. You gulp and the others look around warily, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were obviously frightened. The demon looks back at Law and smirks. "Oh ho, scary Trafalgar, but that's only gonna make me want her more," He chuckles before disappearing deeper into the mansion. You put a hand over one of Law's, rubbing the back of it gently in an attempt to put him at ease.
"Calm down, it's okay," You assure everyone gently. Law relaxes and hugs you from behind, nuzzling your neck.
"That must've been a bit stressful for you, are you okay?" He asks softly. You lean your head on his in response, patting his hand. The others seem to relax as well.
"M-maybe this is a bad idea," Usopp says shakly. Luffy however seemed even more excited. Law starts to chuckle.
"Either he's brainless or fearless," He muses, sounding a lot more happy than usual. His tail starts to move restlessly around you, and his hands lightly drum on your shoulders.
'<i>Crap, Luffy's energy must be making him hyper...</i>' You assume.
"Alright, lets carry on with it then," Sanji sighs, before lighting up and turning to you, Nami, and Robin with hearts in his eyes. "If you get scared you may cling to me~~!" He gushes.
"Actually, I have Zoro already," You inform him, making the said teen smirk cockily. Sanji gaps in shock while Law grumbles and tightens his arms around you.
"You have me too..." He mumbles childishly. You giggle, he was really cute on Luffy's energy.
"I know," You murmur under your breath. He smiles at that.
"Good idea Zoro, ___! Lets split up into teams!" Luffy decides.
"Nami~ will you be my partner!?" Sanji gushes.
"I'm going with Robin," Nami replies.
"Then I get Luffy!" Usopp decides. Sanji sighs and looks down at the smaller brown haired teen.
"Guess it's me and you Chopper," He says. You shift uneasily.
"I... I don't think we should split up," You tell them.
"Don't worry, it'll be fun!" Luffy chimes.
"Actually I'm with ___," Usopp murmurs.
"It'll be fin it'll be fine!" Luffy assures already walking away. With that the others wonder off in their groups. You let out a childish groan.
"I'm sure it won't be that bad..." Zoro tries to assure but he was obviously worried too.
"He's right, it should be fine as long as you don't respond to the demons," Law murmurs. You release a sigh.
"Alright, lets get this over with..." You sigh, venturing deeper into the mansion. For about an hour or two it was calm.
"Thirty seconds," Law mutters, making you pause.
"Thirty seconds?" You echo. Zoro looks over in question you give him a shrug, mentally counting. In thirty seconds there was a crash and a scream. You and Zoro exchange a look and run for the sound. You turn the corner as another chair flies past. "Whoa! Zoro look out!" You gasp, looking over but he was gone. You sweatdrop. "Nevermind..."
"He's very good at getting lost..." Law comments.
"___!!" Nami cries, colliding into your chest.
"Nami! Where's Robin?" You ask.
"Something dragged her off!" She gasps, looking at you fearfully.
"Which way?" You inquire. She points down the hall where another demon was standing with a smirk, reaching for a table to throw. "Go find Zoro, I'll get Robin," You tell her, swiftly pushing her out of the hall as the table comes flying at you. You swiftly stop it with your hand, feeling a slight pain in your wrist.
"Dont throw things at my human, Dellinger," Law growls when the demon blinks in surprise. You swiftly run past the demon, listening for Robin.
"Robin!?" You call.
"Someone's in the room straight ahead, " Law murmurs in your ear.
"Got it," You breathe, colliding into the said door and bursting into the room. Robin was being pinned to the wall by a demon with long black hair. You grit your teeth and take out your prayer beads, lunging forward and saying a prayer. Your hand connects into his back and lets out growl, ripping away from you and dropping Robin. You swiftly catch her as she falls forward. "You okay?" You murmur. She nods, taking in gulps of air.
"Lucci, you don't normally venture out," Law comments.
"The commander wanted to come out for a bit, are you really that far out of loop Trafalgar?" The demon responds. Law tenses, tail tightening around you.
"Come on lets get you out of here," You breathe, helping Robin out of the room with Law close behind you.
"Thanks ___, I'm not sure what you did, but we'll talk about that later." She murmurs.
"Deal," You tell her.
"___-ya, you should get your friends to get out of here," Law whispers. "If not, they may not survive the night."
