Tom Trench × reader {Behind the Mask}

Ch.8

Tom’s Pov: 

I ran through the crowd, making my way as quick as possible to catch the train before it left. I was wearing my black hoodie and black jeans with my black hiking boots. 

On my shoulder was my backpack. 

Dodging around other demons, I heard the sound of the train whistle sounding off, signaling that the train was about to leave. 

Panicking, I quickly grabbed the rail on the last train car and jumped onto the train as it was pulling out of the station. 

I sighed in relief, but tensed up when I heard someone shout my name. 

“TOM TRENCH!” screamed (Y/N) angrily, running into the station. 

She stopped when she saw the train picking up speed as it left. 

Spotting me still outside on the very back of the train car, she growled in anger and opened her wings, immediately taking off. 

Some of the demons that were still in the station began panicking, some running, others trying to hide, some even cowering at the sight of her. 

Who could blame them? 

She looks like an Exterminator. 

I panicked and quickly entered and ran through the train cars, on my way to the front. 

(Y/N) Pov: 

I quickly flew after the train, hoping to catch up to it before it disappeared into the tunnel portal. 

If it does, it will be heading anywhere in Hell, on its way to its next location. 

There were only a few trains, so the use of a portal helps teleport them anywhere more quickly, depending on how far their next stop is. 

The portals have to be set for a specific location before the train could pass through, of course. 

I quickly opened a portal and flew through it, another portal opening up inside one of the train cars right before it could enter the portal. 

Everyone who was inside the train car gasped in shock and surprise, startled by my sudden appearance. 

I ignored them as I slowly made my way through the train cars, on my way to the front. 

I smirked, knowing that Tom was cornered. 

There aren’t exactly a lot of places he can hide on a train, especially in a train car full of other demons. 

Witnesses.

Making my way through the train cars, I sent out a Shadow Sweep, the black shadows encasing the entire interior of the train car, traveling all the way down to the very front. 

I smirked when the Shadow Sweep bounced back, sending a vibration down my spine, my six outer ribs twitching slightly, making a silent clicking sound. 

I smirked, knowing that my Shadow Sweep had located the Gas Mask demon. 

I quickly took off, flying through the train cars as I made my way to the front of the train. 

Reaching the very first train car, I stopped and landed on the floor, scanning the train car. 

The other demons in the train car were startled when I appeared suddenly, some panicking slightly. 

Ignoring them, I slowly walked through the train car, looking for Tom. 

I turned to one of the passengers, a female Moth Changeling demon. She had green hair and teal skin. Her wings were bright turquoise with bright green details and glowing sparkles. Her eyes were bright purple and glittery.
