Reader's POV

I narrowed my eyes, then laughed.

"Don't shoot you? You've got me laughing,"
I said through my laughter as I neared him.

I threw him against the wall, one of my hands choking him, the other having the gun.

"I'll take everything from you, you rat. You took everything from me. It's only fair,"
I told him.

He didn't say anything.

"Because of you... my fathers are dead."
I growled.

"Because of you... I'll never get to see them again.
I'll never get to hug them again, or tell them how much I love them."
I stated.

"And because of you, my little brother hasn't woken up.
I haven't gotten to see his smile in such a long time...
All... all of it, because of you,"
I told him.

"So, Peter, I really really can't wait to kill you. I can't wait to watch blood pour from you,"
I said.

"Y/n!"
Ray and Emma.
I held Peter tightee.

"Y/n!"
Norman?
I dropped him, he panted slightly.

Norman backed me away from him, hugging me gently.

I hugged him, he took my hand into his.
I calmed down instantly.

Emma took over.
"We don't intend to kill you. We came here to talk to you."
Emma said.

"Inviolable noninterference.
We won't retaliate or attack the Ratri Clan in anyway from now.
In return, we want you to approve our freedom.
We'll all go to the human world. We want you to approve and not get in the way. To leave us alone."
Emma said

"You're going to forgive me? Really? You're going to..."
He paused.

"I can't forgive you. And Y/n, she'll never ever forgive you either.
But I don't want to resolve this by killing you.
Hating, resenting, fearing... I don't want that anymore!
All those feelings... are things I don't want anymore.
We want to smile. We want to be free."
Emma said.

"That's what we've been fighting for all this time. It's not just our fate or circumstances. Hatred and fear too. We don't want to be imprisoned anymore,"
Emma told him

That's when I blacked out for a second.

"Hey..."

"Hey, kiddo."

A sigh.
"Hey, my little potato db,"

I opened my eyes.

"Papa?"
I asked, looking around.

He gave me a smile.
"Hey,"
He said with a wave, sitting down next to me.

"I've missed you,"
I said, hugging him.

"I know, db,"
He said, ruffling my hair.

"Oh, what you did to that bastard was just great,"
He said with a snicker.

"You're definitely my daughter,"
He added and I smiled, high fiving him back.

Another vision appeared in front of us.
What... what was meant to happen, but didn't.

"Papa!"
A younger me called out.

"What?"
Yuugo asked, going over to me.

"Is this yours?"
I asked, showing him the gun I had in my tiny hands.

His face went into panic.
"Yes, give it to me... pleasee... don't pull anything,"
He told me.

I snickered and covered my mouth with my other hand. I threw it at the wall.

"Y/n!"
He exclaimed, his jaw dropping as the toy broke.

He deadpanned.
"You're good,"
He said, picking up the pieces and setting them in front of me.

I simply grinned and handed him the real gun.

I smiled brightly.

"But.... I'm going to lose you,"
I muttered.

He nodded.
"Once again..."
He mumbled.

"It's okay, Y/n... I'm always going to be with you."
He said with a smile.

"Thank you..."
I said softly, hugging him tighter.

"I'll see you soon...goodbye, Y/n..."
He said, kissing my forehead.

"Bye... Papa."
I said with a forced smile.

Then, he was gone.

.

.

I felt myself behind lifted.
"Ray?"
I asked.

I was laying my head on his shoulder.
Emma was still talking to Peter.

"Let us be free. We're all prisoners. The demons... humans.
Yes, both you and us.
But the world will change. We can change it now. Let's change.
Let's end the 1000 years of suffering now. Let's live together,"
She said, holding her hand out.

"Peter Ratri..."
She added with a smile.
