and scary

Why is it so dark?

Why am I here?

What happened?

Oh yeah, now I remember

I'm dead

"Ray! Ray!" a girl called as she jumped on the raven-nette boy who happened to be reading a book.

"Y/n, what is it?" the boy asked as he closed his book and the girl sat next to him. That's me...

"I found this flower. Isn't it lovely?" the younger version of myself giggled as she took out a flower. How lovely...

"Sure. If you say so." Ray replied bluntly as he got back to reading his book. Why am I seeing this?

"Ray, when I grow up, I want to see a flower field filled with lovely flowers!" the girl exclaimed. We were around 5 at this time

"Oh? Good luck with that." Ray replied as he didn't even look at her. Ray didn't change that much, but he has a bit.

"Come on! Why are you grumpy? Turn that frown upside down, you dummy!" the girl grabbed Ray's hand.

"Wh-wh-what are you doing?!" Ray panicked as he had a flustered face. He kept looking away and looking at her hand.

I smiled gently as I lifted my arm and looked at my palm. I still remember his warmth.

"I wanted to see the flower field" I heard. I turned around to see a little girl with h/c hair.

"Right? We both wanted to see the Flower field." my eyes widened as I covered my mouth with my hand.

"I sincerely apologize. I wasn't strong enough. I'm weak. I couldn't protect them...they saw me die because I'm weak...I'm sorry..." I whimpered as I held back my tears and muffled my shaky voice.

That's right...I never wanted to die. I wanted to be with them. I wanted to go to the human world. I wanted to be with them. With my happiness.

"Then what are you waiting for? Are you just going to sit here and do nothing?" I looked up to see the young girl with tears in her eyes as she offered her hand. She's trembling.

"We're going to see that flower field. With everyone. With our happiness!" she stammered. She had determined eyes.

That's right. I was so determined when I was a child. Where did my determination go?

"Indeed!" I shouted as I reached for her hand and grabbed it. We both smiled kindly at each other before she vanished.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Damn it. Damn it all! N/n, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me..." Y/n heard. She fluttered her eyes open to see Ray crying as tears dropped on Y/N's face.

"Dummy" Y/n giggled as she reached her hand out and caressed Ray's cheek. His eyes widened as he saw Y/n smiling at him.

"Y/n? You're alive?! How? Why? How?!" Ray started crying with tears of joy as he brought Y/n closer to her chest.

"My hunches are always right, you should know that, Ray." Y/n whispered as she embraced him back.

"Your wound." Ray released from the hug and looked at her stomach. He was stunned when he saw that it was gone.

Her clothes were bloody. But the holes were gone. It was as if it never was there.

"I'm half demon, I regenerated." Yn smiled as she stood up with the support of Ray.

"I hate you so much for scaring me like that but I lo-" Ray got cut off from saying the words he had wanted to say for a very long time.

"Y/n?!" Emma yelled as she yeeted Ray off and embraced Y/n as she sobbed into her chest.

"Y/n?!" they all yelled in unison as they pounced Y/n with tears streaming down their cheeks.

"Ouch" Ray groaned as he rubbed his back. He did not expect to be yeeted before saying 'I love you' to her.

"Mama?" Y/n muttered as she saw her non-biological mother's lifeless body lying on the ground.

"What happened to...mama?" Y/n gulped as she held back her tears that were trying to escape.

"She...she...she sacrificed herself to protect...me." Emma mumbled as she started tearing up again.

"Mama..." Y/n started tearing up as she walked up to her lifeless body. Her body seemed to have been pierced just like what happened to Y/n.

Isabella was not a demon so she did not have regeneration powers. Well, Y/n had regeneration powers.

Y/n didn't die because of her demon blood. Her core has been transported to her eyes and torso so she was able to regenerate.

I'm sorry if this is confusing. It's hard to tell if you're still human or not, so allow me to explain.

You are a human with demon blood in you. You have horns and increased blood lust. You don't eat humans, but you crave to see the blood of a demon.

Your core is now on your right eye and torso. One of the cores have been destroyed, but you were able to live since you had a second core.

You also have increased strength and can understand and speak the Demon language.

You indeed have fits that are different from others. Your fits increase your blood lust and cause you to lose your humanity, thus, becoming more demon-like.

By demon-like, I mean the inability to speak the human language and understand it. You become more like a wild demon that takes on a human form.

I hope my explanation somehow helps you understand more of your character since the way I interpreted it is rather confusing.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

I remember that one time...that one time you asked me...the question that I had been avoiding for two whole years

༻✦༺ ༻ 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤༺ ༻✦༺

"Why do you have so much blood lust?" Ray asked as he saw Y/n covered in blood as she laid on the grassy field.

Ray had offered to join her on this trip since he wanted to see how the gentle and kind Y/n he once knew would fight.

This happened before Emma and Ray decided to go to the Seven Walls and mee Him.

"Why?" Y/n repeated as she sat up. Ray approached her and sat next to her while occasionally giving her some side glances.

"Because..." Y/n paused as she noticed a flower. She gently touched the beautiful petal of a peony.

"..." Y/n stayed silent as she debated on whether to tell him the truth.

"You can tell me anything, I'll be able to handle it." Ray reassured her, but it still made Y/n sad.

"You don't have to tell me, but I would like to know." he said as he grabbed her hand and held it gently.

"I can't become human..." Y/n mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Ray asked.

"If I don't find the owner of the blood within me, I won't be able to become human." Y/n paused once again.

"No...not only should I find them...I also need to take their life away, then I can become human again" a tear escaped Y/N's left eye.

"I want to be human again"

༻✦༺ ༻ 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 ༺ ༻✦༺

It was that time when I couldn't control my inner demons and I was thirsty for blood.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Emma!"

"Mujika!"

Emma explained what had happened to their mother. Emma's voice kept cracking when she tried to explain it.

"I see. Your mother...but you're free now. You really did it. It's amazing. Congratulations." Mujika changed the topic.

"Thanks. It was because of you and Sonju...because you helped us." Emma smiled.

"I'm happy for you too, Mujika!" Jemima mentioned.

"Nobody's hunting you anymore and your friends won't get killed." Yvette said.

"Yes, I'm grateful. Thank you so much." Mujika thanked the two, young girls.

"And the promise?" Sonju reminded.

"We'll implement it tonight." Ray replied.

"Good. The sooner, the better. Let me see it through, as a friend and as the Queen." Mujika smiled kindly.

"But where and how are you supposed to implement the promise?" Lannion asked.

"Oh, that's...below Grace Field!" Emma exclaimed as she led them to a room with golden water and a flight of stairs in the middle. Everyone gasped.

"An island floating above Golden Water..." Oliver muttered.

"Just like the underground lake at Goldy Pond." Violent mumbled.

'Stairs?' Y/n thought.

"What is this place?" a sister asked.

"I've heard of it. The passageway the Ratri Clan used to come and go as well as to transport goods." Norman answered.

"It's kinda crazy how the gateway to the human world is under the place we grew up in." Y/n giggled.

"I know right. All this time, the way to the human world was just below us. We could've escaped a long time ago." Ray agreed as he slyly held Y/N's hands with a blush.

"Stop flirting you two! Anyways, I'll use the water to tell أ£#$ that I want to implement the promise, and then we can go safely to the human world." Emma informed.

"Tell? How? Are you going to the Seven Walls again?" Jemima asked.

"No, actually..." Emma got cut off by the one and only Phil.

"How about Y/n? She's not really human. Will she be able to go?" Phil asked as he pointed to Y/n.

"Actually..." Y/n paused as she took off her hood to reveal her small horns that looked like it was about to disappear. Its f/c color was fading slowly.

"Ever since we killed the Queen, my horns have been slightly fading away. I'm slowly but surely becoming human again" Y/n grinned.

"What about the reward?" Y/n reminded as she changed the topic from her to Emma.

"I researched about remaking the promise. Everything comes at a price. So, you have to give a reward, right?" Y/n played with her hair nervously.

"You're not going to die or be forced to stay in this world or anything like that, right? Y/n frowned.

"You never mentioned the topic. You're going to be able to go to the Human world too, right?" Y/n asked which made everyone realize what she meant.

"Don't worry. Me, everyone here, and the children in the other farms will all survive and won't be left behind. We can all go to the human world, alive." Emma gave a reassuring smile.

"Then what was the reward? What's the price we're paying to go to the human world?!" Y/n accidentally raised her voice which made Emma got silent.

༻✦༺ ༻ 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤༺ ༻✦༺

"The reward I want is your family."

"Huh?!"

"Your family is most important to you, but there's a problem. Your family will all go to the human world. That's the promise, so I can't have your family."

"So what shall we do?"

"It's fine. This time, for you...I don't need any reward."

༻✦༺ ༻ 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 ༺ ༻✦༺

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA?! NO FREAKING WAY!!!!"

"So all of us children can go to the Human world, without exception and alive?!"

"It's impossible that there is no reward!! Spill it!"

They all shouted in disbelief. They couldn't accept the fact that what Emma is saying is true.

"That's what I thought too, but..." Emma paused.

" 'For the last 1,000 years, you've had everything taken from you, so those 1,000 years is the price. You have entertained me in various ways, so that's enough' " Emma repeated أ£#$ words.

"Really?"

"I mean, if there's no need for a reward that's great but..." Lannion was cut off.

"No, something's off..." Ray paused for Y/n to continue his sentence like what they always do.

"It's too lovely to be true." Y/n continued.

'Everything comes at a price. Nothing is for free. It's too good to be true. Something is indeed off.' Y/n stared at Emma with an unsure expression.

"Emma, if it's a deal that you have to sacrifice yourself, we'll just have to remain in this world!" Norman exclaimed.

"No! There's really nothing!" Emma panicked.

"And you already know how dangerous it is to stay in the Demon world. I'm not being sacrificed." Emma said.

'Something is off. Super duper off. I don't feel good. Something bad is going to happen' Y/n thought as she started playing with her hair to relieve her nervousness.

"Really really?" Phil childishly asked.

"Really really" Emma replied.

"Yay!!" they all cheered except for Y/n, Ray, and Norman.

"It still doesn't make sense. That أ£#$ could never..." Ray got interrupted.

"You think they have an ulterior motive?" Norman asked.

"I thought about that too." Emma said.

"Maybe the human world isn't that peaceful. Even if it is, there's still a lot we have to worry about." Ray paused.

"Are they going to accept us? And what about the seizures Norman and the others have, excluding me since I don't have them anymore. The future may not always be lovely. Maybe that's why there was no reward? But still...I don't trust it, something bad is going to happen, but it's just my hunch." Y/n stated her hunch.

"But even if so...I want to implement this promise and go to the human world with everyone. Because I know I can get over any worries or challenges as long as I'm with you guys." Emma said with such determination.

"We can work to create...a brighter future." Emma smiled with her eyes filled with determination.

"Let's go!" they all cheered. Emma followed the procedure. The Golden water rose as it formed stairs which astonished every one.

"Bye! Thanks, Mujika!! Sonju!!" Emma waved as she held Phil's hand tightly.

Ray grabbed Y/N's hands in his which stunned her. Y/n felt his grip tighten, Y/n smiled gently and held his hand with so much care.

"I missed your warmth" he whispered as he stopped holding her hand which caught her by surprise.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his face at the crook of her neck with a smirk.

Y/n could tell he was smirking which made her cheeks heat up. She would always turn into a tomato when Ray smirked.

"Yeah!" Sonju waved with a proud smile.

"Good luck!!" Mujika exclaimed.

"It has indeed been a lovely time!" Y/n waved.

"Yeah!" Sonju replied.

"It has! Thank you!" Mujika smiled at Y/n.

'Thank you two, for being part of my jar of happiness' Y/n smiled.

'We'll always be...friends' all of them thought.

Countless of flashbacks flooded Y/N's mind as she remembered being clueless to now escaping the Demon world where she thought was her happiness.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"What is this?" Emma asked as she peeked inside the gate, using the iron bars to support her.

"It's a gate, it connects the inside and the outside." Norman answered Emma's question.

"Outside, huh? We've never been outside." Emma continued to look inside the gate but I'm sure it's too dark to see anything.

"That's because we've been here ever since we were born." Norman answered once again.

"Mama always tells us, 'Don't go near the gate or fence in the back of the forest because it's dangerous'. Well, something like that." I repeated mama's words from what I remembered.

"That's obviously a lie." Ray finally spoke from beside me. Ray looked at me as he said that.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"I believe it because it proves all of my theories and it answers all of my questions. Why is our life so perfect? Why is one suddenly appearing when another leaves to become demon food? Why does Mama find us so easily? Why did I have such a horrible feeling when Conny left? Why does the gate smell like blood? Basically, I believe you."

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Y/n's weakness is how she carries others' burdens to the point that she forgets to take care of herself. She relies on others for her own happiness and forgets her own beliefs and opinions. She mostly relies on Ray."

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Boo." I said as I faced Don's frightened face. Don jumped and almost fell.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"What happened to that child or rather children? You didn't cause them to be shipped out early, did you? You didn't sacrifice one of my children for our sake, did you?" I said as I slowly approached Ray with my dead eyes.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Ara ara, do you really want to know? If you want to know so badly. I'll tell you. Just don't scream or react in a reckless manner, understood?" I said as I glared at them.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"The ones who know about the secret of the House are Norman, Emma, Ray, Y/n, Gilda, and Don, the six of you!" Sister Krone started twirling towards us.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Y/n, you're our princess!" Naila said as she grinned. I felt my heart get warm again. This happiness....is overwhelming. I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"It's better than having both of you die. Remember what we said? We'll all escape together, with everyone. If you guys aren't part of this, I won't accept it!" Emma said.

"Please...stop...it hurts...."

"Add more anesthesia on her"

"Get the syringes ready"

"I want to see them..."

"What's her stats?"

"It's decreasing!"

"Keep adding more fluids!"

"Let me see their smiles..."

"She's resisting the anesthesia!"

"Add more you bastard!"

"My happiness..."

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"AHHHHHHHH!" a scream was heard from the room where Y/n was being experimented on.

"The fluid is kicking in." someone said.

Y/n struggled against the straps that were tied around her to avoid her from escaping.

More screams came out of the young girl's mouth as she felt like every single one of her bone is breaking.

Her screams of agony echo

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"...Those monsters want to know what a premium quality would taste if they mixed it with their blood." the scientist smirked as he held the syringe with the demon's blood in it.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Scream for me. Scream as I break every single one of your bones like what you did to me. Scream as I stick syringes all over you. Scream as I take off your fingernails one by one. Scream as I slit your throat. Scream as I take your eyeballs out. Scream for me." Y/n placed her hand on her cheek as she grinned.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Ruthless here is one of our strongest comrades! So we'll be fine. The most important thing is that, as long as we have him, as long as the boss is with us, nothing can hurt us!" Hayato confidently said.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"You didn't tell them?" Norman asked and I stayed silent for a while. I can't

"I don't want to" I replied. I can't bring myself to.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"There was this one time when Y/n was holding a child and she was so clumsy that she dropped her. Y/n was so shocked that she thought the child was dead and she fainted. She faints when she's scared or traumatized." Emma laughed.

"Emma! That was one time, I didn't mean it." I said as I covered my face embarrassed making everyone laugh.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Listen, Emma, the world isn't so kind that you can pick everything at once. The world isn't so kind like you. The world isn't like you! Don't keep expecting things to go your way. You can't solve anything by just talking! Look, if we don't exterminate the demons, our family will never be safe enough to smile!" I yelled as I lifted Emma by her collar.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"There are a few things that I regret, but I don't regret the path I have taken." I replied.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Ok, let's go to the Royal Capital!"

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

'I won't let them hurt my family! I won't fail again! I've become stronger, quicker, smarter, with this I can save my family and never fail again! They are my happiness!' Y/n thought as she finished the core of the last demon she had to kill.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"As long as I save my children, then so be it. I don't care whose blood I spill or even the amount of blood I'll spill. Demon or human, I'll kill those who harm my children. I won't let anyone take away my happiness from me." Y/n clenched her fist.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Let's find happiness together, Peter Ratri." Y/n smiled as she offered a hand for him to take.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"Y/n! Come on, don't die on me! We promised to see that flower field together, right? We promised to get married in front of a flower field, remember? Don't you dare die on me!" Ray yelled.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Y/n smiled one last time in the Demon World before every single one of them vanished into thin air.

'I'm glad...that I was born into the Demon world...where I met my happiness' Y/n thought.

'But I know...deep down inside of me...this isn't to go quite as planned. Something will go wrong, I just know it.' Y/n closed her eyes and embraced Ray.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

(A/N: Eyoo! I had a very difficult time writing the flashbacks without crying. It made me feel so so so emotional when I realized how dedicated I was to write this. Thank you to those who have been reading this story, I really appreciate it. I'm going to be writing chapter 179 and 181. Anyways, that's 3520 words for you. Peace out!)
