2 months later
Ryu's POV
"That'll be it for today, if you have any questions please stay behind if not you can leave." said the professor
I left the zoom meeting and sighed. Online meeting was pretty bland and boring since it's not that engaging. I quickly logged into my computer and waited for my next class to start.
It's been 2 months since the last time I saw Demon. I haven't heard from her over the past two months and it kind of hurt since I still love her. Kishimoto and Lydia try to visit as much as possible but they've been busy trying to track down Demon so you could say most of my time I forgot about the MVA.
And over the past two months, I've been jerking off. It's basically my replacement of cigarettes since jerking off also relieves me from my stress. I haven't touched cigarettes in so long but I don't really want it since it can kill me.
My mom's been telling me if I'm okay since I haven't been acting like myself the past months. But I don't really know how to explain all the shit I went through so I just stayed quiet and continued feeding her lies. I never thought that lying would save me in a situation but it was my only chance to keep my mom safe. But part of me hated myself for lying to her, well I've always hated lying to my mom.
"Hey there Ryu." said my professor
He wakes me up from my daydream and I sat up straight.
"There's no class today so you can hop off if you want to." he said
"Oh okay." I replied
"Remember that school will reopen next week." he said
"Understood, have a good day." I said
"You too, take care." he replied
I left the meeting and jumped on my bed. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through instagram until I got a notification saying that there has been some strange climate change all over the world but it could be ignored since it's not catastrophic.
'How can climate change be ignored?'
I sighed and got up, my mom was watching the news on TV about the climate change.
"Hey mom, want to go out for dinner?" I asked
"Oh you're done with your classes?" she asked as she turned off the TV
"Yea but do you want to go out for dinner?" I asked
"Yes that'll be nice. I haven't had food outside in so long." said my mom
"What do you want to eat?" I asked, "Korean food? Italian food? Chinese food?"
"I want some pasta today." she said
"Okay, I'll pay mom." I said
"No no no, I'm paying." she said
"Mom I have money, I'm paying this time." I replied
She slightly puffed her cheeks in defeat but nodded. I went back into my room and started scrolling through youtube, watching documentaries of aliens, ever since MVA I believed in aliens and all that shit so I like to watch documentaries about what we found out so far.
I looked at the time and gasped. It was 5:30 and the Italian restaurant gets crowded fast around 5:45. I grabbed my wallet, my phone and my car keys.
"Mom, get ready." I called out
"I'm already ready." she said
We enter our car and I start the car and drive towards the best Italian restaurant in town. When we got there I had to park two blocks away because it was slightly crowded. When we got to the front entrance they told us to wait ten minutes and we'll be able to get a seat.
"What made you want to come out to eat?" asked my mom
"I just wanted to treat my loving mom." I replied with a smile
"You're such a good boy." my mom said cheerfully as she gently pinched my cheeks.
"Hehehehe." I chuckled, "Oh yea I'm going back to school next week."
"That's great, you've been complaining how boring online class is." she said
"Yea, it's really boring." I said
"Excuse me, you two can have a seat inside now." said the waitress
She leads us inside and we take a seat and she hands us the menu.
"My name is Chloe Chen and I'll be your waitress for your dinner." she said
"Thank you." I replied
She nods and leaves us to choose our food.
"What do you want, order anything you want." I said
My mom nods and starts checking the menu. I already knew what I was getting before I left the house.
"I'll have the cream pasta with shrimp." said my mom
"I'm getting that as well." I said
I called over Chloe.
"Can we get two cream pastas with shrimp?" I asked
"Yes sir, I'll take the menus from you." she said
She took out menus and we waited for our food.
"Mom I have a question." I said
"What is it?" I asked
"What was dad like?" I asked
She stayed silent and took a sip of her water.
"Why do you want to know about your father?" I asked
"I don't know, I guess I never cared about him right now. I just wondered why he left us." I said
My mom looked uneasy about telling me all of this so she just shook her head.
"Why won't you tell me? I think I'm old enough to know what happened to my dad." I said while smiling
My mom sighed and looked around.
"Your father is in jail." she said
My smile slowly faded away, my heart sank into my stomach and my mind went blank.
"Why?" I asked
She took a sip of her water.
"Why do you think your grandparents don't talk to us?" she asked
"Because of dad? But what did he do?" I asked
"No because of you." she said
I sat there in shock and speechless.
"But I don't blame you, I blame myself." she continued
"What the hell did dad do?" I asked
My mom looked at me with slight teary eyes.
"Your father raped me." she said
Now it felt like Demon was playing mind tricks on me.
"I'm the son of a rapist?" I asked
"No, he's no longer considered your dad." she said, "He'll be in jail for the rest of his life so you won't be seeing him."
"Then that's fine, I don't want to see the person who raped my mom." I said
"I'm sorry it took you this long to find out." she said
'Well I never told her that I was raped, like a mother like son.'
My hatred for my dad was boiling hot, but I was never going to see him again so it doesn't matter.
"But your father wasn't a bad man." she said
I looked up at her confused.
"It's hard to explain, but it's my fault for letting him take advantage of me." she continued
"Mom that doesn't make sense, he raped you. That's it, hell he deserves execution." I replied
My mom doesn't say anything so I just dropped the topic.
"Here is your food. Enjoy and let me know if you need anything." she said
She gave us our food and I started eating it.
'I think I like hell's food is better.'
"Are you okay?" asked my mom
"Yea, why wouldn't I?" I asked, "He's gone, that's all that matters."
She smiled and nodded. We continued eating and talking for about 30 minutes and I paid and left the restaurant. The sun was setting and the sky was lit orange on one side while the other side was dark.
"The food was good, thank you." said my mom
"Don't worry." I said while smiling
I started driving towards home but then there was traffic for some reason.
"What's going on?" I questioned myself
But then the sky slowly started turning red, not like orange red but blood red. I slowly got out of my car and looked into the red bloody sky. Others around me also stopped what they were doing and looked up into the sky.
"What the hell?" I mumbled
The ground suddenly shook and I heard loud explosions all around me. I quickly got back in my car where my mom looked scared. I quickly drove away but then I saw the ground crack and break, creating a gap into the earth.
"What's going on? Earthquake?" I questioned myself
I kept driving towards home where it's most likely going to be safe but then the ground in front of me exploded and out of the ground came this huge monster.
I gasped as I recognized the monster from hell, it was one of those tall skinny ones with a giant sword made out of human bones. I quickly swerved my car and my mom screamed in fear.
'Demon, you broke the promise.'
I kept driving but then another came from my right and crashed into us knocking me unconscious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I groaned in pain as I slowly looked up. Blood trickled down my face and I looked at my mom who was still breathing.
"Mom..." I groaned
She groaned in pain and gasped as she realized where she was.
"Ryu are you okay?" she frantically asked
"I'm fine, are you okay?" I asked
I nodded and I looked around, everything around me was destroyed, houses, buildings, the ground, cars, there were some blood stains on the ground.
I looked to my left and saw that the car that hit us was still there, pinning my door from opening. So I unbuckled my seat belt and went to the back of the car and opened the door. I tried standing up but I had to hold myself up from falling.
But then I felt the ground tremble, I looked around and the ground shook again. But when I looked to my right, there was a huge monster that looked like a dragon but with a human body, legs like a goat and horns that belonged to a ram. But the bad thing was, it was headed towards us.
I approached my mom and I tried pulling the door open but it wouldn't budge. I tried opening it from the inside but it still wouldn't budge.
"Ryu, my legs are stuck. And my chair isn't moving." cried my mom
"I'll get you out." I said
I pulled on the door with all my strength but the door just groaned but didn't move. The ground trembled harder as the monster approached us.
"Ryu, run get out of here." cried my mom
"No! I'm not leaving you here!" I yelled
I pulled harder as I cried in anger.
"Goddamn fucking door!" I yelled
"Ryu, stop it! You're going to die!" yelled my mom
I kept on pulling but my mom grabbed my arms and forcefully made me let go making me fall backwards from pulling too hard. I tried getting up but the monster's foot came down onto my mom, crushing her.
My eyes widened and I started crying, my heart racing in fear. I clutched my head and I started feeling this weird throbbing in my chest and I saw that the sky was darkening, the clouds covering the sky.
I squeezed my eyes shut as I felt the wind pick up and I felt some kind of ticklin
g feeling in my heart. My head started aching, beating from some kind of severe headache. I clutched my head and fell onto my knees, the wind picking up and the tickling feeling began to feel like electricity.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed into the air
Three lightning bolts suddenly hit me and I screamed even louder. I started shaking my head in pain and I looked up into the sky and I roared, causing some kind of explosion. I watched as this explosion destroyed everything in its path, turning everything into dust. I saw so many lightning bolts around me and I saw that the explosion created a ditch in the ground.
The lightning bolts stop hitting me and the explosion ceased but I began to feel drowsy that I collapsed onto the ground.
"Mom..." I whispered
But I looked up and saw someone approaching me in the distance, and the person looked like my mom.
"Mom..." I called out
She approached me and kneeled in front of me but she then grabbed my jaw and lifted me up. My vision was blurry so I blinked a couple times before I was able to see who it was in front of me.
"It's been long Ryu." said Demon
"You-you..."
I completely blacked out
