a quiet world (sequel to: together forever- ira x reader)

chapter 5: anything for a quiet life

Y/N
"What?" Was all I could mutter out. Dead? My own ears must be playing tricks on me. They couldn't be just dead. And everyone too. I refuse to believe it. No, they couldn't be. Regina's playing a horrible, horrible joke on me.

"They are." Regina said, her voice trembling. "They were blasted through the walls and it was horrifying. They're really gone Y/n. Just like that. I didn't even get to say goodbye to my sisters. I can't believe it."

Regina started to break down before my own eyes, as I could only stare out to the horizon. My eyes seemed frozen to the fence, as if it were the most amazing piece of art work made before. The blonde girl fell to the ground, hugging my leg as if she would never let go.

"What's going on?" Someone mumbled below me. Everything seemed fuzzy and I couldn't think properly. My head was spinning, my ears were ringing and all I could think about was something to drink; preferably water.

"Ira!" Regina exclaimed, now clinging tightly onto Ira. All Ira could do was hold onto the girl. He looked confused and scared as to why Regina was crying so much.

"Y/n.?" Ira asked carefully and quietly. I could only join them on the ground and start to cry myself. They were all I had now.

I R A
What was happening? Why was everyone crying? I was taken aback by the sudden change. I remember there being a storm of some sort, then falling  asleep, which doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe I was half dreaming at that time. Or I'm dreaming now. Either way, I would like some answers.

"Why are you two crying so much?" I asked Regina and Y/n quietly. I held them closer in attempt to soothe them. They calmed down but the tears didn't stop.

"Ira.." Y/n tried to say. "Everyone's gone..."

Gone?

"What do you mean 'everyone's gone'. I would like some context please!" I tried not to raise my voice.

"They're gone, Ira! They were blasted away!" Regina yelled, clinging onto my shirt with tears streaming down her face.
I felt a mix of emotions swirl around my body. Does she mean Maya and-

"I-"

"Nice to see you all awake and well!" A voice said slyly from above us. I had no time to say anything. Everything was moving too fast.

"Rachel...?"

"Hi!" It was Rachel. The one and only but... different. She had blinding, electric blue hair and her eyes were a lighter shade of blue too. And she was smiling; evilly as if she had set fire to the world and just managed to escape her own mess. Was she the one that did this?

"Rachel? H-how are you-"

"Heeyah!"

At the speed of light, Regina was pushed back by a bright yellow light. She lay on the ground shocked. As for me and Y/n all we could do was watch.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I screamed, outraged. She must've been the one who did this! I never trusted her!

"Hi Ira!" Rachel said smiling and waving innocently at me. I felt a sinister aura coming from Y/n, as she glared daggers towards Rachel. I held Y/n tighter in my arms.

"RACHEL!"

"What?" Rachel replied, suddenly seeming bored.

"Were you responsible for that big explosion?" I asked her. Behind my back, I had a wave of energy enough to knock someone out of their senses. These would only occur if needed.

"Yeah."

Yeah? That's all she says! She's disgusting!

"Y-you monster!" Regina yelled, tears starting to run down again.

"No one asked you to speak!" Rachel said childishly before throwing another wave at Regina. In return, I threw mine at her, knocking her off her feet.

"Y/n run!" I grabbed Y/n's hand and we began to run in Reginas direction. Once we got to Regina, I quickly picked up Regina in my arms and continued to run, Y/n close on my trail.

"COME BACK!"

************
"Are we safe?" Y/n asked, out of breathe once we reached somewhere safe. I wasn't exactly sure what 'safe' was, but it was far from any of our houses and any big attractions in the main city area. We ended up near a funfair in the countryside, not so far from the city. We all looked a mess; filthy hair, dirty clothes and scruffy appearances all together. Did I mention the badly injured girl, curled up in my arms?

"W-we can't just... walk in all causal. They'll call the police on us! Call is crazy people that broke out of a mental home..." Y/n explained, slightly muttering. She wasn't wrong though.

"But where else have we got to go? Everyone's gone according to... well you two. I still need to get my head wrapped around it. I don't understand-"
"It's all my fault." Y/n whispered to herself more than me. "If only I was there. If only I never left, I could've helped whatever happened. If I only-"

"If only you would calm down." I said, cutting off Y/n. I thought of ways I could best reassure Y/n while still holding Regina. "It's going to be okay. It's not your fault and there was nothing good to stop it. We can't stand here, screaming and crying for them to come back. I would know.. I've already lost my parents."

To my surprise, Y/n's face became guilty. I've told her minor details about my parents and my family; I prefer not to talk about it.

"Remember what Bel would say?" Y/n questioned me. I raised my brow in questioning. "After he would get yelled at, he would tell us what life was like before everything. He would say,

"Anything for a quiet life."

"Remember?"

This particular memory is a frequent one. Bel would bring it up every Sunday after he came home. All he longed for was a small family, with peace and quiet. But, we all know, that's nearly impossible when you're like us.

"We should get going. You can change our clothes right?" Y/n asked, still visibly upset.

"I think so. I've done it many mornings before school."

With a click of my finger, we looked much better. y/n was wearing a dark green jumper with dark green trousers to match, I was wearing a simple black t-shirt with normal jeans and Regina wore a cropped blue top with high rise jeans. It wasn't my choice; I just took clothes from their wardrobe and let my powers do the rest.

"W-we should go before Rachel finds us, but first we have to wake up Regina." I said, placing down the sleeping girl. Y/n followed and got down on her knees besides us. She slowly placed her right hand in the centre of Regina's head; a glowing light in response. It was dimmer than usual, but I decided not to say anything. Within a couple of moments, Regina woke up. Without saying anything, she must've understood our situation.

We all stood, glancing every couple of seconds while walking towards the fair. In a split second, we were all in each others arms, silently crying.

Well, good luck to us.
