Dear princess, I love you¹||Five Hargreeves

Y/n's Pov:

I knew I should have stayed, but Five would have kept telling me to leave and to go somewhere safe. I needed a way to get him out, or just someone atleast to help, but no one would believe me.

I would just be told to go back home, and I knew that I couldn't cause god knows what's happening there.

When going down the hall I saw a room with the door open, peeking in it looked like a meeting room of some sort, or even to take time to themselves maybe. I looked around and saw that no one was around and went in, papers were everywhere on the table and the wall.

Was hell breaking loose?

I glanced at some of the papers on the wall and didn't really see anything important, just a new building being built. Then I looked at the ones on the table, same thing. There was no way that could have been it, there had to be something more.

But there was nothing, even when checking every drawer, table, you name it and nothing.

Did Five get himself into something that he wasn't?

Well, he did, technically, sort of. I snapped out of my thoughts and realized that the drawer I had been looking in had the key. Wait, the key! I grabbed it and while going back to Five's cell a thought came up. 'What kind of idiot leaves a cell key in a drawer?' I saw that Five had seen me.

"Y/n what the hell!? I told you-" while he ranted I unlocked the door and he stopped talking and looked at me, the second the door opened he grabbed on to me, hugging me. There it was, that feeling I shouldn't have towards him because I can't be with him, but still do anyways.

Five's Pov:

I hugged Y/n, being glad that I could do more than just hold her hands, but I knew that she'd want to follow. My plan, she was going to hate me afterwards but I can't risk something happening to her, I slowly raised my head from her shoulder and looked at her.

I cupped her cheek and kissed her soft, slowly turning us around while she was distracted.

Even though the kiss wasn't long, it was still long enough to put the key in my pocket and push her into the cell and close the door.

"Five- what are you doing?" what was I doing.. "I need you to stay where I know you won't get hurt, I promise I'll come back for you." Saying that made me have second thoughts, what if I didn't come back because I was dead.

Then what?

Before she could speak I left, and went to look for Scott, Y/n was never the person I needed to kill, the whole time it was him. That asshole who kept taunting me and somehow beating the shit out of me. The things I'd do just for this one girl, it felt crazy, but that's what you do for love, right?

I checked the one place I knew he'd be, the castle. Where else would he even go other than there, the only thing that was worrying me was Y/n.

What if I didn't make it back alive, I had to for her. I promised. I stood in the hallway with the balcony outside, and stared at the clock across from the balcony door.

It was bad for me to be doing this, I was on the urge of dying at this point.

I had already gone unconscious for Y/n a couple of days ago, do it again and that would be it for me. "I knew you'd show up eventually, Five" I turned my head over and let out a slight chuckle.

"I know the truth about you, you know.. Scott. You can't hide anymore behind a fake identity, and once people find out. They'll look at you like a monster like they did with me." I spoke slowly walking towards him.

I didn't care that he towered over me, I just had to find his weak points. "Like usual, you have no clue what you're talking about. You're just a misunderstood orphan who lost his parents at a young age.." he tried to insult me with that, but he had already done that before and I laughed at it.

"Yeah, maybe I'm misunderstood but atleast I didn't pretend to be someone. Like you"

"Where is she?" He asked, but I shook my head, "I asked you a question, now answer me or I'll-" I cut him off by mocking him, "You'll what? Stab me? Punch me? Do that all you want, but you're not getting anywhere near her."

What worried me, was that he was quiet, he was never this quiet. Especially with me. "Better question is Scott, where's your brother? David, the real non asshole one." I asked.

"Dead, just like you were supposed to be."

My jaw clenched at those words, it felt like it was locked and I couldn't open it to speak. Theres no way, he had to be faking that his own brother was dead.

But then again, he was wanting both me and Y/n dead. "Why'd you kill him?" I asked quietly looking at him, he walked around me sighing, my head followed him when he was behind me and stopped.

He'd be trying to make his first move any second now with his position. "Usually executions are public when it comes to criminals, like you for example. Let's start off by 1978, wow, where do I start?" I was scared on how he knew that.

"What about it?" I questioned, "2 people, 2 innocent people that you killed that night. I knew them.." that night, a husband and wife begged me to not kill them and that they had 2 kids.

No it couldn't be, it can't be, it can't, it just can't be. "I was 12 years old, and you, an 8 year old took them away!" I didn't know what to say and panicked slowly backing away, "Look, it was just a job I was given. It was nothing personal-" he scoffed, "They did nothing wrong, you know that." He walked closer to me, and I continued backing away from him.

Damn it Five, think! Now isn't the time to be doing this shit, I'm dead.

I reached over to a small table with a vase on it, he was able to grab me but I still got the vase in time to smash it against Scott's head. He dropped me, and I fell on my back, I looked at him realizing I was fucked if I stayed down here. He went to grab me again but I moved in time for him to fall over, making him more pissed off.

Without realizing it until after the fact he grabbed my leg now back on the floor, I quickly crawled and grabbed a peice of glass from the vase that was near me and stabbed him in the eye to distract him.

He screamed holding where the glass stuck out, I got up and got on top of him using what little strength I had left and began to strangle him. He tried getting me off of him but we were both tired and weak, he couldn't get me off of him.

Less than 5 minutes later he finally stopped breathing, I checked to make sure he was actually dead and he was, thank god. I got up, but when I did a sharp pain began in my side, why? He didn't stab me or anything.

But then it hit me, I fell, the glass, shit. I checked seeing how bad it was, and all it did was open a wound that was already there. But it wouldn't stop bleeding, but I needed to get to Y/n first.

I held on to the wall while holding my side and slowly made my way back to her.
