FAKE || The Promised Neverland

♛ Chapter 37 - Threats ♛

Y/n's POV

The air was tense.

"Come on. fork it over already. I'm tired of your faces" The dark-haired man said. Emma was still in a headlock, a gun to her head.

You had no intention of giving the man the pen. You were pissed.

Rays POV

A dark aura came from my right, I looked behind me still deep in thought and I caught a glimpse of Y/n, she was terrifying. A shadow loomed over what seemed like glowing eyes. She was furious-

She was planning something dangerous...

And just as he thought that a dark shadow passed him with alarming speed. Everyone seemed to hold their breath as soon as they saw what had happened.

Y/n stood behind the older man, an arrow pointed against his head threateningly. The man was frozen and he seemed to be in shock. Emma took advantage of that and broke free of the man's grasp.

The man was now on the receiving end.

Y/n's POV

You crouched on the table behind the man, you held an arrow to his head. He was stiff.

"Y/n!" Emma yelled

"Drop the gun." You ordered in a threatening tone
The man smiled yet didn't drop it,
"You think you can kill me? You don't have the guts." He said in a mocking tone. In response, you pushed the arrow harder against his head causing blood to trickle down his head,
"You think I can't?" You said

"Everyone out!" Ray yelled and Emma pushed the children back into the hall, the only people that remained in the room were you, Ray, Emma, Gilda and Don. The door was still open so the children could still see and hear what was happening.
Technically the man was still at an advantage... oh- oops.

You glanced at Emma, she probably noticed too.
You let out a sigh and pulled the arrow away from the strange man's head and calmly walked over to the group,
"Y/n! What were you doing!?" Ray half asked half yelled,
"Sorry it was my mistake," You said scratching the back of your head
"Yeah! You shouldn't have done tha-" Ray expressed worriedly
"Yeah yeah, it's my fault sorry for not realizing he was bluffing, blah blah blah. I didn't have to go that far" You emitted

"What?! He could have shot both you and Emma!" Ray yelled as the man still sat on the table with a confused look on his face.
"But he didn't," Emma said
"Just like Y/n said, he was bluffing. He doesn't want to kill anyone, just chase us out... Am I right?" Emma asked turning her head to face the adult

In one quick move, the old man held up his gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed Emma's cheek causing a bit of blood to run down her face but the bullet still missed any vital organs.

"Like hell, I was bluffing." He said finally getting over the fact that the child that was about to kill him had just walked away calmly from him who could have shot her in the back.
"Well, see? You missed again." Emma said calmly,

The man seemed outraged,
"You don't want us around... But you really don't want to kill either. That's why you're trying to make us leave." Emma still stood firmly in her spot. She wasn't scared at all, and neither were you.
Maybe you had taken it a bit too far though... threatening to kill him and all... and you weren't bluffing-

"Bullcrap! I just don't wanna deal with 15 bloody corpses in my home that's all!" He yelled the gun still pointing at us.
What a lame excuse.

"I couldn't care less about you stupid brats... Don't think you're worth a damn. The next one ain't for show! I'm serious! For real this time, get outta here or I'm gonna blow your frigging head off!!!" He yelled boldly, he seemed to be trying to convince himself more than you... or that was just your imagination-
