[REMAKE] In the Shadows (Yandere!StalkerXReader)

Chapter 4: So, it's a deal?

  The next morning comes and you wake up. "Mh.." You yawn and stretch then open your eyes and look around. 'Well, Edwin's gone.' You frown as you stare at the side of the bed he was laying in before you fell asleep. Part of you knew this would happen. Part of you felt like he'd just hit and run. You sigh in disappointment and shake your head. 'Then again I did tell him we only had 2 hours until my parents came home... Maybe he left because of that?' You shake your head and get up from your bed. 'I wish he would have at least told me first, sheesh. You put on your old clothes then grab new ones and head to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

  After the pleasant shower, you head downstairs with a question on your mind. 'Where are my parents?' You look around once you get downstairs. You woke up later than usual today. Maybe they got drunk last night? 'Hm...' You frown then sniff the air. 'Breakfast??' Your eyes widen and you walk into the kitchen only to be surprised again. 'E-Edwin?!' So, he didn't leave!

  Edwin notices you walk into the kitchen causing him to smile. "Good morning, Y/n." "U-uh, good morning." You go over to him, seeing him making breakfast. "Why didn't you leave?" "Figured you'd get upset if I just up and left." He shrugs and fills a plate with cooked food. "And I didn't want to wake you. You were so tired after we stopped, I just couldn't wake you." "O-oh..." You blush a little. "U-um, but my parents... Did you come across them?" "Yeah." He hands you the plate and you grab a fork then head towards the table. "Really? And they let you stay?" You sit down and start to eat. 'Holy Macaron, this is good!!'

  Edwin gulps. "Y-yeah..." He lies. Truth is, your mother came into your room last night being loud which woke him up. She got a little violent and wanted to hurt you while you were peacefully sleeping so he, uh, might have gotten a little protective and angry and he got a little violent. It's amazing how you didn't notice your nightstand lamp gone.

  "So, have you seen my parents this morning?" You question and he shakes his head and says a low 'no'. "Oh, ok." You keep eating. Edwin gets done cooking his food so he puts the dirty dishes in the sink and grabs his plate then fork and goes over to the table. "So.." He sits down on the left side of the table, sitting close to you. "Hm?" You look up at him with the fork of food in your mouth. "Did you have a good time last night?" He smiles and blushes a little. You place the fork down and chew your food then swallow. "Y-Yes. I don't see why you have to ask, you were there..." "Well, we both have our own point of views." "True, true..." You blush a little and stare down at the half empty plate.

  After Edwin ate his breakfast, he put his plate in the sink and rushed off. You ignore how weird he was acting and pull out your phone. 'Might as well watch some videos while I eat...' You sigh. Edwin quickly rushes to your basement.

  When your mother tried to hurt you last night, he may have over done it with the hitting her head with a lamp thing... He was just so... So angry! You suffer enough at school, why should you have to suffer at home too?! You should have loving parents! Your father ended up walking in your room to see what all the noise was and Edwin knocked him out too; but with the lamp already broken, he had to knock him out with a punch. Your father is surprisingly weaker than Edwin, though he looks like a big man. Edwin opens the basement door and enters the basement, closing and locking the door behind him. He quickly goes downstairs and turns on the basement light, seeing your parents tied up. Yeah, he was scared they'd wake up and call the police on him so his fear led to him tying them up in a basement...

  "U-uh..." He looks at your parents. Your mother could barely keep focus with the blood coming from her head, but your father glared daggers at the man in anger. "G-good morning, Mr. and Mrs. L/n..." They both glance at each other in fear and anger then silently look back at him. "L-listen, I didn't want to do this! You both left me no choice!" He finally takes notice of Mrs. L/n's head and sees the damage. 'D-dammit!' He gulps. "W-what do I do...?" Edwin starts to pace around the basement. "If I call the ambulance, they'll tell the cops I did this and I'll get in trouble...!" He stops and looks at his hands and how pale his skin was from the fear he was feeling. He was absolutely terrified!

  Edwin looks back at the parents and walks over to them, seeing Mrs. L/n was now unconscious. "F-fuck it, you both deserve to die anyway! What else do you two do to Y/n?!" He glares at the father. Before he could speak, Edwin does. "I bet a lot! She doesn't need you! S-so die!" Edwin clenches his shaky fists since he didn't know what he was doing anymore. To his surprise, Mr. L/n's expression changes to the look of a poker-face as he glances at his wife then back at Edwin. It's as if he doesn't care that his wife is bleeding out next to him...

  "Y-you're fucked up..." Edwin whispers in disbelief to the tied up man, but it wasn't just for that man. It was for him too. They're both fucked up. Edwin thinks for a bit then puts his hands in his pockets. Thinking about it now, leaving them both here to starve to death doesn't sound too bad. They're awful parents, aren't they? Shouldn't they suffer down here? "Maybe I will leave you both here to starve to death." Edwin sees the man's expression turn to a stressed one. "Unless you can give me a reason why I shouldn't." He rips the tape off the man's mouth. "Do you have one?"

  "I don't abuse my daughter." Mr. L/n looks at the man standing in front of him in annoyance, but he keeps a rather calm voice for the situation. Edwin raises a brow and the man continues to speak. "Her mother would sell her stuff. She abuses her and gets drunk. Hell, she can barely even keep a steady job." Mr. L/n rolls his eyes. Edwin's eyes widen slightly. 'He.. Really doesn't care for his wife.' "Now, me?" Mr. L/n chuckles. "I love my daughter. I'm in a stable job. Sure I'm not the best father, but no father is. Listen, kid," He glances at Mrs. L/n then back at Edwin. "Truth is, you've done me a huge favor. In return, I'll do you one and get rid of the body." "U-uh." Edwin steps back in surprise and fear fills him. 'W-what the fuck?!' "So, is it a deal?" Mr. L/n tilts his head a bit. "W-wait, hold on! W-why did you want to kill your wife?!"

  "Tch." Mr. L/n frowns. "Why not? She's a bitch. She's abusive and always drunk. Guess you could say I've lost love for her. Besides... She kept hurting my sweet child..." Mr. L/n looks away sadly then that sadness turns into anger. "Nobody harms my child." He looks back at Edwin with a dark look in his eyes. "So, deal?" He goes back to the deal thing and Edwin nervously nods. "Y-yeah, yeah... A-alright..." He unties Mr. L/n who gets up and looks at his wife. "Time's up, dear~" He chuckles darkly then looks at Edwin. "Get out and have Y/n get ready for school." "U-uh, ok." Edwin nervously leaves and finds you in the living room ready for school. "There you are!" You frown and get up from the couch. "Come on, we're gonna be late for school!" You grab him and your back pack then hurry out of the house.

I just want you guys to know that the father is somewhat yandere, but like a fatherly yandere so he's overprotective and cares a lot for his child. Just in case you guys were wondering...
