Crossing the Thresholds: Alastor x reader love story

Part 31 ~ The End of Something

At the drop of a hat, we were at Sissy's farm. Speaking of Sissy, she was armed. She instantly pointed the gun at us.

"Woah, woah, woah." I yelled out, raising my arms in the air, the rest doing the same. "Calm down. Put the gun down."

"And who are you?"

"Sissy, she's my other sister. It's okay."

Sissy lowers her gun slightly, "Were you lyin' to me the whole time?"

"Of course not. Look, I didn't know who I was. But I do now. And we are not the monsters that they say we are. We did not kill the president. We are not terrorists. We're not here to hurt anyone."

"Then...who are you?"

"The only one that can help Harlan."

There was a long pause, the air was cold, the tension was thick. The only sound coming from the barn in front of us. Sissy finally led us to the barn. Vanya opened the doors and what we saw was definitely not expected. Harlan was in the middle of this tornado vortex looking thing, suspended half way in the air, shaking violently. It seemed as he was having a seizure, obviously that's not the case. The waves were a light and dark blue with god streaks showing up every no and then. 

"Harlan! Harlan, it's me, Vanya! Look, Harlan, I know you're really scared, but I can help you. I need you to listen to me, okay? Can you do that?"

The only sounds Harlan made were grunts and gasps. Vanya turned to Sissy as she only gave a nod. Vanya turned back to Harlan, eyes glowing a crystal blue. She walked through the tornado looking thing, trying to help Harlan.

"Careful." Five spoke, as he noticed some of us taking a step forward.

"Harlan! I don't know if you can hear me..."

I heard a weird whoosh noise over Vanya's yelling coming from my left. It seemed as Klaus heard it too because he started walking to the direction of the sound. I followed close behind Klaus only to see two people standing off in the distance. One of them seems to be holding a briefcase. Wait- briefcase?

"Shit" I whispered.

"Uh, guys!" Klaus yelled.

"What?" Diego responded, walking over to us.

"Oh, shit."

"Who are they?"

"One's the Handler, and the other's Diego's girlfriend." Five answered Klaus' question as Alastor and Angel came up behind us.

"Lila. That's my ex -girlfriend."

"What?"

"You know what? Doesn't matter. They both look angry." Luther spoke up.

"Yeah."

"Our brother has that effect on people."

"I'm gonna go find out what they want. You guys stay with Vanya and the kid."

"I'm coming with you, too. Come on." Diego spoke to Five.

As they were about to leave, I spoke up.

"I'm coming too."

"What? Y/n, no."

"Five, look, I know you're scared something is gonna happen to me, but I have all of you here with me. Nothing's gonna happen to me."

"Y/n, please. I need you to stay here." He paused for a second before whispering in my ear. "You are also a lot stronger than these lunatics, so I need you here to protect them if something goes wrong."
