It's Not Over Yet, A Varian X Reader COMPLETE

Chapter 20: Hello to The Past and The Future

Andrew, his crew, and I set out into the waters on our way to Corona to start our plans on taking over the kingdom and getting revenge.

We board a pretty small boat made out of dark oak wood, the sales black with a few rips here and there. The size is pretty slow to be able to hide us when we arrive late in the night so as not to be noticed by anyone.

As soon as everyone boards the boat, I go up to the watchtower and begin my long watch for Corona. Then the boat is pushed forward, and the acre is lifted up, and off we sail towards Corona to execute our revenge plan. The day turns into night, and I haven't left my post, not even to eat. The night grows, and I notice Andrew come outside to check up on me, but my gaze is fixed in front of us. I hear him climb up to the post with me, but I don't break my gaze from the black ocean.

"Hey kid, you haven't eaten anything since we left, I brought you some food, you should also rest I can take night shift so you can head to bed" he informs handing me a plate of chicken and mashed potatoes.

I look down at it and take the chicken beginning to eat it and staring out into the ocean again

"I appreciate your offer but I'll be okay, I have a lot of energy left in me, I'll be up all night, why don't you rest up, you're the leader so you'll have to lead the rest of the crew around once we get there, I'll be okay."

He nods in defeat and heads back down the ladder and inside to get some sleep. Now is my time to play around with my powers to make sure I get a good grip on them and won't lose control when we are causing trouble in the kingdom.

After two days of traveling on the boat, we arrive in Corona in the middle of the night, just in time to hide the boat and set up camp somewhere we won't be discovered.I jump off the boat and take in the scenery of my former home full all my selfish betrayers that I used to call friends, and at one point lovers. Seeing Corona filled me with rage, the urge to get my revange right then and there surge through my entire body making me tremple in excitement and a smirk creeeped its way on my lips Though I knew I had to hold back because if I act on my own accord it'll get me and the rest caught and possibly killed and we can't afford injuries or even death.

"Does anyone know of any good hiding spaces here that will hide this many people?"

One of the members asks in a hushed tone as Andrew fumbles with an old map of Corona, trying to figure out where to take everyone

"I have a place, it's in the village but I know no one will suspect it because the house has been run down for more than a decade and no one has entered since the last family that has lived there." I chimed in

I led the way to my childhood home that no one has lived in since I and my family moved out. All of us crouching low to the ground and making little to no sound as we move through every street and house so as not to wake anyone up and alert our presence. I see the house off in the distance, all run down with broken windows and damage done to it, probably from kids throwing stuff at the house.

I have to almost kick the door down to get it open because there seems to be garbage blocking the entrance of my home. Once inside, the group starts to spread out exploring the place and maybe finding somewhere comfortable to rest for the night.

The floorboards are covered in dust and debris from the roof aging and falling apart, the once dark oak flooring now pale with dust and other pieces of wood littered around, broken glass everywhere, and some of the furniture that was left behind either no longer in its place or torn up also covered in dust and broken glass.

"Well, I guess we'll have to make do of this for now. Well, I'm going to head to one of the rooms and get some sleep. Goodnight, everyone." I say, walking away towards my parent's old room.

I close the door behind me to give me some privacy which I needed since I am in my old home when my parents were alive and when we used to be a happy family. The bed that was sitting in the middle of the room was dusty and the headboard and the boards at the bottom were broken so the bed was a little lob sighted. I guess that will have to do for now. I clean the bed, get comfortable and head to sleep.

I'm the very first one up so I decide that I am going to steal food from the market so everyone can eat when they wake up. quickly and quietly, I get ready and head out the front door letting know Andrew who was watching the house know that I was heading out to get food for everyone. I make my way downtown where all the vendors are setting up their shops getting ready for the morning rush. I make sure to keep my head down and my cloak hood on so no one notices me walking by soon enough people starts showing up and buying food. This is a good time for me to start my mission and getting food from people and vendors.

By the time I am finished with stealing the food I need, I begin walking back towards alleyways but before I can make it into one, I run into someone who seemed to be in a hurry. I don't look back to see who it was or if they are okay, I just keep going because I don't want to get caught or get recognized by someone, I may have known so I just keep walking into the alleyway not giving a second thought to the person I ran into. As soon as I make it, I lean against one of the buildings to check if I just didn't get robbed, making sure everything that I have gotten is still in my satchel. Once I confirm that everything, I need is in there I close my satchel and get ready to leave when I see someone at the end of the alleyway staring at me with curious eyes. I make the grave mistake of lifting my head up and looking at who it could possibly be, only to find that it was the one and only guy that broke my heart and watched me supposedly die without so much as help from him. I curse under my breath when he sees who I am, and I begin running away in the opposite direction that he came from.

"Y/N! is that you?" Varian yells running behind me to not lose me.

I make many turns to try to get him to lose me, but he is really dedicated to catch me so the only option I have left is to run to where I know some of my group will be and let them capture him and make sure he doesn't know where our hideout is. I run into the forest and make zig zag motions and taking left and right turns to lose him and when I see that I won't lose him this time I run to where I know that Andrew and some other guys are at keeping watch. I give out a distinct whistle to let them know where I am, and my situation and they immediately get into position because the next second when I run past them, I hear this thud and another thud of Varian falling onto the ground as he was knocked out by one of the guys. I stop running and walk back to where Varian is laying down and stare down at him making sure it is actually him. After the short amount of time that we have not seen each other, he sure has changed quite a bit. He is a little skinnier than usual, dark bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep and messy hair like he has not kept it for a while.

"Let's get him to the basement to investigate as to why he was following me." I say as Andrew throws him over his shoulder and we begin walking to my house.

I can't believe he would be stupid enough to follow me after what I tried doing to him and his little friends. Why did he not hesitate to come after me knowing that I may hurt him? I'll ask him those questions once he wakes up.
