Cursed Cain Male reader x Nimona (the movie)

Chapter 7: confrontation and betrayal

Y/n and Nimona were speaking casually while Nimona laughs and cackles at her own jokes while Y/n was being his neutral self before they notice Ballister walk in with a straight faced but Y/n sensed something wrong but before he could speak and ask, Nimona spoke first.

Nimona: heya boss! Did you get some pizza?

Ballister stays quiet, Nimona then raises an eyebrow.

Nimona: Boss?

Y/n: you alright? You seem glum

Ballister: Nimona... are you in Gloreths tales...?

Nimona freezes but she just laughs nervously, "of course not boss, I'm me, I'm your bestie Nimona"

Ballister: don't lie to me...

Ballister shows the scroll which has a red haired girl with long hair, the same form Nimona turned to, to try to comfort that child, then she gets a sad look.

Nimona: you could say I am...

Ballister seethed, before he looked at Y/n, "what about you?"

Y/n tilts his head, "what about me?", Y/n shrugs before he notices the Book of Genesis in Ballisters hands and Y/n for the first time changes from his usual neutral expression to a face of fear, anger and confusion.

"I thought I destroyed them all...", Y/n whispers silently but quiet enough for Ballister to not hear, before Y/n hides his look quickly going back to his neutral expression, "that book looks old and will probably crumble to dust at any moment..."

Ballister stays quiet for a moment, "you two..."

Nimona gets defensive as she snarls, "what am I?! Say it!!"

On Ballisters face sets a frown, "you're a monster... and you Y/n a Freak especially if this goddamn book is true"

Nimona screams in emotional pain and Y/n just stares silently, his hands tightening and turning white as he grips his cross necklace, then lights start creeping into the base as the knights barged in, but Nimona and Y/n already left in the blink of an eye.

The random knight dude: where are they Ballister?! This was your one chance of redemption... but just go, your name is already tarnished enough especially using that shapeshifter to shapeshift into the director for that fake confession!

Ballister sighs and he leaves the tower, walking back into town.

At the well, Nimona appears and cry's at the well while Y/n walks and sits at the base of the well, the cold stone pressed against his back, and the moss that clung to him start to wither away, the ground he stepped on starts to burn away, leaving nothing but infertile soil.

Y/n: you're not a monster Nimona...

Nimona sniffles "and how could you possibly know that?! I'm the thing that gets told to children that if they are bad I come and kidnap them?! You know nothing!"

Y/n: but I can tell you never meant any harm, you just needed someone to be your friend, you're just an innocent girl, that made a wish at this well...

Nimona freezes, "how did you know about my wish, I've never told anyone..."

Y/n hums and for the first time he has a sad look on his face, "I'm older then I look, this place used to be my home, way before this kingdom was put up, and this well, i built myself..."

The moss on the well fully withers away leaving an engraving, C & A brothers in all life, Y/n traces his fingers on the engraving.

Nimona: that doesn't make any sense... it says C... your names Y/n...

Y/n: my real name is Cain, I have no last name... Y/n was a name I just came up with.

Nimona gulps, "then how is the well magical..."

Y/n sighs "I chucked my brother Abel down here... after I bludgeoned his head in with a rock..."

Nimona freezes "you... killed your own brother...? Why?!"

Y/n: do you believe in a higher power? A God if you will?

Nimona: I guess so, magics real...

Y/n: when I was still mortal, me and my brother were close, really close, I a Farmer, and he a shepherd, one day we both offered our own produce to God, me Vegetables and Fruits from the ground I toiled, and he a Sheep's Meat and fur...

Nimona listens to the story, caught in his tale.

Y/n: God... preferred my brothers offering then mine, so he accepted his but turned mine away, I was enraged and jealous how my brother curried his favor so easily, eventually it ate me up, as God continued to ignore my offerings but accepted Abel's graciously...

Y/n then stared down the well, "then it got to the point where I couldn't take it... so I grabbed a rock and bashed my brothers head repeatedly until he was no longer moving and then I dumped his body in the well... God was rightfully angry, so he stated as the earth drunk on Abel's blood I would no longer farm land as the grounds rejection, and I was marked, as the first killer and an immortal to wander the earth for eternity..."

Nimona: that's... messed up... do you regret it?

Y/n: every single day... I wish I just talked to my brother instead... or even speak to my father or mother... or just ask God... then I figured out why my offerings were denied, my brother gave his sheep willingly and wholeheartedly, I only copied him, offering my fruits and vegetables to just copy my brother... meaning, I didn't give them out of faith but as a chore...

Nimona: oh...

Y/n: I think... I wish to wander the earth again... perhaps I'll find another place...

Nimona: you're... just gonna leave me?

Y/n: I apologise Nimona, you were the best of friend I ever had...

Y/n then vanished into the shadows never to be seen, that broke Nimona as she roared and the shadows coiled around her as she transformed into a beast.

While Y/n already left the kingdoms walls, he heard the roar and looked back.

Y/n: oh bother...

Next book: final showdown...
