Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 125: Mother

(Five and Y/n appear in the train station.)

Y/n: Let's hope we aren't too late.

(Y/n looks at Five and he nods before running down the stairs with Y/n following close behind. When they got to the platform they noticed the group still their with Lila talking to someone in punjabi.)

Five: Lila!

(When Five called out, Lila's head turned to see the couple waiting at the base of the stairs.)

???: What are they doing here? 

(Lila turned back to her family member that asked the question.)

Lila: Can you just keep everyone together?

(Lila walked towards Five and Y/n, her voice angry as she spoke.)

Lila: Don't try and stop me.

Five: Lila, please.

Lila: I can't leave them. What I'd they don't make it?

Five: Then they don't make it. 

(Lila looks at Five shocked and Y/n hears the subway coming and know they don't have much time life.)

Y/n: Lila, listen. If you do go with them, they might make it, but for how long? If you go, with the marigold that's still inside you, the world will just end again in a matter of days, like it had the past 4 times. Not going with them would risk them not being okay, but going with them would guarantee they wouldn't be. I know this must be hard for you, but letting them go, is the best possible way to make sure they stay safe and this cycle ends for good.

(Lila looks at her with teary eyes.)

Lila: What about my kids?

Y/n: They will have a chance to live, grow up. they will be free of the curse we have dealt with our whole lives.

Lila: What if they don't remember me?

Y/n: Their minds might not, but you're their mother. You'll always be apart of them.

(She didn't know if what she had said was true, but how could she? She had lived with her father for years but never really considered him as such or that of the possibility that they were actually related. And what of her mother? She had sat in the room with her, talking with her without knowing the truth. Apparently they had wanted a child, Abigail and Reginald. She would have never guessed based on how Reginald had treated them as children. Maybee if she had gotten to know her mother it would have been different. Maybe if she hadn't dismissed her father so quickly, maybe if she hadn't run away. She knew the things he did was bad but ever now and then she's get a memory, one where Reginald wasn't so bad, one where he might have actually tried to be a father to her. Complimenting her on her fighting, not pushing her to hard to use her powers, checking on her when she got hurt, those ocassions when she swore she could see a glimmer of something in his eyes. Pride maybe? Who knows with him. Maybe he wasn't as much of a monster as she thought he was? No. Reginald Hargreeves has always been and always will be a monster. Right?)
