Chaotic Angels

Chapter 19: Learning to Forgive

Flashback

---

As she thought about what I said, a groan of pain sounded in the air.

Void's P.O.V

---

I've watched myself get the worst if all punishments a thousand times now. I can't make it stop, I can't close my eyes, I can't block it out. I'm stuck watching it over and over again. Why? Why do I have to do this? Why me?

This can all be stopped by you. You can stop seeing this, you can let the burden of this pain go forever.

How? How do I stop this? I can't stop something from the past.

But you can stop this nightmare. You can make it stop haunting you. All this has ever been is a memory, nothing more. In this nightmare is your burdens crushing down on you. You can stop that. You can stand up to this fear keeping you from your potential.

Can you tell me how? How do I do that? I just want to stop watching this. How do I stop this?

That, my grandson, is up to you.

Grandson? What..? Wait.. That must mean:

The original Void. Chaos and Order's father.

Yes, that is me. I was cast to this haunting place after my youngest decided he wanted the throne and would do anything to get it. I'm glad you realized the trouble he really is before he cast you out for being to powerful, he would've, or still might, kill everyone you've come into contact with just to make sure no one questioned what happened to you and investigates. That's what happened to me.

I knew something was wrong with him whenever something tragic happened to me, or he caused it. His heart rate never spiked like it should've.

That is right, grandson. He is a true con artist, and has been for generations, it is his wife, Harmony that is pure and innocent. That is why she is standing over your unconscious body, along with your father begging for forgiveness.

I need to get back to her before Chaos tries to hurt her. I know my father is not up for a fight right now with his brother. How do I get back?

Fight your fears, Void. That's all I can do to help. His voice started fading away, but before it was gone, I reached out.

I'm going to get you out of here, and I'm going to show the all the people of every galaxy what Chaos did, I'm going to show them, you. He chuckled, and I could just picture him shaking his head.

I don't even know where I currently lie. The only person that knows is the one who put me here. Good luck, my boy.

I shook my head to clear of everything before focusing on what I was seeing. Instead of just the one memory, it went through all fourteen times it happened. Showing me every possible nightmare I've had every time I've slept since it first happened. I thought through what my grandfather said and I kept coming back to one thing, this can all be stopped by you. I've tried stopping this millions of times, it hasn't worked. I've tried screaming at the past me to fight back. I've tried everything I can think of. Unless..

I stepped forward, through the doorway, finally realizing what he meant. He actually meant to fight my nightmares, to fight my fears. I quickly walked to the bed where the old me was currently crying in fear of what was to come, before turning to the door as it opened revealing him and his friends. I had known then what was going to happen, I wasn't a stupid kid, but that still doesn't mean I wanted it. When, he. No. When, Gabe, walked towards the bed, his friends following, I advanced on them. I punched, kicked, and broke more than enough bones before I slowed down, and looked at Gabe. I left him for last because he was the one that haunted me the most, that killed me on the inside, that left me bleeding, crying out for help so many times in my room.
