Broken Inside 2 : Broken Trust | Ash x Reader

13 》 Too Late

It was finally nighttime.

Ash, Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, Katie, and Flaire were all enjoying their dinner at their home while (Y/N)'s struggling at the ropes she's tied into as she stares at her mother's frightening gaze looming above her.

None of her friends came, as she expected very well, and now she's about to die. Tears streaming down her bruised face, (Y/N) struggled to get free from the tight ropes, desperately trying to escape this prison. However, as her time grew shorter, she found herself getting more and more anxious as her mother slowly walked towards her daughter, knife in hand. She knew that knife way too well. She saw it before, and how bad she hated that knife. It was the knife her mother used to stab her friend, Ash. And, even though she was utterly mad, fear still overwhemled her anger as her mom grew closer to her.

She kicked, screamed, and cried, but none worked. The woman only smiled sickeningly at her, while she sunk back into her chair, closing her eyes as she waited for her death to come.

Meanwhile, six teenagers ate as they talked about the good memories they had around their dinner table as if nothing was wrong.

"And do you remember that time when we were at the Pokemon Center and met (Y/N)?" The brown-haired girl, Serena, said, happily. Everyone stopped. Their gazes turned dark at the mention of their ex-friend.

Serena noticed this and immediately regretted saying that. "Oh.. I'm so-"

Ash waved his hand, "It's okay, just mad at her, for.. you know," Serena nodded.

"Hate to say this, but I wonder where she is now.." thought Flaire.

"Probably meeting new friends and then betraying them, too," Bonnie said darkly as she stabbed at her food.

"Gotta agree with you on that one, Bonnie," Clemont comments.

"Well, let's not talk about her," Katie says. "I really don't want this day to get ruined because of that traitor."

Everyone nodded, at that moment, however, all of a sudden, it was as if all of the anger for (Y/N) left Ash, and he stopped, his anger now directed towards Katie.

Aren't you a traitor, too?

Ash shook his head, and continued to eat his dinner peacefully. But, though he never told anyone about this, he has a feeling that something bad's gonna happen very soon...

-

The sharp knife was getting closer and closer, and with each step her mother took, (Y/N) felt as if the room was beginning to grow smaller. She has stopped trying to break free, finally accepting that tonight was the night she's gonna leave this world. Honestly, she doesn't know why she's scared to die if she tried killing herself once. Maybe it's because it's her own mom about to kill her?

Fear then once again overwhelmed (Y/N) as she felt the cold knife brush against her chest. She drew a shuddering breath, squeezing her eyes shut as she prepared for what was to come.

"Any last words, my dear daughter?"

Her mother whispers into her ear.
Her once soothing and caring voice was now replaced by a cold and evil one. (Y/N) sobbed quietly, shaking her head slowly. Her mom laughed evilly and coldly, before plunging the knife into her only daughter's chest.

-

After cleaning the table and washing the dishes, the six teenagers went upstairs to sleep, for it was already 8:30 PM. They played for a while, though, before changing into their nightwear and turning off the lights.

Everyone eventually fell asleep, dreaming of happy things, however, Ash was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling, lost in his thoughts. No matter how bad he wanted to sleep, he couldn't bring himself to, for he just knew that something's gonna happen, but he just can't place what it is..

-

The knife met (Y/N)'s chest, and she gasped, her vision blurring suddenly. It felt like she was underwater, for she can't hear anything, just a laughing woman that seems like millions of miles away from her. She felt pain in her chest, and with much effort, she saw a wound there, blood seeping through. She coughed harshly, her breaths suddenly bcoming dangerously shallow and laboured. Tears streamed down her face as her vision blurred once again right before her world turned black, like someone swtiched the lights off, and then she felt nothing.
