The Rose Hunter

ch 4 forgive me father

Several years ago

A boy is walking through the streets of Yharnam avoiding everything he came across. His clothes were too big for him so he put in his older ones for now.

As he's walking he failed to notice a man creeping up behind him. He raised his axe at him ready to kill but his head was chopped off before that could happen

???: what are you doing here kid get inside were it's safer

Boy: but the old man told me I'm supposed to hunt

???: *shocked* wait are you a hunter

The boy nodded

???: this is outrageous no child should be out here hunting these beasts. Where are your parents

Boy: my mom is sadly gone and my dad and sisters are back home at patch

???: where is this patch

Boy: I don't really know. I just woke up on a medical bed after being pulled trough a door

???: *sigh* well that doesn't help now does it. Well kid tell me how far have you gone with these things

Boy: what do you mean

???: did you kill one yet?

Boy: oh no I haven't. I tried to kill a big dog but I got too scared so I ran away

???: ok that's a problem. If you're gonna be a hunter you need to kill the beast

Boy: but they're scary

???: I know but it needs to be done. Come with me for a while I'll teach you how to be a great hunter

Boy: *star eyes* really you mean it

???: *smile* ofcourse now let's go hunt these beasts

Boy: thank you mister my names (Y/N) what's yours

???: you can call me Father Gascoigne. Father for short

Nora POV present

I was shocked to hear what hunter said. It must be hard to see him like that. But what's wrong with him

Nora: uhm Hunter what's wrong with him

Hunter: the blood made him mad

He took his weapons out and got in his stance. I did the same. The man ran at us his weapon scratching the floor swinging up at us. Hunter pushed me away and evaded the attack

I quickly got up and swung my hammer at him knocking him back a bit.

Nora: can you talk him out of it you seemed to know him

Hunter: no he's already gone

He stabbed father gascoigne in the shoulder then swiftly pulled it out and slashed his chest. Father Gascoigne grabbed him and threw him away

This isn't right maybe he's still there. I run over to hunter to see him get up

Nora: you need to try and talk him out of this

Hunter: STOP HE'S GONE putting him out of his misery is all we can do now

Nora: but wha-

Hunter: HE'S GONE. Now let's hurry this up. It hurts to see him like this

I was taken back by this. He's always so lifeless so seeing who I think is his as father really hurts him. He hit up and shot father gascoigne making him drop to his knee
