Fate/Stay night x Oc

 prologue

"Ryder, I'm heartbroken that it had to be this way but I want you to remember that I'll forever love you." My mother said with a shaky tone

"Promise me that you'll win The Grail and will use the wish to make a promising life for yourself. To be happy." She has a glossy look in her gaze

"Promise me, Ryder!" My mother declared

"I-... I promise you that I will achieve The Holy Grail, mother." I mumbled while trying to stay strong

"Okay, that makes me feel better. Realizing that you'll be safe." She began to cough into her hand

Blood spattered into her hand...

"Mother! I'll call the doctor" I got up from my seat that was beside her bed

"No, just... stay here with me" my mother softly grabbed my wrist

I hesitated but nodded "Okay, I can do that." I sat back down and held her hand as I got a handkerchief from the nightstand and wiped her hand

The handkerchief did nothing as there was blood on her hand and it appeared to have dried up.

I got up and went to the bowl of cool water. I grabbed the small towel from the bowl while wringing it out.

I walk slowly towards mother as I gently place the damp towel on her forehead wiping the sweat and muck from her face.

She softly smiles as I smile back to her. She weakly grabs my hand and kisses the top of my hand

"Ryder, My dear boy, You're only 10 years old and you keep on improving every day. I can't wait to see how powerful of a master you'll be." Mother tried to change the topic

"Mother, I really think I should call the doctor if not then the maids. They'll-" Mother didn't let me finish my sentence

"Ryder, if anything is to happen... I want you to stay with my brother. He'll take care of you and help you with trainin-" Mother started to have a coughing fit

"Mother? Mother?! Help!" I cried out and a couple of maids came hurrying into the room

"You'll have to leave the room, Ryder." The maid bows to me

"Leave? I can't leave when my mother is in this state!" I said while trying to look past her to try to get a glimpse of mother

"Ryder, you should listen to the maid." A hand was placed on my shoulder

I turn and catch a glimpse of uncle Dean "Uncle?! What are you-"

"Ryder, come with me into the hallway if you will." Uncle Dean said as he slowly made his way to the door

I glance back to the maids and mother and turn to him "O-okay..." I start to follow him and we head out into the hallway

"Ryder, I know you're aware of what your mother is going through and it's difficult for her and everyone else. You're mother told me to ask you if you wanted to come live with me." Uncle Dean said

I look away from him while folding my arms "Why are you saying this to me?"

"And with difficulty comes with a choice. Ryder, your mother is in a really bad state and the doctors are saying that she doesn't have much time left." Uncle Dean said as I could tell he wanted to express his emotions but wanted to stay strong.

I felt my eyes water "D-don't say that. She'll make it and she'll fight off her sickness!"

"Ryder, you've seen your mother and you know she's not getting better." Uncle Dean said

"Yes, she is! She's going to be okay!" I yell as I look to him and I could see the pain in his expression "she has to..."

I slowly drop to my knees with tears blinding my sight as Uncle Dean lowered to my height "Hey, Hey, Hey, it's going to be alright." I put my face into his chest and felt my tears drenching  his shirt.

The pain I felt that moment was so unforgivable that I felt weak to my stomach not knowing if my mother may or may not live long enough.

It was just wasn't fair,

Not in the slightest.

"Ryder, look at me" Uncle Dean said

I look up to him while trying to restrain all the emotions that were slowly bottling up. Building up by each little moment my mother coughed, wept, not able to get out of bed, or coming to tuck me in.

"Ryder, buddy, it's going to be alright." He said is a calming tone

I look up to him "I-... I'll stay with you but only when I say goodbye to mother."

Uncle Dean nodded "just take your time. There's no rush."

I nodded to him as a maid walks out of the room

I believe her name was Maria.

"What are you doing out here?" I question the maid

"Master Dean, I need to talk to you in private." She says while looking to me

He nodded as he told me to go to my room and that he'll come to get me when he finishes talking to Maria.

I nodded as I walk down the hallway and turn.

I made sure I was out of sight as I waited for them to talk.

"Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed here at the mansion? It is where Ryder was raised." Maria said

"I know, but the memories here would haunt him and everything here would remind him of her." Uncle Dean said

Uncle Dean and Maria talked for a while but as they were getting into a deep conversation another maid walked out and she was crying.

Uncle Dean and Maria rush to her "What's wrong?" Uncle Dean asked

"S-she's... gone" the maid said as she was holding my mother's necklace

My eyes widen "You're lying!" I yell to them as they all looked shocked to see me

"Ryder? I told you to go to your room" Uncle Dean said as I started to run

"Ryder don't go in there!" Maria said

I open the door and see mother on her bed.

Motionless...

                           

                   Unmoving...

                                      Passionless...

"She's gone..." I softly whisper as my head started to spin

Dean, Maria, and the other maid were sadly watching the scene unfold as Maria and the maid hugged each other while crying.

Dean took off his glasses "dammit..." he softly whispered

He started to chew at his lower lip as his eyes welled up with tears but he couldn't let himself cry in front of the others

"I didn't even get to say goodbye..." Ryder said in a husk whisper

That day night no one spoke a word as Ryder shut himself away in his room.

He didn't leave his room when the morgue workers came to get his deceased mother.

The hardest thing to do in life is saying goodbye but Ryder never got the chance to.
