Creature Of A Broken Past (Undertaker x Reader)

Chapter 16: A Resolve

A/N: Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this story so far! I'm going to make a slight change. Okay, so instead of me typing in (Y/N) all the time, I'm going to give you the name Amora. It's just easier and faster for me to type in 😅 it will still be an x reader, I'm just going to give you all this name! Let me know what you think so far! 🖤

After my breathing finally got back to normal, I slowly look up at him. He was crouched down in front of me, giving me a small smile. “It's going to be alright, dear. I'm not going to let anything happen-”

“I seen them!” His expression drops. “It was them... My attackers. The ones who shot me, they were across the street from my work-”

“Did they see you?” His voice was now stern. “Y-yes. After a coworker started to interrogate me about the news, and learning that I'm a Phantomhive, I clocked out and stormed out of the shop. That's when I seen them, and they were looking over in my direction.” I started to panic even more.

“Amora...” His voice softened a little as he put a hand over my shoulder. “Dearie, did they follow you?” He questioned. “I-I don't know! I wasn't able to get a ride, as the Hansom Cab wasn't there yet. So I ran back inside to exit out of the back door. From there I ran straight here!” I started crying even more. “It was exactly like that night, Undertaker! Even though I wasn't shot this time, I was so scared!” I yelled out, and he pulled me into a tight hug.

“Everything is going to be alright, my dear. Like I said, I'm not going to let anything happen to you.” I wrapped my arms around him and gripped onto his cloak, afraid to let go. “You're safe now. I'm right here.”

A few moments go by before he pulls away to look at me. “You look exhausted, love.” He gives a small smile. “I just ran for maybe an hour. Wouldn't you be if you ran that far?” He continued to stare at me. “You didn't get much sleep, did you?”

“How can you tell when your eyes are covered?” I teased, and he laughs. “I can see well enough, my dear. When did you go to bed?”

“I didn't. By the time I finished baking, I had to leave shortly afterwards. I had to drop my clothes off at my house before I went to work.” I answered. “You need to get some rest, then. We can talk more about this when you wake up.” He says as he helps me up before leading me through the other door. “But-”

“No arguing, my lady. You need to rest, you went through a lot these last couple days.” We were walking through the living room, and we soon make it to the guest room. I stop and he turns to look at me again. “You'll be safe, I promise.”

“Thank you.” I walk over towards the bed, and he closes the door as he leaves. Taking off my boots, I crawled into the bed and try to get some sleep.

I woke up in a panic, thinking I was still being chased. I look around the room, trying to remember where I was. The room was dark, aside from a single candle that was lit in the corner. Okay, it was just a dream. I'm only at Undertaker's.

I suddenly smelled food being made, so I crawl out of bed and follow the scent. I eventually found my way to the dining room/kitchen just as he was setting some plates on the table. “You're awake! Just in time to eat, how'd you sleep?” He asks as he pulls out a chair for me, and I take a seat. He had cooked up some ham, potatoes and carrots.

“Thank you, the food smells wonderful. And I slept alright. But I did wake up from a bad dream. I was being chased by them again, so it took me a minute to realize where I actually was.” I admit. “I'm sorry, dearie. Hopefully you'll have a better night's sleep tonight.” He says as he takes his seat.
