~~~~~~~~~Third Person POV~~~~~~~~~

Frightened.

Nervous.

Unsure.

Lara stood beside her machines, hands behind her back, staring at the tall who just finished fixing the room.

He sat back on the throne with a sigh. "Finally back home."

Venom slithered onto his shoulders, Ryan scratching under his chin. "You get five meals today, Venom."

The green snake hissed in delight, then turned to the girl. "And thanks to you too, love."

"You're welcome, father."

He cringed at the word, raising a finger. "Don't ever call me that again. Use my name, surname, or just 'Boss', but never father."

"But.. y-you are my dad, we already have things in common, like being stuck in time..!"

He raised an eyebrow, getting annoyed. "Stuck in time?"

"Y-Yeah.. I've been trying to resurrect you since I was mine.. But when I was twelve, there was a malfunction, and I was trapped in time for ten years.."

"How pathetic."

She looked up at him, her ears flattening back as the man leaned back once more. "But you did succeed so I guess I owe you one. Though I still need you for my plan."

Lara raised an eyebrow. "Plan for what?"

"What do you think?" A smirk spread across his face, his fangs shining from the light. "For revenge, of course~"

"Right, for them killing you."

"I can't be killed. I simply leave my body for a short time."

"Twenty years doesn't seem that shirt of a time.." She muttered to herself, then looked at him again. "How do we start the plan?"

"Bold words, little one." Ryan stood up, walking over to a window as a small black orb swirled around his fingers. "Step one: we send them a subtle message." With a snap of his fingers, the orb zoomed out through the glass window and towards its destination.

The girl with the pink pigtails stared at the action, biting her lip as she got lost in her head.

So many stories surrounded the Riverton family.

The father was arrested, and killed in prison.

The mother disappeared in a very early age, most likely killed.

The oldest child disappeared from existence.

And the youngest one...

Ryan Even Riverton. The murderer. The monster.

A man who took someone's life for the very first time while still a child.

And that was her father, that was the only family she had.

It was her own fault she lost her mother...
