Ok, welcome to my very first despicable me fanfic, though who know me I know I'm neglecting my other fics, but I was watching the second film and this story just came to me, I know it's a bit dark, and I apologise in advance for my inability to write in the style of Gru's accent. Please read and review

Also I know several of you have pointed out my grammar issues, and this has now been corrected, thanks

Chapter 1

Every time Kevin looked in a reflective surface, all he could see was that terrible purple face, one minute he was tucking the girls into bed whilst Jerry was singing them a lullaby, and then he had to decide to play that game of golf. As soon as they were all outside, suddenly they were targeted, and because of a cat, he was fighting with Jerry, because Jerry was a coward and scared of cats...then the light came, and they were taken away and Kevin didn't understand why.

He thought, the moment he arrived at the Island, that it was a holiday from the Boss, the Boss always did nice things for them, at times he acted mad, but he was always there for them. Kevin knew Gru was a villain, and he didn't mind that because he was nice to them.

And the Island was nice; they had bananas and ice cream and hula competitions, and he never wanted to leave, when the water bubbled beneath him, and he fell down the hatch, he wasn't that bothered, he thought it was all part of the game. Tom was opposite him and looked fine too, then Dr. Neferio gave him an injection, and then he wasn't. Tom had changed, and just looked stunned, whilst all Kevin could do was laugh…why did he laugh? Did he think it was funny, and before it could register the same thing happened to him?

He remembered the rage, as he was thrown into a cage, which he tried to bite through, with several others of his brothers, there were too many, as if the beach had been taken…and they must have. Kevin didn't know himself then; he didn't know anything, until he was dragged from the cage by Neferio, tied to a chair and then he saw the Boss.

He tried to call out, but all he could think off was how hungry he was, as El Macho dropped the metal things, he remembered the police car...from when the Boss used to outrun them, and the teeth were crunching on the metal as he swallowed it, and the guns shooting into him. They should have hurt him, but it didn't hurt him, neither the bomb which exploded inside him which filled his stomach, but still left him hungry…his stomach still hurt ever since that night.

No matter how much he filled it with ice cream and cake, it wouldn't go away. He saw Gru his Boss looking horrified, at him but knowing who he was, he wanted to scream at the Boss, but it came out strange, then the Boss walked away from him, then El Macho went away and came back with a pretty thin girl. She smelled nice, and she looked at him horrified too, as she swore at Neferio and the new Master, who ordered Kevin to get Gru...by any means necessary. Kevin had to go there, because his new Master had told him too, something inside him was telling him to obey Master and not Boss Gru, why he wasn't sure

All the other Minions had bounced back, and at night he could hear them happy and singing, some had even developed a fondness for that horrible jelly the Boss had made and what he knew had turned them back.

All they saw was they were home and safe...all Kevin saw was the look on Agnes's face when he had burst through the window and he wanted to eat them, that was what he hated most, that he wanted to eat the screaming girl, who didn't know him, he remembered seeing his reflection as the purple monster as he chased Kyle, and didn't know who it was.

He remembered as he punched through the glass and saw the two girls and he still didn't know who they were until he tried to eat the fluffy toy, and then he saw the reflection in the little girls eyes as his goggles exploded from her screams, which made him want to eat her some more...then it was the three girls, all scared, but Edith looked like the ninja she always was, and then he remembered her name was Edith, and she was nice, she had given him cake at Agnes's birthday and now he wanted to eat her…he was ready to jump, and then it was cold in his arm as he became Kevin again.

And the girls were smiling, and saying his name as he smiled back, then all of them were together and all of them were trying to bring his brothers back, and they all succeeded and were smiling. Phil was back, and Jerry and then El Macho turned into a purple beast, and they all brought him down together and celebrated, apart from Boss as he had to save the pretty girl, who he later learned was called Lucy. The Boss liked her; his face went red when she was around, and the girls liked her and Dave liked her. Dave had written several poems about her and as Kevin looked at Dave sleeping, knew he was dreaming about her.

Kevin's dreams were about purple monsters, and they wouldn't go away. as he left the Minion nest, as all Minions slept together, and made his way up to the kitchen. He wanted to see if there was something to eat, something that wouldn't hurt.

It was three in the morning, so he thought he would be alone, and he wanted to be alone but there was the Boss sitting at the table, scribbling away on one of his latest ideas. Kevin saw the plans and wondered if it was more jams and jellies, and began to back away as he didn't want to see the Boss...to see the look of horror in his eyes again.

As he stepped back, his footsteps were light, but not enough for Gru, who looked up and turned in his direction frowning "Kevin", Grufinally said, recognising him as he obeyed and stepped more forward, Kevin gulped, waiting to be told off as Boss placed his paper down and looked at him, his eyes drawing in closer together as his lip twisted. Kevin waited to be told off, even though the Boss had never done it, but he was waiting for it as he was the Minion who had tried to eat his daughters. Instead Boss just asked almost gently, in the same voice he spoke to his girls "Are you all right?"

Kevin wanted to lie, but you couldn't lie to Boss as he shook his head and as he did the tears began to spill from his eyes, "What is it?" asked Boss, as Kevin could her how concerned he was, as he tried to explain, but the Boss spoke strange words to Kevin, so he had to explain through his body actions, as he raised his hands into a claw like, and gave the impression of that sound.

That terrible purple evil sound that was haunting him, as he cringed waiting for Boss to tell him off…instead Gru ordered him to step over to him, and as he did so, Gru lifted him from the floor and sat him on the ends of the table, "You can't sleep can you?" Kevin nodded, and threatened to cry again as Gru spoke to him gently, like he was one of his daughters, the daughters he had tried to eat. "I understand, you…all of you went through something terrible, but we're all here, we are altogether" The Boss said gently, calming Kevin down as he understood and nodded at Gru, "I know it's going to take a while, but just come and talk to me if you feel scared...do you understand?"

Kevin nodded, and as he did so realised that his head hurt and winced from the small headache, which the Boss understood and got up from the seat, returning a few seconds later with a bottle of medicine, "I used this on Agnes, when she had the flu" Boss explained as he poured a small bit of pink liquid onto a teaspoons, "It will help you sleep".

Kevin did as he was ordered, and a sweet pink liquid calmed him down instantly, as he felt Gru's arms wrap around him, in a few seconds he was being laid on the couch, with a blanket being wrapped around him, "Sleep well Kevin, we will talk some more in the morning". Kevin smiled and drifted off the sleep as Gru stood up and stepped back from his sleeping Minion, he knew that Kevin had been one of the most boldest of his Minions until that day, and even though Gru didn't blame him for anything, it was clear that his little yellow helper (and for some reason the only one who could work out the wifi) was still having issues getting over it...which did beg the question if he was the only one? Gru made his mind up to talk to the Minions the next day, or maybe later on the day as he realised the time and placing the Calpol on the kitchen counter decided his latest invention could wait a bit longer as he retired to bed.

Three hours later all was silent in the Gru household until Kevin woke up with a start, it was pitch black and he could hear the sounds of Dr. Nefario in the kitchen. Ever since that day Kevin had been scared of Dr. Nefario, it was the Doctor what had given him the strange stuff that had turned him purple and evil, and even though he had turned him back Kevin felt funny around him, like the Doctor didn't care about him.

Kevin sat up, and moaned slightly from him painful head, but decided to go into the kitchen; a Minion's job was to help humans, even if they were humans he was scared of. As Kevin made him his way into the kitchen the Doctor was there, going through cupboards trying to find something, it took a few moments, but he found what he was looking for behind a box of Lucky Charms cereal. Then the Doctor realised he wasn't alone and turned to face Kevin who gulped nervously, he hadn't been around the Doctor much since that day, and the small old British man still scared him.

As the Doctor approached Kevin, he grew more nervous and his head hurt some more, something the Doctor noticed as he questioned Kevin about it, Kevin could only point to the pretty pink bottle on the side the Boss man had given him. "Well, here then", Dr. Nefario took the bottle off the side, ripped off the childproof cap and placed it in Kevin's hand "May that make you sleep". Then the Doctor picked up the object for whatever he was building for the Boss, walked past Kevin and took the tunnel back to the lair where he worked, as Kevin clutched the bottle and walked back to the couch.

There were words on the bottle he didn't understand, but he knew his head hurt more now as he poured the contents of the bottle down his throat, it tasted so nice he wanted to get more later, realising since a small bit helped cure some of his pain, then the full bottle would make it all go away. As Kevin felt drowsy almost instantly, he curled himself against a pillow and let himself drift off to sleep; he felt so much better already. The Boss didn't hate him, and the pain in his stomach and head he could no longer feel them anymore, as little by little as he closed his eyes for good all his pain slipped away.
