Dawn of A New Beginning
You can do your best to forget about me, and start a new life, but you will always bear my last name, and I will use that to haunt you for the rest of your life.
You can run from me Sebastian, but you can't hide.
I will always be a part of you. What's wrong with calling an idiot and idiot?
If you want to be the best you have to heartless.
Now get that stinking face of yours out of my sight. You should've just stayed as an idiot son. Sebastiaaaaan
"Noooooo!" Sebastian screamed, bolting up in his bed.
"Whew it was just another nightmare, I really need to stop this." Sebastian said to himself.
Summon your courage. If you have the courage to stand up, I will show you the way. Prosecutors Miles Edgeworth's words echoed in the mind of the young prosecutor, who had started to reach for his phone, but pulled his hand away when he saw the time displayed on the clock on his night stand.
"3:30 AM, five and half hours, and I need to be up to head to the prosecutors for work." Sebastian said to himself, hitting a pillow out of frustration.
Ring Ring. Oh no, that can't be good. I'm almost afraid to answer, as if these nightmares haven't been enough. Sebastian thought, while picking up the phone.
"Hello." Sebastian said nervously, afraid to find out why someone had called him at such a strange hour.
"Hello Sebastian, I hope I didn't wake you up."
"No Mr Edgeworth, you didn't wake me up." Sebastian said, before asking his mentor in a nervous tone of voice. "Is something wrong?"
"No Sebastain, "I'm sorry if I scared you, but nothing is wrong."
Scary is a nightmare with your Father telling you bearing his name is going to haunt you forever. Sebastian thought, breathing a sigh of relief over the fact that nothing was wrong.
"No Mr Edgeworth you didn't wake me up." I'm actually glad you called." Sebastian told Edgeworth who had been a big help and comfort in his life, ever since Edgeworth had the consideration and compassion to help put Sebastian on the right path that changed the young prosecutor's life for the better.
"What's bothering you Sebastian?" "I know something must be wrong, or you wouldn't still be up at this hour." Edgeworth said.
"Did you call because you couldn't sleep Mr Edgeworth, or because you thought something was wrong?" Sebastian asked, trying to figure out why his new mentor would have called him at three thirty in the morning.
"I've been sound asleep, but I happened to wake up and you came to my mind, so I thought I woud call make sure you were alright." Edgeworth said, knowing by the tone of Sebastian's voice, that he must have been a rough night.
He really seems to be struggling with something. I'm glad I did call him. Edgeworth thought, waiting for Sebastian to reply.
"Mr Edgeworth, I.. Well.. Whats w-wrong." Sebastian tried to tell his friend and mentor what was wrong, but just coudn't seem to find the right words.
"Sebastian, you sound nervous or unsure of yourself, so please tell me what is wrong, so I can help you." Edgeworth said.
I know something is wrong, but I can't help him until he tells me what is bothering him, even though I have good ideas on what it could be. Edgeworth thought.
"Oh Mr Edgeworth, every night this week I've been having these nightmares about things of the past that I have been trying to let go of and forget about, but no matter how hard I try, those memories and even my own thoughts from those memories, still come back to haunt me." Sebastian cried, no longer able to hold in the mixture of emotions that had overtaken him.
"Sebastian just calm down and relax and everything will be fine."
"I want to believe that Mr Edgeworth, I really do, but it doesn't seem to matter what I do, things just don't seem to get better, even though I thought I was improving."
"I know you have been through a lot, and have had some really unfortunate circumstances, and even though you are improving, you have to let go and move on, or else your life will never get better, and your past mistakes and current fears will continue to haunt you." Edgeworth told the younger prosecutor, who was starting to calm down.
"I understand that, but the problem is I-I just can't seem to let go." I thought after that trial I had let go of everything, but I guess.. I was wrong."
"Letting go of your fears, failures and regrets is a hard step for anyone Sebastian, it was even hard for me, but I was able to overcome all of that, thanks to a friend who didn't give up on me, but also believed in me, just like I believe in you."
I don't like telling people about some of my past, but if it helps Sebastian get over his, I can open up to him a little more.
"Thank you Mr Edgeworth, if you can let go of whatever you have in your past, then I guess with your help.. I can let go let of mine." Sebastian told Edgeworth, ready to completely accept the fact that he couldn't change his past, but with the help of his new friend, he could have a brighter future.
"Your welcome." I made you a promise, if you could summon your courage, I would show you the way, and I intend to keep my word, and also remember this Sebastian your past is not your today or your future, you have been given a second chance, and I want to see you become successful, and start the new life that you deserve." Edgeworth said, really hoping those words would help settle Sebastian down not only for the night, but also for his life.
"Thanks again, Mr Edgeworth." I think I'll be alright now." Sebastian told Edgeworth, feeling more relaxed than what he had the whole night.
"I am glad to hear that, but I want you to get a good night of sleep now, and I better not see you at your office tomorrow morning." Edgeworth said
"Whys that?" Sebastian asked thoughtfully.
"After the you have had tonight, and for as hard as this week has been for you, next time you come into work, I want you to be completely rested up, and prepared to start your new life as a prosecutor." Edgeworth told Sebastian, who completely understood.
"Alright, I'll do that." "Have a good night Mr Edgeworth." Sebastian said, ready to settle down to sleep for the night.
"You have a good night too, Sebastian." Edgeworth said, hanging up the phone.
Maybe now I can finally start sleeping at night, and then wake up in the morning looking forward to the dawn of my new beginning. Sebastian thought to himself before drifting off to sleep, looking forward to what the new start of his life would bring forth.
Author's Note
Poor Sebastian, as you can tell from the nightmare, his father was not really nice to him, so it was a good thing that Miles Edgeworth came on the scene to help Sebastian out.
This story was inspired by the events of Ace Attorney Investigation 2 Miles Edgeworth.
After a few scenes in case 5, I wanted to explore the possibilities of what Sebastian Debeste's life would have been like after the events of the game, and after this chapter his future in this story is going to be getting a lot brighter.
I am planning on making this at least a two shot, but it might be a three shot depending on how the second chapter turns out. Thank you for taking your time to read my first fanfic. I hope you all enjoyed reading it, just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Reviews are welcome.
Thanks again.
