Past, Present, No Future

by Black Crow-Red Rose

One was forced to murder her entire family for a specter's selfish revenge. Another was framed for the murder of his wife and almost executed. A third was stripped from his family and forced to watch everything he ever cared for taken away from him. Now, years later, they roam Elrios searching for a way to change their pasts.

1. Prologue: No Future

Hey people, this is Yami with her new story, Past, Present, No Future. I have been absolutely dying to publish this, and so, since today is my birthday, I'm publishing it. This is like a birthday present to myself, seeing as I don't get anything on my birthday. So, see you in the outro and Happy Sweet 16 to me and Happy Birthday and to anyone else! XD

(Future)

"Citizens gather around for the righteous execution of these three criminals, "King Wally stood upon a pedestal as residents from all over Elrios crowed around the stage

"These three heartless monsters have finally been captured and are being executed for their heinous crimes against humanity; we will have justice for our loved ones who were slain by these demons, "King Wally cried and pointed at the three prisons who were being held down by some of his soldiers

The first, the only woman of the group, was grinning sadistically as the guards removed the blindfold from her face. The other two grinned when theirs was removed as well.

Citizens cheered as the executioner made his way onto the stage, his axe shiny and sharp, ready to behead the three.

The criminals kneeling before them were notorious thieves and murderers who had been finally brought to justice by the mercenary group called El. The criminals were…

"Now, have you any last words, "Wally asked the three

They stayed quiet, eyes closed to not see the crowd's joyful eyes.

"No, then proceed, executioner"

"…."

The executioner stood behind Ara, axe high and ready to end her life. The woman was noticeably shaking, making the soldiers tighten their grip, thinking she was trying to escape.

"Wait, "a voice shouted from the crowd, "Wait"

"Hmm, what is it you want; you've collected the money from the bounty, be off with you, "Wally screamed at the person

"I want to ask them some questions, "they glared, "I won't get another chance"

"Fine, ask your questions, "Wally glared, "My people want quick justice"

The crowd shrieked in agreement with Wally's words. Most shouted at the person to "Leave Elder" or "Ask when you die". They politely ignored them and slowly strode up to the stage.

"Don't worry, I just need one answered, "the person walked in front of the three, "Look at me"

They opened their eyes to see the person that initiated their capture. Eve, leader behind the group of their capture. She was frowning at them, eyes full of wonder.

"What do you want, "Ara growled with her eyes shining red, "Come to gloat"

"No, "Eve muttered as she stared at her ex- "friend"

"Then why come, "Raven grunted towards her, "After all this time, what could you possibly gain"

"Maybe she feels sad, "Add continued, "Bounty hunters as yourself, sweet Eve, how could you possibly feel regret; are you still a little girl at heart"

"Shut up, "Eve smacked the Esper across the head, "You worthless trash"

"Kekeke, Eeeeevvvveee, what is it you want, love, "Add smirked

Eve's gritted her teeth together, her nerves shot. Her finger's twitched in annoyance and curiousity.

"Why….., "Was all she asked with arms crossed, "Why did you commit the crimes you did"

The death row inmates stared at each other with shock written all over their faces. Looking back at the mercenary leader, they stared at her for the longest before they all burst into unanimous laughter.

"Hahahahahahahahahaah-hahahahahahahaa…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha"
