Final Chapter!
Chapter Nine
Tires slid over rocks as the small truck came to fast halt in front of their home. The truck shook before finally settling. The young raven killed the engine before running into the house the door left open to his truck.
"He's here!" Keir yelled getting Sebastian's and Ciel's attention.
"Who is?" they both said.
"Master X." Keir said panting faintly as he tried to calm himself down. He watched as Sebastian stood up quickly anger and hatred blazing in his red eyes.
"How did he find us?" his brother growled lowly, his eyes aflame. Alois and Claude walked out of the guest bedroom looking at them questioningly not knowing what was going on, having not heard Keir.
Keir looked down his eyes filling with tears feeling betrayal, anger, and hurt. "Shadow is his son."
Ciel looked up from where he was trying to get Sebastian to calm down and think rationally. "What? What did you say?" he asked hoping he had heard wrong.
Keir looked up, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Shadow is X's son." he said.
Ciel walked over to Keir wrapping his arms around the raven. "I'm sorry." he whispered letting him cry as he listened to Sebastian talk to Alois and Claude about what Keir had said and asking if they thought if it would be best to move away for a while or not.
"I know you liked him Keir and I know you are mad… but you have to think he said his father abandoned him when he was little… maybe he didn't know that his father was the man behind all that happened to us." Ciel said pulling away to look at Keir who was wiping at his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. "I know… but I told Shadow about everything." Keir said looking up at his best friend as he talked. "Everything, Ciel. I even told him that Master X's real name was Xavier and he never said anything about his father's name being the same." He said.
Ciel frowned not knowing what to say to his friend to make him feel better. Keir moved away from Ciel. "I'm going to my room." He mumbled before walking away. The blue haired teen sighed and looked over at Sebastian. "We are not going to leave. Graduation in two weeks, if we leave now me and Keir won't get to graduate early." He said to his boyfriend who nodded, agreeing with him.
Keir looked at his phone seeing her had 10 missed calls and 4 text messages all of them from Shadow. He opened the messages reading each of the texts.
Keir please call me.
I'm so sorry. I swear I didn't know
I love you
-Shadow
Keir are you okay?
Please call me. Please.
I made dad leave.
Just call me.
I love you.
-Shadow
Keir… I'm sorry.
Please call.
I love you.
-Shadow
I love you.
-Shadow
Keir read the texts and bit his lip before finding his spare key to his truck under the bed, having left his main set in the living room. He knew that he shouldn't, he knew if he saw Shadow he would just yell at him before forgiving him, and he knew that if he went over there he would probably just be hurting himself more.
Still he opened the window above his bed and crawled out, landing on the soft grass below it. He closed the window back before walking around the side of the house to his truck. Seeing his door open he cursed under his breath remembering that he had left it open in his rush to tell everyone about Master X being in town.
He just shook his head as he slid into the leather seat and shut the door. Taking the parking break off he let the truck roll away from the house before he turned the key, letting his baby roar to life. Hitting the gas he drove down the driveway away from the house and towards the highway.
When the gravel ended at the highway Keir looked down at his lap. "Do you really think this is a good idea Keir?" he said aloud to himself, thinking. "No but I need to." He said before pulling the truck onto the highway heading towards Shadow's apartment building.
As he drove he messed with his radio turning the volume up after switching to CD so that he could listen to his favorite band, RED. Maybe if he hadn't had the music so loud he would have heard the blaring sound getting closer. Maybe if he had looked up just a second before he might have saw the metal beast in his lane.
But he hadn't and he didn't. His red eyes widened when he finally looked up and his hands tightened on the leather covered steering wheel as he jerked it to the side to try to avoid the Chevy truck. He could feel the tires slide over the asphalt and then the sudden jerk from the Chevy hitting the back of the truck had him going sideways on the road.
He shut his eyes tightly as the truck flipped and then began to roll. His side hit his console beside him harshly but he didn't have time to even feel the pain before his head slammed into the roof. His vision began fading after that and all he heard was yelling from outside the truck once it had stopped its roll and his stereo trying to keep playing, the music skipping and scratching.
Hold me now,
'Til the fear is leaving,
I am barely breathing.
Waking up and letting go,
To the sound of angels.
But that too faded as he finally fell into the endless darkness.
Am I alive or just a ghost?
Haunted by my sorrows.
Hope is slipping through my hands….
