Used to be Mute

England X Reader

Part 7

This painful burning sensation starts to form in my throat. I feel tears forming at the edges of my eyes, the feeling is unbearable. I stand starting to cry. 'It hurts!' I scream in my head. My body starts to shake uncontrollably at the pain. 'Why? Why does it hurt? I- I just.' I start to hear myself gasping in pain and the world becomes fuzzy.

I fall to my knees. A figure turns to look at me and as I see the blurry figure turn to me I let out a pained, terrified scream. Slowly I start to feel weak as the world goes black around me. Numbness takes over my body.

~~Arthur's P.O.V.~~

I turned around to see (Name) crying and letting out pained sounds. I watch her fall to her knees as she lets out a scream. It is deafening to the ear. I couldn't move it's like my bodies shut down in shock. I couldn't take my eyes off her. (Name)'s face is flushed and tears ran down her cheeks to the ground.

Once she falls to the ground and goes silent I'm able to move. The first thing I do is run over to her side. 'What just happened?' I ask myself, looking at her with worried eyes. I stand up, leaving her there. I quickly run up to her door, knocking hard to get someone's attention.

A man opens the door with an angered face. The man looks similar to (Name) the (Hair color) hair, but different eyes. He blinks a couple of times when he sees me.

"What? You're that boy that took my daughter out. Where is she!?" He is looking at me with so much hate. I glance behind me toward (name), the man pushes me out of the way to see what I had been looking at. He froze in his spot calling (Name)'s mother's name. The (mom's eye color) eyes that had been full of enjoyment and happiness when I first met her are now full of worry when she sees me without (Name).

"(Name). Something happened to her. I was just leaving then all of a sudden she started to scream and she feel unconscious. I don't know what happened." I explain to the two adults in front of me. (Name)'s mother starts to cry, covering her face. (Name)'s dad growls with anger.

"Honey, go inside and get a hold of some emergency number as for you," He turns to me. (eye color) eyes that would seem strong and cold are filled with sadness and worry. They stare into my emerald green eyes. "Please bring (name) inside and set her on the couch." I nod at the command, doing what he had instructed.

When I set (Name) down she whimpers lightly, then a sad humming sound before falling silent once again. I feel as if this may be my fault. A guilty feeling swells within my chest. Looking down at (name) something just made me feel terrible about all this.

"What do you suppose happened to her?" I over hear (Name)'s mother speaking with her father. Her voice is shaky and cracks with every word like she wants to cry, but can't.

"I don't know. I couldn't tell you dear." After he finishes the sentence, sirens can be heard in the distance. The sound that should be getting closer only seems to get farther as I stare at (Name). She has been through so much, I know that. She is just a normal girl though in my eyes she special and it all just seems unfair. No matter how much has been taken from her she smiles. Not fake or forced. Real and pure. It just doesn't seem so far.

~~(Name)'s P.O.V.~~

I stand in the darkness glancing around me. Everything is so dark and there is an evil aura that scares me. A figure appears before me in the shadows. The figure is tall and the outline of him looks similar to a man. He is the man I made the wish to, I know it. Just the aura he puts off tells me so. I glance up at the man not moving a single muscle.

"So you want your voice back. Is that it. You know your little love for the guy almost broke the bond." I stand still not daring to move. Not in this man presence. He makes me feel weak and small like I have nothing, but at the same time he makes me feel protected from the world. I shift slightly.

"No one ever really liked your voice. They never really liked you." The man says in a matter of fact voice, venom in his words. I go to say something, but stop. He tells me these things that I don't want to believe yet; I can't help, but to trust him. He chuckles lightly darkness coming closer to me as he stays hidden in the shadows. I frown.

"So why try to speak. Why bother with any of them. They never have liked you, still don't, and never will." His words seem to trigger some emotion that has been locked away for so long. It's an emotion that made me look up to face him. I glare at him, hate filling my eyes and a fire burning in my soul.

"You're wrong." I say once feeling a single tear roll down my cheek. I open my mouth and say again. "You're wrong. You're wrong! You're wrong!" I yell out repeating it louder and louder. He lies to me every time I see him; he locks me away from the rest of the world. This man who seemed so kind when I first wished to be mute is cruel. He just wanted to leave me broken and alone in the dark.

"What did you say to me!?" He hisses, hatred dripping from his words. I stiffen from the sudden outburst. Him yelling is not something I'm used to because he's usually calm and understanding of what I say or tell him. The man must not like hearing someone go against him like I did.

"You're wrong! You always have been. You've all ways lied to me. My family and friends love me!" I start, pausing as if something were to happen. Once he didn't say anything I continue. "They love me a-and I love them back. That love is something you can't take away no matter how hard you try to keep me caged up and how much your keep me from seeing the truth. They love me." I say glaring at the shadow figure.

The man steps out of the shadows a face so red with anger and a glare that could kill. He finally decided to show himself to me. The way he looks scares me more than anything else in the world. He has red hair with black horn sticking out and a tail following him. This man is a devil. A devil with no name, a living nightmare. I stare wide eyed; I had just pissed off a demon.

"(Name)!" He yells my name causing me to flinch. I start to cower again, feeling small. I turn away too scared to look this man in the eyes. He stops right in front of me; I can just feel his eyes watching me. I shiver to scared to move once more.

"You can't even look me in the eye, yet you think you can just deify me with a few hopeful words." I don't answer him. I couldn't I am back to the beginning, right where I started. To scared and worried to respond or make a sound. I start to loss the once found hope, but it comes right back when an image of Arthur appears in my head.

"Just like I-" I interrupt him.

"No. I'm done playing your game. I am too strong to let you win." I state turning away from the demon. I start to walk into the darkness that once frightened me. I could be afraid not when I have so much. I would be afraid either. As I walk I hear the demon call my name again and again, but I simply ignore it.

I keep walking till I come upon two large double doors. They stand tall, as if they are a doorway to some other place. I grab the doors large hand and pull it open. A light shines through scaring away the darkness that had once consumed my mind. The light made everything look so nice. I smile lightly as I continue out the door.
