Chapter 21: Revelation
Peter and Abigail were standing together a ways apart from the rest of the group and the cathedral.
"I don't even know where to begin." Abigail said.
"I already know that your not from here... but I won't ask anything that you don't want to reveal. Whoever you are, though, me and my friends owe you a big debt." Peter said.
"Thank you, but... I think I would like it if you know the truth." Abigail said.
Peter nodded.
"As you wish." Peter said.
Abigail held up her hand.
"Here. Look closely at my hand and tell me what you see." Abigail said.
The dark purple haired teen took a breath to steady herself, and then stepped forward and rose her hand up. Peter became startled when he noticed that she had a golden ring around her index finger that looked exactly like a ring he had on.
"That looks just like my ring." Peter said.
He then looked her over, his gaze dropping on her outfit, which looked very similar to his, and the Erebus duplicate, which hung at her side. He then realized who she had to be.
"Your my daughter, aren't you... well, at least, my future daughter, right?" Peter asked.
Abigail said nothing, instead just looking down at the ground. Peter sighed.
"You shouldn't have had to have went through all of this. I'm sorry." Peter said.
Abigail's eyes welled up with tears, which spilled down her face. Peter reached up and wiped them away. She broke down crying and hugged him tightly.
"Oh, father!" Abigail sobbed.
Peter held her as she cried into his chest. After a few minutes, Abigail calmed down, and she and Peter separated and stood apart. The both of them said nothing for a few moments.
"Are you feeling better, Abigail?" Peter asked in concern.
Abigail nodded.
"Yes, dad... I'm sorry. It kind of all just rushed back at once." Abigail replied.
Peter smirked.
"Heh. Father." Peter whispered.
Abigail frowned.
"Should I call you something else?" Abigail asked.
"No, it's just strange to me, since your not even around in this time yet... I like it." Peter replied.
Abigail smiled.
"Father! Heh, heh." Abigail said.
Peter smiled.
"Ha! Yes, this is sort of awkward." Peter said.
Just then, Kira walked over with Kimi.
"I'm sorry... Peter?" Kira asked.
Peter and Abigail looked over to where Kira was standing with Kimi.
"Hmm? Oh, Kira. What is it?" Peter asked.
"It's just that... you two are out here alone, and Abigail is... crying. Are you two feeling alright?" Kira asked.
"Yeah, we're fine. Thanks for your concern." Peter replied. He then turned back to Abigail and asked "So, can we tell them, Abigail?".
Abigail nodded.
"Of course." Abigail replied.
Peter nodded, and he turned to Kimi and Kira.
"Kimi, Kira, this is going to come off as a sort of surprise, but... I'll just say it... this is my daughter." Peter said.
Kira was confused.
"What? But how can that be? Your way too young to even be a father." Kira asked.
Abigail stepped forward.
"It's true, Kira. I'm Peter and your daughter's child, and your granddaughter. To prove it, look closely at my appearance." Abigail said.
Kira looked closely at her, and she noticed the same things as Peter had noticed.
"Do you see what we mean now?" Peter asked.
Kira shook her head.
"No, no I can't say that I do. Abigail, if your actually Peter and Kimi's daughter and my granddaughter, how do you even exist? And how would you even be my granddaughter if my daughter is a baby and Peter is a teenager?" Kira asked.
"My dad stays the same age until the year 2013. By then, your daughter has grown to be three years younger then him. As for how I exist, I'm from another time that hasn't happened yet." Abigail replied.
"You mean, the future?" Kira asked.
"Yes, more then 30 years into the future... after history takes a turn for the worse." Abigail replied.
"Location: Richmond, Virginia, July 17th 2042"
In Abigail's time, Richmond was burning as American soldiers attacked. Inside the castle, Confederate soldiers were in a desperate battle with American soldiers. An American soldier knocked a Confederate soldier to the ground and bashed him with his rifle once, making the other man cry out in pain, before shooting him to finish him off. A second American soldier pinned a female Confederate soldier to a wall, inspecting her as she whimpered in terror. The American soldier suddenly cried out because Abigail had come to the female soldier's rescue and shoved Erebus through the American soldier's back.
"I think the girl you want... is ME!" Abigail said angrily.
Abigail tore her sword out of the American soldier, killing him in one blow, and then straightened.
"We can't let these people win." Abigail said. She turned, slashed Erebus through the air, and ordered "Now grab a weapon, and FIGHT!".
"Location: Paris, France, September 29th 2000"
Peter, Kimi, Kira, and Abigail were now back in the cathedral, explaining everything to the rest of the group.
"But why? What happens in the future that you came from?" Drew asked.
"Coco successfully married Chaz and became president of the Reptar franchise. She ruined the Finster family, and then went on to become president of the United States and declared war on The Confederacy." Abigail replied.
"Peter... and all of us... dead?" Didi asked in shock.
Abigail closed her eyes and nodded.
"Yes." Abigail replied.
"I... I don't know what to say." Kira said in disbelief.
"Yes, but yet, the truth of it is hitting us in the face. She carries Erebus, my same sword." Peter said.
"Your blade and mine are the same, dad. It was... it was all I had left of you." Abigail explained.
Peter nodded.
"There is only one Erebus. I believe her." Peter said.
"Thank you, dad. In my time, your time machine got destroyed, so Uncle Chuckie came up with an idea of altering the past so Coco never marries Grandpa Chaz. He built a replica of the time machine, but only one person could go back because the machine was so unstable, so I made the journey." Abigail explained.
Kimi frowned and slowly walked over to Abigail.
"Are you really my daughter?" Kimi asked.
Abigail nodded, also able to understand her and the other Rugrats because she had inherited the ability from Peter.
"Yes, I am. You will also have a son named George." Abigail replied.
Kimi smiled.
"You grows up... er, growed up to be so strong. Your so prettyful." Kimi said.
Abigail smiled.
"Thank you... Kimi." Abigail said.
Kimi frowned.
"What's wrong with calling me mommy?" Kimi asked.
"I... thought you would mind if I called you anything more familiar." Abigail replied.
Kimi smiled.
"Of course not! Your my foocher daughter, after all! I love you with all my heart!" Kimi said.
Abigail sniffed.
"Oh, mom." Abigail said.
She knelt down to Kimi's level, and the two embraced as mother and daughter.
"I am so proud of you." Kimi said.
"Oh, mom, I've missed you so much." Abigail said with her eyes closed.
