Remember: A father`s daughter
Redemption
Ghost Zone – Rhea's realm
"Rhea?" Aria shouted while she walked around her realm
"Aria!" Rhea shouted quickly hugging Aria in her arms before spinning around, "You came to visit!"
"Ugh... I'm going to be sick" Aria mumbled while they continued to spin some more
"Why are you here?" Rhea asked placing Aria down
"I need... an odd request," Aria said looking down slightly
"What kind of... request?" Rhea asked crossing her arms slightly
"Ashton's parents? Well, Atticus wants Ashton to talk to his parents once more" Aria explained and saw Rhea's expression changed.
"This is some request," Rhea said frowning slightly
"I know it is..." Aria said sighing softly
"There are chances their souls have moved on," Rhea said crossing her arms slightly, "And moved on souls can't be brought back"
"I know," she said
"Usually I would never do such a request," Rhea said turning around and opened her hand, "This isn't the job of the ghost of fate! I'm supposed to collect souls and help them move on"
"I understand if you can't do it, Rhea" Aria said and notice a light brighten Rhea's face, "What are you doing?"
"But!" Rhea said turning around and held two small and white spheres, "Because you made this request, I'll allow it but only this one time"
"Really?" Aria asked a bit surprised Rhea easily gave her the souls, "I thought they moved on?"
"Anna and Vincent are tormented souls" Rhea explained while she stared at them, "Haunted from the actions they have done"
"They can't find peace..." Aria mumbled staring as well, Rhea nodded slightly and placed the souls in Aria's hand.
"And they never will until they come to terms of what they have done," Rhea said smiling at her slightly, "But maybe this reunion with Ashton will help them both"
"Let's hope this works," Aria said closing her hand around the souls, "And all three finds peace in the end"
"I'm certain this will work," Rhea said
"Thank you, Rhea" Aria said quickly hugging her
"Good luck, Aria," Rhea said hugging her back slightly and watched her leave.
Sam and Christopher's home
"Aria" Atticus waved slightly while they stood in front of Sam and Christopher's home.
"Here," Aria said opening her hand and showing the two souls, "Ashton has to touch the souls before he can speak to them"
"Thank you very much, Aria," Atticus said while he took the souls from her, "Thank you so much"
"I'll leave," she said and backed away from him, "This is your family matters after all"
"Wait," Atticus said softly
"What?" She asked and stared at him slightly. Atticus looked down slightly and walked towards her, he could feel his heart beating as he placed his hands on her cheek. Aria's eyes widen slightly and knew what Atticus was about to do, she smiled as the two kissed.
"Finally!" Aria thought as they parted from each other. Atticus lowered his eyes and laugh slightly when he saw Aria turn red and quickly looked away.
"Good luck," she said
"Thanks" Atticus waved and watched her leave. Atticus took a deep breath and walked towards the front door, he gulps slightly and knocked on the door. He anxiously waited and saw a little girl open the door, he raised a brow slightly and assumed this was Laura.
"Uh... hey," Atticus said smiling slightly
"Hey!" Laura shouted and smiled, "Who are you?!"
"Atticus," he said moving his gaze slightly, "And are you, Laura?"
"Yeah!" Laura shouted and nodding her head
"Laura!" Christopher said and moved her away from the door, "Go to your mother, now!"
"Okay," Laura said and ran off. Christopher waited until Laura left the room before he turned to Atticus, he frowns and crossed his arms.
"Atticus Lockwood," he said glaring at him, "What is the main branch doing here?!"
"I just want to talk to Ashton" Atticus replied
"I seriously doubt he wants to talk to you," Christopher said raising a brow
"I have his parents' souls! He can talk to them" Atticus shouted and had a feeling Ashton was ease dropping on their conversation.
"What?" Ashton said coming from behind the door and pushing Christopher slightly, "You have what?!"
"Their souls," Atticus said once more and showed his hand, "You can talk to them and make peace"
"This must be one of the main branches lies!" Ashton shouted but couldn't help himself from staring at those white spheres.
"Touch them and see if I'm lying," Atticus said moving his hand closer.
Ashton closed the front door and stared at the spheres, he slowly moved his hand and hesitated slightly. He didn't know what to think anymore... was this a lie? Or was he about to speak to his dead parents once more?
Ashton felt his heart pounding and took the souls into his hands, his eyes widen slightly and saw the spheres light up before they flew from his hand and formed two human figures. Ashton backed away slightly and saw the light slowly disappeared to reveal his parents... Ashton stopped and stared in shock.
"Mother…. Father…." Ashton mumbled staring in shock. Vincent opened his eyes and looked around slightly, his eyes soon stopped at his son.
"Ashton…," Vincent said softly feeling an overwhelming guilt taking over his conscious.
"Ashton!" Anna said quickly hugging him tightly in her arms, "I've missed you….."
"Mom!" Ashton utters wrapping his arms around her and felt tears forming.
"Oh my….. look at you," Anna said backing away slightly and staring at this young man, "You're all grown up! Such a handsome young man"
"I'm not grown up, mother" Ashton smiled fondly and held her hands.
"Ashton….." Vincent slowly whispered walking towards him, "I know… I shouldn't be asking you this….. but….. could you ever forgive me?"
"Father…." Ashton looked down and avoiding eye contact with him, he was overjoyed to see his father once more….. but the reason his parents were dead was because of him.
"Are you still angry with the main family?" Vincent asked while he stood in front of his son
"Of course, I am! It's their fault this happened to our family!" Ashton said clenching his fist
"Don't!" Vincent said shaking his head slightly
"What?" Ashton asked
"Ashton, I had time to think about my actions and I was wrong," Vincent said placing his hand on his chest, "This foolish feud all started with Richard, Glitter, and Laura… but it could have ended long ago"
"What do you mean?" Ashton asked staring in confusion
"Long ago….. when Jasper was named the next head of the family, and I was part of the branch family, our father wanted to end the Lockwood feud once and for all. He had hoped his two sons would be the key to end this feud….. surprisingly Jasper was open mind to the idea, but I refused…" Vincent explained and sighed softly thinking back to his past.
"And you regret it?" Ashton asked while Atticus was surprised as well.
"Father wanted to end the feud?" Atticus thought while he watched the reunion
"My father promised the side and main families would be one once more, we would have the Lockwood benefits returned, along with the family fortune," Vincent said closing his eyes slightly, "But….. my anger blinded me….. and I refused"
"And my father was angry wasn't he?" Atticus asked walking closer and staring at his uncle, who he had never meet in person.
"Atticus Lockwood" Vincent said smiling slightly, "My, my, you look exactly like Jasper"
"My father was angry….. is that what happened?" Atticus asked
"Indeed" Vincent replied nodding his head, "He was enraged I would disobey our father and we just continued the feud, which has sadly continued with our sons"
"When….. when did you….?" Ashton asked as a few tears fell down his cheeks
"Ashton" Vincent said placing his hand on Ashton's shoulder, "I was weak! A pathetic fool, who was blinded by his anger! I convinced myself there was no way to end the family's feud, but I refused to help end this feud as well. If you want this family feud to end, the main and side branches to end... you have to work together with Atticus"
"Why? He's Jasper's son!" Ashton said whipping some tears away
"For a brighter future," Vincent said wrapping his arms around Ashton, "I was weak, son….. don't make the same miskates I did"
"But….. you're both dead…." Ashton whispered hugging his father with tears falling, "And left me all alone"
"We did leave you," Anna said placing her hand on Ashton's cheek, "But you are not alone"
"I'm not?" he asked
"Sam and Christopher? Laura?" Anna asked and raised a brow slightly, "You have them don't you?"
"I do" Ashton mumble nodding his head, he smiled slightly and remembered how much Sam, Christoper, and great aunt Laura was in his life.
"Ashton, I'm so sorry for what I've done to you," Vincent said while he shamefully looked away, "I'm worthless, a pathetic fool….. a weak, pathetic jackass! Who let his hate destroy his family! My family has suffered so much because of me! And I'm begging for your forgiveness….. I'm so sorry!"
"Father….. are you... Crying?" Ashton asked slightly and saw tears falling down his father's cheeks, "I can't remember the last time I saw you cried…."
"Vincent" Anna whispered watching her husband and son
"I'm so sorry….. so…. So… sorry…." Vincent said softly while he cried
"Father….. I missed you so much" Ashton said hugging him in his arms, "Please don't….. cry…."
"Ashton?" Vincent asked a bit surprised of Ashton's embraces
"I….. I can't forgive you….. not right now….. but over time….. maybe I will" Ashton replied while he held his hand into a fist, "Time….. will heal wounds eventually"
"I understand," Vincent said nodding his head slightly, "I understand completely….. and I wouldn't blame you"
"But! I missed you both dearly" Ashton said glancing at his mother, "And... I wish we could be together once more"
"Me too," Anna said hugging him as well, "Ashton…. Move on from this feud and end this once and for all"
"I will….. I promise" Ashton replied and held his parents tightly in his arms, "I missed you... So much….."
"We miss you too," Anna said with tears falling
"They are ready" Atticus stopped and looked behind, he took a step back when he saw Rhea standing next to him.
"Rhea?" Atticus said looking back at Ashton and his parents, "What are you doing here?"
"They're ready to move on," Rhea said simply while she watched the reunion, "Anna is…. Vincent needs to come to terms with one more thing before he can move on"
"What do you mean?" Atticus asked; Rhea placed her finger on her mouth and 'shush', she turned her head and continued to watch.
"We can move on, Vincent," Anna said while they parted from each other
"Anna" Vincent whispered turning his head towards her, "I'm sorry as well….. I've made you suffer for so long….. took your life….. but you still love me? Why?"
"What happened to us," Anna said holding Vincent's hands, "Is something terrible but it doesn't matter….. I still love you, honey"
"Anna..." he whispered
"We didn't get the chance to live a long life together, but our short time was happy," she said kissing him on his cheek, "And I was and still happy with you"
"Uh….. I don't deserve you, Anna" Vincent said smiling at her
"Yes, you do," she said hugging him in her arms, "You're stuck with me, Vince"
"Are you two ready?" Rhea asked walking towards them, "Towards the light?"
"I think we are," Vincent said turning to Anna, who simply nodded her head
"Goodbye!" Ashton said walking slightly forward before stopping, "Farewell, mother….. father"
Anna and Vincent smiled and hug Ashton for the very last time, the family embraced for what seems to be hours.
"I know you hate Lockwood's standards….. but be kind, caring, and end the family's feud, so future generations will never know hate," Vincent said messing Ashton's hair, "Fix my mistake, son"
"Alright" Ashton nodded looking away, "Rest in peace, mom…. dad"
"We love you, Ashton," Anna said kissing his forehead, "Always remember… we can't be here physically, but we will always be with you here"
Ashton looked down and watched his mother place her hand on his chest, he looked back at her and smiled even more. Rhea smiled and created her special portals, she stared at the bright white light before turning to them.
"Whenever you're ready," she said
"Goodbye, son" Vincent said hugging Ashton tightly in his arms, "I'm so proud of you….. and I know you will make us, even more, prouder"
"Goodbye, father," Ashton said hugging him back and cried some more, "I love you"
"I love you too, son" Vincent replied as they parted; Vincent backed away to allow his wife say her goodbyes before they left.
"Honey," Anna said while the two hug each other, "The road ahead of you will be hard, but I know you will be strong and make this world better for future generations"
"I promise I will, mom" Ashton replied and whip some tears away, "I love you"
"I love you too," Anna said kissing his forehead, "Goodbye"
"Anna" Vincent opened his hand and waited for her to accept it, "It's time….."
"We love you so much, Ashton," Anna said covering her mouth slightly as tears fell some more, "Bye"
Vincent smiled and took Anna's hand, he took a deep 'breath' and walked towards the portal with her, before he stopped and turned to Atticus.
"Atticus" Vincent said staring at him
"Yes?" Atticus asked
"Tell your father….." Vincent looked away slightly and smiled tenderly, remembering one of their childhood memories, "He has won this game... he'll know what it means"
"I will," Atticus said nodding slightly
"It was nice to meet you, nephew" Vincent said before he entered the light with his wife; Rhea smiled tenderly and watched the portal close, she turned around and opened another portal before she left as well.
"You as well, uncle" Atticus smiled and notice Ashton staring at where the light portal used to be, he moved his eyes slightly before taking a deep breath and walked towards him.
"Ashton?" Atticus asked slowly walking towards him
"Atticus" Ashton replied turning around and staring at him, "I still find you annoying and a total ass"
"I know," Atticus said raising a brow slightly
"But! I will honour my parents' last wishes….." Ashton said smiling slightly and offered his open hand, "Let's end the family feud….. no more side or main branch!"
"Gladly," Atticus said smiling as well and accepting his hand, "No more side or main branches, we are family"
"It might take time before everyone in the family accepts this" Ashton said while he stared at their hands.
"Especially the old timers," Atticus said as well thinking about the main family's views, "This might take years to finally reunite the family….. maybe after we passed on, but we can be the building blocks to end this feud"
"For now on….. there is no long the side and main families," Ashton said smiling some more, "It's the Lockwood family"
Fenton home
"Where is she?" Danny mumbles while he stared away from the tv and glance at the door.
"She went to see Atticus I believe" Ember replied while she placed her pencil down, "Danny, leave her alone"
"Why?" he asked frowning slightly
"I'm home!" Aria shouted closing the door behind her, before walking inside the living room.
"What were you doing with that boy?" Danny asked glaring slightly
"Nothing, dad!" Aria lied and looked away, she didn't want to admit he had kissed her.
"Are you sure?" Danny integrated some more
"Yes!" Aria shouted and clenched her fist, "Dad! I can't have a life?!"
"I want to know what you do with boys!" Danny shouted while Ember sighed, knowing this wouldn't end well.
"Why can't you leave me alone?!" Aria shouted back
"Why won't you tell me! What happened when you saw Atticus?!" Danny said crossing his arms and glaring at her.
"I HATE YOU!" Aria shouted pushing Danny to the side before storming out
"Ugh! Not again….. idiot" Ember sighed loudly and sat up
"Aria!" Danny shouted
"Stop," Ember said placing her hand on his arm
"what do you mean?" Danny asked crossing arms
"She's mad clearly!" Ember pointed out and raised a brow, "Let her calm down before you apologises"
"Me?! She should apologise to me!" Danny said with his eye twitching slightly
"No! Danny!" Ember said sighing and poking his chest hard, "This is YOUR fault! YOU'RE the one who will apologise!"
Danny frowns slightly and turned away; Ember rolled her eyes slightly and pulled his cheek slightly.
"Ow!" He whined and rubbed his cheek slightly
"Sorry..." Ember teased before laughing and walking away
Three hours later
"Is Aria still outside?" Ember asked walking towards the window while she whips her hands with a towel.
"Yea," he said pouting slightly.
"She's just blowing off some steam," Ember said placing her hand around Danny's waist
"Ugh! Why is she so stubborn?!" Danny asked with his eye twitching slightly
"She gets her stubbornness from you," Ember said staring at the night sky
"Ugh! Annoying! She's should be grateful, I'm the one who gave her life after all!" Danny said waving his arms
"Uh... excuse me!" Ember said poking hard on Danny's chest, "I'M the one who gave her life! I'M the one who carried her for nine months! I'M the one who gave birth to her! And now I want her to be happy and back in this house!"
"Uh..." Danny nervously smiled and backed away
"Now! GO outside and get her back!" Ember said while she pokes on his chest at every step she took, "Not later, not when you've calm down, NOW!"
"Okay... okay" Danny nervously said and gulp slightly
"Man! Ember can be so scary at times..." Danny smiled slightly while he stared at Ember's death glare.
"I... I should go?" He said pointing to the door
"What do you think?!" She said glaring some more and tapping her foot.
"I'm going" Danny quickly said before going ghost and quickly leaving the house.
