It was a cloudy day outside. There was a small reddish house that was somewhere in the lands of Australia.
Two old folks were taking care of a certain (H/L) (H/C) child.
Y/N. That was their name. Y/N was asleep on a comfy bed in the house.
Though, this day was a very special day for the child! It was their birthday! How lovely.
Y/N opened their eyes to the sound of birds chirping. There, they realized it was their special 14th birthday!
Y/N jumped off the bed and immediately ran downstairs.
"Gramma? Gramma! Its my birthday today" Y/N chirped with excitement.
"Oh, yes! Yes it is!" Ms. Mundy said with delight as she placed down a potted plant and walked to her grandkid.
Ms. Mundy quickly hugged the child as she smiled.
Y/N smiled with enthusiasm and even more excitement.
"Gramma, Im gonna turn 14 today! Im so excited! Dad's gonna teach me how to use a bow and arrow!" Y/N said as they turned their head to their dad's bow and arrow.
"Heh, my child, just do not use it for the bad. Use it for the good, hm?" Ms. Mundy asked the excited child.
Y/N responded with a nod, recieving a head pat from Ms. Mundy.
"Now, I will go bake a cake for the birthday boy/girl!" Ms. Mundy said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Y/N then ran off to find their grandfather this time. The child ran outside looking for him.
"Gramps? Grampy?" Y/N called. Y/N decided to search the fields.
Just as Y/N was about to give up, Mr. Mundy scared them.
Y/N couldnt help but yelp and giggle after.
"Grampy! You scared me! Its my 14th birthday! You cant do that to me." Y/N giggled.
"Hehe! I know bithday kid." Mr. Mundy said as he gave his grandkid a headpat, until Y/N hugged him,, but Y/N smile turned into a frown.
"Do you think dad's gonna make it?" Y/N asked sadly. "Like, my last birthday. Gramps, I know he is always busy and that he does love me, but sometimes I want him to stay here."
Now it was Mr. Mundy's turn to frown.
"Yes, I know. Your father has- ... A stressful job sweetie. Though I believe he wouldnt miss this for the world." Mr. Mundy assured the sad little child.
Y/N smiled at his reassurance.
"Lets go decorate! I want this birthday to be the most special!" Y/N cheered as they grabbed their grandfather's hand and dragged him towards the red house.
The living room was decorated for Y/N's birthday. Y/N didnt really like having friends over, its harder and longer to clean up.
It was 6:30 PM. Just right after dinner.
The saddest news was that Y/N's father has not come home yet. Though, Y/N waited.
They didnt even wanna blow out the candles. They wanted to wait.
"Y/N, just blow the candles. Its your 14th birthday!" Y/N's Grandfather said, holding his slight annoyed look.
"No! Dad isnt home yet and I refuse to let him miss out anymore!" Y/N argued, pouting and crossing their arms.
"He wont miss anything! Look, I'll take a picture! Your father would still be delighted." Ms. Mundy said softly as she held a camera in her hands.
"Still no, gramma. I want him to physically be here!" Y/N said as they held their breath so they wouldnt accidentally blow the candles.
Ms. Mundy and Mr. Mundy looked at each other, defeated. Y/N was very stubborn, though they loved their father not to miss their birthday.
Soon, both Ms. Mundy and Mr. Mundy cleaned the table up but left the cake on the table for Y/N to still have a chance to make a wish or not.
The clock read. Y/N became a little bit bored and folded their hands on the table. Y/N sighed and waited as time went by.
No sign. Ms. Mundy decided to wait with little Y/N and Y/N offered a slice but never wanted to blow the candle's fire.
Still no sign. Y/N was pacing around the room and Mr. Mundy tried to calm them down but failed.
By this time, Y/N offered their grandparents to sleep already and that they could take care of themselves.
There was still no sign. Y/N was getting sleepy but laid on the couch and decided to watch some toons as they waited.
Y/N almost fell asleep but was awaken by a loud noise from the outside. They got up excited but just saw a car run by, apparently the car just honked. Bored, they went back to watching toons as the cake was still on the table. Candle was close to being burnt out.
Y/N stared at their cake, the fire now barely alive. Just a little sparkle left.
"He's not coming" Y/N muttered sadly as they blew out the candle.
"Happy Birthday" Y/N whispered to themself as they took a slice.
After a bit, Y/N washed their plate and brushed their teeth. They were about to go upstairs and sleep.
The front doorknob fumbled to which Y/N stopped with surprise.
It revealed a man with a hat and orange glass. He also wore a brown vest on top of his red shirt. A sniper rifle on his back.
"Oh! Dad! Hi.." Y/N smiled. Glad that their father was finally here but sad he missed everything else.
"Im so sorry, kiddo. Work's stressful and moi boss wanted me an' moi co-workers to do some extra jobs." Mundy explained as he quickly went to his child and hugged them.
"Im so so sorry" He said sadly while he patted their child's back.
"I-Its okay, Dad. Really. I know that its stressful. I saved you a slice" Y/N said as they hugged their father back.
"Thank ya, kiddo. Ill teach ya how tah shoot a bow and arrow, jus as I promised." Mundy grinned.
Y/N smiled at their father.
Mundy was just late, how could things get worse?
Mr. Mundy and Ms. Mundy had passed away recently, leaving Mundy and Y/N alone in the red house.
Y/N was miserable. Crying from the death of their grandparents. But Y/N always remembered that they are now in a better place.
Mundy comforted his kid, all the time. Now especially that he had a very long break from his job. Though he was not the same anymore after finding out that he was adopted and his real parents may not have wanted him.
Sniper sighed in frustration and sadness as he placed his head on his hands holding the adoption papers and multiple newspapers. He was trying to find out where he came from and who his birth parents are.
Y/N, his kid, walked down th stairs and looked at their father sadly.
"Dad?" Y/N started "Are.. You alright?" They finished.
"Oh uh, Y/N. Yeah. Ah am. Jus' tryin to fiond something out, Kiddo." Sniper replied.
Y/N showed a frown, knowing that he was lying but never said anything.
"Can we.. Visit Mom's grave?" Y/N muttered and fumbled with their fingers nervously.
Sniper was soon broken from his thoughts and frowned.
Sniper sighed. "You go on ahead, Kiddo. Im quite busy"
Y/N tried to keep the tears in now.
'You always are' Y/N said but never over her breath.
Y/N got out of the house. They walked and walked towards a part of the field with gravestones, one of them had a name; M/N (Mother's Name) engraved on it.
They sat alone. No words spoken.
Y/N barely talked anymore. They mostly tried to keep their Dad better.
Y/N never said much to their father anymore but never backed away from a hug. If Sniper even gave that often.
The child also realized how fucked up their relationship was with their dad. It wasnt like volcanic bad but it was still quite bad.
But something would happen today which will make Y/N perk up... In fear, confusion and even a little traumatic for the poor child.
Right now Y/N was laying on their bed, staring at the ceiling fan. That was when their dad, Mundy/Sniper (but you knew that..) opened their door.
"Dad has some guests so stay silent. Okay?" Sniper said softly.
Y/N had their head up and nodded.
Sniper closed the door again and Y/N stared at the ceiling fan.
"Visitors? We never had any before.." Y/N muttered to themself.
Y/N got up from their bed and opened the door.
They peaked out from just the small corner from the staircase, the darkness covering Y/N.
There they saw two people walk inside and Y/N placed hands on their mouth so they wouldnt breath too loudly.
The two were talking about Y/N's father. One of them complaining that Sniper isnt here and that they should leave.
Y/N never knew why they called their father 'Sniper' isnt that just a gun?
What caught Y/N's attention again was that their father jumped one of them and injected something in the victim's neck.
Y/N couldnt do anything. The poor child was scared and struggled to breath. Though they kept their hands on their mouth still.
After a bit Y/N looked back down to see both victims tied to a chair. A woman and a man.
From downstairs, Sniper huffed and wiped his sweat. He then went for the stairs which alerted Y/N and quickly but silently retreat to their room again.
Y/N quickly laid on their bed, heart thumping in their ears.
Sniper then opened the door.
"Hey, Kiddo? Jus' stay quiet for dad for a lil' whoile longah, kay?" He murmured and closed the door again, suspecting nothing.
Y/N then panted from fear and confusion.
Poor Y/N was so confused of what just happened. They processed and processed but never got anywhere far.
After what seemed like 10 minutes, Y/N believed it was safe to look downstairs again.
Y/N repeated what they did before and peaked downstairs with thei hands covering their mouth.
At the moment, the woman was awake and kept spitting at the other victim to which he woke up with anger.
"Bloodeh hell, Girl! Are you spittin on meh!?" The male victim said angrily.
"YES! Ive been waking you up for ten minutes!" The girl replied.
"YOUVE BEEN SPITTIN AT MEH FOR 10 MINUTES!?" He yelled.
"Im tied up and Im worried and Im very thirsty." The girl complained.
The small conversation went on for a bit. Then 'Demo' tried to figure out an escape plan. Not until Sniper inserted another injection in 'Demo' again.
Y/N, shaken with fear, was too scared to continue and immediately went to their room.
"Dad's crazy, Mum." Y/N said, praying to their mom and started packing. Thinking that they wouldnt last long.
Y/N was now planning to run away, thinking it wasnt safe any longer here.
It took a bit for the bag to be filled. When it was finished, Y/N wiped their sweat.
Though they were not finished in time for they heared footsteps coming up the stairs.
In panic; Y/N threw the bag out their window and was about to go too. Not until the door opened.
"Y/N!" Y/N's dad, Mundy/Sniper said. "Were gonna go- what're ya doin?" He paused.
Y/N then improvised, badly.
"Eheh.. Heyyyy.... Dad. Just... Getting some air, you know me" Y/N said pretending like they werent just about to leave.
"Oh uh, okay." Sniper shrugged. "Anyway, were gonna see my birthparents! Or... Your... Real... Grandparents.." He said trailing off in the end.
"What about the.. 'guests'?" Y/N asked suspiciously.
"Oh! They are takin us there!" Sniper said excitedly.
Y/N had their mouth shut now.
"Eheh... So uh. Funny story-" They tried to explain.
"No toime, Kiddo! Lessgo!" He said and carried Y/N down rhe stairs.
Y/N sat in silence, confused.
There we were. In this 'place'... Meeting my real grandparents for the first time. Some of them were concerned that my dad 'actually had a kid'. Weird.
Dad was more excited than me, I bet. This is probably the longest conversation Ive had with him for months. Im still willing to talk to him.
After he finishes explaining why the heck did he inject something into a man.
Now we have met my real grandparents.
I.. I dont think they are very thrilled to see me. They are.. Very ignorant and bland..
They were talking about Australium? Whats that? Nuclear source? Wha?
I was very confused at the moment so I fecided to look around and touch some things.
I found this ... Thing.. That had levers, buttons and a ton more.
Just as I was about to touch a button, a ruler slapped my hand.
I yelp in pain and hold my hand, trying to sooth the pain. I turned tp the person who slapped my hand with tears pricking my eyes.
"Dont. Touch." My real grandmother said.
"Im dealing with a child much of a husband. I dont need another." She scoffed and took another sip from her red drink.
I sucked on my lip trying to stop myself from crying.
Mean while what I didnt know was that my dad's having much worse.
My real grandmother then went back to whatever they were talking about and decided to not touch anything but wander around instead.
Still holding my hand and walking. Out of no where I heard someone yell and the ground rumbling.
I looked back to see a golden rocket ship fly out with my grandmother inside it.
People were visibly ashamed, confused and disappointed. One of them was that girl victim earlier, she was upset that the 'Administrator' was gonna kill her.
What was worse was that water started flowing in.
I looked at him in shock. Dad then looked at me and immediately picked me up.
"You okay, kiddo?" He asked me with worry on his face.
I nodded at him, lying about my hand. I then hugged him, scared of whats happening.
I blocked out every noise and closed my eyes hoping that everything will be okay the next.
Dad put me down now and I held his arm.
"Wait, Wheres my dad?" He asked. He held my hand this time.
"He must be back at the lab, Sniper dont. If you go back you'll die!" The girl warned.
I look at dad with shock. I tugged his shirt.
"Its okay sweetie" He answered and looked back at the girl again.
"It dont matter. He's my dad" He replied to her.
"NO!" I yell and hold onto his arm tighter than ever.
He hushed me and looked at me, pain in the eyes behind his glasses.
"If Im not back in-" He tried to tell me and the others.
Someone cut him off telling Dad that grandpa was on the submarine. Now, IN the submarine.
I look up at the submarine which we came in and saw gramps in there. I had hope until he drove away.
My face fell. I was very dissapointed right now. I had so many other fellings, I just couldnt process them all at once.
"Dad.. I-I wanna cr-" I tried telling him that I wanted to cry and that I was confused until I was cut off by him.
"Wait, Its opening again!" He yelled.
I let go of his arm and looked at the door. The girl looked at me with sorrow and sorry in her eyes. She then allowed me to hug her hand which I accepted.
"He came back!" My father yelled. "He came back!" Dad repeated.
I smiled a little. Maybe they werent so bad? I looked at dad. He was so happy.
Dad then muttered something which I couldnt hear.
I looked back at the entrance and saw that it wasnt our ship.
The next thing I knew, Dad was shot two times.
I heared ringing in my ears. Thats all I heard. I didnt know what I did. All I know was that I had my open and I pushed the lady away and was running towards my dad.
I couldnt control anything at this moment.
I felt true pain. Water came out my eyes, tears.
I was yelling and crying as I grabbed my dad's unconscious body and shook him.
"D-Dad? DAD! DAD!" I continued to yell.
People were talking. I couldnt hear them. All I heard was my sobs and cries. The water around my dad turned into blood.
Then 'Demo' picked my dad up and puting me behind him. I held my father's hand just incase but I was still in pain.
Demo looked at me with sorrow.
"Im so sorry lass." He said softly and quickly.
I looked at him with tears falling down my face and my hair all over my face. I held my dad's hand harder now.
"Dont die" I mutter softly.
