Fanfiction, Chapter 3.

...Before--

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over Ness. As he turned to look at the imposer, he felt a hand clap over his mouth, silencing his would-be scream.

'Dad!', he let of a muffled scream of surprise. Sure, of course this happened before, but every time...every time it always caught him off-guard.

His father seemed to be drunk, as Ness could smell his stale breath. His father had been drinking a lot, he thought.

Every time his mother wasn't home, his father would always be home, waiting for Ness to come home.

"Now now, boy," he slurred. "Don't be afraid of me. I'm your pops, after all, riight?"

Ness felt terrified of his father. Every night, he'd always dream of rebelling against him, killing him, feeling his blood between his fingers...But he couldn't. If he didn't let his father abuse him, torture him, RAPE him, he knew his mother would surely suffer the consequences. He couldn't possibly let that happen..not anymore, he thought.

"So, boy? What's goin' on in yer head?" his dad questioned, impatiently. "I AM yer father, affffter all. Now show me some lo-o-ove."

"No, Dad...", Ness struggled to get free this time. It never worked.

"Come on, huhhhh..." His father exhaled heavily on him, releasing his nauseous drunked breath on Ness's ear. "You know what happens if you DON'T, right? On the bed, now, or your precious MUM gets it!"



Meanwhile, Lucas was sitting in front of the television, quietly enjoying his after-school cartoons.

"Lucas, sweetie, would you like some cookies?" inquired Daisy.

"Sure, thank you, Daisy.." replied Lucas quietly, as he sipped from his glass of milk.

"I wonder when Luigi's going to come home," wondered the Sarasaland princess aloud. "That man, always so busy with his plumbing work and always helping his brother. Such a thoughtful person."

Ever since Lucas's mother and brother died, and his father went mad, Daisy and Luigi had been his loving foster parents. It always occurred to Lucas that he loved this couple very much, but he had never been able to bring himself to call them Mom and Dad.

He supposed it was because he knew his father was still alive, and he didn't want to lose his loyalty to his mom and brother.

Remembering this, Lucas started to tear up. 'Mother... Claus..', he muttered to himself. 'I miss you so much! Why did you have to die? Is it my fault? I'm sorry I killed you, Claus..I didn't know it was you.. '

"I'M SORRY!", he suddenly screamed.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Daisy rushed to Lucas's side. "Is it about your family? This isn't the first time you've suddenly burst into tears."

He stayed silent. He didn't want Daisy to know, but know she did.

"Aw, honey..It's okay to be sad. You've had it very rough for the past two years." Daisy comforted him. "And, it's not your fault, you know. You had to kill him, you had to save the world."

Lucas sniffled. "E-even so, it's my fault that Mum died. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have jumped in front of us to save us. She wouldn't have died..."

"Sweetie...Lucas, she only did it because she loved you both dearly," at this, Daisy started to tear. "And that's why I say, I would have done the same thing in her position."
