"You're far from home, Y/N"

My eyes widened in horror and I stepped back from the two voices. The two twins stepped out of the shadows smiling cruelly.

"C-creep... P-pervert.." I addressed Deimos and Phobos, respectfully, with nicknames she gave them a long time ago, still unsure of wether they'd attack or not.

Deimos had white hair and Phobos was the one with the black hair.

"THEY HAVE BLACK EYEBALLS!" Pit squeaked from behind me. Dark glared at him and muttered a quiet and tense "Shut up!"

"Oh sorry about that." Deimos said apologetically, Phobos nodded "This is just to set the mood." he added. I looked at them skeptically- What was their game? The twin's eyes turned from pure black to having red pupils.

"What brings you here Reaper?" Deimos asked me, I tensed up. I huffed at the nickname- EVERYONE called me that. "I-I need t-to bring these two angels to the overworld..." I stammered nervously. Phobos raised a brow so I hurriedly elaborated.

"T-they weren't m-meant to die... Atropos accidentally cut his string-" I gestured to Pit, who was looking really scared "And he-" I pointed to Pittoo "came to save his brother."

"Y/N... this is the angel- isn't he?" Deimos sighed looking really disappointed, I hung my head and nodded. "Reaper- you're evil... That means you can't help the good! It's our job to make their lives harder." Phobos said looking at me sternly.

I felt the anger creeping up on me. I CAN change- Good people turn bad, so why can't bad people turn good?!

"Tell you what-" Deimos began touching my shoulder "If you end him here and now- we'll let you and this other angel leave in peace." Phobos finished for him whispering in my ear.

The two sons of Ares looked at me imploringly. Pit looked at me with wide, pitiful eyes, I looked away. We couldn't win a fight against these two gods... There was only one option. I felt my heart splitting into two- I was about to commit the unforgivable.

I held my hand out to Deimos, he smiled "Good choice Y/N, I knew you'd get there in the end." I nodded numbly. Phobos dropped a black dagger in my hand and closes my hand around it.

I gripped the cold hilt and turned and locked my eyes on Pit's. He just looked at me weakly, he didn't even try to run. I walked slow deliberate steps to him until I was face to face with him.

"IF YOU EVEN TRY TO KILL HIM, YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST!" Dark Pit growled coming up next to Pit and staring at me with hatred burning in those red eyes.

Did I really want to do this?

No I didn't.

This was the only way.

But-

Would I rather live on a dishonourable deity?

Or

Would I rather die with honour?

I think I choose...

I raise the dagger.

My heart pounds harder.

Pit looks at me teary eyed.

Dark Pit unsheathes his swords.

Deimos looks at me with pride.

Phobos licks his lips at the thought of slaughter.

My breath hitches.

I bring the dagger down.

Pit closes his bright blue eyes.

It connects with a sickening slash.

SLASH

...

......

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL HIM REAPER!"

The dagger lies on the black grass floor- it's half way through. Pit opens his eyes and looks at me puzzled. I can't bear to look back at him after what I almost did. Dark Pit looks at me suspiciously.

I deserve it.

"Y/N..." Deimos says sadly "You know what we have to do now right?" he trails off looking away. "We have no choice but to kill you all." Phobos states smiling cruelly "I've always wondered what angel blood tastes like..." He stares at Pit.

"I'd rather die free!" I snap at the two gripping my oar with both my hands.

"I wish it didn't have to be like this, Reaper." Deimos smiles at me sadly "But rules-" "Are rules." I interrupt him smiling ruefully.

I stand in a wider stance and Pit comes next to me "I'm sorry I ever doubted you..." he whispers. I nod, touched and focus on the two creeps in front of us.

Phobos charges first towards me. Phobos uses spears and Deimos uses ninja stars. He thrusts his spear towards me, I draw my oar upwards and push his spear away. In the time that he is unarmed I hit him over the head with my oar and see how Pit and Dark Pit are doing.

Dark Pit is flying in the air and shooting arrows at Deimos who is trying to hit them both with his ninja stars. Pit dodges and hits when he can- but I can tell it's hard.

Phobos stands back up and charges towards me again- This time he pushes his spear against my oar. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THE BETRAYAL YOU GAVE ME!" He snarls "You and Atropos both then!" I yell back.

Suddenly my vision gets blocked by black.

I see...

Myself- NO! NOT THIS AGAIN! I HAVE TO GET OUT! Phobos has trapped me in my fears! How do I get out! I see myself stand up- being chained.

This is different from the last time...

My vision gets taken away from me and I feel myself being pinned to the wall. I snap my eyes open and see Phobos in front of me with a spear pointed at me. I look around- Pit and Dark Pit are stuck to the wall with Deimos's ninja stars.

They struggle to get out.

I try to push myself off, but it's no use- The ninja stars stay stuck.

"It doesn't have to end this way!" I plead Phobos. He shales his head "You were on our side once Y/N... You betrayed us. IT HAS TO END THIS WAY." he smiles cruelly and beckons Deimos over.

Deimos walks slowly towards me with a single white ninja star in his hand.

"I wish things could be different..." His red eyes soften. He grips the star tighter and raises his hand...

I close my eyes and brace myself.

So this is it then?

The end.

"Y/N!" I hear pit scream.

I hear the star whining through the air.

I hear Dark Pit struggling harder to get out.

......

........

Aren't I supposed to be dead by now?

I open my eyes slowly and see a figure in front of me.

It's hooded and holds a big grey scythe that blocked the ninja star.

My eyes widen with realisation

"MESSOREM?!"
