A Ray of Hope |TPN RAYxREADER|

1 - He knows that you know.

You tune out the sound of laughing children.

You had to run.

You ran and ran and didn't look back. Your legs were starting to become sore but you didn't care. Tears were forming in the corners of your eyes.
"What the hell. What the hell. What the hell." were the words that kept repeating in your mind.

You were eleven. You were running from the gate that mama forbid everyone to go to. You had no choice but to rebel. You were young and careless back then, you were eleven, obviously. You and your dear brothers and sisters were playing hide and seek the day after one of your friends' departure.
Your friend, Suzy, was going to be in a foster family now.
You were one of the hiders in the game. Acting stupid, you decided to hide near the gate, where you assumed no one would look.

You sprinted towards the gate and when you arrived, you were exhausted. You placed your hands on your knees and looked at the gate. On the other side, it was dark. It gave an.. ominous atmosphere.

"When is the next shipment?"

Your ears perked up.
"Shipment? What's that supposed to mean?"
Curiosity got the best of you and you stepped closer to the gate to get a better listen.

"Hopefully next by month. The children recently have been in such high quality."

"I know, right?"

You hear the two people share a laugh.

"I will schedule the date for the next shipment soon."

Your eyes widened.
"Mama..?" you whispered.

You poked your head through the gate to get a better look. If you squint and strain your eyes a bit, you can see Mama standing there.

"What is Mom doing..?"

That's when you saw it.
You saw two distorted beings. Beings that you never thought even existed in this world.
"..."
You looks around the area. There was a truck, or at least what you assumed was a truck because you have never seen an actual vehicle before. The rear door was open and there was something placed inside. Oh wait, it wasn't just something. It was your dear friend Suzy, lying inside with a gorgeous red flower that protrudes through her heart.
"What the hell..?"  You whisper, dumbfounded.

"Who was that?" A demon snapped his head towards the direction of the voice, aka you.
Your eyes widen in realization that you've blown your cover. You then did a 180 and fleed from the gate.

"What the hell."

You're legs were starting to give up on you.
You're head and thoughts were spinning.
You felt nauseous.
You felt like you could collapse at any second.
"I must run. I must run. RUN YOU IDIOT RUN!" You mentally screamed at yourself,

In the distance, you saw it.
Home.

ʜᴏᴍᴇ..?

With what was left, you used the remains of your strength to sprint over to the house.
Fortunately, you made it there without getting caught.

You burst through the doors to see a jet black-haired boy sitting against the wall, reading a book like a moron. (Jk)

"Y/N?" He spoke,

You were gasping for air.
"Ray.."

Tears started to form in the corners of your eyes. Your eyes were wide open, still thinking about the horrifying scene you just witnessed.
"Aren't you supposed to be with the others outside?" Ray questioned,

You try to put on a smile for Ray, trying to hide the fear in your eyes.

"I.. I started to not feel so well."
You decided not to tell him about the weird beings, Mom, and Suzy.

A single tear fell down your cheek.
"Suzy.."
It wouldn't stop flowing. The tears. No matter how much you wiped them away, they kept coming and coming.

Ray looked at you with a neutral expression.

"What happened? Did you get hurt or something?"

*sniff*
"No..*sniff*.. I was just s-sad *hic* that Suzy is gone."

That was technically not a lie.

Ray placed the book that he was reading on the floor and put his arms out.
You cocked your head to the side, confused.
"Come here and let me hug you." He simply said

You obeyed and embraced the young boy. Ray was eleven too but a bit older. He was an intelligent but quiet boy. You would always see him bury his face into books.

You smiled as the tears flowed, wetting Ray's shirt a bit. It was nice having someone there for you.

"Thank you, Ray.." you mumbled, burying your head into his shoulder.

Ray just sat there, hugging you back and rubbing your back to calm you down.
