I Will Return

I Wrote this so long ago, so here you go my first post on this account is my favorite Oneshot I had written in the Mystic Messenger Fandom. I hope you like it =^.^=

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really didn't want to leave without Ray but with the state V was in made me worry about not just him but Seven as well, there was no way that Seven would be able to carry V by himself let alone care for him along the drive. For the rest of the night in the safe house that Seven had brought us to I couldn't help feeling as though I had betrayed Ray, I had promised that I would never leave him never betray him and here I am with the RFA instead of him. When we first arrived at Seven's Safe house he introduced me to a tall man with long brown hair named Vanderwood, and since arriving Vanderwood has been great company.

Vanderwood spent quite a while helping V get better, he somehow knew that I was feeling down and while treating the sick V he did his best to cheer me up with small talk. "So I know that it may be a bit of a touchy subject, but what was that Mint Eye place even like?" I looked up at Vanderwood as I sat in the chair beside V's bed as I thought of the time I spent with Ray "Well it was different, but not all bad. The time I spent with Ray, the hacker there, was always nice and made me feel happy....I just wish that I could have taken him with us, though I doubt he would want to." Vanderwood looked at me a little puzzled by my words, then it hit him "So you have feelings for him do you."

With those words he finished up with V and left to start the task Seven had asked him to do, but I couldn't help but think 'is it that obvious? Or is Vanderwood just that good at reading me?' I couldn't sleep at all that night, I have such bad nightmares but when I was with Ray it was like they had completely disappeared.

The next morning I received a call from Ray, and it broke my heart hearing him cry and beg for me to return to him. Nobody could ever understand how I just wanted to go to him in that moment, but what was happening in Mint Eye was wrong and he was being used by Rikka to fulfill her sick idea of paradise. I couldn't say a word as he spoke to me with such a sad voice, it was all I could do just to prevent myself from breaking down into tears in that moment. I know he would only hurt more if he knew how much it hurt me to have left him there in that horrid place alone, but maybe soon I could convince him to leave that place and come with me.

Ray hung up before I could even say a word to him, and for the rest of the day I was hoping that he would call me back so that I could talk to him, maybe convince him of the wrongs Mint Eye was doing and get him out of there... But he never called back, I couldn't hear his sweet voice again for the whole day.

As I sat beside V in his bed I thought only of Ray, I hadn't even noticed that Vanderwood had come into the room I was so lost in thought. "Hey, would you like to join me outside for a bit of fresh air?" Vanderwood offered in a kind voice, all I did was nod in agreement as I stood and followed him out onto the porch. Once outside Vanderwood lit himself a cigarette and took a long drag from it "Do you want one?" it had been a few months since I quit but at the moment one didn't sound half bad "Yeah, thank you Vanderwood." he carefully bent down to where I was sitting on the porch steps and lit my cigarette.

We sat there quiet for a short time before Vanderwood spoke up "You know Seven seems pretty worried about you right now, and frankly so am I.... I do realize that you left someone you care for so deeply in a bad place, but a beautiful young lady such as yourself should not be as sad as you are for too long." he spoke calmly as he did his best to make me feel better, but I couldn't help but think that perhaps he knows how I feel right now. "Vanderwood, Have you ever been in my situation?" He let out a quiet sigh and closed his eyes as if to remember something important. "Yes I have, a long time ago...Though it didn't end too well." That was all he said on the matter and I didn't wish to push the subject that was obviously painful for him.

Once more it was quiet between us as we looked out at the stars, but once again Vanderwood broke that silence. "You know it is not good to hold in your feelings, you could always talk to me if you want. You never know it might help you decide what you need to do next." How was it that this man I had only known for just two days be so kind to me? It's not that I hated it but somehow he made me feel safe, as though I was talking with my own brother. I know it's impossible I haven't seen or heard from my brother since that day he left so long ago, but Vanderwood reminded me so much of the brother who left me so long ago.

I can't help but feel safe here with Vanderwood and I can't help the words as they slowly escape from my lips "Why.... Why do I regret my decision so much? I care for my friends but still, why did we have to leave without him?" I could not stop the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes as they slowly cascade down my cheeks. "H-He needed to be saved from that place too..." I was torn in two as I cared so much for my friends, but I also cared for Ray just as much if not more. "Why! Why did we have to leave the man I love Behind!" realizing that I was now yelling I stopped to calm myself before speaking again "...he, he needs the most help."

As I cried into the palms of my hands I was suddenly pulled into a warm hug, Vanderwood had sat next to me while I was talking and I didn't even notice. "It's okay MC, I promise that we will go back for him...Even if I have to go myself." His words were firm but gentle, I lay my head on his chest and cried until I fell asleep in his arms.

I was back in my room at Mint Eye with Ray as he held me against his chest lovingly, and it felt so nice to be with him again. I hadn't realized just how much I missed him until I looked into his beautiful mint green eyes, his grip on me tightened as I lay my head back onto his chest...But it all changed as his grip grew tighter and tighter as his body shook as though he was crying, his hold on me got tighter and tighter until it was becoming hard for me to breath "R-Ray...I...I can't" my words were immediately cut off by the terrifying laughter that erupted from Ray's mouth as it echoed through the room.

Tears began to fill my eyes as I struggled to get free from the man holding me, this was definitely not Ray even if he looked like him. "R-Ray...It...Hurts." The man immediately stopped laughing as he looked straight into my eyes, and in the most chilling voice that almost sounded like Ray he said "Ray? I am not Ray, I am...."

I jolt awake tears streaming down my face and am met by the worried face of Vanderwood who was sitting on the floor beside the couch I was laying on, I couldn't help it as my body moved on its own, and Vanderwood was right there, and I was just so scared. I had jumped into Vanderwood's arms and began crying hysterically onto his shoulder, to my surprise he began to stroke my hair gently as he sang a song that my older brother used to sing to me when I was feeling down.

He Is Singing This Song

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

Vanderwood POV

After all those years I had spent running from the past I had never lost sight of her, even though as an agent I was not aloud to have any family ties my sister was the only thing I cared for. How could I not keep an eye on her after leaving her alone with our dying mother, but all this time I was working as an agent, saving all my money, enduring Seven's nonsense, all so that one day I could quit and go back to her.

Maybe when this is all over I can finally tell her, and maybe quite the agency so that I can be there for her like I never was in the past. I wonder, would it be okay for me to live a normal life with my little sister after all I have done?

Your POV

It didn't take long for me to calm down after Vanderwood had finished singing to me, but there was just one thing I couldn't get out of my head "Are...Are you....Edward?" His eyes grew wide at my sudden question before he slowly closed his eyes and smiled softly "I haven't been called that name in such a long time...Of course I couldn't hide who I really was from my younger sister." tears began to fill my eyes once more, but this time they were tears full of happiness "Edward, I-I missed you so much"

After a few moments crying into my older brother's arms, I moved away from him to give him a bit of space "I'm sorry brother, after all this time away from each other. I imagine it's not a pleasant sight to see me like this." He quietly shushed me and motioned for us to step outside, I had nearly forgotten that he was a secret agent working under a code name with Seven all this time. We made our way back out to the porch and he began to talk in a low voice "You know, I have been keeping an eye on you since the day I left. I have dreamed of the day we could be reunited, and I wouldn't change a single thing about this moment. I am simply happy that you are here." though I was feeling very happy to finally be back with my brother, I was also still so depressed thinking about Ray.

It was like he had read my mind in that moment "I know you miss Ray, but I will keep my promise to you. No matter what it takes I will save him from that place, if that would put that lovely smile back on your face I will do anything to make it happen." I know I am crying a lot but I can't help it my brother has returned to me and soon we will go to save Ray from Mint Eye, I trust in my brother and I will believe him when he says he will save Ray.

I was able to go back to sleep without nightmares this time, and when I woke in the morning V was doing much better and I could hear my brother and Seven talking about something quietly in the room they were using for their computers.

"Seven I have a favor to ask of you, but I don't want you asking me a million questions when I am finished, I just want a simple answer. Got it." My brother seemed to be asking Seven something rather important, I wonder what it might be "Umm, Yeah sure thing. What can this lovely hacking god do for you miss Vanderwood?" I couldn't help but laugh at the way Seven treated my older brother, but I kept quiet so that I could figure out what was going on. "Okay I want you to go with me to save that Hacker from Mint Eye..." there was a long moment of silence as I imagined Seven thinking intently on what could be on my brother's mind, but then the door was suddenly opened revealing Edward and Seven looking rather disappointed in the fact that I was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"What exactly is it you think you are doing there MC?" my brother did not look too happy with me as he asked that question, but saving Ray was my decision so I should have a right to be a part of this conversation. Regaining my confidence I carefully and calmly spoke up "I want to be a part of this conversation if it involves going back to save Ray, it was me who left him there and I will be going back to get him too."

Seven looked scared of what my brother might do to me for listening in on their conversation, but he didn't know of our relationship so Edward's words caught him off guard "No it is too dangerous for you to go back, I don't want to put you in harm's way." you could almost hear Seven's jaw hit the floor hearing the almighty Vanderwood sounding so kind, it was all I could do not to laugh at him. "V-Vanderwood...Did you just, show concern for another human being?!?" Edward simply ignored Seven as he continued looking at me sternly trying to get me to accept what he said without words, but I was not about to give in. I returned his stare never wavering, my conviction was strong. There is no way I would let them go to save Ray without me.

As if realizing that I would not be changing my mind my brother finally gave in "Fine, but you will be accompanied by me and have a walkie-talkie on you the whole time for emergencies. Got it?" I smiled happily as I shook my head in agreement happy that I had managed to stand my ground. Seven was still standing there looking more confused than he had earlier "What the hell is going on here?!?" Edward sighed loudly as he turned to Seven "Might as well tell you the truth so you know not to mess with MC"

After Edward finished explaining everything to Seven the redhead had a million questions that my brother obviously didn't want to answer so I did most the answering "Wait wait wait, so you have a sister Vanderwood? And she is MC? Also your real name is Edward?" me and my brother simply nod in agreement "And you joined the agency to save money for her?" once again Edward shook his head "okay okay one more question, and this one is for MC...You are in love with the hacker in Mint Eye?!?" I looked at him surprised that that was the only question he had for me "Yes I am, and his name is Ray." Seven looked at the two of us for a moment as the thought deeply to himself.

After a bit of silence he suddenly spoke up in his usual cheerful tone "Okay I will help, and seeing as you both trusted me with such delicate information I may as well share with you both my real name." he paused for a moment for what I could only assume by what I knew about Seven was for dramatic effect "My real name is, Drum roll please. badum badum badum, Saeyoung" though he sounded happy his eyes were filled with sadness as though his mind wandered somewhere dark at the mention of his own name. "Well then shall we discuss the plan to save MC's princess Ray?"

A few days later after we had brought V to a hospital we made our way to Mint Eye, Seven stayed in the car as me and Edward went in. We had made our way to Ray's room without seeing a single person which was very peculiar, I stopped Edward before he could open the door to Ray's room "Brother would you mind if I went in to see Ray alone for a bit, I have the walkie, and you will be right outside the door...so could you please give me a moment?" as if he understood where I was coming from and shook his head in agreement, I smiled weakly to him before I turned and walked into Ray's room.

I slowly closed the door behind me as I spotted Ray over by his computers setting up what looked like a bomb? "R-Ray?" I had tried to keep my voice steady, but seeing Ray after so long I couldn't hide my emotions. "W-What are you doing over there....I...I came back for you Ray." Slowly he turned to look at me tears began to fill his eyes as he realized that it was me calling to him "MC...I thought...You were never going to..." I quickly ran to him not caring about the bomb he had been messing with seconds ago, the second I reached him I held him tightly as though it was the last time I would get the chance. "Ray I will always return to you...I promise."

I could feel Ray's body shake as he cried silently, soon he raised his arms and embraced me tightly. His embrace was completely different from what I experienced in my nightmare, this was filled with love and happiness. "I-I thought that...Nobody needed me anymore..." my heart stung at the words leaving his mouth "My Savior told me...That Mint Eye was over...That we should, find out own happiness...But you...You are my happiness MC." I couldn't stop my tears I was happy to be hearing this but also saddened because "I thought...You were never going to come back...so I...I was planning to die here today...so that you could be happy forever..." Ray thought I would be happy with him gone.

How could I do this to him, just from leaving him for those few days he had managed to convince himself that he was only a burden to me. "Ray, How could I ever be happy in a world...without the man I love." Ray immediately stopped crying as he looked down into my eyes "D-Did you just...Say you...Love me?" I smiled happily as I answered "Of Course I love you silly, how could I not. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." Ray looked completely shocked, but as he was going to say something he remembered the bomb "Shit, MC we need to leave here immediately. That bomb will go off in Thirty minutes, and we should get to a safe distance before that." I nod in agreement and as we made our way to the door I explained to him that my older brother was waiting outside for us, he looked confused at first but decided to save his questions for when we were safe.

Once we reached Saeyoung's car there was an uncomfortable tension between Ray and the redhead, then I noticed something I hadn't before "Saeyoung? Why is it that...You and Ray look so similar?" Before either men could answer my question the Mint Eye building started to blow up, small pieces of debris came flying over to where we were standing I closed my eyes to keep the dust out of my eye and when I opened them I was met by the sight of beautiful mint green eyes looking back at me. "T-Thank you R-Ray." I was being held firmly against his chest and it wouldn't be so embarrassing, if not for the fact that my older brother was looking directly at the two of us.

I quickly separated myself from Ray and attempted to draw the attention away from Ray and I "Sooo, Saeyoung about the fact that you and Ray look alike." the two men looked at on another with two different looks in their eye's, Saeyoung looking sad and confused and Ray looking more angry than anything else. "MC, Saeyoung is my twin brother...I colored my hair and eyes to make myself look less like that traitor." Now I was confused, I knew that Ray did not like Saeyoung but what made him a traitor? "S-Saeran...I..." Saeyoung finally spoke but the name he used for Ray was new to me. "Don't Call Me That!!" Ray sounded madder than he had when he spoke Saeyoung's name, is Saeran not his real name? "Um? Ray I'm very confused right now."

Ray sighed in attempt to release the anger he felt before he looked me in the eyes and began explaining that Saeran was the name of the other guy, and the way he made it sound Saeran was also a part of him meaning Ray had two different personalities. After he explained that Ray went on to explain his hatred for Saeyoung, how he had been abandoned with his abusive mother by his brother who promised to protect him. I couldn't help but feel sad for Ray or Saeran, but it felt as though this was the same story as mine and my brother Edward's and so I took Ray away from the Crying Saeyoung and my brother who was trying to calm him down.

"Ray I know you aren't going to like what I have to say, but I want you to listen to me and think about what I have to say." he relaxed as he took hold of my hands and shook his head in agreement. "Okay, so from what you have told me and from what Saeyoung was saying. It seems that Saeyoung did the same exact thing my older brother did with me, but we are both handling the situation differently. You see a long time ago when I was just a little girl my mother was dying from an illness, and around that time my brother left me...my brother promised that he would always protect me, and when he left and never returned...well at first I thought that he had abandoned me, but then I realized that he would never break his promise to me. And so I continued to have faith that he would come back some day, and a few days ago he did."

Ray listened intently to what I had to say, he never made a single noise and even held my hands tighter as I talked of my mother and of being left alone. "Saeran, the difference between our stories is that I went on with life believing in my brother, were you were instead told to hate him for abandoning you. But I bet if you think about it hard enough you will see, your brother was doing the best he could to protect you the only way he could at the time." Though I know he had objections he never said a word not even when I finished, he took in everything I said and then finally he spoke "You are completely Right MC, but it is so hard to forgive him for leaving me alone...but you are right I can't picture him breaking a promise..."

I smiled at him before we both looked over to our two brothers who were still preoccupied "well then how about we think about it like this...If they had never left us, we probably would have never met in the first place." Saeran laughed at my comment "I assume that means that you are also having difficulty forgiving your brother." smiling I kissed him on the cheek "how could I when I had to suffer for all those years...but I can't deny that I still love him with all my heart." the two of us smiled as we held each other tightly, and continued to watch our brothers argue about random things that somehow became Saeyoung's topic to cry over.
