Chapter 66: Heartbreak: Caught off guard

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Dantes threw the door to his room open, hiding something in his hand. "Leave me." He commanded the two guards that had followed him. They nodded and closed the door, giving him his privacy. Taking in a breath, Dantes looked to the object in his hand, a soft red glow shining through the gaps in his fingers. He opened his hand, revealing a glowing red diamond. The very same gem that had called him out of Trebles subconscious, the very gem that had persuaded Treble to give up hope that his friends would save him. Dantes stared at it, the light reflecting off of his own crimson eyes. "What are you?" He asked in a hushed tone, the gem seeming to fade slightly as he talked.

He continued to glare at the stone in his hand before clutching it tightly.

"I don't need an answer." He spoke softly as he held the diamond closer to his body. "All that matters is you brought me out, so that I may take revenge on those that wronged a righteous soul." He looked to the mirror in room, not seeing himself, but seeing the forgotten image of a young, happy man with red and white hair, with a smile that would never fade. "But at what cost..."

The image faded into his own reflection as he heard someone knock on his door. "Father, could I talk to you for a second?" He heard Lyric ask from behind the red wood door.

"Of course, come in Lyric."

The young boy walked into the room before closing the door behind him, looking to his father. "I want to know something."

Dantes raised a brow. "And what is it you want to know exactly?"

Lyric reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph before handing it to Dantes. "These guys, they're the ones that betrayed you right?"

Dantes looked at the people in the photograph, glaring at a few of those detailed in it. It was a picture of the old gang, Silver, Oceanic, Pinkie Pie, everyone. Everyone except Treble. Instead, Electro was in his place, with Bass and Chord at his side. "Some of them...not all." He spoke quietly as he set the photo down and sighing. "And it wasn't me they betrayed, not exactly."

"What do you mean?" Lyric asked with curiosity, but also a hint of confusion.

"The man they betrayed was known as Treble Clef. He is...no longer with us." Dantes explained sadly. "I have taken his place, and have promised him revenge on those that tore his life apart." He spoke with determination, clenching his fists as he did so. "I vowed to avenge him and-"

"Did Treble want revenge or was it you that decided that?" This question caught Dantes off guard, causing him to pause and stare at his son in confusion. "From what I know about this Treble guy, he would want revenge on people if they wronged him greatly, but wouldn't wish death on anyone. So, answer me, who wants revenge? Treble or you?"

Dantes groaned and placed a hand on his head. A few tense moments of silence followed, before Dantes finally answered. "I don't know...I've never known..."

Suddenly, Mist burst through the door and looked to Dantes. "Sorry to interrupt, but we found one of the ones you were talking about out on his own."

Dantes shook his head and nodded. "Bring him to the back room, I'll be there shortly." Mist nodded and ran off to carry out his instructions. Dantes rubbed his eyes before taking in a breath. "We'll continue this conversation some other time, right now..." He opened one of his drawers and pulled out one of Trebles old brass knuckles. "...daddy needs to express some rage."


Meanwhile

"As much as me and Sling love hanging out with the twins, why does mom want me out of the house?" Sunchyme asked from the passenger seat of Silvers car, Sling cuddled up in her lap, Silver trying his best not to turn the car around to confront Electro himself.

"It's complicated sweetie, it's best to just leave it alone for now, at least until everything gets sorted out." He explained, not wanting her to know what her "father" had done just yet. He didn't even realise that Electro had been raising her to believe he was her father all this time, had no one even told her about Treble? He promised himself he'd have a firm talk with Sunset after everything was sorted out, she needed to explain why Sunchyme didn't even know of her real father. Had everyone just tried to forget he ever existed? "Just trust me ok. Everything will work out..." He sighed before turning a corner, the boutique coming into view. 'I hope...'

Back at the house, Sunset stood with rage in her eyes and her arms folded, waiting for her husband to get home. Her engagement ring was sitting on their coffee table, with the fireplace lit up behind it. It took all of her strength to not just throw the ring into the fire then and there. She wanted him to see it, to see her walk away from him so she could try her best to right the wrongs, and find the man she should have married.

After about half an hour of waiting, Sunset heard the front door open and close. Electro walked in while taking his coat off. "Evening honey, you will not-"

*SLAP!!!*

Electros back hit the wall as he back-pedalled from the force of the woman's smack. "What wasn't that f-"

"Shut up you worthless bag of shit." Electro shivered at her gaze and tone, her head was lowered slightly, shadows get her face as her eyes pierced right into his soul. "Don't you dare try and shake off what you've done. How dare you manipulate me into believing the man I loved was dead!" Electro froze after hearing those words. She knew. She knew, and that meant everything he had worked to achieve had just shrivelled up into dust. "You are lucky I don't throw you into that fire like I'm about to do with my ring, I want a fucking explanation."

She didn't let him counter as she picked up the ring and tossed it into the flames.

"Now, I'm going to ask only once." She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him towards her face, glaring into his eyes with determination and rage. "Where the fuck is my Treble Clef!?"

Author's Notes:
