(TW!!) ~~~ Mercury looked at his sister, a smile sweeping across his faceplate, despite the whole situation that had just played out. "You did a good job, Rue. You did say you were going to get revenge on him." The fallen angel remained silent, yet she had heard her brother's words. Her hands and outfit was faintly stained with gold fluid, as was the scythe in her hands. Her gaze was still stuck on Quinn's - now lifeless - body. "I don't think he's going to the meeting with my parents tomorrow, after all. Or Jade, for that matter." Rue said finally, her voice still in a lowered tone. There was the faintest hint of dry sarcasm in her voice, otherwise the princess' voice was dead serious. "Yeah, I don't think so either. How are we going to deal with him now?" Nexus asked, eventually speaking up after a moment or two. Ruella closed her eyes, a deep, slow exhale leaving her lips as she knew what they had to do next. "We have to take him to my parents." ==== Not long after ==== "What. On Earth. Happened?!" Eve shrieked, a mix of horror and disbelief in the Queen's voice. An army of guards surrounded the trio in a circle, trapping them to be stuck in front of Adam and Eve. "I killed him. What else would it look like?" Rue scoffed bluntly, clenching her jaw. The princess' father was staring down at the prince's body, anger in his eyes, his pupils narrowed down to a few inches. If not shorter. "Mitchell, Graham- remove the body at once. My order." Rue's father snapped, as the two guards - who had been closest to Rue's parents - immediately moved forward to take away Quinn. His eyes then bored straight into his own daughter's. "In what name of GOD gives you the right to do THIS? To him? The one you were required to MARRY?!" Her father finally bellowed, intense rage floating through his voice. Mercury had to hold himself back from rolling his eyes, if it wasn't for a look he was given by Nexus. Rue curled her hands into tight fists, feeling her own wrath burn throughout her body. "I told you both that I could never even bring myself to marry him. I told you both what he did to me, and yet you had BOTH kept refusing to believe me. You believed HIM over ME!" Rue snarled, her wings flaring out in fury. Startled, the King and Queen instinctively flinched at her actions. "You.. you told us that he was half demon, Rue. He was a full blown angel, and nothing more than that. He was never a demon. You have no proof!" Eve claimed. "I have no proof?" Rue growled, pointing her tail in the direction of her brother figures. "They BOTH knew he had a red glow in his eyes. I'm not a liar!" She hissed, narrowing her eyes into slits. Adam scoffed, his gaze moving to the two animatronics behind his daughter. "Well? Is it true?" The King demanded irritably. Mercury nodded silently, a dead-set serious look in his eyes. They didn't blink. Following suit automatically, Nexus nodded as well, not breaking eye contact with Rue's father. "Yes, sir, he did. My partner - Mercury - and I have many other people who can vouch for your daughter." He spoke, his tone serious. The King narrowed his eyes, sharing an unconvinced glance with his wife. Adam's stare returned back to Nexus, his eyebrows lowered. "What is your name?" He demanded, staring at the emo animatronic with annoyance. Nexus sighed. "Nexus Celestial. A brother to Sundrop Celestial, Solar Celestial, Cosmo Celestial, and Terra Celestial. Also, I'm related to Eclipse Celestial, probably being seen as a sibling figure to him. And technically I'm related to Moondrop Celestial, who was Rue's partner, but he had been killed by Quinn." The male answered, his gaze darkening as he stated the last sentence. Rue's tail lashed with impatience, staring at her mother and father with defiance. "I got revenge on Quinn, whether anyone agrees with my decision or not. He inflicted trauma to me, and not to mention he DELIBERATELY K!//3d my bf for absolutely no reason, other than to be a smug little twig. And you claim that my actions were in the wrong?" The fallen angel growled, maintaining her furious stare with her parents. The King and Queen remained silent for a few moments, then looked back at their daughter. "No matter what reasons he may have inflicted, that doesn't ease the fact that your decision will result in grief for his family." Eve said finally, her lips a grim line. Rue let out a silent exhale, closing her eyes for a minute. "His family will feel grief? How do you think I FEEL, AFTER EVERYTHING HE DID TO ME?!" Rue suddenly screamed, her eyes flaring open to bore her eyes into her mother's own, as her fingers extended into long, sinister black claws. A handful of the guards surrounding the 3 stepped forward, their hands reaching out to grasp tightly onto Rue. The corrupted angel moved her eyes away from her parents, to grin coldly at the guards. "I've gotten rid of over a hundred guards at once, when I was 17. Don't think that I won't do it again!" (+)
(Again- TW!) The King and Queen immediately tensed at their daughter's words, horror becoming one of the main emotions swirling in their eyes. "Let go of her. Now. She isn't bluffing." Adam demanded, his voice tracing a hint of panic; him and his wife remembered the event unfolding; they had almost been K!//3d in the impact. With the King's command, the guards had let go of Rue at once and stepped back, away from her. Rue gritted her teeth, narrowing her radiant purple eyes. "What, afraid that another incident would've taken place again? Don't worry, I wouldn't of cared if you were affected. Unlike last time." She growled lowly, coldness in her voice. Eve stifled a quiet gasp, and Adam stared down at their daughter with revulsion. "You're not the daughter we raised. You should be ashamed of yourself. If it wasn't for you being the princess of Heaven, let alone being our daughter, you would be sentenced for life with that statement." Rue's eyes twitched, and a dry scoff left her mouth. "Might as well say you don't have a daughter at this point. I was never what you wanted in a daughter, and I never will be. I was always a disappointment to the both of you." The fallen angel dismissed coldly. Nexus and Mercury shared a wordless glance, remaining silent. This was their first interaction with their sister's parents, but it wasn't exactly what they expected. Quite the opposite, really. Eve stuttered as she tried to deny Ruella's words. "You- you were never a disappoi-" "Don't lie to me!" Rue snapped, her tail lashing with fury. "I was never what you wanted, as a daughter! I never have been! And whenever I even tried to be- it was never enough! Don't lie and claim that I never disappointed either of you!" She snarled, her hands shaking with fury. Despite the intense tension increasing by the moment in the room, Rue's parents didn't say anything further. One, because they knew that they couldn't argue with her. Two, because even if they'd tried, they both knew that they couldn't find the right words to even TRY and argue against Rue. And that said a lot. Silently, Mercury walked up to Rue from behind, slowly putting a hand on her shoulder. To which the action made the corrupted angel flinch, practically snapping her neck to see who it was. The tension in her shoulders decreased faintly as she realised it was her brother. "Let's just go, Rue. This is only going to drain you further. And you don't need anymore of this." Her brother said finally, not uncaringly. Rue glanced behind her, and Nexus nodded in agreement with his partner's words. "Fine... I've had enough of this dispute. I'm getting out of here." Rue muttered quietly, only just audible for both the emo animatronic and Mercury to hear her. Nexus wordlessly opened a portal, his partner staying close to the duo. Rue finally turned to look at her parents again, her gaze cold. "By the way, there's another body at Quinn's old palace. A glitch demon by the name of Jade. I dealt with her, too." She informed dismissively. The corrupted angel didn't even wait for an answer. Rue simply turned to the portal, and walked into it. Without turning their gazes back to Adam and Eve, both Mercury and Nexus followed suit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 55? ;) Yeahhhh, you guys got some heavy angst between Rue and her parents this chpt. Hope you enjoyed <3 (Edited) Song: Run Rabbit - Mollie Elizabeth
