Distrust Chapter 31: A New Hope (Epilogue)
A/N: This is the last chapter of Distrust, I'm sad it's the end but at the same time I'm glad so many of you enjoyed this story despite it having blood and gore.
I'm so super sorry for this late update...
Victoria was washing dishes when she heard laughter behind her, she glanced behind to see Charles playing with their two children.
It has been several years since Briar Bloodsworth has been defeated and the deaths of Rupert and Henry.
She chuckled as their eldest son, Rupert Junior or RJ, played with his younger sister, Henley. Charles was watching them and playing with them. After everything that happened to them, they managed to build a good life.
Two years after the defeat of Briar, Victoria, and Charles started dating and eventually got married. Galeforce retired, leaving Charles to take over as the General. Victoria was supposed to be the new general but she turn down the offer, she wanted to retire and raise her two kids. RJ was born a couple of years after they got married, at first, they were going to name him something different but they decided to name him after Rupert to remember him by.
RJ has his mother's hair color and his father's red eyes. He has his father's personality and his mother's determination, he's an energetic fellow just like his father. Three years after RJ was born, Henley was born. Henley was named after Henry, she has her father's hair color and her mother's emerald eyes. She has her mother's personality and her father's go-getter attitude. Overall, Charles and Victoria have a beautiful family.
"What are you guys doing?" Victoria asked as she wiped her hands.
"Playing," RJ and Henley responded in unison while Charles was snorting.
Victoria shook her head as she went back to washing dishes, Charles kept playing with the kids.
Later that night, Victoria was putting the kids into bed while Charles was looking through some old photos from when Rupert and Henry were still alive. Charles held up a photo of him, Victoria, Rupert, Henry, Johnny, Ellie, and Dave. Everyone was smiling in the photo including Rupert who never smiled, Henry was also smiling. The photo was taken when Johnny wanted everyone to hang out in the town, Charles stared at Rupert and Henry smiling.
The photo was taken before the General sent Rupert and Henry to capture Briar. And it was the last time, everyone including Victoria would see Rupert and Henry as themselves instead of them being brainwashed by Briar. Two droplets of tears landed on the photo, he started trembling, and he put a hand on his mouth to stifle his sobs. He knows it's been years since their deaths but it never gets easier remembering them, he still hates himself for being tricked by Rupert and Henry.
If he had noticed something off by them sooner, they would still be alive and they would be free from Briar.
Charles put down the photo as he picked up a brown envelope, Charles took out a file report with a bunch of photos. Charles's sadness quickly turn to rage as he stared at the report, Briar Bloodsworth's smiling face was staring at him like he was taunting him. Charles then stared at the logo at the top of the report, he was looking at a CCC report.
The Center for Chaos Containment or the CCC for short had created Briar Bloodsworth.
Yes, you have read that right. The CCC created Briar Bloodsworth to contain the chaos and he was made to terminate chaos. However, they messed up in creating him and instead of a being who stops chaos, they created chaos incarnate.
When the Government, Toppat Clan, and the Wall found out about this; they were pissed. The Wall especially since they were allies and they weren't informed of Briar. Bill Bullet, the director of the Central Branch didn't inform Dmitri because they wanted to see if the plan worked in creating a being who can contain and terminate chaos. It didn't.
The reason they didn't stop Briar was that he escaped from them and got a new identity. They've gotten the news of Briar's death a little after everything went back to normal.
Charles put away the file as Victoria came downstairs and sat down next to him. Victoria kissed him on the cheek when she noticed he was depressed, Charles smiled and kissed her back. "Thanks, Tori," he said.
"You're welcome, honey," Victoria replied happily.
Charles smiled for a moment then dropped the smile, Victoria saw this as she looked down at the files and photos. She sighed heavily as she shook her head, and she hugged him tight.
"Charles, don't beat yourself over what Briar did," Victoria said firmly, "He's gone and he will never hurt anyone again."
"I know, but he brainwashed Rupert and Henry," Charles responded sadly, "If we had found out sooner, they will be been fixed, and they wouldn't have died."
Charles started sobbing and Victoria kept hugging him. She whispered comforting and soothing words to calm him down. A few minutes later, Charles finally calm down.
"Feel better?" Victoria asked gently.
Charles nodded but Victoria could tell he was lying, "Look, it's all in the past," Victoria said softly, "Briar's gone, Rupert and Henry are not under his control, and no one will get hurt by him anymore."
Charles wiped his eyes as Victoria continued, "Right now let's focus on the present, all we have to do is raise our children to be good, righteous citizens. And if they ask, we will tell them about everyone including Rupert and Henry."
Charles stared at Victoria, eyes still shimmering, and he smiled. "Yeah, you're right. It's still hard after all these years but I'm glad Briar is gone and we are leaving at peace now. Thanks, sweetie."
Victoria smiled as she closed her eyes and kissed him, Charles kissed her back as he put his hand on her cheek.
Rupert and Henry may be gone and Briar is rotting in Hell but everything is at peace.
"You know, I never thought they would end up together," Rupert said as he munched on some popcorn, he was sitting in what looked like a movie theater but it was small.
"Me neither," Henry responded as he also munched on some popcorn, he was sitting next to Rupert. "But they do look cute together."
Rupert nodded, and Henry finished his bag of popcorn. He was about to get up when the movie screen that was displaying turned off, Rupert and Henry glanced behind them to see Briar Bloodsworth holding up the remote control with a bored expression on his face, "Boring," Briar said dully.
Rupert and Henry gave him a death glare.
"Hey, loser, shouldn't you be in Hell?" Rupert asked angrily.
"Shouldn't you guys stop flirting in front of me?" Briar retorted with a smile on his face.
Rupert growled and was about to punch Briar but felt someone touch his arm, Rupert looked down at Henry who was giving him a gentle look. "Don't let him get you riled up," Henry said gently, "He'll get what coming towards him in Hell."
Rupert sighed as he sat back down, he crossed his arms like a child would be told no, and he grumbled. Briar looked at his watch and he stood up. "Well would you look the time," he stretched as he said that, "I must be heading off."
He went to the exit of the theater, and he glanced at Rupert and Henry who were watching him carefully. "Bye hedgehog and diamond boy,"
Briar left the theater with a smile on his face.
Rupert and Henry shook their heads in frustration, "I feel so sorry for the people in Hell, they're the ones that are going to have to deal with him," Henry said.
"Better than us and everyone else on Earth," Rupert responded.
Henry nodded as they both stared at the black screen, then Henry looked at Rupert. Rupert glanced at him back. "What?" he asked.
"Maybe we should also get going?" Henry said tentatively.
"Oh, right,"
Henry stood up and looked at Rupert, "Aren't you coming?"
Rupert blinked at him in confusion, "In a minute, just want to keep sitting for a little bit." he responded.
Henry went over to him and kissed him on the cheek, Rupert's face was now red. "Hey, if you're worried about us or something I can't explain," Henry said, "It will be alright, we will meet again in another life."
Henry smiled at him and began to leave but before he did, he glanced at Rupert. "And you can see your mom again."
Then Henry left the theater without another word.
Rupert stared at his exit as he thought about what Henry just said, he contemplated his choices, and he stood up. He smiled as he headed for the exit of the theater, he doesn't know where he will end up but hopefully, it will be with Henry, Charles, and everyone else including his mom.
There's a new hope in everything.
A/N: Again, I'm so so sorry for this late update. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this story as much as I did. Will I do any more stories like this? Maybe, in the future.
