Forced to Raise Yanderes for a Living

3.21 Falling to Ashes

WARNING: Disturbing content

"LISTEN TO ME CYRUS, I'M TELLING YOU TO STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" I angrily yelled as I started to slam my fists against the panes of glass.

But all Cyrus did was loving stroke the glass from the other side of the shuttle's holding cell. "I don't understand why you're resisting me." He pouted. "You did promise to always stay by my side. You weren't lying to me, we're you?"

Frustration grew as all I could do was angrily flay my arms around as I paced the room. "Yeah. Well, I guess I did lie!"

Cyrus frowned in response. But just as he was about to speak up, we were both taken aback by a loud explosion outside.

"Sounds like they're invading as we speak..." Cyrus commented to himself.

I know it's not my responsibility, but I do feel bad for all the townspeople. I wish there was something I could do, but no matter what I say or do Cyrus won't listen to me anymore.

As the frequency of the explosions steadily increased, I felt panic start to set in. I shouldn't be panicking because there's nothing I have to–

Suddenly the lights turned red as an alarm started to ring throughout the room. "This can't be good..." I mumbled to myself.

As we looked around to spot the cause, the main door to the room flew off from its hinges. And there stood an angry Bennett in the doorway.

"Geez, you'll even try to flee the planet to escape me? You're so mean~" Bennett said teasingly.

On instinct, Cyrus went to attack Bennett. But Bennett's reflexes were quicker as he easily dodged the attack and tackled Cyrus to the floor. "Don't even bother. I've regained my energy, hence why I was able to escape that house. So, I'll be taking Vicky now."

I'd rather not go with any of you! Right now, transmigrating to the next world is all I have on my mind!

Cyrus' defiance persisted as he attempted to push Bennett off of him. Bennett merely rolled his eyes as he slammed Cyrus' head to the ground, rendering him momentarily incapacitated. As Bennett approached the glass, he shattered it instantly with one punch.

"I should've chopped your legs off when I had the chance," Bennett said blankly as he slowly approached me.

As hard as it was, I managed to fight back the tears and use what little seconds I had left to grab a shard of broken glass. With the weapon equipped I slashed Bennett in the hand with it.

"NNGH!!!" He winced as he went to cup his bleeding hand. Whilst Bennett was preoccupied with his hand, I took the opportunity to make a break for it.

I was luckily able to escape through the skin of my teeth as I somehow managed to make it outside. I wanted to collapse to the ground in relief, but I knew that would give Bennett more time to catch up to me. So, I kept running.

At this point, the pain in my feet was inconsequential as all I could focus on was getting away from them. Cedarwood Grange was my safe haven. If I can just reach it then I know I'll be okay!

Once I finally reached the farm, I felt myself die inside as I saw nothing but flames. Ms McCollin... Mr Sullivan...

As I dropped to my knees to take in the destruction a voice could be heard approaching from behind. "Are you done with running away from me now?" Bennett asked in an annoyed voice.

I didn't bother to respond. I simply sat glued to the spot as I watched numerous explosions fill the sky.

"You're not taking Vana away from me. I love her!" Cyrus retorted as he finally caught up to us.
