[Re-Upload] Luminescence

Part 16

It would seem from Elizabeth's point of view that Garrett was drunk, again. She wouldn't respond to him either, not really wanting to strike up a conversation. Garrett then stumbled his way into the house, approaching Elizabeth. Kyoski wouldn't like that idea, for he would protectively stand in front of Elizabeth. Garrett would then watch in annoyance, propping the weapon onto his shoulders. "Still hanging out with kids I see. Why don't you ditch them and come have a little fun with me?"

Garrett would laugh, seeming to be enjoying himself. Elizabeth would begin to get mad, Kyoski soon noticing. He would grab hold of Elizabeth's arm in a calm way, his cold hand touching her warm skin. Garrett then glanced around the house, spotting a nearby potted plant. "Elizabeth, kid number one, and kid number two. I have a question for you all. What do you think this is?" No one answered him, for no one wanted him to stay any longer.

After a long while of total silence, Garrett clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Fine I see how it is. Alright then, I guess I'm going to have to show you. Fun suckers." He then flipped a switch on the weapon, aiming it at the potted plant. When he pulled the trigger, everything from the dirt to the pot turned to dust. When the beam hit the plant, Elizabeth would jump was she watched it turn to dust.

Garrett just laughed it off, "This is a bio-weapon. Where did I get this? Well, some really good friends of mine, let's call them bounty hunters, overheard some information they thought was a threat to this world. So, they called me in because they knew I could get in here without any problem. Oh, and did I forget to mention that I know your little secret? That's right. I know you all are immortal!"

By his last sentence, he had hot tears streaming down his face. He was also pissed that Elizabeth could no longer follow him into old age. He then aimed the bio-weapon at Sayeko, the tears still flowing. "You let these brats change you! They're the first ones to go! They took you away from me! They have to pay!" Elizabeth would move in front of Sayeko, grabbing hold of his arm like what Kyoski was still doing with her. "You will harm no one! Now, leave! I don't want to see you here any more!"

Garrett would be in total shock, staggering back a bit. "You... you'd pick them over me...?" Elizabeth stood her ground. "Always." He then got pissed, starting the gun up. He would have more tears flowing. "How could you do this?! Why would you rip out my heart and shred it right before me?! I've been through so much shit for you and this is how you repay me?! I got shot in the leg because of you! I'm going to lose my job over these damm brats?! That's not how this works!!"

**Real trigger warning. It'll get very violent from here until the end of the chapter. Read at your own risk**

Elizabeth released Sayeko, making Kyoski release her as well. Her eyes had gotten darker, her rage reaching a point where she just wanted Garrett to stop talking forever. At first, all Elizabeth would do was squeeze his throat to a certain point where her fingers could interlock with one another. Garrett had a twisted smirk on his face, "Is that all you got? Come on, Elizabeth. You can do way better than that." And so she did. Elizabeth shoved Garrett to the ground hard, punching his face i every clear spot. Soon, blood would start to come from Garrett, Elizabeth getting blood all over her hands.

Garrett would be in tears once again, this time because Elizabeth was hurting him real badly. He would try his best and throw Elizabeth off of him, multiple tries failing. He then smashed his head against hers, Elizabeth backing off a bit. Garrett took this time and threw Elizabeth across the room into the wall. She would fall down to the floor like a doll, Garrett bleeding more worse than before.

He would take the gun in his hand, aiming at himself with shaky hands. Elizabeth got to her feet, watching with a curious expression. Tears mixed with his own blood fell to the floor, Garrett's shaky hands holding the bio-weapon to his heart. He would take a deep breath. "I-I'm going to pull it..." Elizabeth didn't say anything to stop him, watching him still. He took another shaky breath, "I really mean it, Elizabeth..!" Still, she wouldn't say a thing. Garrett then began to whine, "Come on, Elizabeth! Where is your good side that helped me back here after that one chick shot me the first time?! Please! I don't wanna die with you watching me like that... Please... I don't want to... But with certain actions come with certain consequences." Elizabeth just watched with an uninterested expression, not really caring what happens to Garrett.

He then shot an angry glare at the brothers, pressing down hard on the trigger. With one green flash of light, Garrett would turn to dust and the weapon would fall into the pile that used to be Garrett. Sayeko and Kyoski watched in horror as they watched the scene unfold. Elizabeth on the other hand would begin to sway, her anger slowly going down.

**End of trigger warning. Long story short, Garrett will no longer be here in the story physically**

Kyoski would run up to Elizabeth, catching her in his arms as they both went down. Kyoski held Elizabeth close as she passed out. Sayeko would look over at the weapon, as well as the dust. He then released a sigh, "I say we give him a proper funeral. It's a closed casket, so no one will get suspicious of what really happened. We won't tell Elizabeth she was the cause of it, for she will feel guilt." Kyoski then spoke up, "Sounds fair. What about the fake cause of death?" Sayeko then looked down at the dust pile, "Falling off a cliff while he was making his way back up to the L.O.G.I." Sayeko stopped talking for the rest of the night, for he was more focused on other things in his mind.
