Creature Of A Broken Past (Undertaker x Reader)

Chapter 25: The Fire

I eventually found him in the front of the shop, working on his guest before looking over at me. “Good morning. I wasn’t expecting to see you up so soon, or I would have had breakfast ready for you.”

“It’s okay, I’m not really hungry. I just wanted to see if you were still here.” I answered. “Of course I am, I wouldn’t go anywhere without telling you first.” He says as he continues to work on his guest. For some reason, he seemed to be acting a little weird, so I decided to test it out. “How’d you sleep?”

“Just fine, and you?” He answered. “Just fine... I’m going to go out for a bit.” I said as I started walking over to the door. “Amora-”

“I’ll be back within a half an hour, I just need to grab something quick from my house.” I say as I open the door. “Amora, wait-” I closed the door and start heading for my house. I don’t know why he’s acting this way, I suppose I’ll have to ask him about it later. I just hope it doesn’t have anything to do with me, or about me saying I was ‘ready’. While I do feel bad about it, it is a little soon. I just hope he isn’t having any second thoughts about us.

I started to feel my heart breaking at the thought, and I continued walking a little faster as I try pushing the thought to the back of my mind.

-Back at the shop-

Undertaker continued working on his guest, feeling guilty about how he had reacted towards you. While it had nothing to do with you, he had hoped he hadn’t caused you to feel hurt.

Just as he was about to go after you, he had some unexpected visitors stop by. “Undertaker, is Amora here?!” Ciel asks worriedly. “No, she’s at her house. She’s still upset with you, Lord Phantomhive-”

“Her house is burning down, I had hoped she was here safely with you!”

“And you didn’t think to check for her?!” Undertaker felt his heart begin to shatter as he rushes out the door to look for you.

Upon arriving to your house, he saw it was completely burned down, nothing left standing. “Amora!!” He yells out, but he felt it was too late. He began looking through all the debris, but to no luck.

Just as he was about to break down, he heard something just feet away from him, and he quickly goes to check.

I was in and out of consciousness, struggling to stay awake. My body was burning, and there were debris surrounding me, and on top of me. I thought for sure this was it, that I was never going to see him again.

Suddenly, I heard Undertaker’s voice. I tried yelling out, but I couldn’t speak. Trying to move, I wanted to scream out in pain as it felt like all my bones were broken. Finally, I hear some footsteps rushing closer, and the debris was being moved away from me.

Breathing in some fresh air, Undertaker finds me and begins pulling me out. “Amora, sweetheart, I’m here now.” The pain alone was enough for me to lose consciousness, and I begin losing my vision.

I open my eyes, and everything was dark except for a couple candles that were lit. I look over to the side and found Undertaker sleeping next to me. He looked like he hadn’t slept for days, and his eyes seemed swollen. He has his arm carefully wrapped over me, with his hand resting on the side of my head, and his other hand holding my right hand.

I try moving my other hand over to touch his face, trying my best to ignore the pain. He immediately opens his eyes, and he quickly moves to look at me.

“Amora, baby, thank God you’re okay!” He says as he begins crying. He carefully moves his head into my neck, and I feel his tears streaming down. Bringing my hands around him, I try giving him a hug.
