Hey there, everyone, miss me? No, I know you didn't. This story takes place in the episode Memento Mori (episode 28). Minor spoilers for the series, spoilers for the episode if you have yet to see it. I am wildly in love with Eureka seveN, but will never own it or any of its characters.

Oh yeah, this story is told from Ray's point of view.

Get It by Your Hands

A one-shot

-&-&-&-&-

That horrible, horrible girl. She stole my child, my one and only child, away from me before he was even born. And then she had the nerve to steal Renton away from us! That wretched, horrible beast! As if that weren't enough, there were those she three children…and they called her…MOMMY!

Holland killed my Charles. My one and my only, my Charles. Killed. By Holland. On the Gekko State. And Renton, our son, was there, and he saw it all! I couldn't get over the shock of it all. I escaped and fled back.

I tore the entire ship apart – I threw the eggs and milk on the floor, left books lying open face-down, ripped the sheets off the beds, and even threw all of the bottles of pills out of the medicine cabinet. And then, finally, I found it. It was the song, the song that my Charles loved so much, the song that we'd shared with our Renton, our son. Get It by Your Hands – how could you not think of Charles Beams when you heard it?

My mind was flashing to all the moments we'd shared together, all the moments that now seemed like part of another life. The only tangible proof sat on my finger – my ring, my ring that Charles gave to me. I slid the record into the player, and in minutes, it was on every radio station in the entire world. Now everyone could hear it, everyone could hear the song that was my husband, my husband that Holland had killed.

And finally, they came after me. Renton called out to me, begging me for an answer. Renton, my son, the son of my husband. I wanted so badly to hold him in my arms, to tell him that this was just a horrid nightmare. But I couldn't. And then, I realized it. He was with her. That pathetic excuse for a human, Eureka! She stole my son away!

When I finally was attacked…I can't say I wasn't anticipating it when it came. It was what I wanted, I realized, because I'd be with my Charles again. When I looked up, amid all the flames, I saw my ring, and I reached out for it. I wanted it, I wanted to hold it tight in my hands.

And right as I grabbed it, right as it was by my hands, the flames exploded, and everything we'd shared along with it. But it was over, and I could be with my Charles, and know that Renton would give up that foul creature some day to come join us.

Renton would join us, us, his parents, where that horrible creature couldn't reach us.
