Blood stained lies
Alright so this is another fanfic with my favorite couple Amuto. This is yet again another vampire fanfic only this time it's a bit darker than my usual vampire fanfics. Anyway here it is hope you like it.
Amu's POV
~Amu is eight- years-old~
I lied in my bed crying silently to myself as I heard my mom and her husband fighting yet again. I heard the front door slam after the fighting had stopped. As expected my step-father walked in with a bottle of whisky in his hands and a very mad look. He grabbed my hair and pulled me off my bed then he dragged me to floor. He started punching and kicking me repeatedly. I tried to get up and slightly succeeded I finally stood up straight after a few seconds, only to be slapped again. I fell again to the floor and I watched my step-father leave my room and yet again I heard the front door slam. I always had to endure this because if I didn't my step-father would hurt my mom. It was around four in the afternoon and the sun hadn't set yet and it still looked pretty sunny outside. After a few minutes I finally got up and went to the bathroom. I saw that my face had a bruise forming on the right side. I ignored it and decided to go to the park not too far from my house. Once I got to the park I sat on a nearby bench. I've always lived this way since I was five- years-old. As I reminisced about my painful earlier years I started to cry. I hated living in that house just as much as I hated my stepfather. I tried to tell my mother the truth a few times but each time all she did was slap me and yell at me calling me a liar. After some of the crying stopped I looked up at all the happy children that were playing. I looked all over the park and by coincidence I saw four very familiar faces. For the first time in a few days I saw a few friendly faces. The two children were known as Ikuto and Utau Tsukiyomi and they were my best friends and really my only friends. Ikuto probably saw the bruise on my face seeing as how he ran to me as fast as he could.
"Amu what happened to you? Are you alright?" Ikuto questioned looking as worried as his younger sister Utau and came running to me. Aruto-san bent down to me and looked truly sincere.
"Amu did Christopher do this to you?" Aruto asked worriedly. All I did was nod. Aruto knew my stepfather abused me to no end.
"Amu I don't think you should go home right now it doesn't seem safe." Souko suggested. The Tsukiyomi's are family friends and use to come over a lot before my mom married Christopher. After she married him she soon became an alcoholic and the marriage has been going downhill ever since they both started drinking. So my life has been a living hell since age five but, thankfully the Tsukiyomi's have always welcomed me in their home whenever I was in trouble. Honestly I feel like a burden towards them sometimes.
"C'mon Amu you can home with us I'll help you with your cuts and bruises and then I'll make you something to eat." Souko said.
"Um really it's a-alright I was just h-heading home n-now." I stuttered. Once I got up I winced from the pain in my legs and arms. I was about to fall when Ikuto caught me. I was exhausted from being kept up all last night from the yelling and screaming I heard last night. Along with that I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't even get up so Ikuto carried me to his house. All I could see was fuzzy. Once Ikuto put me in the guest room I quickly fell asleep.
Ikuto's POV
~Ikuto's nine-years-old~
"Dad I think we should let Amu live here. It's not safe for her here." I stated once we went into the living room.
"I know it's just her mom who won't let us for whatever reason." My father replied.
"I've tried to talk to Midori about it but she just rejected the entire idea." My mother added.
"Then what can we do for her? It's not fair she has to live like this?" I questioned.
"Well if we involve ACS then Amu will be taken into foster care and then she might be put into a more painful and difficult situation." Father said.
"So are we supposed to wait until Amu runs away or gets seriously hurt?" I asked. Mother and Father just each looked down.
"Wait what if we go to court and talk about becoming Amu's legal guardians." I suggested. My mother and Father looked happy and determined. Once Amu woke up my father and Utau went to go help her with her cuts and bruises and Mother went into the kitchen to make dinner for all of us. Even though Amu is a family friend she still doesn't know my family's dreadful secret. My family and I have kept this from Midori and other friends and of course Utau's and my classmates. Nobody knows the truth about me and my family actually being vampires. It kills me to keep my secret from Amu. I was quickly brought out of my thoughts as Amu walked down stairs.
"Amu-chan guess what my family and I are going to take you in and my parents are going to watch after you." As I said this Amu looked over-joyed but then her smile turned to a frown.
"What's wrong Amu-chan? Aren't you happy? You don't have to live with your step-dad anymore." I questioned.
"O-of course I'm happy it's just that I'm all mama has since my dad left us. So she doesn't have anyone else and if I leave Christopher will hurt her and I don't want that." Amu said as her eyes began to water.
"Amu-chan Aruto and I are going to get your mom help okay and she's going to go away for a while if she agrees and Christopher is going to jail for what he did to you and what he did to your mom." Amu still looked a little doubtful.
"You might not understand but hurting you and your mom wasn't the only bad thing Christopher did so he won't be able to hurt you or your mom or anyone else anymore." Father tried to explain to Amu the best way he could. Amu understood and nodded. I was so happy Amu was going to live with us.
"So Amu when you finally do live her you'll get an education and you'll be going to school with Ikuto and Utau and above all you'll finally have a family." Mother was explaining.
"Thank you I honestly don't know how to repay you guys." Amu said with a generous smile.
"Amu you don't have to worry about that you're not in any debt you're family to us." Father knelt down to her and kindly replied. The next morning we all went to court filed the papers. And within a week or so Christopher was arrested for endangerment of a child, domestic violence, two counts of theft, property damage, and drug possession along with other lawsuits and other warrants against him in all landed him almost four years in jail. After that was settled my parents talk to Midori and were able to convince her to go to rehab and she did what was best for Amu and she gave up her parental rights and let my parents become Amu's legal guardian.
~Four years later~
Normal POV
Amu was running in the hall almost falling a few times. Her legs were burning and she was out of breath but she had to keep running or they'd catch her again. Unfortunately Amu wasn't paying attention and one of the two upperclassmen girls chasing her tripped her and she fell in the second wing hallway.
"W-what d-do you w-want from me?" Amu asked as she tried to recover from the pain she felt.
"Ugh you Idiot haven't you figured it out yet? You're so pathetic I could almost laugh." Lulu mocked Amu as she laid on the floor in pain from when she tripped her. A few seconds later Saaya joined Lulu.
"Aw Amu-chan it seems you fell. Hahaha every time we've chased you the same result seems to happen to you. You really are a moron. Not only that but you're ugly too. I mean who'd want a girl like you?" As Saaya finished what she was saying she kicked Amu on her right leg. Amu tried to grab her injured leg but Lulu came in and held her arms down pinning her to the floor.
"Say Lulu chan why don't we show this pathetic girl how worthless she really is?" Saaya asked as she and Lulu laughed at Amu's misery. Saaya was about to punch her for the third time today but someone interrupted
"So is this why you two think you're better than everyone else? Honestly you're just as pathetic as a non-regretful home-wrecker. I see but get rejected countless times you're both idiots seeing as how you try to flirt with any guy you see but really you two are hypocritical seeing as how deep down you two are scared little immature girls and that's what's really pathetic." Ikuto said as helped Amu up from the floor.
"Now you've gone too far and harmed someone that's precious to me so if I were you I'd watch your backs." As he finished that sentence he glared at the two girls which caused them to run.
"Are you alright Amu?" Ikuto asked the girl in his arms.
"Y-yes thank you." Amu replied.
"Alright then let's go home." Ikuto said with a smile. As they neared the house Ikuto started to smell blood and once they got to the house they head a lot of screaming and shouting. The door was locked so Ikuto finally kicked the door in only to find his parents lying on the floor bleeding next to Christopher who was also next to them but he was dying.
"Mon-sters" and that was his last breath as he seized to live.
"MOM, DAD SPEAK TO ME!" Ikuto yelled.
"SOUKO, ARUTO PLEASE, IT CAN'T END THIS WAY PLEASE!" Amu yelled.
"A-mu it's okay just k-keep g-going on and n-never g-give u-up. Ikuto p-please keep on l-living I t-tell Utau I-I love h-her I-I love you Ikuto."
"I love you too." Ikuto replied while his eyes started to water as his mother stopped breathing.
"I-Ikuto I love you and your sister very much and Amu I l-love you t-too I-Ikuto tell Utau I said I love her g-goodbye."
"I love you too." Amu and Ikuto said in unison as Aruto stopped breathing as well. Amu cried as Souko's body was in her hands.
"W-why, why did it have to end this way?" Amu asked as she cried hysterically as did Ikuto soon after, Utau walked in and dropped to her knees at the scene she saw before her eyes. She too cried with her brother and her best friend. After the sobbing noises stopped they each looked at each other as each had the same question on their minds. Even though neither one of them had asked it they each thought it.
"Why?" Each thought to themselves.
