The silence was killing her. If it wasn't the boys torturing her on a daily basis, it was the silence that filled the entirety of the mansion. It just made her feel more lonely than she already was; sure, she's tried to talk to one of the brothers when she passed them in the halls but God knows the conversations never ended nicely —well for her at least. She couldn't understand how they all lived like this. Surely vampires had to be social, right?
She sighed as she made her way round a corner, it's been a few months since she arrived, but she still hasn't explored the manor. A part of her was more scared than she should be; the other half wanted to know more about their history —how such handsome men can turn bitter cold in seconds.
The corridor was somewhat lit by the moonlight pouring in through the dust covered curtains, trying to take up every possible space available. Yui slowly walked towards the window; placing one hand on the window, and another on her heart, she thought to herself, sadness itching its way onto her face.
"I miss the sun. I miss my friends, my dad, the church... oh dear God, when will one of you come and help me?"
A single tear slipped its way down her cheek. There's no use in hope anymore —nothing, no one, had helped her. She recalled the time when they finally let her into the city. Sure she was watch every second by Subaru who was making sure she wouldn't run off, but it was the first bit of freedom she had every gotten since being here. Naturally, it overwhelmed her and she didn't realise how lonely she actually was until a group of young school girls came barging past her, sending Yui into a stream of flashbacks about how she used to walk back home with two of her closest friends. Her eyes widened as she crouched down to the floor, hands digging in her hair, tears threatening to spill any second. Panic filled her body —they where going to come back for her right? Right? They didn't forget about her already?
"Come on Yui, this is the first time we're allowed out— there's no time for crying, not now." She finally told herself, trying to calm herself down. She turned her head round ever so slightly, wiping the tears that fell. She could feel his gaze burning into her. He was roughly 100 feet behind her, and for once, she was thankful for the space; not wanting them to see her cry, "It will only fuel their hearts more."
Standing up and dusting her skirt off, she continued her walk, staring at the numerous buildings that passed her. It was strange, she never thought one of the things that she would miss was the shapes and uniqueness of all the different buildings. She could see all the people around her in the corner of her eye looking at her with curiosity, borderline disgust. For once she didn't care what the other thought of her, she was too happy to care. The thought of ever being able to wonder at all of the different shops on her own (well sort of) was what mattered most to her.
She couldn't thank Subaru enough. Out of all of the brothers, she was the least scared of him. Granted, he still drunk her blood and abused her whenever he could, but he'd often hold himself back, lately that is. He'd avoid her at all times, but when she talked to him, she couldn't help but feel a tiny bit safe around him. It confused her to no end, and she often pondered over the thought through sleepless nights. It was his idea, although she didn't think he ran it by his brothers first, but she can worry about that later, right now she was scanning the billboards above her, studying every ounce of detail until there was nothing left.
"Yui" Subaru called out for her. She knew that tone, the anger was hiding in his voice, but she had come to learn that the hard way. She didn't want to defy him, she honestly didn't, but the option of staying the rest of the day around civilisation was something that she yearned for. She turned around, slowly, knowing she wasn't going to get her way. The car was waiting beside him; his gaze paced between Yui and the vehicle.
"Subaru-Kun, please... just another 10 minutes I beg you!" She stared down at the floor, unable to meet his eyes. She could feel the anger radiating off of him, but this was too important to her to just give away already. "Please, you don't understand, none of you do!"
She carefully stepped backwards, her hands gripping onto her hair as she didn't bother to hide er tears. "Run" she told herself, and run she did. Deep at the back of her mind, she knew there was no point, they would catch her, they always did. Yui expected her mind to regret the series of events that she now realised wasn't going to work out for her, but she couldn't help it, but just kept on running.
A rough tug at her arm brought her back to reality and back inside the limousine. A yelp fell from her lips as soon as her back collided with the cushioned seats and floor. Panicking, she picked herself back up and scattered towards the furthest seat away from the door. Dear God save.
He slammed the door shut as he sat down. His gaze never left her face, watching her cry so pathetically.
"You're a fucking idiot!" He yelled, clutching his fists, trying not to hit the car. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Heh, who would of thought you had courage defying me? Guess I'll have to teach you again..." His voice gradually switched back to a calming tone, which scared her more than anything.
