Chapter 3:

The drive back to the mansion was silent, just like earlier, the atmosphere is so tense that you can cut it with a butter knife and eat it.

Yui's eyes are glued to her feet, she's too scared to look up. The brothers are terrifying. No. She doesn't fear them, she fears their fangs. Those sharp canines that can easily pierce her skin and drain her life force away.

It's terrifying. To think that these vampires can easily kill her with very little effort and can feel satisfied afterwards. Like swatting away an irritating distraction.

They hadn't had a drink in days, they're hungry. Very hungry.

The car engine keeps roaring as they speed their way home. The air is thick with many mixed emotions from all of the brothers.

Annoyance, disgust, desire, insanity, obsession and anger.

She'll be lucky to survive this night. Or any other night at all.

This is it. This is her life now. Every day she will wake and a go to sleep in fear. She will live her life in fear until the day she dies.

No. Wrong. Not until the day she dies. Yui is 'Eve', the one who started this mess, the one who ate the fruit from that tree. Her sins and crimes weigh down on her shoulders, unfortunately, she can never have the strength to carry it all on her own.

But who is there to help her? Her father abandoned her, the church she grew up in pretends she doesn't even exist anymore and no one in school has even approached her.

Who would want to help a being so pitiful and weak?

No one.

The four motorcycles have stopped and are parked at the side of the perfect tar road that is rarely used by anyone. What a waste.

The four silhouettes are sat on top of their motorcycles' speaking to each other in hushed voices.

"How much longer, sis?" asked the pink eyed teen.

"It's hard to tell from where we are, maybe three hours or so. We haven't even passed the village yet," replied the older sister.

They have been travelling for over eighteen hours on their motorcycles, it has been a very mentally and physically exhausting journey.

"Can we rest?" the younger sister asked the hazel eye coloured teenager. "We've been going on for four hours straight and we need to find a petrol station, our bikes are running low on fuel."

"Yeah, I guess. But not by the road, it'll look suspicious to passers."

"Tch. As if anyone will be using this route." The purple eyed, raven haired girl blurted. "I mean, we haven't seen anyone since we took the turn at the intercross. And that was over six hours ago." She corrected.

"You gotta a point, Kaiya." The pink eyed sister wiped her head around, looking up and down the road. "But still... We need to be careful of them and the other ones."

We're back at the mansion, I just hope I can survive the night. Luckily the brothers don't seem to be interested in my blood right now. They've gone their separate ways and leaving me behind.

I honestly don't care where or what they're all doing, I just want to go to my room, change and do my homework. Mock exams are coming up soon, I don't want to fail because one, Reiji will kill me (pun intended)and two, I don't want to get bad grades.

I open the door to my room, throw my bag on a chair near the vanity table and flop onto the bed. I'm exhausted and I haven't even started to do my homework yet.

I close my eyes, I really don't want to move. Three days of recovering and Reiji's potions to speed up the recovery. Three days...

That's not enough.

That's not enough time for me. Even though the wound has healed leaving a faint little scar, I still don't feel well. Physically I look fine but mentally and emotionally?

I'm still healing. I'm still battle-scarred.

I exhale loudly and open my eyes.

Seriously what do they expect from me? I'm not a doll. If I break and you fix me I won't be 'brand new'. I'm human, I have scars and imperfections just like everybody else.

I don't believe that vampires are as perfect and flawless as they seem to be.

I've witnessed their pasts and I know what happen. I've seen everything.

I drag my body off the bed and flopped on the chair near the vanity table in the corner. I take out my text books and revision notes. I pull my hair back into a tight ponytail.

I pick up a sheet of paper and flip open a textbook. Just by the look at the words on the page makes my brain hurt.

Oh well. Life is not fair, so why complain?

The six brothers are lounging in the games room, none of them have said a word since they came back. All of them are silently debating with themselves whether they should feed tonight or not.

Laito is playing darts by himself at a corner of the room. Reiji is sitting on his armchair, reading his little notebook. Ayato is playing billiards against himself. Subaru is glaring staring out of a window. Kanato is whispering and giggling to himself Teddy. And Shu is... Being Shu.

Three days since she came back and the brothers are all still feeling uneasy. Just how powerful is she?

They witnessed Richter, manipulated into doing her dirty work, Ayato fighting against him and Yui.

Yui...

Honestly, her stupidity is beyond comparison. Why would she even do such a thing like that? It's unnecessary and reckless.

The brothers can look after themselves, they don't need anyone. No one.

Ayato left the billiards table and proceeded to the exit.

"Ayato," Reiji asks, not even taking his attention away from his book.

Ayato stops in his tracks and turns his head. "What?"

"Where are you going?"

Ayato turns his body around facing his older brother, "What's it with you?" He countered back.

"Are you going to see Yui?" Reiji implies his attention still centred on his book.

Ayato hates being ignored like this, he hates it. It's just like when she was here, she would do this to him, "So what if I am, why would you even care?!" He spat out.

The room is silent. Those words playing over their heads like a broken record.

"Why would you even care?" Do they care? Do they feel something for the girl? Truly? It's hard to tell.

Vampires are well known for having no 'real' emotions. The Sakamaki brothers are no exception. They were raised in a glamorous mansion in an unforgiving reality, three rival mothers and with a father that neglected his children. The only real emotions they, themselves, believe they possess are the ones essential for their survival.

Snapping himself out of that trance Ayato turn his back to his brothers once again, "Tch. Whatever, I'm leaving," He disappeared out of the room and into the hallway. His next destination - Yui's room.
