Chapter 4. Disability
" Arghhh my head huuurts!" I yawned face palming myself.
But that single move, managed somehow to make me cry. Without me realizing , tears started rolling on my cheeks , from the agonizing pain I was feeling.
I then remembered. Everything. The way Laito cornered me and how I managed to escape just to bump into Ayato in the kitchen. What he did to me...was horrible...the way he threw me on the table a-a-and the way he bit me and forced me to scream ...the way he almost killed me..he was a m-monster. No...my mistake . He was a bloodsucker .
My eyes widened as everything was starting to clear in my head.
"I have to run. I have to get out of here. If I don't...well, let's just say that there won't be a second chance for me." I thought to myself , wondering how in the world I survived .
I was shaking so badly . God, I never thought I could be this scared in my life. I had to get up...wait..Apparently , I was in my room ... How did I get here? Hmm, that was the least they could've done, after leaving me there to bleed to death. But fact that they put me back in bed doesn't change anything at all. They were sick psychopaths, and if there was any slight chance that I could run away , I should definitely take it
I got up from bed, but the excruciating pain was too much to take . I literally thought that I was dying...no, my bad. I literally thought I was dying yesterday, on the kitchen table...All my mind was full of flash backs. The way Ayato drained me...the way he forced himself on me..was just wrobg and terrible..
How the hell did I end up in my night gown? Great...they were not only blood suckers, but they were also perverts...and some of them maybe pedophilles. Could it be that I've also been raped in my unconscious?
I thought about it a little checking myself...and everything seemed to be fine...so I sighed in relief. Yep, fortunatelly I was still a virgin. I didn't feel anything strange. Okay , "anything strange" if you exclude all the burning scars all over my body.
I checked myself in the mirror.. I looked terrible. My almost blonde-white tips were dried in blood and all over my body there were scars. On my stomach, neck, sholders, legs, hips , arms...and I could've sworn that I also had a scar on my butt, needn't I mention the thighs.
"You can do this Yuki". I tried to make myself feel confident, thinking of a plan to escape.
Firstly , I should check my phone. But...what the hell was it? I turned, looking through every corner. God, no...I had it with me yesterday...but then Ayato appeared. That bastard ! He must've taken it.
"Duh Yui. Could you be more stupid than this ? Of course a group of vampires will try to block any possible way to contact someone. God! How am I going to do this?" I wondered, wanting to punch myself .
"Looking for this? " a soft voice asked.
I froze at thst single sound. I turnered around slowly, to find Shu layed on my bed, with his eyes closed. He was holding my only way out of the mansion. It was my cell phone. I gasped in horror as he started crushing it .
"No! Stop that! That's my phone! " I started screaming in horror.
If I were to be left without the phone...then all my plans will go down. How was I supposed to call my dad, to beg him to take me away from here and these evil creatures? That phone was everything...it was the key to my salvation. I felt my eyes watery...
"Did you honestly think, that you had a slightly chance leaving this place ? If that's so, then you really are stupid. To think that we'll let you wander in town screaming 'vampires' , 'vampires exist'. The moment you entered these grounds..you were already doomed. So instead of making impossible plans, you should just accept your faith as...a simple blood bag." he said peacefully, as if these words meant nothing to him.
How could he be so ignorant about this? How could he say such horrible things to a person without even blinking? I bit my tongue so hard as not to cry. That was the last thing that I wanted to show him. I was affected by his words...but they were sadistic beings...they definitely enjoyed my pain, my fear and my sadness.
He inspected my face in search of some kind of emotion. But I kept my sadness masked...my face was blank. He blinked a few times staring at me, trying maybe to scare me, but I kept myself firm...I think that I even managed to look a bit courageos.
Obviously , that must've pissed him off, because he got up from the bed and started going slowly towards me. As he came closer , I tried to stay in the same place, because if I started backing off , he would most probably sense my fear. And that was the last thing I wanted.
I then had a perfect vision on him. I could see his beautiful gold strands, which only highlighted his gorgeous blue eyes. How could appereances be so deceptive? He appeared almost like an angel, with big blue baby eyes, but I couldn't be fooled anymore. I approve to the fact that the eyes are said to be the doorway to the soul. Altough his appereance seemed angelic and innocent, his eyes pointed the opposite. The coldness in his eyes made me wanna shiver . They were so cold that I instantly wanted to break the eye contact, but he grabed my chin forcing me to look at him.
I closed my eyes , to calm myself as not to show him that I am afraid .
"Open your eyes." he said in calm tone..but I knew that that was only at the surface... it was actually a threatening one.
I opened my eyes at once, looking at him coldly, and at the same time a serios blank face. I wasn't going to show him that I am affected.
"You are a fool if you think that I am actually buying this crap. You are not fooling anyone with this sudden boldness. If anything, you will only get yourself more in trouble." he said with frigidness.
He let go of my chin , waiting for some kind of reaction from me , I suppose. But I didn't break the eye contact , as he expected. I stared deeply in his eyes trying to convince him that I'm not afraid. He looked kind of bored, all of a sudden. He puffed in an arogant way and pushed me hard to the wall. Al of these in just a fraction of a second. The air left my lungs at the sudden impact. I felt how he pinned my wrists, so that I wouldn't move.
"This is it Yui. Just don't show him that you are afraid. Ignore all the pain...and all the adrenaline. Just keep your blank figure. You can do this" I thought trying to calm myself.
I took a deep breath , and opened my eyes with the same cold , blank face. He growled, pushing me even harder into the wall . I wanted to scream in pain. I was being crushed, and couldn't help but feel that he was making a hole in the wall using me as a working tool.
He grabbed me and slammed me to the wall again with fury in his eyes.
"Just stop with all this fucking acting ! I already told you that you are an idiot to think that we can't sense your fear!
I bit my tongue so hard that it started bleeding. The metalic , salted taste filled my hole mouth as I tried to make the pain go away.
"If you find fear amusing,then you are a sick person and you should know by now that you won't get it from me." I said with my eyes full of hate, sensing how my fear was being replaced by anger .
He rapidly wiped my hair from my neck and bit me . It was painful, but it didn't compare to what I'd experienced had no mercy, even when I begged him, he just bit more deeply. Shu was being gentle, on the other hand. Apparently, he just wanted to have his meal and get on with it. And I really appreciated that. He didn't enjoy making people scream in pain and cry for help like Ayato or Laito did. He just wanted to eat.
I stood there for what seemed la one minute , before he finally removed his fangs. By the look on his face , he was very pleased. In those moments , I really wished for my blood to taste like shit , if it meant to be left alone by those sick bastards.
" Ayato was right. Greatest quality " he said , heading for the door.
Normally , I'd have taken that as a compliment...but honestly, right in that moment, it was scaring the shit out of me.
"Shu..." I begun saying without even thinking.
He stopped and turned his head to face me. He raised his eyebrows , waiting for me to say what I wanted. But suddently , his figure went all icy cold , as if I had done something terribly wrong.
"If you want to thank me for the fact that I didn't ripped all of you in pieces , you should first consider that I wasn't quite in the mood. Your stupidity starts to annoy me, already."
And that was the perfect way to make a person feel like shit... . And ...for just a tiny moment I thought I started to like him. I just thought he was different. But then again, I was quite stupid to think that they can be peacefull beings. There is absolutely nothing peaceful in ripping someone's throat out.
I closed my mouth keeping my thoughts to myself, but I didn't show my surprise. It was more like a feeling of shame tangled with dissapointment.
"I-I just wanted to say that I'm glad..." I lied smiling.
"For what ? " he asked raising his eyebrows in confusion.
"For the fact that you like my blood." I said trying to seem perfectly normal.
He stared at me for 3 seconds and then he just vanished.
God. Really ? How could I say such a stupid thing? Maybe now they will get the impression that I like being bitten, or worse...that I want to be killed. But then, what else I was supposed to say? If I didn't sayed something fast enough he would've thought that he nailed my thoughts. I still had my pride...and I wasn't going to let a bunch of creeps take that from me.
I threw myself on the bed, in search of my cell. Yes...there was nothing I could do. It was all in pieces. I didn't mind that he destroyed the cell...what horrified me was the fact that absolutely all the numbers I could've called , were gone. There was nothing left for me . I didn't knew my Father's number...anyone's number for that matter...However , there is somebody...But I doubt that there's something he could do.
The image of Daniel popped in my mind. Of course I knew his number... We used to talk on the phone all night long. I already missed him, altough it had been only...3 days , I think since I've last seen him.
Well, there weren't any options left. It was this or nothing. And right now, it seemed to me that Daniel was my only chance. But how in the world wil I get to a phone booth?If I were to buy another cell phone, I was afraid that it might end up like this one did. And the mansion appeared to lack off any kind of means of communication. There was no Internet, and not even a frickin' phone. They have probably already thought about me wanting to escape, so they ditched every single way of contanting someone. Smart, I'd say, but not enough.
I changed myself in the bathroom. Of course , I 'd also locked the door. After the incident with Ayato , I just couldn't afford to leave my guard. If there was anything at all that I could do in order to be safe, I didn't thought more than once about it, but put it in the perspective.
I was afraid of leaving my room, but I was so hungry , that I thought I could die. I hadn't eaten for over one day and now that I thought about it, I realized how weak I was. I slid the door open and checked the hall. I knew it was useless , because if they'd wanted to scare me the could've easily use their incredible it made me feel more secure...to know that I am checking every possible obstacle.
I walked as silently as I could , heading towards the kitchen. And by the time I reached it, I was already gasping and sweating, from all the effort. The fact that I hadn't eaten for so long time , managed to make me feel as a vegetable. Weak and useless . I couldn't afford to be weak in these moments. I had to keep myself as healthy as possible .
I opened the fridge , and thought in just one second that I shoud cook some takoyaki. I've always loved it. I grabbed all the ingredients I needed and got to work.
It didn't took too long for me to finish. " If I don't have a bite soon , I'm going to collapse" I thought sniffing the divine smell.
I sat on the chair and started eating as if my life depended on it. And God it was so good. Of course, only a weirdo like me will find herself in a situation like this: eating takoyaki in the middle of the night , because she didn't ate for over one day, because she had been attacked by some psycho vampires, because she had been sent away from home far away in Japan in a house full of bloodsuckers. Makes sense , doesn't it ?
I was so hungry that I'd eaten 10 of those, witjout evem realising, which was quite shoking for me, espeacially because I wasn't used to eat a lot.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. God, this was the best meal I've ever had. When I lifted my eyes from the plate , I was shocked to find Reiji standing in the doorway. He was looking at me unpleasent.
"Didn't they teach at home how to actually eat? Your manners are really bothering me." he said fixing his glasses.
"I'm sorry Reiji, I was just to hungry to even care about that. I will pay attention next time. I promise." I said trying to be a good girl listening to her host's rules.
"For you is Reiji-san. I am aware that you have absolutely no clue about japanese, but since you are now living here , you WILL learn our language as you will also attend school. You will find your uniform on your bed. Please go change at once, since we're already going to be late." he said looking at me with no expression at all.
"But how am I suppose to learn japanese?It's one of the most difficult languages in the world. And how could we possibly be late at school if it's not even 1 in the morning?I asked rather confused and agitated .
Learning a language is hard when you have absolutely no clue about it. But learning japanese? That is almost impossible.
"Since we attend school at night , you will also conform to this way of living. Your day becomes night, and your night becomes day. And concerning your little language difficulty , you will have 2 hours of meditations with a specialized proffesor per day. So you should do just fine"he said giving me a bored look.
I sat up and headed to the door. Reiji was blocking the way so I had to stop. I looked at him with a blank expression waiting for him to move out of the way. However, there was a high probability that he would want to suck my blood like all the others wanted. But as I was rethinking that theory he moved from the doorway, letting me pass.
I smiled in relief as I headed upstaires. I entered my room , and shockingly I was hit by the cold wind. Somehow , the windows were all open.
Clearly, they couldn't have opened by themselves, so it definitely had to be one of the brothers who did this. Still, I didn't get it. What was this supposed to mean? If this was their way of teasing me, then they failled miserably. It was kind of weird for them , but then again...I should rethink what it's weird and what's not , because lately, I realized that I'm always wrong about which is and which isn't.
I grabbed my uniform and studied it closely. Back in America I wasn't used to wear uniform, but I always heard about Japan and it's strict schools and uniforms...just never thought that I'd actually get to wear one. They were similar to those in animes, and I really liked them. They were feminine. Not too old, but not too excentric or provocative either.
"Strip for Ore-sama. " said a familliar voice.
I knew who that person was, and just the sound of his voice made me shudder. He was the source of all my nightmares . It was his fault that I was scared even by my shadow. And then , when I thought about it ...he was the one I hated the most.
Author note: Sooo here's the chapter. It's much later than I 've expected, bu then again , I have to thank math for that. So hope you enjoyed it. And again, I know there are a lot of mistakes and I am also aware that my use of english(I mean as in vocabulary) it's not that developt. I just hope that this stories will improve my writting . I'm looking forward to your reviews and critics :).
Kisses&Hugs
