Mahiru laid motionless in the bed with his brown eyes closed. His skin was still an unhealthy pale, with shallow almost nonexistent breathing and a slow heartbeat. The eve was not really awake , nor was he asleep. Mahiru was in a state between consciousness and sleep, living and dead. Though his body wasn't really working, his mind was. He could hear two people near him talking. One of them he recognized right away, and the voice would send a chill down his spine if he could feel anything. It was Tsubaki. The other he knew was Sakuya. He tried his best to focus on what they were saying, but it was no use. Mahiru's heart shattered. Here he was, with Tsubaki, and most likely dying. All because his friend Sakuya had helped the servamp to get him.
Any normal person would be angry,well more like furious with their friend for such a betrayal. But not Mahiru. He wasn't mad with Sakuya,but himself. After all his friend had warned him to not trust him for he would hurt him if ordered so. Sakuya said he could never betray Tsubaki. The eve blamed himself for this. If he had kept his promise and gotten Sakuya away from the servamp they would both be safe and he wouldn't be here. He had let his friend down,and now he was paying the price. As he laid there he wondered what the servamp of Melancholy's plans with him were. If it was to merely kill him,why was he still alive? Unless... (Kuro,is this a plan to get Kuro? Some sort of trap, with me as live bait perhaps?) He wondered.
A new worry, well more like two actually entered his mind. The first was, was Kuro still alive? The second was their distance limitation. How far were the two apart and for how long had they been so? But he knew worrying about such things was pointless now since he could do nothing about it. Of course he still was hoping his lazy friend was okay somehow and doing far better than he was. Suddenly he could hear Sakuya's voice again. He sounded worried about something, but Mahiru couldn't tell what it was. He then heard Tsubaki's laughter.
Standing over the helpless eve staring at him was Tsubaki with a rather creepy grin. Sakuya frowned at the servamp then spoke up. "What will you do if his servamp wakes up? He'll come looking for Mahiru. Are you not even a little worried what he will do if he catches you? I mean, if you do end up turning Mahiru into your subclass..." Sakuya was interrupted as Belkia came running in looking worried. "Tsubakyun! Sleepy Ash isn't where we left him. He's gone,I knew we should of just killed him!" The pink haired subclass whined in a rather desperate tone fearful of what Kuro would do if he caught any of them. Tsubaki grinned. "Almost interesting. Let's see if brother can reach us in time? Beru you and Higan keep brother sloth distracted. And,if things get rough do whatever you have to to stay alive understood?" Tsubaki ordered Belkia,not wanting any of his subclass killed. Belkia nodded and left the room to find Higan and Kuro. Tsubaki then looked at Sakuya. "You stand guard outside the door encase he makes it past Higan and Belkia okay?" As Sakuya left the room Tsubaki laughed through his sleeve,then added, "Boring."
Once outside the apartment door Sakuya sighed closing his red eyes and clenching his fist with anger. Inside laying on the bed Mahiru had managed to make out some of the conversation through his weakened dazed state. Most importantly he made out the part about him being turned into a subclass. (Tsubaki make me one of his subclass? No...he wouldn't do that would he?) For a few moments the eve's heart stopped altogether from fear. He didn't want to be Tsubaki's subclass, he didn't want to serve him. It wasn't as much as the idea of being a vampire that upset him, but the idea that he might end up hurting his friends and Kuro. He was now filled with fear of what was to happen.
