Chapter 10: Unexpected Guests
She heard a loud tud coming from the balcony of her room. She crawled to the other end of the bed to get a clear view from what it was. She froze as she saw a man's shadow.
The said man gave a low menacing laugh "It ends here" she almost jump out of shock when she recognized who's the owner of the voice.
"R-Ritcher?" she stuttered "W-why are you here?"
She couldn't explain what she's feeling. A part of her was relieved to see that it's just him, but she felt something strange. A tingling feeling in her stomach, a feeling that she gets when she's nervous.
"Why I'm here?" he repeated "Well, that's an odd question. This is my brother's mansion, am I not welcome here?"
"That's not what I mean"
"Of course it isn't"
She doesn't like this guy. Sometimes he can be soo intimidating, sometimes he gives you the cold shoulder, and sometimes he treats you as if you're the most vulnerable thing in the world. Sometimes she couldn't help but think that this family is mentally ill. It's rude but that's what a normal person would think.
His outstare made her look away, she felt like he's trying to melt her. Her eyes travelled from him to the ceiling, to the door, to the floor, and then back at him. Vice versa.
'This man is awkward' She couldn't look at him properly 'I hate this atmosphere'
"W-what do you mean earlier?" she was still hesitating to ask, but her mouth moved on it's own accord
"Pardon?"
She cleared her throat "What do you mean by: It ends here?"
She knows what it's about, but she asked anyways. She always questioned the obvious, but never wondered about the things that aren't.
The vampire accelerated towards her, ignoring her question. Not breaking eye contact, he marched towards her slowly, taking his time.
"R-Ritcher?"
"Yes?"
He's acting weird (but he never once acted normal), She can't tell what's on his mind. She can't read the expression on his face.
"I asked you a question" she replied
"A question?"
"Y-yes"
"What question?"
She's fully aware that he's just playing with her, and she's stupid enough to let him. She hates it, but as long as he have that knife like fangs she has no match for him.
"What do you-"
She was cut off when he snapped his fingers. Two men in the form of dogs appeared. Wolves, yes they are wolves.
Karlheinz's words rang back in her mind never trust Ritcher, he's after the power you wield, andshe never doubted his words. She doesn't like the Ritcher, but the man was the one who fed her some informations about Karl's sons. She respected him.
"What's this?"
"What is what?"
He never answered her questions properly, but still he was the one who stood up for her when Karl decided to just throw her in the mansion the moment she signed the contract.
He didn't helped her much, but having a person beside you to explain what was happening kept her sane.
"Why did you summoned HellDogs?" she creased her forehead "Why are you..."
"They're not mine" he hissed "They're not HellDogs, can't you tell by the foul smell?"
The said creatures growled at Ritcher's remark. Silhouette of man is visible behind the dogs, that's when she realized that those aren't HellDogs, they're wolves.
One of the wolves growled, within split seconds the ugly looking dog took the form of a blonde man wearing a black eye patch covering his left eye "We should be the one complaining about that, vampire"
She wished she read those books about these creatures that Edgar gave her, that simple knowledge would have saved her from this situation.
"A First blood?" the green haired man snickered "My dear brother had let his guard down" he added "I'm guessing you're the former first blood king, or are you not?"
The man wearing an eye patch made a face that indicates he's irritated "Are you insu-"
He was about to make a sentence, but was cut off by his companion who took the form of a white haired man with eyes like Karl's "I'm the former first blood king"
"A king?" Ritcher mocked "Where's your people? Dead"
"Wait" she raised her hand "I don't understand what the hell you're talking about, please don't forget that I'm still here"
Despite that fact that she's scared to death she can still put up a though act.
"Obviously, we're all here for you" Ritcher replied "The only problem is that I dislike sharing"
She doesn't understand the situation, but she knows she's in trouble. She wants to run, but her body is frozen in fear.
"Neither are we" the white haired man replied
Silence reigned, only the human's rasp breathing can be heard. They're just staring at eachother, none of them dared to move.
"S-so, are you going to just stare at eachother..." she joked, laughing nervously "...and who wins will have me?"
"That's a fair deal" a hint of sarcasm is present in the green haired man's voice "We can stare at eachother for eternity"
"What is the ruckus all about?"
Without hesitating Reiji gently opened the door revealing the other Sakamaki residents, who she assumed had left. They've been listening to their conversation the whole time.
"My, my" Laito gasped "We have guests"
"You could've just used the gate instead of the balcony" Ayato snorted
"Who cares, they're not welcome" -Subaru
"Of course they aren't, Teddy"
Reiji cleared his throat "May I ask what business you have here?"
"Well, my beloved nephews I'm here to commence the awakening"
"What about your friends?" -Laito
"They're not my friends" Ritcher hissed "They're from the founders bloodline"
Yui is in deep thought trying to analyze the situation that's giving her a headache, heck things got more complicated when he mentioned the founders bloodline.
"That bloodline had long been forgotten" Shu who had been sitting beside the door stood up (rarely happens) "They're extinct"
"But here we are..." the man wearing an eye patch replied "...back for our revenge"
She averted her gaze from the man to his companion whom she caught staring at Shu, trying to analyze something.
"I'm assuming you're the eldest, the current head of this household" the white haired man said referring to Shu "I've come here in search for the lone survivor of our race"
"Who could that possibly be?" -Reiji
"That would be you" the man answered pointing his index finger at Yui "Eve"
