On with the story!
As he made his descent plummeting closer and closer to the ground, he titled his body so that he'd land feet first before he tripped and rolled down a hill falling into some bushes near the pool in the manor's courtyard.
This is actually a pretty good spot they'll never find me in here!
The game began to progress and young Ayato's short attention span was put to the test.
How did Laito already know that I'd hide in my iron maiden?! Am I really that predictable?! This is unacceptable! I am the soon to be vampire king and next successor to Karl Heinz, I need to be a more strategic thinker…but I don't wanna keep losing at chess and battleship anymore!
I've got to win!
I will become king! If not for me than I'll surely do it for my mother's sake! I want to make her proud and show her that I'm competent and worthy of being her eldest son.
Ayato was pulled away from his thoughts when he heard a clap of thunder, the once cloudless baby blue sky morphed into a harsh angry gray.
"Gosh darn it!" The red head exclaimed, "Literally as soon as I hide outside it starts to drizzle!"
He rose from his hiding spot in the bushes finally realizing the small thorns that laced the stems of the emerald green leafed bushes that matched his eyes; he shrugged it off since it didn't hurt him and the small scratches were already beginning to heal and close themselves up.
Maybe I should try hiding in the basement it's not like anything is around there apart from Kanato's stuffed animal collection…it'd actually be way more comfortable than squatting down in thorny bushes, but then again that's probably where he's hiding and I really don't need him throwing a temper tantrum and getting me found out and eliminated from the game.
The young prince's eyes began to survey the area.
I could just hide in the center of the rose garden maze, it's nearly impossible to get to the center of that on the first attempt without reaching any dead ends or something…and Subaru is probably hiding in the same spot as Laito which is probably close to Christa's tower, but knowing Shu he won't give up looking in that dumb maze until he reaches the center he's always so hard working and determined ALL the darn time!
Hopefully he'll just look there as a last resort and then I'll be the victor.
As Ayato made his way towards the garden he the sounds of two adult voices caught his attention.
"Honey?" An almost melodic female voice rang.
That sounds like mother...
Ayato leapt back into the bushes as though the ground was made of lava.
I don't really want here to see me, I might get in trouble somehow.
"K?" Cordelia cooed.
Through the leaves the red head spotted his father walking in twos to avoid talking to his first wife.
"Karl-chan?" The elegant woman sped up her pace but still maintained an air of sophistication determined to have a heartfelt conversation in which her husband would actually show her attention.
"Tiny Heiny-?"
Time froze.
The birds stopped chirping, the bunnies stopped hopping, and Cordelia stopped breathing.
Karl's pale hands had latched onto her neck his once pristine white hair now appeared messy and wild just like his eyes, "What did you call me dear?"
Her gaze fell towards the ground as her eyes filled with unshed tears; he yanked at her hair forcing her to face him.
"Look at me damn it! It's my attention you wanted, right?! Am I right?!"
Lavender silk hair bobbed up and down as she attempted to smile, "I missed you," She wheezed out of breath.
"Well I certainly didn't miss you, it's my first day back in 2 years and you can't even let me have some peace and quiet!" He screeched venomously as the back of his hand greeted the side of his wife's face.
The sheer magnitude of the contact left Cordelia a mess on the floor her check a painful scorching red yet her tears didn't fall.
"At least you touched me."
He rolled his dead eyes and turned on his heel ready to leave and spend time with Beatrix.
Ayato's blood was boiling his teeth were long and sharp the words on his tongue equally so..."Turn around and apologize to your first wife you heartless piece of trash!" The red headed boy screamed as his body was engulfed by flame's.
He ran towards his father who had a rather amused smirk upon his lips and raised a bloody thorn covered fist, "You should never lay your hands on a woman or anyone you love!"
Young Ayato's body began glowing brightly as he growled, "Don't hurt mommy!"
The smirk fell from the elder vampire's face.
When did he began to wield such power? He's not even 10 years old yet! He's hardly even 7! Let's see if he can really take his old man down...
Before Ayato could make contact he felt a chill up his spine, his limbs were being held back by something, he stuck midair and couldn't move.
All of a sudden Ayato was slammed to the ground; he heard is spine crack and his heart shattered as his mother slapped him even harder than his father had slapped her. "Respect your father." She ordered with words of acid.
It was then Ayato started felt tears streaming down his face.
He was crying.
No, he was sobbing.
No, actually a part of him was dying.
Look what good showing emotions did for me father was right if you plan to be strong there's no room for petty emotions like guilt, remorse, or love.
He could feel his anger still burning strongly within him but now it had hardened into hatred for authority, for his weakness, and for his mother.
Ayato arose, "If you value your life woman, you'd be wise to never repeat those actions again."
Karl's interest was piqued for he could see something within his son had changed, be it for better or for worse, he knew not. As he was about to leave he pat his son on the head, giving him a fatherly smile, "Better luck next time on the punch, eh sport?"
The red head glared daggers at him as he struggle his father off as his the heat from his skin burned Karl's hand.
Cordelia seethed with steam coming out her ears, "Don't disrespect your father!" She raise her hand once again ready to strike.
Unluckily for her Karl's ice cold hand got in the way, "Leave the boy be." He commanded.
Cordelia snatched her hand back glared at Karl and dragged Ayato with her, "I will raise my son as I choose to, Dearest."
The purple haired woman threw he son against a stone bench in the garden in front of a lake.
"How could you embarrass me like that Ayato?! Have you forgotten your manners."
The boy crossed his arms silent and deadly but his flames dissipated.
"Don't you have respect for me? Don't you love me?"
Ayato cackled, "I did once but it appears as though that man never did."
She gasped, "How dare you?! He is your father not 'that man'!"
The red head shrugged.
"Don't you care about being the best? How do you expect him to love me if you start misbehaving?! You're my one shot at being the apple of his eye again!"
Something in Ayato snapped as he shouted, "What if I don't wanna be number one, what if I'm tired of being told what to do, how to live, who to be?!"
Cordelia released a chilling laugh as she approached her son whispering at first but eventually shouting into his ear, "Then you're no son of mine and you'll never be loved, after all nobody love's a loser. In fact, you are a complete abomination and a waste of time any female who'd take an interest in you must have a future as bleak as yours." She ended with a scoff.
Ayato's body began to shake, and against his will he could feel himself crying, "She doesn't mean it, she doesn't mean it, she doesn't mean it!"
"Aww my poor baby crying again like the weakling you are? Let mommy help you with that."
At this point Ayato's body was burning again on the inside and outside his wounds and spine had already healed but Cordelia manipulated darkness with her mind, an especially rare ability, and tossed him in the water knowing full well that her least favorite son cannot swim.
A massive cloud of steam was produced as Ayato's flaming hot body made the water around him evaporate, but he couldn't breathe underwater for long due to his weakened and emotionally distraught state. The flames started to die as he lungs began to swallow water. His head was pounding, his vision was blurring, and his spirit was dying as he heard Cordelia's manic laughter from the bridge near the lake.
His mother's voice grew distant and faint the steam he had created was still thick he couldn't see but he heard a splash had she come to finish the job and kill him once and for all?
Next chapter (Preview):
He felt an arm wrap around his waist he could hardly move his head up but recognized those ocean blue eyes.
Soon after he was consumed by darkness.
The next day when nurses requested by Karl had been the second thing he seen upon waking up and the first was the concerned faces of his brothers, even Reiji was there but he turned his head away and stood back of the room.
Shu placed a hand on the red head's shoulder, "Aya-chan, are you okay?"
He shrugged him off, "Don't call me that!"
The blonde's steady gaze faltered he looked hurt; Ayato felt a pang of regret but ignored the feeling.
"Just leave me alone."
