Chapter 11: To know or Not
"Me?" she grimaced "I'm a human, you're kidding"
The man let out a low menacing laugh "Kidding?"
"He's definitely not kidding, little bitch" Laito giggled "because that would be weird. I mean who on this rotten world would have the name 'kidding'. That's hilarious"
Reiji glared at his younger brother "Seriously, Laito-" his attempt of reprimanding his younger brother was cut off
"Are you looking down on us, vampires?" the one wearing an eye patch intervened "We're here not to talk, but to take what's ours"
"What's yours?" Ayato repeated mockingly "You can take Subaru with you, we don't mind"
The mentioned man looked at his brother coldly "Feel free to take that red haired self-centered moron with you, we're sick with his idiocrecy"
"We-"
"No, feel free to take them all" Shu with his usual monotonous tone said "Especially the triplets. They're annoying, loud, and troublesome"
"Please, if you'll take one of us" Reiji smirked "We gladly offer that apathetic useless blonde"
Now our heroine stood there in silence, wondering why she's in this situation, confused about why this is all happening, crazed about thinking of a way to escape this situation.
If it weren't because of her curiosity, she would had ran away, but curiosity always wins.
What's the awakening?
What's the founders bloodline?
Who's Evette?
Who's Eve?
Who are they?
What connection do we have?
"We're not here for you" the man wearing an eye patch was obviously irritated by their insensitivity "We're here for that woman"
"For little bitch~" the vampire snickered "What d-"
"Shut up Laito" Yui glared at him, and surprisingly he obeyed "By the way, what are your names?"
The white haired man cleared his throat before answering "I'm Carla Tsukinami, the first blood king, from the founders bloodline" he answered not breaking eye contact with the human "This is my brother Shin Tsukinami"
Finally she can address her with their names, not as the white haired man or the man wearing an eye patch. It sounds silly and weird, albeit nothing is normal.
"I-I see" she cupped her cheeks in comprehension "What's the founders bloodline, what's the first blood king, who's Eve, what do you mean as me being the lone survivor of your race?"
The man called Shin looked at her coldly "You're pathetic"
"If you'll come with us, your questions will be answered" Carla offered his hand "Come"
The human stared at him. She opened her mouth, but then closed it. She felt like her voice was taken away.
"You're not falling for their trap, are you human?" Ritcher looked at her in disgust "Even if you would, I'll take you by force"
There's Ritcher who only makes things more confusing. What role does he plays in her life anyways, what does he have to do with all of this, why is he even here?
"As if I'd let you, that klutz only belongs to Teddy"
Questions which will only be answered if she goes with them ran around her mind, but her body won't move. Something is stopping her.
"Flat-chest is yours truly's"
Something says she should stay. Something says she shouldn't go.
"That troublesome woman's rants can be my lullaby, I can't survive a day without it" Shu sighed "I can't"
She wants to stay, she doesn't want to go. If going means hearing the answers, she'd rather not.
"I don't mind sharing, but I learned how to be selfish" Laito winked "All because of you, little bitch"
It wasn't something that's stopping her, she wants to stay. If knowing means leaving them, then she'd rather not know anything.
"That scatterbrained dependant human can't last a day with you, without me" -Subaru
The reason why she's hesitating to open that letter, is them. There's no need to ask as long as she gets to stay with them.
"You can't" Reiji fixed his glasses "Why, because only I can handle her idiocrecy and stupidity"
That's a little harsh, but it's sweet. Despite the weird endearments they gave her, they're saying that she shouldn't go. She shouldn't, but despite herself stopping herself she should go. She should.
She can't stay. Their contract is ending soon. It'll be painful, but she needs to endure it. In this situation she's given choices, but she doesn't have the right to choose. Her fate was sealed.
"Sorry, everyone" she smiled, but her eyes aren't, liquids that's called tears are rolling down her rosy pink cheeks "I really want to stay, but I need to know"
She finally found the courage to stood up from where she's sitting, and walked slowly towards the man named Carla.
Ritcher mumbled something, trying to protest. She reached out to the white haired man's hand, still hesitating. Within a swift move she's been carried bridal-style by the man.
"As if I'd let you go without a fight"
Sweet words passed through her ears, but she can no longer decipher whose lips does are from.
They're out of the mansion before she knew it. Slowly and painfully, the mansion faded, as they went further in the woods.
