Chapter 15
Information About My Father
I went to retire for the evening until I heard a loud scream coming from the living room…
"Help! HELP!" A boy's voice cried out…
"Wait, that sounds like Kira!" I gasped and immediately went into the living room to see my brother on the ground while Azusa and Kou are hovering over him with smiles on their faces.
"You shouldn't have come here and now you shall die!" Kou chanted.
"No, trespassers allowed," Azusa, stated in a low mumble.
"Stop! That's my brother!" I ran in front of Kira and spread my arms to shield him.
"They do look alike," Azusa commented.
"I don't care… He needs to die for trespassing!" Kou spat.
"Leave him be," Yuma ordered in a grunt as he joined us in the living room.
"Why should we?" Kou narrowed his eyes at Yuma.
"Listen to him," Ruki sighed while he appeared before us with his back against the doorframe.
"Sister, your father…" Kira's voice trembled.
I went on my knees to be eye-leveled with him. I miss him so much and I finally get to see him yet he looks like he has to tell me something important but what?
"Your father is a full-blooded vampire," Kira said in a low voice.
"What?!" I freaked.
"His name is Karlheinz Sakamaki and he…"
Kou interrupted my brother. "Wait, Karl is Eve's father?!"
I studied all four Mukami brothers and everyone's eyes are widening besides Ruki… Is Ruki the one who knew this information already?
"Ruki did you know about this?" Yuma snapped.
"Indeed I do. Karl told me to keep it secret, though but I'm sure it's a good time for her to know the truth," Ruki said sternly.
I felt my heart pounding violently and my palms going sweaty. There's no way that a vampire is my father! How could this happen? Is that why my grandmother wouldn't tell Kira and me about our fathers? But, wait, I understand her not telling us about my father, but what about Kira's?
"Karl told me that he was your father and he wants you to be with a vampire, Skylar. He told us to kidnap you and take you here," Ruki explained.
"Where is my father now?!" I slowly stood up from the ground as I shouted out.
"He will see you when the time is right," Ruki simply answered.
"And the Adam and Eve plan?" I choked out. My tears are forming in my eyes…
"I'm not allowed to tell you yet," Ruki mumbled.
"Sister…" Kira got up off the ground and I immediately threw myself on him and cried into his chest.
That's why Subaru kept staring at me; he sensed I'm a vampire, which means I'm related to the Sakamaki brothers…
"Is my father the Sakamaki's father or uncle?" I sobbed out.
"Their father," Ruki answered.
My brother held me tight and whispered in my ear. "I want you to come home…"
"I can't," I whispered back.
I cannot leave this mansion now. I finally will meet my father soon even though I do not like the fact that I'm a vampire but I need to find out more information on him and my mother as well.
*~*~*~*~Adam & Eve~*~*~*~*
It took some convincing to have my brother stay for a couple more hours but it worked. We are now in the garden with Yuma and my brother is having a hard time trying to explain to me about our parents and their pasts.
"Okay, so my father left to go to America because our mother broke his heart and left him for Karl…" Kira's voice trailed.
"I see," I whispered.
"And I found this all out from our grandmother… She's worried about you because she doesn't want you to be with a vampire," Kira added.
I looked at Yuma as he is gazing at the ground. I wouldn't mind being with a vampire. Yuma really has grown on me…
"I think I'm into a vampire, though." I blushed.
"What?! Who!?" Kira gasped.
"Um…" I laughed nervously.
"Is it this guy?" Kira asked, pointing at Yuma.
Yuma's eyes widened and he too is blushing. I rubbed the back of my hair while I'm slowly nodding.
"Geez, I can't believe you got a boyfriend! Things have changed…" Kira sighed.
He's TECHNICALLY not my boyfriend…
"There's one thing I don't get, though…" I ponder.
"What?" Kira asked.
"Why don't I have fangs and stuff? Like, I don't look like a vampire. I look like you!" I pointed out.
"Well, our grandmother said you got lucky and only have the blood of a vampire's but that's it. Karl wanted to change it since he's a doctor and all but our mother wouldn't allow it," Kira explained.
"Wow, really? Now we just need to figure out how our mother died…" I said in determination.
"Karl killed her," Kira muttered.
"What?! He wouldn't?! How could he!?" I cried out. I was just processing the fact that my father is a full-blooded vampire and that I possess vampire's blood but now Kira is going to drop this fact on me too?!
"Our mother loved him but she wouldn't do what he wanted. He wanted me dead and he wanted to operate on you so you would look and have the powers of a vampire. Our mother refused, of course, but then he tried to talk our mother into having full custody of you so you would grow up and end up with a vampire but again, our mother refused. He got mad one night and ended up killing her by stabbing her multiple of times with a sword. There was no evidence against Karl and he got away with her murder. He made it as if a random guy did it to her," Kira frowned.
My knees almost gave out but Yuma hurried and wrapped his arms around me as I cried out. How could someone do that to our mother?! She was trying to protect us but it cost her, her own life!
"Skylar," Yuma whispered my name as he ran his fingers through my hair.
"I'm sorry, Skylar. Grandmother didn't want me to tell you but you had the right to know…" Kira choked on his words as tears are streaming down his face.
"I'll never forgive him… I hate him!" I shouted.
He will pay for this!
*~*~*~*~Adam & Eve~*~*~*~*
Kira left me with this depressing news. I couldn't stop crying and my stomach kept forming into knots. I am in my room now with Yuma lying beside me. He is soothing me and I should be happy yet I couldn't because my father killed my mother…
"I hate him," I whispered.
Yuma didn't say anything, but instead, he kissed my forehead sweetly.
"I'm here for you," he mumbled.
Silence filled the room as my mind is racing about this whole situation. How could a regular night turn out to be this hectic?
"Yuma?"
"Yes?"
I hesitated before asking my question. "If I don't go along with the Adam and Eve plan, will you still be by my side?"
Yuma studied me and took a deep breath. "Yes."
"Really?"
"We can't let the others know… This is between us," Yuma said coldly.
I slowly nodded. "Right…"
I nuzzled into Yuma and he held onto me for dear life. I took in his scent, thinking on a plan to get out of this situation I'm in. I refuse to do whatever my father wants me to do!
