Standing up from the dark floor, I looked around me frantically. 'Where am I?! Where's Ayato?!'
"Ayato?...Ayato?!"
Miss Amaya, a voice behind me spoke.
I turned around to see a..wolf familiar?
"Wh-who are you?! Where am I?! Where's Aya-"
I have been instructed to tell you that Lord Ayato is not of your concern as of now, and that Lord Carla is expecting to meet with you within a few hours, Until then..
A paradox-like reality shaped itself into a very elegant and classy room...
(h, t, t, p, s : / / mag nit . me / wp-content / uploads / 2018 / 04 / luxury-bedroom-ideas-luxury-bedroom-ideas-luxury-guest-bedroom-ideas . jpg)
You must take a bath and put on the clothing he's left you. Do not leave this room until Lord Carla says so; I have been instructed to keep watch of anyone, even Lord Shin, outside your door. If you have any questions, let me know.
With that being..telepathically said, he disappeared.
I fell to the floor, letting quiet sobs out...
'I can't..do th-is anymore...She's taken so much control..so much control that I think―no! I know! I know I'm a danger to everyone..even myself. I gotta...I gotta keep myself isolated!'
Getting off my knees, I walked to a mirror to see my body covered in-..
Right then and there, I threw up blood.
My other half appeared in the mirror...
"Oh, my~. Does your appearance disgust you that much~, dear Miyami? Or should we call you Amaya~? Well, considering how much she despises us, we are "strangers" to her, so we should call her Amaya."
"Sh-shut up.." I mumbled weakly.
"What was that? Did you say som-"
"SHUT UP!" I screamed and broke the mirror by punching it.
Letting small sobs out, it wasn't because when I pulled my fist away, there was blood spilling from it, it was because...
I was getting tired.
I gripped the sides of the dresser, letting the wood cut into my fingertips.
"Weeks and weeks! Weak and weak! I'm so damn tired that I'm sick to my stomach! I'm losing my mind..."
Miss Amaya, are you alright?
I looked at the door; deciding not to respond. I teleport behind the way the door swings open, waiting for the familiar to open it.
When he did, and walked in enough to where he wasn't behind the door. I pounced on him, grabbing him by the neck and quickly snapping it.
Getting up, I shuffled to the restroom, but not before grabbing the dress off the bed...
~Small Time Skip~
Once I had taken a bath, to which I internally panicked at the bloody water due to the blood on my body that I hadn't realized was there, I slipped on the gothic dress and tried to find an exit out the castle.
"Who's blood...was that anyway? I don't..I don't recall..I don't recall anything after they left for school...nor what happened after Kou took me back..."
Turning to..another large corridor, I saw a crowd of four...
"Vampires.." I muttered to myself as a shiver went up my back.
I was uncomfortable at the site of other vampires. You see, when I was young, even then, I was uncomfortable because I knew they all wanted me to either marry them or be their friend...
All because of the false title of being Tougo Sakamaki's beloved daughter: Princess Miyami.
Shu or Reiji would keep the crowd away from getting too close...Ayato, Kanato, and Laito would keep me busy with conversation so I wouldn't have to face them much...
Gaining a bit of confidence, I power walked from behind the corner and pass them as fast as I could without taking a glance at them.
'Almost the-'
"Lady Amaya," said a male.
I stopped, turning my head to right slightly, but not enough for me to make eye contact nor to see my face.
"Yes?"
"We are joyous that you've returned to the Demon World, no longer in the pesky hands of that Karlheinz," spoke a female noble.
"Whom may you all be?" I questioned.
"We are from-"
"It's not the fact of where you are from or what your name is. I said "whom". I refer to who you belong to, and that answer should be obvious."
"Lady..Amaya..?" the other male questioned.
"You happen to be here at the wrong place and the wrong time. But..since it seems God has given me food so I can give in to my hunger. Whom you belong to..."
...she licked her lips...
"..is me~."
-Reiji's P.O.V-
I tapped my foot on the floor in anticipation.
"Are you serious?!" Kanato yelled.
"Why would I be lying, Hysteric?!" Ayato yelled back.
"WITH THAT DAMN NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY, I WOULD EXPECT YOU TO PLAY AROUND! But...since it's Miyami..." Kanato finally calmed down.
"Has anyone not realized that scent? Or are you all just too either angry and or anxious?" Laito questioned.
"What scent?" the deadbeat asked.
"Well, I guess it's a little unrecognizable," Laito said again as he glanced to Ayato. "Take a moment...and you can smell her all over him."
My foot stopped tapping and I opened my eyes to where Ayato is sitting.
"The hell did you to her, huh?!" Subaru yelled, punching..*sigh*...another wall.
"She's the one that came at me! So shut that down right now!"
"Oh, so you just went along with it like it was normal?" Laito asked, slightly showing his real attitude.
"And you wouldn't?" Ayato shot back at him, glaring at him.
Laito remained quiet.
"That's what I thought."
"Enough," I finally spoke. "What's important is how we handle the situation. You said Miyami was pulled into another dimension earlier. Is there anything else you noticed?"
Ayato's glare moved from Laito to me, "I..I fell asleep for a couple hours after you guys left."
Seeing Subaru about to say something, I held my left hand up at him to which he understood, and let Ayato continue.
"I was gonna go check up on her after I realized that I had to watch her, but she came to me. Though I couldn't see her because she was standing outside my room, she sounded like the normal Miyami..I knew better. That thing inside her can manipulate her voice. When I opened the door, she was just turning around the hall so I went after her. She was hiding behind a pedestal, apologizing, like a scared child or something.."
"And where did the blood come from? It's faint since you cleaned it up before we came back, but I can tell it's not yours or Miyami's," I questioned.
"I'm not sure. I can only guess she was with someone earlier and that didn't end well for them," Ayato responded.
"You aren't wrong," the deadbeat suddenly spoke.
I looked to him and narrowed my eyes, "What do you mean?"
"There's a..carcass outside in the woods near the garden. It's unidentifiable."
"Damn, who knew Miya-chan could be such a savage.." Laito spoke.
"If we don't find her, she's going to keep-...! The Demon World, we need to go," the deadbeat spoke quickly and disappeared.
"Wai—well, damn, he couldn't wait?!" Subaru yelled angrily and disappeared as well.
I looked at the triplets and nodded, "If the deadbeat reacts like that, then there is something wrong. Let's go."
~Tiny Time Skip~
I licked the red on my right hand's fingers, letting the shiny object twirl in the other.
"*Sigh* First, a snack. Second, a appetizer. Now..."
I got to the last step of the castle, then hopped off.
"Dinner is approaching~."
I placed the object between my teeth, then jumped off the last step, turning into a wolf, running as fast as I could to the gates up ahead.
As I ran, I felt other presences approaching from different angles.
With a grimace, I shut all possible entrances except for the one I was heading to.
Seeing a few figures in the distance, I shifted back into my original form, letting tears slip my eyes as I held the knife at my neck with both hands, and sobbing as I proceeded forward.
'Luckily, the blood helps me look like the victim...'
"S-someone..help me!" I yelled.
"Miyami!" I heard Ayato call as he ran faster than the others.
When I heard him closing in, I took a few steps back, stumbling a bit.
"Don't come near me!" I yelled, and he stopped in his footsteps. "Sh-sh-she said if..if one of you were to-to..-to—*sob*.."
"We won't allow anything to happen to you. Just put the knife do-" I cut off Laito.
(Pun not intended, peeps. XD)
"She's got control of m-y body! I can't take it back! I'm not strong enough!"
"She's having a breakdown. We need to calm her down," I heard Kanato say.
'...*Smirk* Yes..comfort your sister..and I'll let my guard down~.'
"Miyami..I'm gonna need you to calm down. You're strong enough, I know you are," Ayato said in a soothing voice as he eased up to me. "If you weren't, you would've long given up on us. I've never known for you to give up."
I flinched as he got closer, "A-Ayato, plea-"
He held his hands out, "It'll be alright. Just let..me in, Miyami. I won't hurt you, I won't allow her to hurt you. Just let me in..."
I let him get closer to me as I stifled my son's, but not my tears.
Once he was near, he grabbed the knife with his right hand and pulled me close to him by my waist with the other.
I fell on my knees, as well as he, letting out my sobs of suffering out.
Ayato dropped the knife on the ground, softly rubbing my back with his right hand. I hugged him around his neck, crying out his name.
"Ayato! Ay-ato..I-I'm s-o sorry...s-sorry, Ayato.."
"It's alright, Miyami. You're gonna be okay," he comforted me.
"..Ayato...Ayato...Ayato~...I really am sorry, Ayato~.." I whispered in his ear.
Before he could push away from me after I saw the shock on his face, I picked up the knife and stabbed him in the heart.
Subaru was the one to move quickest towards us, but I put my right hand forward and pass Ayato's shoulder only to close it, as the barrier did.
"I asked him a favor, and he must fulfill it."
With that said and a few hysterical giggles, we disintegrated into the ground.
(Well, it took some time to get this written due to writing in parts on two different laptops and my cellphone, but it came together—literally! Btw, you're lucky if you're reading this because I have not mentioned this elsewhere in my stories, but...I'm developing a My Hero Academia story! I won't reveal anything—not that I can because it's in development—but that it's a short psychological story!)
