As I got closer to my house I could see that the living room light was on, so that means they were waiting on me. I reluctantly opened the door and walked into hell. Both of my parents were sitting on the couch their arms folded, they looked furious. My father was the first one to speak "Care to explain why your late?" He said his voice sounding cold as ice, this makes me so mad, the reason I was late was because of him. So instead of answering his question, I asked one of my own. "Care to explain what a prospective bride is?" My parents eyes widened "Where on earth did you hear that from?" My mother asked "Answer my question first, mother." I said a cold tone in my voice. My mother smiled "A prospective bride is someone who is meant to be a bride. Nothing to do with you sweetheart." My father nodded with her, I went over and sat on a chair opposite to them. "Is that so.." I said sarcastically, why am I being so rude to them? Yhis isn't like me at all. My father sighed
"Honey why don't you go check on Aki?" My father told my mother and she left quietly. "What do you know?" He asked quietly, not wanting my mother or my little sister to hear. "So it is true.." I said quietly "So I am the prospective bride?" I asked dreading the answer
"Shit. Who told you?" He mumbled "S-so its true!? Why didn't you tell me!? There is no way in hell I will marry a vampire!" I yelled loudly, my father put his finger to his lips signaling me to be quieter. "You, won't be marrying anyone." My father said quietly "Huh? You just said that I'm the prospective bride.." What in the hell is he talking about? "I'm guessing you don't know the full story.." My father said more to himself then to me. "Then why don't you tell me the full story." I said quietly, my father shook is head and then stood up and walked out of the living room.
I got up and followed him "W-Wait!, you can't just walk off.. what do you mean that I won't be marrying anyone."
"Nothing, forget I mentioned it and go to your room." He said before closing his bedroom door in my face.
I stormed off to my room, what was he talking about? How does he know about all this stuff.
"Your house is even louder then mine.." I heard a voice as I walked into my room, it was still dark.. so I couldn't see anything, not this again..
"Shu? Is that you?..." I said with irritation, I said as I turned on the lights
"Hey.." He said lazily, I sighed
"Shu.. Can you get out of my room..How did you even know where I lived?" I asked him
"I followed you." He said with his eyes closed, That's not creepy at all now is it.
"Well, can you just get out I'm not in the mood." I laid back on my bed trying to avoid him, because he was also laying in my bed.
"Thought you might want to know about being a prospective bride, since your father won't tell you.."
"W-wait, you know something? Please tell me." Shu sighed
"The prospective bride.. is.. as..your.. mother told you is, the bride to be." He was listening?
"It also means that you are "Eve's" vessel."
"Eve? Vessel?" I didn't understand any of this
"I don't understand all of this my self all I know is you are Eve's vessel on your 18th birthday your body will be taken over by 'Eve's soul." Shu said calmly
"H-How did this all happen?" Shu shrugged
"That's all I know, if you want to know more ask Reiji.. Goodnight." Shu closed his eyes and turned over pulling the covers up
"Hey, you can't sleep here!" I yelled and tried to pull him out of my bed, this is ridiculous, I don't even know how I got involved with these kind of people... I just want to have normal life like any other 17 year old girl.
"Just calm down I'll behave.. I just want to sleep... here tonight.." Shu says sleepily
"Yea but, if you sleep here where do I sleep?"
"On the floor." He said as he went back to sleep
"O-On the floor!?, but this is my room and my bed!" I tried again to pull him out, Shu grabbed my hand and pulled onto the bed next him and held me close.
"Then you can just sleep right here." Shu says holding me so tight that I can't move, gosh this guy..
"There is no way in hell.." I complained trying to break free
"Well goodnight... Try not to struggle to much or you will wear yourself out." He's mocking me! Why do I always have to deal with him?
I eventually wore myself out and fell asleep, in his arms. When I woke up Shu was gone,
"Thank God..I will not let that happen again.. I should be more careful.. next time it could be Laito.. that probably be the worst..
I checked in the mirror and saw that those two bite marks from Laito had disappeared, this must have something to do with being the prospective bride, something I still don't completely understand all of this. As I walked down the stairs, I realized I don't even want to see my father right now.. I ran down the stairs and was headed out the door when my father called me
"Aika, stay away from the people who told you about being prospective bride.. do you understand?" I shrugged,
"Why should I listen to you."
"Aika!, you don't understand.. I'm trying to protect you. The closer you get to those people the closer the awakening gets.." He said, I could tell he was worried about me, but I didn't care.. I was going to find out how all this shit got started, even if it kills me.
