Hey, TheHeartlessNukia here!
So here we go with Eva's story, hopefully I will be able to complete this faniction time because I had to discontinue it in 2013 for reasons. So I'll be taking my time with this fanficiton while I'm writing my Attack on Titan fanfic along side it. If you don't like my fanfictions then just don't read them, bad reviews kill my creativity.
I'll be going by the anime with Beyond Birthday's death date which will be on the 21st of January 2007.
This fanfiction is a follow on from Beyond This Love/The Wammy House Memories.
I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Chapter 3!
The girl with no eyeballs as visited me each night since we came to England, I can't sleep properly at night anymore because of her. I have not told my Mummy about her, she would just blame my Uncle A and tell him off some more because she would be thinking he as been telling me more scary stories before my bedtime. I don't want her to tell him off anymore, it's not his fault the girl with no eyeballs visits me. Angelica had gone back to The Wammy House a day ago, she will be coming back the night before my Mummy get's married to have a girl's night in with us. But today I was spending the day with Blaze and Auntie Nonie at the orphanage while my Uncle A took my Mummy out to buy some wedding decorations for the cottage, they promised me that they would be back by 4pm.
I waved them off with Blaze and Nonie, we then went for a walk around the grounds of The Wammy House. It was very big with many tall trees and pretty winter flowers, there was even a cemetery where they buried people from the orphanage when it was there time to go to heaven. Blaze wanted to visit the cemetery because he said he wanted to go ghost hunting, but his Mummy told him no with a shake of her head. She said none of us were allowed to go in there until we were teenagers, but she said we could go and have a walk in the woods if we wanted. She said she would show us all of the old places she use to hangout with her Brother and my Mummy, but she wanted to go to get a flask of hot tea for us to take with us before we went to visit the woods.
Me and Blaze waited for her on the main staircase in the entrance hallway, it was a very old hallway with one big colourful glass window on the very top of the staircase. Blaze told me that Watari was the owner of the building and one day he would be a student here without adult supervision, he told me he would be his own boss then. I asked him if I could be a student here too, but he told me you had to be really smart and do many test before you were allowed to be a student here like his Uncle Aiden. I frowned to myself when he told me you had to be really smart to be a student here, maybe if I did loads of homework like Angelica I would be able to come here and be with my friends when I got bigger.
" Eva, do you want to go ghost hunting in that little room under the stairs?" He asked.
"No, there maybe ghosts in there..." I replied.
" But you like ghosts, please Eva..." He said while he took a lollipop from his hoody pocket and then held it towards me. " I will give you lollipops, I pay you in candy..."
" No, not today..." I sighed.
" Why not?" He asked.
" Because she maybe in there, I don't like her..." I replied.
" Who?" He asked.
" The girl with no eyeballs, she comes to me at bedtime and she will not go away..." I replied as I carefully slid down three of the staircase's steps on my bottom. " She wants me to find her Mummy, but I don't know her Mummy's name. I want her to go away because I am sleepy sometimes, but no one believes me and my Mummy thinks I have been watching scary movies with Uncle A again..."
" Can I see her?" He asked.
" No, she only talks to me..." I replied while I looked at him over my shoulder. " No one can see her, just me..."
" That's no fair, I want to see her too!" He said.
I watched as Blaze got up from the step he had been sitting on, he slowly walked down the staircase and I quickly followed after him. He told me he was going to look underneath the staircase if I liked it or not, I gave him a nod of my head and stop by the staircase's banister as he walked towards the door underneath the staircase. He had to stand on his tiptoes though to open the door, he slowly opened it and then walked through the door's doorway. He yelled for me to come and see what was in the room underneath the staircase, I told him no as he looked at me from around the door frame.
Blaze called me a chicken with a smirk and disappeared back into the room underneath the staircase, I'm no chicken I thought to myself as I hurried over to the doorway. I looked into the room and watched Blaze messing in some boxes, he told me there was old smelly clothes in them. I looked over my shoulder when I heard someone clear their throat, it was my Auntie Nonie. Blaze quickly ran from the room underneath the staircase when he hear his Mummy's voice, he said hello to her as she walked past me. She then placed her bag down on the floor and took a look inside of the room, she told us it was the store room for old unused clothes.
" And what else have you pair been up to while I was gone?" She asked.
" Nothing naughty, I promise..." Replied Blaze.
" Are you sure?" She asked while she closed the door underneath the staircase. " It looks like you're both being nosy to me, you shouldn't really mess around in room's that say no entry on the door. It means you're breaking the rules of the orphanage, you're both lucky I'm not Mr Ruvie or you would both be in detention for the week if you were students studying here..."
" I'm not scare of him!" Said Blaze.
" Of course you're not, you're my brave little boy after all..." She smiled as she crouched down in front of us. " How about you, Eva? Are you scared of Mr Ruvie?"
" I don't even know who he is..." I replied.
" That's probably a good thing, I wish I didn't know who he was either..." She laughed with smile. " I hope you both like sweet tea, that's what May made for you pair in my flash. I on the other hand have extra sweet coffee, but that's just for the grown ups or rebellious teenagers..."
" Coffee tastes like mud, I don't like it..." Said Blaze.
" I'm glad you hate coffee, it's terrible for your health and it makes you jumpy if you drink too much of the stuff..." She smiled while she ruffled up Blaze's hair. " Don't start drinking it or you'll turn out like you Dad, he needs to change his coffee to decaf so he can sleep at night. He works way too much if you ask me, it wouldn't kill him to spend an evening with you sometimes like a proper Father. But I don't think it will happen until he returns back from Japan, we'll give him a phone call later on before our bedtime..."
" Cool!" Smiled Blaze.
" Auntie Nonie, do you think ghosts are real?" I asked.
" Wow Eva, you just changed the subject quickly..." She said as she stood up and picked her bag up from the floor. " But to answer your question I do believe that ghosts exist, I think there is more to this world than we will ever know. Supernatural phenomena is an interest of mine, I've read many books on the subject and I do believe I've seen at least one ghost in my life time..."
" I see a girl with no eyeballs, she wants her Mummy..." I sighed and looked up at her. " She tells me that the bad man took her eyes, he was mean to her..."
" Oh I see, that's quite interesting..." She quietly said while she placed her hand on the top of my head. " We can talk later if you want about this girl, then we can have quiet word with your Uncle Aiden and your Mum. I may have something in my room that will take your mind of it, I'll get it for you when we've returned from our walk..."
" Okay..." I nodded.
After our walk we returned back to The Wammy House, it had started raining when we got to the woods. So we had to shelter underneath a tree for a while until it stopped, but we ended up getting wet and Blaze sat in some mud. He thought it was funny though, but Auntie Nonie told him not to sit on anything until he was in the bathroom in their attic room. It was a long walk to their room, it was on the very top floor of the building. We had to walk up a hundreds of steps and when we got to the room we had to take our shoes off at the door because they were muddy.
I liked my Auntie Nonie's attic room, it was very big and it had a kitchen on one side of the room with a fridge full of food. There was also a colourful glass window on the wall above my Auntie's double bed and Blaze had his own bedroom, he once told me Watari had made his bedroom especially for him when he was a baby. He also told me one day this attic room would be his and that he would let me visit him if I brought him my cookies, but I told him no because they would be my cookies.
I took my coat off and hung on a little coat peg near the door, I then ran across the room and sat down on the sofa. Auntie Nonie took Blaze to the bathroom, she said he would need a bath because the mud had soaked through his trouser. I told her okay with a nod, she then said I could watch television while she sorted out Blaze's bath. I switched the television on and began to watch some show about tigers, but it wasn't long until my Auntie returned to the living room.
Nonie told me that Blaze was in the bathtub while she rummaged through her washing basket, she then took a red hoody from the basket and told me that I could borrow it until her Brother picked me up. She walked over to me and crouched in front of me, she said that I would catch a cold if I didn't wrap up warm. I gave her a nod of my head and held my hands above my head while she pulled her hoody over my head, it was too big for me though.
" The colour red really suits you, maybe I should let you borrow my hoody until the wedding day..." She said with a smile as she zipped the hoody up for me. " It's a little bit big on you though, you need to drink more milk so your bones will grow..."
" I drink much milk Auntie Nonie, but Uncle A says I'm a midget gem..." I giggled.
" He's right, you're little and sweet like a candy..." She smiled and took my hair bobble from my hair. " So Eva, who is this girl with no eyeballs you were telling me about in the hallway this morning? Have you been watching scary movies again with your Uncle Aiden?"
" No ghost movies, not today..." I replied.
" I see, but you must have been watching scary movies to see disturbing things..." She sighed with a smile. " But I think it's got something to do with your eyes, they're special eyes you know just like mine..."
" You have brown eyes like Blaze, my eyes are blue..." I said.
" I know sweetie, but that's not what I meant..." She said while she cupped my right cheek with her hand and ran her thumb underneath my eye. " I think you're seeing supernatural beings, they sometimes can be seen if you've got a special gift. Can I ask if you see numbers above people's heads?"
" I see butterflies, not numbers..." I replied.
" That's a sweet way of putting it, but I'm guess your eyes are still developing. My eyes didn't kick in until I turned 13 years old, but when that time comes I'll be here for you..." She said in a gently tone as she removed her hand from my cheek. " But I don't want you worry about a thing until then, I'm going to keep you safe from the ghosts and have a quiet word with my Brother about the eyeless girl..."
" Will Uncle A find her Mummy?" I asked.
" I bet he could if he put his mind to it, he's not as daft as he looks..." She replied with laugh. " But for now I've got something for you, it's very old and precious to me..."
" What is it?" I asked.
" You'll see, it's a big surprise..." She replied.
I watched as she sat down on the sofa next to me, she then took something out of her hoody pocket and showed me a pretty red beaded bracelet. It had a silver coin hanging from it's beaded chain with a picture of an angel on it, she told me it was called a holy ghost charm bracelet. She went onto tell me it once belonged to her Grandmother who then pasted it down to her Mom, she said it was very old like Watari and Mr Ruvie which I thought was funny.
" This is for you, I'm going to let you keep it safe for me. I was always told it would protect me when I felt vulnerable, so now it's your turn to be guarded by the holy ghost..." She said while she slipped the bracelet around my right wrist. " I don't need it anymore because I know I don't have to fear anything in this world, but it will protect you until you're ready to give it to someone else..."
" Thank you Auntie Nonie, I like it..." I said.
" You're welcome sweetie, I'll tell your Mum that I gave it to you when she collects you this evening in case she thinks you've stolen it from the orphanage..." She said as she brushed my hair down with her hand. " Would you like some hot milk before I make us some lunch? I'm afraid to say I'm not the worlds greats cook, so all I can offer you is chopped vegetables and ham sandwiches..."
" Unlce A can't cook either, he burns toast..." I giggled.
" I know that already, it must come from Tayler bloodline..." She smirked.
" Can I have hot milk now?" I asked.
" Sure, I'll go and do it after I've got Blaze out of the bathtub..." She replied.
" Okay..." I said.
" Now I would like you sit there while I get Blaze from the bathroom, he should be out of the bathtub by now and getting dressed. My little boy likes 3 minute baths for some strange reason, I've got no idea where he gets that from because I enjoy long baths..." She said while she got up from the sofa. " Then I'll let you both watch television until lunch is ready, but no horror movies. I know what you and Blaze are like when you're in charge of the television remote, just stick to the cartoon channel or the wildlife documentaries until your teenagers..."
" Okay, I promise..." I said.
" Good girl, now don't move..." She smiled.
" Okay, I will try to be still..." I giggled.
I watched my Auntie Nonie walk over to the bathroom's door and she knock on it, I then heard Blaze telling her not to come in yet because he was wrapping a towel around himself. She told him ready or not as she opened the door, she then walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I laugh when I heard Blaze scream like a girl from the bathroom, I then heard Nonie telling him he was born naked and that she had seen his bare bottom many times before since he was born. I turned my attention to the bracelet on my wrist with chuckle, I touched the red beads with my finger tips and waited for them to come out of the bathroom.
