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 :)
Chatper 16!
I had been sitting in my bedroom for over two hours now, I wasn't allowed to leave my bedroom unless I needed to use the bathroom. Watari had joined us not long after we had been sent to my bedroom, he had brought me a sandwich and a bottle of milk for Alyssa. I could hear people talking in the living room of our apartment, I didn't really recognize any of their voices though.
My Auntie Nonie left my bedroom now and again for a few minutes, she wouldn't tell me what was going on though. When I asked what was going on she would just give me a smile and tell me that everything was fine, she said she would take me for a sleepover in her apartment tonight when she had spoken with her Brother. She told me to start packing an overnight bag for now and not to forget to pack some clean clothes for tomorrow, she wanted to make sure we were ready to go when Watari came to collect us.
I told her okay and took my backpack from underneath my bed, I then grabbed my pajamas from underneath my pillow. I packed a few other of my belongings and zipped my bag up, I then went to lie down with Alyssa on my bed. She was still awake and staring at the ceiling, she was being more boring than ever. It wasn't long until we heard a knock on my bedroom's door, my Auntie Nonie opened the wide door and she was greeted by Watari.
They spoke quietly together outside of my bedroom, I couldn't hear what they were saying. Watari gave me a kind smile before he left, I was then told by my Auntie to get ready to go. I climbed down from my bed and put my backpack on while my Auntie picked Alyssa up from my bed. She told me to follow close behind her and not to wander too far, she mentioned something about my Uncle Akira being upset.
My Auntie opened my bedroom's door and Watari was waiting for us, he had Alyssa's baby bag with him. He took Alyssa from my Auntie's arms and carried her ahead of us, I was then picked up by Nonie. She told me not to worry about a thing, but I was worried about everything right now. I didn't know what was going on and I'm scared in case my Mummy is poorly in the hospital, I just want my Mummy I thought with sigh.
My Auntie Nonie told me to not to say anything to my Uncle, she told me he was still in the living room of the apartment with an ambulance man. I gave her a nod of my head and she carried me out of my bedroom, but when we got to the living room it was quiet. I saw my Uncle A sitting on the sofa with the ambulance man, he looked very sad and I think he had been crying. He didn't even look up at me when I was carried past him, he just sat there with his gaze firmly set on the floor and his hands cupped together.
We left my apartment and I was carried long the corridor, we then went up two flights of stairs. It wasn't long until we were standing outside of my Auntie's apartment, she placed me down on the floor and took a card key from jacket's her pocket. She then swiped it through a card lock and the door slide open, but I grabbed hold of the sleeve of her jacket and tugged at it. She quickly looked down at me and I tilted my head to one side, she looked sad like my Uncle A.
" Where is my Mummy?" I asked.
" I don't know sweetie, I'll find out for you when you're settled in my apartment..." She replied.
" Did she go to the hospital?" I asked.
" I'm not sure, but I promise I will find out for you went you're settled in my apartment..." She replied with a sigh and rested her hand on the top of my head. " I'll get you something to drink and you can watch television before your bedtime, I know Watari will be here very soon with Alyssa..."
" Where did Watari take Alyssa?" I asked.
" He took her downstairs to warm up her bottles, he won't be long..." She replied.
" But you have a kitchen in your apartment, why do that when he can use your kitchen..." I said while I looked through the opened doorway of her apartment. " Is it broken? Do you need a new one?"
" You ask to many questions, let's get you settled for the night..." She replied.
I sighed to myself and walked through the doorway of the apartment, I've never really been in my Auntie's apartment much. It wasn't like our apartment, it was very messy and she had drawing pads scattered across her coffee table. I took my backpack off and dropped it next to the coffee table, she then said I could watch some television in her bedroom after I had a wash. But she told me to remember to wash behind my ears and change my underwear before bed, she said it's what my Mummy would have wanted.
It wasn't long until I was in pajamas and sitting on my Auntie's bed, she had a television at the end of her bed on a wooden table. Her bedroom was different than mine, she had dark blue coloured walls and metal bars on the room's windows. She had a photograph of Blaze stuck on the wall next to her bed and an old looking telephone on her bedside cabinet. I covered myself up with some red blankets and waited for her, she had been in the kitchen for a very long time now.
Alyssa was asleep in her travel basket, she went straight to sleep after Watrai had given her some milk. I wasn't allowed to have the television on loud in case it woke her up though, she would cry loud which would keep us all awake for the night. It wasn't long until my Auntie brought me some seaweed and grilled shrimp flavoured Pringles, she told me that was all the snacks she in her kitchen right now. She sat down next to me on her bed and put her arm around me, she then sat with me until I fell asleep.
A day had past and I still had no idea where my Mummy had gone, my Auntie told me that my Uncle A would be visiting me today with Watari. She said he was going to speak with me about my Mummy, but she mentioned that the news he would be giving me wasn't very good. I asked her what she meant, but she said I should wait until my Uncle and Watari arrived at her apartment.
The day went on has normal, I got washed and dressed into some clean clothes. I had my breakfast and my lunch, I was then allowed to watch television with Alyssa. It wasn't long until we heard a knock on the apartment's door, my Auntie ran over to open it. She had a different locking system on her apartment's door, she had to use her key card to open and close it. I watched the door slide open, it was my Uncle A and Watari. They both walked into my Auntie's apartment and Watari switched the television off, he then told me that my Uncle Akira needed to speak with me. I gave him a nod of my head and got up from the floor, I then watched my Uncle sit down on the sofa in front of me.
My Auntie Nonie went to put Alyssa down for her afternoon nap in her bedroom, but she soon joined us and stood next to me. I stared at my Uncle, he looked very tried and his hair was a mess. He kept his gaze firmly set on the floor once again like he did in my apartment the day before yesterday, he was acting very strange. After a while he looked up at me from the floor, he gave me a slight smile and held his hands towards me. I hurried over to him and gave him a hug, but he didn't hug me back. I pulled myself away from him and looked up at him, he was looking at Watari.
" I can't do this, I don't want to break her heart..." He said.
" Be strong Akira, remember what Ryuzaki taught you long ago..." Watari said.
" Easier said than done, I don't know if I can tell her yet..." He said.
My Auntie Nonie sat down on the sofa next to my Uncle A, she placed her hand on his arm and told him that he had her full support. He sighed to himself and lifted me up from the floor, he then placed me down on his lap. He softy kissed my forehead and gave me a hug, he then spoke to me in a gentle tone. I couldn't hear what he was saying at first, but then I heard my Auntie telling him to stop mumbling. He told her that he was sorry while he released me from his hug, he then looked down at me and brushed my fringe away from my eyes.
" I've got to tell you something short stuff, it's not good news..." He softly said. " It's about your Mum, I don't know how I'm going tell you this..."
" Can we visit my Mummy at the hospital now?" I asked.
" It's not that easy sweetie, but listen to what your Uncle is telling you..." Said Nonie.
I stared at my Auntie for a moment, I then turned my gaze to Watari. He gave me a kind smile, I turned my gaze towards my Uncle and looked up at him, his face looked sad. I placed my hand over his hand and looked down at his hand when I felt it shaking beneath mine, I don't think my Uncle A is very well I thought. I turned my full attention back to him again and stared at him, something felt very wrong.
" Nonie is right, it's not easy at all..." He said with a slight shake in his voice. " Your Mum is not coming home, she's gone to visit her Great Aunt Thora in the sky. What I'm trying to say is that your Mum passed away, she's gone to live in sky with the stars..."
" Can I live there to?" I asked.
" I'm afraid not sweetheart, it doesn't work like that until you're very old..." He replied.
" But Mummy was not old, she was young like you..." I said.
" I know, I'm so sorry Eva..." He said has a quiet sob escaped his lips and he brought his hand to his mouth. " I couldn't save her, I shouldn't have let any of you come to Japan with me. It should have been me, this isn't fair..."
" Akira, it's not your fault..." Said Nonie while she placed her hand on his back and gently rubbed it. " Elizabeth chose to come here with you, she wanted to be here with you and Eva. You meant the world to her, please don't blame yourself for her death. She wouldn't want you to blame yourself for her passing, it's not your fault at all..."
" I can't do this right now, please watch my girls for me..." He sobbed.
My Uncle A placed me down on the floor, he got up from the sofa and hurried from my Auntie's apartment. Watari followed after him, but before he left he told us he would return later to check up on us. I turned my gaze towards my Auntie Nonie and she gave me a smile, she told me that we should check on Alyssa to make sure she was still asleep. I gave her nod of my head, she got up from the sofa and lead me to her bedroom by my hand. Alyssa's travel basket was now on a stand next to Nonie's bed, she was very quiet. I was lifted from the floor and placed down on the bed, I could now see Alyssa sleeping in her basket. She had a green dummy in her mouth, she was sucking it while she slept.
My Auntie Nonie sat down next to me on the bed, she gently stroked the back of Alyssa's head and watched her sleeping. I don't know why everyone likes Alyssa, she's very boring and smells like poop. I know she can't talk yet, but my Mummy always told me that I had to be nice to her because she's my little Sister. I watched my Auntie cover Alyssa up with her baby blanket, she then gently stroked the back of my head and asked me if I was okay.
" I don't know..." I said.
" Do you want something?" She asked. " A hot drink or a cuddle, I will get you anything you want and that includes ice cream..."
" No..." I replied with a shake of my head. " Auntie Nonie, we need to talk..."
" Yes sweetie, what is it?" She asked.
" My Mummy has gone forever, hasn't she?" I asked.
" I'm so sorry honey, but you're right..." She replied with a sigh. " But we'll be okay, I know your Uncle Akira will take very good care of you and Alyssa. He's a good man, he will come back when he his ready. He just needs some time to get his head around everything that has happened, it's just something that grownups have to do sometimes when sad things happen to the ones that we love..."
" What will happen to me now?" I asked.
" What do you mean?" She asked.
" Uncle A won't want me no more, I'm not his real baby..." I replied.
" Oh Eva, don't be silly..." She said while she put her arm around me and cuddle me close to her side. " Don't ever say that again, he loves you very much. He will never leave you and he will always be your Daddy or your Uncle A, so push all of those silly thoughts out of your head right now..."
" Okay..." I whispered.
I sighed to myself and looked down at Alyssa in her travel basket, she was still asleep. She would be waking up soon and crying for our Mummy, but I want our Mummy too. I felt my bottom lip trembled has I brought my hands to my face, my Mummy is gone forever. That means no more bedtime stories and washing days with Mummy, she is not living with us no more. My tears began to fall from my eyes and I couldn't help but cry, I want my Mummy I thought has my Auntie Nonie gave me a hug.
