Chapter 14: The Promise that was kept
*Warning! Mid-cussing, and Mid-violence.*
Soryu's POV.
As I finished bandaging her wounds, I was furious. My baby girl was covered in new and old cuts from toe to crown. It was clear that she was being abused, but by who I do not know. I look toward Eisuke who was looking at all the bandaged cuts with a not so happy face. Huh, looks like were on the same page for once.
"...Hey brat, what's your name?" Eisuke said as he clearly tried to contain his anger...
She looked at him as her jewel like eyes shined innocently at the reflected light. "Serena Howl! And I am 10 years old hehe!.. But I shouldn't be up this late... I should go home... sorry to bother you." Her enthusiasm turned to sadness almost as quick as it came as she moved away, toward the door of the lamborghini aventador (matte black). Before I could say anything, nor do, Eisuke of course interrupted me.
"Hey, don't touch my car without permission." His voice rang out loudly in the quiet car, making Serena jump.
I glared at him but he just smirked and pulled her toward him and sat her on his lap as he looked at me in triumph. Which of led to me taking out my gun, but stopped when I thought of what Serena's reaction might be. I slowly pulled my hand away from my jacket as Eisuke's smirk grew even larger than I thought was possible... tch...
Like that wasn't enough he brought her even closer so that she was almost laying down on his chest... That smugly little no good for...****.
"So Serena, how about you tell me how you got those wounds hm?" ...Well he was in a talkative mood today... Not... A... Good.. Sign...
"Well... um...I kinda fell... from the tree, yup! I fell down when I was climbing the tree the other day, hehe!"
"Oh really?" Eisuke asked with a sneaky smirk on his face. "Does your mother know that you love to climb trees?"
At this Serena's face grew a bit pale as she hesitated to answer. "Ummm...well, I don't have a mommy, well I used to but she died... on my birthday.. *sigh* I try to celebrate my birthday but, I also try to make sure that I don't cry, it's okay though! I'm better at that now!" :D ... She's a multi open book that's for sure.
"Awwww, you poor poor kitten, well who takes care of you now?" Eisuke wasn't planning on giving up was he? *sigh*
"Ms. Mayle takes care of all the children in the house until those children leave with their new family!" Her voice and face just screamed LIE... this poor kid needs to learn how to lie better... a LOT better.
"So Ms. Mayle is like your mom right?" He asked her with a small "kind" smile on his face, as his eyes became "gentle".
"Yeah kinda!" Another smile.
"So she loves you?"
"...Well..."
"She hugs you."
"Ummmm..."
"Gives you a goodnight kiss."
"No not really..."
"She tucks you in bed?"
"Not really..."
"She cleans you."
"No I'm a big girl I can do it myself!"
"She helps you brush your long hair."
"No I can do it!"
"She takes you to the doctor when you get sick?"
"No I just stay in bed far away from the other kids."
"She takes you to the doctor when you get a booboo."
"Nuh uh."
"She gives you treats when you do good on something."
"Never."
"She always smiles at you and the other kids."
"Kinda?"
"She always tell you that she hates you."
"Yeah, kinda."
"She gives you a booboo when you do something you weren't supposed to."
"Uh huh"
"Are they as bad as the booboo's you get from falling from the tree?
"Uh, huh! *nods furiously* Sometimes they're worse!"
"She sounds like a very not so nice person huh."
"Um hum, yeah she can be very scary!"
"Hmmmmmm, does she drink a lot of grape juice?"
"Yup! Everyday and every night! She really loves it! Sometimes she drinks all TWO bottles!"
"Haha yeah... I bet she does."
"Yeah...*yawn*...I'm tired." She stretches her arms out as she pushes her upper back upwards and slowly brings a fist to her mouth to cover her yawn, as she slowly rests into Eisuke and snuggles her little face into his chest...*GLARE!* vs.*GRIN!*
* 2 Hour Time Skip*
Before we knew it we hit town and the street lights bore down upon us as it lit up Serena's face as she rested on my chest... Yes! MY CHEST! Not HIS!.. Like come'on there was NO way I was going to let her sleep on him with his cocky ass face. *Sigh* Now we were driving towards the place where I first meet my little Kitten and going to the Orphanage there...
"You seriously aren't planning on taking her there Soryu! You saw what they did to her! She'll DIE!" Eisuke's hard on emotion voice bit into the uncomfortable silence.
With almost no emotion in my voice I told him what I could muster with a heavy heart said, "You heard what grandfather said? There is no way I could disobey a direct order from the Boss."
"Even if she'd die in the process Soryu?! Are you kidding me! Do I need to knock you dumb ass head on the F**king pavement to UNDERSTAND?!" His threatening voice chilled the car as he made a swift turn and park.
"Hush! Calm down!" I looked down at Serena to see that she had not even stirred in sleep. "I know! He said to RETURN her... but he never said anything about causing some ruckus as the boy hit town." I said with a half crooked smile as my eyes promised mischief.
"Heh... What do you have in plan brother?"
"Well, I think that Ms. Mayle might run into an unpleasant accident..." I grin evilly to him.
"One that she will not be able to take a single step from once were done, heh not so bad... but weren't we taught to never raise a hand on women and children?...HA! But then again... B*tch was asking for it. Heh."
"..Stop cussing Eisuke!" I hissed as I looked down at Serena.
"Heh, awwww worried that your girlfriend would catch some words here and there Sor? Hmmmm?"
Before I could respond red flames quickly spread across my face as my words turned to stutters.
"HAHAHAHAHHA!" His loud obnoxious voice rang out inside the car, as he started the car and continued our destination.
"Shh-Shu-Shut Up!" I said as quietly as I could but still loud in emotion as the tips of my ears became aflame.
"Hahaha! Well were here" Eisuke said as he slowly came to seriousness.
I looked up, upon the old building wondering about the after math. "Eisuke, who will take care of Serena if we kill the only care taker in the house?" I looked up from my angel's face only to see Eisuke walking out of the car phone in hand.
"Heh...typical Eisuke" I said with a chuckle that stopped short when Serena began to move in my arms and I looked down to see her small mouth open wide as her missing tooth came into view. While he tiny little fists that promised no harm lifted up, one higher than the other as her jewel like eyes came to view. "Did we wake you?" I asked in a whisper but I already knew the answer and it was too late.
She shook her head as her long curly hair danced around her like dolls. "*Yawn* No...Sor...can you please tell me about you?"
I had to doubled take what she said as I froze in shock and looked down upon her in question? Why ever what she want to know about someone who caused her a traumatic experience with his problems? "...Why do you want to know about me Rena?"
She crooked her head to the side in question as she looked up at me in complete wonder and curiosity as her jewel like eyes showed me the galaxy within.
"Why did you call me Rena, Sor?"
"Hahaha! We'll you call me Sor short for Soryu, and.. Well haha I decided to call you Rena, short for Serena, why? You don't like it?"
"...No I don't!..." Her sulked form sad end me. "I LOVE IT! THANK YOU SOR! YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND THE WHOLE WORLD! I LOVE YOU SOR'IE! She so suddenly squealed/yelled out loud that I jumped in my seat and hit the ceiling of the car... and heard obnoxious laughter outside.
*Sweat mark*"...Ah...haha glad you like it Rena :D" I blushed for a moment when I recalled her words, telling me that she loves me...*sigh*..And... Wait! Sor'IE?! "Serena.. Did you just call me Sor-."
"Rena." Her voice came out tired as she snuggled into me and wrapped her arms around me.
"...*sigh* Alright Rena, goodnight...and Happy Birthday love." I couldn't help the smile spreading my face as my eyes filled with the warmth of the love I held for her and took over me almost completely.
"*yawn* Goodnight Sor...I love you." Was the last thing she said as she fell into darkness, where she would rest peacefully starting from tonight. *Sigh* I look of one of my 2 necklaces and gave her one of mine. It had a dragon wing except it was more detailed from mine and a orb that was galaxy like, just as her eyes. While mine had two dragons circling over a blue orb, I put hers over her head since she was still so small.
I looked at her once again and slowly kissed her forehead. I gently pulled her arms away from me and laid her down across the back seats. I climbed out and took off my leather jacket and laid it over her and locked the doors, with a loaded gun ready in my hand as I joined Eisuke.
We moved swiftly in the dark, opening the door was a no brainier for the lock was old and rusted. We crept into the dark room looking for her for the night had come, and tonight... She will not see another day for she had wronged with the wrong person. It wasn't hard finding the abuser of my love; she was slumped over the kitchen counter bottles surrounding her. I looked at Eisuke as he glared at her with disgust. He pulled her over her shoulder and I followed making sure no one saw and went into the woods with him a good distance away. We looked at her and concluded that the shots would be heard, so I went back to the car and pulled Serena out and carried her to an empty room. I looked at her once again, not wanting to leave her. There was a belt around my throat, coking the insides as I was filled with agony.
"...I'm so sorry Serena.. I love you and I promise that once day I will find you and never let you go,... goodbye.. For now Rene..." I kissed her forehead once again and put my forehead onto hers as tears fell down from my eyes, onto the old battered wood. I took a deep breath and gently laid her down and took my jacket, so no one suspects anything. I looked around and saw an old blanket and laid that over her, covering everything except her face. I looked at her once again and gave her one last kiss and tore myself away for her before I kidnapped her. "Until next time kitten, goodnight and happy birthday love, I love you...Rena." And with that I left as fast as a cobra who strikes his pray,... who shall die tonight...
...When I got there I already saw the Ms. Mayle B**ch awake and ready to scream her head off. It seems that Eisuke had already done his work, now it's mine to make this real quick for dawn was about to break lose. I stalked to my pray as my aura flared dangerously making her notice me and forget Eisuke as her shaking grew worse and she pleas grew louder.
My arm reached into her hair and pulled lighting speed making her scream. I looked at her from head to toe as I pulled her up; disgusted I pulled her face close to me and whispered a promise. "What you did was unforgivable, disgusting, and completely stupid... you know why it's stupid? MS. MAYLE?" She shook her head and she pleaded for me to let go. "Because you messed with me! That's why." I threw her way from me, and she took an opportunity to TRY to crawl away from me. Hah! Not today! I bent down and grasped her hair and pulled her up again, this time with her legs hanging and her face right to height to mine. She continued to plead to let her go and crawl my hand holding her.
"Let you go?" I crocked my head as I slowly went mad in blood lust for the first time. "LET YOU GO?!" I looked at her with my eyes wide open in hysterical's of curiosity, wonder, and interest. "DID YOU LET HER GO?! HUH!? DID YOU!? HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THROWN DOWN? KICKED? PUNCHED? PULLED? SHOVED? SLAPPED? YELLED AT WITH MURDER IN PROCESS? HUH?!"
"I'M SORRY! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT I'M SORRY! AHH! PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GOOO!?" She screamed out in denial.
"Oh...I'm so so so so sorry... I think...YOU SHOULD OPEN YOUR EYES AND LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" She screamed again but opened them and looked into my crazed eyes.
"I want you to THINK! THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DID AND REGRET IT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!" I shouted in her face as he gave out another scream and said yes and I'm sorry once again.
"Good...now I want you to remember my name okay? It's Soryu Oh. Do you understand? Good now repeat it two times, loud and clear MS. MAYLE!"
"S-S-SORYU OH! SORYU O-"
*BANG*
I threw her away from me and left for the car leaving Eisuke to toe.
