Candy's P.O.V
It's been weeks since the school burnt down but I still have nighmares of it. Over and over again I can hear screams of the students... Will I ever be happy again? No matter how much I read, no matter how much I draw... And no matter how much I cry. How can I forgive myself? Even my childhood friends tries to cheer me up... It only works for a little while until I think about the bad stuff again. But when Azusa hugged me... I could feel that I can tell him. Tell him everything. About me and the school.
''Azusa... I will tell you... Everything...'' I said quietly.
''I'm... Listening.'' Azusa said slowly. I took a deep breath and began to tell from the start.
''Before the orphanage I was living in a village. With my parents and my brother. We weren't rich but we were happy. We lived at the same village as Yuma when he was called Edgar. Then I also met Shu. But after we met Shu a fire broke out in the village. The day before the fire our parents told us that we were special. That we had special powers. But they didn't told us what it was. I lost both my parents and my brother got injured. It began to rain and some strange pepole found us. They were mubling something about money and took us away but soon my brother disappeared. He told me to never forget to smile. I think he's dead now. Then I arrived at the orphanage. I saw Edgar but he had lost his memories. I got sad but kept on a smile on myself just like my brother told me. Then I met Kou. We were in the same club. Not like I knew what it meant... But they were paying to hurt us... It was like hell but I still smiled...'' I looked down a little bit and took a deep breath.
''You guys were planning on escaping while someone took me in. A kind man. He was a priest. I hoped that you guys made it but I heard romurs that four kids got shot so I thought you got killed. But the kind man told me not to waste any tears on you. But I still did and got punished for it. Just when I thought I got a home I realized that hell was just continuing. It was actually a acadamy I speant all the other years. An acadamy for hunting. I learned how to kill vampiers at the most painful way. And everytime I did something wrong... I got punished! I got toutured! Over and over again!'' I noticed how strange my voice got and that I was smiling. I could see the worry in Azusa's eyes.
''Everytime I failed on a test... They cut me! Everytime I said something wrong... They hit me! Everytime time I fell they laughed! But I was still smiling... Smiling even though they burned me, cut me, whipped me, laughed at me! But what was the most painful... That they did it infront of my classmates. They had to watch, every singel part of it. And when it was done... They offered everyone... Snails... I was forced to eat it. No matter how bad it tasted I had to eat it. Cooked or raw... I even have scars left on my back.'' I took off my shirt and showed him my back. It was filled with burn marks, scars and the words they burned into me. Then I put my shirt back on and continued to tell.
''Nobody talked to me... Around that time I thought I was going to be insane. I was hearing a voice inside my head... But she told me that I was still sane. That she actually is some kind of soul who can take over my body. I named her dark Candy. She could kill anybody without even showing any emotion. It made me a little bit calmer when they sent me out on a mission. I didn't have to kill anybody. Soon I met Yui. She was like an angel to me. Her bright smile and her hopeful eyes made me see the wonderful things in the world again. And of course she was the kind man's daughter. So she had no idea about the acadamy and how they treated the students. But she overheard a plan... So they took her memories away and sent her to the Sakamaki mansion. Soon after that they sent me too...'' I looked at Azusa to see if he was still listening and he was. He pulled me into another hug.
''Candy...''
''I'm not done yet... There is still more...''
''It's enough for today. You should rest.
''Alright...'' I closed my eyes. He must have gotten scared when I was smiling so strangely earlier. I can't blame him. I would have been scared of myself too which I already am. But I still have to tell him about the school and my chains...
''But just so you know... The school got burnt down and I was the one who set it on fire.'' I told him before falling into silance. Soon I fell asleep in Azusa's arms. I wonder what kind of nightmare I will have this time...
Azusa's P.O.V
I never would have thought Candy had it this hard. How much she has been through... And still smiles... But I can see that she slowly can't continue like this anymore... I hope I can help her... I carefully put Candy down on her bed and went to Ruki. I knocked on his door and waited for him to open it. Soon he did.
''Yes? Is something wrong?'' I nodded and went inside while I sat down on one of his armchairs. Ruki closed the door after him and sat down infront of me.
''It's about Candy... She...'' I didn't know why but tears were falling from my eyes.
''She told... Me about her past and the school... She told me almost everything...''
''She did?'' Ruki looked at me worried.
''Yes...'' I couldn't even continue to tell... It was too much. I began to cry and Ruki wiped away my tears.
''You can tell me tomorrow. If you want you can sleep beside me tonight?'' I nodded. Ruki really was a kind brother even though he can be strict. I'll tell all my brothers about Candy... Tomorrow...
