Present (6)
Anyone's POV
Yui was sleeping on her soft pink bed, tucked securely into her covers. She was in a light sleep, having a peaceful dream of visiting one of Japan's many shrines. Yui may be a devoted Christian but she enjoyed experiencing other cultures, when she could.
Her peaceful dream was short lived. She was awoken by raging thunder, gasping as she did. She was compelled to go to the window. Once, Yui was there, she pulled back the curtain and glanced sleepily out of her window.
There was woman standing outside in the night. She looked similar to Cordelia but had a sinister aura to herself. The women was looking at a flower bed but turned to face Yui. It sent a shiver down her spine. Who was this women and what connection did she have to Cordelia?
Yui felt her heart clench in pain, she fell down to the ground in a dazed state, getting back up she walked out of her room in a possessed like state. While walking to her destination Yui experience a series of flashbacks.
Flashback
"What is happening?" Yui asked being brought out of her daze. This wasn't her room.
Startled, Yui looked around at her surroundings, in taking all the details. It was like she was at a royal castle.
A trio of young children ran passed her, either completely dismissing her, or the couldn't see her. They looked like Ayato, Kanato and Laito.
"The bats that I just caught got away!" Cried Kanato with tears in his eyes, they were a present for mother. He looked at his brother and clutched teddy tightly.
"Don't worry Kanato. We can catch them again," said Laito with a smile.
"Stop your crying Kanato, we can easily catch them," laughed Ayato.
"What unclean children," called a familiar purple haired women that walked up to the children.
'That women... I seen her in the garden,' thought Yui.
"Says you! The only unclean one that I can see is you, Elizabeth!" Ayato called. Elizabeth glared at her nephew with distant.
"Now, children is that anyway you should be talking to your aunt," she went to reach out for Laito but he moved out of the way. "If that is how she has been raising you I fear for the succession. Ayato, shouldn't you be studying?"
Laito and Kanato ran to get there mother.
"I have already done my morning lessons, Elizebeth. Mother said that I can take a break, an tired student makes sloppy student," Ayato told her while glaring at his aunt.
"Still you should be studying. Do you understand what it means to be the successor, you must be number one at everything. Honestly, my sister should have told you this," huffed Elizebeth. "If you were my son you would be a complete failure."
"Thank god, I'm not you son then," Ayato said. His brother had brought the mother over. Cordelia sent some killer intent towards Elizebeth, who shivered in response.
"Elizebeth, what do you think you are doing?" Questioned Cordelia, who already knew the answer. She motioned for the children to go sit over at the bench next to the flowers.
"Telling Ayato about his responsibility as the successor, which you should be doing! Your a disgrace Cordelia!" Shouted Elizebeth.
"A disgrace, really? If I am a disgrace what does that make you? I am the first born legitimate daughter of the demon king. I am married to the vampire king, Karlheinz. I have 3 beautiful sons while you have nothing of the sort. Now tell me who really is the disgrace?" Cordelia played with Elizebeth's hair then let go of it.
'So her sister is jealous of her,' thought Yui as she watched the scene unfold.
Elizebeth looked like she wanted to kill Cordelia but she knew it was a bad idea. Seeing how here first attempt failed. Elizebeth huffed at her sister and walked away. Cordelia walked over to the bench that she told her boys to go over to.
"Mother, what took you so long?" Kanato inquired. Cordelia gave him a fond smile. He hugged her dearly.
"No fare!" Complained Ayato and Laito, who also wanted a hug.
"Kanato, can you sing for me?" Asked Cordelia.
"Of course, mother!"
Meanwhile Yui walked to a different part of the garden. She found herself near a gazebo like structure. Inside was a blonde haired women with a fancy red dress, a servant, a young Shu and Reiji.
"Shu, what do you think your doing with that mongrel?" Asked the blonde haired lady, who's name was Beatrix.
"Edgar gave him to me and I promised to look after him! Isn't he cute!" Shu held the puppy out for his mother to inspect.
"Shu you are the eldest son of the family and wit lol be the successor, so you must always conduct yourself in a proper way," Beatrix told."But I guess we could keep him... however if the mongrel goes one step out of line I will get rid of him."
"Thank you mother!" Shu ran off to play with his new puppy.
"Mother, I have memorised this whole book," said Reiji. Beatrix looked at him with a small badly noticeable smile.
"Well done," she told him as she went back to her needle work.
Yui found a white rose on the ground, she picked it up to examine it but cut her finger, dropping it to the ground.
She found that the scene has changed, she was now at a white rose bushes that lead straight to a massive tower. A young Subaru stood outside longingly at the tower.
"So this is where you have been, I should have known," called a voice from behind Yui. It was Cordelia.
Yui looked at the tower to find a beautiful white haired women in it. Subaru gripped his dagger tightly.
"It wasn't your fault... it was never your fault," Subaru looked at Cordelia with sad eyes. "Do you wish to come with me?" Subaru nodded and took Cordelia's hand.
'Cordelia really is a kind mother. I wish I had her when growing up,' thought Yui.
Yui was transported to another scene.
"Elizabeth, you are by far the most beautiful women in the world," Richter said while kissing her hand.
"Oh, how I wish I could keep you by my side just to hear you sweet comments," Elizabeth told the green haired man.
The world turned to black and white, everything was frozen in place. Elizebeth turned her head to come face to face with Yui, creeping the poor girl out.
Yui clutched her chest and fell to the ground unconscious.
End
Yui woke up confused, she was in the sewer like place. She was woken up by Ayato.
"How did I get here?" Yui asked Ayato.
"You really don't remember?" He questioned with a frown.
"Where am I anyway?" She rubbed her forehead.
"In the underground water way, you really shouldn't be down here, especially when it rains." Yui looked passed Ayato, to a door.
"Whats in there?" She curiously asked.
"That's none of your business, and I would advise you to never try to go in there," snapped Ayato. "Your finger is bleeding."
Yui glanced at her finger, wondering what Ayato was talking about. Her eyes widened at the sight of blood on it.
'That shouldn't be possible, I cut my finger in the dream yet it follows me back. How is that possible?' Thought Yui with worry.
"Oi, hurry up!" Ayato shouted at Yui. He was a few meters away, walking out of the tunnel. "When we get back I want some of your blood."
"Make the two," said Laito as he appeared behind Yui, causing her to flinch at his sudden appearance. "Now come on you don't want to stay down her, do you?"
With Cordelia
"One step closer to the awakening," Cordelia stood in her room glancing out from her window. "Richter, whose side are you truly on? Ours or hers?" Mused Cordelia.
"It doesn't matter, if he is a threat to us. I will personally end him," said a voice from behind her. Cordelia wanted through the man out of the window, she probably would if he kept sneaking up on her.
"I thought you were busy playing doctor?" Cordelia questioned with fake seriousness. Karlheinz shook his head.
"I'm not a doctor but a humble nurse, trying to keep all the students and teachers in my care as healthy as possible," he said.
"Healthy so that they can be your experiments?" Arms wrapped around her shoulders, bringing her closer to Karlheinz chest.
"Anyone that is injured or sick should have came to me," He told Cordelia as his grip tightened on her.
"It was one day!"
"One day to late, your scents changed as well," Karlheinz hummed as he nuzzled her neck. "I'll need to examine you in my office."
"Karl, can you let me go I'm feeling tired and I want to rest," Cordelia told him as he let her go to sit on the bed.
"As especially of a women in your condition," Karlheinz glanced at Cordelia's stomachs with a very smug grin.
'Condition? He's knocked me up hasn't he? I'm not surprised, we weren't exactly taking precautions,' thought Cordelia.
"Cordelia, do you think the boys would love another sibling?" Karlheinz asked.
'They'll probably try to castrate the man when they find out,' thought Cordelia with no empathy.
"Cordelia?"
"I'll deal with you in the morning," Cordelia told him as she flung a pillow at his face. Karlheinz immediately caught it.
Cordelia got up and changed into a black nightgown, to tired to do anything else she went to bed. Karlheinz also changed out of his clothing, moving into the bed he put his arm around Cordelia and pulled her closer to him. The two eventually drifted off to sleep.
