Diabolik lovers:Amaya's Story

Untitled Part 7

The awakening? What the hell is that?

"The awakening? What is that?" I ask. Reiji sighs,

"You see, when Yui was taken in by the church, part of Cordelia's heart was placed into her body" I cringed when he said that; it's sick.

"As Yui grew, Cordelia's heart fused together with Yui's. The awakening is the final stage when Cordelia's immortal heart engulfs Yui's human heart and takes full control of Yui's body. This will occur after both Yui's heart, and soul are destroyed." Reiji frowns and pushes his glasses up his nose, shaking his left softly.

"We had no choice in the matter. We initially tried to stop it, but our father told us he wanted his beloved back, and he said if we went against his orders, he would kill us." I gasped at that. How could their father be so cruel?

"But," Subaru interjected.

"Our father is dead now and is no longer an obstacle." I suddenly thought of a question.

"Subaru, how come you didn't want me to talk about this out loud? Don't Kanato, Ayato, and Laito know about this?" Before Subaru could respond, Reiji answered.

"No, they do not. It would be best not to tell the triplets because if they knew, they would kill Cordelia and probably end up killing Yui too. This must be done in a certain way and with a certain weapon," Reiji finished his answer and got up and went into his bedroom. After a few minutes, he came out with a small case in his hands.

"What's this?" I ask as he hands me the case. I felt a cold breath on my neck as Subaru looked over my shoulder at the case curiously. I slowly opened it. Inside was a small silver dagger with a red jewel on the handle.

"Wow, it's magnificent." Subaru breathed as he stared down at it in awe. I felt a mix of fear and despair as my gaze landed on the dagger.

"Why are you giving this to me?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"Well, you see- Subaru, don't!" He yelled as Subaru grabbed hold of the dagger and screamed in pain.

"Ah! What the hell!" He said and dropped the dagger, which clattered loudly to the floor. Subaru grimaced in pain and held his hurt hand against his chest. I stared in shock as some of Subaru's hand now had a patch of skin missing and blood pouring from the wound.

"Subaru!" I ran to him, intending to grab his hand but thought better of it and stopped in front of him. I whipped around to Reji in a panic. "Reiji, why did it burn him!?" Reiji exhaled sharply and placed his hand over his face in exasperation.

"If I could have finished," He glared at an injured Subaru who was too busy applying pressure to his wound with his hand to notice. "This dagger is purified, so we can't touch it and," He glanced over at Subaru and clicked his tongue.

"Just a moment, that is very distracting." He leaves, comes back with a bandage and a bottle, then goes to Subaru and pours some of the liquid from the bottle onto his hand. Subaru sucked in through his teeth and slammed his hand into the wall nearest to him. The wall cracked, and small paint particles dropped onto Reiji's clean carpet.

"Subaru, will you stop making a mess of my room," Reiji barked.

"Shut. The. Hell. Up." Subaru ground out between clenched teeth. Reiji wrapped the bandage around Subaru's hand and stepped back. "There, that should heal in a couple of hours." He turned back to me.

"Now, like I was saying. One stab through Cordelia's heart with this should kill her and bring Yui back unharmed." I nodded slowly, trying to comprehend what he was saying.

"So, how are you guys going to stab her? I thought you guys couldn't touch it?" Subaru looked away, and Reiji's lips turned up in a hint of a smile as he gave me a knowing look.
