-Two To Tango-

"a past to remember" (12)

"What took you so long, Lawrence?" Scaramouche said while sitting on a rock.

"Just dealing with someone that witnessed the destruction. Nothing to worry about, you know."

"Did you leave them alive? Cause if you did that would be bad news, haha."

"I made sure they never spoke of it again, they have no hands to do anything."

"Good job. The next step... is way more cruel, but amazing at the same time."

Eula grinned from the side of her face, heading inside of her room in the hideout. She laid on her bed, bursting with laughter while using an arm to cover her eyes. She was laughing so much, not even feeling a slight bit of guilt inside her. It was just right after she had a laughing frenzy that she realized that her ribs were very sore and they hurt mildly. Eula never felt like this for a long time, knowing she had done something like this before angered her. She thought this was the first time she had done something like this. It was at this moment, she remembered. A very, very, very cruel moment in her life. Where she had done something worse than anything she had ever remembered.

-Eula's Past- Monstadt, 10:31 AM

"But mom! I don't want to go! I don't want to go with dad! Dad is scary! He makes me do things I don't like! He's so bossy!"

"Eula.. how many times do I have to tell you!? You can't decide what you can do.. your dad.. he's way too powerful.. "

Eula's eyes filled up with tears, walking towards her father. Her father would hit her when she didn't do the things he told her to do. Her father would call her names like "useless" and "bitch" when she tried to be alone. She was abused and hit all the time, even when she did nothing wrong. When Eula tried to talk back to her father, like one time where her father told her to "Fuck off, your so useless." and Eula said "Why don't you? With that much money, you can't even buy love for your family..!" Her father was so angry that he locked her inside of the dark, scary basement for one week. 

Monstadt, 3:51 AM

Eula was not sleeping well. Her dad had just hit her with the hilt of his sword 100 times, causing a bruise to slowly form on the right side of her ribs. Pain would rush into her ribs every 10 seconds, causing Eula to wince and close her eyes every now and then. It wasn't until then she heard loud screaming and arguing noises from her father's room. It sounded like her mother was having a hard argument with her father. 

"THAT'S IT. I'M LEAVING. I'LL LEAVE YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER WITH EULA. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO."

"FINE! LEAVE. I DON'T CARE. I'LL JUST ABUSE HER MORE AND MORE UNTIL SHE DIES."

15 minutes later.. Eula's mother left with her bags. Eula immediately ran out and screamed at her father. She screamed so much at him that it left him speechless and angry. 

"Was hurting your ribs not enough? Seriously? It leaves me with no choice."

Eula's father threw her out.. 

and that was all she remembered.

Present Time

Eula's eyes flapped back to reality. 

What the fuck did I just remember? My past? Huh? No way..?!

"Lawrence, open the door. We gotta talk."

Eula opened the door, letting Scaramouche in her room. He had his usual hat on, which seemed a bit oversized- but that wasn't the problem. 

"Lawrence.. I want you to explain the details of what happened earlier. That girl that interrupted you while you were heading here.. who and why was she there?"

"..Well... she's.. she's.."

"Lawrence. I'm being serious. What happened?"

"She's my girlfriend.. actually.."

"Then why did you hurt her like that?"

"I couldn't stand it. I thought it was right. I don't know.."

"Okay.. that's all.. But I have one, very hard request for you. I don't know if your up for the job though since that girl is so close to you."

"What is it..?"

"Okay, so I want you to eliminate her. Kill her, in other words."

"What?!"

"Yes, you heard me. IF you don't want to do it, I will send somebody else. Yes, or no?"

"...yes.. I will.."

"Then it's settled."

With that, Scaramouche walked out of the room with a grin.
