*sorry for mistakes*
Yui set down the cold glasses of soda on the table and gave a curt smile before leaving some customers alone, after that day off, she felt like a new woman! Yeah, her iron deficiency was still a problem during the day, but nonetheless a new woman! The pale blonde quickly walked over to the secluded area where her children were, watching over them go along with their usual antics of the day; the quadruplets were teasing the triplets, Yuuta was asleep with Hayato laying on top of him watching everyone else while Harue was trying to draw on the elder blondes face, Kousuke, Kana, Minato, and Kei formed their own little group and chatting about mundane kid things, Yui knew Reika and Adam were up in the apartment, Momoi was with Airi at the duck pond in the park, Justin was outside dealing with Melissa and Christina, and finally there was Kumiko, drawing by herself quietly. Yui’s interest piqued towards her daughter, she was almost never this quiet or isolated. The woman walked over to the strawberry blonde who was peacefully scribbling on pieces of paper and crayons sprawled out all over the table; softly, Yui called out to the nine-year-old to gain her attention.
“What are you drawing, Kumiko-chan?” The young girl looked up and gave a wolfish grin, “A dream I had, Momma.”
“A dream? What kind of dream?”
“Well...I wasn't really asleep since it was during the day...And my eyes were open! What do you call that, Momma?”
“I think the term is…’Daydream’.” Yui let out a giggle, Kumiko was like an energetic and mischievous puppy who never failed to make her happy. It reminded her of the days where he treated her as an actual being rather than a walking food source...Then again, those were very rare dreams. The strawberry blonde nine-year-old dropped her crayon on the table and gathered all of the papers together so they were somewhat neat, then held them so she could present them and flip through the papers. “Listen up, Momma! This is how my daydream went!”
With a smile, Yui pulled up a chair next to Kumiko and told her she was excited to hear about it. Kumiko showed the first paper; it was a poorly drawn dark forest with Kumiko in the center of it.
“I was in this super dark forest! You or Nee-san weren't there, so I was scared at first! So I walked around to try and find my way out…” Kumiko took the paper and tossed it to the table to show off the second page. In the middle of the dark forest was light shining on a single tree with white blossoms. “Then I found this single tree! It was like God or something was directing me to this tree!”
“And then all of the blossoms fell, apples started growing in place! I got to have one and they were super yummy! Momma, you could of made a really yummy tart with them!”
“Oh wow, I wish I was there!” Yui chirped along to her daughter's storytelling. The golden eyed child then turned to the next page, revealing a massive black scribble looming over the drawing of a scared looking Kumiko. “When I bit into the apple, this weird looking guy appeared in front of me! I couldn't see what he really looked like, but he had this really deep voice! He then told me-”
Kumiko cleared her voice and tried to sound like an adult man, “ ‘You've always lived an easy life without knowing anything, when in the end you were the daughter of the wolf and little red riding hood.’ That's what he said before disappearing.”
Yui rose a brow as she kept quiet, allowing her golden eyed daughter tell her story.
“And then wolves appeared! They were surrounding me, but I tried to be brave. I was ready to hit them until one of them talked! It said ‘you and your sister are wolves among sheep, with the blood of the founders and nursed by Eve unwillingly.’ I didn’t know what they were talking about…” Yui's velvet-pink eyes went wide when she heard that sentence, staring at the image of wolves surrounding Kumiko. That's when she turned to the next page…
It was him...Standing in front of Kumiko.
“And there was this guy who looked a lot like me! He didn't do anything except just stood there...I thought he was a pirate! And then I woke up...Momma, do think this means anything?” Kumiko turned her head towards her mother's and tilted it innocently. The pale blonde woman gulped quietly and pulled herself away from falling into another breakdown, smiling nervously towards her daughter.
“I-I don't know...M-Maybe you watched something on TV like this?”
“Hmm...Maybe I did! I'll ask Nee-san when she gets back!” Yui nodded and excused herself to the employee backroom, crashing onto the couch and letting out a shaky breath...Why? Why were the coming back to her now? After all of these years of laying low...Yui felt something poking at her back and pulled it out...It was the invitation to Subaru's birthday ball. The velvet-pink eyed woman set it next to her and let her head fall onto the wall. She still had to answer Karlheinz...What should she do?
Let Hayato meet Subaru? And fall back into the world of vampires, the very same ones who caused her nightmares every night?
Or don't go? Hiding Hayato away from the truth until he goes through puberty and finds out he's part vampire along with the others?
Hot tears ran down Yui's face as her old scars started to burn yet again, remembering their fangs pierce her skin and take her precious blood for their own...Their hurting touches...The pain.
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts
Yui sniffled and sobbed in silence as she tried to get over her past demons, stuck in this temporary limbo that felt like centuries. Her breath shortened as she felt her heart beat uncontrollably and her blood pressure started to rise. Yui truly was weak...Just like what they told her for all of those years. She cannot even make a simple choice.
What should she do?
