Well, This Bloody Sucks

Answers That Were Not Expected

Walking around the Sakamaki grounds, I come across a bed of red roses. But something seems odd about it. I venture carefully towards it, wondering as to why I'm drawn to it.

As I stand over the roses, I gasp in horror.

Blood is speckling her face and heavily caking her chest. Her porcelain skin was paler than ever and her lilac hair fanned out beneath her.

With a bed of roses and thorns for her resting place; Cordelia lies dead.

.o0o.

I wake up with another horrified gasp. Breathing heavily as I try to get the image out of my head. I know where that rose bush is. The lady was murdered in her very own house. Brutally.

I check the time and see that my alarm would've been going off in a couple of minutes if it wasn't for the dream I had. Although I'm not sure if it was a dream. I've gone into the past before, who knows if it happened again.

Knowing that I have to start getting ready for school, I get out of bed, hoping to find some answers later.

.o0o.

After school I make my way to the rose bush that I saw in my dream. Thankfully, they've moved the body a long time ago. And any bruised roses that were once there have either been replenished with time or replaced.

I sigh. I'm not sure what to do. Pay my respects? Try to get more answers? The more answers I get, the more questions arise.

Suddenly, I hear the faint sound of music. A piano.

With my interest piqued. I follow the melody to a room where I see Laito playing.

Of all of the people who had to be able to play piano...

I have to admit though, he's pretty skilled.

"Why, hello, Little Bitch. I'm thrilled that we ran into each other here."

"That makes one of us." I sigh as I walk over to him. "Laito, who is the woman with a black dress and purple hair?" I ask, wanting to confirm my suspicions.

He stops playing the piano.

"Why do you want to know that?" Kanato asks. I look up to see both him and Ayato standing in previously unoccupied spaces. "What are you doing here?"

"Ayato, Kanato...What's your Mother's name?" I asks the two of them, wanting to get some answers.

Laito and Kanato refuse to look at me. But Ayato stares me in the eye as he utters a single word.

"Cordelia."

As soon as the word left his lips, I hunch over in pain.

"God dammit!" I seethe, as another chest pain hits.

"Eliza!" The triplets gasp in shock.

The next thing I know, everything is black.

.o0o.

I observe my surroundings to find that I'm outside the mansion.

A blood red moon shines ominously above, and I jump as a scream rings across the grounds.

Before I know it, I find myself on the staircase inside.

I gasp in horror.

Cordelia is standing on the lit staircase clutching her bloodied chest. A frightened face is plastered on with a trickle of blood showing on one corner of her mouth.
