Fallen Times

Seven

  The mansion was dead silent. The only thing that can be heard was the clock painfully and slowly ticking. Everyone stares at the girl, wondering what is going on. Shu's eyes widen,appalled at the woman's answer. The girl looks down at her dress, dreading at the atmosphere. Reiji stares at the girl,showing no emotions. However, deep down he is lost. When she said that name,his eyes slightly widen. Subaru looks at everyone, unsure as to what is going on. Kanato stops playing around and observes the girl. Ayato looks at her shocked. His eyes wandering everywhere for proof that she is not lying. Laito once playful and cheerful side became serious and dark. His dark forest green eyes narrows and stares at the woman. His smirk long gone. They all had one thought...Is it really her? Shu breathing became heavy and rapid. His hand turns into fist. His knuckles turns white. So many emotions he hasn't felt since the day of her death. He then stands up. He chair falls back as he stands up. He glares at her.
"She's dead."he says coldly. He looks at her in disgust. She looks up, paralyzed under his vision. So many emotions started to rise up. She looks into his eyes, unable to say something. Her eyes start to water as he start to walk away. Her stomach drops. A tear rolls down her faces as he stops walking and says,"Leave. "

She stays there, confused and deprived at his words. " I said leave, Amaya. I am not going to say it again." Shu snaps. Amaya flinches and slowly gets up. More tears rolling down her face as she walks to the door. Shu walks her and opens the door. "Please Shu. Don't do this. Please believe me." She begs as she walks through the door. " She's dead. Amaya Castell is dead. You are not her and never will be. I don't know who you are ,but don't ever come back here again. Don't ever use her name to get into this house. "Shu hisses then slams the door in her face. Amaya stares at the door for a couple seconds then falls to the floor,sobbing. She then gets up and starts to walk away from the house. She looks up at the moon, hoping that she can get to them before he gets to him. She then looks to her left and sees a black rose on the house. She bends down and picks it up. As she picks it up she flinches, as she touch the thorn by accident. Blood dropping on the rose. She stares at the rose and begins to walk again. Picking the petals off the rose as she finally leaves.

Shu eyes closes his eyes as he feels so many emotions surge through him. He felt grief,aching,betrayed,shaky,alone,outrage,and guilty. He leans against the door and sits on the floor. He pulls his legs towards his chest. His hands on his head.His eyes still wide and confused. His breathing starts to slow down. He closes his eyes as he feels tears starting to form. "Was it really her? No it can't be. She wouldn't just disappear and come back like this? Or would she? Did she really die in the first? They only found Vincent's body but they didn't find hers and Tessa's body. What if that really was her?"Shu thought as he got up quickly and open the door. He runs outside and looks around hoping to find her,but she was already gone. "She's gone. I am so stupid. What if that was really her? I should have given the woman a chance to prove it."Shu thought angrily. He then looks up at the moon,hoping that she comes back. He then walks back to the mansion,slamming the door behind him. He then walks to his room and lays on the bed, wondering where did she go and why she suddenly comes back now. He eyes slowly starting to become heavy as he finally relaxes from the stressful day.

Next Day...

Knock Knock Knock... Shu groans as he hears knocking at the door.He rubs his eyes and mumbles," How troublesome." He then gets up and casually walks to the door. The butler bows and says," Sorry to interrupt your sleep,sir,but there is someone at the door, pleading to see you. It is very important they said." Shu's eyes widen as the butler tells him. He pushes past the butler and runs down the stairs. He quickly opens the door and sees Amaya standing soak. His eyes widen as he sees her soak by the rain. Her wet hair covering her eyes as she looks at the floor. "I know you said don't come back ,but please at least let me explain and prove to you that I am Amaya Castell."she whispers. She then looks up at his eyes. Shu clears his throat and stares at her, deciding whether he should give her a chance. "What if it really wasn't her? I just wasted my time ,but I rather waste my time to figure out it was her then to lose a chance like this. I don't want to lose her again if it is actually her."Shu thought.

He then takes a step back,opening the door wider. Hinting her that she can come in. She nods her head and bows as she walks inside then mansion. "Thank you."She mumbles. She walks and Shu slowly closes the door behind him,observing her."Let's go to my room."Shu says. she clears her throat and nods, following him. They enter his room and she walks in,not knowing where to sit, she sits on his bed. He closes the door and stares at her. She smooths her soak dress and they stay quiet ,staring at each other. plain silence throughout the whole room.
Finally Shu says something."Prove it." She looks up at him with her icy blue eyes. She clears her throat and says," I don't know how. "Shu grunts in annoyance. "Why waste my time if you can't prove it. Such a troublesome woman."Shu thought. "Don't waste my time. Prove it or leave."Shu coldly states. 

"Okay. My name is Amaya Fey Castell. My father was Vincent Kai Castell and my mother was Tessa Aria Shimzu Castell."She started. Shu Shrugs and crosses his arm over his chest. "So? Everyone knows that. The family is a noble family."Shu yawned. She nods her head and crosses her legs. She stares at him with determination. " My best friend name is Shu Sakamaki. He plays the violin and he is the eldest Sakamaki. He has five younger brothers. Four half brothers with two different mothers. Ayato,Kanato,Laito with their mother, Cordelia, and Subaru,with Christa. Reiji is actually your full blood brother and your mother name is Beatrix." Amaya stated. He then shrugs again."Like I said everyone knows that. We are also a noble family. Look, I am going to give you one more chance and if you failed leave once again. Don't ever come back,again. This is my last time saying this."Shu hissed.

Her eyes widen as she realizes she is not winning him over. Her hand clutch her dress tight and her knuckles turn white. Her eyes start to become filled with tears. She looks at him with tearful and pain in her eyes. "The last day I had came over to have some tea with the Sakamaki family was May 22,1889. It was also the day my world started to fall apart. You had ran away because your mother scold you and took your puppy away. Then we both were in a forest. We both made a promise that one day you will be my prince and I will be your princess."She sadly smiled at the memory. She then lightly laugh as tears slowly came down her face and drop onto her lap. Shu's eyes widen as he hears this. However, he stays quiet,waiting for her to continue. "I guess know you would be my King and I would have been you queen if I wasn't...taken away."Amaya sadly jokes. Shu looks at her confused, but lets her continue on once again. "You then said that we will run away together with your friend,Edgar. We will happily ever after. I then remembered that I kissed your cheek and ran away. "Amaya's says. She then smiles at him. Shu gazes at her as he realized it was really her. No one knows that except them. So many thoughts and feelings ran through Shu's heart and mind. "What had happen to her? Who did this to her? Why did this happen? That god she is still alive. This has to be a dream." Shu thought.

He felt confused,thankful,free,and most of all warm. "Please, Shu. Please believe me. I would do anything to prove it to you. Please believe me, my prince."Amaya begs. Shu then walks towards her and hugs her tight. "It is really you."Shu whispers in her ear as he hugs her tighter,making sure this isn't a dream. Amaya's eyes widen as he hugs her. She then smiles as she realizes he believes her. Her arms wrapped around his neck,pulling them closer. "He is so warm."Amaya thought. She then closes her eyes and they stayed holding each other,savoring this moment.
