Fallen Times

  "Why?"Shu whispers in her eyes as they continue to hold each other. Amaya stays quiet and clutch tighter on Shu's shirt. "Why?" Shu repeated. Amaya cleared her throat and let's go. She gently moves back and takes a glance at him. "I'm sorry. Please tell everyone to go to the dining room. It would be better to tell you why with everyone there." Amaya states. Shu nods his head and they both left the room. 

"What is all this commotion about?"Reiji walks in the dining room. Amaya sits in the middle of the dining room table. Her face shown no emotions.She looks up as she hears Reiji. "Please sit down Reiji."she says. 

"Why are you her Miss Amaya? I thought the deadbeat didn't allow you to come here. You should know it is very immature of you to make such meetings without a notice beforehand and to thin-"Reiji barks but Amaya cuts him off. "Please Reiji just sit down and wait for the others. Shu shall explain why I am here and I shall explain everything. Just please stay quiet. That is all I ask for you to do."Amaya pleads. Reiji glares at her ,but stays quiet. "Thank you."Amaya whispers.
"Ah, who would have thought Shu that he would take the Miss back. Did you use your seductive voice to come back,Miss?"Laito chimes as he and Kanato walks in. "Ne, Teddy look the crazy lady is back."Kanato whispers to Teddy. Amaya flinches as she hears Kanato and Laito. "Please sit and wait for your other brothers to come."Amaya says. They sat down and stay quiet as they observe her. Amaya feels the brother's eyes focusing on her. She ignores it ,but their eyes burns into her as if they are touching her. Subaru then stomps in and sits down,angrily mumbling. She clears her throat and says,"We just need Shu to bring Ayato and we shall tell you everything. I promise." They all nod their heads. Suddenly ,the door slams open. "Oi,what is going on here?! After Laito brought that woman, everyone has been acting strange. "Ayato barks angrily."Who has woken up Yours Truly?!"Ayato demands. Ayato opens his mouth once again, ready to say something,but stops when he sees Amaya."Oi, I thought you were forbidden to come back. Who brought you back?"Ayato demands. Amaya clears her throat,ready to say something."So troublesome. Ayato shut up. Just sit down and listen. I will explain everything right now."Shu assured as he walks past Ayato to sit next to Amaya. Ayato just mumbles and plomp down on the chair.

Everyone then looks at Shu,waiting for an answer. Shu clears his throat."She's not lying. She is true of her words."Shu explains. "Eh? So the little Miss wasn't lying?"Laito ask. Shu and Amaya nods their heads.

"I am dearly sorry for intruding. I know all you may thinking why and how. However, it is true. You may not believe me,but I am not a liar. I am true to my words. It is really me, Amaya. You may not believe it ,but please just listen. I would also be cautious if I were in your place."Amaya addresses. 

Everyone looks at her,questioning everything about her,but chooses to listen. Reiji clears his throat and says,"You may continue."
Amaya nods her head as a thank you and began," It all started June 18, 1889. I remember that day, perfectly. The servants and the maids were cleaning up while my parents and I were asleep. I couldn't sleep that night. I was tossing and turning. It was quiet in the mansion. The clock was ticking and the maids were gossiping about their day. I was debating on whether to stay in bed or go to my parents room. However, I decided to stay in my bed for a little while and if I couldn't go to my bed, I shall go to my parents for assistance. I stared at the ceilings for a little while,slowly starting to fall asleep until. I heard banging and scratching. Then I heard the maids and servants. They were loud and they sound like they were panicking. I sat up and slowly open the door. I peek and see that the hallway is empty . However, I can hear echos and the maid scream. My eyes widen and I walk towards my parents room. Their door was open. I back away,feeling as if something was off,but as I back away I bump into something. I turned around and see another vampire. I never seen him before. He was slim yet thick. His skin was smooth pale. His hair was long straight blonde.He had bangs covering his left eye. he had bright icy blue eyes. His eyes were filled with desire and greed. He had a smile like a clown His teeth white and sharp. He was taller than my father by a few inches. He chuckles. His eyes beam bright as if he sees a prize. I started to back away from him,but stop once I bump into the wall. His hand slowly starts to reach towards me. His long fingers grab my throat. His nails digs into my skin as he picks me up by the neck. I struggle under. My small hands grasp on his hand. I start to cough and cry. Suddenly, I hear my father scream . In the corner of my eye, I see him coming. Blood all over him,. In my head, I cried for him. I then look at the vampire and bit as hard as I could. My fangs piercing into his filthy skin . He grunts in pain and drops me. I land on my side ,but ran quickly to my father,screaming 'daddy'. He picks me up and he ran as he realize his family is in great danger. As he ran, he sees my mother hiding in the room,waiting for us. he ran in and slam the door. He then puts me down on the chair and starts to move the bed. Behind the bed, was a little vent.He opens the small vent and turns to me,"My angel, I need you to stay in here. I know you are scared. It is okay,my little angel. Everything will be alright. I promise. I-"The door than begins to to move as they try to get in. He then kisses my forehead and kisses my mother's cheek as he knows he will die saving his family. He then starts to push us in ,but it was too late. The door broke open and they walk in. There was so many of them. I lost count after 10. They surrounded us. My father backs up and pull us behind him. He draws his sword out and points towards them. They all smirked as they realized that we have nowhere to run. I gaze up at my father in fear that he will die protecting us. Then the blonde vampire walks in and walks towards us. He stop a few inches away from us and stares as he hits the jackpot. He then points at my mother and me. "Get them."My mother grab my arm and pulls me closer to her. My father then pulls us closer and sneers,"Over my body." The blonde vampire chuckles and smirks at my father reaction. He then tells the others,"Get the girls. This one is mine."He booms. The other chuckles and ran towards us. My father then ran towards them and begins to fight. My mother then grabs a sword and begins to fight. She then turns to me and says,"My love, I need you to run. Run as fast you can and hide."

I walk backwards,afraid of the sight. I then glance at my parents. Their backs facing me as they continue to fight them off. I look around the room and see that I can escape through the door. I ran as fast as I could. Sadly, I didn't make it. One vampire grab me and pick me up. Hugging me tight so I won't escape. The vampire that took me started to walk away. Suddenly, I heard my father scream my name and he push everyone away. He ran towards me, his arm reaching out. My eyes filled with tears as I tried to reach for his hand. As our hands were about to touch,my world fell into pieces. Blood splattered everywhere. My eyes widen as I feel the warmth of blood on my cheek. My eyes widen,paralyzed from the scene. My mother scream echos throughout the mansion as she sees the scene. My father sadly smiles as he slowly falls down onto his knees. The blonde vamp violently pulled out his sword out of my father chest. Blood dripping down on the corner of my father's lips. Even though he is hurt, he continues to smile for me. His hand tightly clutches onto my bracelet . His blood covering it. The blonde vampire then raises his sword,ready to finish my father off. My father then whispers to me as that man kills him. I scream like I never did before. My cries turns into sob as I see my mother passed out. As they took my mother and I away,all I can see is the scene of my father dying over and over again. My life was destroyed for an unknown reason. They locked us up in separate rooms. I didn't eat for weeks. Once in a while, they let me see my mother. However, she and I weren't the same. She didn't even speak. She just stares. I used to count the days but I lost count after 165. My mother died on the 16 day by suicide. After a while, I became accustom to it. I used to eat two meals a day, get beaten if I do anything wrong. They would make me do some of their task once I grew a little older and more mature. They would make me seduce their targets and kill them. I didn't even think about killing, I just did it.

They started to trust me and think that I forgotten my past. But,in reality, I didn't. I swore to myself that I will escape and get revenge for my parents. Thanks to them, I learn how to escape. They didn't even realize the mistake they did. The ruler that controls the whole thing, the blonde man, name is Taro. He will try to get me back as soon as he realizes I have escape. I know that he knows that I have already escape. He will search and kill everyone in this world to get his hands on me. I am his prized possession after all. "

Everyone stares at Amaya shock. Their eyes showing sympathy as they hear their childhood friend. Shu holds Amaya hands as comfort. Tears drops down on her dress. Amaya wipes the tears away,barely realizing that she was crying. 

"Any questions?" Amaya croaked out.
