Frisson (Diabolik lovers)

Punishment. Shuu

It's a dark and gloomy nigh. We are running through the forest towards a village. The stench of smoke, ashes and burned flesh is getting stronger and more sickening with each step, but he seems to be unfazed by it as he's trying to find his way through the woods. But it's not that hard - even though it's a night, the sky looks like the sun is about to rise. That light is where we have to head to. We can already tell that we are really close to our destination because air around us is getting warmer and warmer. Finally, we got our way through the bushes and there it was - an entire village was being devoured by the hot flames. This heat is starting to get unbearable even from this spot we are standing at, I couldn't even imagine what humans were feeling in the middle of the fire right now, but their screams said it all.

He wanted to run in there. He wanted to save his family. I've tried to stop him, but he just wasn't listening to me. I took a few steps closer towards the burning building. Wind was getting stronger and the air around us was getting even hotter.

It's so hot in here. This heat is unbearable. It's too hot to even take a deep breath...

What is this? Suddenly, something is touching my cheek. It's wet and warm. I look around. I'm no longer in front of the village - I'm in her bath.

"Oh you vulgar woman, you want me, don't you?" I smirk at her and reach my arms towards her.

"Come here,' I whisper as I get closer to her neck. I was about to sink my fangs into her neck, when...

*SMACK*

"Seriously, I would've expected Laito to do this kind of things with a camel - not you." My eyes shot wide open. Camel was right in front of my face. I had my arms around it's neck as I was about to bite it.

For a moment, I laid there, frozen, confused and really surprised. We stared into each other's eyes for a while, when it licked my face once again. I closed my mouth shut and slowly removed my arms from the damn licking machine. But that beast didn't move. It was still there, trying to lick my face again.

"So annoying..." I pushed it's nose away from my cheek. When I finally got that tongue away from my eyesight, I've noticed that I'm in a middle of nowhere. Sand. All I could see was sand and nothing else... Well, there was also a donkey standing just a few feets away from me.

"Stand up already. I don't have all day." And the ass has spoken.

"Yes, father," I muttered. 

"So, what's this all about," I ask while trying to get the sand out of my hair.
"Do I have to remind you something I told you over the phone not a long time ago?"

"I'm adopted?" I ask hopefully.
"No, unfortunately you are my son." A man can hope, right?

"Remember the girl?" Of course I do.
"What girl," I ask lazily.
"The girl that you were not supposed to kill!"
"Oh, that annoyance." That girl was too kind and naïve for her own good.
"But we didn't kill her - she did it herself."

"Shut up and listen, you little brat. She was supposed to stay alive, right? Right. And where is she now?"
"Buried in our backyard."

"Exactly. That's why I will punish you all, starting from you."
"Oh, so when trying to freeze me and feed me to the polar bears didn't quite work out, you've decided to send me to a heat therapy with a damn licking machine, am I right."

"Yes." Father had this smirk that I didn't like.
"Oh, and I almost forgot about something really important. You better bring that creature with you unharmed. If you fail - I will burn you alive. Go towards north and you will find humans. As for now - enjoy your time with Alice." Aaand he's gone. But it's fine. As long as I have my music, I will be alright.
