Yui's pov

My eyelids felt heavy, but I opened them, and I see the surroundings of my room.

"Yui?" I heard someone calling me.

I turn my head to the side of the bed, my eyes completely open.

"Ayato?"

I sat up, and touched my cheek where Sakura scratched me, and I feel a bandage covering it.

"Yui, tell me what happened?" Ayato says.

If I tell him the truth he'll be disappointed in me, and everyone else.

"Sakura tried to kill me." I lied.

It's the first time lying to my brother. But it's for the best. I would always tell him the truth, I guess I am now a awful sister.

"She's dead, thank god Subaru taught you how to defend yourself." Ayato says.

"Am I interrupting?" we heard a voice ask.

We look to see Reiji, his arms crossed against his chest, and looking at us with no expression.

"What do you want four-eyes." Ayato says.

"Father will be arriving today with guests, so be ready." Reiji says.

"Anything else?" Ayato asks raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, Yui's medication." Reiji says, walking to me, and handing me a potion. "Drink it, and your scratch will heal in an hour." he says.

"Thank you Reiji." I said with a smile.

"Come on Ayato, let Yui prepare herself." Reiji says.

Ayato stood up, and walks out of my room with Reiji. I took the cap off of the vessel, and drank it. I got out of bed, went to my closet, and took out my clothes for today.

I turn my head to the balcony, and remembering last night. The night I killed a human. I am a human, and I can't help but feel bad about it. I killed one of my own kind. I guess I'm longer the innocent.

I snapped my out of my thoughts, and left my room. Everything was silent, and I started to walk down the hallway.

"Yui!"

I heard a woman's voice shouting my name. I turn around, but I saw nothing, I guess it's just my imagination. I turn foward, and continued to walk.

"Yui!"

I heard it again, I turned around and saw nothing or nobody there. Instead of walking to the living room, I walk to where the voice was.

"Yui come closer."

I hear the voice coming from the locked room, that has been locked since Cordelia's death. I stand in front of the door, my breathing steady, and looking at the door. The chains break, and a loud thud heard.

"Enter."

I hesitate at first, but then I took slow steps, and push the door. A creak being heard by the door, and I let myself in.

The room looks dusty, some of the furniture is covered, there are books on the shelves, jewelry on a table, and painting pictures.

I somehow feel something, like I could sense calling me. It wasn't the voice, but there is something that I could sense.

I turn my head to the bookshelves, I walk where the back of the bookshelf is. I look behind it and I see a small treasure box. I pull it out of the shelf, it was covered in dust.

It must have been years ago, when they put this here. I gently open the box, inside there was a diary, and a rose that hasn't even died.

What really got my attention is the rose, I pick it up, but I feel a sharp thorn cuts my finger, and now it's bleeding.

At the same time I felt something change. I saw a castle, thunder rumbling, and I hear wolves howling. The scene then changes it's now raining, I see a guy running like someone is chasing him, he fell with a loud thud, he was stabbed in the back. Behind him there was seven men. The one who stabbed the guy, looks up at me, walks to where I am but then the scene changes.

I see a man with a woman, and a man holding something in there arms, like a baby figure. I then find myself, in a snowing place.

"Yui."

I heard someone said, I turned around, and I saw a the killer holding a sword right in front of me, I backed away, but then I accidentally fell. I then found myself in the dusty old room again.

"It has awaken..." a whisper said.

My heart was beating fast, and my breathing panting. I look back at my finger that has a cut, but I didn't see no cut.

The rose was gone, I didn't have it in my hand anymore, it wasn't on the floor either. I got up, I walk to the small treasure box, and took out the diary. I flipped through some pages, a small picture fell off of the diary. I pick it up, the picture is cut in half, and there is a woman holding a baby wrapped in a pink blanket. They both have blonde hair, and the woman has red eyes.

I still don't know why a voice will lead me here, and the rose showing me something I never seen before. Did my brothers use to have a sister before me? Or is this one of Cordelia's friends? Did my father Karl Heinz leave this here?

My mind is with so many questions right now. I must find out about the truth. This is something I can't avoid. Roght now I need to go downstairs with the rest, or else they might think I am taking my time.
