Deadly Romeo and Juliet. [2015 Watty Awards]

Posion.

Yukio's pov:

Then I fell to my knees in pain. My breathing increased and got hard. I tightly griped my chest. The world around me got foggy.

Mia's pov:

My head snapped up when I heard someone hit the ground. I felt my appearance return to normal as I rushed to his side.

"Yukio, are you okay?!" I asked frantically.

Then I was roughly pushed way by Bon and Rin.

"What did you do to my brother?" Rin hissed.

"Nothing!" I said.

"I want to believe that, but there's just to much suspicion. With you enrolling late, getting so many guns and being whatever you are." Bon said.

My eyes began to water as I looked at them. I've only been good to them and they think I could to this to the boy I'm falling in love with.

I felt my features change into the monster that I am. I pushed them away and picked Yukio up. Then instantly pushed off into the air.

"I'll see you guys back at True Cross." I declared and flew away.

I flew to True Cross hospital. I tried my hardest to control my panic and fear so that they wouldn't see... this thing that I am.

I took Yukio in and doctors came to help. They asked me so many questions that I didn't have the answer for.

What happened?

I don't know.

Do you know what's wrong with him?

I don't know.

Medical history?

I don't know.

What is your relation?

None. I'm only a friend.

They left me in the waiting room and told me to stay strong. I can't do that though. As soon as people were out of sight I opened the window. Then I jumped out. My wings came out mid fall as I flew. I went to Mephisto's office, essentially crashing through his window.

"What am I?" I demanded to know.

"Human, of course." He stated with a smile.

"No, it's more than that." I declared, motioning to all the new, nonhuman characteristics I have.

"Yes. Well. Hmmm. There is heaven, earth, and hell. It those reside angels, humans, and demons. Now, there is a class of subhumans with undefined powers. They are unexplainable or unknowns. This is what you are." He explained.

"How did I get this? Why do you know?" I asked.

"I know this because those fortune tellers came to me one night and explained it to me. You got it from your parents, who died when you were three in a car crash with your brother. You wandered to them afterwards and raised you very well, keeping you safe and suppressing your powers until now." He told me.

I was completely gobsmacked. I crippled in the floor, crying.

"Juliet, are you okay?" Mephisto asked me.

I shook my head, "No. I had a brother I didn't know about, I'm a monster, my parents didn't abandon me, Yukio's sick, it's my fault." I cried.

"Why would you think it's your fault?" he asked.

"Just that feeling." I stated.

"Now Juliet, your not a monster and it's not your fault. Romeo will be fine. Put your wings away, sit down and let me make some calls." he said.

I calmed myself enough to sit in a chair. I pulled my knees up to my chest and closer my eyes, silently crying.

"Mhmm, yes. I see. Very well. Bye." Mephisto said on the phone, then hung up.

"Your Romeo seems to have himself some poison." He told me.

"He's been poisoned." I mumbled.

"Yes, he has. Maybe you should go to the hospital too, you have a nasty burn on your leg." He stated.

"I don't care." I said through muffled words.

"Then you should get to bed, its been a long day." He suggested.

I slowly stood up and slugged to the door. That's when it busted open. Stood there was a very pissed looking Rin. He slowly came toward me, with a murderous look in his eyes.

The look in his eyes struck fear in me as I backed up. It made my eyes burn as they changed color. My wings came out again.

"What the hell did you do to my brother?!" He yell at me.

I cringed back. "Nothing! I swear!" I shouted.

"Lies!" he yelled and lashed out at me.

I put my arms up in defense. We fell to the ground. I was scared shitless.

"Do you realize the situation? Everyone is at the hospital with, Yukio, my brother! He's really sick! And it's your fault!" he yelled.

"I know it's my fault," I cried, "I failed to protect him. Trust me, I know it's my fault. And I'd be at the hospital too but everyone hates me. I know the situation, I know he's sick, I know he's your brother and you want to protect him. But I would not do this on purpose." The tears streamed down my cheeks.

Rin rolled off of me and laid beside me in the floor. My wings curled around me in defense.

"Do you like him?" Rin asked me.

"More than you think but I'm just another fangirl." I told him.

"I don't think he sees you that way." He stated.

"Yeah, whatever you say." I declared and stood up. I calmly stood up and put my wings away.

"I mean it." He insisted.

"I'll see ya around." I declared.

I walked out of the building. I went strait to the dorm.

I went in and dropped all my stuff in the floor. I stopped caring and took off my clothes down to nothing but underclothes and my tank top.

I crawled into my bed and curled into a ball. Then covered up, silently crying.

"Mai, are you gonna fix dinner?" Amaimon asked like a little kid, while coming into my room.

"Uh, yeah. Give me just a sec." I said, wiping my face and sitting up.

"Mai, where you crying?" he asked.

"Yes Amaimon, I was." I stated.

"I have enough candy, go back to bed." He said, I nodded.

I got back under the blankets and curled up. But I feel terrible, alone.

"Amaimon!" I shouted.

"Yes?" he said coming back into my room.

"Can you lay with me?" I asked lowly.

He got into bed with me. I curled up against him. He lightly rubbed my back.

"I-I don't know w-what's happened or t-to do. E-everything has c-changed." I cried.

"Shhhh," he whispered, "it'll be okay."

"I-I hope s-so. Y-Yukio is sick. Poison. H-he was p-poisoned." I continued to cry.

"Shhh, now. He'll be fine." He hushed.

I slowly cried myself to sleep to the sound of Amaimon's shhh's.
