Eve [Diabolik Lovers]

{10- The Way It Has To Be}

During the night, Yui was taken away by Shuu-san to have her blood taken once again. I stayed in my room, looking out the window, just to keep my mind off things. 

I don't want to stop Shuu from sucking Yui's blood, because she is their prey and I don't want to interrupt him. But my feelings for Shuu-san, Subaru-san, and Reiji-san are getting in the way of my thoughts. What would father think of me if he knew I had developed feelings for them? 

He once told me that demons are not allowed to feel ay emotion. We do what we want without thinking nor feeling such empathy for others. Feelings get in the way of what we have to do, and he says it's a nuisance. . .

Father will be most displeased if he were to find out. . . 

"Eve." My eyes widen at the sound of his voice. 

He's here! 

I gasp and turn around to see Father with a mean glare on his face. I can't tell what he's thinking right now, but what I do know is that he is angry with me. "F-Father, I can explain-" 

"Quiet." He cuts me off and my lips are sealed. I look down at my feet and wait for him to say something else. "What is the meaning of this? Why are you here!?" His voice roars within my ears, causing my body to shake and have goosebumps. "You're suppose to be with the Mukami's so the project can be complete!" 

"I know. . . It's just that. . . Something happened and Subaru-san brought me here because-" Father doesn't let me finish. Instead, he slaps me with the back of his hand and I fall to the ground, followed by a grunt. 

"I don't want to hear your silly excuses!" 

"Y-Yes, father. . . Forgive me. . ." I hold my cheek and frown, avoiding to make eye contact because I know better than to look at the Demon Lord in the eyes. 

Father grabs my wrist tightly and yanks me up off the floor. "You are going back to those brothers so they can be awakened by your blood." 

"Yes, father. . . I understand. . . I didn't mean to disobey you. . ." 

"Good. Now then," He takes out a sharp dagger and my eyes widen. 

"Father, please no!" I struggle under his grip, hopefully to get away. But his grip on my wrist tightens, making me whimper in pain. "I won't disobey you again, I promise!" I cry out. 

"I know you won't, because this will teach you a very valuable lesson~" He smirks as he chuckles darkly as he turns me around, so that my back is against his touch,  and drapes his right arm around my waist, and holds the dagger with his left hand with the blade pressing against my throat. 

"Please, father. . ." I tear up while he tightens his grip on me. 

"Silence and know your place, Eve." He whispers in my ear. I feel the blade slowly pierce my skin and drag across my throat. I gasp sharply from the pain. "Scream, my Eve. Let them hear your voice." He drags the knife deeper in my skin and I have no choice but to screech out. 

I can feel him smirking at my pain while I screech like the Banshee that I am. This proves that nobody can bring me this great pain but my father. Him and him alone. Only he has the power to make me feel this pain. The only man I will fear. . .

I screech again as the blood pours down from my throat and staining my dress. The knife finally leaves my skin and I close my eyes because I am exhausted from the screaming. 

My father drops me to the floor and I lie there as my neck bleeds out. The last words I hear from him are, "You are nothing more than Banshee that will follow the orders of the Demon Lord, and your father. Do not make me put you in your place again. Because the next time you decide to disobey me, you will suffer something much worse than this."
