Diabolik Soulmates

~Chapter 30~

Kana's POV:

"Kana..."

A voice echoes through the darkness.

"Kana"

It gains my attention.

"Kana...Wake up"

The voice beckons me awake from my peaceful slumber, and I find myself lying face towards Kanato, while he still sleeps soundly.

"Quickly Kana" The voice continues to speak in my mind.

At first I thought it was a dream, but the voice is so familiar that it can't be just a hallucination. Repeating the sound in my head, I can finally pick who the voice belongs to, causing my eyes to widen in realisation.

"Beary?" I stare down at the unmoving stuffed bear ticked snugly in my arms.

"It's a full moon, Kana" She informs me.

Of course how could I have forgotten?

That explains Beary's sudden awakening. Her tone of voice sounds more rushed and slightly on edge than usual, I wonder what has her so frazzled all of a sudden? Looking back up at Kanato's closed eyelids, I decide that I f I want to talk to Beary more in private, I need to be in a more quieter environment.

Rolling over under the sheets, I stealthily slip from the bed and tip toe across the carpeted floor. Reaching the door, I turn the knob silently and hoping that it doesn't emit a metallic creaking, which it doesn't. Successfully securing the door behind me, I cradle Beary in my arms and look down at her, beginning our conversation once again as I continue aimlessly down the hall.

"You must hurry Kana, you're in grave danger" She warns mysteriously.

"What do you mean? Kanato won't hurt us anymore, you don't have to worry" I assure her with a small smile, as I think of Kanato.

"I am aware he is incapable of harming us greatly, but he is not the imminent threat at the time"

"Then who?" I question further.

" 'He' will come, and will not stop until you're dead. You and your sisters"

Stopping dead in my tracks, I stare down at Beary with my eyes wide in terror.

"No, he can't!" I exclaim in almost a whisper.

"It has been foretold"

Standing frozen in the hallway, I clutch Beary even closer and squeeze her harder in horror. It can't possibly be true, is death by my father really my end? My mind flashes back to all those times father would strangle me, all for nothing, and I would almost pass out. Perhaps this time, when he comes to kill us all, once he has his hands clamped around my neck and black spots cloud my vision...I'll never wake up.

As if I was currently being choked, all the air begins to leave my lungs and I desperately suck in gulps of oxygen.

"Kana, there is a way to avoid this fate..." She continues on, her cryptic words ringing in my now throbbing head.

Hyperventilating, I drop to my knees as I feel a stabbing pain in my chest cavity, where my heart beat increases vastly in speed. Letting out silent cries of pain, burning tears leak endlessly from my eyes in salty streams. My entire body turns numb from the agony, my tiny figure slumping fully on the floor as I'm still gasping for air.

"Listen carefully Kana..." Beary ignores the fact that I'm suffering above her.

"I refuse to be weak!" I gasp out, using my clenched hand to claw myself across the carpet.
