Dance Of Night (A Diabolik Lovers Fanfiction)

Chapter 34 Last Goodbye

Shu's POV

It had been a month since that night.

Ayame, I had not seen for that whole time, and I had little hopes of seeing her again. I was absolutely angered at her going away, but I knew that I would forgive her the moment I saw her again, even if I did not intend to at the moment. We had said we would face things together, yet she decided to go on her own.

I wondered if she ever thought about what she left behind.

Father broke out of the vines soon after Ayame disappeared, completely mad about her going away. We need not worry about the guests telling on my brothers helping her, since as soon as Father touched the floor, the first thing he did was kill them all. All of my brothers could get themselves untangled from the vines by then, since it seemed Ayame's absence weakened their hold on them. I myself could not, being as weak as I was and exhausted from all that had occurred.

I watched as my brothers stared in utter surprise at how the Vampire King had lost his temper, as he stood on a pool of blood, surrounded by piles of dead bodies. We had never seen him like this, no one had. His eyes glowed a terrifying red, but I was not scared when he directed them towards my own, I was actually unable to feel anything, I was completely numb.

Father walked towards me, ready to kill me in that instant, and he would have, had someone not spoken.

"Wait, Father!" said Reiji, much to my surprise.

Not even Mother, who stood behind next to Cordelia, dared to say a word to the raging Vampire King. That man then turned to him, and Reiji did not even flinch, as he spoke again.

"You might need him for later," was all he said.

A moment passed, which could as well have been hours, in which the Vampire King thought about what Reiji had said.

"Later," he repeated, savouring the word. He then grinned madly looking at me. "Later sounds lovely," he said.

After that he got closer to me and ripped off the vines that held my body in place. I immediately fell to the ground before him, and did not even bother to get myself up the floor as I stared at the ceiling, all that I could think about being how Ayame had left.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout at my brothers for letting her go, but doing that would expose them, and I did not care for that. I was in such a pain, knowing she had left me like that. All that kept my senses awake was that I knew she was safe from my Father's grasp. At least something good ha come of our departing. I did not care what could happen to me if she was safe, but why had it had to be that way?

I need not do anything about lying on the floor, since Father picked me up by my hair and carried me upstairs into one of the rooms. As he did so and I winced in pain, I could see Subaru out of the corner of my eyes, with such an angered expression. I knew he wanted to come and help me, but doing so would blow everything Ayame had tried to cover up. So I smiled at Subaru, letting him know I was fine with whatever Father did to me then, knowing at least my beloved was safe. I loved her so madly still, despite all the anger and sadness. I had to concentrate on the fact that she was safe, only on that, otherwise I would go insane with grief and pain. Subaru's eyes widened at my smile, and his look turned angrier still, as he vanished from the room.

Father threw me into the room and locked me there, as I laid and smiled at myself, knowing Ayame was safe. Maybe I had gone insane already.

It was a few minutes later that some servants entered the room and began to work on one of the walls, attaching something to it. I did not care to move to have a better look at what they were doing, as I fell asleep on the ground.
