The Real Eve | Diabolik Lovers (COMPLETED)

Chapter 35: I love you

It was another day at the orphanage. The men were coming and I tried all I could to hide and protect the orphans. Ruki, Azusa and Edgar were out in the meadow, meaning they had no clue of what was happening.

I looked in front of me, jolting at the sound of the door violently hitting the wall. Tears fell down my face as I held on to Tammy who had her head hidden in my chest and her arms around my waist. She cried, her body shaking when the men had finally caught us.
I looked up at the men in disgust, their laughs echoing around the room.

"Seems to me like this little bitch has misbehaved again!" One of the men stormed up to me and grabbed me by the hair, causing me to scream and let go of Tammy who begged them to let me go.
I gritted my teeth harshly and fought back my screams.

"How many fucking times do we need to tell you?!" The man yelled, yanking me up to I was face to face with him, my hair ripping in the process.
I grunted, closing my eyes and trying to ignore the pain.
"You can't escape" he mumbled before striking me right across the face with the back of his hand, his gold ring creating a mark next to my eye. The orphans gasped and watched as the man smirked and started dragging me out of the room.
"Take your punishment and learn something from it, piece of shit" he spat.
The door closed, leaving the orphans and Tammy in the room with one of the men as the rest followed behind me.
I started struggling, whines and groans escaping my throat at the pain in my scalp.
I was suddenly thrown in a familiar room, my back hitting against the cold concrete floor that made me hiss.
Laughing echoed around the room and I was surprised when I looked up.
It was Emilio. He was holding his hand up to one of his eyes and blood running down it.
"Oh Emilio..." I whispered.
"What did they do to you..." I crawled next to him and rested my hand on his shoulder. He was trembling, violently.
I had my back turned to the adults, but a moment later I could feel two hands tear the back of my shirt roughly.
I flinched but I didn't fight back.
My shirt was ripped all the way and my back was fully revealed.
Emilio turned his gaze to me and for a moment it felt like everything was going in slow motion.
"Eve! Look out-!" He was too late.

A familiar, seething hot pain ran down my shoulder blade, making me cry out and squeeze my eyes shut.
No... not again.
I covered my mouth with my hand and felt hot tears run down my face. My back was burned and abused again by the man who scoffed in disgust.
"That'll teach you, little minx" he spoke, earning a frown from both I and Emilio. The silence after that was deafening, a high pitched ring was in my ear and all I wanted to do was crawl up and cry. The men laughed and slammed the door shut, leaving both Emilio and I alone in the dark.
I completely ignored the pain in my back, deciding to turn all of my attention to Emilio who was still clutching his right eye. I flung an arm around his shoulder and pulled him close to me, the heat from his body radiating onto my ice cold skin which made him flinch.
"Eve... y-you're so cold" His teeth chattered as he spoke. He wasn't cold, but rather nervous and afraid. Emilio kept trying to catch his breath but because of the shock, he kept choking on his own words and coughing.
I rubbed his back softly, resting my head on his and closing my eyes.
I was tired, I couldn't deny the fact that I was possibly dozing over but I was no where near a bed or anywhere cozy.
Emilio looked at me for a while and he seemed to stop shaking, his eyes meeting mine and staring at them for what seemed and incredibly long time. I couldn't control my consciousness anymore and my heart was pounding in my chest.
I didn't want to go to sleep, I had to make sure Emilio was okay! But, I can't...!
My thoughts crumbled and I let my eyes completely shut over, my consciousness vanishing and the darkness taking me into the land of sleep.

Emilio looked down at his friend and his heart made his chest feel sore. Something was telling him to get her out of here before the men and women came back, and he had to do it quick.
The young boy removed his hand from his missing eye, instead using it to lift up Eve and carry her in his arms.
He struggled lifting her. Not at the fact that she was heavy, but because he was on the verge of passing out and he had to find a way out of the room.
Busting the door open with his leg, he stumbled across the dingy hallways of the orphanage, finding his way back to the room where everyone else was.
The door was slightly opened which gave Kou an easier way to enter.
He pushed the door open to reveal the orphans, cramped and huddled together like a pack of baby wolves. Their eyes widened when they saw that he was carrying Eve.
The older orphans stood up as quick as they would and ran over to Emilio to take Eve from his arms.
He flinched back, causing them to stop and stare at him.
"She's injured, she needs bandages and a bed to sleep in" He spoke in a saddened tone.
