You considered the two of the for a moment before choosing the seat next to Kanato, who spared you a single glance before turning back to his food, which appeared to be just a plate of macarons. You looked down at your own plate and you were relieved to see it was just two simple slices of toast, with little pots of butter and an assortment of spreads beside it. You looked around the table to see that none of them were eating, the heavy atmosphere almost choking you. You wondered whether to break the ominous silence, and just as you drew breath to speak Reiji cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
"As you already know, we attend night school. You will be required to attend as well. Any unreasonable absence will be punished and low grades are unacceptable. If you attempt to tell anyone of your situation, either you, the person you told, or both of you will be killed. Am I clear?"
"Yes..." you replied quietly, eyes on the plate before you in order to avoid looking at any of the vampires at the table.
"Good. Each school day begins at eight thirty p.m and finishes at three a.m, with an hour lunch break at twelve. Majority of your classes will have one of the triplets in, so do not attempt to run or cause any unnecessary hassle. You will be expected to behave in an exemplary manner whilst on school grounds and in public, although some of us don't seem to remember that." Laito gave a light chuckle and, beside you, Kanato gave a small growl.
"That bastard insulted Teddy. You should have let me kill him, then that man wouldn't have heard about the medical bills." He spat, shooting Reiji a glare.
"Absolutely not. Your behaviour was unacceptable. It wouldn't do to have police inquiring into our family, and you know that." Reiji reprimanded, and Kanato gave a huff of annoyance, snatching up his fork and stabbing it down onto his plate over and over, reducing his breakfast (if you could call it that) to mere crumbs as he gave a peal of maniacal laughter. You cautiously edged your chair away from him, regretting your earlier choice of seating. He noticed and turned to you with a sickeningly sweet smile.
"Hey, Y/N. You like Teddy, don't you?" He questioned, and you froze like a deer in the headlights, not knowing how you should respond. "Well?"
"O-of course I do. He's really cute!" You answered, and Kanato gave a furious yell, suddenly lunging for you, the fork in his hand aiming straight for your eye. You gave a scream, throwing yourself out of your chair just on time to avoid the prongs of the fork entering your eye, instead only getting a shallow scratch on the side of your face.
"You're a liar! You don't like Teddy at all! You're a horrible horrible woman! I hate you!" He shouted, throwing you roughly against the table. Your elbow crashed into the jug on the table and you watched in a dazed horror as the sticky orange juice spilled all over Teddy, covering every inch of the stuffed toy. There was a moment of deadly silence before you were suddenly weightless, flying through the air. You cried out as you smashed into a wall, the impact cracking several of your ribs. You gasped wordlessly as you hit the floor, waves of agony crashing through you. A shadow fell over you and you looked up to see Kanato standing over you, expression beyond fury.
"P-please...I'm sorry..."
"You'll pay for getting Teddy dirty with your life!" He screamed, reaching down and grabbing you by the collar, yanking you to your feet and slamming you back into the wall so forcefully that it cracked. Your eyes vaguely registered the other vampires in the background watching without compassion as Kanato stabbed his fork deep into the side of your neck, wrenching it back out so violently that blood sprayed onto his clothes, staining his white shirt a crimson red. You gurgled helplessly as a cold numbness overtook you, the blood gushing from your neck warming your cooling skin.
"Now Kanato, that was rather unfair of you...only one of us had a taste of this bitch-chan." Laito complained, appearing next to Kanato and peering down at you. "And you got blood all over her uniform...that'll never wash out on time for the next bitch-chan to wear."
"I don't care!" Kanato snapped, giving your leg a kick that you barely felt. "She insulted Teddy then she got him dirty! It's despicable! It's terrible! It's—"
"Kanato, go and clean yourself up." Reiji interrupted the lilac haired boy's rant impatiently. "Your appearance is deplorable. I'll get a familiar to clean this mess up."
"I'll have to find a way to explain this to that man...how bothersome." Shu sighed, slowly making his way over to you, crouching before you as he gazed into your eyes. "Not even twenty four hours...how pathetic." His electric blue eyes were the last thing you saw before you gave in to the crushing numbness in your chest.
You have died.
Try again?
