Raiya's POV:
We came into what looked like a gathering room, a throne sitting in the back. Bella stood near the back, looking nervously between us. Carla and Shin dumped us in front of it, Carla taking a seat while Shin stood by his side, looking extra smug. I scowled, putting my arm around Subaru as he growled, ready to go off at any given moment. His knife that I had always kept in my side ever since he left dug into my side, giving me a reminder that we could possibly win this.
"Calm down. We will talk like civilized beings." Carla all but hissed.
"Civilized my ass. If you wanted to talk like civilized people, you wouldn't have kidnapped me."
"Don't talk to Nii-san like that."
"You wanna go eyepatch? You must think you're so fucking edgy wearing that when you just look like a five-year-old wanting to play pirates with your nii-san."
Shin suddenly appeared in front of me, his hand wrapping tightly around my neck. He had a dark shadow over his face and anger shined brightly in his golden eyes. I didn't back down, grinning at the enraged man in front of me. Subaru looked panicked, about to move but I side-eyed him, mouthing no.
"Can't...take...the truth?" I choked out.
"Shin!"
The said male clicked his tongue before releasing me and returning to his brother's side. I fell onto my knees, coughing as I inhaled air desperately, Subaru rubbing my back as he glared at Shin.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Susu."
"Now that we've all...calmed down, I would like to propose something," Carla said.
"I won't listen to anything you say."
"Simply put," Carla continued, ignoring me. "I want her blood for personal purposes."
"No," Subaru said.
"I was not talking to you, lowlife. Now woman, if you agree to give us that, I will spare your lover's life. Some conditions are that you are never to leave this mansion and we can have your blood whenever we want."
"Spare Subaru's life?" I parroted back.
"Yes. Now you better hurry and decide before I change my life."
I bit my bottom lip, to the point where I drew blood. Without hesitating, I nodded my head.
"You have a deal."
"Raiya!"
"Shut up Susu. I won't let them do anything to you."
I stood up on wobbly legs, bringing the knife out of the side of my jeans and handed it to him, giving him a small smile. With a brief kiss on his lips, I walked towards them only to stopped by an arm wrapping around my leg. Looking back, Subaru was looking up at me with a lost and desperate look, nearly ripping my heart apart.
"Please don't go, Rose. I'm begging you."
I opened my mouth to answer when I felt a familiar chill run down my back. Feeling those familiar eyes on me, I turned around and saw Cordelia standing near the throne, the biggest grin on her red lips.
"It's time." I heard her whisper.
Suddenly, my heartbeat increased rapidly and I felt the most excruciating pain. Whimpering, I fell into Subaru's arms as sweat began forming on my forehead.
"Su...Subaru."
"Oi, what's happening?!"
"The Awakening is coming. I cannot have her blood ruined with her becoming one of you. Shin."
The blonde nodded, pulling me away from Subaru. I could barely fight back, my eyes threatening to close. He pushed me towards Carla while holding back Subaru. Carla slapped my cheeks before gripping them tightly, nails digging into my skin.
"What a bad time for this. Now that the Awakening is here, I do not care whether you live or not. I will be taking all of your blood now, whether you stay in this world or not."
With those words, he pulled my shirt down, digging his fangs into my shoulder. I hissed, trying to get out but he sucked stubbornly at a fast pace. Cordelia looked angry, an expression I had never seen on her before.
"I will not let him win," she screamed.
She fought for control over my body but I didn't let her have it. Instead, I looked her straight in the eye as I grinned, flipping her the finger.
"I would rather die."
I felt my body become heavy as my eyes succumbed to the darkness.
3RD POV:
Subaru froze as he watched Carla continue to suck the lifeless girl's blood, her heartbeat making no sound. Karlheinz watched from through his familiar's eyes, shaking his head as a bit of anger coursed through his veins at the disruption from the two firstbloods.
"I will lend you my power just this one, Subaru."
With a snap of his finger, Subaru's body was now overflowing with his father's power. His eyes widened as power flowed through him and he wasted no time, gripping the knife in his hand tightly and maneuvering himself in Shin's hold. Breaking his arm without a flinch, he embedded the knife where the younger firstblood's heart sat. His eyes widened and he looked at the knife before turning to dust. Facing Carla, Subaru twirled the knife in his hands. The King threw the girl to the side, eyeing the dust pile that once was Shin.
"He was always too impulsive and weak yet why am I feeling some sort of sadness?"
"Stop your yapping. You killed her."
"She is only your prey, isn't she? I don't understand why you would care for such a woman."
He looked at her cold body, the ring he had given her twinkling like her eyes always did when she looked at him. Her white shirt now had blood on the collar and her blonde hair was a mess. Feeling his anger take over, he lunged at Carla who barely had time to dodge his attack.
"You... You're suddenly stronger."
"Shut up!"
They played this game of cat and mouse before Carla got tired of it.
"Enough."
With that word, he punched Subaru across the cheek, sending him flying at the wall. It crumbled under the impact and the male groaned in pain, dust covering his figure.
"You can never hope to beat me because it will never happen. That woman is dead and there is nothing you can do about it."
The dust cleared but Subaru no longer sat there. Instead, he stood behind a surprised Carla, his knife pointed at his back.
"Go to hell."
He pushed the knife in, stabbing Carla's unmoving heart. It didn't take much for him to dissolve into dust like his brother, leaving a panting Subaru. Karlheinz smiled proudly at the scene before summoning his familiar back, knowing that Subaru will do the right thing even without him watching. Subaru ran to Raiya's body, holding her with tender arms.
"Raiya?"
The female didn't respond, more like she couldn't.
"Raiya, wake up," Subaru said stubbornly.
He shook her gently but there was still no response. This was the second time in Subaru's life that he had felt such dread and fear, along with the heart crippling sadness. Tears gathered in his eyes as he held the cold body close.
"God, please, don't take her away from me." he sobbed.
Suddenly remembering his father's power, he willed everything he had into reviving her.
"C'mon, I know you're stronger than this Rose!" he yelled.
A bright light surrounded them and Subaru closed his eyes as warmth enveloped him. The body he was holding suddenly became warmer, indicating that life was flowing through Raiya once again. A small whimper was heard before Raiya opened her pink eyes, looking around confusedly.
"Susu?"
