I'll Never Let You Go • AyatoxYui (EDITING!!!)

Chapter 13

It was quiet in first-class after dinner, since the men had gone to enjoy brandy and poker in one of the first glass drawing rooms. The women had all retired to their bedrooms for tea or to sleep. Cordelia and Richter had both entered the suite to discuss their plans for Ayato when they finally reached land. Beautrix left the pair in the main seating area in disgust for their openly flirtatious relationship. The blonde vampire entered her room and made her way towards the closest window to the door.

She stood still observing the sea and small glaciers floating that appeared to be growing the further the ship travelled. Her cold blue eyes scanned the remaining area until her vision locked on a bundle of white table clothes floating. They slowly started to separate and flow in different directions from the seas current. Her eyes widened in shock at the site from her window. What she could only guess as her fellow vampire from her white hair, was Christa's mangled body with pints of blood seeping out into the ocean.

Beautrix had never once feared for her life, but only their sons could commit such a gruesome murder. She could not decide on telling Cordelia and Richter or leaving it to let them suffer first. Would her sons do such horrifying things to her? Could they ever hate her as much as Subaru did in that moment? Her body was frozen. She felt like she was suffocating. The blonde vampire knew she had to stop the boys before they had a chance to make their move on the last three remaining undead adults aboard.

She closed the heavy burgundy curtains and made her way over to her dresser to change for bed. Once she was in her long, silk nightgown she turned all the lights off and blew out the candles on her bedside table, then she got into bed. Thousands of scenes played in her mind of death, marriage and her family. She had to get Shu away from that boy to get the inheritance from Tougo, if she made it to the end of their voyage.

Beautrix got out of bed and walked out of her bedroom, receiving confused looks from the pair of vampires still sat in the lounge. She was determined to get her son back, for the sake of her reputation and the money. Beautrix stood in the hallway looking around for any member of staff she could find, not caring about her attire. Swiftly, navigating herself through the numerous hallways she finally spotted a butler. He had grey hair slicked back and wore a black suit and white shirt completed with a black bow tie. He wore rectangular silver glasses that rested on the edge of his nose attached to a simple silver chain around his neck. The blonde vampire gripped his right shoulder and turned him around.

"I am Beautrix of the Sakamaki household and I need you to complete a small task for me, it'll only take a few hours." She smirked at him. The butler could sense the evil aura surrounding the woman and thought it best not to disobey her.

"Of course my lady, what is it you would like me to do?" He smiled at her bowing his head slightly. Beautrix leg go of his shoulder and turned her attention to his golden name badge on his left side.

"Well Edward, I would like you to find a tall, brunette boy wearing a black uniform and kill him, then bring my son back who is with him." Beautrix stated reaching into her robe pocket to pull out a picture of the pair taken by Richter. Her persuasive stare never left the butler's eyes. "Oh and take these as payment for your service." Beautrix reached up and toke out her sapphire encrusted earrings, then she placed them in the butlers front pocket below his name tag.

"Thank you my lady, I shall complete this task as efficiently as possible." Edward replied bowing. They both turned away from each other, Beautrix going back to the comfort of her bedroom and Edward to the lower decks to find a suitable weapon.

A pair of figures ran through numerous corridors dodging staff and passengers, receiving strange looks and verbal complaints. Neither of them acknowledged or listened to them, the pair just carried on running. Both vampires had smiles plastered across their faces and were still holding hands from when Shu had dragged Yuma away from his mother.
