Chapter 2: Stairway to Heaven
Dream
Bright light bothers my eyes, before opening them I squeezed them tightly and found myself standing on water. I look towards my feet and make eye contact with myself but in human form.
I kneel over the water and touch with my index finger my other self, the reflection of me follows my movements as we finally make contact with each other.
But for a minute the other me's eyes turned red and grinned maniacally at me. I stood up and back away from my own reflection but unfortunately it followed my every movement, while I was backing away I came in contact with something hard.
I turned around and saw a tree. A beautiful tree with bloomed flowers and tiny cocoons, I smiled at it. My hand reached towards the tree, touching it's rough trunk. Suddenly I hear a deep mysterious voice.
" All will be made clear, in the course of nature...Eve ".
My head turned to look at both sides to see who said those words but I couldn't find the source of the voice.
" Eve... "
End
I opened my eyes and sit up from where I was lying down. I turned my head and saw that the sun was setting.
" This is not the Sakamaki Mansion... " I scratched my head while I looked around what I think was the living room.
" You're finally awake " A recognizable voice spoke.
I turn to look at the owner of the voice.
" Ruki-san... " I smiled and stood up, he did the same and we both walked towards each other.
His beautiful blue-grey eyes stared deeply into mine, he put his arms around my waist while I did the same but around his slender neck.
" You kept your promised.. " I mumbled against his neck.
" Of course I did, Eve. You are so important to us " He stated.
I let go of him and smiled happily.
" Koneko-chan~ I missed you! " Cold arms wrapped themselves around my waist making me smile. There's only one person who calls me by that nickname...
" Kou-kun! " I spun around,giggling and gave Kou a big bear hug.
" Oi! Kou, don't keep her all to yourself " Yuuma protested grabbing the back of Kou's neck.
His arms left mine and were replaced by bigger ones.
" Heh, looks like we are finally reunited Risu " He responded while tousling my hair.
Pouting my lips, I noticed Azusa hidding his mouth with his hand.
" Azusa-kun " I walked towards him and poked his nose.
" Eve...I...finally get...to...see...you...again " He grabbed my hand and held it tightly.
" This is the mansion we all live in and of course your new home Koneko-chan~! "
My eyes were suddenly wide open.
" W-what? No, I belong at the Sakamaki household! " I furrowed my eyebrows.
" Belong? " Ruki coldly asked, " You want to go back to that place? ".
Breathing heavily I turned to look at Ruki.
" You were treated as a plaything by them,were you not? "
" That's not true! " I objected.
" Even if I stay here, you guys would do the same thing! " I bit my lip, regretting what I just said.
Ruki glared at me and I trembled a little.
" How dare you compare us to them? " He asked coldly, " Unlike them, we at least have some sense ".
" Don't treat them like that- " I was interrupted by an annoyed voice.
" Man, how annoying! You are defending those despicable vampires! " Kou exclaimed bitterly.
" They are not despi- " Again I was interrupted.
" Just shut up and obey us! " Yuuma demanded.
I looked away from them and clenched my fist.
" After all we need Eve's blood to choose the Adam among us.. " Ruki put his hand on my shoulder.
I glared towards him as tears threaten to fall from my eyes.
" Eve..." Azusa mumbled.
Ruki sighed , " Come. I will show you to your room ".
I nodded and followed him.
In her room
I was sitting on the soft bed, looking towards my hands. Ruki sit beside me and put his hand over mine.
" I apologize for talking to you that way " He quietly said.
I shook my head, " No. It's me who should be apologizing, it was very rude of me to compare you guys to the Sakamakis. Each one of you is different from the other and I love all of you guys the same ".
Ruki took my hand and kissed it.
" I accept your apology Juliett " He mumbled against my hand, " I must go, I have some matters to attend to... "
" Yes, of course " I nodded my head.
Ruki stood up and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Sakamaki Mansion
Ayato sat on the single couch and scoffed, " Damn...I can't find Ran anywhere ".
Laito pouted " Seriously, where did Chou-chan run off to~? "
" I'm so thirsty... " Kanato sadly mumbled and hide his cute face behind Teddy.
" Any idea, Subaru-kun? " Laito questioned.
" How would I know? " Subaru looked away.
Shuu yawned " She'll come back eventually ".
" I hope you are right..." Reiji sighed.
