35Hello there! Okay so recently I watched Diabolik Lovers and completely fell in love with the anime. Although some of the brother (cough cough Ayato, Kanato. Laito) freak the hell out of me, I love some of the others.
Well this came up one day and I just typed something out. I also like the Mukami brothers as well as the Sakamaki brothers so you might see them somewhere sometimes...
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of Diabolik Lovers
Well I hope you enjoy
Darkness filled her vision when she opened her eyes. Slowly, she sat up, her body aching with each movement. She could hear the scuffling of feet before the door opened and blinded her with bright lights that came from the hallway. She heard the maid who had opened the door jump in surprise to see her up.
"I'm so sorry Young Mistress, I didn't realize that you were up!" and she slowly shook her head before she made her way out of the large bed situated in the center of the room. She winced when she put her weight on her legs before she glanced over at the time on the clock. It was past nine in the evening. Her eyes narrowed before she glanced back at the maid who was scuffling around cleaning the room, changing the sheets. There was only one reason why she would clean at night.
"He's coming isn't he." her voice came out in disgust as she walked towards the large window. The maid froze before she slowly nodded her head. She knew how horrible the master could be. He kept the young mistress locked in this room for prolonged periods of time, only to have her tutors come and leave the seconds lessons were over. Even the maids were allowed in the room only to clean, and to give food to the young mistress. She glanced back to see the fifteen year old girl staring at her, waiting for a reply.
"Yes young mistress," was her reply before she stared at the young lady before her. Her eyes narrowed at the numerous bruises adorning the young girl's body before she walked over to the bathroom and started to pour out a bath. Walking back into the bedroom, she found the young mistress sitting before the large piano situated right by the window. Sheets of music scattered all around the grand piano and she saw the young mistress let out a small sigh before a soft melody filled the room. She smiled when she saw the smile appear on the young mistress's face, so different from the pained filled expressions or the blank looks she got normally. She glanced over at the bathroom and made sure the tub didn't overflow before she walked over to the piano.
She stopped playing when she heard footsteps and she looked up to see the maid staring at her with lowered eyes.
"Your bath is ready, young mistress," and she slowly nodded her head. As she walked by the maid, she paused before she turned her head to her.
"I never got to ask, what's your name?" she questioned and she saw how the maid's eyes widened at her question.
"I am not allowed to say," was the maid's timid reply and her green eyes narrowed at her.
"He told you not to tell me didn't he," the maid nodded and she turned back, anger filling her body.
"You've taken care of me since I was nine and he still forbids you from telling me your name," she whispered, her hands shaking as she spoke. She glanced back to see the solemn expression on the maid's face before she faced forward again.
"Once your done with the room, you can go. The last thing you want it to feel his wrath," the maid could see the small smile on the young mistresses face as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
Her eyes fell as she stared at the closed bathroom door. She silently prayed for the young mistress. She didn't deserve any of this. Yet despite everything that had happened, the young mistress was still kind to her and the other maids, even warning them to stay away whenever the master returned home. Silently, she finished tidying up the room before she gently placed a change of clothes for the young mistress on the newly made bed when she heard sobs coming from the closed bath room. A look of sympathy filled her face as she stepped towards the door but stopped herself. She stared at the door, her heart breaking at the sounds of the girl's sobs. Without another word, she stepped out the room, closing the door behind her.
Walking into the large bathroom, she silently locked the door behind her. She glanced at the mirror and froze. Bruises and scratches adorned her arms and legs that were visible from the short sleeved shirt and the shorts she wore. Silently, she raised her shirt up to her chest and winced at the sight of the multiple dark bruises adorning her upper body.
He would always target her upper body so that it could be covered up at all times. Glancing back at the tub, she walked over and without even removing her clothes, sank into the hot water. A small sigh escaped her lips as she hot water started to warm her body, her clothes sticking to her skin like a second layer of skin while her long black hair pooled around her. She stared down at her reflection in the water. A girl with green eyes stared up at her when a small drop of water hit the water's surface creating ripples in the otherwise still water. Her eyes widened when she realized that the water was actually tears that streamed down her face . She slowly pulled her knees up to her chest before sobs racked her body.
6 years. It had been approximately 2,136 days since her mother had left her. Abandoned her with that monster.
She froze when heard a knock at the door. She heard him calling her name, his voice sending fear throughout her body causing her to shudder. His voice was clear, meaning he was sober, she pulled her knees closer to her body when she heard him knocking on the door again. As she remained in the tub, the knocking on the door increased with the volume until she was sure that the door would break. She heard him begin to curse as his patience began to wear thin, fear enveloping her once again. The memories of the past six years filled her head causing her to choke back a scream and curled up even more.
"Open this damn door!" he yelled and she closed her eyes, her hands covering her ears. She inwardly hummed her favorite tune over and over in her head, blocking out his constant knocking and his yells at her to open the door.
After thirty minutes, the knocking stopped. She pulled her hands away from her ears before she glanced around. Silence filled the room and she let out a small sigh before she slowly stood up and headed towards the door, ignoring the water dripping down her wet clothes and body. Opening the door of the bathroom, she peeked out and let out her breath when a hand grabbed her arm, yanking her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. Her eyes widend before she whirled around to see him staring down at her, his brown eyes narrowed at her.
"You took your time," he stated, his voice dropping with each word. Her eyes widened before she took a step back while he took one forward.
"Please, don't," she pleaded but her voice fell on deaf ears when he raised his hand and swung. The sound of skin meeting skin filled the room and she fell from the force of the blow. She winced as she covered her now red cheek and she looked up with fear filled eyes as he approached her.
"I told you to open the door," he growled, his eyes full of anger at the teenage girl before him. He grabbed her by her long hair and pulled her up, ignoring her pained cries. "I thought I taught you not to ignore me."
She cried out in pain as he grabbed her arm in a bruising grip only to get slapped again.
"Shut up!" he yelled, tossing her to the ground before he kicked her in the stomach, his eyes narrowing at her curl up into a fetal position. His eyes narrowed as his anger took over him and all he could see was the woman who had left him six years ago in the young girl before him.
"This is for your stupid mother!" he screamed, kicking her again. She cried out in pain as he kicked her with so much force she couldn't breathe. He stopped when he saw her wheezing for breath before he knelt down and tilted her chin up towards him. He remained silent as he saw her eyes fill with tears as he stared down at her, brown eyes locking with green. He instantly felt guilty before he picked her up and walked over to the bed. Placing her onto the soft mattress, he pushed her wet hair away from her face and cupped her cheek in his hand. She flinched at his touch before she forced herself to look up at him. She saw the remorse on his face before he sat down on the edge of the bed and stared down at her bloodied, bruised body.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, my temper got the best of me, you know I don't mean to hurt you don't you?" he cooed and she felt disgust at his sudden change of behavior. "Its just that, you remind me so much of your mother," he whispered, taking in her black hair and green eyes, all traits of his wife and the woman who had left him for another years ago. He saw his daughter curl up into the fetal position, her body shaking before he slowly stood up.
"Make sure you change into some dry clothes, you're going to catch a cold," was his last words before he walked out. The sound of a lock clicking filled the room before she burst into sobs.
She needed to get away, away from this hell, even if it killed her.
She remained in her wet clothes for a few minutes before she slowly sat up and glanced over to see the dry clothes the maid had set out earlier on the edge of the bed. Grabbing it, she quickly changed, ignoring the shiver that racked her body and the pain from the newly formed bruises. Once she was done changing, she glanced around the room until her eyes stopped at the window. Her eyes narrowed at the large window before she rushed over and pulled it open, revealing the balcony. Rushing over to the edge, she glanced down and inwardly gulped at the distance from the ground to her balcony. She glanced over at the clock and smiled when she saw that it was close to midnight. She head a car door close below and she looked down to see the man she called 'father' step into the sleek black car before it drove away. Her eyes followed the car until the gate and her eyes narrowed at the guards standing at the front. Running back into her room, she yanked the closet door open and grabbed as many clothes as possible before she ran to her bed and pulled out a backpack from underneath it. Shoving the clothes into the pack, she glanced around when her eyes stopped at the grand piano. Rushing over. she grabbed the pack of empty and full sheet music before she stuffed into the backpack when she heard the door open. Her body went rigid when she heard a gasp fill her ears. Slowly, she turned around her eyes wide and full of fear and her eyes locked with a pair of wide brown eyes.
The maid from earlier. The maid who had taken care of her since her mother had left. She was staring at her with wide eyes, her eyes on the backpack in her hands and the determined look on her face.
"What are you doing young mistress?" she gasped out at the sight of the pack and how it was overflowing. Ignoring her words, the teen rushed around grabbing the things she would need. She paused before she grabbed the small music box and managed to stuff it into her bag. Turning around she saw the panic look on the maid's face.
"I need your help," she stated, snapping the maid out of her trance. Fear filled brown eyes locked with hers before she stepped forward.
"Please, help me," she whispered, desperation filling her voice and the maid felt her heartbreak at the sight of the broken girl before her. Ever since the mistress had left, she had been the one who had taken care of the young mistress. Not once in the past six years did the young mistress show such weakness, despite the beatings, the isolation, and pain that she had endured. She had never seen the young mistress so broken before, not in the six years she had taken care of her. Slowly, she nodded her head and the teen's eyes widened before a smile broke out onto her face.
...
She peeked out making sure that no one was watching before she ran out of the mansion with the young mistress right behind her. Taking cover in the bushes near the gate, she looked out to see the guards standing by it, their bodies in rigid forms.
"Young mistress, you need to make sure that you get outside undetected, if the guards catch you, I won't be able to help you anymore," she whispered to the young girl kneeling behind the bushes. The teen turned back, her green eyes locking onto her before she bowed her head.
"Thank you so much," she whispered. The older woman's eyes filled with sadness before she pulled the younger girl into a hug and quietly slipped in a wad of money into the girl's pocket. When she pulled away, she saw the gratitude on the girl's face. Before she could walk away, the teen reached forward and grabbed her arm.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Nana, young mistress," and she saw how the young girl smiled up at her. For the first time in the six years she had tended to girl, a beautiful, genuine smile adorned the fifteen year olds face.
"Thank you Nana-san, I won't forget this," and the older woman smiled before she knelt down.
"Don't mention it, young mistress," when the teen shook her head and took Nana's hands in hers.
"You saved my life, thank you, I can't repay you for this," Nana only smiled before she hugged the young girl once more.
"I wish you the best, young mistress,"
"Tsubasa,"
Nana pulled back and stared down at the girl who smiled up at her.
"My name is Tsubasa, not 'young mistress', Nana-san,"
"Good luck, Tsubasa," and the young girl looked up with a wide smile.
"Thank you," she whispered before she ran. Nana watched with wide eyes and she let out the breath she was holding when she saw Tsubasa pass the gate without the getting caught. She saw the disappearing figure before she closed her eyes.
'Good luck, young mistress,'
...
Her eyes widened as she ran into the streets of the city. For the first time in six years, she was outside, outside that room, the mansion, and away from him. A smile adorned her face before she allowed herself to laugh for the first time in six long years. Ignoring the weird glances she was getting from the people passing by, she jumped up and down at the thought of being free. For the first time in a very long time, she was free.
So, what do you think?
Hopefully, the Sakamaki brothers will make an entrance in the next chapter or soon.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed!
