The Sweetest thing [Kanato Sakamaki X reader]part3

„But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. In that night there was music in my mind. And through music my soul began to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before…

Fixing my „new dress” in the mirror I slowly accepted the fact that I was left alone in the dark and undiscovered - what they all call home. My hands and neck were still hurting from the bitemarks that the brothers have left on me.

The sudden silence in the mansion gave me goosebumps.
Leaving the room I wandered off from room to room. Not like I could do anything else at the moment. After a little time I decided, that I should start with dusting in the hallway.
A faint light emiting through the windows – that was all for me to show the way. Portraits on the walls glared back at me; the intruder of this cold world, where from there was simply no escape for me.

 The small noise of my own footsteps and my quickening breathing only caused me to shake in misgiving. My negative thoughts didn’t help either… Thinking about dying here…or worse. Living here, maybe forever. I might never even see my parents again…yes that was all the love and joy I’ve had in life, and now I even lost that much. Such a boring way to live a life.

I should probably do something quick before I collapse on the floor, panicking and crying myself to death…Thinking about ways to calm myself,I thought that maybe I should start singing something. For me many times singing was the only way. When I sing, people couldn’t help but look at me. Only at those rare times in life…
Not like anyone’s here except me, so I won’t even bother anyone, which encouraged me more.
After building some courage in me I suddenly started to sing…something I knew a long time ago. A melody. My favourite lullaby.

„Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there…”

„That song!” a sudden voice interrupted my chanting, which made me froze in walking. Looking around I was searching for the source of the voice. Without any success, I started to back away in fear.

All of a sudden I’ve felt a cold hand on my shoulder and a faint touch of a pair of lips behind my ear. „Gotcha~” The exact same voice whispered right behind of me in a more playful tone, which still caused me to scream in fright.

Escaping from the sudden touch I ran through the long hallways, not even thinking about turning back. „Awww… why are you running away? It’s not fair.” The loud giggling, which followed me through the dark as I ran made me run even faster. I didn’t even care where was I heading anymore. Hastily, I tried to open a few doors, futilely as all of them were locked. But after some time, I stopped. Breathing heavily I was listening if the voice was still haunting me. But for a moment everything became silent. Blood-curdlingly silent.

„You really want to ruin the game, don’t you?”
Just as I turned I could feel a hand teasingly sweep through the soft fabric of my maid dress. I jolted by the sudden contact and pushed myself, running away again, not wanting to give in.

I’ve found my way to a stairway, that led me to a door. The sudden light on the other side of it suprised me. It was cold inside and as I walked in I’ve seen figures placed sideways. They all looked similar. Emotionless and empty, yet still beautiful in their own way. All dressed in white. Such fake innocence could be seen.
„Ah, it looks like I’ve found your hiding place.” The voice of my chaser echoed inside the room. In the light finally I could see him, showing a satisfied grin. „But you know, this is my hiding place, so I’m afraid you should go and look for another one…” He added chuckling at my confused look I was giving to him.
„Kanato-san…” I whispered. Only just as I said that my whole body gave itself for an unexpected shudder. „What is this place?” I asked from him.
Walking to face one of the strange figures, I observed them closely. „Let’s just simply call it the room of my collection.” He answered.
„You’ve collected these?” I asked, not wanting to believe it.

„I did. Although they weren’t always as beautiful as they are now.” said Kanato as he walked towards the doll that I was examining so closely.

„They were all once full with life. Believeing in such nonsence things as happiness, miracles and love...” he touched the figure’s face in a caring manner. „How foolish they all were, ne~ Teddy?” he said as he glanced down to Teddy.

The way Kanato said that couldn’t help me believe that these dolls were once alive. By realising that, I turned my head away to avoid the sight of it. I felt incredibly uncomfortable, but Kanato simply continued his own admiration.

„Teddy especially loves the emptiness seen in their eyes…Unlike in yours.” he added, glaring into my [eye colour] eyes all of a sudden.

 „Does it hurt?” he asked caringly after a few seconds. „The bitemarks…”
He held one of my hands carefully in his own, observing the wound left by his brother. Those hands that were wrapped around my neck a few hours ago in an intent to kill me... I could feel how my hands started to tremble by his touch.

„Are you perhaps afraid of me, [name]-san?...I won’t turn you into a wax figure, so there’s nothing to worry about.” Kanato reassured me by carefully touching my face the same way as he did with the doll.  „You are just not worth the effort.”
Feeling uneasy by his touch I pulled my hand away, crossing my arms across myself in a deffensive manner. He didn’t seem to like that at all.

„Now why did you do that, [name]-san?” I could hear his voice become darker again, just as it happened in the dining room. Taking a few steps back didn’t help a lot as he followed me, his eyes pierced through mine.
„I especially invited you here. I thought you would enjoy that I let you see my latest creations. And yet, all of my efforts don’t mean a thing to you! You really are a heartless woman!!”

Just as he said that my back have reached a wall, making me unable to back away anymore. „I’m sorry…I just don’t understand--”
„Why are you apologising when you’re not even sorry at all?!” he demanded me, closing the gap between us. His words made me more and more confused.
„I do feel sorry--”
„DON’T LIE TO ME!” he howled at me. Letting go of his stuffed animal, his hands captured my wrist and pressed them both against the wall. Mesmerized by his eyes, I couldn’t move an inch. But Kanato didn’t do anything other than observing my face.
„I’m very dissatisfied with you…” His voice sounded a bit calmer than before. „Ever since you’re here I have this unendurable headache…” he lowered his head onto my shoulder. „What you say…the way you talk and your actions don’t make any sense to me.” his grip tightened.

In a sudden, he looked up again with his still lips disorted into a terrible grin.
„I wonder…if I kill you here and now, would that make my pain go away?” he asked, giggling at my widened eyes.
„Please don’t…” I whispered, but my voice hitched in a second as I felt his cold lips faintly pressed against my neck.
„You see [name]-san, because a certain someone ate my precious cake, I’ve became hungrier than ever before.” I shivered by his lips brushed against my skin. Closing my eyes, I waited for the paralysing pain to pierce through my skin and take control over me.

„Just hold still, please..." he ordered me as he brushed my hair away from my neck. No matter how prepared I was, the pain was unbearable at first. I could hear Kanato's satisfied moans, his hands gripping harder onto mine.
Later on he let go of one of my hand only to grip into my hair and drag my head back.
„Kanato...unh please...you're drinking too much" I begged, but his only reply was pressing my body harder against the wall, making my limbs feel numb. The only thing I could feel by now was the touch of his fangs and his tight grip at the back of my head.

„…I guess I will not kill you just yet.” said Kanato, playing with my nerves.
But before I could reply, his fangs sinked into my neck again.

„You’re just too much fun~”
