“Shh….Don’t wake Atsushi up…” Ikuto said.
He removed his hand and Chiyo turned to face him.
“Don’t try and stop me from escaping, Ikuto…”
Ikuto closed his eyes.
“Please be patient…I will make a deal with you…”
Chiyo raised an eyebrow.
“If you stay until I figure out what is going on…I will leave the door unlocked…”
“Why would you do that? I could escape at any time…”Chiyo said.
“I trust you…and you must be back in you room before dark…or else Atsushi will just come after you again…”
Chiyo closed her eyes and pursed her lips.
“He won’t let you escape, Chiyo…He might hurt your family…” Ikuto said.
“Alright...I’ll stay…But on one condition.” Chiyo said.
“What is it?”
“You must visit me every day!” Chiyo said, her cheeks turning red.
Ikuto mussed up her hair.
“It’s a deal…”
“GAH! This is so….FRUSTRATING!” Ellie cried.
“Me too!” Amira said, “We’re Chiyo’s sister…We should be able to talk to Erik too. Besides…we know more about vampires now than dad does…”
“We could eavesdrop!”
“How?”
“With this!” Ellie said, pulling out a mirror.
“….That’s a mirror, Ellie…”
“And I am a witch! Watch and learn sister, dear~”
Ellie closed her eyes and Scryed the image of the room. An image of Erik and Keisuke soon appeared on the mirror.
“I will look into this…I’m sorry I could not protect Chiyo…But I will save her from those beasts. I’ll kill each and every one of them …”
Keisuke closed his eyes and sighed in relief.
“Thank you…”
“Just promise that the wedding will occur as soon as I bring her back…”
“Of course…”
Erik looked up.
“Someone is spying on us…” he said.
Ellie freaked and made the image go away. That was close…Too close…
“THAT…WAS…SO…COOL!” Amira cried.
Ellie looked sheepish.
“Thanks! It’s hard work…But you heard what Erik said…He is going to find Chiyo. Maybe Sousuke will not need to help!”
Amira shrugged.
“I would still like to find Chiyo without relying on Erik…something does not feel right about him…But I may just not want to lose my Cher-bear to him…”Amira said.
“Night is falling, it’s time to go meet up with Sousuke…”Ellie said.
Atsushi left the house alone and hurried to the post office to get his package. He collected the package and returned home. This was an important tool…
He walked up to Chiyo’s room and unlocked it. Chiyo was staring at the ceiling. She sat up in a hurry when he entered.
“Oh…it’s you…”She said coolly. She was hoping for Ikuto.
“I have something for you…”Atsushi said, holding out a package.
Chiyo stared at him, with her arms crossed. He walked over and held out the package to her.
“Open it…”he said.
Chiyo narrowed her eyes and refused to take it.
Atsushi’s eyes flashed with anger.
“I know your precious sisters are trying to find you…I can kill them easily…”
Chiyo’s eyes went wide with horror.
“So…you will do what I say…”
Chiyo took the package and opened it. Inside was a white dress…A wedding dress. She burst into tears. Atsushi wiped away a tear, causing her to flinch away.
“Try it on.”
Chiyo shook her head. She then remembered her sisters.
“Not with you in the room…”she whispered.
Atsushi smirked and left the room, so she could change. Chiyo tried on the dress. It fit her perfectly…
“I’m ready…”she called.
Atsushi walked in and his eyes gleamed with lust and excitement.
“You look just like an angel…”he said.
An angel that would be tainted by blood…
Chiyo stared at the sweet heart top of her dress and it’s beading. It was beautiful…But she did not want to be wed under these circumstances.
Atsushi looked Chiyo over.
“The wedding will be tomorrow night. There seems to be a vampire hunter on our trail…We must make the wedding happen as soon as possible…”
He turned and left, locking the door.
Chiyo fell to her knees and sobbed.
