WARNINGS: Explicit Conten...
When I woke up, my back screamed in pain, and my whole body was unbelievably sore. There was too much light, I sat feeling so nauseous, a hangover even though I hadn't drunk a single drop of alcohol. Trying to open my eyes was a real struggle since I seemed to be in a well-lit room and the sun was already up, burning through my closed eyelids. Of course, no one would come to find me, and no one would have the care to take me to my room and tuck me in. This was not the kind of household that harboured such warm and compassionate people.
After what seemed like an hour, I finally managed to open my eyes. I was squinting look around, but the room seemed as beautiful and warm as I had imagined it last night. The corners of my lips twitched a bit upwards, until a stinging pain hit them, and I realized I was in horrible shape.
"Oh. You're awake, Y/N." If my body had a tiny bit of energy left, I would've climbed the walls in pure surprise. Currently though, it was trying to not move at all and recover, Illumi (who else could it be, so many people in this fucking mansion and somehow, he was always the one that showed up) walked around the large sofa, I had spent the night on, and sat at a considerable distance from me.
My heart could've skipped a beat, if I hadn't looked at his face and seen the bored, unamused look he had stamped. My bet was that one of the butlers found me and Kikyo had kindly asked Illumi to wait for me to wake up. I wish I had seen the request, seeing Illumi squirming unable to deny it, that sure as hell would bring a bit of joy into my day.
"What time is it?" I rubbed my forehead, why had I picked such room? It was suicide for these vampiric barely woken up eyes. The long-haired man took a while to answer.
"Nearly mid-day, mother asked me to accompany you to breakfast but not to bother you. This is not an adequate time to start the day, but I shall take you to breakfast, as I've already wasted enough time here." Ooh, look who was so chatty today! A bit of 'ugh Y/N can you not waste my time?' was just what I needed to brighten my day. I tried getting up, I wasn't going to inconvenience this rude man anymore. My head felt light, my gut turned around and my vision started to fade into black. I sat again confused and frustrated at my own body.
How weak had that looked like? That wasn't what I should be thinking... not when my vision wasn't returning, and I had this ominous feeling I'd pass out soon. Not when the couch under me felt less and less solid. "Y/N?" I heard in the distance, I waved my hand, maybe it was just the fact I hadn't eaten yet, I laid down a bit, and I'm sure my voice came out wobbly as I tried to answer.
"It's ok, it'll... be alright in just a second..." That was more to try to convince myself, who cared about Illumi, I meant besides the fact that he could see I was completely useless and kill me in this moment of weakness? Hahah... I wished for someone to help me... Feitan would've laughed at me, but would he kill me in my weakness? No, he enjoyed the screams and the despair. Chrollo... he seemed so distant but he was my friend... Why didn't I go on an adventure with... "Chrollo...?"
This time I woke up as if floating on feathers, everything stung but at least the thing underneath me was soft and soothing. Was I in a bed? There wasn't an intense light anymore... What had happened to me?
My E/C fluttered open, and I curiously took in the place, it looked like a hospital room. Why was I in a hospital? My head ached and as I tried to move my arm, I felt a needle move in it. "What the..." there was an IV drip connected to the thin transparent tube that snaked around my S/C arm. "Oh... oh no..."
I sat up, repressing my wince. "Oh, my dear chocolate lord...". I saw Kikyo storm in, running to my side her lips pressed together in worry.
"Oh my... I have to apologize my lovely Y/N, our incompetent butlers switched the plates." Her visor seemed to be shaking. "Do not worry! I shall have them punished for their mistakes!" The lady added quickly, not that it made any sense in my head I was still confused over the first sentence.
"Plates?" I managed to inquire, Illumi entered the room with a dead calm, not putting on a panicky worried show like Kikyo, he seemed to find it amusing by the glimmer in the look he casted me.
"Oh, right! Your food was poisoned, and the useless servers last dinner forgot that you would not have a meal on the level we usually do." Poison? Why would their food be...
"Oh..." My S/C hand patted my H/C hair, a nervous reaction. Even in their meals they would improve their skills. What a wicked household.
"I couldn't be more surprised that you didn't seem to die in the first bites, what an interesting guest, you are~" Kikyo beamed, obviously satisfied with the results. Was it really a mistake that they switched the plates? I smiled politely at Kikyo, it did sound like something she could've done with no remorse. I shouldn't have lowered my defences thinking nothing bad would happen. Who knew how the fuck I had managed to survive?
My heart was jumping out of my ribcage, my lack of sight was terrifying me. What was worse is that... even after hearing I had been poisoned a part of me wanted to shove it in Illumi's face, that I fought him with that in my veins. That I was much better than my performance last night. The fact that my anger at the moment wasn't even because I was poisoned.
"You shouldn't punish them since I'm alright. No wonder I felt so weak after my training with Illumi, all that exercise must've accelerated the circulation of the poison. Hahaha..." I had to leave as quickly as possible, who knew what would happen to me if I stayed long enough... This was a dangerous game I was playing. Perhaps leaving right away and letting a note for Zeno to meet me somewhere would be wise... But I had already agreed on helping Illumi with his job, whatever that will be. How had I lowered my guard so much?
I gazed at Illumi, no wonder his mom had sent him to get me, after all her plan did involve me probably dying. Probably? Scratch that, absolutely.
"Well, can I go to my room? I really feel like taking a bath..." The less time spent near these people the less probable it would be for me to suffer any assassination attempts. That was the logic for now, I needed a clear head to formulate a better plan.
