Hello! And if you have been reading 'It All Started With Her', I am sorry for the delay. I hope to have the next chapter soon. I know I have a few other stories to juggle, but this kept popping it up in my head, and the next thing you know, I wrote it down. So it may or may not continue, maybe after I finish one of my other stories. Until later!

Prologue
A single radio, tapped up and fiddled with sat on the face of a slightly slanted table, and before the radio sat a girl. She had chestnut locks, slight curls as it fell down her face. Her face had a few smudges of dirt on her cheek, and her crimson eyes showed boredom.
She leaned forward, two large black stains gray gloves were slammed on the table, her brow twitching as she swooped it up and held the handheld radio in her hand. "Why won't this work?" She muttered to herself as she took off the back cover and brought out a screw driver from no where. She started to mumble to herself, fiddling with the broken radio as soon it hissed to life. She quickly took off her gloves. Satisfied, she put it back on the table and started to turn the knobs on the face of the radio.
"Hello?" She stopped, staring at the radio as it started to play a message. "If anyone can hear this, the. Please send help. Please, I'm begging you. I'm all alone here, and this radio is my last hope. Please! If anyone is there! The plea-AAAAHHHHH!" Then it stopped and went back to static as she stared at the radio.
With a blank face, she turned it off and stood up. She then picked up the radio and threw it hard on the ground, watching as her three years of hard work was soon destroyed by herself. She looked at all the parts that scattered around her, how it was all covering the area before her. "That's not something you should do." She flinched a little, turning around to lock eyes with none none other than her roommate, Mai.
Her light orange hair was slightly darkened, and she had her hair at shoulder length, and she always had it up in a low ponytail. Shizuru just sighed and plopped down on her bed. "Ara, if you were in my position, then yes you would." She said as Mai sat down beside her on the bed.
"Hey, I know how it is to lose a family member in a mine accident, but that doesn't give you an excuse to just trash everything you get your hands on." Came her 'motherly' voice. Shizuru just scoffed and she moved a stray chestnut hair behind of her ear before turning to face Mai.
"You make it seem like you know everything Mai. But you don't. I bet that after your 'motherly' side, there is a dark side. One that no one ever wants to see. And don't you just want to let her free?" Shizuru said as Mai just scowled at her. "You know, ever since his death, all you do is just mope and take your anger out on everyone else around you. Come and meet me in the mess hall when your back to your usual self."
Mai retorted as she stood up and left, leaving Shizuru alone. She cursed under her breath before Shizuru picked up the pieces and she threw them into a small bag. Then she laid down, her hands finding their way under her pillow and bringing out a small dark grey diary. Everything she was mad, she always pulled out this diary. She has no idea who's it is, nor how it ended in the mines. She flipped it open to the first diary page, reading it to herself as she begin to smile softly.
Date:_
Name:_
It's been a while week ever since I saw her. I waited by the statue she asked me to, and I waited. But she never came. I stayed until I could no longer see anyone walk outside. Then I picked up my feet and ran back to my home. It's illegal to be out late at night, especially since people began to disappear. But they still do. At first, it was the elderly, but soon it was targeting the younger generation. Just about anyone is gone. And when they find their body, nothing but their skeleton and a bloody mess is found. I really can't stand how this is. I got to go, I have a feeling something is behind me.
Then she closed the book and slid it back under her pillow, her fingers hot to the touch. The feeling of the soft leather still on her fingertips, she softly smiled as she stood up. Dusting off her soiled jumpsuit, she stepped out. She pushed the memories of the radio behind her and she passed the nearby workers and she stopped before the twin wooden doors, slightly caved in. She gripped the door with one hand, her palms slightly sweaty as she pulled it open and stepped in. "Well, well. Hey look! It's Shizuru!" A nearby girl exclaimed as she slowly looked at her. Her lopsided teal hair really pissed Shizuru off, but those light grey eyes always reminded her of that girl she sees in her dreams. She always looked at that girl with displeasure in her crimson eyes, making the girl come onto her even more.
Shizuru just sighed and went to sit next to Mai, with her small group. Mai just glared at her before getting up and walking away. "Wow, so what happened now Bubezuke?" A blonde girl said from the other side of the table, her dark lavender eyes showed boredom as she played with her food. Shizuru just leaned in her palm and sighed. "We had another fight, but I swear she started it." She mumbled as the blonde girl just huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. "That's what you get. It's that saying, what blows around comes around."
"Haruka, it's what comes around." Came a shy timid voice beside her. Haruka just huffed and looked away, her pride hurted. Shizuru lightly chuckled as she waved her hand in front of Haruka's face. "Ara, Haruka. I believe that you are taking this too seriously." She said, making the other girl scowl at her. "You may say that, but what if something else happens? It's not like you can just make it up with all that junk and whatnot. You may be an engineer and mechanis, but that's all you can do."
"Haruka, it's mechanics." The timid girl said before taking off her glasses and cleaning them. Shizuru sighed before she crossed her arms and put her head down and rested until she felt someone trace a finger down her spine, making her jump in her seat. She turned and locked eyes with none other than the real girl. "Tomoe." She said as she gritted her teeth together, the other girl started to smile. "Shizuru. How pleasant to see you in the mess hall. It's been such a while since I last saw you." She said as she sat down next to her. "Who said you could sit next to me?" Shizuru said, anger flaring in her eyes. Tomoe simply chuckled lightly before answering.
"Shizuru, Shizuru. When are you ever going to notice how much I love you? I will do just about anything, no, I will do anything so I can have you." Shizuru just started to laugh, making the teal haired girl softly smile. "You really think that you will have me? Never." Her voice came out cold, making Tomoe's smile fade. "Never. Never in a million years. Even after I die, never." Shizuru said before standing up and walking out of the mess hall. "Like hell I need to deal with her right now." She muttered to herself as she went back to her room. She opened the door, sighing as she saw that Mai did not return. "Maybe this one was too far." She thought to herself as she sat down on her bed.
She leaned against the wall, looking up to the rocky ceiling. It amazed her how this foundation was able to hold so many people, and how it was never able to break. But then again, it is forged with one of the strongest rocks known so far, bedrock. And it always took a few days to get a decent dent in. She closed her eyes and she layer on her pillow, slowly drifting off to sleep as she saw that girl again.
ELSEWHERE...
"D-D*pant* Do you think someone got it?" Asked a dark figure. One shook its head, her light gray medium long hair slowly moving with her. "I-I hope so. I-If not, then what else can we do? That was our last hope." The other just groaned and slid down onto the brick sidewalk, her black raven hair covering her face. She yelled out and slammed her fists on the bricks, her hands in pain. "Calm down. You should know better. What if he finds us?" The one with white hair said as the other stood up groggily. "Hahah. Too late~." They hear a singsong voice from behind then sing, their eyes wide in fear. "RUN!" They screamed, slamming their feet on the pavement as a black figure chased them.
