Kagerou Days

You know … I kinda hate summer. It is hot and makes me sweat. Harald seems to hate the season too. At least we agree on something. We hardly agree on anything but the God Cards. He and Brave get along rather well. It is almost embarrassing to watch the two of them talk like girlfriends. They are so very feminine. And today Harald and I had a fight. We made up, kinda. In order to make up for it I decided to drive Brave and him to the store. Just outside of the new store we pull over. Harald gets out of the car first slamming the door angrily. Seems like he's still angry. He is so passive-aggressive. Brave gets out next with a slam of the door in a similar way. I stomp out and Harald smiles sweat dripping down his porcelain skin. It's embarrassing to stand here with them, I feel inadequate. As we walk down the parking lot to reach the store Brave and I start screwing about. Harald frowns and runs around to face us. At that moment we hear a scream escape from some woman's lips as an albino man rushes out. And some man with a gun starts to fire because of his jumpy trigger finger. The bullets begin to fly and the one who gets struck is Harald. He slumps against the ground, the blood staining his porcelain face. Brave's eyes are the size of plates as he vomits in the background. I stand here with such a shocked look on my face. A figure that is all white except for purple clothes and eyes grins smiling from ear to ear, The Heat. He looks at me and says

"This is the real thing!" With the slightest tinge of an accent.

I drop to the ground in and pass out in the summer heat.

I wake up on my bed at April 14th, what time is now? I lift up my phone and it's just past noon. Brave is sitting at the foot of my bed.

"He let's go to the store! Will you take us?" He asks me with his Bambi eyes.

Harald walks in and stands by me.

"Yes we need to pick up some more food. Will you take us?" Harald asks blandly.

I blink a few times and grab my keys. They come into my hands with a jingle. I stand up and slide my shirt on. Harald looks at me intently and smirks.

"Come on or something bad might happen." He says.

What that's supposed to mean? Is it connected to that dream I had last night? We drive up to the parking lot and I hear a woman's scream. Harald starts speeding up to see what's up and I grab him by the shoulder.

"Hey, we should probably go home now." I suggest.

Harald laughs and we get into the car. Brave stares at me.

"Why are we going home?" Brave asks.

"Because I have a bad feeling about the store today." I answer.

We speed up and drive faster then the speed limit should allow. Brave's scream rips through me as we crash. Brave's seatbelt snaps and he gets shot through the windshield. There is blood on Harald's porcelain skin. Three spots of blood. I touch my head and it's bleeding. I scream inside and The Heat shows up again.

"This is all real Sheila!" he laughs.

Harald passes out as do I.

I wake up and take a look at the clock. Is this to happen again? The clock says it's just past noon. I check my phone and it says it's past noon at … April 15th. A day afterwards? Then perhaps it can be helped. Brave is in the kitchen digging out bread with a knife. Harald walks in.

"You and Brave slept all of yesterday and we still need to go to the store. Will you take us?" Harald asks ignorantly.

"No! I wanna stay home! You guys should stay too! It's too hot." I almost scream.

"Well, ya'know I kinda hate summer…" Brave says while petting a cat.

"As do I." Harald mentions offhand.

An so we sit in the quiet and peaceful house, the same place. Harald shifts around with a bored expression. He walks up the stairs with a frown etched onto his face and his foot slips. Brave rushes in as a scream comes from my mouth. Brave screams as well. Harald lies with his neck snapped and skull crushed in. Blood staining his porcelain skin as his eyes remain colourless. Brave's eyes are size of plates. The figure appears again and says,

"Serves 'im right! What a bitch!" He laughs.

Brave drops to the ground and I follow suit. Passed out beside the body of my best friend.

I wake up the next day and form a plan. There will be no going outside and no stairs for Harald or Brave. If we must go out we will not go out to the store at all! The clock says it's past noon, April 13th. A day before the event. I recall the sound of an awfully annoying cicada.

"Well, ya'know Dragan's kinda cute in his own way." Brave chats.

"I suppose he is." Harald says.

"Good morning." I say.

Harald nods and Brave smiles. I walk away for just a second and a scream hits my ears. Brave walked under the ceiling fan. The thing crashed down while I was away. Harald has three spots of blood on his face. Brave had the blades slice into his skin. My eyes drain of all colour as the figure shows his face again.

"You know it's no use. Why try to stop the future and the past and the present?" The Heat questions.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I ask back.

"Everything." He answers without another word.

Harald hits the ground with a thump as the smell of Brave's blood chokes me to sleep.

I awaken on April 14th, the first day. I grab my keys and drag the two out.

"What's the rush?" Brave asks.

"You don't need to know, we have to get out." I tell him.

We run out past to the bus stop and a man runs out.

"Hey what are you doing man?" Brave asks.

He chases the man into the road. The rumble of the bus alerts me. I watch as it is inches from him and I run forth. I shove him out of the way and the bus slams into me. The smell of my blood makes Harald choke. Three dots adorning his flawless skin. Brave's eyes are the size of plates. The figure looks shocked his mouth falls.

"Serves you right!" I say to him.

A figure in orange appears behind Brave and smiles. I feel disappointed in myself as it all goes black.

I awaken on my bed with tears rolling down my eyes. I failed this time too I murmur while petting single cat. The Haze smiles as it stands in front of me.

"Well, you always have yesterday Brave."
