Chapter 1
The girl led motionless, lifeless. Her dark hair covering part of her face casting shadows over where her bright cheery eyes usually sat, staring intently at anything and everything however, her eyes were closed and had the possibility of never opening to see the light of day ever again. A boy sat by her side, looking down at her worriedly as her small almost dead body led, hour after hour, not moving an inch.
"Shinozaki, if you can hear me, please wake up soon. Everyone misses you at school and I`ve been missing you even more, I wish this never happened. I wish you would be here with me now, complaining about me not doing homework or getting a bad test result or...well anything." Yoshiki muttered to the girls motionless form. She had been put in an unnaturally long coma after being hit by a car on the way home from school nearly two weeks ago and hadn`t even shown signs of waking up since.
A nurse walked into the room, taking one look at his tired, tear stained face and worried gaze before saying "She`s still not woken up yet huh?" Yoshiki shook his head "I have noticed that you are the one person who comes here every day to see her. Not even her parents come to see her that much. I was actually curious as to why you come so often." The nurse pointed out
"I`m going to be honest now, I`m in love with her. I never thanked her for what she did that day, for crying on my behalf and I swore to try and protect her only..it seems I`ve failed her." Yoshiki answered
"What did she do which was so important?"The nurse asked kindly
"She stopped me from dropping out of school that day, she helped me when no one else would, she basically changed my life for the better."Yoshiki replied
"Aww, well if you need anything just ask." The nurse said before walking out the room. Yoshiki nodded acknowledging her departure.
"I love you Ayumi..."He mumbled holding her cold almost dead hand.
All was quiet apart from the wind howling through the trees, rustling the leaves whilst carrying an eerie tune which appeared to be that of a wind up music box. Ayumi stood up and surveyed her surroundings, no one in sight. No people. No life. Nothing apart from the discusting smell of a nearby rotting corpse. She gasped at the sight as she realised that the corpse, quite possibly from not long ago, resembled that of...Seiko! Her eyes had been gauged out and were now filled with a black goo which caused crimson red blood to spill out of the two gaping holes. There was a few maggots crawling out of her eye sockets and onto the ground as the deceased corpse dragged it`s partly rotted form towards her. She saw an old fraying rope dragging slowly behing the corpse as it moved before it opened it`s mouth and cocked out "Y... ...d...did...t.. ..."
Reaching a hand out to try and grab her leg, it grunted from the effort before Ayumi realised, she had to run, now! And so, she started running away which was when she realised she was in her hometown and was heading towards a shop near her school, Kisaragi academy. She hid down an alleyway next to the shop, sinking down to the ground before seeing the messy sentences that had been scrawled onto the wall with...blood? She read through it and it read:
Ayumi you are trapped...
You are destined to die...
Under these circumstances, it won`t be long...
My pain shall soon be yours...
In this town you are stuck...
Situated near the school my corpse rots...
Hiding it`s true identity from others...
If you read this message you best run...
Not running yet? Time to have some fun...
Of course we won`t spare you the pain...
Zombies that`s basically what we are...
Awaiting our chance to attack...
Kill. Kill. Kill . KILL...
I`M HERE...
She jumped when she felt hot breath against the back of her neck, spinning around to see who it was when she saw the mutilated corpse of her friend Mayu Suzumoto. She turned and saw the ghost of that very girl, looking at her, staring deep into her soul
"Death round every corner, Inside and out, Each soul living or dead, Allow us to kill as we please, Yes this is true not just in your head, Understand our pain as any opportunity to kill we will seize, My corpse un recognisable, In the future it will be you..." Mayu`s ghost sang creepily, putting on a childish voice to make it seem...innocently creepy.
"Shinozaki! Tell her it wasn`t your fault!" Another voice yelled to her from the end of the alleyway
"It...it wasn`t...my fault..."Ayumi stuttered as the ghost faded and the owner of the voice rushed to her side. An eerie chill hung in the air as she turned to the person
"I don`t know where we are...but you need to get out...now..."Ayumi stated staring into the person`s eyes
(You know I really hope someone likes this cos to be honest, I scared the crap out of myself writing this so yeah anyone notice the two acrostic poem things? No okay also anyone notice that Santa is an anagram of Satan...yeah I`ll leave you with that thought)
