Prologue: Spilled Blood
I walk into the school gymnasium and the first thing I notice is the stench. The stink of rotting meat. Then I look around and the sight causes me to throw up. The walls and floor are covered in splattered blood, and bodies of my schoolmates are strewn all over the floor. I cover my mouth, eyes so wide they might come out of my head. my body shakes violently and I'm afraid I might pass out. Suddenly I hear her voice behind me, "Isn't it wonderful?"
I turn around and she's covered in blood from head to toe. Her uniform is utterly ruined with dark red and it's smeared all over her skin and even in her once blond hair. She's completely covered, and she's smiling. Her eyes are dark, almost empty. She holds out her arms, like she wants to hug me and I see the knife in her right hand. Like the rest of her, the weapon is covered in blood.
I step away from her and shudder, my foot hitting something squishy. I swallow hard, I'm choking on bile. Her smile falters slightly, "What's wrong, dear? Aren't you happy?"
"N-Namine.." I choke out her name.
She steps closer to me and puts her hands on my shoulders. She whispers in my ear, "I did it all for you, don't you know that?"
My body shakes uncontrollably, and I grab her arms for support so I don't fall. She pulls back and smiles sweetly at me, "You're happy, right? My sweet Sora is happy?"
I nod slowly, "Y-yeah.. Happy.."
She hugs me, staining my clothes to match hers, "I'm so happy! I love it when you're happy because of me!"
I stand there, shaking, I don't want to hug her back, but I'm afraid of what will happen if I don't. Suddenly I see Riku coming down the hall. Relief fills me, He'll save me. Then I see the blood on his clothes. Not nearly as much as on Namine, but he's still splattered. He's smiling his usual cool, confident smile, and he's carrying a knife twice the length of Namine's.
Namine's chattering in my ear, but I'm not listening. I'm watching Riku come closer and when he's a few feet away, he throws the knife. I yelp as the knife stabs Namine in the back. She gasps and her grip one me goes slack. She slumps over and her body falls to the floor beside me. I stare down at her in disbelief, "N-Namine..?"
I look at Riku as he keeps coming towards me, "R-Riku?!"
He walks right up to me and pulls my face up gently. He leans down and kisses me. His mouth tastes of blood. He moves back slightly and smiles slowly, "Now you're all mine. I hate to share."
