He's behind me, I don't even have to look. The way my knees feel weak, my breath is rapid, and even how those memories keep coming back to me. I want to run, cry, scream, but doing that won't do me any good. I know I should face my fears once and for all, after all these were the words a great friend told me.
*three days earlier*
Everyday at 8:00 a.m I wake up and get ready for my day. I take a quick shower, brush my long hair and put my protective black order outfit on, but today I decide to leave my hair down. After that I immediately go to the cafeteria to meet Jeryy. Once I meet him he always has the coffee ready for the science department. With a big tray in both of my hands I head to the science department. This is my daily routine where it's the same thing everyday, where I meet everyone sleeping with huge stacks of paper of their desk.
But today was different when I walk to the science department. Every single one of them was actually doing their work! There wasn't a single person sleeping. I was extremely shocked. It even took them a minute to figure out I was standing there with coffee in my hands. Reever was the first one to notice me. "Oh hey Lenalee sorry we didn't notice you, we were all busy with paper work". "I see that Reever for once you guys are, is there anything happening for you guys actually doing your work"?
The whole science department stop what they were doing, it was dead silent. Everybody knew what was happening but didn't want to tell Lenalee. Again Reever was the one to speak. "Umm yeah... Oh hey the coffees are getting cold let me grab those from you". "Oh okay thanks let me just grab nii-san cup". "Well Lenalee you better get going and give Komui his coffee he must be waiting" Reever said. "Yeah you right maybe he will tell me what's going on, but as usual I bet he's sleeping on his desk" Lenalee smiled.
Well I'm going now, bye guys good job. Lenalee said as she walked away. When she left the whole science department started to talk. "I feel so bad for her" one said. "We should of just told her the truth" another said. "Okay hush everyone!" "Komui will deal with this we need to get everything done before "he" gets here" Reever said.
Lenalee happily walk to her brother's office. She was thinking of new ways of waking up her brother from his sleep. Maybe I can say Allen and I are dating, he would really wake up then. Lenalee laughed as she open the door.
To her surprise she sall her brother working hard on his paper work on his desk. For the first time in a while Komui was actually doing his work. I took a step forward entering the room. If the whole science department is doing their work and my brother too, than something is really happening. Lenalee thought. Well here goes nothing.
Nii-san I brought your coffee. I smiled walking toward him. He stared at me with horror with his eyes. I froze in terror, seeing him like that scared me. But with a blink of his eyes his expression turned into a happy one.
"Thank you so much Lenalee this is just what I needed". His smile wad bigger than usual. Was I just seeing things? One second he looked terrified than the next he looked happy.
Lenalee sit down I have something important to tell you. So there is something going on! I knew it Lenalee thought. I walked over to the long couch and sat with my hands in my lap. "What is it nii-san" I question.
"This isn't easy to say but in a matter of minutes Lvellie will be here for a inspection". "He also has plans on being the head of the science department". Komui said concerned for his little sister. Lenalee stared at Komui as if he was playing a joke. She moved her hands to cover her face, in hope to believe this wasn't true. With her hands still covering her face she started shaking her head. "This can't be, please tell me it's not true". Lenalee said in the verge of tears. "Lenalee it does break my heart to tell you, but it's true". "If the science department and I can get our paper work done before he gets here, there is a slight chance I can still keep my job".
This can't be, I can't be separated from my brother again! My inner thoughts screamed.
"Nii-san is there anything I can do to help!" I said determined. "Lenalee all I want you to do is relax and try to stay calm when he gets here". Komui sadly smiled.
" I can't do that brother!" " I can never be calm if he's here!". "Not after what he's done with me!" I yelled at Komui. I ran out the door and exit the science department. Tears overflowed my eyes, over anger, over Lvellie, and my brother. But more importantly I was mad at myself for yelling at Komui, when he done nothing wrong.
I run even faster trying to reach my room so I can hid from this nightmare. I'm dodging people left and right, ignoring their concerns for me. I'm not that far to my room now just a couple steps and I'm there!
As soon as I turn the corner I bumped into a large built person. The force made me tumble back but a pair of hands caught me before I fell. I knew these hands way too well, the way they use to abuse me. I didn't have to look up, cause the person I ran into is Lvellie.
