Sorry if the second chapter took so long. It's just because I am truly busy with my private summer life...enjoying the beach, playing piano, etc...
Last time:
Sakura and Sasuke have realized that they need to solve the death of the house's owners, because if they don't, they won't escape the cursed house alive...or dead.
"I..c-can't...I can't t-take this any m-more "Sakura stuttered while analyzing the message for them.
"Come on now, we have to hurry before we see another apparition from here"
Just as they are leaving the kitchen, the ball followed them and headed towards Sakura.
"What the..."Sasuke said as these words slipped from his mouth
The ball cornered Sakura to the wall and stopped right at her feet. It shook violently and then...it exploded. Blood oozed as a little boy's head came rolling out from it.
"H-help ..m-meee..." It was the head who spoke to Sakura, its voice echoing through her head, while Sasuke has his mouth agape due to shock and fear for the first time.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Sakura fainted due to shock. Blood from the ball drips from her clothes. Sasuke quickly carried her away from the kitchen to the bathroom. He thought that there might be no mysteries or scary things or spirits that lurks there.
The bathroom has a glass window from the corridor so you can see who might be inside. There is also a door at the corner leading to the back side of the house where you can hang your clothes. It has a shower and toilet division. It also has a worn out carpet at the center and that's where Sasuke placed Sakura.
Sasuke cupped the water from the faucet using his hands and carefully washed Sakura's face but she still haven't gain consciousness. As he stood up, he noticed an empty bottle of the early kind of poison. He placed it above the sink next to a note. An old, tattered note.
It reads: "dearest mommy Kyoko. we love you. Please get well soon".
"A note?" Sasuke tried to think that it might be given to her by her children before they all died.
As he glanced by the door, he saw a shadow of a woman flashed by.
"My imagination.."
He washed Sakura's face again and continued to wake her. After a few seconds, she woke up at last.
"W-where are we?" Sakura asked groggily, her head aching, butterflies twitching her stomach.
"In the bathroom."
"Is there a way out at that door" She pointed at the door in the corner of the bathroom.
"I…prefer not to go there"
"Is there a ghost here"
"hn."
"What do you mean by hn?"
Sakura looked around the surrounding. For her, it looks quiet cozy but, she still feels uneasy. She stood up and took the tattered paper above the sink and read it aloud." Don't worry Ichiro and Aneko. I won't leave you forever"
"Are you sure you read it correctly"
"Y-yes…Why?"
"Because it's different earlier, before you woke up."
Suddenly, the sink, shower, bath tub, and others overflowed with water...dark water
The two of them ran outside the bathroom and locked the door. The bathroom is already filled with dark water. The water is swirling wildly inside and then... BANG! Someone's hand hit the window in front of them, as if asking for help...finding a way out.
"Do you think that all we can do is to run?"
"hn?"
"You know, I'm getting very tired of these things."
"I'm as well fed up as you, but as long as you hold on tight to me, I won't let them get you."
"T-thank you" Is all she can say to him. She is already confused and then he will tell her that he will protect her no matter what all of a sudden...After all these horror...after those years of their miscommunication. It seems that it is all too fast for her.
They slowly walked along a corridor towards the dining room. They are very near to each other, feeling safety in each other's warmth. Sakura could have wished it would last longer, but it seems that she is unlucky.
The floor she stepped on broke and she fell unto the shadows. As she looked above her, the hole is closing rapidly...separating her from Sasuke.
In a few seconds, for what seemed eternity for her, her body slowed down from falling and it is not a while before she realized that she is now on the cold ground of this room. Everything around her is darkness.
She winced for now, she is alone and something might happen to her...to Sasuke.
Sakura heard a low moan from the direction behind her. She tried to move but to her horror, she cannot move a single muscle of her body.
At last, I have finished the second chapter. I can't really rush my brain to think any better thing that will happen to them. Sorry :( for my late update but I will try to update too soon
