A few hours passed and it was already time for the after school clubs. While I was being presented to the literature club, Andrew was wandering the school giving himself a personal tour. That tour soon halted when he collided into one of the students. Andrew soon apologize while the student mock him and told him that he was American trash. All Andrew could do is smile as he left. Of course he felt a little sad, "who cares." he told himself "There's not gonna be anyone out here for me." His eyes hazed over with a blank look in them. "There never was in the first place." He wandered in a dark hallway of the school, not paying attention. He was alone to his thoughts, his eyes shedding tears. "Why am I remembering just now! I just want to forget them! Is that too much to ask for!" He wander to one of the empty classrooms and cried on one of the desk. He starts to remember.
-.-Andrew's PoV-.-
"We're home!" Andrew mother yells out "Here Andrew, why don't you take your halloween candy to your room. Remember not to eat all of it tonight or you'll get a tummy ache!" She rubs the top of my head and she goes to the living room to check up on my baby brother and my dad. I proceed to my room but I was soon stopped when I heard a blood curdling scream. I drop the candy filled pillow case and run as fast as my 10 year old legs can go. When I got to the living room I just stand there in pure horror and the urge to cry overwhelms me. I saw my little brother on the floor lifeless, bloodied and mutilated and my mother with her throat sliced open with the one who caused this looking down upon me. My father grabbed my hair and threw me against the wall, knocking the air out of me. I tried to crawl away but then he slammed his foot using full force against my leg hearing an audible crack. I scream out in pain and agony. He advanced in front of my face down position and grabbed me by the neck, his hand like a vice grip. I could feel my conscious slipping away but soon regained because he let go and launched me down the hallway, my head bashing against the hardwood floor. The only thing I could think of right now is that i'm gonna die and there's nothing I can do about it. My father pulls out a knife from my mother's throat and proceeds to me, soon he start running. I close my eyes waiting for my demise but they soon opened again when I heard a crash and my face covered in blood. He slipped on the pillow case and his head landed on the knife, piercing through the skull. I sat there, alone, my mind being corrupted by the images of death and gore. I did what the one thing a kid would do in pain, I cried. Soon after a neighbor busted through the door and instantly looked away from the grotesque massacre. For a few days I stayed in the hospital and from the incident I developed PTSD, the mental illness makes me keep on having nightmares every night. Sometimes I don't sleep for days because of it.
The rest of the memory became a blur to me. I raise my head from the desk and check myself using the reflection from my phone, my eyes bloodshot from how much I was crying. I can't let anyone see me like this or they'll think that something is up. I don't want my reputation to get any worse. I walked out of the class and to the nearest male bathroom with some tacky one dollar shades on and my hood up. When I got there a couple of guys saw me and talked to each other and left. I run my hand through the warm water and splash some on my face. Soon some other guys walked in and I put my shades back on. I proceed to the exit of the bathroom but It was blocked by a different student. Before I could realise it I was against the wall and being repeatedly punched in the gut. They let go of me and I fell to the floor. Due to past experiences I gained a pretty high pain tolerance but that still hurt pretty bad. Soon the students surrounded me and started kicking, making sure there dress shoes digged into my body. The kicking subsided and all was left of it was a me curled up against the floor and the assailants ran off somewhere else. I slowly got up, paced my breathing and left, the good side was atleast they didn't break anything. I limped out one of the schools fire exit and sat under a nearby tree. My body ached and everything began to bruise. They really did a number on me, all I wanted to do right now is sleep and that's what I did.
I awoken with harsh and heavy breaths. A half of me scolded myself for falling asleep while the other half told me that it was needed. It was already dusk and the sun was setting. I picked myself up and stumbled in a random direction. "Maybe I can set up shop somewhere." I continue walking for a couple of minutes and found a motel. "Hopefully they take US currency, I'll get more Yen later." I talk to the man up at front and handed him the money, to my luck he handed me a key. I enter my room and immediately fall down onto the bed. I layed there staring at the ceiling, my body sore from today's "activities". I'll make sure I pick up my stuff after school tomorrow. My eyes look over to the clock, 7:24 PM. I reach into my pocket, pulled out my sleeping medication and took my required dosage. My mind instantly became at peace, due to the mixture of melatonin I fell asleep once more.
-.-MC PoV-.-
"Today was extremely boring and i'm not sure what to think about the literature club but those cupcakes were delicious, good thing I saved one for later. After I get done with making some pasta i'm gonna read a little manga then hit the hay." As I was stirring the noodles I started to feel light headed and a little nauseous. I sat down on one of the chairs and rested head on the table. My brain throbbed from the sudden migraine and my vision began to blur. I looked up and I almost jumped out of my skin at what I saw. A humanoid figure made out of pure static sat on my couch, from the looks of it the entity is facing me. I turned around, ran to the knife rack and armed myself. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house!?" The figure did not respond "I'm calling the cops… So I suggest you leave!" the figure remained ever so still. I ran to the phone and dialed the authorities but instead of the operator it was just white noise. I put the phone back and inch my way towards the door and grabbed ahold of the knob. As soon as that door opened I bolted out of the house but to my avail I was in the kitchen again. "What the hell!" I ran though the living room and out the front door again and still ended up in the kitchen. "What type of sick dream is this!?" the figure moved this time, and patted the spot on the couch, gesturing me to sit down. My body was at war with each other one half of me saying not to listen and the other half saying to sit down. I cautiously approach the entity and seated myself beside it. The world around me turned into a black void, it looks somewhat familiar, and the entity disappeared. My head starts to ache again as images starts to flood in. Images of the girls from the club dying imprints itself into my mind. The pain soon subsided and I look around in the void. I see someone in the distance and my first instinct is to run to them. From closer inspection the person I saw is Andrew but he's faced away from me. A eerie feeling sinks in as I place my hand on his shoulder. He turns his heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

I wake up on the chair and look around, my heart pounding. The floor covered in boiling hot water. "Shit! The noodles, aww damn it!" I take the pot off the stove, placed it in the sink and got a towel for the floor. All I could think of right now was the dream. The entity, the void, the images and… Andrew, I gagged at the thought of what I saw. After I got the mess cleaned up I checked around the house, no one is here except me. I still feel a little light headed so I went to the restroom to take a warm shower. The water runs down my back as I was left alone to my thoughts. "The dream felt so real… Maybe after I'm done I can sleep it off." Like I predicted the dizziness weared off and I proceeded to my bedroom, slipped on my sleep ware and laid onto my bed. My eyes grow heavy as sleep overtook me once more.
I open my eyes and looked around, i've awoken in a forest. I got up and looked around for any clue of how I got here. My eyes caught attention to the foot prints in front of me and I began to follow them. "Hopefully the trail will lead me outside the forest." As I continue walking I came across a fork in the road. One path is a dirt trail while the other path has the footprints going deeper into the forest. Even though the dirt path was the right idea my curiosity got the better of me and I continued to follow the footprints. After I walked through some tall bushes I was greeted by the sight of a broken down cabin. I cautiously enter the cabin and looked around. Nothing seems out of the ordinary except what's behind the cabin. What lies behind is 3 pedestals facing each other in a triangle formation. Upon closer inspection, the pedestal have engravings on the top of them. One pedestal has a poorly drawn eye, the other has a almost photo realistic top view of a brain and the last one has a weird mirrored ink splotch like the ones you see in a therapist's office. "What is this place?" I went back into the cabin and something caught my eye, a photo. "This wasn't here before." upon examining the photo another erie feeling sets in. The photo contains another static entity but the entity was laying in a pile of trash and bleeding profusely from the head. I feel someone's breath on my neck and I froze on the spot, The "thing" soon grabbed ahold of my head covering my eyes and my mouth and made a quick motion to the right. CRACK! I felt my life instantly drain from my body and fell limp on the floor.
Bleeep! Bleeep! Bleeep!
I wake up in my bed holding my neck and breath a relieved sigh. "It was just a nightmare but it felt so… Real… Just like the last one." I eventually ignore it and continue on with my life. Today is Andrew's official day of school hopefully we have the same class. I put on my uniform, gather my things and headed out. The eye… it feels so familiar to me but I can't remember where I saw it.
Meanwhile at the "Room"
"Now, time to delete this rodent before he messes anything else up" Monika opens the console commands and interacts with Andrew's file.
"Action invalid. Need Admin access. Current administrators: Team Salvo, Andreas Blackwater." Monika sits there, her composure nearly breaking. She takes a deep breath and she smiles.
"Fine. Then i'll have to get to you mentally, Just like the others." She looks over the sickening images of her "Club mates".
