Chapter 2

Mikan opened her eyes and saw an empty and dark room. She didn't know where she was, but she wanted to go out of that room. So she decided to look for a way out. Apparently there was no exit at all. Then suddenly a man with a black coat and a mask appeared behind her. It was Persona!

Person walked towards Mikan and extended an arm towards her. "Come here Mikan. Come here and come with me." Person said quietly, but Mikan heard him. Mikan was only a few steps away from him. "No . . ." Mikan said.

"Oh, I bet you want to see Natsume." Person added. "Besides . . . Didn't I save your life?" Mikan knew he was right. "Yes, I know that you saved me, and for that . . . I thank you." Mikan answered. "But I am not going with you!" Mikan added.

"Even if I say that Natsume is with me?" Persona said confidently. Mikan was shocked. "B-but I thought Natsumi would never go with you anymore!" Mikan said. "Yes, he did say that six years ago. But, he cam back to me because he wanted to become more powerful." Persona answered her.

Mikan felt like a pound of metal hit her head. She fell down on the ground. "It can't be." Mikan said. "You can say that. However, if you want to see Natsume, go to the forest tonight. I'll wait for you." Persona said while walking away, then he stopped in his tracks. "But remember . . . you're doing this for Natsume." He said before vanishing int to thin air, leaving his black rose.

--

When Mikan woke up from her sleep it was already dawn. "I bet it was just some nightmare." Mikan mumbled to herself. She was about to go to the rest room but then a black rose caught her attention. Then she remembered that it was the black rose Persona left before he vanished in her dream!!

Mikan decided to go to the forest. When she arrived there, she saw Persona standing not far away from her. "You're right in time." Persona said, a bit amused. Then he faced Mikan. "I'm doing this for Natsume!" Mikan said bravely. "Oh, I see. The power of love . . ." Persona said with a finger in his chin. Mikan turned red. "No! W-we're just friends." She said immediately. "Oh, friends? So be it." Persona said sarcastically. Then Mikan remembered natsumi. 'Where's Natsuni!?" She said demandingly. "You'll now when you come with me. . . ." Persona said without looking at Mikan and walked away. Mikan couldn't do anything but follow Persona.

Suddenly both of them stopped in front of a very old building. Mikan felt the back of her hair stand up. The place looked very creepy. "You will find Natsumi in there." Persona said opening the door of the old building. When Mikan entered the building, she noticed how dark the inside of the building was. She couldn't see, and so she didn't notice Persona behind her. "Hoee!" Mikan screamed in shock when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Natsume is right this way." Persona pointed at a small lit room. And in the middle of the room unconscious . . . laid Natsume! Mikan clutched her fist and faced Persona. "What did you do to him?" Mikan said to him angrily.

"I didn't do anything to him." Persona said. "Then why is he unconscious?" she asked. "Because he used his power to the fullest." Persona answered nonchalantly. Mikan walked toward Natsume and touched his head. She felt something wrong but dismissed the idea. Instead she turned to face Persona, "How can I help him?" she asked worriedly. "You have to drink this first, in order to protect yourself." Persona said handing her a bottle full of some kind of weird liquid medicine.

She didn't ask him what the medicine was made of, and immediately drank it. A few seconds later, Mikan felt her surroundings spin and suddenly . . . all she could see was darkness . . .
