#03 A glimpse of hope
Monobear Theater Act 1
How beary excited I am
The first despair after a couple of chapters
I wonder if they can handle it, or die trying
Upupu
I can see their faces now
Right now, Maizono is now in despair, and I couldn't change the past. She will probably thinking about killing and come to me later. I see the camera, I know she is enjoying this from there.
"A notice to everyone, there is a shower in everyone room, and the water won't run in night time, so carefully plan your time." "Also, the girls bathrooms is the only one that can be lock, and I left a small gifts to everyone." Monobear said from the monitors.
I check the drawer to see the same tool from before, and the sword. I wonder if I can take away the sword from here. If I take away the sword, Leon die, but if it stay here, Maizono die. No, no, I shouldn't think like this, I have to save both of them, no matter what. I check the bathroom door, and see it is still the same.
"Hello there."Monobear appear.
I turn to see him, "So you are here."
"Of course, you left the door unlock, anyone can come and kill you."
"I believe in my friend, they will never do that." I will stop that from happening.
"You seem to trust your friend, that funny, but anyway your door knob is having a little problem, when opening."
"I see."
"So, you need to turn the door knob and push upward, to open it." He did just that, and the door was open. The door is still same, I hope she doesn't come here of all places.
"It appear your bathroom is the only one having this problem, but I notice your title change, and I can't change it, we'll it doesn't matter you are still luck." He start walking to the door. "upupu, you should lock the door from the other, if I was you." He left, and I was thinking about what he said. My title change, but I shouldn't think that right now, there are more important stuff to do. I hear the door bell ring in my door. I knew, who that was. I took a deep breath, so it begin.
"Who there?" I ask
"Its me Maizono." I was nervous, but I open the door, and I see a scare Maizono in my door.
"Naegi…can we talk." She ask
"Sure." She walk into my room, and sit on my bed, just like before.
"Naegi, someone try to come into my room."
"What?" I said, and I was thinking, if that was a lie, or the truth.
"Maybe it was Monobear."
"No it wasn't, I check, but nobody was there."
"Who else could it been?" I ask her.
"I'm not saying is one of our friends, but I'm still scared of going back to my room."
"But remember the plan Celestia came up with, nobody can't come out of in the night time."
"Yeah, but what if someone broke that rule."
"you shouldn't doubt your friend, Maizono." I said. Maybe if I said something different we can change something.
"I know but I'm still scare, so I want to stay here."
"What!?" I was shocked, I don't remember this part. Maizono is giving me her sad puppy eyes, so I can't refuse.
"I….I understand." I couldn't say no to her like that.
"Thanks Naegi!" She smile. I have to think of something else now. "I knew I can trust you." I laugh nervously. Oh, now I remember, I have to teach her the way to open the door.
"Maizono, to open the bathroom door, you must turn the door knob and push it up, like this." I did the sequence, and open the door.
"Oh, I see." Then we hear the bell, and Monobear speaking.
"You should be careful Maizono." She give me her keys.
"Of course, don't worry." She smile. I knew she was lying to me. I went to Maizono's room, and I sit down, and lean on the door. I have to wait for Leon to come inside the room, and stop them myself. I was feeling a bit tired, but when I remember Maizono death body, and what I felt when she died, I got angry, and I was not tired. I hear footstep coming from outside, and I breath heavily, I can't lose my friend, I don't want to suffer again. Then the door closed, and I open the door, and I hear fighting inside my room. I kick the door open, and I see Leon turning back to me.
"Maizono!" I yell. Leon wasn't expecting me being here, but he charge at me, with the sword, and I dodge it. He continued with his wild swings, and I dodge, jump, and kick him on the head, knocking him out cold. I breath heavily, and I try to open the door to the bathroom. I open it, and I see Maizono surprise face. I feel really happy, and I laugh happily, but then. I started to cry, I couldn't control my self, I was really, really happy, to see her alive.
"Why are you crying Naegi." She ask, but I couldn't answer her, because I was still crying.
"Im..really..happy to.. alive." I manage to say that.
We both didn't move for a while, and I finally calm down. I move to Leon unconscious body, and pick him up.
"What are you going to do with him?" She ask me, scared.
"I'm going to put him to his bed, and also I want to talk with you." I walk to leon room, and gently put him to bed, and I murmur "I'm sorry" before leaving. I came back to my room, and closed the door. I see Maizono with despair in her eyes, sitting down in the bed, looking down.
"You were about to kill Leon, were you Maizono." I ask. She twitch to my question, but she didn't answer. " But you fail, and you ran to the bathroom, didn't you." She nodded. "why did you do it, you could of die, back there." I raise my voice a bit.
"Is that the reason you cry, when you saw me there."
"Yes, I was very happy to see you alive." She look away from me.
"I want to get out of here, and see my family." She said.
"Do your family want to see you kill somebody." I said
"No, but-"
"But, nothing, you could ask me for help or anyone else, don't fall into despair Maizono, we will get out of here together.." I said with confidence. She look at me, and begin crying.
"I'm sorry Naegi, please forgive me."
I pet her head, "just don't do that ever again." She nodded, and she cry more. After a while, she fell asleep, and I decide to sleep with her. I sit down, and lean in the door to sleep, but with smile in my face, I begin to sleep. I woke up, by a voice calling to me.
"Naegi." I open my eye to see Maizono.
"Good morning."
"Come on hero, we need to go to the cafeteria." I got up, and open the door.
"Naegi" Maizono call for me.
"Thanks, for saving my life." She blush, and left.
"No problem." I smile. I have something else to do, and I headed to Leon's room. I knock in the door, later Leon open the door.
"Naegi!?" Before he said anything else, I bow to him.
"I'm sorry about what Maizono did to you, and I want you to forgive her." He was shocked, and embarrassed, when people walking down the hallways saw me like this.
He sigh, "Don't worry about it, I was scare at what I did, and I'm thankful, at what you did."
"Really, thank you Leon!" I said, with a smile. I can change their fate, so I can change all of their fate.
"Anyway, I need to get ready, so I'll see you in the cafeteria.
"Yeah." Leon close the door, and I happily walk to the cafeteria. When I show up at the cafeteria, and sat down, I hear someone talking to me.
"Well somebody is really happy." Enoshima said.
"I'm not." But I couldn't hide my smile.
"Well you had a good dream then, I know that feeling." Hagakure said.
"Where Leon" Ishimaru ask.
"I'm right here." Leon show up.
"I see, well everyone, let continue our search." After more discussion, we all scattered. I decided to rest a bit In the table, but someone came to me again.
"Are you okay Naegi?" Fujisaki ask.
"Yeah, I just didn't sleep well, that all." I said.
"I see I'm glad." She smile, but I see him scratch his arm.
"Why are you scratching your arm." I ask.
"A mosquito bite me last night."
" Well, you were asleep, after all."
"But I wasn't asleep"
"What do you mean?"
"I just watch the mosquito suck my blood."
"Why did you let it suck your blood!" That is strange.
"Well I coud not kill another living thing, and also he probably had family waiting for him."
I laugh nervously. That one way to see it. "Just don't scratch it, and you will be fine."
"But what if it get really itchy." He ask.
"Just mark a "X" with your arm to the itch, to stop from scratching it."
"Wow, you are really smart Naegi." He smile. "I'm also wondering, where did that mosquito come from, there has to be a garden near by, and if that true, wen can get out." Oh, that garden, yeah, there is one in the top floor. "If we all work together, we can all get out."
"Yeah, if we don't fall into despair, we can all get out of here alive." I said.
"You really are amazing." He smile. I scratch my head, and smile.
"Anyway, thanks for the help, let talk more in a other time." Fujisaki said, and left.
I yawn, and I got up to look around. I walk around, and I bump Into Leon.
"Hey Naegi."
"Hey, Leon I'm sorry for kicking you."
"It alright, everyone got out alive from there, so thanks."
"um…no problem."
"I hate being here, trap, and the killing."
"Yeah, but don't worry, we can all get out."
"You seem confidence about that."
"Of course" I said.
"Well, good luck, we shall see if you are right." He said that, before leaving.
"As of right now, it is night time." I yawn, and quickly went to my room to rest.
I went to my bed and I was thinking. Everything is going to be fine, and I can really do it, I can finally see hope.
