Gah! It's been a long while without writing ANYTHING! Seriously, I need to stop writing something to chapter two and quitting it! I hate my writers block problem...it's type S!
Anyway! thankfully I remembered this story and went on to start it back up again!
Reviews:
This one person: The rooms? I don't have a perfectly accurate idea, but I know enough about the rooms so I know where each and every one is. But, this isn't based off of the actual CP, so the rooms and how everything goes down IS different.
Also, please make an account that takes no more then a minute so I can actually respond to any reviews you might have...
On to Chapter Three! (Finally!)
With a loud grunt, Nenji impacted on the ground of the infirmary, slightly confused as to how the hell he tripped...he should sit down on one of the beds...
*Weeeeeeeeezzzze*
His brain fully registered why the hell he couldn't do that, so he instead just left it alone, but he still had one problem...
Getting up.
"Izumi...I can't move..." he muttered, though loud enough that hopefully she got the idea of helping him up. But there wasn't anyone there...Where did she go? Wasn't she just right there a moment ago? Was meeting up with her just a dream? If so, why the hell did it seem so real...not to mention the broken shards of a Power Stone that was in his hand...
"IZUMI!" he called out again, but quickly closed his mouth, not moving an inch at all. It dawned upon him as he realized why he wasn't getting help, and some memories started floating back into his head.
Buy why? He never went here before...but, Izumi...upstairs...Blood...
He coughed slightly, looking at his arm that had the cut on it, except it wasn't there anymore...
He looked ahead into the room, at the desk not that far away. If only he could understand what was happening...
With seemingly new strength, Nenji stood up slowly, and walked towards the desk, every part of his instict told him NOT to get close, but maybe listening to his instict would kill him first.
Then again...it did help him with his first run in with the ghost, with Kain's lighter and that bottle of Alchoal. That bag and the Nail puller seemed helpful...but it was like he knew that if he grabbed one of those instead of the lighter and the bottle, he was going to die no matter what he did.
And the same thing here. Like when he first came upon this door, he knew instantly that something bad would have happened to him if he went in there at that time...so he didn't.
Piano wire...Kain...
"Kain's dead...isn't he?" he asked himself, stopping in his tracks. "And I'll be dead if I keep going towards that desk!" he told himself, and turned around, and made it out of the infirmary.
*SHHHHEEZZZZ*
"GAHHH!" *Cough* *Cough Cough*. The hell? He was laying on one of the beds to the infirmary...
"Oh dear! I'm glad you're alright Nenji!" that voice...Izumi was sitting on the bed, while he was completely on it. His arm was patched up, and he was just...confused.
"Wait how...I thought..." he started, deeply confused.
"You've been here before haven't you?"
A voice exploded in his mind, and he rushed up. "Izumi, leave now!" he yelled, quickly taking her hand and rushing out of the infirmary. Izumi just followed, dumbfounded, but they made it out...
Right as the doors shut, fast enough to completely split a human or anything in half.
"So I was right..."
Izumi stared at Nenji, closely. "You heard that too right? "So I was right" ?" she asked, eyes a bit wide as she was confused. They've been here before? When? She doesn't remember that at all...
But Nenji stared at the doors. Not looking at Izumi. "Izumi, never leave my side. I have a feeling...that..."
"With me, we can't die."
He remembered, he is the perfect survival tool in this place. He remembered how everything went down, he knows all the rooms, whats in the rooms, who is here at the moment, who dies, who lives, and most of all...
how to get out.
Cody and Kita glanced at the doors to the infirmary, deciding if they should enter it or not. On one hand, going in there seems like the best choice since nothing else is in this closed space...except a lot of deadly traps and whatnot. On the other hand, this room could have something worse then anything that they've seen before...
And Cody had a feeling that they should go in there, maybe there's a bed or two so that they could rest or...possible escape from the many dangers in the halls. It seemed like the best choice, so Cody grabbed Kita's hand slowly.
"Lets go, there isn't anything for us out here." he said. If nothing was in this room, nothing at all. They were stuck, completely. She nodded, then coughed a bit. "O-okay..." she said slowly. They both walked into the infirmary, just as the lights in the room came on. Cody and Kita made way to the left of them, ignoring everything else. They spotted two beds, close to each other.
"Alright, Kita, lets take a quick nap." he said, looking at her and dropping any sort of formaility. Why? Why deal with formalilty in a place like this, where death looms over everyone?
She actually flinched, hearing her first name coming from Cody. But didn't get mad at it either. "O-Okay..." she was mentally tired, and hopefully this would help her a lot.
They laid down on the beds, and quickly, surprisingly, fell asleep.
Nenji stopped right as he turned a corner, not moving an inch. "Listen, Izumi, whatever I say or whatever I do, is for a reason, alright? It may seem weird, but it's the truth." he said, still not moving.
She nodded. She wasn't feeling like not believing him...after all, he did save them by leaving the infirmary when they did. Like he...knew exactly when the doors would shut.
He stared at the corner. "There isn't a pretty site once we pass this corner, so I want you to bare with me." He didn't wait for an answer, but rounded the corner and the site was truely not pretty at all...
4 dead bodies. Four, in one spot. All decaying and smelling like the end of the world. Izumi's eyes widened, but she held her mouth to not scream or make noise. But she did wimper...
Nenji stopped right at the closest body, staring down at the figure finding out it to be a girl. He didn't bother looking at the name tag, but he looked at the other bodies.
"One of them...was killed by someone who is here." he stated bluntly. Izumi's eyes closed slowly. "They're here...now?" she asked, a tear beginning to form from her eye.
He gulped, and nodded. The time they were here last, he encountered this murderer around the second wing...She isn't tall, nor is she weak. A complete nut.
"But, it doesn't matter sense we wont be meeting this person, ever." He hoped that, this person didn't have the same thing he has...the ability to remember what happened. Or else he'd be dead...
She looked confused, but happy at the same time. Good...no meeting with this person ever. But something else...had her confused.
"Nenji, how do we get out anyway?" she asked.
He blinked, then sighed. If he told her now, he knew something bad would happen. Which is why...
"I'll tell you as soon as we meet up with the others." he didn't say 'who', sense that'd be just as bad as saying how.
That got her more confused, but she didn't continue on with the topic. "Alright..."
They continued moving, past the bodies and up the hallway. Their path split in two...
Nenji, knowing pretty much everything, looked left. "Not that way. Trust me." Evil spirit, and he wasn't in the mood with dealing with a evil spirit. He looked right. "That way, can be as bad, depending on what we do there. So this way." he went right, slowly so she could follow close.
She nodded, looking left, then following Nenji.
It wasn't like he wasn't scared or anything, knowing what would happen. The fact was that this place was ten times more scary now that he remembered what happens. But, maybe...
"The fact that I'm doing what I'm doing...wouldn't that change what should happen?" he whispered to himself, then his eyes widened. What if, by some odd force of chance and fate, he died due to the fact that he could remember? In that case, best not try to change to much...
What if, by changing fates and the like, said people die in more horrible ways? It was truly confusing...but, if that was the case, should he continue trying to change things?
More or less, he knew the way out, should he just, ditch the others and get out?
No! That is the wrong type of thought, he would never, and shouldn't ever, consider doing something so...horrible. Nobody derserves to die or be in a place like this!
"Izumi, hold my hand." he said in a deep whisper, but load enough for her to hear.
She looked at him slightly, and nodded. Something doesn't seem right...she felt like the more she walked this way, the more she lost sight of herself...
Should she tell Nenji? It's probably nothing...
She took his hand, eyes downcast for the sights she might see in this place.
[A/N. Just a note; Izumi and Nenji are pretty much the only OC's your gonna see for a while.
Kain's dead, Cody and Kita are currently asleep, so that just leaves those two. For now...Hehehehe...]
They walked a for a few more minutes, before noticing a red door towards their left, and another dead body to their right. Nenji stared blankly at the red door, before turning to look at the dead body.
"Died from losing to much blood. Tendons in her feet were cut pretty bad." he explained quietly. This wasn't a 'bad' spirit, for now at least. As long as they didn't read that paper on the ground...they should be fine with this.
All Izumi seemed good for was nodding and listening...Was there something she could do? Anything? She wasn't exactly happy that all she could do was follow him around and hold his hand. Which...wasn't a bad thing.
Okay, so she understood they were in a place were death was around just about every corner. It wasn't a dream, they were really here. And they're here again. How did they make it out? Did any of them die the last time?
Wait...if they got out, why are they still coming back?! She suddenly seemed more alert than she was a few moments ago. She tugged on Nenji's hand, to get his attention.
Once he looked in her direction with a confused look, she explained with a quiet whisper. "Nenji...What if...How does this make any sense! If we got out, why are we here again! We shouldn't be here if we managed to get out!" she was actually glad she could bring something of importance up...
Nenji's eyes widened for a second, then he blinked and looked away. "We've been here a total of 5 times..." he said bluntly.
Her eyes suddenly went wide, then she gasped loudly. "5-5-5 times!" she almost yelled, almost. If they have been here FIVE times, that must mean that they failed somehow on escaping! That wasn't good at all! How did they fail? Wait...
Why is she thinking about this? The proof is right there; they're here again. For the 5th time at that! And somehow, something about this time seems off like...
Nenji remembers.
Oh. That's why it seems all so confusing. "Nenji...if we've been here 5 times already, then whats so different about this time that you remember everything!" she whispered, her eyes downcast.
He flinched slightly. Should he mention..? Well, she wont let him off the case so..."Izumi. The reason we failed is because we were never...meant to leave." Truth be told...The way out was the reason that they kept on coming back! They were missing something about that detail! There had to be-
"W...what..." she let go of his hand slowly, before staring away with a blank expression. "We...can't...leave?" she shook her head. Nenji put a hand on her shoulder. "The way out, it involves our paper scraps, apparently, it's only an idea though, we fail at this way out and the day ends up reseting itself." he said, looking down, before turning her around quickly and staring her in the eyes.
"I know that we were missing something all those times! A note, or a piece of...something! Trust me, Izumi, there is a way out. We just haven't been able to reach it yet!"
Yet, we still continue this endless route. I wish I could find out the real way out. Maybe...that Naho girl has something to do with it? Or...
"Are you...new here?"
His skin actually paled. His faith in himself faded slightly. Wait a damn minute...that voice...that tone... He looked right at the red closet, it was opened and a girl was standing in the door way. She was wearing a red coat and had a long ass knife on her side, as well as a sword.
He gulped, and Izumi looked in the same direction. She pulled on his shirt slightly. "W-Who is that...?"
With a snarl, he raised his hands and brought them up in an attack formation. "It's the bitch with an attitude, Linda." he said plainly.
Maybe finding her in the second wing, or even mentioning finding her in the second wing, ruined any chances he had of surviving. Last time...She killed Kita and Izumi in one fucking blow.
Which lowered his determination pretty damn quickly. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out his own knife.
"Listen Izumi, this is that one girl. Remember? Okay, here is what I want you to do, and listen damn carefully!" he raised his voice, and then spoke in a whisper.
"You're getting away. Go back down the hallway, then turn left. Don't go straight." Fucking spirit..."After going straight, head directly forward till you hit the shoe lockers. Stay there." he whispered silently.
Her eyes teared up slightly, and she ran off.
The girl, Linda, looked at Izumi with a sad look, before pulling her knife out and smirking at Nenji.
"Ah, so how exactly do you know me? I don't remember you on my calender for murdering..." she grumbled, then charged. Nenji stared at her knife with the intent of protecting the hallway at all costs.
"Bring it on, bastard."
*CHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII*
*SLAM*
"God dammit!" Nenji opened his eyes and rubbed his head, staring at his bed with confusion. What just happened exactly? That dream was so weird...Doesn't matter!
He sat up slowly, taking in his surroundings. Okay...this was his room alright. Now more important matters to attend to...
"I am not gonna fucking let anyone die dammit!" he slamed his fist on his desk, and smirked. "And that asshole will not kill me again."
This time-
This time it was real. This time...
it is ON!
"3...2...1...Pull!" Izumi cheered louded, and pulled. At that exact moment, Nenji waited...Earthquake! Right then and there, he yelled. "Guys, meet in the damn infirmary, when you get there!"
All he got was eye looks, before they suddenly all vanished from sight.
He was ready dammit. He took some power stones and a few charms from Izumi today. Sure he felt bad but he had to do this, to protect. The only thing that he mentioned differently today was...
"Hey guys, bring walkietalkies!"
They didn't ask, but they brought them.
Fuck dimensions, as long as they were close enough in two different spaces, they should be able to talk. Go Occult forums and crap!
He was gonna really give his all this time. He remembered way before he normally does, and this'll be...
"This will be the 19th time." he said, upon sitting up in a old school room with busted up windows and two doors. He was so ready for this crap. He took his radio, and turned it on.
"Nenji, calling in you guys. Whenever you pick up, remember; infirmary first. Call me when you get there."
Electric items wouldn't work. But these radios weren't Electric. Go him!
All he had to do was...wait here till they made it to the infirmary. The paths they take mattered, sure, but he knew they could make it.
"Lets go, heavenly host elementary!"
Shocker!
WhOA! 5 times? They did the wrong method, FIVE FREAKING TIMES!
THis chapter may have seemed confusing, but the more times they fail, the more of a chance that Nenji and the others are gonna know all the crap that'll happen.
That can backfire though, so don't think I wont throw twists...xD!
Met a new character, though she killed Nenji right off the bat. (HAHAHAHAHAH-!) AHEM xD!
18th time they failed. This is when the actual fun begins! Stay tuned, cause I am sure as hell not gonna stop writing this! It is only beginning!
Nenji sucks with knives, xD! But, he did bring a weapon that I wont mention till later...xD!
I hope that you'll understand what just happened! It went by so damn fast...xD!
Next time: Truth is a lie, but I ate the pie!
Idea's: Nenji kicks ass. Nobody dies this time. (SPOILER DAMMIT!) xD!
