Hello! Sorry it's been a while, here's chapter 4! :)

*Warning! There is a story with murder and suicide in this chapter, so please be careful xx It's not too detailed so I think it's fine, but just in case I'm letting you know*. Recap: "Another man exited the car and the women approached, gave him a kiss and went inside the house with him. Now Mai was extremely confused".

The scene changed before Mai's eyes. The women and the man who had arrived in the car were now in a heated argument. Both of them looked furious at each other, the man had spit flying out of his mouth as he shouted; and the women was pointing at the man while yelling in response. All too quickly the man struck the woman with all his might and her head collided with the corner of a table, as she fell to the ground. The woman was unconscious on the floor, yet the man continued to give out abuse, as he bashed the women's head with his foot. The woman was bleeding, yet the man was relentless. The man had stopped to catch his breath for a minute when his eyes widened with terror. He looked down at the women, tears spilling from his eyes, as he held his hands to the top of his head.

Someone else then entered the scene. It was the man who had been kissing the women behind the house. Once he witnessed the women lying dead cold on the floor his countenance changed drastically. He ran at the man who stood in front of the women and swung his arm up to punch him. He knocked the man to the ground and kneeled over him as he repeatedly punched the man in the face. He delivered a side swipe punch to the jaw, and the man fell unconscious.

Yet another person entered the scene when a little boy came downstairs. He spotted the man who stared right back at him with murderous, malevolent eyes. The little boy was powerless against him.

The scene shifted once more and Mai was in the shed where she had had that horrid dream. In the corner was the man who killed the women, who laid unmoving. The child's body was on the bench before it stood the man who appeared responsible, as blood coated his clothing. Lowering his axe, he pulled out a gun, brought it to the side of his head, and pulled the trigger. BANG.

BANG. Mai sprang awake when the gunshot had gone off in her dream. It had felt so real; her heart was beating like crazy. It was frightening just to see that man again, even if she knew it was a dream this time around. The worker was the same person who was in the shed with her in her dream, before Naru had woke her up. Mai turned about the room and saw that Masako was still sound asleep in the bed next to her. It wasn't even daylight yet, but there was no way she was going to go back to sleep. Mai thought that a drink of warm tea might calm her down so she headed toward the kitchen. Mai wasn't walking for long when she stopped in her tracks. She thought that perhaps Naru would want tea, although she doubted he was up yet. Despite her doubts, she turned back in the opposite direction and headed to check the base real quick, to see if he was in there. Once she arrived she didn't know if she should even be surprised. There he was, the I'm-a-genius, narcissist in the flesh. He was looking over a bunch of files while simultaneously reading text on the computer that sat in front of him. He hadn't noticed Mai yet, so she knocked on the door. Naru turned to see who it was as she entered the room.

Mai wondered how long Naru had been up for already, "Hey, Naru. It's pretty early, when did you get up?"

"Naru glanced up to Mai for a split second before looking down at his papers while he responded, "I didn't get up, I haven't gone to sleep".

"What! You've been up all night? You must be tired. I'll go make you some tea". Mai's voiced drifted off as she mentioned getting Naru tea, while skipping out of the office. Mai thought that this situation was so cool; it was just the two of them! She hurried back with some tea for the both of them and sat down in the chair that Lin would normally be seated.

"So…what are you doing?" Mai questioned her boss.

"I know what happened here" Naru answered. Mai was desperate to know what had happened and asked the question within a split second. Naru replied, "My research tells me that 164 years ago there was a couple who had one child that owned this estate, and used it as an orphanage. It appears that there was a man that worked here at the time who murdered the family, before killing himself.

Mai's eyes widened as she linked Naru's evidence to the dreams she had been having. "Naru, I think the woman was having an affair with that worker, and when her husband found out he killed her. When the worker realised he killed the women's husband and thier childa, and then himself", Mai added with a solemn expression. She continued, "Masako said she sensed spirits here, do you think it's the spirits of those that died here?" she inquired.

Naru said he agreed with Mai, that the events that he had proposed had transpired here years ago were the reason they were there now; why the house was haunted to this day.

"So what are you going to do now, Naru?" Mai was dying to know the next plan of action. Naru turned his back to her slightly as he looked back toward his papers. Mai was patiently waiting for his reply, while shouting on the inside to hurry up and tell her. She was too impatient to wait for Naru to share his thoughts, if he was willing to share at all; he usually wasn't. After reading something Naru was turning back towards Mai when his head suddenly fell forwards, as if he had fallen asleep. His shoulders had slumped forward toward Mai also.

"Naru! What's wrong, are you alright?" Mai panicked as she went over to him and placed her hand on his shoulders and knelt down to see his face. She was planning on maybe shaking him awake when his eyes suddenly shot open and narrowed at the sight of Mai. Naru looked different to her, he looked angry.

Mai felt a chill run down her spine "N-Naru?"
