Chapter 4
Ayumi`s POV
On the way back, I texted Naomi and Satoshi about what was happening with Yuki and Sachiko which I had actually forgot to mention to them. Naomi replied back asking how and Satoshi didn`t reply. That was what I forgot to ask them, I thought "Just a quick question but do any of you know how you`re here?"I asked the two
"Well...you and your friends appeased us and...after that, we came back but I`m not sure how."Sachiko replied
"Oh."I replied as we walked up the stairs towards my room. Our dad still wasn't happy about what we did but so what. For some reason, my room felt a bit different than it usually does but I ignored it, thinking it to be nothing, it wasn't until the pounding headache started that I knew something was wrong. Yuki and Sachiko were watching frozen again and so I slipped out of my room and went to ask my sister about it only I didn't get far as when I got out of my room, the headache got worse, like my head was being crushed in a vice. I leant against the wall, thinking it would pass only it didn't and so, with all the strength I had left, I started to walk to my sisters room, only to find my vision going blurry and my hearing muffled as I slipped away into the darkness.
"Shinozaki?" I heard a familiar voice mumble, it almost sounded like...Ms Yui. My brain was awake but my body wasn`t and I had no idea where I was, the last I remembered was blacking out outside my room but now, now everything was white...and there was four people there with me. They all seemed familiar but my brain couldn't match their names with their faces and so, I asked "Who are you?"
"Shinozaki...do you not remember us?"One of the people said, looking down at me
"I do...I just...can`t...figure it out."I replied
"We are the ones who died in Heavenly Host, the ones who want to..."One of them started before I cut them off
"NO!"I yelled backing away from them
"We only want to rest in peace Shinozaki." Heavenly Host...they want to rest in peace...Shinohara, Suzumoto, Morishige, Ms Yui...they didn't want revenge...they just wanted to be happy, to rest...or to live another life...
"Oh...sorry...I thought that you were going to say you wanted revenge..."I muttered
"Why would we want revenge?"Mayu asked
"Well...I thought...you...all blamed me...for what happened."I replied awkwardly
"Why would we? You just wanted us all to be friends."Seiko said
"I know but...I should of known Naho couldn't be trusted."I said
"Anyway we didn't bring you here to talk about that, we need you to tell the others that there is a way to talk to us and all you have to do is say one of our names and we will hear you and bring you here but, whenever you do, your head will kind of feel like it`s going to explode but don't worry, it won't it just feels like it would."Ms Yui explained
"Oh my god that is amazing. So we can all still talk to you."I said shocked, they nodded
"Of course you can, you should of known that we would find a way. Only we did kind of only just test it out but it works."Seiko said
"So in other words you tested it on me."I asked
"Yeah."Seiko replied
"Oh yeah guess what."I said
"What?"Mayu asked
"Well after we appeased Yuki and Sachiko, they came back to life."I explained
"Oh my god that`s awesome."Seiko said "Have they seen frozen yet?"
"Yeah, we met up with Kishinuma and his sister and none of us would stop talking about it."I replied
"But were never gonna let it go."Seiko added
When I woke up, I was in a room, it looked a bit like a hospital room, why am I in hospital? There was a doctor there but I wasn't sure why, I only passed out...didn`t I? When I looked around, I saw my parents stood with worried looks on their faces and Yuki and Sachiko stood, confused. When they saw my eyes open, my parents and Hinoe gasped, causing the doctor to turn around and nearly drop his clipboard "Y...you were...d...dead...h...how...are...you..."he stuttered. Dead? I wasn't dead. Unless...whenever we talk to our fallen friends, we die temporarily...so they thought I was...dead? Technically I wasn't dead it was just...my brain stopped working...I don't know I guessed. "Ayumi, what the hell happened?"My dad asked
"Well..."I started, how the hell was I supposed to explain this? "I...passed out and...well...I don't know actually.." It was a lie but they seemed to buy it...that was apart from Hinoe who gave me a look saying that she knew what I had said was a lie.
"B..but you were actually dead! People can't just die and then come back to life a while later!"The doctor who I had actually forgot about said.
"Well I just did. Didn't I?" I said.
"B...but...you can`t! You just can`t!"He said dramatically as a few more people began to run in after hearing the doctor.
"How...how are you alive...?" Someone asked "You were dead a few minutes ago.."
"Well now I`m not."I said, I knew that I was being a bit too silly about all of this I mean, they thought I was dead and yet I was here being sarcastic and stupid about it. Well it wasn't like I could tell them what actually happened, was it? That would go down well "Hi I`m not crazy but me and my friends got stuck in a cursed school and some of them died then before I found out I could still talk to them only when I do, it seems like I`m dead. Oh yeah and I`m not crazy in any way what so ever."
The doctors eventually began to leave and it was just me, my parents, Hinoe, Yuki and Sachiko. It was only then that Hinoe asked "Okay what really happened?" and so, I started to explain what had happened both at Heavenly Host and before.
