Chapter 4 of Ghost hunt
Hey, it's me please don't be mad at me for not uploading sooner, I have been really busy with school stuff and I haven't had much free time. I will try and post as soon as I possibly can though, okay! Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying it so far. The storyline behind the orphanage is quite similar to Hansel and Gretel (The Japanese horror movie) but I won't take any credit off that part. I don't own Ghost Hunt or the characters except my own. Here's the next chapter for you all!
"MAI!" Everything faded away as I passed out.
I woke up to find myself in darkness again and Naru was kneeling beside me.
"Are you okay?" (He helps her to her feet)
"Yeah, thanks Naru. Do you know why I passed out?" (I gave him a curious look)
"Yeah, I think it was just because you smelt that blood. It has a link to the orphanage somehow and a lot of history comes with it. "
"Do you mean when you told me that there was something Reno didn't know about the orphanage? "
"Precisely, although I think it's too early for you to know just yet. You need to get settled in first and I'm sure you're just dying to see those kids of his. I have to say they are pretty cute for kids."
"I didn't know you cared so much about kids Naru. I guess you're right though, it probably would be a good idea to get settled in first. It wouldn't hurt to take a look around either and I really do want to meet them. I guess I'll have to wait for you to tell me then huh. Not the most fun of ideas but what can you do?"
"You should wake up now in case they get a bit worried or something. You might feel your heads sore after banging it off the ground when you fell."
"Awww, something I'm already not looking forward too. I guess I'll see ya soon then."
I opened my eyes slowly as I tried to focus my vision. When I could see properly I found myself on a bed in a lovely room. (It had pinkish walls paintings of buildings as well as flowers etc.) When I looked to my side there were four pairs of Indigo with amber eyes. It made me jump and I realized how much my head hurt after I banged it once again. I let out a yelp and they started saying that I was awake and were starting to bounce up and down when a voice came from the doorway.
"Jesse, Merra, Leo, Serah! You don't want the girl to hurt herself again do you?" (They stopped jumping and immediately apologised altogether.)
"We're sorry miss to have scared you."
"Aww, that's okay! You're all so adorable! "
I looked at them all very carefully as I saw how cute they were. The tallest which I assume is Merra has gorgeous long wavy strawberry pink hair. She was wearing a lovely simple red dress with a blue bow in the middle and little sparkles at the bottom of her dress. The twins looked very similar in a lot of ways. They both had light purple hair and the were the same height. They were even wearing matching clothes like twins would. Serah was wearing a white top with the words Singing sensation which was coloured in with golden sparkles. She also wore a pair of black jeans and down near the bottom of them there was a silvery sparkle pattern in a diagonal shape. Leo was basically wearing the same except his top was black and the writing on it was coloured in Silver. His jeans were white with a golden sparkle pattern in a diagonal shape. My eyes finally landed on Jesse. You could tell that she was the youngest because she was a bit small but still looked very happy. She also had long hair which was very curly and a red colour like her dad. She was wearing a tshirt with a blue dungarees dress over it. I was brought out of my thoughts when the woman spoke again.
"How are you feeling? Does it hurt badly?"
"Oh no, not too much! I really must your kids are quite adorable."
"Oh thank you. Do you want to go back to sleep or anything?"
"Oh, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking, Would it be okay to play with your kids? I'm sure they're dying to have some fun!"
They're faces lit up as I said this and they went over to their mom and I now realized that she had crutches. (I did say in the last chapter that she had sprained her ankle so it would only be right for her to have crutches.)
"Can we mom, Pleaseeeee?"
"Well... Okay but behave for her and don't make her hit her head again. I will just go tell the others that you're awake. I told them I would take care of you whole they set up base and Reno went to help them. May I ask you your name?"
"My name is Man and it's a pleasurable meet you, can I ask you yours?"
"Well, it is nice to meet you too Mai! My name is Sylvia dear, I should be going now. Don't want the others to start worrying. Oh right, if you want to look for the room they're using as their base just go down to the end of this hall, turn left and it's the second door down alright. You four make sure she doesn't get lost okay?" (Merra spoke for the younger kids)
"Don't worry mom I'll make sure she doesn't get lost!"
"That's my girl, play nicely ok!" (She left the room and I got out of the bed I was in and dressed it so I was being polite. I turned around to the four children now chasing each other around the room.)
"So what do you guys want to play? I know lots of cool games that we could play!"
(The twins jumped up and down in sync)
"We have one, we have one!" (Merra already knew what they wanted to play)
"All you too ever want to play hide and seek!"
"Yeah, Merra is right! Why won't you play a different game for a change?"
"We can't, hide and seek is the best game ever!"
"Well I don't think so, it can get boring after a while."
"Awww, Merra, does this mean we can't play?"
"Well, I don't mind but it would be a good idea to introduce yourselves first wouldn't it? We know her name but she doesn't really know us! Everyone get in a line and I'll start us off. Just say your name, your age, favourite colour and what you like doing best! (everyone got in a line in front of Mai while she gave them a little giggle and a big smile) Hi, my name is Merra! I'm ten years old, my favourite colour is blue and my favourite thing to do is bake lots of cookies, cakes and sweets! (She pointed to the twins and she gave a little curtsey to me before saying 'It's your turn now' to the twins)
"Hi! We're the twins, our name are Serah and Leo. We are both 8 years old! Our favourite colour is Red and our favourite thing to do is play hide and seek and dance to our favourite songs!" (They took each other's hand side and both gave me a bow and pointed to Jesse to indicate that it was her turn)
"Hello there, my name is Jesse and I'm 6 years old. ( See a pattern in their ages?) My favourite colour is orange and my favourite thing to do is practice and play my clarinet!" (She gave me a little twirl )
"Awwww, that is soooo cute! I guess that I will also do an introduction then! Hello, my name is Mai Taniyama. I'm 16 years old, my favourite colour is teal (I just randomly made up a colour for her) and my favourite thing to do would be singing my favourite songs from any anime that I have.(Again, I just made that up. I gave them a small bow ) So, shall we start the game, who wants to start counting?" (The twins immediately hopped at the idea)
"We will, we will! It's only fair since Mai doesn't know her way around yet! "
"Thank you Serah and Leo, your really kind! I know how about we hide altogether, just make it a bit more interesting?" (Again, their eyes lit up at the thought)
"Your on!" (They began laughing and smiling and we're getting ready when I heard a voice I recognised straight away)
"Did I hear someone say hide?" (I turned around and gave Monk a hug as he came up to me)
"Hey there kiddo, you gave us a right scare with your act at the front door! Naru was insisting that we wake you up but Sylvia said that she'd take care of you while you were out and that Reno guy helped us carry in the stuff and set things up!"
"Sorry about that! We were just going to play hide and seek, wanna join us?"
"Would I join you? Sure I will, I'm the master of hiding! Hi there kids, you can call me Monk and I'll be with you for this awesome game of hide and seek!" (Merra , Jesse, Serah and Leo quickly introduced themselves wanting to get on with the game. Since they had another person Jesse went with Monk to hide and Merra went with Mai)
"Merra, do you like playing this game?"
"Well yes but the twins won't stop bugging you until they get to play it. We play it every single day and no matter what they never get tired of it! Of course I know how they feel because I feel the same way whenever I bake! Follow me mai, I have the perfect place to hide!"
"Okay, I'm right behind you!"
She led me to a room with a piano including other instruments. In particular there was a set of matching Violins that were Red, (I'm not going to have an orange clarinet because I don't know if you can get one or not) A black clarinet and a blue flute. There were various other instruments that were in a big box as well as some guitars at the side of the room. There was a table at one end of the room that had music notes and a pair of white vases with pictures of different coloured flowers. She led me over to the big table and we hid underneath it. (Apart from those things it looks exactly like the music rooms in Ouran High School Host Club )
"This is a good hiding place but I've always thought that it was a bit high for one person so it's the first time I've used it, is that okay?"
"Oh don't worry about it Merra, anywhere would have been fine for me! (I heard two sets of footsteps) I think the twins are coming!" (She gave me a little nod as well as a smile while trying to keep herself from laughing out loud as they came into the room to look around)
"Are they in here Leo, we haven't found anyone yet and we're meant to be the masters of hide and seek, not the other way round!"
"Don't worry Serah, we'll find them soon enough. Something tells me that we're gonna find them pretty soon!"
"If you say so, keep looking around in here they might be hiding somewhere we haven't looked!"
They were right we were under the table but I had a funny feeling that something bad was coming. I just knew it, the table started shaking and it we had to climb out and fast!
"Yay, we found you! " (They changed their expressions when the vase lifted up on it's own and flew straight towards the twins and that's when I had to act)
"Serah, Leo, Get out of the wayyyyyy!"
I suppose that was okay, things are starting to get really interesting now aren't they? I'm sorry the other characters haven't got to say much but I will try to change that in my next chapter! I hope you like this chapter. I know the kids seemed quite cheerful and that wouldn't really be right in a real case, normally they would be a bit scared or something. I just wanted them to seem nice when they got introduced for the first time. Please review for me, I want to know what you think and if you have any advice for me. Thanks to all my reviewers and thanks for taking the time to read this! It really means a lot to me.
