Chapter 2, Space 2, Main Entrance Hall
Green spent a massive amount of time calming Blue down, but sometime afterwords, he found a nail puller. The only thing he knew of that was boarded up something in room 1-A. They went there and activated another pulley.
They then returned to a previously inaccessible pulley. The floor was fine now so Green went over and yanked the lever down. It click to a halt and the duo walked back to the entrance hall.
Flooring had been placed so that the forth hallway was reachable. "Now that is a neat puzzle." Blue said.
After words they explored the new section of the school. It led to a staircase up to an infirmary.
Blue took out a candle, "So people will know." as her only explanation. Pesky woman. They kept going.
A staircase led to a boring bathroom. At least it was until Green saw Blue with a strange expression in the mirror, or the shadow that emanated despair.
"SOOOUUULLL!" Cried Crystal's voice. As soon as it was cried Blue fled the room. Green walked after her. She was standing in the hall speaking nonsense about death of a friend and how they were to die painfully for eternity.
Green didn't know what to do. He did the only thing that came to mind.
He hugged her. Hard.
And it seemed to work as she slowly calmed down and pushed him away saying that he was a pervert.
After that they went down stairs and went the opposite way.
They came back to the Infirmary. A ghostly girl walked into it. He tried the door. Giggling and laughing could be heard inside.
The door opened. A pair of ghost we're playing with a male student. A very familiar first year. "Bii bouher, pla wit meh!" Called a girl with a missing eye. On Dia's left a ghost kid was missing half her head and holding his hand was the ghost girl with the missing eye.
"Dia!" Shouted Blue. Dia looked over and waved with his free hand. "Hi seniors. How 'bout you play with us?" He said. The ghosts had big innocent eyes. Green was pretty sure that the boy ghost had been the one that had tried to kill him, but maybe these spirits were safe. He didn't want to tempt fate.
"Dia come here its dangerous over there!" Shouted Green honestly concerned about his underclassman. Dia looked at him. "You don't understand senior Green. These kids are innocent, trapped here in this school. Look at this." Dia pulled out an old newspaper clipping.
It was about a serial kidnap and murder case. The pictures of four children reported missing where placed on the article's left. The girl without an eye was Yuki, the boy Ryou, and Tokiko missing her head, the last girl's names were coated in blood. They had been kidnaped. Then killed.
Murdered.
By Yoshikazu Yanagihori.
Blue demanded that Dia come with them. She continued to demand until the ghosts lifted Dia in the air.
"Ahh! I'm a bit scared of heights, please put me down!" He shouted. One ghost pushed them from the room.
"How are we supposed to get Diamond now?" Green asked. "Those ghosts could easily rip him apart." He added.
"We're helpless." Said Blue.
"To get your friend you must find the repentance of their killer."
Green turned suddenly. A girl in a uniform and glasses stood with part of a doll body in her hands.
"The killer carried a doll. The incomplete doll I carry now. If you want your friend you have to finish the doll. It may be hard as he will most likely be unwilling to part with it." Green noticed her big eyes were cloudy like dead fish. "Who are y-" "NAHO!" Shouted Blue. Green held her back. "You mean the person who wrote the site you got that charm from? That Naho?" He asked.
Blue nodded eagerly. "She's amazing Green! She goes everywhere paranormal!" She turned to Naho. "Why are you here?" She asked. Naho deadpanned. "I died."
Before Blue could continue the conversation Green began. "Are you sure this will work, we just have to complete the doll and show it to them? And avoid the murderer." He asked. Naho nodded. He grabbed Blue's hand. "Let's go." He said and taking the doll part from the ghost girl left the room. They wandered around until they found the rest of the doll. They were pretty surprised that they didn't run into the murderer himself seeing from what Naho said he was running around here killing more people.
They connected the doll and it wept creepily. Green decided to ignore it. They returned to the infirmary
"Hey kids look at this!" Shouted Blue showing them the doll. Suddenly the doll began to talk.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I didn't want to kill anyone. I'm so sorry." Said the doll in a sorrowful voice.
"Now go!" Backed Green. "Go to your parents in heaven! Let his penitence free your souls!"
"Mommah." Whispered one.
"Mama! Paupau!" Cried the boy
"Go to them!" Demanded Green.
The three children suddenly looked very cross. They began to float and took Dia up with them. They flew out the door and down the hall, closing the door behind them. Dia was screaming. A rare occurrence for the sleepy boy. Suddenly a loud whooshing noise could be heard followed by an indescribable splattering sound. Dia suddenly stopped screaming.
Blue threw the doll to the ground. They ran out into the hallway. The ghosts disappearing with laughs and giggles. Blue was vomiting. "Blue what is it? Where's Diamond?" He looked down the hall where Blue was.
He stumbled down the hall watching Diamond dripping down the wall. He was splattered across it, as if thrown at incredible speed. But seeing as the children were ghosts, it could be possible. It was horrifying, Dia had been killed so quickly, so horribly. It was horrible but he had to be strong, at least for Blue. He took Diamond's name tag, adding it to the list of the dead.
He turned to comfort Blue. She pushed him away. "No! We could have saved him! Somehow! Don't just accept this! Get away from me! You didn't do anything!"
"I couldn't have done anything!" He shouted. She screamed incoherently at him before running off. He heard he say something though. Obviously talking about his new collection of name tags.
"You just enjoy desiccating the dead."
"Blu-"
He started to follow her but he heard a grunt right behind him. He turned to see the hammer, and nothing more.
