Wow it's been awhile hasn't it, but that noted I'm going to try and finish this story. I'm in a completely different mindset than when I started this, but hopefully I can still make you guys a good story. I'm also going to be rewriting one of my old stories Ghost of the Tunnels, it was a story I made for school. I wasn't given enough time to truly write it how I wanted, so look forward to that. I would also like to give a trigger warning for this chapter.
Lets try uploading this again with out whatever the fuck code that was, thanks for everyone who told me about it so I could fix it
Mai looked boredly out the car window, watching the scenery pass by her. Naru hadn't told her anything about this case, other than it was very dangerous. The drive seemed to last forever but finally they approached what Mai assumed was the house. She picked up a very said vibe from the house, she couldn't explain it, but she felt a familiar feeling.
When they approached the door they were greeted but a lady, whose green eyes told the story that she was missing something. She said her house was haunted by the spirit of her daughter, she didn't say how she died, but Mai had a feeling on how. As she showed the team around the house, Mai felt that same feeling again, it was like it keep following her. After the tour, they set up base, but Mai found herself wandering away from the team. The next thing she knew, she was in what looked like a bedroom that hadn't been touched in years.
"You get me, I can feel it, we are similar."
"Hello? Is someone here?" Mai called out to what seemed like no one.
"You get my pain, I felt it when you first entered, you're not like the others, you're just like me. I see it in your soul, you've dealt with a great pain in your life, and then you tried to take your life away. Unlike me you failed, how sad is that, you couldn't even take your life." The voice said, but it seemed faint, like it was taking from a distance away.
"How do you know all this?"
"It's written all over your face, and your eyes hide the sadness, covering it with fake happiness."
"I'm happy," before Mai could finish her sentence Naru burst into to the room.
"Who are you talking to, and where the hell have you been. You can't just walk out and not tell anyone where you're going."
"I'm sorry, i don't know what came over me, i just followed this feeling and i wound up in here."
"Feeling?"
"Yeah, I sensed this great sadness and it lead me in here. Then this voice started talking to me."
"And what did this voice say?"
"Just some random stuff, I didn't really have any meaning."
"Well for one you're lying, and wait ever the "voice" said could be beneficial to the case, so tell me."
"I think she just talked about how she killed herself…..and how I failed to."
Naru unexpectedly pulled Mai into a hug, and she instantly felt safe. They stood there frozen in time, just taking in this moment for themselves. She didn't want to pull away, but the voices quickly approaching them made her.
"Oh Noll, how great it is to see you again," Elisa said pulling Naru into an unwanted hug.
"Yes it is, well let's all head back to the base, and i will inform everyone on the case facts."
When everyone was settled Naru started his speech, first was the rules. Never be alone, always inform at least one person where you are, and finally don't do anything stupid. It seemed like those were directed at someone in particular, but Naru quickly started in with the case facts. had hired us to deal with the ghost of her former daughter Erin. She committed suicide two years ago and was haunting the house. She demanded we only cleanse her daughter, and we are not allowed to exercise her.
With that they called it a night and most of the team headed to their rooms, Mai felt a little awkward not knowing anyone on the team. She knew they would hopefully grow to like her, well maybe not Elisa. Mai sayed back in base with Naru and Lin, but she quickly grew tired and found herself on the couch drifting off to sleep.
Mai found herself in the bathroom, she was confused on how she wound up here, but as she approached the door she noticed a girl sitting on the floor. She was crying, Mai asked if she was okay, but the girl seemed to not here her. That's when she pulled out a razor, and slit it over her wrists. Mai screamed for her to stop, but again the girl heard nothing. That's when bursts into the room, with her eyes wild she tries to stop the bleeding, all while calling 9/11.
Mai was awoken from her dream in a fit of tears, Naru runs over to her asking if she's alright. With no one in the room he curls up with her on the couch, holding her until shes okay to explain what happened.
After Mai explains the dream, she starts to calm down, but Naru hasn't stopped holding her. They fall asleep in eachothers arms, only to be woken up by Lin at the start of his shift. Once everyone groups up they are give their tasks for the day, Elisa was supposed to find the location of the spirit, and well Mai was supposed to sit in the base.
Elisa came back to the base half an hour claiming she found the spirit in the mother's bathroom. Her, Mai, and Naru went to investigate, but Mai felt strange about all of this. When Mai entered the room all she could think was that this was wrong. Elisa explained how the spirit resided here, but Mai quickly interrupted.
"No, this isn't right." she accidentally said aloud.
"Excuse me? Whos the medium here."
"This isn't right, it's her bedroom and the connected bathroom, that's where the feeling is the strongest."
"The feeling! Are you kidding me, are you stupid, how did you even get into college. Noll please tell your friend here how wrong she is."
"Actually I believe she's right in this case, it's more logical, and fits with Mais encounter and her latest dream."
"But she's not even a medium and i feel her here!?"
"Actually Mai is, that so called feeling is how she senses the spirits. She's even cleansed a spirit before." Naru says slightly proud of Mai.
"Whatever you'll all see later that I'm right." Elisa said storming out of the room.
Mai and Naru stood in silence before Mai broke it, she thanked Naru for standing up for her. He only replied with he was just stating that facts that seemed to line up with her and not Elisa.
Erin sat in her room in dark writing in her diary.
The kids at school are making fun of me again, they told me everyone would be happier if i disappeared. I don't think I can take it anymore, I just want to be gone, done with everyone. Just fly away from this terrible world and find peace with daddy in heaven. I think It's my time, and I'm very sorry that I have to leave my mom. This just seems like the best thing to do, so this will be my last diary entry. With that good bye cruel world.
Erin.
My legs are dangling off the edge,
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend,
I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
My legs are dangling off the edge,
A stomach full of pills didn't work again,
I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
[Verse 1 -]
Gone too far and yeah, I'm gone again,
It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends,
I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends,
One's a bottle of pills, one's a bottle of gin,
I'm 20 stories up, yeah, I'm up at the top,
I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off,
Asphalt to me has never looked so soft,
I bet my mamma found my letter, now she's calling the cops,
I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it,
'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance,
Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent,
'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is,
I've been trying too long, with too dull of a knife,
But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice,
I never bought a suit before in my life,
But when you go to meet God, you know you wanna look nice.
So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
[Chorus -]
My legs are dangling off the edge,
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend,
I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone,
My legs are dangling off the edge,
A stomach full of pills didn't work again,
I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
[Verse 2]
We hit the sky, there goes the light, no more sun, why's it always night?
When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream,
When you can't dream, well, what's life mean?
We feel a little pity, but don't empathize
The old are getting older, watch a young man die,
A Mother and a Son and someone you know, smile at each other and realize
You don't know what happened to that kid you raised,
What happened to the Father, who swore he'd stay?
I didn't know 'cause you didn't say,
Now Mamma feels guilt, yeah, Mamma feels pain,
When you were young, you never thought you'd die,
Found that you could but too scared to try,
You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye,
Climb to the roof to see if you could fly.
So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
[Chorus]
My legs are dangling off the edge,
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend,
I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone,
My legs are dangling off the edge,
A stomach full of pills didn't work again,
I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky,
Like a bird so high,
Oh I might just try,
I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky,
Like a bird so high,
Oh I might just try,
Oh I might just try.
Well that was that short long overdue chapter, I'm really wanting to get back into writing. It really helps me handle the stress in my life, but besides all that i really hope you enjoyed this chapter.
