10/15/11, Stab City…
"Chased by a cult of cannibals, nearly get our asses shot off-" Carly says, struggling to get her To Live Or Die In LS tank top off. "-almost drown… how does a shirt get stuck around an arm?!" She says, Johnny walking over and helping her.
"Did you cut your arm on that tree?" Johnny says, seeing blood on Carly's right arm.
"Might've happened when I was trying to fight the current. That river's gonna kill someone someday." Carly says, both unaware that Sachiko was there but invisible.
Sachiko looked at her blood stained scissors, horrified.
"I don't know her… but I hurt her." Sachiko says, Carly turning around.
"Did you hear that?" Carly says, Sachiko covering her mouth.
"Possibly someone outside. Stab City isn't exactly a prison, people can walk in and out as they please." Johnny says.
"It… sounded closer… and like a little girl-" Carly says, hissing a bit when Johnny starts patching up her arm and tries to move it. "Ow! Watch it!" She says, reminding Johnny of Gionna.
Unfortunately, it also reminded Sachiko of Gionna.
"Alright, I'm starting to think I should take you to the hospital." Johnny says, picking the blanket up and putting it around Carly to keep her warm.
Sachiko tried to make herself visible, the scissors dropping and hitting the floor.
"Okay, since when do you keep blood stained scissors here John?" Carly says, Johnny looking and seeing the scissors before going and picking them up.
Sachiko reappears outside the school, Yuki looking at her.
"Wait, where are your scissors?" Yuki asks.
"I… dropped them." Sachiko says, Yuki working out what happened.
"Sachiko… you know the energy is in decline, you can't show yourself as easily now." Yuki says.
"Well… I need new scissors, they were starting to rust anyway." Sachiko says before the two go inside.
Present time…
Sachiko sits up quickly in the bed, breathing heavily, her eyes wide. 'Did that… really happen? Was that who I was?!' She thought, reaching over and flicking on the lamp on the bedside table.
After a few minutes, Sachiko got out of bed and walked into the living room, looking at the sunrise through the large glass wall before going to the couch, Jason sat on it, concerned when he sees the frightened look on her face.
"Sachi, what's wrong?" Jason asks, Sachiko climbing up next to him on the couch.
"I… had a bad dream." Sachiko says.
"You too, kiddo?" Jason says, Sachiko looking at him.
"What was yours about?" Sachiko asks.
"I… it was like looking into the past… seeing a warehouse explode and seeing Dad and Uncle Jack taking Mom out of there." Jason says.
"I think it sounds familiar… I dreamt that… Mommy was hurt after falling in a river… but I hurt her." Sachiko says, Jason pulling her into his arms.
"It's okay, kiddo. Bad dreams are just bad dreams. Mom had a lot of them when she was younger and lost her memory." Jason says, Sachiko hanging onto him. "I had them too, especially after walking in on them when I was 6." He says, Sachiko looking at him.
"Well that's just silly." Sachiko says.
"I didn't know any better, I thought he was hurting her." Jason says.
"Because she was screaming?" Sachiko asks, Jason nodding.
"Yeah… she's awfully small too." Jason says.
"I guess... I know where I get that from." Sachiko says.
"Yeah. Hey, come on. I'll tuck you back in and sing to you until you fall asleep." Jason says, both getting off the couch and walking past the master bedroom, seeing Jocelyn, Michelle and Michael asleep between Carly and Johnny, the 2 year old tucked under Carly's arm and Michelle and Jocelyn curled up next to Johnny. "See? We all have nightmares, Sachi." He says, picking her up into his arms and taking her into her room.
After a while, Sachiko fell back asleep, Jason asleep next to her.
'Happy family… like how it always should be.' Sachiko thought.
It wasn't until 2 hours later that the doorbell ringing woke Sachiko up again, Jason stopping her from getting up before going and answering it…
"Jason?" Sachiko calls after a few minutes, Jason still not back.
Sachiko briefly glanced into the main bedroom, seeing Johnny, Carly, Michelle, Jocelyn and Michael still asleep before going to the living room…
"Jason?!" Sachiko says as she turns the corner, seeing Jason unconscious on the floor, a bruise forming where he'd obviously been hit with the butt of a gun…
"Kid, stay where you are!" A guy says, pointing the Advanced Rifle at Sachiko who ran, the guy chasing her but stopping when he turned the corner, Sachiko holding the only weapon she could find. A pair of scissors from the kitchen.
"Kid, put that down, right now-" The guy says before stepping forward, yelling in pain when by a defensive instinct, Sachiko throws the scissors, the blades embedding deep in the guy's chest.
"LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!" Sachiko shouts, waking the others.
"Johnny, stay with them!" Carly says, bolting into the living room and finding Jason back on his feet, Jason immediately running to Carly and both hugging.
"Who hit you, Jason?!" Carly says, seeing the bruise on his forehead.
"Some guy with an assault rifle… crap, Sachi!" Jason says, the two running into the kitchen to see the guy on the floor fighting unconsciousness, Sachiko's eyes wide as she stared at the blood, shaking violently.
"Mommy, he-" Sachiko says, Carly hugging her before the guy lifts his head up, Jason ramming his foot into the guy's face and knocking him out.
"No one hurts my family!" Jason shouts, repeatedly hitting the guy but not realizing the guy was dead.
"Jason, he's finished!" Johnny says after closing Michelle, Jocelyn and Michael inside the bedroom.
"He's… dead? I… I killed someone…" Sachiko says, tears running down her face.
"It's okay, baby. It's okay." Carly says, lightly stroking Sachiko's hair as she held her close and Johnny called 911.
11 years ago, Klebitz house…
"Daddy, mommy's in trouble!" 6 year old Jason says, pulling on Johnny's arm and waking him up, both hearing Carly screaming "Get off me, you're gonna hurt my daughter!"
"Jason, stay in here!" Johnny says, getting up and grabbing a bat before closing the door and running into the living room.
"Get the hell off my wife!" Johnny shouts, the guy using Carly as a shield aiming his knife at Carly's stomach.
"Uh uh. You and your wife have something me and my wife lost." The guy says, Carly trying not to scream as pain shot through her.
"LSPD! Let her go and put your hands on your head!" Everyone heard an officer shout through a megaphone.
"Now, I'd listen if I were you." Johnny says. The guy shoved Carly towards Johnny, Johnny catching her as Junior ran in, tazing the masked assailant until he fell.
"Are you two alright?" Junior asks after cuffing the assailant.
"I think you... need to radio for an ambulance." Carly says through the pain, Johnny realizing what's starting.
"There's 2 cars outside, it'll be quicker if I take you." Junior says.
"Our son… we can't leave-" Carly says.
"Daddy? Are mommy and Michelle okay?" Jason asks, walking into the living room.
"Buddy, Michelle won't be inside your mommy soon. Look… I can take care of him, my day's almost finished anyway." Junior says.
"Jason, stay with Junior, okay?" Carly says, Jason nodding before running to Junior as Johnny helped Carly outside.
It was a few hours later that Jason woke back up, seeing Carly holding Michelle and Michelle babbling away.
"Hey, buddy. You want to see your little sister?" Carly says, Jason nodding and walking over, brushing his hand against Michelle's head.
"She's so tiny…" Jason says, Michelle babbling at him now. "No, he's called Daddy, not funny head guy." He says, sounding like Sam.
"Yes, I'm Daddy." Johnny says.
"Yep… and really, you should call her Mommy, not big milky thing." Jason says.
'That's definitely you, Sam.' Carly thought, Michelle babbling towards the corner of the room as Sam watched them but only Jason and Michelle could see her.
"The young ones usually see better." Sam says before disappearing.
Present time…
"Aunt Sam, Uncle Jack, someone broke in!" Michelle says, getting off the couch as Sam and Jack walk in, seeing Sachiko curled up in Carly's arms, Michael in Johnny's arms and Jocelyn hanging onto Jason.
"Which is why we came here. Trevor's on his way too." Jack says, hugging Michelle.
"Sachi was very upset… she said she killed someone." Michelle says as they let go.
"Someone breaks in, you have every right to defend yourself and your family." Sam says, Sachiko resting her head on Carly's chest and hearing her heart beating, reminding Sam of when she was younger.
'Old memories… coming back… before Russell died.' Sam thought.
Meanwhile, Ivory looked at Alessio, waiting for him to wake up.
"You're a crazy son of a bitch." Ivory says, Alessio opening his eyes.
"Blonde haired girl… violet eyes." Alessio says.
"Reincarnated Sachiko." Ivory says, Alessio's eyes widening. He'd seen Sachiko once before, shortly after she made Ivory shoot Carly.
3/5/13, Mount Zonah Medical Center
"Wh… who the hell are you?!" 18 year old Alessio shouted, Sachiko clamping her hand on his mouth.
"Shh! There's someone I want to show you!" Sachiko says, both disappearing and reappearing in the I.C.U, outside Carly's hospital room.
"What happened to her?!" Alessio says.
"Ivory shot her, the bullet pierced an artery in her shoulder… you want to know why? I was controlling him." Sachiko says.
"You… what… are you?!" Alessio says, Sachiko smirking before sending him back to the reception area, imprinting something in his mind that was in Japanese, Alessio unable to read it.
'幸子篠崎'
"Can you fix that please? Why would you make him shoot a kid?!" Alessio shouted, Sachiko sending him into the room as Carly's eyes opened.
"Who are you?" Carly asks sleepily. Just as Alessio was about to reply, Sachiko put something else in his mind, again in Japanese.
'私はアイボリーの魂を所有'
"I… I go to the same school… I heard you were shot, I just wanted to know if you're okay." Alessio says, Sachiko saying "Good, don't give her any reason to suspect anything." in his mind.
"For the most part, yeah. Aside from some nerve damage." Carly says.
"Good… that looked really bad." Alessio says.
"It felt worse… I was slipping away but-" Carly says as Johnny walks in, looking at Alessio suspiciously.
"Look, I'm not gonna hurt her-" Alessio says, Johnny grabbing him by his shirt. "Hey, what the hell?! I said I won't hurt her!" He says, Johnny throwing him out into the hallway and walking over to Carly.
"Okay, that's not normally like you." Carly says, Johnny sitting down and gripping her left hand.
"I know him… he's related to Smith." Johnny says.
Alessio picks himself up, walking back but Sachiko swings the door shut.
"Just watch them, kid." Sachiko says, reappearing to him.
"He grabbed me and threw me out of there!" Alessio says.
"Because he thought you were there to hurt her, she almost bled to death in his arms!" Sachiko says.
"And how would you even know… whatever you are." Alessio says.
"Am I alive? Do I even look alive? Maybe I should just stop hiding it." Sachiko says before the rips in the dress reappear, the scissors in her now blood covered hands. "I was killed at my school, she was shot in front of hers… 20 years to the day another little girl was attacked… I think Ivory told you about that, right?" She says.
"Y… yes… he did." Alessio says before Sachiko disappears, one last Japanese message in his mind.
'私を恐れて、私は楽しみのためにあなたを殺します'
