I do not own Ghost Hunt


Naru soon returned with some medication and a thermometer. The thermometer showed I had a temperature of 102 degrees, a definite fever. I started feeling hotter and hotter, even beginning to breath a bit heavier unconsciously. Naru quickly gave me a pill and a paper cup, which I had assumed he got from the kitchen, full of water. I downed the pill and water before Ayako shooed him out of the bathroom. She helped me get undressed, as I was starting to feel dizzy and a headache began to form. Ayako ran the bath a bit on the cool side, but I felt so hot I really didn't mind. While I was bathing she ran and got my pjs and some fresh underwear. When she got back she helped me out of the tub and into the pjs, quickly leading me to our room.

I didn't see Naru anywhere but I imagine he didn't want to be very badly scolded by Ayako for being in the way. It made me giggle a little bit, the thought of him being scared of Ayako, but the giggle quickly turned into violent coughing, causing me to drop to my knees and hold my stomach. It was still absolutely killing me from earlier, I felt sick again.

Ayako quickly grabbed me and dragged me into our room, putting me in my bed and tucks the covers over me. She had gotten another cold wet cloth at some point and put it on my forehead, the coolness helped a lot. My dead was pounding, and I couldn't but hold my eyes shut. Ayako was saying something but I couldn't hear it, I had already passed out.


The next time I woke up it was almost pitch black. I had an aching headache and I was pretty much in a pool of sweat, but at least I didn't feel hot anymore, and my stomach didn't hurt. As much. It still had a dull ache, but it was tolerable and the nausea was gone, thank god the nausea was gone. I suddenly heard somebody breathing, causing me to jump nearly out of my skin. It took me a minute to realize it was just Ayako, sleeping peacefully.

Right, it was probably in the early hours of the morning, it was pitch black after all. I groaned and rubbed my head, the headache was getting a bit worse. I decided to try to search around in the dark for those pills I had gotten earlier, they would help, right? I managed to find them, and with some effort, struggle to open the bottle. I was about to take a pill when I froze.

A loud thump sounded out in the hallway, it sounded like somebody had dropped something heavy. Ayako twitched a bit but didn't wake up, surely she should have more of a reaction than that? It was so loud it sounded like it was just outside of our room, possibly even inside the room itself! But nope, no reaction other than a moan and slight adjustment. Great.

Of course it was stupid to go out there, especially after what I'd been through already. Completely stupid, one would think. However, before I knew it, I was standing and going towards the door of the room. What the hell? It felt like I wasn't in control of my own body, like I was simply a puppet on strings. I felt myself open the door, and walk out. I walked out into the hallway, and froze. Giggling, children giggling.

I felt a shiver go up my spine, as the giggling suddenly stops. I feel myself turn around as lights begin lighting up the hallway in blood red. This was a dream, it was a dream. Calm down, relax. I began walking towards the light, my legs shaking. Where did those kids go? Just as I finished that thought, I heard more giggling. I followed it, as creepy as it was, I knew they were trying to lead me somewhere.

Further away now, I continued following them. I recognized the hallways for the most part, but after a little while I stopped recognizing it. The lights grew weak, leaving me in near darkness. For some reason… this didn't feel like a dream. This felt so real… But then what was up with the red lights? Surely that wasn't real, but still, I had my doubts.

I continued to follow, and soon the creepy giggling began to fade. I quickened my pace, hurrying into the darkness. Suddenly I heard shuffling, and the sound of something being dragged, and I froze. Something heavy, like a body…?

That's when I noticed a metallic smell, like blood. So much blood, it was suffocating. I covered my mouth and nose with a hand, and continued to watch. There was a faint red glow, so I could see the silhouette of a large man, dragging what definitely looked like a body. A decrepit trap door hung down loosely, and a ladder came down from it at an angle.

The man paused for a moment before swinging the body up into, what I assumed was, the attic. It seemed so small at a distance, like a child. I felt compelled to move forward, but I couldn't. I could only just stand and watch as the man swung another, equally as small, body bag up into the attic. I felt sick, the smell of blood was so overpowering. Suddenly, the man turned to me, and let out a loud growl like noise.

I gasped, my breath catching in my throat. I wanted to turn and run, get back to the safety of my room, but I couldn't All I could was stand there. The man came closer and closer, my eyes widened as I saw what he held in his hand, a very bloody axe. The closer he got the more the blood smell made me nauseous.

Run, for fucks sakes!

I couldn't. I felt something holding onto my legs, holding me in place. I looked down to see two children, they looked almost identical, but I didn't feel any malice from them. I felt terror, unbridled terror. They're eyes were wide and they're cheeks were wet from tears. They kept calling 'mommy, mommy!'.

I wanted to tell them it was ok, but it wasn't. I sensed the man was almost right in front of me, and I looked to see he was. I opened my mouth to screech, but I couldn't. He lifted the axe in the air as my eyes widened and the tears started to fall. I felt like I knew him from somewhere, I knew I did, but where? I couldn't see his face, but I knew it held an angry and painful face. The axe came swinging down, I felt the children flee as I covered my eyes, causing me to fall onto my knees, my legs spread out slightly as I lost control of them.

My eyes were covered so I hadn't noticed when the darkness had vanished and had been replaced by a calming white light, and I hadn't heard my name being called as I began sobbing.
