Natsume's POV:

I don't think I've ever heard a scream like that. A scream so pained, so tortured, so sad... And it came from my Mikans lips.

All three of us bolted out the door as quick as lightning, maybe even faster, the thick air was slowly constricting my throat and I looked over at Neisan, he was clenching his fists tightly, gritting and whereing down his teeth, his eyes looked panicked and I could tell emotions played a big part in his Alice. he was so scared that the temperature was dropping a mile a minute, Aoi-chan was shivering while she was running, and even through her desperation to get to her best friend, she glared firely at Neisan. It didn't help.

I ignored the snowy air and quickened my pace, I rounded one corner, listening for any sign of Mikan and Persona. All of a sudden, another scream pierced the solid air, this time a word.

"Hotaru!" Mikan screamed, it was such a gut wrenching scream that I didn't want to turn the corner and see Mikan. I didn't want to see what was left of Hotaru.

We all stopped, just before the turn, we could hear it. We could smell it.

We were in the abandoned part of the Academy, where a fire had broken out once before an destroyed the dorms... We could smell it clearly, the thick moist air, slowly dropping around Neisan, hummed with the smell. The soul sickening, rotting smell of a corpse. We could hear the buzz of the multiple flies and maggots that lined the walls and the crime scene. My eye twitched and I heard Aoi gag behind me, covering her hand around her sick filled mouth.

"Aoi... Don't come round this corner." I whispered, finally digging out the courage to turn the corner. To see Hotaru. Or what was left of her.

Neisan's POV:

I sent a quick glance towards Aoi-chan before I turned back to see Natsume around the corner, stumbling away, hand over his mouth and stammering 'no' leaving his crack lips.

His once angered face looked pale and sick, like he had just seen a ghost. His eyes were wild and frantic, spinning in a crazed dramatic swirl of fear.

Natsume had tears in his eyes.

I squeezed my eyes shut gulping down my own fear. I took a deep breath, regretting it immediately when the foul smell knocked about my lungs. I quickly turned the corner, my eyes still squeezed shut. I could Mikan's quiet sobs, the harsh rack of her shoulders and pants and gasps for air she wasn't receiving because she was so preoccupied with mourning over her best friends death. I sucked in another gasp, ignoring the putrid taste lingering on my tongue and opened my eyes.

I fell to me knees almost instantly. She lie there, head twisted back, neck snapped and broken, skull caved in slightly, leaving only her short raven hair to identify her. Her limbs tossed and shattered against her broken body, her arms and shoulders dislocated and hung limply over her cracked spine, one of her fingernails were missing from the three fingers she had left. One of her leather shoes was gone, leaving a dirtied and bloodied sock for the eyes. I turned away, tears spilling down my cheeks.

This was much more than what needed to murder. She was tortured. Hotaru was tortured.

I dared another look, I looked at all the blood, her blood, her gaping stomach and the flies that spun in a frenzied hunger around her, the maggots that spilled from her ears, eyes, and nose. The life born in her death spilling from her like water. A spider crawled up the wall from her body, across a trail of blood. I tore my eyes away from her body to the wall behind her.

Blood littered it, splattered like flicked paint. But what was most disturbing were the words it was written in.

I'm coming Mikan Sakura
