Flashback from chapter 9:
Normal POV:
They have already finished eating. As mai said, to her family that she won't be in time for dinner.
The Engel family was in the library, reading books. While, the Davis Family, joined them. Bou-san and the others were still investigating together with lin. Madoka joined the Davis' and the Engel's in the library.
They heard a knock, and emme replied with a 'come in'. it was rei-san.
"we are back, master, young master, my lady." He said while bowing.
"I see, how is she? Rei" asked Richard.
"all throughout the afternoon. She greeted him a happy b-day. She also sang him his favorite songs while crying. She is now in her room. She told me to tell you that she didn't want to eat because she didn't have an appetite."
Richard just nodded and said a thank you.
"thank you for accompanying her rei" jake said
"yes, thank you. You can go and rest now." stated emme
After rei closed the door the room was silent. Gene put a comforting hand on Noll's shoulder. Noll on the other hand said that he was fine. But gene, madoka, his parents saw the sadness in his face. Of course the Engel family saw it as well. They already agreed if their little Katie will fall in love with Oliver Davis, then they were fine with it. They knew that oliver loved her with all his heart but he kept suppressing it, because he doesn't want to push her. They just smiled sadly at him. The Davis's and madoka didn't see it since they were worried for noll.
Chapter 10: the sad song and the attack
Normal POV
Naru woke up early along with everyone else. They were headed to the dining room. They stopped, when they heard a sod song. It was in the living room. They headed there and saw mai singing.
Regret from d-grey man by mai hoshimura
The scenery outside the window changes Before I'm unable to see your figure I can never say that it's fine as long as you're happy The initial ring I received on my birthday As if to even destroy the times spent together I'm wishing that a day when you'll greatly regret will come I can never say that it's fine as long as you're happy
Even the season leaves me behind
Being closer than anyone, why didn't I realize
That seed of worries at that time?
I couldn't say just that, just that one phrase of "don't go"
I can't help but to hate this twisted heart
Remembering only makes me painful but
What I finally realized is that I relied
On you more than I thought
The words that came out contrary to my heart was a good-bye in vain
I hate this mean and ugly heart more than yesterday
I can't help but to hate this twisted heart
I'm wishing that a day when you'll greatly regret will come
I hate this mean and ugly heart more than yesterday
When she finished singing she saw us looking at her and she smiled.
"good morning father, emme, jake and minna" she said
"good morning Katie/Kathryn/Mai" they greeted her in return.
"Katie, let us go and have breakfast." Emme said to her softly.
"alright, emme" she said and walked to us.
Naru's POV
She walked passed by us. She went to the dining room while we followed.
I looked at the others, they were sad that this happened to their mai who have helped them like there was no problem and has no care in the world except for the people she loved and cared.
We ate peacefully and started to work. While the Engel family decided to take a swim in their swimming pool in the backyard.
My parents helped us to move everything quicker so that this estate was ghost free.
The phenomenal things are the same. Someone wrote that 'I won't let you have her' have been seen again by a butler.
But when he turned back, it was gone. Things have been flying in the kitchen area as well. but luckily no one got injured.
…….8 hrs has already passed by….
We were getting closer to solve this case. We were in the library along with the Engel family. I looked around, I didn't find her anywhere. Where was she?
"umm, uncle?" asked gene
"yes?" said Richard
"where is mai?" he asked. We were wondering the same things. No surprise in that we are twins after all.
"oh she was tired and went to her room" replied by jake
"oh, I see." Replied gene
Suddenly we heard something broke and a scream. It was mai. I am sure of it. We hurriedly went to her room. When we opened her door she was being strangled by a ghost. She had scratches in her hands and legs. There was a broken vase laying on the floor.
We were horrified. I told lin and the others to help her. We failed but there was a bright light that had helped her. But we couldn't see, if it was a ghost or someone's ability. Finally the light died down. Mai was floating towards her bed.
"matsuzaki-san help her" she quickly nodded and tend to the injuries of mai. Her family were beside her. She was unconscious. But no major injuries. I'm glad.
I assigned matsuzaki-san and hara-san to stay with her. While went to the base room. This ghost was going to pay. I won't forgive it for hurting her.
I looked at the others. They have the same facial expressions than me. Maybe they were thinking to let the ghost have a long suffering exorcism.
