Chapter 11: Fateful Encounter
Dreams come to ends, but what do nightmares do when they end?
Shido POV.
We took Lucy to my house. After she said that she met me in a dream, I knew she was the one from my dream. I opened the door and let them in. it was starting to get dark outside. I knew sis would come tonight for me or Sachi. We led Lucy into the living room. "So where is Yuno?" Lucy asked. I got a sad look on my face. "She is no longer here. She had died, then somehow came back. We believe it was the work of shiki." I told her. "Shiki! Shiki got to her in this world?! This is not good." She said shocked. I went over and gave her a hug. She continued to say something. "Maybe that's why her monitor flat lined for a minute. That also may be why I was told that I need to save her." She said as tears ran down her cheek. "Sorry, I think that she was even the first victim. Then not to long ago, she killed mommy." I said, trying to tell her that she was to late to save her friend. "I put her body in the shack outside. In case she rises, I bound her in chains. I was going to check on her, do you both want to come?" Sachi asked us. Lucy nodded and we went out to the shack.
Sachi pushed on the door, it was unlocked. Sachi looked at us. "It shouldn't be unlocked." she said. We heard screams coming from the bottom of the staircase. We all ran down the stairs. We saw my mommy in the back of the room, chained to the wall. She looked frightened. We looked all over the room and no one else was there. "S-shido, what is g-going on?" Mommy asked, her voice very shaky. I walked over to her. Her eyes were no longer gold, they were replaced with Pure blackness and red. I began to cry, I hoped mommy wouldn't come back. "Don't worry Shido. We have proof that shiki exist and now we can get the villagers to believe us." Sachi said as she came up from behind and hugged me. Lucy came up behind us. I heard something behind us. I got free from Sachi's hug and quickly turned around. I froze in fear. Sis was standing in the door way. Lucy was off to the side and she looked terrified. Sachi slowly turned around. "Oh, no!" Sachi said as she pushed me to the left. Sis jumped at her and got behind her. She began to drag Sachi outside. Sachi kept yelling for help. Me and Lucy ran up the stairs after her. I was horrified at what I saw. Sis was standing there while four other shiki were biting and draining Sachi's blood. They let her fall to the ground and ran toward the woods. Sis went down into the shack and came up with mommy. She looked at me and grinned. She then looked at Lucy and the grin left her face. I thought I saw a tear in her eye. She broke her stare and ran into the woods with mommy. I ran over to Sachi. I picked her up in my arms and began to cry. "Don't worry Shido. I was glad that I knew you. Please don't let me turn. Stab me in my heart or cut my head off, I don't care. I just don't want to become one." Sachi said, her life draining away. "Ok, I won't let you become like them." I said as I hugged her. Her hand came up and patted my head. Her hand then fell to the ground and she was gone. I sat there and cried with her in my arms.
Lucy came up behind me. "I'm sorry Shido. I'll take care of her." she said as she leaned down. "Ok, just be gentle when you do what your going to do." I told her. I got up and watched as Lucy pulled Sachi's body into the shack. She comes out and says, "I'll take care of her tomorrow. I'll put seals on the door and lock it up tightly." We walked into the house together and went to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. I checked on the shack every few minutes. I finally fell asleep an hour before dawn. It was Saturday so I could get enough hours of sleep.
Yuno POV.
I didn't believe what I saw. I didn't believe that Lucy was here. Its impossible that she could be here. I continued toward the house. My mother had passed out in my arms. I entered the house and was greeted by Jewl. "Welcome back Yuno." She was always so joyful around me. She has become a sister to me. I went to Himoto and asked where I should put my mother. "Let her have your room for the night, then we will find a room for her." I went up to my room and put her in my bed. I looked at the digital clock and saw that it was almost time for the sun to rise. I was going to have to go back to get Shido's friends body. I made sure the window had no crack and left the room. I checked in with Himoto and left the house and made my way to do my mission.
Shido POV.
I a woke to the smell of eggs. I got into clean cloths and went downstairs. Lucy had eggs ready on the table. I ate them up, they were the most delicious eggs I ever had. I looked at Lucy again and the look she had on her face made me think something is bothering her. "Is there something wrong?" I asked. She looked at me then out the window at the shack. Then she focused on dishes. I got up and put my plate in the sink and went to the shack. The door was unlocked so I opened it and went inside. I went down the stairs and in the corner of the room, I saw Sachi. She looked like she was moving. I walked over to her and she turned. I jumped when she moved. Her eyes were her normal dark green. "Sachi? Is it really you? Are you truly yourself?" I asked her. "She stood up and walked over to me. I backed away a little. "Yes Shido. Its truly me." she said as she gave me a hug. I was a little confused. I walked up the stairs and she followed. I then walked into the light. I looked back and she walked out into the light. Any shiki would have burned up by now. "It seems I am a Jinrou. A very rare species of shiki. This must be what your sister is too, Shido." she said as she walked into the house. I followed behind and closed the door.
