Chapter 4, Space 2, Hallway
Blue was cooling down. Crying her eyes out because she could. Eventually it stopped and she went to apologise to Green. He wasn't by Dia's corpse so she went into the Infirmary. The doll was right where she left it but no Green at all.
She picked up the doll and left the room. She heard someone weeping. Ice Prince Green would never cry, ever. Who was crying? She looked around but the seeping continued. She took out the doll. It was making sobbing sounds but no tears left it's porcelain eyes.
That doll was creepy. It spoke suddenly, sprouting about disturbing topics before laughing and continuing.
"That boy is with Sachiko now, he's about to die!" It called. Blue gasped. Green? Who was Sachiko? Wait, Sachiko we beg of you. That Sachiko? The doll giggled.
"Where!? Where is he!?" She demanded but the doll gave no response. "Senior." Said a quiet voice on her right. She turned to see Dia's ghost, half of his face was a gory mess but other than, that he looked fine.
"That man took senior Green away." He said. "He dragged senior Green away. Down the hall." He said pointing at a trail of blood she hadn't noticed before. This was, Green's? Blue almost couldn't look at her junior without feeling guilty.
"Everyone's so angry. I wish I could make them happy." Dia said sadly. Footsteps resounded in the other side of the hall. Blue turned around. No one.
She walked away. Wandering the halls searching for anyone. Green, Red, Yellow, anyone. She heard a voice from inside a classroom. She went in.
It was Naho. All of the frustration and confusion she was feeling welled up inside her boiled into anger. "You promised it would save him! You promised! Bring him back! Bring Dia back!" She screamed sobbing.
"I never promised anything." Said Naho simply. "I believed that appeasing the spirits would have successfully saved your friend. You failed. You didn't appease them correctly. It's your fault!" Naho said.
Blue, had failed. She killed Dia. And she left Green to be killed. She murdered them both. She fell to her knees sobbing. She didn't want to be alone.
She felt sick suddenly but she didn't care. Suddenly the door opened and someone came over to her. He was shouting her name but nothing mattered. That is until she saw his face.
Usually harsh green eyes were filled with concern and worry. "Green?" She whispered/sobbed quietly. He was shaking her shoulders back and forth trying to get her attention.
"Blue! Are you alright?" He asked. She nodded weakly. She scanned his face with her eyes. His head was bleeding. "Green! Your head is bleeding." She said and pulled out a handkerchief and began to try and clean the wound.
"I'm fine." He insisted grabbing the small white cloth. "I'm sorry." She said. "Whatever." He grumbled rolling his eyes. Seriously what was with him? But she felt really relieved.
"Ah hem." They turned to Naho. "I still believe that if you appease the spirits you may be able to finally escape this place. Perhaps the doll can lead you to some answers." Naho said. "I have to find someone. My mentor"
"Who's your mentor?" Blue asked. She hadn't heard about Naho having anything of the sort.
She looked unsettled. Naho looked very angry. "My personal affairs are of no importance to you!" She spat. And with that Naho left.
"What did she mean?" Green asked himself. "Girls." He muttered. "Maybe we have to find the children's bodies to end this." He mused. Something in Blue's mind suddenly clicked. "The tongues!" She exclaimed. "The article said they were all missing their tongues."
"You might be right! If the murderer hid the tongues then maybe the doll knows where their hidden!" Green added holding up the doll.
Blue grabbed his hands. "Let's start right away!" She yelled and dragged him off. As they passed the janitor's closet the doll began crying again. Blue turned towards the closet and the crying got louder.
It said something about pacing rosters and Green grabbed her hand. He took her to the red closet door. Suddenly a noise came from beyond the door. Blue grabbed Green and backed away from the door.
"Wh-who's there?" She asked.
More sounds. It sounded like someone was flailing around and panicking. "Hello?" It was suddenly quiet.
"Blue come here." Green called. She walked over to him. He was prying at a loose floor board. "There's something down there. Grab it for me." He said.
Reluctantly Blue reached down and grabbed a stiff and loosely closed canvas bag. As she pulled it out she found it was covered in blood. She dropped it. Green peered inside. He reeled back and closed the bag almost instantly.
"It's a tongue." He said and began inspecting the name tag on the side. "Ryou. That's the boy spirit." He said.
"We should give it back!" She blurted.
He stood. "Then we have some ghost hunting to do." And they walked off to find the male spirit.
Chapter 4, Space 2, Janitor's Closet
Silver woke to the sound of footsteps. He also heard crying. A small voice said something he couldn't hear and the steps came closer. He opened his mouth to call out but suddenly and girl was kneeling on his chest. He could breath fine until she covered his mouth with her ghostly hands. He began to flail like a dying fish, unceremoniously if you will.
"Wh-who's there?" Said Blue.
He couldn't respond. The girl was now hissing words at him that made his eyelids very heavy. He was being surrounded by black smoke.
"Hello?"
He tried to flail again trying to let them know he was there but he couldn't. Too tired. All of his strength was gone. Where was he again?
"Blue, come over here."
The smoke disappeared and so did the girl. To weak to do anything he fell back into the blissful void of sleep.
But in his mind's eye he still saw those insane fish eyes staring at him and hissing the name "Kou Kibiki" over and over again.
Chapter 4, Space 2, Hallway
After wandering they came to the Infirmary. Ryou was sitting on the bed in the corner, hugging the pillow like a scared little kid.
Blue felt herself clamming up. She didn't want to get near that ghost. "You do it Greenie!" She blurted.
"Greenie?" He asked offended. Her face burned up. "Nothing! You give him the tongue! I'll give the next one." She declared pushing him forward.
"Hey. I have your tongue. Take it." He said holding out the bag. Ryou didn't respond.
"Let him see it! Put right in his line of sight. Let him know you have it." Blue called out. Green shook his head with a murmur of "Pesky woman." He got on the bed and waved the bag in front of the ghost's face. Green moved forward and suddenly went ridged.
"Green! Are you okay? What's going on." Blue asked feeling fear well up inside of her. Along with it was a huge pressure that was filling her head.
Green held out the bag and the pressure grew. The boy grabbed it and opened it pulling out the fresh looking tongue. He put the blood red body part in his mouth and Green suddenly relaxed.
"Thank you." Ryou said smiling before he disappeared. Green hopped off the bed. Suddenly the ground shook violently. It shook for a few minutes before stopping.
Blue stood up and stumbled over to Green. "That went well." Blue said. Green rolled his eyes. "Let's just get this over with." He said walking to the door.
Blue followed him with the doll in hand.
On the first floor there was now a new short hallway and door. They had not been there before at all.
Blue opened the door and reeled back. The pressure was extreme, she hadn't even been inside and her nose was bleeding. "Blue are you okay?" Green asked reaching into his pockets and removing a pack of tissues.
"I'm fine." She lied, taking a tissue and shoving it up her nose. The doll in her arms was sobbing again. "Let's go." She said and ignoring her new headache dragged Green in.
The pain was excruciating but she tried to push it away. Green looked at her with worried eyes. The room they had entered was a locker and shower room. Perhaps there was gymnasium through the other door. Green peered out the door before he closed it.
"It's raining cats and dogs out there." He said. Unable to resist Blue giggled. "I've always wanted a pit bull, are they falling from the sky?" She asked. Green scowled and rolled his eyes.
"Stay here, I don't want to find out you survive a school full of ghosts and killers to be killed by a common cold." He said walking out into the rain.
She heard giggling and turned to see a faceless ghost walk into the wall. She was scared now. She hoped Green would be back soon.
"AAAHHH! Help! I can't swim!" Shouted Green followed by gurgling.
She raced outside into the rain. Dashing up the stairs and diving after bubbles in the pool. The water was murky and grayish-green in color. She had to find Green but could barely see her hands in front of her face.
A pair of strong arms grabbed her and she panicked. Her head suddenly broke the surface of the water and she was raised out of it. But Green was drowning! She still couldn't see who had grabbed her. She flailed, trying to break the hold. Green was down there drowning! She had to save him!
She was placed face up onto the pavement and looked at the person who grabbed her. Soaking wet, with eyes full of anger and panting hard was Green Oak.
"What the hell were you thinking?! What the hell has gotten into you?!" He screamed. Blue trembled. "I heard you scream so I came to save you." She said not looking at him. He took a deep breath and tried to relax.
"Whatever I'm just glad your safe." He said standing up. His key ring had many new additions, infirmary key, classroom keys, and now an old rusty one labeled "Pump Room".
Blue stood and followed him towards a small basement door with "Pump Room" written on it in faded letters. The key slid in and the door unlocked. The rusted key snapped in the key hole though.
The room was full of pipes and knobs. The largest was labeled "Drainage", Green turned the old wheel and the sound of rushing water running thought the thousands of pipes shocked Blue a little. She jumped and banged her foot.
"Ouch!" She shouted but her voice was drowned out by the water. The water stopped running as it seemed the pool was empty. They walked out of the small room. Blue saw several bodies in the pool, nothing more than skeletons now. Green was lowering himself into the pool and examining the bodies and calling her down.
The ladder was old but very stable. The concrete floor of the pool was littered in puddles and the drainage vent was uncovered. If Green had just drained the pool. . .
She forced herself not to think about it. Green was climbing another ladder silently.
"Blue listen to this. "That bitch killed my friend. She'll never get her tongue back."" He said. ""I've left a nice gift under the spigot.""
Blue glanced over at a large old spigot by the pocket room door. Green rejoined her and they checked the rusted pipe. A large bloodstained bag fell from the spigot. It was loosely closed like Ryou's but this one had the name Tokiko on it.
"Tokiko is a girl's name." Green said. "But I can't remember which girl!" He said frustrated. "We'll figure it out." Blue reassured.
They walked to the hallways by the entrance hall. Suddenly Blue caught a glimpse of a female ghost with a missing eye.
"There!" She said and pulling Green along rounded the corner.
On the other side of the wall was the ghosts of two young girls. One missing an eye and the other a head above her jawline.
But on the headless girls jaw was the top of a boy's head. The area above the jawline.
The head had green eyes, blonde hair, and jewel smack in the middle of his forehead.
The headless girl was wearing Rald's head.
