I found myself being restrained. I once again saw Yuno's corpse, lying on the ground before me. I could see the blur of a figure, weeping over her. 'It is the same dream..'

I could feel myself shouting, but the words were incomprehensible. This is where my dream would end, but instead, it kept progressing.

The blurred figured grabbed onto the blade laying next to Yuno. Then, without hesitation, he punctured his chest. Gasps were heard all around. With his last bit of strength, he grabbed a hold of Yuno's hand. Then, he collapsed, his body becoming lifeless.

I felt tears streaming down my face, but I couldn't think of why. There was a pink light, then I was being dragged into a void.

I found myself in a place of destruction. The only clothing on me was a black, tattered robe. Before it continued on though, I was violently shook awake.

"Rai! Wake up! Kurusu is here!" Yuno was shouting, shaking me. I swatted her hands away, "I'm up! Jesus, you trying to shake my brain out of my head." She smirked, "That'd only work if you had a brain." I glared at her.

"Come on! We have to go pick up Yuki!" Oh that's right. We have to investigate that cult. "I wonder if they perform satanic rituals," I thought out loud, "Maybe I could use you and Yukiteru as a sacrifice to get out of this dump."

That's when the atmosphere grew tense. I looked towards Yuno, her face was completely darkened. I chuckled nervously.

"I was just kidding, sis, really.." I tried to calm her. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a knife. "Oh no.."

..

..

We got outside to where Kurusu was waiting. "What took you so.." He trailed off once he saw my condition.

I had multiple cuts and bruises over my arms and face. I had a couple stitches going across my face. And to top it all off, I had a black eye, which I attempted to hide using an eyepatch from an old pirate costume. 'And Yuno made fun of me for being Captain Hook.'

"Ummm… Are you ready to go..?" He asked nervously. Yuno nodded her head in glee, but I just gave a small nod. The car ride to Yukiteru's house was silent. The only sounds being heard were my groans of pain. In about ten minutes, we arrived at our destination.

Kurusu got out of the car while Yuno and I waited. Kurusu gave a firm knock on the door. No answer. He gave a few more series of knocking. Once again, no answer.

After a few more attempts, Kurusu resorted to calling Yukiteru's cell. A few rings later and Yukiteru was rushing to the entrance. Once he made it, Kurusu asked, "You ready, Yukiteru?" Yukiteru nodded his head. "Sir, there's something I have to tell you about Yuno and Rai's house. They-"

"Yuki. Let's not talk about that, okay?" Yuno was now outside of the car. I was in too much agony to step out. In reluctance, Yukiteru entered the car. He took sat down in the passenger's seat, much to Yuno's disappoint.

The atmosphere was even more tense then the drive to his house. Yukiteru would just glance back every now and then, catching Yuno and me looking at him. In a state of panic, he would turn back around.

In, what I believe, was a long time, we made it to the sacred grounds. We were greeted at the entrance by one of the staff. Kurusu began to request a conference with the high priestess. While he was doing this, Yukiteru was flinging rocks into a nearby pond, Yuno intently staring from behind. I just stood by the entrance, waiting for the approval to enter in.

In the midst of waiting, my head began to disrupt immense pain. My mind had thoughts of fire and blood, corpses lying everywhere and Yuno crying. My phone started to static. Through my pain, I grabbed it to read the messages.

Yuno persuades Yukiteru to leave

Yuno is glaring at Tsubaki with murder in her eyes

'Tsubaki..' I thought to myself. But through my constant head trauma, my mind wouldn't let me process more then her name. Eventually, the staff member from before gave us approval to enter. Yuno and Yukiteru walked with him, but I lagged behind.

I just had a bad feeling about this place. 'Or it's my many, many injuries from this morning.. Damn Yuno, can't take a joke..' I caught up to them.

Soon, we found ourselves in an empty room. The only possessions in the room being a few people and a giant cage. Flashbacks appeared in my head..

"Please.. let me out of here.." Yuno was crying, grabbing onto the bars of a cage. The woman in front of her was growling, continuously beating on her, "You rotten.. piece of.. shit.." With every word, the blows would become harsher.

Yuno's screams was deafening to hear. I was standing in the entryway, struggling to not interfere. Even if I were to do something, it will not change, they never change. Yuno's pleads died down.

The woman stopped, walking out of the room. Once she exited it, she locked the door. She cursed under her breath as I glared at her. Once she walked away, I unlocked the door and snuck inside the room.

Yuno was in the corner of the cage, crying into her knees. I went over and softly rubbed her back. She jumped at feeling the contact, but relaxed once she understood it was just me. I whispered to her, calming her down. I reached into my pocket and brought out some food.

She ravenously grabbed it and ate it in a millisecond. Once she finished, she gently fell down into my arms. I softly set her down on her back, pulling out my phone. I typed into my diary I kept.

'Mom and dad put Yuno back inside the cage. They refused to feed her once more. This was my fault. I kept her out over our curfew. I sometimes wish we were never adopted. All it has done to her was bring her nothing but pain and torture. Her health has become poor, her injuries have just been becoming worse. At least she has me though. I will never let anything happen to her. Soon, it'll be over. Soon, our wishes will finally be granted.'

I put my phone away. I looked over at her once more before I soon fell asleep right next to her.

I didn't realize I had zoned out until I felt my sleeve being tugged at. I looked over at Kurusu. He was now standing up, beckoning me over the entryway. Once we were out of view, he whispered to me, "There's something up with her.."

Confused, I asked, "What do you mean..?" He shook his head. "During her talk, she had some glint in her eyes. Some hint of hatred directed towards Yuno." He uttered. "I have requested back up to keep an eye out. Prioritize Yuno and Yukiteru's safety, okay? I'll see if we can form a temporary alliance with her for now."

I nodded my head in agreement. Although, I zoned out the entire time, so I can't really tell what exactly is going on. 'I'll just act as if I know what he is talking about.'

Once our conversation had ended, I re-entered the shrine. Yukiteru was talking with Tsubaki as Yuno was in the background, glaring at Tsubaki.

I walked over to her, patting her shoulder. "You good, Yuno?" I asked. She was gripping onto her phone, her shoulders become more tense. "Sis, calm down," I attempted to reassure her, "I don't want anymore injuries, I look as bad as you do on picture day." Before she had the chance to punch me though, flames erupted from inside of the cage.

The followers of Tsubaki were also starting to murder each other, falling dead onto the ground. I stole a glance at their eyes, no pupils. 'They are being hypnotized.'

I heard Yukiteru scream. Yuno's face was full of shock. I saw Yuno run to Yukiteru, grabbing his arm. He bat her arm away, causing a tear to roll down her face. Yukiteru ran to the cage, axe in hand and busted his way inside.

In spite, Yuno bent down and picked up an axe. She made her way towards the cage, and in the time this happened, the sprinklers were set off. 'Perfect timing, but I believe I could of got them faster.'

As the water poured onto my face, the three of them exited the cage. At this point though, all of our phones static went off. I pulled out mine.

Yuno's attacker slits my throat

DEAD END

In instinct, I got my switchblade out. I maneuvered it in my hand, glancing all around me. The corpses surrounding us were not bleeding. That's when it hit me. In synchronize, Yuno and I brought our weapons down on the corpses.

We continuously did this, shocking Yukiteru at our actions. "Yuki, you have to kill the 'corpses'." Yuno replied to him in glee. "They are hypnotized to play dead." I explained to him.

All at once, the bodies rose and started to retaliate. I made a pathway to the entrance. Yuno was giving Yukiteru a decision to make. "Come on Yuki, choose me and live, or choose sixth and die."

I made eye contact with Yukiteru. I saluted him for having to face the wrath of my sister. 'I hope we can live through this.'
