The Mystery: Chapter Five

Tracy: It's a note.

Boldo: What does it say?

Tracy: I think that the note say something about Akira, but if that was Izam's handwriting then I have NO clue that he can write this sloppy, because I can't read it.

Boldo: Let me see.

Tracy (Gives note to Boldo.): So, can you read it?

Boldo: Nope, but are you sure the note says something about Akira?

Tracy: I think so.

Boldo: Are you REALLY sure.

Tracy: Yes.

Boldo: I think we better show this to somebody.

Tracy: I agree...

So, Boldo and Tracy walked to the door, but when Tracy tried to open the door...

Tracy: Uh-oh.

Boldo: Now, what?

Tracy: The door is locked.

Boldo: But how?

Tracy: I have no clue...

Boldo: Well, we just had to yell for help, then.

So, Boldo and Tracy started yelling for help. At the same time, Rage and Emi was at the attic, looking for clues or the shadow. However, they will regret that they search in the attic...

Emi: Rage, we haven't found anything for the last two hours.

Rage: We had to search harder.

Emi: I don't get it, why did all this have to happen!

Rage: It could be that day, but I think that there's another reason for this...

There was a short pause between the two. Then Emi walked closer to Rage, and gave him a hug.

Emi: Rage, please protect me when that shadow comes.

Rage: I will, Emi, I will...

Rage tilted his head closer to Emi. Then their lips were together, but when that has occurred, a bright light filled the room. The next thing that Rage have saw is a young girl with long red hair that stops in the middle of her back. She is wearing a white dress, the color of the room right now, and she had a necklace with a small red crystal in the middle. Rage looked around with fear, because he had noticed that Emi is missing. Then he looked down at the girl.

Rage: Where's Emi?

Girl: Reiji, Emi Toshiba, will be next.

Rage: What do you mean by that?

However, when he asked her that question, she repeated herself over and over. Rage covered his ears to block her ghostly voice, but that didn't work. Then Rage looked at the girl again.

Rage: Please, stop! Just tell me how can I save her.

Girl: She can't escape her fate.

Rage: But why Emi! Why could it be me!

Girl: The shadow has decided already, but there is a way.

Rage: Name it.

Girl: Find Lady, then get her to go to the forbidden room...

Rage: Why Lady?

Girl: I don't know, ask her for your self.

Rage: What, why are you telling me this?

Girl: I'm trying to help you, your friends, and my own...

Rage: Who is your friend?

Girl: I can't tell you that, but you better watch what you do. He's watching every step you and your friends takes. Each of their fates is on your hands, Reiji.

With that remark, the girl has vanished and Rage was teleported back to the attic. There, he saw Emi, still wrapped in his arms, but they were not kissing anymore.

Emi: Rage, are you OK?

Rage: Yes, I just had a dream.

Emi: Well, we better start looking again.

Rage: Emi, I have something to tell you.

Emi: What?

Rage: You're next.

Emi: What?

Rage: The shadow is going to get you next Emi.

Emi: That dream must have warned you too...

Rage: You have a dream also.

Emi: In matter of fact, I have two dreams. One of them is the same dream that you had and the other tells me that who responsible for this.

Rage: Why didn't you tell me earlier about this?

Emi paused right there. Rage was eager to find out her second dream and to find out why she didn't tell him about this, but then, he had noticed that she wasn't breathing anymore and her skin was hard as stone. There was only one thing that could've happen to her-she been officially the third victim.
Rage: No...

Girl: It is too late for her, Reiji.

Rage turned around. There, he have saw the same girl that was in his dream. She was standing in front him with a small black book that was wrapped around in her left arm.
Girl: Hurry up and find Lady before she joins Emi.

Rage ran out of the attic and he rushed back downstairs with the flashlight, but as he ran, Charmy and Astro stepped out of the secondary office. There, they have saw him rushing back downstairs. Astro called Rage and Rage stopped right there in the middle of the stairs. He asked Rage about Emi. Rage gave them a frown. Charmy didn't get the message, but Astro did. He can already tell that something bad happened to Emi.

Astro: We need to find a way to capture this shadow.

Rage: Well, I've seen a young girl in the attic. I bet she knows something about this.

Astro: I don't know about you, but I think Akira is the shadow.

Charmy: Speaking of Akira, have you seen Jannet?

Rage: Jannet is not here.

Astro: She was here, Rage, but the last time I've seen her is in the conference room.

Rage put his hand in front of his face. He have realized that he have forgotten about Jannet. Rage put his hand down and let out a small breath.

Rage: Charmy, Astro, you can search in the conference room for Jannet, I'll be in the Library.

Astro: For what?

Rage: I can't explain now, just go.

Rage continued on with the running. While he was running, however, he has bump into an old rival that he have known ever since he had first met him. When he had shine the light into him, he was shocked and mad.

Rage: You, what are you doing here!

However, the rival only replied back with a dirty glare. The rival grabbed Rage's shirt and threw him down into the floor. The left hand of Rage's rival was choking him. Rage tried to escape the choking, but he has no chance. The only hope for Rage's survival is that somebody walks by or hears him...
