:::Chapter 4:::
" Hahaha…You should have should have seen the expression on his face when Yume threw the cake on to his shirt! I wished I had a camera with me! It's so funny!" Werina said to Chihiro.
It was the end of the party. Food was strewn all over the place as Yume had started a food fight. Most of the people who went home either had their clothes dirtied or had cream on their faces. They didn't mind though, after all, it wasn't often that they get to throw food at their rivals or friends.
" Hey, where's the broom?" Yume's voice called from the kitchen.
" In the brown closet, located near the sink." Werina answered back as she walked to the kitchen.
Chihiro and Yume had stayed back to help their friend in cleaning the house. Luckily for them, Werina's parents were out of town that night or else they would have had a fit seeing all the mess. Werina walked out of the kitchen, holding on to a tablecloth. She wiped the food out the dining table while Chihiro washed the dishes.
It was 10 p.m. and the streets outside were deserted. Occasionally, a cat would walk pass, searching in the trashcans for food. The party had ended fifteen minutes ago, and already the girls had finished cleaning up half of the mess.
As Chihiro washed the dishes, her mind kept going back to the white-eyed guy. She knew she was afraid, but she was not sure what she was afraid of. Somehow, she had a linking that it had something to do with that guy.
' Why do I bother so much? It's not like he's going to kill me or something. I don't even remember making a rival and he certainly is not my rival, seeing that I have none. Well, maybe he's just a new kid in school…' However, she knew, in one way or another, that he wasn't just some new kid in school. She somehow felt that he was of greater presence. Someone… who isn't an ordinary human.
After another ten minutes had passed, the once messy and dirty living room was sparkling clean and not even a spot of cream was on the floor. Yume and Chihiro were at the front gate, waving goodbye to Werina. They were just so glad that cleaning up was finally done. Their muscles ached, having scrubbed the ground extremely hard to get the stain off of it. Someone had spilled coffee on to the ground.
Their minds were hazed over with sleepiness and their eyes were extremely drowsy. However, they forced themselves to be more alert of their surroundings once they left through the gate. They certainly didn't want any accident to happen to them.
Since Yume's house was in a different direction from Chihiro's, they left on their separate ways, promising to meet up the next day. Yume turned to face the direction where she was going to walk home, not knowing that Chihiro wasn't going to meet her the next day…
Chihiro walked past a dimly lit lamppost. She looked ahead of her and narrowed her eyes, trying to see whether her blue house was somewhere near yet. Her face lighted up when she spotted it, sitting in a corner of the street. It was covered by the shadows of trees that were standing on the pavement. The shadows made the house from a bright blue during the day, into a dark, gloomy blue when night comes.
Chihiro continued walking briskly, hoping to reach home soon. As she walked past a dark alley, she never heard the light footsteps coming from it. Neither did she notice the pair of hands, grabbing her into the alley. Chihiro was opened her mouth to scream, but a hand covered her mouth, producing muffled noises when her scream of help failed to escape her mouth.
A sharp pain on her neck made her vision blurry. Her eyes started to close as the sharp, piercing pain dulled to a throbbing. Just before her eyes were closed the last thing she saw was a pair of white eyes…Eyes that she had seen before…Eyes that she knew were devoid of pupils…
" I've finally got you, little one. Now, the fun begins..."
