Chapter 4
The figure, still half-shrouded in shadow, definitely resembled Haruka. She had the same figure, same face..but was it really the same face? No, this thing's face was twisted and contorted, it looked less like Haruka, even a human, with each passing second.
"Michi...Did you really believe that I had died? I thought that you would follow me Michi..I thought you loved me..," the grotesque figure hissed. "Why didn't you follow me into death? Were you afraid? Then it's true, you never did love me at all, did you?"
Michiru listened, becoming alarmed at what this..thing..had to say. She most definitely loved Haruka, almost more than life itself. What was this replica trying to do? Michiru's thoughts scrambled into one horrid, unspeakable thought: She really didn't love Haruka then?
She tried to speak, but no sound emerged from her moving lips. Full of anguish, frustration, and near insanity, Michiru shrieked. Still, no sound could be heard but the fake Haruka's devilish words.
"Michi! I thought that you loved me! Why didn't you follow me? Why?"
"ENOUGH!" Michiru screamed with all of what she had left in her, all of her courage, fear, happiness, and ultimately her soul. "No, I will not succumb to your lies! Who are you?"
