Here is the second chapter. Remember, R&R. Enjoy!
After seeing the hideous red-eyed demon staring at her, Kiku jumped out from her bed and screamed at the top of her lungs. When the demon reached over to try and grab Kiku with his deformed hand, Kiku quickly backed away from its reach.
She ran around the room constantly trying to keep a distance between her and the demon. She dashed over to the right side of her room and tried to hide under a table, but the demon immediately spotted her and knocked the table over. Kiku then made a break for the door, unfortunately it was some how locked.
Kiku then saw the demon slowly approaching her with his arm extended. Without hesitation, the demon grabbed Kiku around the neck and began viscously choking her. Kiku began screaming for dear life.
"No! Please!" she shouted.
Suddenly, Kiku could hear sound of the demon's voice shouting out her as she started to black out.
"Kiku! Kiku!" it screamed.
"No! Let me go!"
Then a familiar voice called out to Kiku.
"Kiku! Kiku! Wake up!"
Kiku opened her eyes and saw Ayame holding her in her arms like a child. Ayame smiled back at her and laid her back in her bed. Kiku appeared terrified with sweat dripping down from her neck and her hands shaking continuously.
"Where's the monster?" she said in a soft whisper.
Ayame sat down on the side of her bed.
"There is no monster. You were just having a nightmare," said Ayame.
A minute later, Rikimaru walked into Kiku's room with his sword drawn.
"Is everything ok in here?" he asked.
"Everything's fine," said Ayame. "Kiku was just having a bad dream, that's all."
"It didn't feel like a dream!" yelled Kiku.
Ayame and Rikimaru quickly turn their heads to Kiku.
"It felt very real! I could feel the monsters breath breathing down my neck. I could feel his burnt flesh touching my face."
"Sure you could," Ayame said sarcastically.
"I'm not making this up, Ayame!" Kiku screamed.
Rikimaru then came up with an idea.
"Ok, how about this. Ayame you stay with Kiku in her room tonight, that way Kiku shouldn't have any nightmares."
"I think that's a great idea," said Kiku. "Don't you think so, Ayame?"
Ayame nodded her head.
"Ok, I'll stay here and watch over you."
Rikimaru walks out of the room leaving Kiku and Ayame alone.
Ayame slowly places the covers over Kiku's body and sits down at the foot of the bed. An hour later, Ayame looks over at Kiku and notices she hasn't even fallen asleep yet.
"What's wrong? How come you're not sleeping?" said Ayame.
"I can't sleep! I'm too afraid something will happen," said Kiku.
"You have nothing to fear as long as I'm here," said Ayame.
Kiku smiled.
"Um, could you get me some water?" I'm kind of thirsty."
"Sure," said Ayame.
Ayame leaves the room to go fetch some water for Kiku. While outside getting water from the well, Ayame hears Kiku scream again. Ayame quickly dashes back up to Kiku's room. The moment she opened the door, she saw Kiku's bed empty.
That's it for the second chapter, be sure to review!
