Ok, new chapter. Im going to continue this for...well...the hell of it. Of course, to keep it going, I need reviews! They are what keeps me going! I mean, dont get me wrong, I love writing, but reviews tell me what people think of the story.

Also, thanks Kerri for reviewing. My only reviewer for the first chapter.

I moved up, coughing up water from my lungs.

Wait a second...wasnt I...dead?

I looked around me. I cant see. I rubbed my eyes carefully and fluttered them, trying to adjust my eyes to the...darkness. I was in All Gods Village.

I jumped up happily. I would get to see Mayu!

I ran down the path towards the village. Everything seemed the same. The house where we encountered Miyako seemed the same.

"I wonder...if the camera is there..." I said to myself, considering the thought of going into the house. But why would I search for the camera? I have no use for it.

I continued walking down a dirt path until I noticed something on the door of the house. It was...a butterfly. A crimson one.

"Mayu?" I said, turning to the butterfly. Although, some would consider talking to a butterfly quite stupid, even crazy when youre calling it by the name of your sister.

The butterfly flapped its wings once in response and flew into the house through a window.

"Mayu!:" I shouted, pulling the door open and rushing inside, opening the door that led inside of the house.

"Mayu! Where are you?!" I shouted, walking inside of the house and walking up to the dug in fireplace.

"Mayu?! Are you in here?!" I shouted. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, it was crimson! Mayu!

"Mayu!" I rushed up the stairs. The butterfly was resting on the doorknob. It was...locked? But how?

"I guess Ill need the key." I said to myself and walked to the stairs. A noticed a figure by the entrance to the room halfway down. It looked like the ghost of one of the villagers.

I gulped. There was no way that I could get to the key with that ghost there. Without the camera it would kill me. Without the camera...

Thats it! If the door was locked again I could get the camera. I walked back up the stairs quietly and walked down the hall. I looked at the lock on the door, it was the same as before. Except for the butterfly resting on it. I continued towards the back stairs.

I felt the ground under me break away as I neared the stairs. The floor collapsed, knocking me onto the alternate path to the hallway. The ghost noticed me, staring at me.

Why wasnt it attacking? I quickly got up and ran into the hallway. There! The room with the camera! I ran inside and shut the door behind me. I sat by the area I had found the camera. Where was it? It wasnt there.

"The camera obscura...where is it?" I said to myself, rummaging through the scattered papers on the floor trying to find. It was no use. The camera was gone.

I gulped. If the camera wasnt here....where was it? Maybe the papers could tell me something. I picked up the few papers and walked into the connected room.

Document One:

It has been three days since that girl escaped from the village. How she did I am unsure. She did not use the same method we used. There is something about her and her sister. Although, I noticed that her sister did not leave with her. I wonder why she left. Is it possible that she and her sister completed the ritual and only one of them escaped? It must have been so. If that is the case, then maybe we too will be allowed to leave the village. I can only hope.

Document Two:

Her image is still firmly printed into my mind. How she resembled her so. How her sister resembled hers. There had to be some reason as to why she looked so much like her. She has put an end to the suffering of our village. At least for now. I wish there was a way I could thank her for what she has done.

Letter One:

Dear Mio,

Thank you for doing this. You have saved the whole village and allowed me to fulfill my wish. I hope that I will be able to see you again.

I looked over the notes. Who wrote these? Could it be the villagers? Thats impossible...they all disappeared. Could it be that Mayu wrote one of these letters? How would that be possible?

Something began banging on the door. I backed up into the screen on the other side of the room. The door burst open. It was...a girl? No...a ghost. Chitose!

"Chitose?! What are you doing here?!" I asked her, but as soon as she burst through the door, she was gone. Leaving something on the ground.

Was that...the camera? I thought, walking towards the door. It was! The camera obscura! It was already loaded with type-7 film. It would do for now.

I walked out the door back into the hallway. I made my way back to the main room. But the ghost was gone. I looked around to see if there was any other ghosts that were in the area. Nothing.

I entered the room and went behind the curtain. Everything still looked like it did before. Except for the closet door now missing. I took the key from the closet and went back upstairs. The butterfly was still there, and no ghosts. I unlocked the door and went inside.

"Mayu? Mayu?" I said, looking around. I continued looking around. There she was! Where we found Miyako.

"Mayu!" I shouted, hugging her. She didnt hug back.

I took a step away from her. "Mayu?"

It wasnt Mayu. Mayus shape began to change. She was wearing a blood stained kimono now. Sae?!

"Yae...why did you leave me again?" She asked.

"Wheres Mayu?!"

"Mayu isnt here..." She replied, holding her hand out as a crimson butterfly landed on it.

"Mayu..." I said, was that butterfly her?

The butterfly quickly took off out of a window. I turned to Sae. She began laughing. Not again...bodies began appearing all over the floor. The Kusabi appeared behind Sae and began its advances. I quickly ran out of the room to the stairs. The Kusabi had appeared there before I could get to the stairs. I ran to the other side but the Kusabi was too quick.

It grabbed my arm with one hand, the other raised preparing to strike at me. I picked up the camera with my free arm and snapped a picture. The Kusabi recoiled for a second letting me get to the other side.

Oh no! I forgot that the floor was broken. I fell down to the hallway below and got up quickly. I darted towards the exit and swung the door open. I ran out of the house and darted to the fork in the road. Maybe Itsuki was still here.

There! A new chapter completed! Once again, thanks to Kerri for the review, and Im asking everybody else to review!
