Well...its not an actual chapter in reality, but it is a sub-chapter, which will give you certain parts of the story that are not filled by actual chapters. If you do not want to know what happened in between the other chapters I do not recommend reading the sub-chapters. If you do want to know than recommend you read this. Also, the sub-chapter will be in first person taking place through Mayus eyes.

I walked out of the yard with the Camera. It was my job to talk some sense into Sae. It was my job to make sure that she didnt find where Mio was hiding. It was my job to make sure we made it out safely.

I began down the road to the fork. This part was fairly simple. It was the passing the Osaka house without hurting myself that was the problem. I looked down at the fork. If I kept going forward I could find the bridge. But taking that path would take longer, so it would be a lot easier if I took the path down past the Osaka house to that bridge.

I turned and started my way down. I know that there was going to be a lot of those ghost dogs that had attacked Mio. I shuddered at the thought of those jumping, circling me, staring at me like I was something for them to munch on.

I slowly walked down the path, shifting my eyes this way and that making sure nothing was there to surprise me.

I continued walking down the path until the incline up the hill started. I stretched my legs a little and began my walk.

Thud! I felt a pressure on my back, knocking me onto the ground. It was one of those dogs again!

It had begun biting my shoulder, as if trying to tear it from my body.

"Get off!" I shouted trying to push myself forward. I managed to get up and run up the hill, turning back and aiming with the camera.

CLICK! CLICK! CLICKITY GOD DAMN CLICK!!!

I continued snapping pictures until the creature fell to the floor. Well...I guess creature isnt the right word.

"Oops...I guess I went kind of overboard. Oh well, that was Type-07 film anyways." I said, before running up the incline to the clearing. There I saw Sae, staring at the lantern.

"Hello, Sae."

"Hello Mayu." She said, sadly.

"Something wrong?"

"Yes. I know that Mio entered the village."

"What do you mean?"

"Dont try to trick me, Mayu. I know that shes in the village, I saw her at the Osaka house."

I took a step back, was she going to hurt Mio.

"Sae, I need to talk to you about Mio."

"Dont say it, Mayu. Im not letting you leave."

"But please let me explain!"

"No! I dont want to be alone in this village! I dont want to be alone!" Sae shouted angrily, rushing towards me.

I turned back and ran. Saes hand went through my back. I let out a shriek of shock and pain mixed together as I fell down the hill.

I unsteadily got up and started running as fast as I could. The limp on my leg had gotten worse from the fall.

I hope I can make it in time.

"Mayu! Get back here!" I could here Sae say as she continued her search. I quickly took a right and sped as fast as I could. Sae was behind me, I knew it.

She grabbed my shoulder and I collapsed onto the ground. I couldnt die...not again, not after Mio had come to rescue me.

Sae hovered above me. She looked down at me with a hateful gaze.

"I will not kill you, Mayu. You know that. Thats why you volunteered yourself to go. But I will kill Mio."

"Please Sae. We all want to escape, take you out of the village."

"Liar!" Sae shouted before storming away. "Its a lie! You just want to abandon me! Just like Yae did!" Sae had disappeared.

I crawled to the gate of the yard and got up. I slowly limped to the cage.

"Mio!" I cried with my last ounce of strength as I hit the ground. Everything went black.
