Chapter two: "To kill; The Mocking Bird"
The sound of flapping grew decidedly louder. "WHA!" Yomi cried, just barely louder than the din of wings. Tomo replied, "I think it IS a bird!" Yomi saw a claw nearing her face. "Goodbye, Tomo," Yomi said before the talon punctured her skull.
"YOMIIII!" Tomo cried. The noise ended abruptly. Tomo thought about what had happened. Everything was gone. Her friends were dead… Yomi was dead… She was being hunted by a demonic bird. She thought for a while, and laughed.
But this laugh was not her normal laugh of joy, or even her laugh of contempt. It was a laugh of pure insanity.
When the police arrived, there were no signs of feathers, talons, or birdseed. There were only Tomo, and two skeletons picked clean.
The case was closed to the realm of man. Tomo had gone insane and eaten her friends and teachers. She was put into an insane asylum, and eventually murdered by what sane folks decided was an extremist group. The inmates described the murderer as 'a giant raven'. But that's crazy. Giant ravens don't exist… Or so they want you to believe.
End chapter 2.
Note: There is still more to come from this tale. What happened to Sakaki and Osaka? What IS this bird? Who's behind it all? These questions and more might be answered next chapter!
