Hi everyone! I'm back! Sorry that I didn't update in a while. I had too many tests and practices. Anyways, here's the new chapter! Enjoy and review after!
Haunted Dreams and Haunted Feelings
After delivering the pies, Mimiki still felt the same eerie presence that she felt earlier. She felt it three more times during the day. It was starting to scare her. It felt as someone or something was watching her. She started to wonder why this was happening to her. 'Why is this happening to me? I don't think that I did anything wrong…' she thought. Then she thought again. 'Why is it happening now that Marik and I are finally back together again? This isn't right…I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.' Then she looked at her clock. It was 11:00 p.m. Everyone else was asleep. 'I might as well go to sleep.'
Mimiki turned off her lamp and then climbed into the covers of her bed. "I'm so sleepy…" Mimiki fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Then that's when she started dreaming.
Dream Mode: Mimiki's POV
Why is it so dark? I never dream of anything dark or evil…
I kept on walking around, looking for people. Anyone would do.
"Hello! Is anyone here?" I got no response. How did I end up having this kind of dream anyway? I kept on walking around again. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable…As I kept walking, something didn't feel right. With each step I felt even more uncomfortable. I started to run because of fear. Then all of a sudden, something grabbed me. I tell it was a hand covering my mouth and another holding my waist. It was too dark to see anything so I couldn't tell who it was.
"Where do you think you're going? You're staying here." A cold evil voice said. Who was that?!? I don't recognize his voice. I tried getting out of his grasp, but he was too strong.
"No point in trying to escape from me. You can't escape." "Let go of me you freak or whatever you are!" I yelled at him. "I told you that you can't escape from me!" "Who are you?!?" I asked. Then he started to laugh. "If you only knew…if you only knew…"
End of POV and Dream Mode
Mimiki woke up in cold sweat and panting. Her heart was beating like crazy. Sanami ran up to her.
"Mimiki what's wrong?!?" she asked. Mimiki finally calmed down. "I'm ok Sanami." Then she looked at her clock. It was 9: 00 a.m. "I'm supposed to meet up with Marik in an hour! I'm going to be late!" She raced out of bed to get ready. Sanami looked at her. She knew something was wrong.
Mimiki walked to Marik's house and got there at 9: 45. She rang the doorbell and waited for Marik to come out. As she waited, she felt that eerie presence again. It did the same thing in her dream. She turned around and again, no one was there. Mimiki's heart was beating fast again like earlier.
"What are you staring at?" Marik asked standing behind her. Mimiki jumped slightly, let out a scream and turned around. Marik was surprised at this.
"Mimi! It's just me! No need to be scared." He said to her. "You're starting to act kind of strange. Are you ok?" he asked. She backed away from him. "Mimiki why are you backing away from me?" he asked coming closer to her. "I'm not going to hurt you or anything." He said grabbing her hand gently. "Now let's go inside ok?" Mimiki nodded her head and went in with him.
Mimiki and Marik were sitting on the couch in the living room. Mimiki was acting kind of strange and Marik knew it.
"Are you sure you're ok?" he asked. "I can take you home if you don't feel good." "I'm fine Marik." She said with a smile. "Don't worry about me! I'm perfectly fine!" Marik didn't buy it. "You're lying." "No I'm not." She said. "I'm fine. Nothing's wrong with me. Stop worrying so much!" "Stop lying so much." He said back. "I'm not lying Marik! What's it going to take to make you believe me?!?" "Mimiki, I've known you for four years now. I can tell that something is wrong. Now what is it?" he asked. "I don't know. It's just not completely explainable." "What do you mean?" "I can't really put into words…I don't want to talk about it right now." She said. "Ok."
The day went on as they spent it together. Mimiki kept on acting strange around Marik, but he didn't know why because she didn't tell him. It was getting late and Mimiki decided to go home.
"See ya Marik. I'm going home." She said putting her shoes on. "I'll walk you home. You still don't seem like your normal self. I want to see if you're ok." "Marik I'm fine. Don't worry yourself so much. I'll be fine." She said with a smile. "See ya." "See ya." He replied back. She kissed him gently on his lips. She could see the worry in his eyes.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry." She said. Then she walked off. Marik still wasn't satisfied. "Kacero follow her. Something's wrong with her. I don't know what's bothering her. Can you go see what's wrong with her? You can use that special collar I made in Battle City. Cut the mini camera on as soon as something happens. I'll watch from my laptop." "Ok Marik." Kacero said, putting on the collar. The striped black and grey cat walked out of the house and followed Mimiki.
Mimiki walked quietly to her house. She didn't notice that Kacero was following her. Everything was fine until it started to get a little chilly around her. Kacero quickly turned on the mini camera on in his collar. "Marik look!" he said into the mini microphone. As Marik watched from his laptop, he saw Mimiki looking like she was being grabbed by something and screamed. "MIMIKI!" Marik screamed. Marik ran out of the house as fast as he could to her. When he finally got there, he could see that she was screaming, but no one was there.
"What's going on?!?" he asked. Suddenly Mimiki stopped screaming and fainted. Marik caught her before she hit the ground.
"I knew something was wrong with you…" he said as he looked at her. "Come on Kacero. Let's take her home." "OK." Marik picked her up bridal style and took her home.
Later, they arrived at Mimiki's house. Since Marik couldn't use his hands, Kacero jumped up and rang the doorbell. The door opened, revealing Mamota and Sanami.
"What happened Mimiki?!?" they both asked.
"I don't know. She started screaming and then she fainted." Marik said.
"It looked like something was grabbing her before she started screaming. The problem is that no one was grabbing her. She just started screaming." Kacero said. Sanami had a worried face. 'If only I knew what was wrong with you, Mimiki…why didn't you tell me?' Sanami thought. "Ok. Let's take her up to her room." They took her to her room and laid her on her bed.
"We'll let her sleep for now. Come back in the morning. Maybe we can get some answers out of her." Sanami said. "Ok. I'll be here around 10." Marik said. "Ok then. Goodnight." Sanami said back. The two left and Sanami went back to Mimiki's room.
"Something doesn't feel right at all. Something bad is going to happen, but I don't know what. Only time will tell."
Who is haunting Mimiki? He might be revealed in the next chapter or two.
