At some point Maria will show up, okay? I just need the right opportunity. I know I had everyone going on entry 3, didn't I?
File 1- Sonata No Kokoro (Nobody Knows Your Heart)
Entry 5- Crimson TearsA few days after Shadow released Miserie from the confines of the machine…
"Shadow!" Miserie called, from the hallway. Shadow was staring out at the Earth again, and when the door opened, Miserie cast a long shadow across the floor along with a flood of light. Annoyed, Shadow turned around.
"What?" He asked, sounding angry. He glared at Miserie, who was frowning.
"Are you mad at me?" she asked. She tugged at her overalls. She had switched from the tattered and torn dress to overalls that she had found in the Professor's lab.
Shadow sighed. Miserie, although sometimes annoying, was still the closest he could get to Maria, and he could never be mad at Maria. He smiled. "I'm not mad."
"Okay." Miserie said with a big smile. But then she frowned again. "We have…a problem."
Shadow blinked and frowned as well. "What?" he asked. "What's wrong?"
"Well…" She said, "I was looking at the energy levels on the main computer, and"
"Why were you doing that?" Shadow asked.
"I…" Miserie thought, then said, "I don't know why. But I looked, and it seems that an outside force has turned on our security cameras, and they take up more energy than the lights do! To turn them off would be murder, because then they'd know we were up here! Shadow, if we don't leave soon, there will be people after us!"
Shadow stared at Miserie. Wasn't she made to be a toy for Maria? Then why…How did she know all of this? "You're right. We should get out of here. I think there's a pod that will bring us down to earth. If we go there, no one will find us. Or if they do, they'll just…do what they did before."
"Have you been to Earth before?" Miserie asked. She blinked her big green eyes twice. "Never mind. Let's get going. If we shut off the lights, maybe they'll think the energy supply is going down."
Shadow shook his head. "I don't understand how you got all this information."
Miserie smiled. She said nothing.
Shadow walked past her into the hallway. "Where's the camera?" He asked. He looked down the hallway to his right.
Miserie pointed at a camera farther away at his left. "Some of the camera's are destroyed. That one is working."
"Let's go." Shadow said, turning back into the room to stare at Earth once more.
"Which way is the pod?" Miserie asked.
"No, to Maria's room." Shadow said softly. "There's something I need."
Miserie nodded. "Okay." She said. Maria's room was by the camera. So they would have to go to the left and circle the colony.
The two inched down the hall and stood under the camera. Maria's room was a corridor away. Miserie nodded when the camera turned towards the room they were previously in. Shadow grabbed Miserie's wrist and dashed down the hallway to the next one. They stood in the shadows of the corridors.
"There's the next camera," Miserie said. "Maria's room isn't in its view."
"Okay." Shadow said. Both of them sneaked under the camera. Miserie nodded, and they both went running towards Maria's room. The door opened without a noise. Maria's room was unlit,but Shadow knew where the lights were. Shadow started to walk in but Miserie caught his hand and pulled him back.
"No!" she cried, looking into the dark room.
"What?" shadow asked, looking at Miserie. Her eyes were wide and filled with horror as she stared into the dark room.
"It's full of…" Miserie stared and gulped. "Blood."
Shadow looked into the room. It was too dark to see anything. "How do you know? The lights are off."
"But…the blood…don't you see? It's there…it's everywhere!"
Shadow shook his head. "I think you're imagining things." He said. He started to walk in.
"NO!" Miserie cried, and she pulled him back. Shadow glared at her.
"What is WRONG with you?" He asked. She let go of his hand and started crying, covering her eyes with her hands. Shadow stared at her, then pried her hands away from her face.
Her hands were red. Her face was red. And she was crying…blood.
