Anna's POV:
I woke up, for the last time at the middle of the night. I sweat dropped, and I was scared. I feared something that I did not even know.
I reached out my hands to the air, trying to reach something, but I could not.
"Yoh…" I said, didn't even flinch or sob.
Then, I realized that I was dreaming. A nightmare, I supposed. Like always.
Yes, like always. That dream always came to me every night, the very same dream in each of my sleep.
But it seemed to be odd to me, since I could never be able to remember the dream afterwards. Not a single thing.
One thing I only knew from night to night, I always called his name. The name of someone that I did not even know who, but it did stick to my mind for it was the only name I would call whenever I felt sad or scared.
What would that name be?
And until now, I never got a single answer from the question. Never.
Now, I was looking at the ceiling, found that it was quite interesting in a way. In a way to forget nightmares, yes, it was surely interesting…
"Anna, wake up!"
I opened my eyes to meet my brother's. He was my favorite person. He was tall, and handsome, and looked exactly like me.
"Oni-chan…?" I muttered softly, rubbing my eyes.
He looked worried. Maybe I looked sick or something. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.
"Are you okay? You look pale…" He asked gently, sitting on my bed.
I stared at him for awhile, trying to get an answer. Well, my head did feel kind of dizzy.
"I think so… maybe…" I said, getting up from my bed.
But I failed. I ended upfalling tomy brother's big arms. He gave me a sharp look before gently pushing me back to my bed.
"You are not okay, young lady, and I would say that you are not going to school today!" He said in low tone, mimicking my father's voice, which we never heard anymore since my brother and I turned five.
I laughed weakly from my bed.
"If dad is here, he will punish you, oni-chan…" I said, trying my best to sound cheerful.
"He won't. He never cares about us, remember? All he can think of is business, business, and business… and nothing else. For him, we are just some strangers who will continue his business…" He raised his voice a little.
"Come back, oni-chan…" I said teasingly.
He looked at me and then smiled. He always wanted to look strong in front of me. After all, he was Satou Yuuki, the very first born child in our small, broken family.
"Sorry… just can't handle me when talking about him…" He looked at the carpet, not wanting me to see his face, which I was sure was full with sadness.
"It's okay, oni-chan… No one likes to talk about him here… same here…" I pointed at myself.
He nodded in agreement.
After that, my brother went to school and I stayed at home. He kept complaining that time because our butler was sick and could not watch me when he was all deadly worrying about me.
I smiled at him before he left.
I made sure my brother was out of sight and on his way to school. I then took my phone and tried to call Pirika and Ren.
Great, they were already on their way to school.
I put back the phone and stroke my hair before I felt some urgent to close my eyes immediately.
And then I went back to sleep.
