Sorry I haven't been going as fast as I was earlier with the writing. I was a tad busy yesterday. Between Tennis Camp, Piano, and Puppy Training, I was a bit tired after and I didn't have the energy to carry on with the story so anyway here comes my blurb.

Welcome to Chapter 5 everyone! Let's talk a walk through the increasingly deep thoughts that my mind conceives. (Announcer's voice pops up) LET'S GET READY TO BLAAAAACCCCKKKKK MAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIILLLL!

Odd looked deeply into Ulrich's eyes. Suddenly, he felt like crying. How could he almost betray Yumi? The words she had said were for a special blackmail and he was about to let it all slip away.

Ulrich looked at Odd, he was confused. Odd took his finger away from the play button. Ulrich was now far beyond confused as he pulled his hand away from his best friend's face.

"Here Ulrich. If you want to kill Yumi from the inside out then listen. If not then put the recorder down." Odd said looking as his friend, hoping he would make the right choice. Ulrich took a side-glance toward Odd. Ulrich put the recorder down and sighed. He would never want to hurt Yumi, even it meant discovering her true feelings for him.

"Odd, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just felt so betrayed," Ulrich said. 'That's a lie,' Ulrich said. He felt worse than betrayed. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of endless misery. The sea, however was about to get stormy very quickly. Little to Ulrich's knowledge, it was going to create a nightmare for him.

Ulrich and Odd slowly made their way to their beds as sleep claimed them. As normal, Odd's snoring was mind numbing. Ulrich reached over and grabbed his earplugs from off his bedside table. As Ulrich put them in his ears he realized that the silence was calming, he listened to the peacefully serenity as it lulled him to sleep.

: Within the Darkening Depths of a Troubled Teen:.

I walked closer towards her voice. I heard it, so soft yet with a fire so fierce not a soul could break it. She was perfect, I took a step closer and stopped. There stood the girl of my dreams. (AN: Please ignore corniness no pun intended with last sentence) She was now silent as I looked at her with confusion.

I thought for so long that we had been in love, but perhaps, she was in love with the man who was now holding her within his arms.

"Ulrich, it's not what it looks like." She said. I shied away, I couldn't even bring myself to take a backward glance. I stood there for what seemed like minutes before a scream pulled me out of my trance like state. I turned as she fell. She fell further than the ground. She fell from my heart. It was as if I controlled her now meaningless existence. He watched as she seemed to slip out of my life, out of my mind, and out of my heart.

"Ulrich! Please don't!" Yumi choked upon her own words. I watched as I slowly murdered her from the inside out. She looked up at me with a lost emotion in her eyes. It was a cross between desperation and fear. She was my sacrifice for I had traded her in to know how she felt. I had compromised her for a stupid tape.

I ran to hold her in my arms. She looked at me and I couldn't bear to watch her in her final moments. I took one glance and watched as the last breath of life left her body. I yelled to the heavens, hoping I might be able to hear her voice just one last time. Instead an uncomfortable silence filled the night air. There was nothing left I could do.

.:End of the Dream or Nightmare I should say:.

Ulrich woke with a jolt. He looked around the room breathing heavily. He looked at his clock, it read 3:00 AM. He was too afraid to go back to sleep. He looked over at the recorder, he walked the two feet and picked it up. He opened the door silently and walked out of his dorm. His feet carried him to his favorite tree in the woods.

His legs traveled quickly and quietly through the night. Once he reached his favorite spot he sat down and began to lean against his tree. He looked at the tape recorder he held tightly in his hands. He switched his glance from the recorder to the clearing off in the distance. His gentle brown eyes watched the mist as it enveloped the entire scene.

He though about Yumi, he couldn't hurt her. He looked at the tape and wished he could destroy it. Suddenly, a pair of eyes spotted the young boy sitting there. The dark eyes watched as he got up and walked back to his dorm, the tape in pieces on the ground.

THE END! How did you like them apples! I told you Ulrich was perfect! He wouldn't hurt Yumi like that gosh people! Thinking Ulrich would actually listen! Shame Shame! Anyway stay tuned I'm hoping to get Chapter 7 up tomorrow.
