Hey people. Its me. I just wanted to tell you I'm not very pleased with the lack of reviews. Its so simple! Just say three words! I want to hear from you! please consider this the next time you are about to leave without reviewing. I do not own Tokyo mew mew.
Melodyis relaxing in the post office. By the light of the lamp, she is reading another clipping Artemis gave her before she had to leave. Melody's head nods once. 'better finish the article before I rest,' She thinks.
Melody had asked Artemis how she had willed the beast away. Artemis responded with, "You have strange abilities. Maybe that is why this town has summoned you." She seemed to be pondering something she was unwilling to discuss. Melody couldn't help but sense that Artemis was trying to figure something out. Melody was always good at sensing things like this. Like the time her Mother was about to ask Melody if she wanted to go to the post office where Lettuce worked with her. before Lettuce had opened her mouth, Melody had spoken up. "No, thank you, Mommy. You go ahead," Melody had said. Lettuce had been surprised. Her daughter never was completely normal, but Melody isn't psychic. Or is she?
Lettuce is moving towards the classroom Henry directed her to. She wasn't quite sure what to expect. A normal classroom, or a room inhabited by disfigured demons? Lettucedoesn't know.Beside her, Pai remains silent. He hasn't talked much after the incident on the stairs. Lettuce is worried about him. He seems wrapped in his thoughts. That isn't uncommon for Pai, but he seems... distant. As though he is in another entirely different place. And that is what worries Lettuce.
Pai Is staring at the ground. He doesn't see a thing. But he keeps remembering the ghost. you know me. What had she meant? Did she really expected him to recognize her? Maybe she is the girl who had warned him not to go into the library. Who knew? Pai certainly didn't. He is aware of stopping before a door with the letters 001 on it. 'Must be the first grade classroom,' Pai thinks. Lettuce hesitantly opens the door a crack. "Hello?" she calls into the dimly lit room. No answer. So it must be safe. Still, she grabs Pai's hand for reassurance. Pai squeezes her hand gently, and they both push open the door.
The classroom they find is not what Lettuce expected. She doesn't know why, but this room just feels unnatural. Like something is there that shouldn't be. A dusty attendance record lies in the middle of the floor. A few random papers are scattered about the floor, but not many. suddenly Lettuce knows what is wrong. It's too clean. Dust hasn't even settles on the furniture that couldn't have been used for thirty years. Lettuce can almost hear someone telling her to leave. Still, she sees something that catches her interest. If they can't find Melody in here, then maybe they should take the yearbook, in case she was here and wrote a message. Lettuce grabs the book and begins to leave, when suddenly she hears something moving. She is compelled to turn around. She wishes she hadn't.
In front of her is what appears to have once been a schoolgirl. She is hanging from the ceiling by some twine. She looks so... lifeless. But there is one thing about her that isn't. Her eyes are open, and they are moving. They scan Lettuce's face, then move on to a speechless Pai. She opens her mouth, and a sound between a pigs grunt and a human squeal is heard. Lettuce is terrified. Pai turns and grabs the doorknob. But the girl seems tonot wish them to leave. The sounds become frantic. She is trying and failing to move her arm.
Suddenly Lettuce can see why. In her hand is a piece of paper. Suddenly something clicks. The girl doesn't want to kill them; she is trying to give them something. Lettuce moves forwards slowly. "Hey," She whispers. "Is that for me?" The girl nods as best she can, and tries even harder to lift her arm. Failure. Slowly, hesitantly, Lettuce moves her hand towards the girls own. When her palm is directly beneath the girl's clenched fist, the girl begins to shakily remove her fingers. As she suceeds, the paper falls into Lettuce's hand. "thank you," whispers Lettuce.
Suddenly she becomes aware of another prescence in the corner. The girl hanging from the ceiling desperatly begins to gesture that Lettuce and Pai should leave. They comply. As the door closes, an angry, brutal scream echoes down the hall. Then, silence. Still, Lettuce and Pai run.
they make it to the top of the stairwell and stop to catch their breaths. "What did she give you?" asks Pai. Lettuce opens her hand and takes out the note. It has merely 2 word on it.
ROOM 7.
Pai looks at the note. "Does she mean in the school?" he asks. Lettuce shakes her head. "we were already there. But this must be important or she wouldn't have tried to give it to me," says Lettuce, deep in thought. "Lets see if we can find the girls picture in the yearbook," says Pai. "It shouldn't be hard. How many earth first graders have grey hair?" He begins to rifle through the pages randomly. Suddenly he stops. "Pai?" Asks Lettuce, seeing the expression on her comrades face. "Pai?" "Melody," he says. And points to an uncolored photograph of none other than Melody herself. Only the name under the picture says, Azanthra.
"Its not forged," Pai says quietly. "I was taught how to check, and Its not forged." Melody looks at the picture. Could Artemis have been right?
Is Melody a demon/angel/sorceress?
