Doki Doki Days to Come Ch. 2
"Sayori!" Matthew screamed, and that was the last he ever saw of her. After the gruesome image of Sayori hanging from a bloodstained rope had managed to carve its way into his mind, he vowed that he would never forget her and how he had failed to save her. He knew it was his fault. He hadn't even seen her pain. He didn't know what it was like to hurt in the way that he had caused her to. Matthew slowly walked out of Sayori's house, passed his own, and never once looked back. It didn't matter what he did now, so he just kept walking. Matthew could never live contently with himself no matter what. Not after what he caused Sayori to go through. Never. Never. Never. Never.
He burst into a frantic sprint.
Never. Never. Never. Never. Never.
He stopped.
Never…
His ears became filled with screaming noises and his eyes were assaulted with violent flashes of color. He felt an indescribable pain in his head. Then, he collapsed.
Matthew really enjoyed spending time at the literature club. Ever since Monika had asked him to join he had felt like he was supposed to be there. Natsuki and Yuri clashed from time to time, but ultimately the literature club was a genuinely peaceful and pleasant place to immerse himself in.
That is until Yuri started to become a bit more pushy. For the most part he didn't mind, but Matthew sometimes became slightly annoyed -and even unsettled- by Yuri. She spent all of her time in the club watching him. At least that was to say whenever he looked in her direction she was watching him. As the days went by Yuri saw to it that Matthew saw less and less of Natsuki and Monika.
However, one day Yuri was not yet in the club room.
"Hi Natsuki."
"Matthew, why didn't you come to read manga with me yesterday?"
"I'm sorry I-"
"I was waiting all day for you."
"Natsuki-"
"ALL ****ING DAY! YOU NEVER CAME!"
Matthew couldn't believe the scene that came before him next. Natsuki's eyes went became violent black pixels. Her neck bones snapped completely, forcing her head into a contorted horizontal position. Then, she ran towards him with inhuman speed.
He shuddered.
"Hi Matthew."
Yuri had rushed over to greet Matthew as he entered the club room.
"Uh... Hi Yuri."
"Do you want to read with me?" she said practically dragging him away, "Come on!"
Suddenly, Monika approached Yuri. She had a slight frown on her face as she scanned Matthew thoroughly.
"You know Yuri, I think Matthew might want to spend some time with the rest of the club. It's kind of like you're keeping him to yourself. He's his own free person you know."
"Why don't you ****ing leave!"
"Oh." Monika's face gained a shocked yet saddened expression. "Ok then. Come on Natsuki let's go." Her expression then shifted to one of defiance, but she and Natsuki left the clubroom.
Yuri reached into her bag and extracted a knife that had been concealed among her belongings. She pointed it towards her arm as if it was instinctive.
"Matthew, will you be mine? Will you give your very being to me?"
"Woah! Yuri-"
Yuri began hacking away at her flesh. She gouged her stomach with the blade and then brought it up to her chest. "This is for you," she said with a lifeless smile. Her body was covered immensely in blood and she had plunged the knife straight through her heart that had now ceased to give a steady beat. Her eyes went blank and she fell, crashing into a desk.
Matthew just sat there and watched.
Author Note: This chapter is pretty short (I know, duh). Sorry, about that. I'm planning for the next chapter to be longer, and I look forward to making it. Thanks for reading!
