Iowa
I was crying on my bed, the people at School had thrown rocks at me as I left, so I ran, but still ended up with cuts all over. My mom tried to get someone to do something, but everyone was in favor of the kids who had beaten me… I cried so much that night that my eyes stung, it was almost Midnight, and I had school the next day. I didn't want to go, I didn't give a fuck what anyone said… I hated those kids, and I wanted a way to get back at them… the only problem is that there is a gap in my memory that was filled in at this time. Yet, something was different this night, I was still crying when I heard a deep and distorted voice. "Why are you crying human? Did someone hurt you?"
I looked up from my knees to see a cloaked figure standing in the corner of my room… he just stood there staring at me through a white mask with only one eye hole. The sleeves of his cloak were cut off and it seemed like he had no eyes. I nodded at the person; I had no reason to trust this person, and no reason not to. "P-people threw rocks at me…"
"Poor human…" The person was weird, it sounded like it was enjoying my pain. Yet, I still had no reason not to trust this person. That's when a long bone black arm slowly came out of the hole on the left side of the cloak, there were long claws attached to it, and in those claws was a torn up piece of paper with a single word on it. Shadow. "I have a way for you to get back at them if you want to…"
"W-what is it!?" I almost jumped off the bed at the person; I was getting desperate for a way out. I didn't care who it was done, not yet anyway… "I'll do anything!"
"You simply must bring them to this wonderful hour!" He retreated the claw into the cloak and titled his head. "If you can do that, the Shadows will do the rest."
"H-how do I do that!?"
"Make them doubt themselves…" I nodded and the creature laughed at me. I knew it was at me now, but it seemed like it was with me. I thought I had made a friend… I was so wrong. "By the way… my name is Nyarlathotep."

Forecast… Sunny
Friday
Don't worry, I won't harm you, I simply wanted to let you know that I knew where you were if you wanted to continue our game or not. Goodnight Richards. I didn't notice the back of the note until I was half way to school. I was still worried about this, this was weird and it was just added on to the list of stuff that I didn't want to deal with. I sighed this was gonna suck… that's when Chie ran up next to me. "Yo!"
"Hey Chie…" I should have been happy; I would have been too… if not for this damned note! She stopped smiling the moment she heard my voice. I knew that she worried the moment that I saw her expression. We almost stopped walking when she grabbed my wrist.
"You okay…?" I sighed when the question reached my ears. I was gonna have to tell someone about the note, even if I didn't remember that much about the author. I thought about if I should tell her or not, I did trust Chie, hell even with my life, but I was worried that this would get her killed… or hell, worse, I don't know what could have been worse, but if I brought her into this… I didn't want to find out. "You know you can tell if something's bothering you."
"I do…" I sighed; I made my decision at that moment… I had tried too many times to do things by myself, and it almost got me killed too many time. I took my hand out of her grip and slipped my hand into hers. I needed her now more than ever with this… I knew what I was going to do, but I needed one other persons help with this. "I'll tell you and Narukami about it after school, 'kay?"
"Okay," she still seemed worried, but just a little more relived about the situation. I knew that I could try and have them help me… I just got the sinking feeling that my past was a lot more traumatic than I remember…
Time Change: Early Morning to After School
Roof
"Thanks for coming up here guys…" I was leaning against the fence when Yu and Chie walked through the doors. I think I looked like a damned mess. I sighed; this was scaring me at this moment, would they still talk to me? Would they hate me? Would they still trust me? "I, uh… I need to tell you guys something…"
Chie walked over to me and sat down next to me. She obviously knew that I was having a hard time at that moment. Yu stood over us, he didn't really blink at me, I wanted this day to end and end quickly. "What's wrong?"
"I think… I think I did something a few years ago…" I was so worried that they would hate me, but Yu and Chie just looked at me. I was getting even more nervous when they didn't say anything. "I think I might have caused some people more pain, or even killed someone…"
At this moment both Yu and Chie shook their heads, and… smiled! "I highly doubt that." Yu smiled down at me, they seemed like they looked like they were going laugh. "You're not that kind of person."
"Who we are now is not determined by who we were, it is only the building blocks help build us up." I sighed, now I had to tell them about the nightmares. "Look guys, I've been having nightmares that seem to be, like lost memories, and there was a figure in them… he- he called himself Nyarlathotep. I think I'm actually remembering things… I just want your guys' help…"
Now they gave me a solemn look, they knew I was serious now. I really needed their help more than anything. "Okay, if anyone will stand by you through this… its me." Chie put her head on my shoulder. I half smiled at her, Yu nodded as well… I knew both of them were with me.
"Thanks… I think I need to go home and take a long cold shower…" I sighed and hugged Chie before looking to Yu and standing up. "Thanks man…"
With that I walked away. I did exactly what I said I was going to do… I hated my life still.
Sorry it's a short chapter the damn idea is a work in progress… so I didn't have much to go by, still hoped you enjoyed, and send feedback the next chapter will be longer!
