Chapter 4: Life is breaking
!.! Atsuki's Pov!.!
The look on Ash's face said he was scared of something, but what that something was, I was having trouble trying to figure out. After all this boy was hard to read, and he seemed to be looking at me. "what's going on...?" Ash sat down next to me, trying to look away from the fort.
!.!Sitting in the living room!.!
"have you remembered anything about your incident yet Ash?" He could tell Nola was slightly worried about him, but she had an odd way of showing it and plus they had always been a bit wierd when they were around him and he never seemed to know why. "I remember something but it's just a shadow that comes from nowhere and then I'm in a hospital and you guys are looking at me..." Atsuki noticed that he was hiding as he was talking, but he was doing a really good job, because Natsuki and Liu were both good at seeing through peoples lies, but they didnt' seem to be able to see through his. "well we are going to keep looking and you try to keep out of danger...whatever that Shinen was that wanted you, must have wanted something from you." Natsuki was looking at him closely trying to figure out what was going through his head. "yes ma'am..." he knew they were about to leave so he really didn't have to say anything, he would just let them leave. "Well Atsuki we will be leaving, keep him out of danger, and we won't be calling on you tonight unless we need since you said you needed the night to talk to him..." With that the group of people turned and walked out the door, into the car that was waiting for them.
!.! Ash's p.o.v!.!
I looked at them as they left, trying to sneak into my room hoping that Atsuki wouldn't catch me. "Ash get in here and sit down..." Atsuki seemed really mad, and I got the feeling he had found out about what me and Mika had been doing today after school. "what did I do?" I sat down on the couch looking up at him, wondering what he was going on about. "you were at that crime scene when I told you and Mika not to go...it could get you killed..." He sighed and sat down next to me, he looked like he was about to cry, but I knew he wasn't going to, he was just stressed and worried about. "look i'm sorry it was just Mika wanted to go, and well I couldn't let her go by herself...If I had left and something had happened to her, I would've felt bad..." I was thinking about the message I had gotten yesterday why had the girl reached out to me, and how did she get my number, since I barely knew her. "Well next time don't go there...alright there is stuff there that will hurt you..." Atsuki handed me some food and looked at the tv as it turned on. "Um Atsuki you know that girl who was killed in the alley, i got a voice mail from her when she died..." I pulled out my phone placing it in Atsuki's hand, I had saved the message and was letting him listen to it, when I heard a growl. My head began to hurt as I ran off and shivered falling to the ground my bowl shattering on the floor. "HELP GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" i coughed blood falling onto the ground, my stomach was hurting and I kept retching up blood, onto the floor. "Ash..." Atsuki grabbed me and picked me up moving me into the bathroom laying me down in the bathtub, rubbing my forehead. I was shivering, my front stained with blood, as I looked up at him. Across from me was the shinen that had attacked that girl and the one who had been trying to kill that girl when I had found her before...some of my memories were coming back. "atsuki...look..." I made Atsuki look to where the Shinen was so he could at least gather some data, becuase I thought it was going to disappear, but this time it stayed and attacked Atsuki knocking him out of the room. "ATSUKI!" I screamed trying to get out of the bathtub, but the creature attacked me throwing me into the wall. 'I have finally found my new host you will not be able to fight me forever...' The shadow vanished dropping my shuddering figure into the bathtub, the water had turned on and it was filling the tub, blood dripping into the water from the cuts on my back. All I saw before I passed out was Atsuki pulling me out of the water. 'I guess this was how it was supposed to end...'
!.! Atsuki's p.o.v!.!
I laid him down on the bed, the boy was shivering his body temperature was slightly weak, and yet on fire, the cuts had been tended to and now he was resting. There had been something in that bathroom, that wanted to take Ash away. This was getting out of control, I had to do something, so I pulled out my phone and called up Liu. "Look just tell Nola that I need someone to come down here and I asked for you...this silent is after Ash for something he has and whatever that is we need to find out before this gets worse..." The boy laying on my bed was shivering as if he was fighting something, but at that time no one knew what would happen next or who was really behind this. The question on everyone's mind was who is going to die next?
