Fatal Fanfiction II: Crimson Notebook
Disclaimer: We don't own it.
This is a parody fic of Fatal Frame II, thought up by me-SyberiaWinx-and fellow Fatal Frame II authoress Hino Akai. I wrote this part. REVIEW OR DIE: P(It will get funnier after the prologue.)
Chapter One
The Forgotten Village
Akai seemed to be in a daze. She just stared at her sister blankly. For a moment, Syberia did the same. Akai staggered suddenly, and she moved forward and grabbed her sister's shoulders and began to shake her.
"Wake up, Akai!"
When there was no response, she began to shake her more roughly. "AKAI!! WAKE-UP-AND-GIVE-ME-BACK-MY-KINGDOM-HEARTS!!"
The slightly younger girl blinked. "It's in my bag…"
Syberia released her sister's shoulders, letting her fall to the ground, and went rummaging through the girl's bag until she located her game. She stuffed it into her own and then pulled Akai to her feet.
"Come on, let's get out of here."
But when the two reached the entrance gate, they saw that there was no path beyond it. All they could see was a never-ending sea of blinding blue light. Syberia cautiously reached her hand past the borders of the gate, only to yank her hand back with a cry as pain shot through it.
"It seems we can't go back this way…" Akai turned away and limped to the edge of the elevated clearing. "We'll have to go through the village…"
Syberia joined her. "What a weird-looking place…I don't remember hearing about any places like this. If they build the dam here, won't this place be destroyed?"
Akai just shook her head. "This village is already lost. I heard that it just vanished a long time ago after some kind of ceremony. And if you don't do something at the forest entrance before going inside, you become trapped here."
The elder girl glared at her. "You couldn't have mentioned that before you went running off earlier?" She cried out in frustration. "Just great! So now we have to go into some creepy village just to find our way back to the normal world?"
"That would seem to be the case." Akai pointed to a path that led down into the village. "Let's go that way."
The two started down the path and stumbled upon a black folder full of old papers. Syberia picked it up and started going through it. "It looks like some kind of story written by someone named Masumi Makimura…There are lots of things written on it in red pen." She found a little red notebook stuffed amongst the papers and opened it to the last entry. "It seems this belonged to a woman named Miyako…The last entry was a year ago…"
It's been some time since Masumi disappeared. The police have called off the search, but I can't give up hope! I'm going to go to the area where he disappeared. I'm sure I'll find him, and we can go home together…
"Someone else came here…" Akai said quietly, possibly talking to herself.
"Yeah…" Syberia stood up. "There's nothing useful here. Let's keep going."
The two girls continued down the path, until some rundown houses came into view. Syberia could have thought she saw a woman's image disappear into the first of the houses, but did not mention it to her sister.
"Looks like this place has been abandoned for a while…I wonder what happened to everyone…" Syberia said while Akai limped ahead a bit.
Akai was busy studying their surroundings. "Well, maybe someone went insane because of a failed ritual and massacred everyone."
"Nah! Get serious-that kind of thing only happens in video games!"
"I guess you're right…" Akai pushed on the door of the first house, and it opened slightly with a loud, painful creak. "Looks like the inside is safe…" She turned back to her sister. "Should we go inside?"
Syberia nodded, and the two went in. Just like the exterior, the interior was dirty and decrepit-as if no one had lived there for a very long time. As they stepped into the main room, Syberia thought she saw that woman again-standing in the kimono room on the other side of the lattice and instantly became nervous.
"I don't think we should go any further…" Syberia trailed off as she noticed her sister was hugging herself and trembling. "Akai? Akai, what's wrong?!" She touched her sister's arm and saw a frightening flash of strange images in black and white. Instinctively, she tried to pull away, but Akai now had a firm grip on her arm, and the visions flooded freely into her mind.
"Masumi…" A young woman walked down a dark corridor with a flashlight. "I'm sorry…"
Twins in purple kimonos were hanging in front of a circular window.
Further and further down the corridor…A man's brief, turning image at the corner.
"Masumi!" The woman began to run, throwing open the door and running straight into a partition. She cried out as she toppled onto the ground with it on top of her. The screen was suddenly pulled off of her, and a man's face was there-inhuman and covered with writing.
The young woman started screaming as the man raised a pen and swung it down at her
With a startled cry, Syberia wrenched her hand from Akai's grasp. "What was that?!" she demanded.
Even paler than before, Akai shook her head. "I-I'm not sure…but it reminds me of an episode of Friends I saw last night…"
Syberia shudded, but not because she was cold or because she was afraid, but because she really hated that show. "I've got a bad feeling-let's just get out of here." She pulled on the front door, but it would not budge. "It's stuck!" She exchanged a worried look with her sister. "I guess we'll just have to find another way out…"
