Mai POV

(We left off in a dream….that Mai couldn't wake up from)

"Mai! Mai, don't leave us now Mai!"

I kept hearing these voices, although, slowly I became deafer and deafer to the noise. My eyesight became blotchy and I could barely breathe. Was this how it felt to die? I wondered what awaited me after death, blissfulness; would I get to see my parents? Would we finally get to be a happy family, all together? It was all I really ever wanted. I couldn't even remember why I stayed alive, I mean, all I ever did was stay after school with my friends and tell ghost stories. That was all I really had to live for, them, right?

Something bothered me, like I was leaving something important behind. But everything that was important to me was already gone, my mom and my dad. And when I died, I would see them again. For some reason though, I was scared and sad. A lonely tear rolled down my check, I was hurting, my lungs were stinging, but, by this point the rest of my body was numb.

I heard another voice call out, "Mai! Please, you have to wake up!"

I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not anymore. If this was a dream, would I die and then be thrown back into reality? Or was I simply having delusions? Did no one else exist except for in my head? I was confused and weary, weak and alone. If there was someone else out there, they would just have to cope without me. It hurt too much to keep myself alive, especially since I was completely alone, with only limited warmth.

Heavy thuds walked up to my crippled body. It was the man. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me up to his face, "Where is Chiyuki?" he growled in my ear. I wanted to tell him that she was gone, that he would never find her now, but I was speechless. I couldn't move, all he was carrying was a limp, barely conscious body. As soon as he realized this, he tossed me back onto the grounded and treaded forward. I didn't have much longer. I prayed that once I was gone, my parent would be waiting for me.

But for some reason, I didn't want to see my mom. I wasn't sure as to why, but I was scared to see her, as if she had done something horrible in the past. I remembered her being an amazing mom, she was the BEST mom. I couldn't understand what was going on! I wanted to live, but I wanted to die! I wanted to see her, but I was scared to see her! Everything in my mind clashed and I didn't know why! I looked up at the sky, it was dark and starry, and almost, relieving. I let it hypnotize me, although the hypnotism didn't last long.

"Mai!" The voice shouted again, I felt distress coming again. I knew I had to wake up. I didn't know how I was going to do it but I did. I changed my mind, I didn't want to die anymore. I was really scared of death, I had something to live for, I didn't know what but I did!

"She isn't breathing!" the voice said, "She's not breathing!" It was a boy, this time he was yelling. Why did he care so much about me? What was I to him? He continued, "Takigawa, get water! We have to make her wake up?"

"I thought you said she wasn't breathing!" a female voice said, "Water won't help!"

"No, it faint, we just have to get her up!" He was right, I was barely breathing. There was no logical explanation for this, I figured that I was either mentally ill, or there was more than this that meets the eyes. I tried to force myself to wake up; my entire body felt like acid now, and trying to force myself up didn't help. There had to be something I could do, there had to! I had the will to do so much, why didn't I have the will to simply wake up from a dream. A very scary dream.

A name entered my mind. It was like I knew it but I didn't. Like I almost remembered it, but I couldn't completely remember. I had to tie all the loose ends together, the name. It belonged to someone important to me. Not my mother, nor father. It definitely wasn't any of my friends from school. Who was it?

The name belonged to a boy, a genius boy. He was rude but he could be really sweet. And he changed my life, but who was he? Who was he? Who on earth was he?! I remembered the name, I remembered who it was. That jerk, that narcissistic jerk!

"Naru" I mumbled as my eyes flashed open, "Naru, Ayako, Monk, John, Masako, Yasuhara, Lin" I said, making eye contact with each one of them. Something to live for: SPR. People who loved me, how did I forget them? My new family.

Naru and Lin stood the side while everyone else crowded around me. John said nothing, he looked at me, his eyes spoke relief, but still reflected fear. Masako grabbed my hand, and massaged it. Ayako, was rubbing my back as the tears streamed down my face. Monk held my other hand and was wiping my tears.

"Mai," Monk began, he was one of the voices. He was the first voice to call out to me as I was dying, "Do you want to talk about it?"

I shook my head, John and I made eye contact. Finally he said, "Mai, I'm really glad you are alright. Things weren't looking good on our end. I'm just very thankful that you're all right." I smiled to him as my thanks. I couldn't make my voice work at the moment. I was still trembling, I remembered the pain of death, and I got scared again. My tremors increased dramatically.

"Mai," Naru said, he had been the other voice. He was the one who was yelling. How had he sounded so concerned and yet, now, he looks so calm? He handed me tea, "Calm down. You're safe now." I took a sip of the tea and breathed deeply. My heart began to steady itself as I continued sipping my tea.

Slowly, everyone migrated to the screens, until it was only Monk and I. I wondered what was going on, I tried looking through all the people, but I couldn't see what was going on. Noticing my curiosity, Monk said, "They noticed some unusual temperature drops in a couple room while you were asleep." I nodded.

Just then Naru came by, "Takigawa, we are going to need you to do an exorcism." He looked down at me and squeezed my hand, "I'll stay with her." Naru promised. He smiled thankfully and stood up. The two discussed the details of what Monk was to be doing. I ignored them, I wanted to sleep, but I wasn't really up for dreaming after my last experience about a half hour before.

Within twenty minutes, the only ones left in the base were Naru and I. Monk and Lin went off, John took Masako with him to do his exorcism. And Ayako took Yasu. I had no idea why everyone was going in pairs, what this house that bad?

Naru looked back at me, "Mai, what happened?" Although nothing physical about him said it, I could tell he had been worried. He stared at me as if he had to know or else death would befall him. I found that almost ironic, considering my dream. I was quiet for a moment, I didn't know how to answer. I did know that I had to answer.

I looked at him, "Naru, I heard you. You helped me." Tears began strolling down my face again, the fear of almost having lost all of this overwhelmed me and I couldn't stop trembling. Naru looked to the side before walking up to me, and pulling me close to him. He said nothing, he just held me there, "Naru, thank you." He continued his silence. I figured there was no making him talk at this point. So we just sat together, without moving for about ten minutes.

After that time elapsed, Naru sat up, "Are you feeling better now?"

I nodded, "I am" I said semi confidently.

"Good," he said, "Make yourself useful."

I sighed, he was such a jerk sometimes, scratch that, what just happened was either 1. An illusion or 2. A fluke. Both completely plausible, Naru was ALWAYS a jerk. He told me to watch the screens and before he walked out of the door he stated firmly, "And don't fall asleep."

I sighed, for once, I had the feeling I wouldn't have such a hard time following that order.
