CHAPTER 4: Impostor Advisory pt 2; Abandoning Troubles

Rin laid on her bed with a sigh while staring at the ceiling for God knows how long as she recapped what happened at the library. Rin slowly brought her hand to her lips.

She cant believe her first kiss...was stole by a girl...

A Few Hours Ago...

Rin gaped at Miku in shock. She blinked once then twice as she tried letting what just happen sink into her brain. Did she just-...And that was-...why would she-...

Her mind went blank and all Rin felt was complete confusion. Miku simply smiled at the very speechless Rin and picked up her bag. "I'll be going home now." She said and left just like that without any explanation. Rin was still stunned as she stared at Miku's retreating figure.

Rin groaned and rolled in her bed. "I cant believe that Miku was the first to leave!" She murmured to herself. "Ah, Geez! I just dont get it!"

Should she be the first to leave and not Miku? Like one of those mangas she read...but then again, Miku's a girl and this whole thing wasnt like those shoujo mangas. Besides, she doesnt like Miku that way...

Rin sighed. Her mind is a total mess. First, a mysterious death of one of her classmates that has to do with the 'Bookmark of Demise' then she lashes out on Len, Miku, and Mikuo because she was terrified of dying then suddenly from one of her friends, an unexpected ki-

Rin's face went red as she remembered that...incident and she groaned in frustration. "Ahhh Stop, Stop, Stop! Let just forget it!" She exclaimed to herself. "I should change and then take a bath." She sat up and proceeded to take off her jacket.

She paused when she smelled a faint scent on her jacket. Rin stared at it before bringing it up to her face and sniffing it. It was the scent of roses. It was Miku's scent...

Rin clicked her tongue and took a spray from her desk. She then started spraying her jacket, trying to get rid of the smell. Rin just hated having scents sticking to her clothes, no matter who its from.

She stood and hanged her uniform into the closet. Rin glanced at the mirror and saw something odd. "Huh?" She approached her mirror and stared at it in confusion. "Where did my ribbon go?" She wondered as she patted her head. Her big white ribbon was completely gone from her head. She could've sworn she was wearing it...

She shrugged. It was fine since she had a lot more but just to be sure...

Rin picked up her bag and searched inside. Maybe she placed it in her bag. Suddenly her phone rang loudly in her bag, startling Rin. "Wah! That scared me." She sighed in relief as she picked up her phone and opened it. It was a message from one of her classmates.

To: Rin

From: XXX

Hey Rin! Today was crazy!

Rin sighed again and proceeded to reply back.

From: Rin

To: XXX

Yeah it was.

The reply came pretty fast.

You looked like you were really shocked, Rin so I was wondering if you were okay.

-0-0-0-

Well, I was really startled at that time but I'm fine now.

-0-0-0-

I see, thats good.

-0-0-0-

Sorry to make you worried.

-0-0-0-

No, its okay when we were going home, you suddenly disappeared so I was a little worried.

-0-0-0-

Rin grunted. She actually left right away after the school ended to go to the old building which is where she started screaming and lashing to the group and Rin still felt embarrassed for losing her composure like that even though they already knew what her personality was like and understood how she felt after the sudden news.

Rin shook her head and replied back.

There was something I was curious about...

-0-0-0-

Ah okay, well I don't think its a good idea to be alone so much right now. Its scary so..

-0-0-0-

Yeah, I know.

-0-0-0-

Plus, You stand out.

-0-0-0-

Ehh come one, thats not true.

-0-0-0-

It so is!

Rin sighed tiresomely. How many times has she had this conversation? It was always the same topic but with different people. To be honest, it was already tiring.

Another message popped out and Rin paused, staring at the message in confusion and shock.

To: Rin

From: XXX

So a while ago, what were you doing in front of the station?

Huh?

That doesnt make sense. The station? She had been in her room this entire time and besides the station was just too far from her house. It was impossible.

-0-0-0-

Eh?

-0-0-0-

You were in front of the station ten minutes ago, werent you?

-0-0-0-

Ten minutes ago? Rin replied to the message quickly.

Didnt you just mistaken me for someone else?

-0-0-0-

Huh? But I thought it was you. She was wearing a white ribbon too.

-0-0-0-

I've been at home though...

-0-0-0-

I guess I did mistaken someone else for you then- but since something like that just happened, I was a little worried.

-0-0-0-

Its okay. I think it was just another girl from our school.

Rin sent. What is the meaning of this? Is this actually the "rumor" Len made up? But that was days ago, would she really ask her about this, especially under today's circumstances?

Its true that this isnt the first time her "friends" had heard weird rumors from Len but...

No, it was probably just a small mistake. It just has to be...

"She was wearing a white ribbon too.."

Rin slowly brushed her hand through her hair before she groaned and dug deeper into her bag. "Ugh, where did that ribbon disappeared to?!" She exclaimed until she felt something inside her bag that seemed out of place. "Huh? What's this?" She slowly grabbed the thing and pulled it out.

Her eyes widened when she saw that it was actually a white envelope.

Her heart beat raced, she started sweating as she stared in horror at the thin sheet. "This is..." Rin knew exactly what it was. It was the signal to the start this demise game and a declaration of the end.

Kokkuri-san's demand.

Rin screamed out loud and dropped the letter as if it were acid to her hands. She crawled backwards to get away from it as she remember of today's incident. "N-No." Rin denied desperately. "T-This cant be-"

Thud.

Rin flinched at the sudden noise then she looked over to her desk. Her face paled and she shrieked again in an even higher tone. There, on her desk, sat a big black book. The Book of Demise.

She held her head as she hyperventilated. She was beyond terrified. All she could think of was...

Despair.

Fear.

Terror.

Death.

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared

Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, PLEASE STOP!

If only everything was just a bad dream. Please, oh please wake her up from this nightmare!

"Rin, are you alright?" Rin's mother asked worriedly. Last night, her daughter didnt come down for supper at all then she heard screaming inside her room. She tried talking to Rin to ask what was wrong but she never opened the door nor did she left the room all night. It worried her. "Its terrible something like this happened.." She continued. "But you shouldnt let it bother you too-"

"Sorry." Rin interrupted. "Just leave me alone for now." With that, she stood up from the table and left the room. After the incident, school was canceled for a whole week. Rin avoided contact with her family and spent most of her time in her room, hugging her knees in fear.

Rin looked over to her desk. That terrible, terrible book was still there, untouched. She stood up from her bed and made her way to it. With trembling hands, she picked up the book and bit her lip.

Its been already a day since she received the book and she had come to a decision.

Rin panted as she ran to the park. It was unusually empty but she wasnt complaining. She glanced around to make sure no one was around. She held the book that was placed inside a plastic bag, close to her chest.

She pulled her hood closer to her head as she walked over to a bush that was filled with flowers. Rin then quickly threw the bag into the bush. Her heart pounded harshly against her chest and she clenched her hands.

There. She has finally got rid of her troubles. The letter, the book, the bookmark, everything!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and Rin cringed as the strong smell of roses filled her nose. Rin stepped back a bit and groaned as she felt a little dizzy from how strong the scent was.

"There." She mumbled. She stared at the bush for a moment before she turned her back and left. "Its better this way."

And this ends the second chapter of Impostor Advisory. If you have noticed, all the chapters are happening all at the same time but they are in different point of views. The first was Len's and this is Rin's point of view during all this.

Anyways thanks for reading this chapter and please continue reading until the next chapter okay? I'll reply to the review next time so see ya!
