It's been 3 days since Shintaro`s gruesome encounter with the strange Lolita…
Just like what he feared, he was indeed living a gruesome life.
The same evening of his fateful encounter, Shintaro remembered what he read. He recalled the foreign site that holds different urban legends together with the legend that he picked, the Urban Legend about a White Lolita.
Along with his nostalgia and dismay, he remembered that he didn't close his computer which may help him to go over this terrifying scenario; he then raced to his room only to find a clean desktop. He abruptly realizes that he accidentally hit the close button when his carbonated drink spilled over. But that's not the thing that infuriates him; it's the fact that he placed a special program on his web browser, that whenever he closes his window, the history, tabs, and sites will be forgotten and deleted as well.
Dejected, he can only regret in vain…
The next day, he secluded himself even more from the outside world because of fear. He tried staying in bed as much as he could with the sheets, placed all over his shivering body. This was the intelligent course of action he did, letting the time pass by. Because, what else could he DO?
*TICK**TOCK* *TICK*
The clock that keeps on ticking in a rhythmical method, just like a metronome that was also occurring in the heart of the isolated boy kept him awake. With blood-shot eyes, sweaty clothes, a motionless body, and a blank mind, he was already too hard to distinguish compared to his usual self.
It was too much, too much to bear. The fear that never fades was just eating away at him, an unexplainable cold sensation that starts from the feet up to his brain, letting his cells and vessels stop and malfunction as he stares onto the dark space that surrounds him. A superficial day, a perfect distorted reality, and a world where abysmal insanity can take place, to be exact a "Monster of Chaos" was enough to describe it.
Shintaro was nervous and tired, since he hadn't had enough sleep due to the things that suddenly happened yesterday. It was just so…creepy; it was the first time he ever felt this kind of emotion. So it was true, the thing about when a person encounters/seen/heard something unusual, it will stay embedded in your mind for a quite a period of time. Shintaro realized this, making him more worried.
Because it won't help him being scared all the time, he tried thinking of other things too distract him from his current mindset. He tried thinking of fun memories, but regrettably, it was cut off by a single sentence "Did I even have any fun memories?"
*TICK* *TOCK* *TICK*
It was already 6:00 PM, and Shintaro was still staying in bed, doing nothing. He still hasn't eaten anything since this morning, so he was really hungry right now. Trying to gather the little strength he had left, he tried to get something to eat.
He removed the sheets that's covering him, went outside his room and goes downstairs. It was dark and cold. The stench of garbage that he didn't manage to throw out started lurking, but for some reason that's not the only thing that was noticeable.
*PSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH*
A sound of a pot overflowing can be heard from the kitchen. Unsettled and knowing that it's best to not get curious, Shintaro tried making a sneak peak. He opened the lights and tried spying around the area. Upon observing the surroundings of the kitchen, he found a pot that`s on still on fire and overflowing. Gazing and staring, he tried to get closer to it.
Once in front of the suspicious pot, he opened the lid. A black mist and foul stench comes right after opening the lid, making Shintaro flinch and wait for it to clear up. The mist dissipated and a grotesque black oozing liquid is present.
"What the hell!?" Shintaro yelped in horror. How could this happen!? This has never happened before! Please no more! I`m so tired…. Please, please someone help….. Shintaro clutched his head as tears started to form under his bloodshot eyes. Awkward silence stirred up….
*CREAK*
Startled, Shintaro quickly make out where the sound came from. He went out of the kitchen just to see a familiar figure.
"Why…. Hello the..re Onii-san…" a smirk of a monster has appeared….
"HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET IN!?"
"Hehe….that`s a S-E-C-R-E-T"
The abnormal creature that`s ruining Shintaro`s life is now in front of him with the same old dirty clothing, the same old wounds, the same old smirk and the same old rotten presence she brings. But if there is something different, it`s the fact that she seems to be calling him as "Onii-san". But due to disbelief of the situation, Shintaro didn't notice or take measurements of the scenario.
Cold sweats and a growing anxiety started burdening him and already overtaken him…
"Ah~ tha…t`s right! Onii-san I already pre..pared dinner for you, you m…ust have been hungry right? After all, you didn't com…e out of your room" she crudely asked.
Shintaro wanted to answer and run away, but his environment won't let him. The strange girl then shifted her position and headed straight for the pot.
Noticing that the lid was not in place, she tried to find a plate that would fit the sides of the pot. After finding a plate that would suffice, she quickly covered the pot and let it cook.
During that time, Shintaro tried moving but was stopped because of a question.
"Say… do you love me?" An unpredicted question echoes through the room.
"Eh…?" what is she…saying? Shintaro thought.
...
No words were exchanged and just awful silence was present.
The girl just then went to the drawer to get a fork. She then started to walk towards Shintaro, as he also started to walk backwards. With the unusual pace he was going, he lose his balance and fell. The Lolita now in front of him, sit between his legs and gave the poor boy an eerie smile before she violently stabbed Shintaro`s thigh.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Shintaro shrieked in pain. The soft flesh that hasn't been scathe is now being vigorously played with. Blood was gushing out everywhere as the Lolita continued digging the blood-stained fork deeper to his thigh. Deeper the hard metal object goes, feeling its way to the veins and blood vessels that was in peace; tearing his own body part into little pieces of rotten flesh. The little chunks of meat that's being held back by the fabric of his pants just didn't help, instead it just brought more discomfort and helped raising the swollen injury.
The hopeless boy truly wanted to resist the attack, but unfortunately with their position and the excruciating pain he is feeling, it was useless.
*STAB* *STAB* *STAB*
"ARGGGGHHHH! S-STOP IT!"
Up down, up down the bloody fork go, as the Lolita continued with her little 'game'. She happily maintained the stabbing of her beloved Onii-san, making him learn that she is in charge. Scraping the flesh and making its way deeper made her joyful, even her hand and dress that was now covered in her brother's blood intensifies her satisfaction. It was all obvious if you could just take a peek into her sinister grin.
She halted her actions as she repeats her question:
"Say… do you love me?"
Knowing what`s best to reply with, Shintaro could only answer:
"Yes…. I do…."
The Lolita then removed the fork that was embedded in his swollen flesh and stood up, leaving a half-dead boy to show.
His eyes were half-closed and were heavy. His body was motionless and numb, even the injury he had gotten can't make him feel anything. He didn't know what to do anymore as his consciousness continued to drift away.
"By the way, if yo..u`re hungry, you c..an eat my specialized co...oking! I`ll always stay with you forever Onii-san"
Those were the last words Shintaro heard before his consciousness completely disappears.
The following day, Shintaro awakened in his bed. Realizing the sheer terror last night, he hastily removes the blanket covering him only to see his thigh properly wrapped in bandages.
"Ugh… what happened?" he complained.
Knowing that just questioning blindly won't help him, he roamed his eyes to his gloomy room.
"What?!" as much to his surprise, the once messy room was now neat and tidy. He jumped out of his bed and went to his bathroom. Standing in front of his mirror, he noticed how he was sweating a lot and his clothes were changed. Sure enough his thigh that was injured and bandaged was still giving him sharp pains; after all it was a deep and serious injury: but the fact that he was still alive was unbelievable.
Feeling so grateful for the first for being alive, his body started to shiver but not because of fear but because of happiness. He fell to the ground as tears started overflowing in his swollen eyes.
"Aah…. I`m alive, I really am…"
*RING*
*RING*
*RING*
Shintaro jolted at the sudden sound, he then realizes that it was his phone so he stood up and went out of the bathroom.
Upon reentering his room, words cannot say how much he was so mistaken…
"G…ood morning!"
"W-why….?"
"Did you for…gotten? I already tol..d you that I was staying with you F-O-R-E-V-E-R!"
Shintaro then finally kept his thought, he could never run away and this will continue its cycle….
-END-
