Chapter 15

~Day 4~

~Kahoko's POV~

"Am I doing this right?", I asked a little boy named Iku. I saw him sitting on my bed this afternoon and asked him how he got there. He had explained to me something that until now my mind is still trying to comprehend. He said something like Len's younger brother Yuu is not an ordinary person, to be exact, a vampire who uses magic or a demon in other words. I know I can see fairies but I didn't expect vampires, no, demons are really real! That's too much... why is my world full of supernatural things?

"Yes you are. Keep on pulling", the little boy with white hair said. He told me to hold the chain and try pulling it. I don't know what he meant by that chain but I'm 100% sure that I don't see a chain. What I'm pulling is air!

After a few minutes of pulling, Sakura came. Oh great! Now I'll end up thinking more. I'll end up getting insane here.

"Kahoko", Sakura called me. I kept on pulling air while looking at Sakura.

"What is it?", I asked her. She wore a worried expression.

"I'm sorry about the other day! I don't want you and Len having a difficult relationship... Please don't hate him for what happened! It was really an accident!", Sakura said then took a deep bow.

Accident... yes it was an accident but I didn't like it at all. "It's fine", I said and added, "Please raise your head!".

Sakura did what I told her and stared at my hands. "You must think I'm crazy for pulling something that isn't there", I said feeling foolish at what I'm doing.

"No, you're not crazy... you can see the chain?", Sakura asked while pointing at what I'm pulling... which is air!

"No... I cant see anything other than my hands pulling air which you call chain", I answered.

"STOP!", Iku said and stopped my hands. "one more pull and Len's hand will hit the wall".

"EH?", was all I can say. How is Len related to what I'm doing?

I saw Sakura took something from her wrist. She took my left wrist and put a bracelet on me.

"There... can you see it now?", Sakura asked me.

I can see a silver chain and it's attached to the black leather bracelet that I didn't know where it came from. All I did was nod while trying to comprehend what was happening. First was, Len's brother was a demon, second, a kid with white hair named Iku was with me, third was Sakura, Yuu's friend is here and fourth was that I can see a chain on my hand which I didn't see a while ago... and what is Len got to do with what I'm doing?

I'm right in front of Len's house. I don't know how I got here... all I know is that I'm pulling air a while ago and now I can see chains...

"I can't see the chains now but I hope what this little boy is doing is right", Sakura said.

The little boy glared at Sakura and said, "I'm here to help, of course what I'm doing is right. I know young master better than you two. Now lets wait what happens next".

I sighed and convinced myself that this was a dream... a very weird dream. I looked at the house's door and got surprised to see it open all of a sudden and Len came out running away the house.

"Len!", was what I said all of a sudden.

Len reached us and when we were about to ask what was wrong, I saw him took Sakura's hand. On that time I felt jealous but then it suddenly disappeared when he also took my hand and off we go running for I don't know the reason.

"What's wrong?", Sakura asked trying her best to match everyone's pace.

"Just run!", Len said panting hard.

"Why are we running?", I asked Len.

I saw him took a glance at me and then answered, "Yuu is after me and you two".

"So you're telling us that master Yuu is already having difficulty in keeping himself sane?", Iku asked. To my surprise, I saw him flying above Len with small wings on his back... he was following us.

"If you're telling me what I saw back there was sane. I'd be saying I saw hell!", Len said.

Iku flew ahead of us and said to follow him.

We followed the little boy and entered the forest nearby. After running for so long, I noticed that I was running alone. Len and Sakura was not around and in front of me was no one. I stopped and thought how I managed to get separated from the others but suddenly behind me something hit me and I fell unconcious.

~Len POV~

What was wrong with Yuu? In a mere second I saw him looking more like a monster. Glowing red eyes, his sharp fangs was really showing, his entire body was shaking and his skin was pale... he looked more like a corpse.

We had run further away the roads and all I can see were trees and darkness. It was already dark and on that moment I couldn't feel Kahoko nor Sakura beside me. When I turned around, I was alone. Both girls who was in my hold was gone. Since when did I let go of them? How come I didn't notice the little boy with us was gone?

"Kahoko?", I called out but no one answered. I tried calling Sakura but I didn't hear an answer.

I decided to run and no matter where I'll be heading, there's no use, I'm lost already so I don't care.

"Kahoko!", I called out while running. I couldn't see the moon and it was really dark. I wonder if Kahoko is okay. Same with Sakura and that little boy.

"Kahoko? Where are you? If you can hear me answer me!", I shouted as loud as I can but I couldn't hear anyone.

I'm already tired and now all I can think of was how Yuu looked like earlier.

"Your beloved will leave this world soon...", You said with a hoarse voice. He looked amused.

Recalling how he looked like and hearing what he said over and over in my head, it's making me insane.

"I wonder how she'll taste like", Yuu said while his crimson eyes followed me while I was forcing myself to run, my body felt numb. "I don't care if you get hurt but I'll take her... she'll leave this world eventually... she'll die anyway".

"Stop saying that!", I shouted. it was really dark and all I can think of was how Yuu wanted to kill... Kahoko... "I don't believe it!".

While running in this darkness like a nightmare for I don't know how long, I heard someone scream making me realize what I was really doing. It was a girl, I can tell. I followed where I heard it.

After a few minutes or running, I found an old-fashioned mansion. It was standing silently in this darkness and I could see light coming from one of the rooms inside.

I decided to go for it and I hope this was only a nightmare.

When I reached the gate I heard a batch of screams it echoed in my ears.

"Kahoko!".
