Misery's Decision
When Misery opened her eyes, she wondered if she was still dreaming. She was pressed up against someone, all curled up. She looked up and saw Mizuki leaning his head forward. She blushed a little and managed to pull away without waking Mizuki. It was still about one o'clock. She weakly lay down on the cold couch.
Memories when she was little ran through her head. When she was happy or tired or sad or angry or excited, she'd always lay down on the couch. It held so many memories. All happy and sad and everything else.
When she woke up again, it was because Mizuki shook her.
"I don't mean to wake you up, but where's the bathroom?" he asked.
She led him and waited by the door. Her entire world was going down around her.
At breakfast, Misery asked, "Why am I still alive?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why didn't some other person get put in my predicament?"
"I don't know. But you're alive, aren't you?" Mizuki asked.
"I don't know, Mizuki. I just don't get it."
"What don't you get?" he asked as he picked at his breakfast.
Why it's me who's still alive and not Salem. Why I'm the one who somehow lived, and why I stayed alive. Why it's not someone else. Why I wasn't born to a family who has normal things happen to them! Misery wanted to shriek. But in order for her to say that, she'd be willing to reveal a lot of her past to Mizuki. Someone who she barely knew.
"It doesn't make any sense at all, Misery."
"Yeah. I guess. So have you decided what you're going to do?" she asked to change the subject.
"No."
"Well, I've decided that I'm going to the village hidden in the stone," Misery said.
"Why would you want to do that?" he said.
"I have an aunt who lives there. She was pretty close to my mom."
"Do you know how to get there?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Are you sure it's safe to cross te borders like that?" he asked.
"No. But what do I have to lose?" she smirked.
"I'll go with you," he insisted.
"No. You don't have to."
"What do I have to lose?" Mizuki asked.
"It'll take about a month," Misery said.
"Why a month?" he asked.
"I'm not a ninja and you're going with me."
Misery sighed. Why was she not reluctant to let him go? Why was she doing this?
Misery wanted to scream. She didn't want to be here right now. She wanted to sleep and wake up to find that this was all a nightmare. Sadly, no such luck.
