Ok, so the last chapter was slow and ok because I was scared of ghosts but then I watched this Korean scary movie with my parents called Witch Board or something like that and I was supposed to be scared but I made sure not to see anything distinct and memorable then I realized, I would have done the same thing as the ghosts. After that, I was like 'CHOKE HER CHOKE HER!'

Oh yeah, reminder that italics for the girl mean that she's talking sweetly and junk with her normal face then bold means that her face is distorted but she's not necessarily angry and then bold italics mean that her face is distorted and she's angry.

Mai went home completely tired. She was told to start working overtime because she started leaving in the middle of the day just to go somewhere the girl wanted to go. Mai didn't understand why the girl wanted her to go certain places… It's not like she couldn't go there herself. She laid down on her bed and fell asleep.

In her dream, Mai was standing on a roof of a two story house. The house seemed to be old fashioned because of its tiled roof but Mai wasn't going to take the chance to confirm it. It was misty and Mai couldn't see much. If it was this type of dream, did that mean Naru was here too? Mai thought as she looked around searching for any sign of him. Two roofs away, Naru was standing on one looking down.

Mai followed his gaze. There were two girls playing around by a river. They were giggling and trying to find their way through the mist.

It all seemed vaguely familiar… Mai didn't know why, but it did.

Then she woke up.

The girl was sitting next to Mai looking out the window.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound," the girl started singing.

She kept singing but then she stopped, looked at Mai and walked off.

The next day, when the girl disappeared for a bit, Mai took this opportunity to ask Naru some questions.

"Naru?" she entered his office.

"What is it Mai?" he asked coldly, "I'm busy."

"I just need to ask some questions."

"What?"

"If a ghost hanged around the person they're haunting without doing anything that bad, what would be their reason?"

Naru sighed and looked up from his papers. "Why?"

"Um… Just from a story I read online."

Naru sighed again. "It could be that they're waiting until they get stronger or that they're waiting for you to realize something."

"How do you know--"

But Mai couldn't finish her question when she saw the girl in the corner of Naru's office. The girl's expression was blank as if saying 'you coward'.

"Never mind," Mai said exiting the office.

That day after work, Mai felt very cautious. Like there was something following her. She'd be doing her paperwork when suddenly, footsteps would echo and she'd look up but nothing would be there. When she exited a store, the bell kept ringing in her head.

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring.

It kept ringing over and over that when the phone rang, it was smothered by the ringing sounds so Naru yelled at Mai to pick it up the next day.

Outside, it was raining and there was a thunderstorm. It startled Mai and the ringing stopped. But this time, the entire room was silent to the point that it was deafening. To shake off her nerves, Mai started singing but the silent kept creeping up.

Suddenly the lights went out. Mai shrieked from the sudden darkness.

"A blackout?" she frantically searched for any source of light, "Why now?"

Finally, she settled for her phone's light. Mai headed towards the general direction of Naru's office but an ear splitting scream cut through the air. Reluctantly, Mai followed it. The lights switched on but instead of the somewhat yellow glow they had, they were red. However, Mai forced herself to follow it and the lights switched off with every step she took, passing them.

Mai found herself on the roof, staring at the girl who stood near the edge and held an umbrella above her head.

"I used to play a game," she said motioning for Mai to come over, "With my friends."

When Mai stood in front of the girl, the girl held the umbrella above Mai and though Mai wanted to inch away, she felt frozen.

"About this game…" the girl continued, "It was called 'Would you rather'. In this game, we would be given two things and we would say which one we'd rather do."

The girl stepped aside to reveal a broken pipe.

"If I pour this in and throw in a match, the entire building would burn down," she held up a bottle and a small box, "So Mai-chan, would you rather die of a fire or of being pushed off a building?"

"Put that away!" Mai glared at the girl and her bottle, "Stop it!"

But the girl simply smiled assuringly… and pushed Mai off the roof.

Naru was doing his work when the lights went out. He heard Mai shriek from the other room. Sighing, he took another sip of his tea and went to get Mai. When Naru came out of his office, the front door was open and Mai was nowhere to be found. She must have left early, he mentally rolled his eyes. Deciding he no longer wanted to stay, Naru went out to his car.

Naru was halfway to his car when he glanced up and saw Mai near the edge of the roof. Is she stupid?! Naru thought turning around fully. He was about to go up and stop her when he saw that Mai wasn't facing the edge like one committing suicide would. She was facing her left but he couldn't see what she was doing.

That's when Mai suddenly fell off. Naru tried to use his PK but Mai still fell and she still got splattered on the ground. Naru whipped out his cell phone and called for an ambulance.

When Mai woke up, she saw that all the SPR members were there. Ayako was the first one to notice she woke up.

"Why were you on the roof?" she demanded, "During a thunderstorm too!"

Mai just stared at her. Or rather, through her.

"Listen to me!"

Bou-san stopped her. "She's traumatized right now," he whispered, "Just let her rest."

Mai suddenly sat up and took in a bunch of deep breaths. Everyone stared at her curiously. And then she screamed.

I understand that it just became even more confusing but just bear with me here. I also know that I've never given the girl the name but I suck at naming and I decided that maybe (just maybe) I'll put in a small twist with the names. It's still a bit off rhythm because it's hard to slow things down then speed things up on top of coming up with great ideas.

I'm not sure when the next time I can update is but it might not be for a while. If you need a reason you can ask but I think that a super long author's note and a not so good chapter (feel free to disagree, lol) is a good way to lose readers. Lol. REVIEW!
