IMPORTANT INFO: Because of many big projects due, and homework getting more intense, I need to hold up on posting chapters for a while. I promise I'll work on them off and on, but for now, I need to focus on school. Please forgive me.

Expect chapters to be up every week to every other week. This weekend doesn't really count, being Halloween and all!

Rin's POV

I... I didn't know what to think anymore; can I even think anymore? I stood in front on the mirror in my bathroom, looking at myself over and over again, glancing at every part of me as if some horrible, inhuman, foreign object found itself taking over and consuming my flesh. These hands on mine trailed over several bites on my neck, along with red marks along my stomach and torso, before they covered my mouth- which remained in a gasp; I was perfectly ashamed. Yes, I loved my brother dearly, but to have it happen this early, and in this way? I never wanted it to happen like it. It never should have happened like this. I just hope he never figures out the full picture.

Yes, I was the first one to wake up. The lights from his window found their way through the certain, letting in the sun as it hit my face. Sure, at first I didn't think anything of this. I mean, sun light hits my face every morning; why would this be any different. What struck me first didn't happen until my eyes had gotten adjusted- I happened to be in his room. His room, not mine, and I never remembered even being here. I shifted my body away from his- which I was reluctant, I'll admit that much- but it was different when my headache kicked in. It was the same, if not worse, than the time I drank at Meiko's house...

I ran out and into my room when I had found out what had happened. My mind had pieced it all together. And here I was, standing in front of the mirror, gasping what what should have never been. And to be perfectly honest, I was scared- I am scared- about what might happen if anyone else, especially Len, found out what happened that night. Slowly, hand hands clenched together in a sudden thought, making my knuckles turn white. All I had been doing this whole time was digging my own grave- my own fucking dirt hole. My head turned away from the mirror as water fell down my reflection's blue eyes. My life was completely ruined now.

Steamed filled the bathroom as the warm, heated water fell down from the faucet into the waiting white bathtub. Slowly I slid in, letting the warmth spread through me to relax both my body and my mind- since my clothes were already discarded in the hamper. I needed to think for a while, alone.

Len's POV

Something really confused me. I mean, really confused me. First of all, all my clothes and many things are scattered on my bedroom floor, which wasn't that bad, knowing there was a party. Let's face it, many of those people need to be tidier. But where I was confused me, and how I was. My head hurt worse than anything- but maybe some asprin can take care of that. But what could possibly make my head hurt? My eyes squeezed shut as I sat up in my bed, rubbing my temples. It must have been all those drinks, to my demise.

I shook my head, and headed down to my bathroom after heading to the dresser and getting dressed. My hand trailed down several bites and red marks on my neck that still remained visible. No, I still couldn't fathom it, until I remembered one little detail. Whether it was my twisted dream caused by the sake- or whether it was real- the only thing I remember from after the 'contest' was Rin. My mind jumped to a strange conclusion after piecing it all together.

My head shook, trying to chase away the sick thought. But something deep inside me knew it was true. I was in my room with the bed completely wrinkled, and with me in my current condition, with my thoughts of Rin. It was just sick and twisted and wrong that something like that could happen.

But was it really twisted and wrong...? That small voice inside me kept asking.

...Yes, it was. It was wrong, taboo, and not to mention illegal. There's a reason it was a sin.

Inwardly, I sighed. I knew my life was scarred- almost ruined. This was not going to be something that would be easy to get away from. Well, as long as only I knew, everything would be fine in the end. But I knew things were going to be different between us, Rin and I, and I'm sure I wasn't going to like it. If anything, things were going to become distant. I just hope she never finds out.

I ravaged through my dresser, grabbing a scarf to keep all those bites hidden. I was reluctant, but I headed down the steps bit by bit, hoping not to run into that certain person this morning. But, seeing how we lived in the same house, it was inevitable. It proved true as I turned the corner into the kitchen, seeing my sister.

Guys, this is real important. I hate to inform you of this, but I can no longer write 1000 Ways to Die for a while. I do promise that I'll work on chapters on and off, but Algebra just got more homework, and I have a LARGE project due in both Science and in Language Arts. Please, forgive me, and still expect the story to continue. I HATE being the author that starts writing slower, but that's life, ya know?
