lm leaving soon, but l will try to write as much as l can till then.

Mai walked back to her room and walked inside quietly, in order not to wake any one. she didn't notice that Masako wasn't in her bed.


"what are you planing to do with me." Masako asked as she saw a dark figure walk over to her.

"shhh." she heard a womans voice and she found herself closing her eyes and falling into a dreamless sleep. not much time had passed when she felt a warm and gentle hand touch her check. she slowly opened her eyes. seeing a bright glow in front if her. a ghostly figured hovered above her. it was a woman. she smiled a warm smile at her.

"whats going on here?"

"don't worry child l'll try my best to make sure she wont hurt you."

"who are you?"

"l am one of the many people who have been killed by this woman. lm one of her many maids that worked at her house for a short period of time before we became trapped in this house."

"what does she do to you?"

"after our souls leave our bodies we can not escape, we are forever trapped in this house and so are our bodies, we can not move on because our bodies will never be found."

"what does she do to your souls?"

"she uses us. she takes our souls and puts it in her body so we will take away the pain."

"pain? what pain?"

"l will soon be next and after that many more people we will remain trapped untill our bodies our found and the house is destroyed." then she looked at Masako with sweet eyes.

"don't worry child l will try my best to make sure she won't harm you. try your best to stay strong." and she was gone. Masako found herself feeling better from all this. she closed her eyes again.


Mai had trouble falling asleep. she kept thinking about everything that had happened. all the new's about who she really was buzzed in her head like an unstoping game. blurry, fogy memories appeared in her head. she had finally drifted of to sleep when she was finally awaken when Ayako barged into the room. she looked frightened, and worried. Mai suddenly jumped out of her bed.

"Masako, l can't find her anywhere." her voice was in shock and she looked to be freaking out. Mai quickly put on a pair of clean cloths and quickly followed Ayako out the room and to the base. when they walked inside everyone turned to look at them worried. Naru turned back to the camera's.

"the camera's don't seem to show any photage of Masako walking in the halls." he said. then his attention grew to one of the camera's and he looked up at it closely.

"Mai what are you doing in that room talking to that woman?" he said pointing to the camera with her in the tea room talking with Manika. Mai swallowed the lump in her throat as she remembered that they did put a camera in there.

"turn up the volume." said Naru. lin did as he was told. when he did turn up the volume you couldn't hear anything except static. everyone then turned to look at Mai.

"Mai mind telling us what you were doing with her that night Masako mysteriously dissaoared." Mai felt all eyes on her. she felt nevuse and frightened. why should she? she didn't do anything wrong, only went to talk with Manika alone without Naru's promotion. it was her right too. she needed to find out more about this house and maby about herself in the process. still she needed to tell something or they will thing that she may have been involved with Masoka's dissaperince. then John spoke up and saved Mai from having to explain herself.

"Naru, what have you been doing yesterday at night? when l was went down stares to get a drink of water l saw you sitting on the couch in the living room alone. what where you doing?" all eyes turned back to Naru and Naru just stared at Mai without saying a word. then he just walked out the room.

"wait." said monk. but Naru was out the door. Mai followed right after him. the door was shut right behind her.

"l can't belive it." said Naru turning to Mai.

"l can't belive that this happened."

"yea, l know it happened when we were down stares." she said looking down sounding upset.

"if only l knew, if only l had the slightest clue. then l could have stopped it from happening." he looked at her for a seconde before he said this.

"l wish l wasn't with you at that time." he said without even thinking it though what he just said. those words were like an arrow to her heart. it stung her in many ways then one.

"so what you saying." she said her head down and her hands were turning into fists.

"you wished that you never came to save me, that you would rather save Masako." she felt her voice rising.

"no, that not what l ment."

"course who would want to save plain old Mai, the girl who's always getting into trouble. you would be better off without me if l wasn't around." she shouted her eyes blazing in anger. then her voice came to low talk.

"course Masako she's the important one in the group. the one who can sence ghosts. the one who's more prttier and more useful then me. ofcourse you would choose her over me."

"Mai just listen."

"just stop pretending." tears appeared and fell to the floor. Naru said that.

"just say that you love her." she suddenly raised her head. her eyes red and puffy and tears ran down.

"l'll show you." she said.

"l'll get Masako back and show you that lm not so worthless as you may think l am." she said before she ran down the dark hall, leaving Naru regretting everything he had said. when he came into the room. everyone looked like they were doing their own business, but Naru knew that they were hunched up agenced the door listening to his conversation with Mai.

"everyone lets get back to work. we need to find out what happened to Masako this is our top priority." he said in a cold deep voice. everyone nodded and turned back to their assignments.
