Inferno
Chapter 5:
A sharp pain shook my whole body; my head was aching in the darkness that I had been swallowed into. I felt dizzy and confused, unable to feel my body. Slowly I recovered the control over it, but it felt heavy. I breathed out and tried to move.
''She's waking up'' I heard a voice, and a noise of fast foot steeps coming by my side.
''Shiori, Shiori'' I heard a familiar voice calling me. I opened my eyes and closed them again, hurt by the light of the sun. ''Hey, wake up''
With a lot of effort I finally opened my eyes and discovered that I was laying on my bed, back to my dorm, in Oso Academy. I saw Reira with a worried expression looking at me.
''W-what happened?'' I asked adopting a sitting position.
''Do you really don't remember anything?'' She asked, and before I could talk she continued ''Makishima-sensei brought you here when you fainted in the afternoon, yesterday'' She explained. ''He was very kind, knowing that you were out after lights out. What were you thinking?'' She asked with a worried and angry tone.
I was unable to speak. Strange fragments of memories returned to my head slowly. Shattered memories, of her empty eyes and devilish smile, the dark basement and him…
''Are you listening to me?'' Reira said interrupting my thoughts. I turned to her and tried to smile.
''Yeah, I'm sorry for worrying you'' I apologized. ''I guess, I haven't been sleeping enough'' I lied. ''But, now I am okay''
She looked at me without believing my words, but said nothing and finally got up from the bed.
''I don't know what's in your head, but please, don't do anything stupid, Shiori'' She asked walking towards the door.
''I promise''
And without any other word, she left my bedroom. I heard her steeps go away as the silence invaded my room. She had been all night by my side...
Then her words hit me again.
You fainted… Makishima-sensei brought you here…
That… couldn't be true…right?
I laid down on my bed and looked at the roof. Then I turned my eyes to the clock that was on my night table. It was seven in the morning. I closed my eyes for a second, before getting up and walking into the shower.
I got rid of my uniform and walked towards the shower, but stopped when I saw myself reflected in the mirror. I had marks on my ankles and bruises on my belly and legs.
I repressed a little cry, placing my hands on my lips. It happened. Of course it did!
Rikako kidnapped me! Just like… just like all those other girls…
''She murdered them'' I felt the air escape my lungs. I felt my strength abandon me, as I felt to the floor on my knees.
She needed to be stopped. I needed to warn the police… But, if she was such a criminal why the psycho-pass analysis didn't reflect it?
I couldn't approach her and accuse her of such thing without any prove.
I returned to my room and looked for clean clothes that covered my bruises, and left my room. I needed to find him. He must know something.
The hallways started crowding with students that were going to their first class. I avoided them and continued walking, but then I stopped on my tracks. I stared in shock the silhouette at the end of the corridor. Her black straight hair, her beautiful purple eyes, and her gentle smile. I shivered remembering her cold touch, her empty eyes, her sadistic smile. I felt the pain and fear ran down my body, I stared at her, paralyzed.
She smiled and said something that I didn't understand, and then she left without another word.
I felt my knees fail me, and I had to look for the support of the wall. I ignored the weird looks of the other students, and walked away, as far as I could.
I ended up in a lonely hallway. I rested my back against the wall. What was I supposed to do?
I needed to avoid Rikako. And find him...but, where?
I went to the library, but he wasn't there, I asked in the teacher's room, I walked down and up every hallway. He was nowhere to be seen. I was planning on returning to my room, when I heard foot steeps behind me. I turned slowly.
''I heard you were looking for me'' His velvet and soft voice talked.
''Makishima-sensei'' I acknowledge him.
''How are you feeling?'' He asked. I separated my lips to talk but found myself unable to say anything. He took some steps closer and placed his hand on my forehead. ''I see your fever lowered''
''W-what fever?'' I whispered confused.
''Last night, you went in shock and started having a fever, your body suddenly felt weak, and that's why you passed out'' He said with no lie in his eyes.
''That's…''
''We shouldn't talk in a place like this'' He interrupted me suddenly. ''And you should be in your class, am I right?''
''Yeah, I guess'' I replied confused and not trusting his gentle smile anymore. He bowed slightly and guided me down the hallway to an empty classroom. Then I turned to him. He had his grin on.
''I guess you'll have your own questions'' He said then. ''Here it's safe''
''Questions?'' I asked closing my hand into a fist. ''She tried to kill me! How the hell this happens in a place like this? And why aren't her psycho levels rising?''
''There's not a safe place in this world, not even this school, away from reality'' He said calmly. ''And her psycho levels are quite high''
''How do you know that?'' I asked him. He just smile. ''Did you…?''
But then the door opened and a student girl barged in. She had short dark hair and sharp eyes.
''Makishima, we are in trouble'' She said, and then I could see her silhouette starting to change. It transformed into a tall man with light brown hair and even sharper eyes.
''What's the matter?'' Makishima asked unaffected by the sudden transformation.
''They are here'' He replied.
''Oh'' Makishima mumbled amused.
''We must leave'' Hurried to say the other man, but with a calm façade.
''Leave? Where? What is going on?'' I interrupted them, starting to panick. What was going on?
''Her?'' Ask then the man.
''Yes, we are taking her with us'' Makishima smiled.
''What? No way! You are not taking me anywhere'' I said stepping back, in an attempt to leave.
''I'm sorry, but I can't allow to leave any evidence of my existence behind'' He said. ''This is also to protect you, this place won't be safe for anyone who met me, once the dogs get in here'' He said taking a step forward. ''Sorry, Shiori''
And before I could say anything or move an inch, everything turned black.
Pitch black.
To be continued...
Hahaha, I hope you have enjoyed the chapter! I initally wrote something different but after re-reading it, I decided to include Makishima's scene to make it more interesting and add more suspense and interaction with Shiori. So, I really Hope you liked it!
As always, feel free to share your opinions via PM or review, and I'll be really grateful and happy if you do so! ^^ I really appreciate the support guys, so thanks once more!
I'll try to update as soon as I finish the next chapter!
See you around!~
