Don't you just love fast updates? Anyway, Chapter 4 is out, so take your time reading it. I took the last few days to create Chapter 2. Though, the last few chapters (from 2-4) were actually suppose to be Chapter 2. I thought I'd just break down the stories, so it doesn't look too long. So, here it is.

This is one of my own stories that was originally created by me. Though, I didn't exactly know which genre to but this story as, I had to move some bits here and there to make it alike (well, sort of like) Elfen Lied. Some of the characters are mine, whereas the original creator is Lynn Okamoto. (I'm just the creator of the story.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Elfen Lied. In fact, Lynn Okamoto is the original creator of Elfen Lied. I'm just the creator of this story.

Recap: Chapter 3 (Understanding)

"C'mon, cheer up, Nyu-chan. I don't exactly want to go myself. I'd rather walk with you. However, Yuka already made plans to take me with her to meet her parents. Gomen nasai, Nyu-chan." Kohta's tone seemed regretful that he couldn't get to walk with his beloved friend, Nyu. He blushed at the last thought, thinking that it didn't come out of his mouth. The words he said weren't supposed to turn out the way it did. However, the way he said, "I'd rather walk with you" seemed much more sincere towards Nyu. Her emotions changed in an instant, creating an awkward moment for the two of them. Nyu was much shocked with Kohta from the way he said those words in affection, and sincere. A pink-ish red appeared on her pale soft face, blushing like she had done something embarrassing. Her heart started beating quickly, thumping inside her like a drum. Nyu started to panic.

A Beginning of a Horror
Chapter Four

The door slid open, stepping into the classroom was the one and only girl who came in panting with her head bowed down, and her arm on the door that slid open. She left her free arm out, and crouched her back forward, so that she could reach her free hand onto her knee, panting enough for her reach her breath.

"Nyu-chan! Seen my bracelet? I lost it somewhere, and I don't remember where I last put it." Mariko ran up to Nyu, sobbing her tears out in front of Nyu, and letting her pale white face turn all cherry pink with tears on her face.

"Huh? Oh, uh," Nyu huffed each pauses, trying to inhale the air around her.

Mariko Hino. She is age 15, and her birthday is on November 4th. She looks very young about the age of 9, and is also short. She's thin, but short, and has an amazing voice. Her vocal voice sounds angelic, and performs in every talent show. Although she looks like a young female student, she has excellent vocals when it comes to singing, but isn't very good at physical exercises. Mariko Hino is quite popular with everyone with her vocals, social interaction, and even simple knowledge. She's pretty average when it comes to understanding the texts in class, but fails at anything physical. Mariko has light brunette hair, layered down her shoulders. Her fringe pinned with a bobby pin on the top of her head, and wears not a lot of make-up.

"Didn't you leave it in the bathroom or something?" Nyu answered after gulping in lung full or airs. She walked over to her desk all the way near the window, and then sat down, as Mariko followed Nyu right behind her.

"I don't know. I probably did. But, but…" Mariko responds with a sniff, standing right next to Nyu's desk. She watched Nyu lay her hand on her cheek in one side, looking all bored, then stared at the rain pouring heavily onto the window. Her eyes seemed fearful with the hard rain and the gust of wind rushing outside the window.

"But…?" Nyu cornered her eye at Mariko, keeping her position still. Mariko faced her head and stared at Nyu.

"But I'm scared. Want to go with me and search around?" Mariko sobbed once more, hoping Nyu would come with her. Before Nyu could say something, Mariko wiped her tears off her face and began explaining.

"The school's huge. I can't look by myself. And if I search for it tomorrow, I'm afraid it'll be stolen! It's not just some bracelet that can be replaced by 'us' rich people. It was a gift from my Prince. Well, no. He's not exactly my Prince, but we were always together. We were 7 when we met each other. Anyway, my point is, this school is big, and it's an elite High School. Things can be lost easily. Also, the bracelet is a precious memento from my Prince. He promised me he'd meet me near Christmas, coming up this year." Mariko said in her sweetest tone, dreaming in her world about her Prince coming to meet her near Christmas Eve, this year.

"Okay, okay. I'll look for it with you." Nyu said in a defeated tone. She didn't like the feeling she was getting. A feeling that was returning from the one that made her feel all heavy inside. – The pain of the weight returns to her.

"Alright everyone. Please take your seats and let's start out lesson now." Sawako walked into the room, dropping her books onto her desk. The loud 'bang' noise landed with an echo inside everyone's ears, as they returned to their original desks. The lesson began with a boring lecture on English, with Sawako-sensei. Rain splattered onto the window, making tapping sounds on the class window. Gusts of wind made a 'whooshing' sound outside. Everything seemed pretty intense.

"Nyu-san. Please stop gazing hopelessly out the window, unless you're willing enough to be generous to stay in after school detention." Sawako mentioned Nyu's name, which snapped her out of her thoughts, while gazing out the window. Outside the other side of the classroom was the freedom of where the rain poured with gushes of water leaking out from the water pipes.

"Oh? Gomen nasai, Sawako-sensi. I won't do it again." Nyu apologized politely, as she stood up and slightly bowed to her teacher.

"Apology accepted. Now, please don't do it again while in my class." Sawako turned her back towards the students behind her. She picked up her book and held her English text book in her hands.

"Now… please turn to page…"

Nyu fixed her eyes on her teacher, about to sit down on her desk. She felt something dragging her down like a ghostly shadow weighing her down on the ground. She felt tense while half way down her seat, and waiting for her teacher to say what page to turn to. Nyu dramatized in her thoughts, while having a cold breezy wind brushing against her frail white skin. The shivering feeling crawling up her back gave her a feeling that things weren't right. Her eyes grew wide as she saw a crack on the window above her head. She stared at it, wondering whether it was just a coincidence, or she was being chased. The crack on the window started to expand its range, on the right side of the classroom.

"Will I make it out alive?" – Nyu was thinking too much already. There was already one thing running in her mind, and that was if she was going to make it out alive. Nyu raised her arm above her head, towards her face, as if the light shown too brightly in her eyes. Nyu's teacher, Sawako, thought Nyu was exaggerating over the cold ragging weather outside, or figuring out if she was some crazy girl who needed medical attention. She was about to say something. Nyu could see her mouth open a little, until…

'Smash!' The windows broke out in rage, on the right side of the classroom. – All of it. The voices of the students screaming, and yelping for help in terror. They ducked their heads onto their desks, raising their hands above their heads for protection. Nyu gasped. She could only grasp for air, trying to inhale all the air she could get. Her eyes wide open, and her hair blowing with the flow of the gusting wind. Glasses shattered onto her head, and all over her pale weak skin. Blood trickled down the side of her head. The strong gusting winds pushed her to the ground, along with other students that sat near the right side of the classroom. Everyone in one side fell unconscious…
