I do not own Ghost hunt ^.^
Mai laid on the couch, ignoring whatever was coming out of the other's mouths. Naru had told her specifically not to go to the third floor, and to go home. Why would he not only continue the case, but also go to the place he warned her of. She had to get away from here, and get to Naru. She had to get him off of that floor.
"I have to go to the bathroom."
"Okay, I will take you. Will you be alright by yourself Masako?"
Masako nodded, and stared deeply at Mai as Ayako helped her off the couch and walked her into the bathroom. Mai walked as slowly as she could, trying to figure out how to escape Ayako. As they were walking past the hall, the elevator opened and the owner walked out, and walked straight to Ayako.
"Hello, I was wondering if you have found anything new."
Mai saw the elevator door begin to close and took the chance. She ran ignoring the protests of Ayako and managed to slip in right as they closed.
"Mai! Get out!" Ayako screamed banging her fist on the door, but Mai had already the button and was making her way to Naru, her gut feeling with dread the closer the elevator got to the floor.
Oliver's P.o.v
I opened the first door on the third floor and found it void of anything. No bed, no window, nothing. It's as if it wasn't even a bedroom.
"Lin."
"This is used as a storage room. Yashura said the owner told him the left corner of the room was unstable, so he didn't want to use it in risk of someone getting hurt."
"If it is a storage room," I said, "Why is he storing nothing in it? It seems a little str….."
I was interrupted by the sound of Lin's phone ringing, "Yes?"
I stared at Lin's face as a frown took over, "Understood." And then he closed the phone, "Taniyama-san is missing. They said she took off running and jumped into the elevator. They have no clue where she is.
I turned around and opened the door, "She will be on this floor. I am certain."
Lin didn't question me, instead he followed me and we walked over to the elevator. I pushed the button to open it, but it was already empty. I looked down the hallway and saw a total of 12 rooms to my left, and 4 to my right.
"She will be here, we just…"
"NARU! LIN! SOMBODY!"
I took off running towards Mai's voice, panicking. She had sounded like she was coming from the end of the hall, and in pain. I reached the end of the hall and threw open the first door finding nothing. Second, nothing. Third, nothing. Where the hell is she?
"Oliver look!" I turned around and saw Mai at the other end of the hall, being pressed up against the wall reaching at her neck trying to free herself from whatever it was holding her there.
"Mai!" I shouted frozen in fear for a second before I began to run towards her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Lin and I stopped at the same time, but I picked up running after a second, determined to get to Mai. I was barley a few steps away when cuts slashed into Mai's arms and legs, then one at her neck. Her eyes went dark, then she hit the floor. Blood poured out, and Lin got to her first checking her pulse.
"Oliver, I can't find it!"
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
"Call an ambulance now!" I shouted getting on the floor giving her CPR. She had to be okay. She had to live. I wasn't losing someone else. I couldn't lose someone else.
"Mai please…" I whispered continuing.
I don't know how long I was there but soon two men were picking her up as Lin moved me back. They placed her on a stretcher and took off with her. I stared not moving. The rest of the group, who had managed to come up here without my notice slowly walked and got into the elevator together.
"Naru, are you coming?" The monk asked me, but I merely turned away and shook my head.
Mai wasn't breathing the entire time I was giving her CpR.
I couldn't feel her heart at all.
Mai was gone.
I failed again.
Authors Note: Sorry so short I just felt like a cliffy today. I will try to update later today or tomorrow. This isn't the end of the case, and I'm almost positive that I'm going to do another case after this. I wanted to say thanks to Naruisawesome & 14Amychan. I'm still new and you guys are making me really want to contine even if it is for only you two. ^.^
