Enjoy Chapter 5! :)**
Chapter 5: Unexpected Guests, A Hiro Falls
Hiro was sitting at the 'Altar of Knowledge' again. She was now on page twenty.
She was really distracted, because Shisuta had been moping all day.
"Shisuta, what's going on? Like, I know something's going on, and no one's spit it out yet! So what's up!?"
"Hiro, not now." She said. "Just keep reading."
"If not now? Then when!?" She yelled.
"Because I'm getting sick of everyone treating me-!"
"Like a child!?" She snapped. "Well, you are a child! So stop trying to act like a teenager!"
She stopped, but it was too late. Hiro had already heard her
"Hiro... I-"
"Oh, just CAN IT!" She yelled, tears spilling from her eyes.
"I thought maybe you could understand how I feel! You were lonely too... Well, look where I was WRONG!"
She ran out of the room.
Dad's always working.
Mom's working too.
None of them stop and look at me...
...All Karo cares about is Shisuta, and Haruka only cares about Karo!
Shisuta doesn't understand! None of them do!
I bet dad doesn't know that I can do algebra equations... He just harps me about my speech.
Doesn't know I can play chess.
Doesn't know I can pick locks.
Doesn't know about my demons!
Doesn't know I can see ghosts!
Doesn't know about Eiji!
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ME!
...He... He never takes the time...
She stopped at a pillar near the front door, and sobbed.
Eiji showed up.
"Hiro! There you are, I...Hiro...? What's wrong?"
She shook her head, and was about to speak, when a knock sounded on the door.
She dried her eyes. "Hold on."
Why was someone knocking on the front door? It was an open resort, and anyone could come in.
She opened the door. "You can come in, you kn..."
She froze.
There were two red glowing monsters at the door.
One laughed. "Glad we have your permission! Say, is there room for ninety eight more of us!?"
She stuttered. "I-I-I'm sorry, b-but groups that large requ-quire a-!"
A flash of light filled the room.
"Hiro! Run!" Eiji yelled.
She ran. She hoped that Eiji could handle them, but she had never been so scared in her life!
She saw her parents walking into the lobby.
"M-MOM! DAD!"
They looked over at her.
"Hiro!? What's-!?"
She grabbed both of their hands, and ran toward the stairs.
"Just RUN! DON'T GO IN THERE!"
Kuhn stopped her.
"Hiro. I need you to calm down, and go upstairs. Find Shisuta and the others, and tell them what's going on."
She began to cry. "But... You can't fight them! They'll destroy you!"
He wrapped her in a hug stroking her hair, Linn did the same.
"Hiro, we'll be okay." She said. "We'll deal with them, and we'll be right behind you."
They heard a crash, as the beasts drew nearer.
They pushed her into the stairwell.
"Run! We'll be right behind you!" Kuhn yelled.
She picked herself up, and ran.
She ran into Shisuta half way up.
"Sh-Shisuta! Monsters! Monsters in the lobby!"
Her eyes went wide. "I'll let the others know! You go back to the room with my Altar. There's a secret compartment under the desk that I'm sure you'll fit in. Pull the thread, and close the door behind you!"
She ran to find the others.
Hiro ran into the room with her Altar in it. She looked under the desk and found her secret compartment.
Then she heard the windows break, and stood. There were more of those monsters in the room.
Hiro couldn't hide now, because the worst spot to keep your king open for attack, was in a corner.
It was like a real life chess game. Yes, that's it.
Except she was the only piece on her side, and there were 100 more on the other side.
No sweat. She just needed to think.
At that moment, the world seemed to stop.
The side of the room with windows, and the desk, are both off limits. If I run right out of the room, I have to find a way to lose them fast, or they'll catch me for sure.
The shadows were they're domain, so think of it like being a bishop piece on a white square.
Judging from the angle of the window, they're all out front, besides the two that are here. If I can lose these guys, I could make a break for the other side...
But the only way I can do that without revealing myself is through a back window.
I'm high up, so I have to climb down.
It's a risky card, but it's the only one I've got.
She ran toward the back, the creatures close behind her.
She feigned an attempt to escape through a room, and they fell for it.
They slipped in front of her, and attempted a blow.
She slammed the door and jumped as she saw claws slice through it.
This door's locks had been under repair, because it could only be locked and unlocked from the outside. This means it was also vacant, and a good way to buy some time.
She ran to the back window and lifted it.
She stepped on the ledge, and her heart began to pound as she clutched to the back wall for dear life. She could see the fog on the ground below her, and felt the wind shaking her balance.
That was a long way to fall.
She crouched on the ledge, and attempted to grab hold of some thicker ivy below her.
The creatures burst through the door, and in order to hide...
...She fell.
What was she thinking? Well, she didn't know. She wasn't thinking.
The world seemed to moving more slowly... and everything became bright.
I remember when I saw dad training with his kunai knives when I was little... I was so amazed, even though he was just being a show off...
Mom... She makes the best Lo Mein in the entire resort. It's even better than Karo's, though he complains less... Maybe that's why dad always debated with her, because she's so easy to mess with...
"Hiro!? No!"
Maybe... Maybe I should have just asked them...
"Hiro!"
I'm sure they would have loved playing chess with me...
"HIRO!"
something tackled her in mid air, and the world went fast again.
Hiro flew across the grass, eventually skidding across the ground, and running into a hard wooden surface.
She heard a crack, but she feel any evident breaks. That was probably going to leave a nasty bruise though.
She looked down, and saw Eiji...
...It was Eiji.
Eiji... Eiji, in the flesh!
What!?
He was unconscious, his eyes fluttering.
She shook him with her right arm. "Eiji!? Eiji, wake up!"
He sat up, grabbing his head. "Oww... What is this...? What's happening?"
"I... I don't know. What are you doing here? Aren't you an angel or something?"
His eyes went wide, and he began to stare at his hands.
"I... I'm... Alive? No, this isn't... THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!"
Kahn's words started running through his head.
"You could get stuck here..."
No.
"Stuck, Eiji..."
No... It's not... I couldn't be...
"Stuck... unable to go home..."
"Th-Th- THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" He yelled.
Hiro looked at him, a complete mess...
This is all my fault!
You idiot! Hiro, you shouldn't have fallen!
...I should have been smarter.
She began to cry. "I'm sorry... Eiji, I'm sorry!"
He looked at her, and saw her arm...
How could she not feel that!?
If that bump on the head hurt that much, how can she not...?
She looked down, and saw it. Her arm was completely mangled.
A bone in her elbow had stretched out so far, it stretched the skin at least four inches.
Her eyes went wide, and seemed to glass over.
She started screaming, then curled up on the ground, and started shaking.
"M-My arm... My arm... Eiji... EIJI! MY ARM!"
He had no idea what to do...
...He had no healing abilities anymore, and had never dreamed of this current situation.
They couldn't go back to the resort yet, because there were still Leviathans everywhere.
That's right, they had to move away from the resort. They could be found if they stayed here, and Hiro couldn't defend herself right now.
He lifted her up.
She let out a painful yelp, and started to sob.
"I'm sorry Hiro..." He said. "I know it hurts, but we have to go."
He ran with her, and carried her away from the gardens. They were off of the resort grounds, but he stopped when he couldn't see the roof anymore.
He set her down.
She was hyperventilating, and he could tell she was scared.
I wonder if I can still use that spell father showed me...? Maybe...
"Hiro, look me in the eyes..." He said.
He turned her face toward his, and her eyes focused.
Her breathing slowed, and she looked at me.
She was still crying.
"Eiji... My arm hurts... It really hurts!"
He couldn't help her with the pain. His eyes teared up.
Eiji had never felt so hopeless.
"I can't stop the pain... I'm sorry Hiro... I-"
"Well hello children!" Said a voice.
Two heavily armed men stood above them, mocking grin's and malice filled their expressions.
"I'm afraid you're going to have to come with us."
