"ow, i have such a bad headache. Its like something has been kicking my brain a million times without stopping." This pain is unreal.. maybe im just being dramatic, ill just go down stairs and get something for my head. I walk down the cold dark hallway and walk down to the kitchen. "hey mom, do we have any medicine, i have a headache," i groaned. "yeah we do let me get you some orange juice with that!" announced my mother. "Mom its okay, i can get it myself i was just asking if we had any." you see, apparently i had a twin sister when i was in my mothers stomach however, she did died a few days after she was born. It was very traumatic for my mother. Not only did that happen, but she also experienced the loss of my older brother about a year ago. He passed away from brain cancer. Now, everttime i get a little sick my mother rushes to take care of me. I dont blame her for doing so, but i would appreciate if she would let me do things as well. "here you go hiroaki, make sure to take some when you come home from school, okay?" My mother said with a concerned look on her face. "mom its okay, its just a headache, i promise i will be fine" I replied. "I know, i just dont want- you're not gonna loose me i promise that." My mother smiles and pats my head and then leaves for work.


I realized that i was running late from school and that i needed to get ready. I sprinted up the stairs and ran into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I then combed my straight brown hair and pushed it back. I put on my uniform and sprinted to the bus.


When i got to school everything seemed normal except we had an assembly for some odd reason. It was odd because we never have assembly's, especially in the beginning of the year. As i was walking to the gym, i heard people around me showing each other something on their phones, and whispering. even a few people were crying. I walked into the gymnasium and sat down on the cold hard chairs that the staff set out for us. After waiting in the gym for about 10-15 minutes, the principle comes out and shares with us some shocking news. "Good morning students, as of this morning, two students from our school have passed away, and 1 staff member has also passed away due to murder. This murder is a big threat to not only you guys, but to everyone else in Hiroshima. So far, 150 people have been reported dead or missing. Nobody knows who this man is. Recently, 4 people in a neighborhood only 3 miles from this school, have been reported missing, and 5 people were dead. The police don't have any leads on this murderer, and who they might be. We called you all in here to warn you about the dangers going on in this city right now. We deiced has a whole, to shut down the school for the safety of ourselves, and our students. Today will be your last day at this school until further notice. May god be with you all."


I was in complete shock when i heard this. I wasn't on my phone all day because my head hurt. I knew some people were dying, but i never looked into it. Turns out, people are dying left and right. What about my mother? Will she even make it home safe? I started to feel water coming from my eyes. Everyone else was in complete panic when they heard that its gotten so bad that we need to shut down school. I started to panic with them. How was i supposed to finish the rest of the day? i cant.. i need to get to my moms work to make sure shes okay. My mother always has her phone off at work, so i need to get there as soon as possible. My mind started to flood with thoughts. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. Why am i so worried? A murder would not kill my mom right? Ugh, i need to leave this school now. Im going insane. I can bare to thing of me loosing my mother. all of a sudden my legs started to run. I ran past the crowed of people trying to leave the gym and headed straight twords the exit. I didn't even deside what i was gonna do yet, but my legs just started running by itself? I had know time to think. I knew exactly where my mom worked, and i was going to make sure that she was okay. She couldnt even be injured? she could be perfectly fine for all i know, but something in my mind is telling me that something bad is going to happen, and i need to stop it.


I ran out of the school. It got very cold and windy. That didn't stop me from running. I felt my hands starting to go numb from how cold it was. I ended up having to run into traffic to get to my destination. I ran into the middle of the street trying to make my way to the nearest side walk. A red corvette came straight twords me. The car was coming from the direction where i needed to go. For a single second my legs stopped and my whole body froze. I saw the car coming straight for me but for some reason i couldn't move? right when the car was about to hit me, i jumped over the car. It wasn't very long so it seemed so easy. I did long jump when i was in track in field when i was in grade 8. I guess track and field did help me after all. I landed right on my feet after jumping over the car. I started running again, something in my gut was telling me that something was going to happen to her work very soon, like about 5 minutes or so. I needed to move fast.

After about 3 minutes of running at full speed, i finally came across my moms work. As soon as i got to her work, i saw a bunch of police cars surrounding the area. My stomach sank to my feet. I started getting this really bad pain in my chest making it hard to breathe. I tried to calm myself down and try to think of what else could've happened involving the police. I couldn't think of anything else, my mind convinced me that there was a murder in that building. i immediately tried running inside her work but, a police officer stopped me. "whoa man, you need to get out of here! its a dangerous to be out here in the open like that!" A police officer shouted. "I need to make sure my mom is okay!!!" i shouted back. "look kid, we dont know if your mom is okay or not yet, nobody has raided the building, so will you please step aside until further notice. The officer said calmly. I didn't care. At that moment i took things into my own hands and ran inside the building, voiding other police officers. I made it into the building and ran up to the floor where my mother usually works. i thought that she might be in that cretin area. It was very cold and dark in that building, i could barely see. I made it up safely to the 3rd floor. The floor where my mother was working. I walked calmly, trying to make it seem like i wasn't there. i turned behind me every few seconds to make sure the intruder wasn't behind me.


After walking for about a few seconds around the third floor, i saw a dead man, with his head completely whipped out. I was horrified.. i couldn't move. it was like something was making me not move for some reason. I tried to get myself to move behind me once again, but couldn't. I was stuck. Eventually i started to move again and brought myself to go closer to the body to see what happened in a closer look. I walked two steps but then quickly turned around to see if the man was behind me. He wasn't. I took a sigh of relefe, when i started walking forward again, i saw him. The guy who killed the dead man was standing over his body. He was a big muscular guy, and he was about 6 feet and 6 inches. He started walking twords me. Once again, i couldn't move. My body was completely frozen. As the man was walking twords me, he pulled out a knife. I tried to get a closer look at the knife and it was covered in blood. Who knows how many people he killed. I couldn't move my body at all, even when i saw him coming over here with a knife i still couldn't move my body. At this point, he was towering over me. I was so small compared to him. I couldn't do much because i was only 5 feet 4 inches.. and i didn't have much body muscle. I just stood there o except my fate. He swinged his knife at me and i closed my eyes, ready for this all to be over. But all of a sudden i wasn't stabbed. I opened my eyes and saw a girl, about my age in front of me, keeping his knife from hitting me. She had long silver hair that flowed down to her lower back, and she was about the same height as me as well. She the eventually disappeared. I was so confused at first, but then she showed up behind the man who tried to stab me and pulled about a big sword. I assumed she was going to try to fight him. I felt so weak letting a girl save me. I guess that says a lot about me. All of a sudden she stabbed the man in the stomach. The man didn't even bleed. It was like her sword bounced off of him. Suddenly the man disappeared. But this time, he didn't come back. The girl had her weapon disappear in thin air and then came over to me.


"Sorry you had to see me stab someone" the girl said while trying to hold back a giggle. "well thank you for saving me i guess.." i replied. I finally got to get a good look at her face. She has big purple eyes, and she was wearing a black and red dress with tights underneath. She looked pretty strange to be completely honest. "don't worry about mom, shes over there!" The girl said with a big smile on her face. She seems to happy knowing that a bunch of people have died. She pointed me into the direction of where my mother is. I ran over to her. "MOM!! ARE YOU OKAY!!" i shouted "i had no reply. The girl cam back up to me. "Dont worry, shes alive, shes just asleep right now. She should be up in a prominently 30 minutes!" She said. "How do you know that?" i asked her. she looked at me like i was stupid and then said "brother, how do you now remember me?"
