Chapter Fifteen

:P (TW: GORE, POLICE) I was bored so I decided to throw a little bit of mystery in here! hope thats ok lol

Umeji POV

Once Shin closed the door, the chilly air hit my face. I got really cold and quickly ran back to my house and opened the door. I went to my room to brush my teeth, shower, then go to bed. It took me a while to go to sleep but I eventually did. I woke up at 5 am for no apparent reason. I got up to get some milk when I heard a very large pot fall over. I whipped my head toward the noise and flicked on the lights.

Nothing. 

I checked all around the house.

Nothing.

I thought I was hallucinating and then continued to get my glass of milk when it happened again. This time the lights flickered, then turned off. 

"What the hell" I whispered to myself. I brushed it of since our house was a very old one and went to turn the lights back on. The light switch was cold, like no one had ever touched it in a million years. Despite it being cold as hell I flicked it back on. The lights came back on, thankfully. Then one of the cabinets, that has a lock on it, opened without any issues. My hair stood on its end as I watched this happen. That cabinet, I haven't been able to open ever since we moved here so with my mom. Then one day we noticed it had a lock on it, we didn't know the code and decided to leave it alone. It was being opened in front of my eyes, flawlessly might I add. Out of curiosity I took my chance to look inside of the cabinet, a blood stained knife lay there, with a peace a flesh in some rubbing alcohol. I shivered at this sight, my hands went clammy as I put them to cover my mouth out of shock. 

"What happened here . . ." My voice is wobbly and shaky as I spoke. I completely forgot about the potential spirit showing me this. I went to the bathroom to put on some disposable gloves to look at the knife more carefully. Luckily the cabinet stayed open so I grabbed the knife with the disposable gloves on. The blood was flaky, it must have been in there for years. The knife looks to be a 10 inch knife. I put the knife back and called the cops that there was a bloody weapon here and a preserved piece of flesh. I told them all the details from when we moved here to now. I waited till they arrived, I didn't tell my mom since she faints at the sight of blood and I wanted her to have a peaceful night. I threw the gloves away and held the cabinet door open, fearing it would close. The police knocked on the door and I let them in. They walked to the open cabinet and took it out.

"You are the one who found this, correct?" One of the police officers asked. His voice was gruff but it had a hint of kindness to it.

"Correct" I responded. After that they interviewed me face to face they decided that a paranormal investigator would be beneficial to solving this since I told them about the paranormal activity that caused me to discover it. They thanked me and left with the stuff that was in the cabinet, they also suggested I tried to keep it open so if they ever need to come back it would be accusable to them. It was now 6 am and I decided to get ready for school. I walked up stairs and got ready. My mom got up to at 6 am and got ready and left to go to work before I got ready to go to school. I walked to Shins house to I could talk to him about what I had just witnessed. I mean his apart of the occult club right? He surely would have some answers. The door to his house opened.

"Oh hey! I wasn't expecting to see you here" Shin said.

"Oh yea well I have a few questions for you . . ." I told him, he nodded and listened. Once I was done explaining what I had seen he told me the many explanations to what it could be. It could be that it was a ghost that got killed and they wanted me to discover the weapon so their case would finally be solved. Or some ghost trying to be silly with me but ended up exposing a murder weapon. To me the first one made a little more sense, I mean if I was a ghost and got murdered I would want someone to discover it and try to solve it. After that we were standing in complete silence to wait for my friends. They got here and talked to me and Shin as if they didn't even know we were together. Once we got to school and got to the spot were we are always are I told them what happened this morning. Then we therioized who committed the crime, if it was a murder. We laughed and talked about. The bell rang but I wanted to talk with my friends just a bit longer. I headed to class after about 15 more minutes of talking with them and sat down. The class was really boring so I just stared at the clock, daydreaming. It felt like hours till it was finally over.

"Hey If you didn't bring any lunch . . . I packed you one" Shin said as he handed the lunch to me. 

"Thank you Shin!" I said while hugging him. I looked at his desk and those stupid words were on his desk again. Then the bullies walked in the classroom.

"Why are you two here?" Hana asked, genuinely. She wasn't rude or snarky but, curious. I was absolutely shocked at her change in demeaner. 

"Why aren't your friends here?" 

"oh well after we figured out Musme had written the f-slur on Shins desk and was being very rude towards the LGBTQIA+ community we all stopped talk to her." She said. "And I guess we are just not in the mood today to be rude. I was actually walking in here to apologize to Shin"

Well that was a shocker. Hana wanted to apologize to Shin. 

"Can I talk to him?" She asked me

"um . . . sure just don't hurt him ok." She nodded and walked up to Shin. Shin tensed up as she got closer, I'm assuming she realized this since she stopped approaching him. 

"Hey Shin I'm sorry for laughing at you . . . I hope I can make it up" While this was happening, I was questioning why in hell was she apologizing to Shin. I thought she was a cold, and heartless girl who only took joy in hurting others. I guess I was wrong because she was crying while apologizing to him. She called her self a crybaby half way through her apology, I wanted to tell her she wasn't being one but I didn't interfere. Shin accepted her apology, then she said thank you and ran out of the classroom to the restrooms. A lot of weird things were happing today first the knife now this? (the reason why I did this is because I headcannon that she is a lesbian sooooo yea-)

Today was weird.
