FoggyTown ( omori AU )

Chapter 2.5

Mari would be pacing at her grave, her hair being long and swaying in the wind and strangely the front of her hair would form an eye but that's okay, however she would be very bored at the moment, thus she would decide to try and stand up even though she has a bad knee

Mari would make her way to her original house, passing several creatures of the mist, she knew that they were mimics that looked like people so that they can trap there pray, but this doesn't stop Mari who is now standing outside of her House's door, she can hear a conversation inside

Basil: S-so let me get this straight, almost everyone was turned into monsters or mutated in a way...... Wait why haven't you mutated or turned into a monster?

Aubrey: Because to turn into a monster you have to die to a monster, but I never understood the mutation shite either way.....

Basil: W-well I do have mutation that is obvious because of the flower growing out of my left eye and all that.....

Aubrey: My guess mutation' deal with what you mainly do, like for instance you like to tend to your plants, thus you have a bunch of plants constantly growing all over you, for me though I'm not entirely sure-

However there conversation would be interrupted by three soft knocks on the front door, Aubrey would quickly grab her fire axe and would remain silent as Basil would sit in place place with fear echoing through him as he dared not to say a word

The pale girl would knock again, gently pressing the side of her cheek onto the door

Mari: open the door Aubrey, I know you're in there

No response

Mari: I know about the mimics and the other creatures roaming around the town, but I'm not like them at all, I wouldn't dare hurt anyone for anything myself

Again no response

Mari: P-please Aubrey, or Basil just open the door, I don't want to be alone in this fog anymore, I wanna at least see my little brother again....

Basil looked at Aubrey with a confused look, usually mimics are unable to feel emotions (especially with desperation or plead anything) except for anger, so either Mari was actually standing outside of there door or somehow through someway the mimics were evolving to lure people out

Aubrey: H-how do we know that you're the real Mari then, she's been dead for four years-

Mari then sighed as she would slide down the door

Mari: Exactly, I know what happened when I feel.....

Aubrey and Basil would be at a lost for words for what she said, Aubrey would reluctantly approach the door slowly with her fire axe and opened it slowly while Basil would be armed with his usual gardening clippers, as Aubrey would be slowly opening the door she would see the mutated form of Mari but still, that meant she wasn't a mimic, thus Aubrey would immediately pull Mari into the safe house and close the door, locking it

Mari: Woah, that was a bit-

Aubrey: How the hell are ya even alive?! I seen you be lowered into the grave!

Aubrey would be holding Mari by the collar of her shirt, but Mari would show her reassuring smile as usual and Mari would explain everything to Aubrey and how she's back, with Basil listening in the background, shaking nervously.....

Mari: -And after that I woke up at my grave and was stuck there for four years, but as of recently I was able to break free from it and now I'm here

Aubrey and Basil would look at mari in confusion but just nod there head's in unison, how else were they to react to someone coming back from the dead and is now in there front room

Mari: Oh yeah, how is Kel and Hero? It's been several years since I've talked to-

Mari would notice how Aubrey went cliff-faced and Basil went entirely silent

Basil: M-mari......

Basil would trail off as he would look away from Mari, Mari soon realized what they meant as a wave of guilt would wash over her

Mari: I..... I seem to understand.

Then Mari would get up from the couch and would look at Aubrey and Basil with her same warm smile

Mari: W-well since you've already explained to me what situation that sunny is dealing with, I'll try to talk to him to the best of my abilities

And with that, Mari would walk off to talk to her little brother, after so many years, she hoped that she can see him as his usual self or what's left of it anyways...
