King Of Yokai [Main Erma AU]

Cycle Of Repeat

Elliot woke up in his bed again. His exhausted eyes looked at the alarm clock, which read 8:15, as usual to his first day of school. He sighs as he gets up and rubs his eyes. "Another day, another 3 years to redo." Elliot says with very little enthusiasm. He goes to the mirror, and pulls out his SOUL. His soul was unique, being half of it is upside down, the colors here sky blue and black, and there was noticeable cracks splitting down the center. Very worn out from sustaining fatal injuries from the past. He shakes his head as he puts on his tank top. "I dunno how much longer my SOUL can take this kind of stress. I could end up dying permanently one of these days." He says aloud to himself. "But I guess it wouldn't be too bad." He puts on the black hoodie Amy gave him. It was his signature look, and he wouldn't ever change it.

Elliot teleports to the living room as he inspects his house. It isn't his exactly, but it wasn't hard to steal the key to this place, and reroute electric and water to it. He guessed it was natural being highly intelligent. He grabs a rolled joint from his table and teleports outside the house. He lights and tokes on the joint as he waits for the bus. It takes till 8:33 AM before it would get here, so he always has time for a joint as he thinks about how the first day goes, and what he usually says on this day.

The bus eventually arrives and picks Elliot up. He walks over to sit with his friends, Terry, Amy, and Sylvia. Elliot notices Erma in the back of the bus. It's Erma's first day here. Elliot will always remember this day. He guessed awhile back that some way, somehow, the 'curse' started originally on this day. He thinks Osamu, Erma's grandfather, is behind this.

"Heya. How's it goin guys?" Elliot asked his friends. "Hi Elliot! You look tired, did you get enough sleep last night?" Amy asks. "Yeah right, he sleeps almost all the time!" Terry argued. "I'm fine, guys. Who is the new girl back there?" Elliot asked. "That's Erma. She just moved in recently." Amy responded. Elliot didn't know this before, but apparently, 3 houses were going up for sale on the same day, 'his' house included. Erma's family moved into this side of Blairwood recently, but were on the west side before then. Elliot took over the house only a few years ago, and Erma's family moved in last week. He doesn't know anything about the 3rd house.

"I heard she's a freak." Terry rudely says, before Sylvia smacks him on the back of his head. "Oww!" He shouts in pain, rubbing the spot that was inflicted. "You shouldn't judge someone based on a rumor! Even if it's true or not!" Sylvia scolds Terry. Elliot shrugs it off and yawns.  When the bus arrives to school, Elliot quickly goes to the cafeteria, grabbing a chocolate chip cookie bar, and a milk, before going behind a pillar to teleport to class, which didn't start for another 45 minutes. This meant it was empty, and he had time to finish his milk, and cookie bar, and take a nap.

Elliot woke up to the sound of the bell ringing. He sees the seats around him are already filled with students, and Ms. Bierly. "Class, this is the new student...Erma. Say hello, Erma." She says uneasy. Erma does a wave, but does not speak, however, Elliot speaks mute, and can understand everything she says. During class, Elliot noticed Erma drawing a flower on the chalkboard with a piece of chalk floating in the air. Elliot approaches Erma from behind.

"Heya." Erma turns to face him. The name's Elliot. What's yours?" He asks as Erma doesn't seem to respond at first, but only because Elliot is ignoring her expressions and gestures to pretend not to understand. "Just tryin to CHALK up a conversation." Elliot delivers his usual punchline. always happy to see Erma's giggle. "I'm told that laughter is a great way to break the ice." Elliot continues. Erma nods in agreement with him. Even though Elliot lives through the same 3 years over and over, his love for Erma never changed.

Wait...What did Terry say earlier???
