Her

Chapter one: Office

   Chapter 1 : Office

As the sound of the keys clicking finished, Takahushi closed the lid of her laptop with a long sigh. She had a long day. Exhausted, she went to find her woolly coat, but to her surprise it wasn't there! Annoyed, she told herself, " I just need a fucking break!" As she scoured the floor, a shiny key at the corner of her eye caught her attention. Ignoring it, she looked for a while longer, finding it near the back office. Relieved she picked it up and obviously she couldn't ignore it. The key. She picked it up and chucked it in the air, catching it. She tried most of the doors but only one worked. The revolting scent filled her nose. She stood flat on the spot. Hair swaying side to side she read. "Subject 8768". "Eeew!" She left that instant. She got on her boat home and saw it. Was it a whale? Her eyes fluttered shut as she fell backwards. 

"Ow!" She exclaimed , as she rubbed the back of her head, looking around in confusion. "What is this place?" she wondered. Unbothered, she wiped the sleep from her eyes and stood up. Her eyes drifted to the wall. The colour ran from her face. It was blood. Blood on the wall. It was smeared into a sentence. "Find the book. Rooms with Shimenawas will protect you from HER." She read aloud. Slightly alarmed, she set off out of the room. Takahushi's heart was beating fast, why? She spun her head around. There it is. It's HER. She felt like she was running for her life. Maybe she was. She turned corners .Left. Right. Left. Right. Her mind was spinning in circles. She had made it. It was the book, it was there. Her interest peaked. She dashed to the book, flipping the first page.

"The tale of Futakuchi-onna"

"Two sisters lived in poverty. They often starved themselves. One day Mio, (the younger one). Came home in joy and it continued for many months. Rin suddenly thought that her sister was eating well without her. Driven by jealousy, she killed and consumed her own sister, and that's when she found the money in her pouch. She realised that Mio was saving money for the both of them. The realisation gained Rin extreme guilt over her actions. This guilt stuck with her throughout the years and it got so severe that Mio's mouth popped out of the back of Rin's head. If Rin didn't eat, she would experience utmost agony." "What...?" she muttered. She was utterly disgusted. Takahushis face went pale in horror and she walked away, tumbling backwards over a loose floorboard , grounding herself. She took some time to process but she relaxed herself and moved on. Again, she turned her head to the wall, looking slightly alarmed that it was smeared in blood but she was used to this now. "Don't get caught by or else '' what could this possibly mean?
