When I arrived back, Atsuko was sat in with two people. I didn't realise, but blood was dripping down my back. Especially since I pulled the knife out.
"This is Minako and Yoshiki. They said they know you so I let them in" said Atsuko.
"Yeah I know them. They're from the village" I replied.
"Are you ok?" Asked Atsuko.
She noticed that I was looking weak.
"No" I said.
She ran over and caught me as I began to fall.
"You idiot! Why did you go out when there is a killer about!" She shouted while crying at the same time.
"I'll call an ambulance" said Minako.
Yoshiki got a cloth to cover the wound with.
"That's a stab wound" said Yoshiki.
"Quite deep by the look of it" she continued.
The ambulance came eventually. I could barely keep my eyes open, my strength was slowly and painfully disappearing.
I don't remember much, apart from waking up in hospital with Atsuko, Minoko and Yoshiki beside me.
"Good you're awake" said Atsuko.
"What happened?" She asked.
"I got stabbed while in the park" I replied.
"The stabbing isn't what's important right now" said a doctor who was stood by the door.
"Now, I want you to answer these questions truthfully" he continued.
I nodded. Confused, I just sat and waited.
"This is important, if you don't tell the truth it could be serious. Please answer with 100% truth" he said.
'Yeah I get it' I said in my head.
"Do you hear/see things that others can't?" He asked.
For some reason I couldn't control my speech, it was as if I was a different person.
"Yes. Both" I replied.
"What do they say?" He asked.
"Kill. You need to kill. Release the anger, that's what killed them. They all died because of hatred" I replied.
He seemed surprised to my response.
"Do you listen to them?"
"Yes"
"Do you do what they say?"
"Yes"
By now, I was practically killing myself for saying that. I'll most certainly be getting caught now. The doctor walked out of the room. Atsuko leaned over and hugged me, despite what I had said.
"No matter what happens, I'm here for you" she said.
I looked at her. She sat on the side of the bed and held my hand. I turned and looked at the clock on the wall, the numbers were disorientated and had a ghastly aura to them. I felt on edge and couldn't settle.
"What's up?" Asked Atsuko.
I was looking around frantically.
"The spirits! They're everywhere!" I replied.
It was true, dark shadows were closing in on me from the walls, only I could see them. She ran out of the room to call a doctor in. Minako and Yoshiki sat nervously. They'd never seen me in this state before, neither had I. A doctor came running in. He just stood there, not knowing what to do. By know one of the shadowy creatures were crawling up my back. I sat, unable to move.
