Lost In Trev-lation; A Supernatural Tale

Chapter 7

Satoshi stopped his frantic searching and looked up, "Yuka..?" His eyes focused and he noticed the rest of the class, "Naomi!! Seiko! Guys! You're okay!" He ran into his friends, crying uncontrollably. Yuka was crying into his stomach, with her arms around him tight. 

"Satoshi, what happened after we got split up?! I looked for you everywhere!" Yuka threw her head back and cried. Satoshi sniffled and knelt down to her level. He half smiled, half cried as he looked his sister over.

"Oh, Yuka, I looked everywhere for you, too. I was so scared for you. I stopped at nothing. And then," he stood up and looked at all of us, "I was being shown everything. I was led to this room to find the tongues of the three victims Sachiko murdered. I know they're in here. I can feel it." 

Sam smiled at him, "I can, too. Let's help him look." Sam dug out another flashlight and handed it to Satoshi. Satoshi grinned, taking the flashlight, nodding towards Sam in appreciation. 

Yuka stayed close to Satoshi, which seemed like it kind of stung with Sam, but I knew he understood. Nothing could keep us apart; and we're grown ass men. There was just something refreshing about seeing and knowing your sibling was safe and sound. It seemed I was right about Satoshi. He seemed shaped different than what I was expecting Satoshi to be like. He was roughed up, like the rest of us, but he looked like he pushed past just a little bit more hell. Especially since he was doing it all alone. I really had to hand it to the guy, that took guts.

"Check the floorboards." Trevor offered, using his toe to find a loose spot.

"Over here!" Yoshiki yelled from the furthest corner of the class. He pulled out a small bag, inside contained three shriveled tongues.

"Oh yeah, let's put that in the same spot as Sachiko's. Don't mix em'. Don't want to piss them off more. Especially with the help they've been giving us." Once the tongues were secure, we felt the ground shake.

"Get together!" Sam rounded up the group, as I helped him cover their heads. The girls were completely covered as well as keeping Yuka covered, with the guys on the outer circle with Trevor. 

When it settled we checked to see where we were. It looked like an ordinary classroom. There were no bloods streaks, dust, cracked floorboards, or broken windows. We all spun around, the students wanted to think we were free.

"No." I spun around, "it feels to static. This isn't real."

"He-th rigggggghut." The sudden voice had us all turn and look. It was the little girl with the missing eye. I quickly fished their tongue bag out of the backpack and handed it to her. "Oh, thank you."

"Can we trust you to return the other two?" I asked her, no one else seemed to want to talk.

"Of course. They've been helping me guide you. If you can believe it. They come off as terrifying, but they don't mean it." She seemed nice enough, it was hard to get passed the missing eye.

"Why did you bring us here?" 

"I wanted to talk to you, properly. With my tongue back; I needed to explain. I've shown him," she pointed to Sammy, "and he's of decent of the king of Hell," pointing to Trevor, "so he has seen some thing himself. But no one else was meant to be hurt. We've tried to save many, but none have been as wise or as brave as this class and the three of you. Sachiko must be stopped."

"What's so special about them?" Yoshiki groaned, cutting his eyes at Sam and Trev.

"Hush, Yoshi," I turned my attention back to the girl, "what's up?"

She paused, "Sachiko's lust for revenge is still grand. If she was returned her tongue, and given her due respect. Maybe she can move on." 

I closed my eyes to catch my thoughts, "sounds easier than it looks, I'm sure. How much longer we got in here?"
