Eyeless Splatter: Sequel to BloodSplatter

Chapter 23-Torture

Guess who's back?!?!? Yup me!!! I got my phone back but technically I'm still grounded. Anyways, here's the next chapter!!

~~~~Helen (BOOM DIDNT SEE THAT COMING DID YA?!)

  Manami has been acting real strange lately. Every night I find her in her bathroom drunk on the floor. It's strange. I also find blood on her. I've been asking her questions about it but she says "to keep you safe and that all you need to know". She's also been limping a lot too. Today I'm going to find out what's going on.

  Day fell and as usual, I heard hissing coming from Manami's room. I quickly open the door to see Manami chugging down a bottle of wine. She was leaning on her desk for support as she gulped it down. I also saw cuts in her body. The deeper ones were in the shape of a 'K'. The rest of the cuts deep enough to draw blood.
  She clung to the desk as she finished the bottle and smashed it on the floor. She fell down crying. I rushed to her.
  "Manami, what's going on?" I asked holding her close.
   "I-...I can't tell you. The wine isn't taking affect on me anymore. Get me more." She begged.
  "Why?" I asked.
  "It numbs the pain..." she said quietly.
  I sighed and nodded. I ran downstairs and got her another bottle. Once I gave it to her she opened it and began to chug it. I walked to the bathroom and got her bandages. I came back and she had more cuts. The glass on the floor was gone and she was in a ball on the floor bleeding onto her gray carpet. I rushed to her once agin and began to take care of her cuts.
  "Manami, what's going on? Please tell me. I can't stand seeing you like this." I begged.
  "Then sit down~" she joked drunkly.
  I sighed. "Oh yeah. Forgot that you're drunk."
  She giggled and held onto my neck as I wrapped her stomach in bandages.
  "Helen...?" She asked softly. Her face was red enough to make her face glow.
  "Yes ES?" I asked picking her up like a child.
  "If I tell you what's been going on~ will you do something for me? Well besides keep it a secret." She asked.
  "Sure. Just tell me what's been going on." I said sitting her on her bed.
  "Alright. This weird Japanese dude keeps sneaking into my room at night and torturing me. He says if I scream or tell anyone, that he'd start hurting the group." She explained in juvenile way.
  "What?! Do you know his name?!" I asked.
  "Hmmmmm...nope. I forgot it. I'm drunk remember~" she said with a giggle.
  I face palmed. "Oh yeah. Anyways, what is it you want me to do?"
  "I want you to sleep with me. I get lonely here by myself. You know I cry myself to sleep these days." She said crawling into bed.
  I sighed and laid next to her. She laid her head on my chest and fell asleep. I shrugged and let her. I saw tears coming down her face and onto my shirt as she slept. I wiped them away and fell asleep.

  The next night, I woke up to ES clinging to me. She was still asleep.
  I shook her a bit. "ES. ES wake up. Please wake up."
  She clung to me tighter and she finally opened her "eyes". She looked up at me and hugged me.
  "Helen...I-...you're ok..." she said as she cried.
  I held her tight. "I'm right here. Nothing happened to me."
  "Why are you here? When did you get in-......oh. You saw me again yesterday didn't you?" She asked softly.
  I nodded. "This time you told me what happened. Who's the guy who keeps hurting you?"
  "I can't tell you." She said sitting up and crawling out of bed.
  "Look. You don't have to tell me, for now on just sleep in someone else's room. Just look at yourself! You're covered in cuts and scars. Please." I begged.
  She sighed and nodded. "Alright. I'll just sleep with Mike tonight."
  "Good. I'll go get you something to eat." I said as I stood up and left the room.

~~~~Manami (that day)

  I got dressed for bed in my room and head toward Mike's room. I asked him if it was ok with him if I slept in his room and he said it was fine.
  I knocked on his door and I heard him say come in. I walked in to see him at his desk, in his pajamas, playing video games. I giggled.
  "You never want to get off that thing don't you?" I asked.
  He turned to me. "Nope but we should head to bed."
  I nodded. I looked at the bed a bit awkwardly. Even though I've known Mike all my life, I have never slept in the same bed as him. "Do you want the left or the right side?"
  "Just get in bed." He smiled.
  I shrugged and did as told. I crawled into bed and he crawled into bed next to me. I hugged him tight and I felt him hug back. I looked up and him to see that he was asleep. I giggled and laid my head down on his chest. I closed my eyes with a smile. Kagekao won't get me in here. If he does then he'll wake Mike and Mike will get help or fight him with me.
  I smiled a bit more at that thought. I felt safer in here with him.
  Suddenly, I heard a footstep in the room. I opened my eyes to see Kagekao looking at me from the edge of the bed with a glare that hit me like a bullet, striking fear in me as if he was my grandpa when he's angry.
