Once belonged to death

Chapter 3

~you are who?!~

After the incident with that icy girl.. I haven't seen her for over a week. Right now I am out shopping for food... I can cook but I can't be bother to do so much things, so in the end, I settled for simple pot noodles. Yes. Simple and easy!

Paying for the snacks and noodles I bought, I look out the store window... it looks cold, just like that certain girl... frosty! After thanking the staff, I took my bags and walked out of the store.

My house is only a street away from the shop, it can be considered pretty convenient. However for someone who gets black outs all the time? It's no where near to me... The sudden ache at the side of my skull began its torment again... slowly crawling up to the middle of my skull as I struggle toward the last house in the right. Shaking, I search for my keys, feeling light-headed. Finally reached my keys, I clumsily unlock my door before falling forward. Just like that... everything went black.

"Took you long enough to come back!"

I feel like I'm floating, with nothing underneath or above me. I want to open my eye to see who was talking but my eye clamped shut as if superglue has been placed on my eyes. The voice sounded seductive and happy, strangely flirtatious..?

"W-who are you? Where am I?" My voice sounded like I'm panicking. But in all honesty, I was feeling flabbergasted...

"Ehh? I never knew someone could forget them-self? That's a first! Oh wait... your memories has been sealed! Oh silly me~" the man in the dark chuckled, sending slight electrocute down my spine. I don't know why I feel that but he is dangerous... perhaps not directed to me... but is still dangerous. Yet I feel comforted with his presence... like something has been filled...

"What do you mean?" I don't get it...How am I forgetting myself? I mean... I know I'm 15 years old, a boy named Tanaka... umm likes to eat macaroons? And etc.... yep! I'm still pretty much me!

Although my eyes are closed, I could still vaguely sense a stare directed to me, I'm guessing he's speechless?

"..... I... wasn't this stupid before right? Isn't this easy to figure out? Oh no wait! Your- I mean my- common sense is lacking! All right! Now this simple equation is that you equals to me! And me? Equals to you! Get it? Simple right?!" I can hear him breathing slightly heavily... this person is interesting I guess?

On the other hand.... I want to punch him. How is this simple common sense? How the hell is this even normal?! Compare to the girl who enter my house without me knowing... this is completely beyond normal!

"I'm sorry... but I'm... who? And you are... who?" I am not out of my mind... plus this is a dream... why not play along..?

"Still don't get it?! Oh my sexy Satan! I will explain it one last time before I completely give up on you-me-you know what? Forget it!"

Really..? I don't remember ever to speak like that... and there is no way in hell I will do that....

"So... you going to explain? Or just going to leave it?" Quiet... nothing was heard until a moment later.

"Fine! Last time! You! Is basically me! And I am you! As a night creature! It's almost time for you to completely awaken me... so I await for your arrival~ But I will warn you... you better hurry up before the dark hunters reach you or we might both ended up as mince meat... I'm not ready to die yet so don't you dare throw this life away! Oh... and do you want to know a secret? Our parents is still alive~"

What? How is that possible? Didn't they die in the crash? If they are still alive then why didn't they come find me?! Why was I left alone for this long?

"What the hell are you talking about?! How do you know my parents? How do know me?"

Up to this point, I'm beginning to feel scared.... I feel weak and powerless again. Like there is nothing I could do to keep the fear away...

"Time will tell... you will uncover this mystery one by one...remember what I have told you.. and be careful!"

Slowly, the dark fades away and light eagerly replace the darkness that was once present before me. Still feeling a bit dizzy, I realise that I'm no longer in my house... instead I am in a wooden shed. Groggily, I lift my head, feeling sore at the neck. Just as I did that, a voice spoke behind me...

"Hmm... so our prince is finally awake."
