The Tape

Chap 0

I finally give you my rewritten version of The Tape. I've thought a very long time about how I want to go with this story and got so many ideas and inspirations that I for a time didn't know where I wanted this one to go. I'm still not 100% sure of how future chaps will turn out but I hope this idea I have will be enough to finish it. I wouldn't want to start over once more and I guess you don't want me to rewritte it once more either!

So enjoy yourself!

Oh one more thing, I might change the title of the book in the future. I'm only calling it The Tape at the moment!
-

''What is your name, young one?''

A red color. Most often related to blood. A thick liquid which is said to be the devil's own tears.

'My name is Toshiki, ma'am.''

''What do you like to do, young Toshiki?''

An unpleasant loud scream which could function as the dead's way into our world of the living. A scream that get the hair on your body to rise from the ashes.

''I like to play football. I do that during the weeks. I also like to play with my friends, however, my closest's friends are Miwa and Enma. We play together all the time but, Enma only likes to play with me. He doesn't like other people.''

''Who is Enma, Toshiki?''

A silent plea heard by deaf ears of a promise long forgotten. If it had been heard, fate may have taken a brighter way.

''Enma is my friend, ma'am.''

''Can you tell me about him?''

''Please!! You have to save them!!''

"We are doing everything we can miss!"

''Um, he is a little shy and he loves to play games. Especially hide and seek! Whenever I am in school or busy he usually disappears and doesn't come back for a while. He is also very protective and always comforts me whenever I am sad or upset.''

''Enma sounds like a really nice person.''

''Yes! I like him very much!''

A bond is created between two inviduals. As they say, your loved ones will always be by your side. In this matter, those words are taken to heart.

''Toshiki, may I speak with Enma?''

''..He doesn't want to speak with you."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know. He wont tell."

"Is he here now?"

"No. He said he had to leave."

"We have found them miss!"

A cry of.. happiness? Relief? A cry mixed with the feeling of both happiness and relief could be heard in the surroundings. Something wet, like a rain drop, travel down flesh in a never ending wave.

"It seems like Enma knows why I am here. Young Toshiki, do you know why I am here?"

"No I don't know. Why are you here ma'am?"

"Your parents asked me to come. They told me you had met someone that doesn't exist."

"But Enma does exist! I talk with him everyday!"

"Do you know what possession is, young one?"

"Possession? Is it that phenomenon in movies when bad spirits use humans bodies to come back to our world?"

"Yes you are correct. I'm surprised you know of this."

"Father and I watch scary movies together, however mother doesn't like when we do. What does that have to do with Enma?"

The cry of happiness from before changed from a cry to laughter but soon took it's roots as a horrified scream.

"I am here to separate you and Enma. Enma is bad for a seven year old boy like you."

"Enma isn't bad!"

"Things that doesn't exist can be dangerous. You can't play with dangerous things Toshiki."

"I told you! Enma isn't bad! Just different!"

"Toshiki, you have to say goodbye."

"No, I don't want to!"

A silent goodbye is all there is left. And of course the promise which is now forgotten in time.

A/n
It has taken me hours to come up with this small prologue so I really hope you enjoyed it all!
Please bear in mind that chapters for this book might take some time to do. It depends on if the story goes as planned or if my inspiration stays!

Until next chap!
