SAO fan-fic series: Yuuki Asuna

February 7, 2014~ The studio

I sat there, looking at the ticking clock. Watching the time fly past me as I stayed still, unmoving. My phone was ringing with messages, but I ignored it. Still, I wanted to know. I know they were coming here to find me. Tawni, Audrey and Kelly sitting near me.

Tawni was my roomate back at the orphan's boarding school. Audrey was my cousin, Kelly was her friend. I hated both Audrey and Kelly, but I have no choice but to stay here with them.

"So," Audrey teased, "How are you doin wittle Awuna?" she and Kelly let our chuckles.

"It isn't that funny." Tawni rolled her eyes at them, then winked at me.

"Hah, then we'll roll your way." Kelly laughed.

*************************************

As night came upon us, we could barely see anything. There was silence, but that was enough. I can't help thinking Audrey was prettier than me. I mean, it doesn't matter right? It's not like Aiden knows her.

Aiden...

Even now I'm thinking about him, in this sort of predicament.

No...clear him from your head Asuna, ASUNA!

I woke up with a fright. Was that a ghost? I can't help thinking, remembering the voice, how it sounded like howls of the wind.

I checked my phone, 5:27 AM

Good.

There were 1562 messages from the group chat. I sigh. Not gonna read them all. No.

Asuna, stop thinking about him

Uh-oh there it was again. The voice was real. It wasn't just a dream. Well I will listen to the voice, I was thinking about him to much. Keep your head together Asuna. I tell myself.

Gosh I just can't. Every singke freaking thing reminds me of him.

Click. I heard a sound. I shifted towards it. Click. I heard it again. What?

Asuna be brave.

Be brave? Who was that spirit? What was the click I'm so creeped out. It couldn't be my concious. No. It is a spirit, I'm certain. Creeping up to Tawni's bed, I breathed, trying to calm myself. I give Tawni a tap on the shoulders waking her up. She stretched wearily and fell right back in.

"Tawni!" I whispered. "We have to leave." she looks at me confused, "Now."

"Why?" she said, pretty loudly.

"Th-there are these...these..." my voice trailed off. Oh this is gonna haunt me in my nightmares every night from now, "These spirits...th-they s-spo-"

Asuna, Tawni, danger is coming your way.

"That!" I exclaimed, Tawni was grasping my arm, "That is why we have to leave."

Tawni picked herself up and we scurried towards the door. We pushed it lightly, so it wouldn't creak, but I turned.

The windows burst wide open. The camera angle doen at our feet, and we started to scream, "BLOOOOOOOOD!!" the rain soaks us and the thunder hits the ground, making a crack.

You were too late! Mwahahahahahaha

The ghost was holding a dagger, so sharp it scared me to death. And then it happened, I was stabbed.

*************************************

"Cut!" Tori yells, turning off her camera. "Okay, April, the ghost doesn't say anything about Asuna liking Aiden."

"Exactly!" I smirked. She bursted into laughter.

"I'm, I'm so sorry, but it would be more fun that way!" April continued to laugh.

"Ugh, now we have to retake that scene."  Tori was mad now. I can see it in her eyes.

"Haha, a double take?" Aiden shot in. "April, I will kill you." he turned to me smiling, like a pedophile. His smile said, 'Asuna, get her.'

I charged forward and dug my nails into April's skin leaving her wailing in pain. "Take it back, TAKE IT BACK!" she wailed even louder, "APRIL TAKE THAT BACK!" Tori tried to remove my nails from April's skin, but I don't give.

"Okay, okay I- owww!" she started crying, "Just let go!"

I released her. Blood was dripping down her arm, Aiden's jaw dropped to the floor, leaving him hanging there speechless. I regret hurting her this badly. "Sorry Asuna." she says through her tears.

"Nonono, I'm sorry." I felt guilty, like really guilty. "Um...put that in the film?"

Tori let out a sigh of exasperation, "Yuuki Asuna."  I looked directly at her, and smiled like an idiot. She looked stern. Furious maybe? She could be fuming for all I care. "Asuna, just...I can't even...."

Okay well maybe not... She's really pissed off. "Sorry..."

"Take 5!" she exclaimed.

I walked over to Aiden, brushing my tangled blond hair. The waviness of my hair makes it tangle sometimes, especially when I frizzes.

"Aiden it was partly your fault." I smiled teasingly.

"Well you listened." he smiled back.

"I'm just that nice." we broke into hysterical laughter. I still don't get it why do I like him?

"Sure." he smiled sarcastically. And there, I'm smiling like an idiot again.
