“Tamie…You can’t escape…I’ll find you…Can’t Escape…” It seemed to echo off the walls. The voice seemed to follow me in the mansion. I felt like I should remember this place, and the voice.  It never seemed like it would hurt me “Tamie…Remember me… Find me… Follow…Wave… Woods…” A sharp pain in my head erupted, “V-val AHHHHH”.  Whatever I was trying to say stopped right there. “Tamie! Wak…p…Wake….Wake up! Tamie!” I shot out of my bed in cold sweat, “-Eria...” looking around myself, as I tried to recall where I heard that name from. It seemed so familiar to me, but I couldn’t grasp where. “What was that Tamie?” Realizing I wasn’t alone, I turned around to the person. “Huh… Oh nothing, Senpai.” I mumble to Hisoka, turning over in our cell. “Tamie there is something bothering you now be a good kōhai and tell me.” Hisoka crossed over to my side of the cell. “I had it…Again… Why does this keep happening Senpai? It’s always the same… I’m in a room, looking in the mirror on a vanity, there’s no one in there, then a voice starts calling for me.” By the end of that sentence, I was crying, more like sobbing. “Shush Tamie you have to be quiet or they will hear you and start testing on you again. I’ve told them you have been out for three days so you can rest.” I looked at him with worry and slight care. “Senpai! That’s dangerous they will punish you if they find out about this.” As I finished that statement, I began to fall on Hisoka. I began to whimper and wiggle to convert the discomfort in my forearm. My veins felt like searing white hot fire was being pushed into it. Then it stopped, looking down on my right forearm was a kanji 剣. realizing something was wrong I called for the only other person in here. “Senpai?” I whispered looking for him. It was like he disappeared, like he never existed at all. Fear began to fill my body my heart picked up its pace ‘where is he…Senpai.’ Then I felt a tingle in my forearm. “Tamie I’m here don’t worry.” Hisoka’s voice echoed in my head. “…Senpai…” that was too much for me to handle. I fainted, only to wake up in the mansion again. “Tamie follow my voice.” His voice was difficult to pin point but, I manage to. I walked around till I found a hallway that was slightly different than the rest.   The entrance of a hallway was dark and empty looking then the rest which was happy and calm. I began my trek down the long hall. I looked around to see Pictures of my Friends, but one picture was blurred, and it kept changing. It looked familiar to me, but from where? “Tamie hurry find me Hurry!”  When I finally did make it to the end of the hall, there was a door separating me from Hisoka’s Voice. The door had two carvings. One of them was a flower. To be more specific, they’re red spider lilies the second thing is Naraku no Hana carved into the wood. Now most people that didn’t know what it means would have continue but, I wasn’t most people I knew what it meant Hisoka-Senpai would sing a song to me called that in our language. “Flower of Hell, what are you trying to tell me Senpai?” Closing my eyes to think on what he was trying to tell me…. Without me doing anything the words on the door began glowing and a melody played out. Before the last note it stopped as if urging me to continue it. Without a second thought I mumbled out “Repeating the time of fate.” The door open a crack but enough for me to push through. Tripping a little from the door I enter through “Hisoka, are you here?” hearing nothing in replied I turn to leave. “That’s not possible!” The door was missing; I began to panic when I heard footsteps in all direction. “Hisoka Help me! Please anyone, someone save me!” My heart beat picked up when I heard running in my direction. My forearm began burning again “Mie….Call…Y….Real….Ame…”   I begun to ran while the pain still tingles. What is he talking about I don’t understand it. “Hisoka I don’t understand.” Silence then a sharp pain in my arm again but it burned worse. “Mie!!!Call my real Name!!! Remember!” This time it was understandable. I began to rack my brain trying to remember him saying his real name “….…Shi……Me….”  I understood that he was trying to help me remember, but what could he be saying. ‘I don’t understand senpai…,’ that was my last and only thought before I felt a tug at my conscious. Something whatever it was began to pull me away from this place. “Senpai!!! Help Me, please!!!” my only response was a faint whisper “Call for me, my little kōhai.” A shock went through my body getting a gasp from me. When I open my eyes all I could see where men and women all dressed in weird outfits. They all looked like the ones Senpai showed me in his drawing and paintings, but what frighten me was the sorrowful look in their eyes. A hand grabbed me from behind. Then the person put a cloth that smelled funny over my mouth and nose before the world turn a slow and hazy till finally black. I felt like I was falling in a dark black ocean before I reach that steadiness of something under me. My eyes snapped open when I realized that I was on something soft and warm. I tried moving my arms and legs but they wouldn’t move at all. There above me was a white ceiling with a light that I only see in the halls of the cell when someone throws senpai or me back in. I heard a faint mutter of someone talking in a far off place I tried to turn my head but it felt to heavy to move. I tried to say something, but it felt like someone was covering my mouth. ‘Senpai, help me please!’ I waited for the answer or the sharp pain my arm, but it never came. My sight began to blear with tears as I cried silently. Question began bubbling in my head ‘Was this created from my imagination….Did I make this up…..Was this from-’ My thought were halted by a man and a woman who appeared in front of me. “My little amigo don’t be sad you will be the new and better with this shot and so will your friends.” At the end of that sentence he grabbed my arm and turned it so my vein could be seen. I waited for the usual little prick then nothing and disappointment but nothing like this it happen instead I felt like I was burning then dropped in the coldest water just to restart. My bones were braking then repairing themselves. It was painful and hellish. Through the pain I could see images of people fighting, a wolf, a flowers, a mansion, and more they kept coming it was like a dam had broken and it was flooding a whole city. I felt like my heartbeat slowing down only for it to beat like it was racing against time only to repeat. I was sure my heart was going to collapse in on itself. Somewhere during the pain I felt fingertips grazing my cheek and singing in the background I couldn’t tell if that was my imagination or not at this point. Finally the pain became too much for me to bear that I passed out from it but not even in my dream wasn't I safe from the pain I felt like an animal raging inside of itself. I wished someone could save me from this nightmare but I know that was impossible to do. What scared me was my memories was playing before myself was slowly disappearing before my eyes I was losing my most precious memories I had and as they disappear I began to change like the tides of the ocean, I was losing myself.
