I yawn as I sit up. I haven't slept like that in a while! "Huh?" I look around. Serrah's not here.. I get up and search. My family isn't here either.. Am I the only one he-- "Oh, hey! You're up!" I giggle. "Yeah... I slept pretty well, too. I felt like I was in paradise." She smiles. "Well, at least you didn't sleep terribly!" I stare at the floor. "Yeah.." I still remember what happened last night... It was horrible... "Earth to Hannah, you there?" I snap out of that state. "Sorry, I was remembering last night." Serrah frowns. "Oh, yeah. Sorry for hurting you." I place my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, it's not your fault you were possessed!" She rubs her arm. "I guess not.." What surprised me was a smell coming from where she was. "Are you cooking?" She nods. "What, am I not allowed to cook?" I join in. "Nope, neeeeeverrrr." We both start laughing. "So, what'cha cooking?" She smiles. "I saw these ramen packs in your room, and a heck of a lot of them, so I decided to make some ramen!" I sit down, bathing in the scent of the ramen. I close my eyes. I almost fell asleep when I heard a little *dink* sound on the table. She had finished. It looks amazing. I begin to drool, but I suck it back in and let it cool. After a few minutes, the steam finally went away and I took a bite. I could've sworn I fell in love with the food. "Judging by your expression, you like it." I swallowed. "Boi. Boooiiiii. I don't just LIKE it. I fucking LOVE it!!!" She giggles, and sits beside me. I eat the rest of it quickly. "Okay, just INHALE it then!" We both burst out laughing. As soon as I place the bowl into the sink, I feel a cold sensation run through my body. I shiver. "Something doesn't feel right..." I turn around and she's gone. "Well, shit. Who is it this time?" I was just about to walk forward as pain courses through my entire being. I wince, screeching. The pain goes away after an hour, and I open my eyes. There's an inverted pentagram drawn under me with dried blood, black and red candles at the edges of it. "Well, this is certainly cliche for a horror ga--" My attention is turned to Monika, who just walked in from the shadows. She has a box of matches in her hand. She takes them out and lights every candle. I can feel my body pixelating, a painful sensation I won't be able to forget. Monika walks away, smiling. "Sayonara, Hannah~" My eyes narrow, fists clenching. Soon enough, I black out.
