Ghost 3

Chapter 13~ The Infinity Five Club

I am sad to say that this is the end of Ghost 3. Sob, sob. Sob, sob. It was nice writing my first story and I can't wait to start another one :) With all the support you readers give, I'm determined to keep on going. Arigato, minna! (P.S. I may or may not write a bonus chapter if I get any ideas :3) Now read, comment, vote, and enjoy!

I woke up feeling like I was asleep for centuries. My eyelids jumped open but the rest of my body refused to move. I could see I was in a room, but I couldn't decipher anything else.

Out of the side of my eyes, I saw a person run out of the door. I forced myself upright and jerked my head to the right, but my half-focused eyes could only pick out a black figure swipe out the doorway and into a dim hallway. When the door slammed shut, I could almost feel the wind run through my hair.

I rubbed my eyes and scanned the room, trying to figure out where I was. Am I being kidnapped? I thought for a second; but my brain snapped back to reality. The familiar maroon walls of my bedroom surrounded me and the recognizable softness of my worn-out white bed lay below my fingers.

Suddenly, a rush of memories flowed back into my brain all at once.

Avi, Kameko, now Katsu: deceased.

Nori: alive.

My fingertips lifted to my face to wipe soft tears away, but I also felt something rough and flat wrapped around my head.

I tossed my legs off the side of the bed and then hoisted myself off the comfort of the covers. My bare feet landed on the freezing wooden floor beneath me. Once I attempted to stand, I nearly stumbled forward to land face-first on the ground, but I instinctively threw my arms out in front of me to stop my fall. That, however, was useless. My arm gave in when my palm filled with a familiar pain. I landed on the wood on my side and shrieked.

An overwhelming sting swarmed my ankle and hand. I looked down to see bandages wrapped around both injured areas clumsily. Faint red stains bled through the once-white strips. I sucked in a deep breath. I regained my footing gingerly and limped out into the hall. My eyes followed a path of muddy footsteps, leading to the front door.

Nori must've carried me home. He must've tried to heal me, I thought. A quick feeling of affection filled my chest, but another throbbing pain in my head distracted me.

I trudged over to the bathroom. Once I took a step inside, I observed my reflection in the mirror. There was another bandage wrapped around the side of my head and over my right eye. A quick flashback reminded me of Nori shoving me to the ground and the rock colliding with my head; before I took Katsu's life.

I've never been fond of human emotion. It plays with your brain, which plays with your heart, which controls your actions. But now, after watching three die, I allowed the emotion to take over. I let the tears fall this time.

My right eye stung under the straps of bandages. Aggravated, I ripped off the strap over my eye.

My jaw dropped, my hands climbed over my face, and I shook my head in fear. A horrible scream escaped my mouth as I stared at my reflection.

My pupil was gone. My eye was just a blank white space. I tried covering my left eye; I saw nothing. My horizon of sight was cut in half. It must've been when I hit my head. The sight section of my brain must've been affected too.

All of a sudden, I felt scared of everything. The silence of my own house scared me. It told me that I was alone. The pain inside and out of me scared me. It was too strong to be real; but it was real.
