I-It was... Someone with familiar hair and a familiar mask. It seemed like a paper plate. She was breathing heavily. Her school uniform was covered in a red substance. She had a chainsaw in her hands. It was spiky, and scary, and bloody. Holy shit. She fucking killed her. Mai's light pink cardigan was shred into pieces on the floor. Jesus Christ, it looked like a brutal battle in her room. The stuffed animals that were scattered around, were split in small halves. Red cotton spread the whole floor. The beige carpet turned red. Everywhere was red. The walls had splatters of red. I was on the verge of throwing up when I saw who was on the floor. She lay on the floor, unconscious. Each part of her insides were scattered around the room, like the stuffed animals' remains. Cut lungs, noodly intestines, slimy stomach, red heart, they were all there. Each one. Scattered. Like my heart. I rushed out of the building. Panicking. I quickly ran back to the clubroom. Vampire wasn't in front of the room anymore. There was a red string leading up to here. She must've placed it on the way to Mai's house. Why didn't I visit Mai straight after school? Why? Just fucking why?! I quickly open the door, adrenaline rushing through my veins. "Hey, guys," I say. I saw everyone looking at me, horrified of the look on my face. Frown and Memey quickly ran up to me and asked, "Are you okay, Zach?!" "Y-yeah... Just fine!" I said. I felt sick to my stomach. I regret going to her house. I should've left the door closed. I should've fucking stayed here. Why couldn't I? Why... "Hey, Zach," Luna said, gently. "Calm down, tell us what happened. We are always here," she continued. I, again, took five deep breaths. Everyone was gathered around. Blaede and Shadow wore a concerned look. Memey was fidgting with a button on her cardigan, but she was listening. Panda was calm but leaned into me to show he was listening. Frown was patting my back, which helped me calm down. Luna was sitting in front of me, wearing a very serious and concerned look. "Okay," I started describing what I saw and what happened. The picture. The picture that was of a dead Mai, lying on the floor. It was a childish drawing, maybe made by a not very talented artist. I told my feelings of the situation. They all listened attentively, with immense concern. "Z-Zach..." Shadow said as Zach finished his last sentence. "I- We are all worried, Zachariah," Panda said. Everyone in the room shook their heads in agreement. Everyone got into a group hug for a few seconds. Everyone was very scared, except Luna. "Zach, can we talk?" Luna said, nervously. "Sure," I answered. Luna and I walked out of the room and into the hallways. She made sure no one was eavesdropping by looking in every direction the hallways led to. "Zach, I talked with both Mai and Vampire, right?" Luna started. "Yeah?" I answered back. "I might've messed with them a little bit, anddd, well...." "Luna?" "Y-yes?" "You made them insane?!" "I wouldn't call it 'insane'. More like, different. I tried to help them both! But, they were getting worse and worse each chapter" "Chapter?" "I MEAN DAY!" "Oh, but what exactly did you tell them...?" "I suggested them going to a therapist and giving them advice! It was advice like 'Never give up!' 'Chase your dreams!'" "And apparently, Vampire's 'Chase your dreams!' was murdering Mai!" I almost screamed. "Look, I didn't know, okay? I feel so bad and I want to apologize. I really mean no harm. I was simply trying to be a good friend," Luna said. "I... forgive you," I say, hesitating. "Thank you, Zach. Now, shall we head back inside?" she asked, smiling. "Race ya!" I say trying to lighten up the mood with a small game. I take it back, today was a very eventful day. I was running down to the clubroom and opened the door, quickly. Luna was panting from trying to catch up to me. She was getting closer to me but I still won from a little head start. We giggled when we walked inside and sat down with the others. "Hey Zach," Blaede said. "Yeah?" "I was wondering if you'd like us all to sleep over at Panda's place for a week to make sure your safe. We already contacted the police and they should be arriving at Mai's home to see the damage done," the blue haired girl said, calmly. "O-oh! That would be awesome!" I said, clearly excited. "Great, see you at my house in two hours," Panda said. "We should all get going home so we can get ready and pack up for an adventure of a million centuries," Memey said, sarcastically. Each one of us got up and started heading out the school. Panda was decided to walk with me home to be my so called, 'body guard.' I appreciated everyone's efforts to keep me safe, mentally, and physically. Panda and I chatted about League of Legends and what build I should get for Sion, as I packed. After about one hour and thirty minutes has passed, we both start heading out. Panda called an Uber to pick us up since his house was farther away in a different neighborhood. This one felt more ghetto but safe. It had a strange atmosphere that I couldn't deeply describe well. We drove past lots of food restaurants, weeb stores, and cheap merchandise shops on the way. This place did not feel like me and Mai's neighborhood at all. I liked it. I forgot all about the incident earlier today because of how focused I was from looking at the many wondrous sights I saw. After a few more minutes of driving, we came to a halt at a small but large enough house to live in. I guessed this was Panda's place. Panda quickly got his house key out of his bag and unlocked the door. The place had a big living room, medium kitchen, four other rooms, and small windows in each room that was visible to me. I placed my two bags in the living room on the floor and sat down on the couch. It was surprisingly comfortable. After a few minutes of chilling out, a doorbell rang. One by one each of us from the gaming club came in. Luna, Memey, Shadow, Frown, then Blaede. Each of them had at least two to three bags with them. I could tell from everyone's expression and movements, they were all excited. I could admit, I was as well. "Welcome to this Gayweeb™'s place, " Panda said, smirking. He led us all to his room and the guest room. We all decided that the girls stay in the guest room and the boys stay in Panda's room for the next week. I already knew that this week would be the best week ever! I couldn't wait.
