Book of Noodle

Chapter 11

A few weeks passed and I was getting really good at English.
A few days after we recorded our album for the self title I met a girl my age named Dawn. Murdoc had adopted her as his own which was strange to accept at first but her and i got on perfect, despite the language barrier we were inseparable. Like two peas in a pod. Staying up late and doing girly things like make up and hair. The boys would never let me do that with them. Not when i wanted them to anyways.

Dawn and I were best friends. We'd even stay up late and watch scary movies. Just like tonight!

It was way beyond out bed time. Rain was tapping on the window and thunder rolled across the May sky.
Dawn and I had been sitting in front of the telly watching horror film after horror film. This one, a classic Ringu or what English speakers called it "the Ring".
I'm not sure why but that film always seemed to get to me. Something about that Sadoko bothered me...she was...different and i didn't like the fact that she could come out of the tv whenever she wanted.

A loud bang crashed through the building making the TV static and crackle terrifying the both of us.

Kong Studios was filled with zombies and ghosts 24/7 so it was nothing new...until the TV in my room began to pop and fizzle and flicker static...even if all my lights were off.

Dawn and I both Screamed as we ran our way to the nearest power outlet. The bathroom, yet before we could get there, she was already waiting for us.

She was tall. Dark hair. Dark eyes. Thin. And ready to drag us to Hell.
Feeling Dawn snatch my wrist she dragged me with her

"TOOOOCHIIIII!!!!"
I attempted to open his door but it was locked. Dawn joined in on the banging as well.

"2D! Please! Hurry! She's going to kill us!"

"Girls? 'S two in de mo'nin'...wot's-"
We immediately hugged him as tight as we could clinging to him as if he could protect us from the tv demon.
"Wots wrong lovs?"

I pointed at the tall black figure that was walking even closer.

"Sadoko! Sadoko!"

"It's Sadoko 2D!"
Dawn shouted with a worried face.
"She's going to drag us to Hell!"

"Hey. Language..."
He stated with a sigh.
"Have yew lot been watching dem scary films again? 'm tellin' you loves its bad for you this late."

The footsteps from the woman became louder and louder as I held onto 2D as tight as I could. I really thought I was about to die that night...between the footsteps and my tears the only thing I heard were the soft hushes from a friend and the swaying movement. Everything else was so dark...I couldn't find comfort or relief...I just wanted the scarry woman to go away...

What felt like ages of panic just ended up being...something way worse than a demon.
She was tall...thin...jet black hair and pale skin...practically a zombie...or worse A DEMON!

I then watch as she stepped into the light more, letting out a yawn.

"Stu baby, do you think if I tried really hard I could stay? Just a bit longer..."
I heard an unfamiliar voice say...I held tight to 2D still, was that his girlfriend? She sounds like a bird. A sick bird.
"Babe, who's that?"

"Oh...ehhh dis is Noodle...our new guitarist and Dawn...Murdoc's kid."

"Y-You're joking right?"
She scoffed a bit at that statement. She didn't seem too happy to meet us...and i suppose Dawn and i felt the same way.

"Yeah? That's Noodle. Our new guitarist. Gorillaz new guitarest."
And with a light scoff she rolled her eyes. Walking away.
"Paula? Paula!"

"I think we scared her away."
Dawn stated with a soft smile on her face which quickly turned into a frown once she saw 2D.

"Bed...now Girls."

"Aww D, we didn't mean to-"

"It's to early in the morning girls jus'...go Bed. Please."
2D stated in a low tired tone before going back to his room and closing his door.

I felt guilty for running off another one of his girlfriends. Of course i didn't mean to but this wasn't the first time it's happened.

"Noodle? Are you ok?"

"Yes."
I replied to her in Japanese.
"Let's go to sleep Dawn-Chan. I'm sleepy."
I mumbled off to her in Japanese once more.

"Nemui? That means sleepy right?"
Dawn asked. I didn't answer her though.

Taking her hand I brought her back to my room, putting on my Pikachu night light and curling up on my futon.
I wasn't really sleepy...all I could think about is how upset I made 2D.
Maybe if I just went away they can find a new guitarist and be happy with that instead of me.

Drifting off I had a strange dream.
I was in a dry, dusty field. Windmills everywhere and i was alone...all alone. But i didn't feel alone. Someone was watching me. All the sudden i hear a loud voice come on. Like a loud speaker shouting at me or...at least i thought it was me.

"遥花, 走る!"

That name? Who was that? Surely not me but i was the only one there. Once more the loud voice came on. Telling me to run. But where to. And what from?

I was puzzled but i ran. As fast as i could i ran and ran until i couldn't know more.
Out of breath i reached a forest.
Where was I? Who was i? I couldn't remember anything? In the panic I awoke to 2D nudging my side. I nearly punched him in the face for that. Although it was an accident.

"Are you alright? You were shouting and...oh, love. Your face is red. Are you ill?"
My body felt weak like i haven't slept but i didn't feel ill. Just tired. Shaking my head i sat up and looked at him as he placed a hand on my forehead.
"Love. You're burning up."

"I'm alright 2D."
I state sitting up. My legs aching.

"Dayjavu um... Desu ka?"
He asked trying to ask it Japanese but failing. I gave him a nod. After i nodded he headed out of the room allowing me to get ready for the day. And a long day it was.
