Chapter 4 "Escape"

I looked to my left then to my right, still dark.. I kept running forward towards the light as I started to pant, it seemed like the light was just getting further and further away from it, it was like an endless hall of darkness and I could never reach the light no matter how much I ran. I then heard a burst of laughter from behind me. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see who it was. when I turned around...there was me? I was standing in front of myself.. "you see this Chiziru? I am you!" it spoke and laughed before it reached across its face, grabbing its ear and slowly pulling its face from its body, its skin then turned charred with blackness, some of the black charcoal peeled off as redness emerged, before the whore face fell off and all you could see was the red muscle. "you killed me! You burned your own kind!!" I stood frozen in fear, it started to deteriorate as all that was left was a skeleton figure, it started to scream and dash towards me.

I screamed sitting up in the bed sweating. I heard a thud from the living room then steps running towards me, I froze again thinking it was that thing in my dream, the door swung open and Tamaki came inside looking worried sick, he had a knife in his hands.

"are you ok?!" he asked walking towards me, I was panting and shaking and I could feel the tears running down my cheeks.

"I had a nightmare.." I whispered softly, he sat on the side of the bed and looked at me.

"do you want me to stay here tonight?" he rubbing my arm reassuringly, i nodded slowly and wiped my eyes. he put the knife down on the side of the bed and slowly crawled in next to me, he kepty a distance between us in the bed and i took a deep breath trying to sleep again. eventually i drifted off to sleep.

i sat by the table watching Tamaki make breakfast, my stomach was growling and i needed something to eat. i caught myself starring at him in a different way and i started to go red in the face, i cupped my cheeks and shook my head not wanting him to notice. he turned around and put a plate on the table infront of me.

"eat up" he smiled. I smiled back and started eating, once we both finished eating I went back to the room and then into the bathroom preparing to take a shower, I took my shirt off before hearing a bang on the front door. I froze.. what was that? my heart stopped and I held my breath, again... another bang but louder, it sounded like someone wanted to get inside. I put my shirt on and ran out towards the kitchen, Tamaki wasn't there... I started to freak out scared that he might have gotten killed. I didn't know what to do, run? I shook my head collecting myself again before going into the lounge room, there I find Tamaki and relief flows through my body.

"Tamaki...what's that noise?" I whispered to him, he put his finger on his lips as to shush me and I shut my mouth, he had a knife in his hands as he was concentrated on the door. there was another bang and I covered my mouth trying not to scream. I looked at him as he approached the window. he peered through it for a second then turned to me, fear in his eyes. I froze yet again and he ran towards me grabbing my hand. the door swung open and I looked at the door, Tamaki pulled me towards the kitchen door, all I could see was a head, with its eyes falling out hanging by the optic nerve and the blood vessels. I started running with him my heart pounding out of my chest. those things were after me again.

we kept running, turning a corner towards an alleyway, there was a ladder leading to a roof of a building and we started climbing up it as the thing turned the corner, it started to follow us screaming and screeching, it was gaining on us and we couldn't climb any faster. Tamaki got onto the room and tried helping me up but it grabbed onto my leg and started to pull me down, I screamed as Tamaki grabbed onto my hand and tried pulling me up. I was shaking and crying.
