My Love from my Photograph

Part 2

(Y/n)'s POV

We come to a building in between the hunters' and the survivors', which is known as the place where hunters and survivors meet each other. The game building.

"Here," Joseph hands me a book binded with leather. It looks rather old, but the pages inside are still new and white. My name is sewed on the front of the book, and the words,"The Musician" below.

"This is your book, it will record the progress of every single match of your game. Just place it next to the computer there." Joseph points at a rectangular metal board I have never seen before. "A com-puter?"

"Indeed, that's a modern device they use here. Since, it wasn't present during our times."

"Thanks for letting me know."

"No problem. Also, this book contains your skills and achievements you need to achieve in order to get back your memory. You may read it now, before they let you start your game."

"Okay." I flip open the book, and the title shows trait and characteristics.

Traits & Characteristics:
1~Memory World
When (Y/n) plays her piano, there will be a minute of capturing the survivors' image in the memory world. (Y/n)'s damage can provide 1/3 of damage in the reality world.
2~Fear
(Y/n) shows a great fear towards people, her moving speed will decrease by 10% than other hunters when she's near female survivors for 15m. But moving speed will decrease up to 30% when she's near male survivors for 15m.

Later, I go and look at the page for skills.
Skills:
1~Deck of Memories
(Y/n) can travel right into the memory world using this skill. Skill time cooling down as 8 seconds.
2~Classical Pieces
When (Y/n) hums any classical pieces in hand, she will return to the place she has been. Only up to 13 seconds.

I think that's it. When I'm done reading, I find Joseph handing me a sword. Not too long nor too short, but just right. The silvery handle carved my initial and also a "J".

"This has been with me for all those years, (Y/n). Now it has finally come back to you."

"Thank you," I put my book on the desk.

"Voue toi veine!" He smiles and leads me to the door near the desk where the "computer" thingy is put. Others say "good luck" as well before I go in.

Inside the room, I sit down on a chair, the curtains behind the chair is opened, revealing survivors that are going to be in the match. Once everyone is ready, my surroundings become jet black and i can only see the emblem of the invitation on a glass, cracks. Suddenly I am teleported to a place. A map of the game, I suppose. In front of me is a piano, I sit down and immediately play any pieces that flash across my mind.

Then I travel into the memory world. There should be a survivor out here somewhere--eep! A male survivor?! For some reasons I don't know, I start panicking. But at least I can attack him and put him onto a rocket chair nearby. When I go back to the real world, the male I saw just now runs towards me, with a flashlight in his hand. My eyes hurt for a second, but then when it's over, he just kneel to the ground. That's when I can put him on to the rocket chair.

"Kreacher! Don't worry buddy! I'll save ya!" Another male call out from the front. Why another male? I try to hit him but he vanishes, the one I hit is probably his image. Maybe he knows magic?

But good thing there's another piano nearby, I quickly play another piece and hide myself into the memory world. And attack their images then put them both onto rocket chairs.

This time, when the time of the memory world goes off, I manage to get those two survivors onto rocket chairs. But a girl with her hair tied back firmly pulls out a gun and targets at me. I suddenly gone into panick mode and do not know what to do. Bang! Smokes of pink is what I can see. When my view is once again clear, the three of them can nowhere be found.

Just then, the sound of the wailing siren cries, meaning that they have successfully decoded all cipher machines. I do not know where the gate is, so I try my luck to find any of the survivors. When I found the girl who pulled me a trigger just now, she had open the gates and escaped.

Oh well, looks like I should go to another gate to check out for other survivors. At the other gate, there's three of them. Two males from just now and one more male who dressed like a cowboy had just finished opening the gates.

"Hey! That's the hunter! Let's play for a while to get more scores, how does that sound?" One of them suggests.

"Sounds good to me, yee-haw!" The cowboy just toss out his lasso to pull me towards him. Before I know it, he is carrying me on his shoulder. "Heh hey! This is one beauty here! This round of game is so easy!" I actually cry out loud,"He-help... Joseph!!!"

"Oh gosh, I think this beauty is just something we shouldn't be touching, Kevin. I think it's the best you put her down now." The magician says, but the "flashlight man" from just now shines his flashlight at me again. My eyes are a pain from the light. I cry and try to rub away the tears in my eyes.

When I finally get down and can see again, the three survivors left the game. Then I am transport back to the game building. When I open the door, there's a commotion between the hunters.

"That's very rude of those three survivors!" Michiko stated, and Violetta adds that,"I hate it when the three of them have to be like that."

"Yeah, I hate it when that cowboy just pull my little princess away from my arms while I was just trying to take her to the gates." Jack looks upset as well.

"Hey, are you really that weak?" Joker asks me in a playful manner, which Joseph protests back,"It's just her first game! How are you very sure that you can do well in your first game?"

Feeling like a total disappointment to them, I cry again quietly, Joseph only pulls me into a hug,"Here, mon chéri. It's alright. It's just your first game, don't cry." I nod silently in his embrace, refusing to let go.

"Somehow, her skills do remind me of Joseph's skills. They're almost the same." Jack points out,"Perhaps Joseph, you can teach (Y/n) how to play better in the games?"

"Si, j'peut." He gives Jack a short nod,"(Y/n)? Everything is okay. You don't have to be afraid." He pats my back to soothe me.

"I guess that's for today. I've brought some visitors for you." Leo asks me if I would want to meet them. "Don't worry, they're females. Including my daughter Emma, she's looking forward to meet you too."

"Oh, o-okay then." I finally let go of myself from Joseph's embrace, following them to meet the female survivors. We go back to the venue where they held the welcome party for me.
