Devil's Wonderland

Chiharu

Halo Three: Chiharu:

-Chiharu-

She took everything from me. I didn't want to come back. She forced me to come back. I don't want to be experimented on again. I don't want to go back there. I don't want to go back there!

I could barely hear their voices. Why were they always whispering around me? I can see them though.

"How is she doing?" Mikado asked in a hushed tone. Tatsuya shook his head.

"Not good," Aniki said. Masaomi looked over at me. No, please don't look at me like that. I'm still me, aren't I? Aren't I? My heart started pounding against my chest. The hunger... It won't stop. I have to have more. All that blood. I need more. Give me more! I have to have it!

My body started to convulse. No! I won't give into this. I might have just messed up once. But I won't let it happen again. The pains grew worse in my body. Then came that annoying buzzing in my left ear. She sounded just like her. The sound of her voice made me want to scream.

"It's so adorable that you think you can climb back from this," she whispered. "It's too late for you, you know. You've already had your first taste of human blood. It won't stop. You will have more. It is in your nature." I gritted my teeth.

"No!" I growled. "You will not take me! I will not give in!"

"But you already have," that annoying voice said. My eyes widened in my pain. An invisible hand started stroking my hair.

"You poor thing," they went on. "This would all be over if you feed. You only got a taste on that roof. That was only a crumb. Why torture yourself when you can have a nice juicy whole body to feast on?" Did those poisonous words have to strike a nerve? I won't give into it. I won't give into it.

"But haven't you already?" they asked. "We can keep going with this here or you can just give up and feed. You're dying anyway."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I screamed. The pain grew worse through my body. I thought my hear was going to burst in my chest. I couldn't even claw into the floor.

"Chiharu! Chiharu!" was the last thing I heard before it all turned black.

Hot. It's so hot.

I awoke to a bright light over my head. Wait a minute... I have seen this before. No, not again.

Soft footsteps walked into the room. They stopped at the doorway. Hushed whispers outside. I knew what was coming next. Footsteps walked over to the operating table. Two masked doctors stood over me. I couldn't see their faces. Their voices were muffled. One of them stroked my face.

Get your hand off of me. I am not your pet! Get away from me!

Then the cutting begins. It's my chest again. I could feel everything. I can't scream. I lost the ability to speak when I was reborn. I could see everything they were doing to me. All I can do is lay there and let them operate on me.

"Chiharu! Chiharu!" I heard someone yell. I yanked open my eyes. Mikado and Masaomi stood over me.

"Are you okay?" Masaomi asked. I tried to speak but no words came out. The best I could muster was a small squeak. I could already hear her laughing again in my left ear.

-Dolls-

Today was Sunday and the interns had only one job they needed to do. Kitano paired them out into little teams. They would due back before sundown. Time for some doll-hunting.

-7:00 a.m.-

Roc turned to Akihito. "You never really talk much, do you? Why is that?" His fellow intern eyed him. Roc dropped his shoulders.
