Kuchisuke Onna

Second Chance

3 years later Luna has moved to Australia... she's 21 now.

"That's my story about Kuchisuke Onna" I told Henry (My boyfriend). He's eyes were wide open... he had started breathing heavy. I laughed at him. "That happened 3 years ago Henry and besides she's in Japan not here." I am still in college and every time I walk home I remember that day. Remember her hair, her, eyes, her voice, her spilt mouth. I always try to shake it off but it always feel like it's going to happen again.
I woke up the next day with another nightmare about her. I looked over and Henry was still sleeping, I decided to take a walk to try to clear my mind. I got on my work out clothes and put in my earbuds. I headed out the door and started jogging down the street. I had a strange feeling about today. No one was out of the streets this morning probably because it was too early for most people here. I turned the corner to start heading back to my apartment but then I saw...her.

She turned the corner and looked right into my eyes. My heart skipped a beat when she looked at me. I was so scared. So many thoughts were running through my mind.
"She doesn't travel does she? Does she remember me? Is she here just to kill me?" I looked at her. She looked exactly has I had remembered her. Her hair, eyes, mask.
"Do you remember me? Do you think I'm pretty? I'm not going to stop until your dead." Those words shook my core. I had to follow what happens in the story... well without the part when I die.
"Yes your pretty!" I said to her... I wanted her to leave me alone.
"This time your not getting a second chance" she pulled out her long scissors and ran towards me. As she was running towards me her mask slipped off her face. I started running toward her at full speed. I stopped right before she got to me and I tripped her. She fell with the scissors right through her back. I called the police immediately to tell them about her. They showed up a few minutes later. Not to long after them Henry came running down the street.
"When I heard the sirens and you weren't there I started running. You gave me a heart attack!" After he said that he gave me a kiss.

One of the policemen came up to me. "Your one of the lucky ones, you know for getting away from her twice. She came after my wife and that's how she passed away..." tears filled his eyes and I hugged him. " Hopefully we won't have to ever worry about her again." I watched them has they took away the body. That was the last time I ever saw the slit mouthed woman but not the last I heard of her... she's still out there waiting for her next victim to make "pretty"
