Corpse Party - Ghost Whisperer [DISCONTINUED]

The Painful Memory

Yuu POV

Why was this thing still chasing me? What did I ever do to the Damn thing!

My breath is so grasped that my throat is dry and it hurts to breathe. I try to swallow some saliva, but my mouth is dry also. My body ached like it had been stabbed by multiple knives.

I glance behind me, the shadow still was moving slowly, stalking its prey, ways at the same distance away from me as if to install fear into me or to tire me out until I give up. No way I can give up, I can't!

Something wrapped around my leg, I screamed, but it lifted me up, slamming me across the roof and flinging me more down the hall, I hit the floorboards hard, hearing a few cracks and broken boards coming undone. I cough as I get back up, all I'm running on is pure adrenaline.

My head pulsed, I rubbed my temple, and when I felt something wet on my head, I looked at my hand to see crimson leaking from my forehead. Shit, that's gonna give me a concussion!

But I kept running, it would swipe at me every now and then, sending me hitting a wall or the ceiling. Each time I got slower, limping more and more.

This was getting old, like a nightmare you had over and over every night. I can't escape it, and I felt like I could pass out any moment.

I suddenly stop clean in my tracks, the floorboards in front of me destroyed, below only lay darkness, not knowing where the abyss lead. I felt my chest tighten in fear, as I turned to see the shadow about three feet away from me, it's arms going around me and starting to stab into my skin.

I screamed in pain, it crawled into my ears and chest, sending a cold and stabbing pain through my body, making me feel weak. My body felt heavy, like I'd been swimming in my clothes.

I can't die here! I can't! I have so much I want to do, like graduation, and finish my club, to get married, to get a job! No! I can't!

Tears formed into my eyes as the shadow devoured my soul, not my body, trying to suck it out like a vacuum. I look behind me, into the abyss. It's about time I let the darkness in...

I crawl to the edge, the shadow stopping to see what I was doing. I smile as I fling myself over the edge. "Sorry... guys."

I fell into an abyss of darkness that lead to only... nothing.

...

When I opened my eyes, I was in my living room. I blinked, as if it might not be real, my siblings ran around, playing with their toys. Wait, the I not this young- whoa!

I'm surprised to see I'm a kid again, back when I was around nine years old! I can't believe this, was that whole life a dream? I can't believe that, Amon's real! Izumi is real! Even that bastard Nori has to be real!

Right?

I feel a pit of sadness... but a voice kicks me back into gear. A voice with a funny tone of sarcasm and kindness, sounding close to a cat.

"Dinner is ready, you little rascals!" The girls voice said.

I quickly turn, seeing her face behind me, smiling a bright smile that illuminated the entire room. Her brown hair curled at the ends, her hazel eyes warm and inviting. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug.

"What's wrong, Yuu? You look lonely!" She said.

I couldn't speak, but I blushed rapidly. "G-Get off me!" I murmured.

She laughed and made her way back into the kitchen. I follow quickly, not wanting her to get out of my site. I watched her every movement, not missing a glimpse.
