The Mystery and Our Destiny

File 1: Evil Spirits All Over?! (5)

Previously on Ghost Hunt:

"What is this, an indoor track meet?!" Housho asked, hearing the multiple footsteps.

"Does it matter? Do you want to stay and find out?" Mei-Lin told the older man. Her body was trembling once more feeling the malicious intent, it was suffocating her to the point she almost couldn't stand anymore. Everyone noticed the girl was growing pale once more and her body was trembling. This wasn't a good sign.

"Hey, it's too dangerous in here! Get outside!" Housho told everyone.

"R-Right, Mei-san, Kuroda-san, hurry!" Mai told the two. She quickly took both of their hands and started running for the entrance.

"Yeah..." Kuroda replied following the girl. Mei-Lin didn't reply and followed after the girls, barely managing to keep up. They were close to the entrance when one of the shelves started to fall over from the constant shaking in the building. Mei-Lin's eyes widened and with enough strength she pushed Mai out of the way, replacing her spot. With the last of her strength gone she collapsed to the floor holding her hands out to soften the impact of the shelf. There was a small tear in the corner of her eye as she squeezed them shut. At that moment only one name came to mind...

"Kazuya!!"

And like that, she faded into darkness

Where am I...? It's so dark... I wish the lights were on... and yet I feel so tired... Mei-Lin was laying down in a dark area with bright lights surrounding her. She felt as though she was about to fall asleep until a warm hand touched her forehead. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face above her. "Oliver...? You're back. I'm relieved..." Mei-Lin was about to close her eyes until she saw that familiar smile. Kazuya was not someone who would smile like that... there was only one person and he had the same face as him. "Eugene!"

Mei-Lin sat up and hugged him, burying her face in his chest as she felt her eyes tear up. "Stupid Gene, where are you?! Why did you have to-" Mei-Lin lightly pounded his chest as she started to cry but winced feeling her head hurt. It must have been when she got hit by the shelf, which meant she was still unconscious in the real world. Eugene gently set her down and patted her head.

"You should rest a little longer."

"I don't want to." Mei-Lin's eyebrow furrowed as she looked up at Eugene. She held his hand and tried to fight the urge to sleep. Eugene smiled softly as he watched his stubborn friend try to stay awake. She had so many questions and wanted to say so many things but that would have to wait.

"Still so stubborn. Rest. We'll see each other here soon..." The lights slowly began to dim away and all she saw was darkness but wanted to say at least one thing before she woke up.

"I miss you... Oliver and I both...miss you."

Monday, Day 5

Mei-Lin let out a small groan and woke up to see she was inside the van and covered with a blanket. She heard the voices of the others and saw they stepped away a bit to discuss their current circumstances. Kuroda had already left leaving only Ayako, Housho, John, and a once unconscious Mai there. After Mei-Lin was hit with the shelf, Housho pushed it off her and carried her out of the building only for Mai to get hit by a shelf herself, which resulted in Ayako and the others helping her out. The group could only wait anxiously for the two girls to wake up and fortunately, Mai was the first one to recover.
