Keitaro Nagame x Hunter Springfield

Chapter 17

{Hi! I'm feeling a little better so enjoy the chapter! It's mainly going to focus on a nightmare Hunter has!^^}

{Hunter's POV}

I walked down the stairs and saw nobody down there, not even Keitaro. His parents and sister were nowhere either and I began to worry. I put my hand on my stomach and felt myself walking to break down in tears. It didn't only make me worry, but it scared me. I was scared something bad had happened to them!

I walked into the kitchen and the sight I saw; it was unsightly...it was so grotesque...so nauseating and most importantly, extremely awful to look at.

I saw...I saw Keitaro. He was lying on the kitchen floor in a puddle of his own sickly red blood. He looked like he had been killed so mercilessly...he had stab wounds on his thighs, a deep knife wound on his stomach and he had a deep cut down his face.

I didn't know I was screaming, and I didn't know what I was witnessing. I rushed over to his side, trying to shake him awake, hoping he was alive but just unconscious.

Don't be stupid, Hunter. There's no way he was able to survive all of that. He must be dead, as much as I didn't want to admit it.

I got up from the floor and rushed out the kitchen so I no longer had to see such a sight. I leaned against the living room wall, gripping my chest as my breaths came out quickly paced. I knew I was having a panic attack, but I didn't know how to stop it.

Until I walked over to the couch. There, o saw something else. Something just as awful.

Kaede...

Kaede was lying against the coffee table opposite the couch and tv. She had been hit across the head with a blunt instrument and it looked like she had been strangled by something...that was because she had marks around her neck, some areas even blue, purple, some even bleeding...

I walked over and felt for a pulse, my heart stopping when I felt nothing. I felt even more alone now, my mother figure now gone. Someone who said they'd treat me like their own and protect me from my parent; gone. Someone I had now had a strong bond with; gone.

I slowly stood up, mt legs shaking from the pain I felt inside me and the overwhelming sorrow that overtook my helpless body.

I walked outside in the backyard, checking for a place to calm my nerves and maybe even forget for a while about what happened. But I saw something else...something that again, made me want to scream and cry.

I saw Kaelyn...

Kaelyn was lying, like Keitaro, in a pool of her own sickly red blood. But she...she was killed so brutally. She had been hit on the back of the head with what looked like an axe, judging by the gnash he had on the back of her head...and it looked like she had been hit with the same axe over and over again on her stomach. Her eyes were still open and her mouth wide. I hesitantly closed her eyes and mouth and stood up, walking away and back upstairs. What the heck was going on?!

I thought I'd see his dad but... I didn't. He had died a few years ago and I remember Keitaro telling me that. But...I couldn't help but feel myself wanting to scream and cry louder than I had ever before.

I had started to cry but without my knowledge, I started laughing maniacally and I looked into my room. And I saw...all the weapons used...in MY room. They were all covered in a sickly red color, making me cover my mouth and stop with my crazed laughter...it was me...I killed them.

I dropped to my knees and let out a scream, most likely screaming outside this nightmare.

“Hunter..”
“Hunter...”
“Hunter...!”
“Hunter!!”

{Theirs Person POV}

Hunter woke up and was embraced in a tight hug by Keitaro. All his fears spirit leaving his body as this happened and he tightly hugged him back with a small smile, tears somewhat dreaming down his pale cheeks. He never wanted to dream like that's again...

It wasn't....implying anything, was it...?
