Chapter 3 - The Devastating Call

Yuki slams the door behind her and starts running to her house. Halfway there she gets another call from her mom but it's an emergency call. She answers it.

Yuki: Mom what's wrong are you ok is dad ok, do you need me home?

Maria: Hunny, you know how you said that if your big brother was not coming home then you were going to stay at Daichi's place for a couple of weeks?

Yuki: Ya?

Maria: Then I would just stay at his for the night.

Yuki:(eyes full of tears) No.

She falls to the floor, crying with the phone still in her hand.

Yuki: How could this happen? How.

Maria: Hun you still there? Yuki!

Yuki:(still crying) Sorry mom, yes I am still her. I think I would like to sleep at Daichi's house.

Maria:That would be fine with me. Daichi's dad has all your clothing.

Yuki:( No there is no way, he cant be gone.

Maria: I'm so sorry hun but there is nothing we can do about it.

Yuki: I'm gonna spend the night at Daichi's house, Kami will be there too. I don't know if I'm coming back home tomorrow.

Maria: Ok you go.

Yuki:(squeezing her eyes closed) Bye mom.

Maria: Bye hun.

Maria hangs up. Yuki is still on the floor with her eyes closed tight. She then opens her eyes and stares straight at the floor with her eyes wide open like if she is scared. She is shivering. Tears filled her eyes as what just happened really hit her hard. She put one hand on her chest then shut her eyes and put her head on the floor.

Yuki: How could I let this happen. HOW. I'm so useless I can't do anything at all. NOTHING. And why I have no idea why I can't just save him. Whoever did this to him will die. Her eyes turn yellow for one second then lifeless.

She gets up, wipes away her tears, then walks back to Daichi's house, her eyes dark and lifeless.
