Kana gave Grace a quick glance then turned back to me, "Hugo… you don't know this but you had quite a reputation, most guys hated you because most girls wanted you. Alice once playfully told us to make a club so we did, it's unofficial but it did exist. I lead the club with Grace second in command, we weren't allowed to talk to you unless you approached us first or unless we had the intention to ask you out," Kana explained.
I just looked at her dumbfounded, "why did you hide then, you acted like you didn't know me when I saw you yesterday?"
Kana curled her silver locks in one finger before she answered "well… I just couldn't believe it was you and tried to keep my emotions in check… I let everything out inside my head."
I was still trying to process everything but didn't let it show for the most part with the occasional spacing. Kana was weird but I didn't realize that there were others like her, suddenly I remembered something she said, "why did you hide from me then, if I approached you then it was within your right to speak to me?"
Kana tried to avoid the question by turning to look out the window but I gave her a little tap on the shoulder. She looked at me and blushed, "well I know I have some weird kinks and I was afraid you wouldn't accept me because of them." She answered.
I was about to respond but my head began to spin, my vision blurred and I got confused. Kana and Grace started panicking yelling a name.
*Those were the good old days, I had fun… I'll bring them back*
I was hearing a very familiar voice, it filled me with sadness, tears began to run down my pale cheeks. My head stopped spinning, my vision cleared. Kana and Grace were staring at me with concern filling every fiber of their being.
"Hugo, what's wrong?" Grace finally asked.
*Who's Hugo… wait that's right*
My confusion slowly dissipated, I looked at both of them still a little out of it.
"Sorry, I just got a little dizzy" I managed to utter.
*Kill them now, do it, kill them and you will be free*
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Kana and Grace looked at me in alarm.
The world around me was tainted with blood, head splitting screams erupted from the earth as it crumbled like ash, the sky was filled with souls begging to be released from this hell. My mind couldn't take it, I searched for something to cling onto… something to pull me out of this nightmare, I searched for Grace and Kana but couldn't find them. There they are, Kana's lips were tinted in a dark crimson as blood rushed from between her teeth, her heart was pounding in the center of my palm. I cried wishing for it to end, tempted to squeeze the heart with all my might but didn't. Grace sat in her seat, her throat squirting out blood like a fountain, her eyes once beautiful now cold and lifeless.
I heard my name being called… no my names being called by a strange voice then blank.
I woke up next to Kana who laid me down in her bare lap, she seemed to change out of her clothes she was wearing earlier. Kana was asleep leaning against a bed post. I then realized that some time had passed by but not sure how much. I heard someone walking towards the bedroom doors, someone small. Before I knew it Grace came bursting in with a popsicle in her mouth which woke Kana. I pretend to be asleep because what I saw was still weighing on my mind.
"Kana, did he come back to life yet?" Grace asked.
Kana looked at me and shook her head prompting me to raise my hand up high which spooked Kana.
"Hugo, when did you come to?" Kana inquired.
I just buried my head deeper in Kana's lap and tried to say something but nothing came out. I then realized I wasn't breathing and my heart wasn't pumping. I took a deep breath and said "about five minutes ago." I suddenly felt my blood start pumping and my body began to gradually heat up. I felt like I was becoming more dead by the day but didn't admit that to the girls.
Kana looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated so Grace said something in her stead, "Hugo, what happened?"
Flashes of the things I saw hit me like a truck. I dug my head even deeper in Kana's lap, any futher and I'd be between her legs.
Kana and Grace took the hint and verbally backed off. Kana grabbed me and pulled me up to her chessed then laid down on her back. I felt like I was on a road where I lose everything when I reach the end. I couldn't bear the thought and hugged Kana tightly, she squirmed until I released some pressure.
Grace came up beside me then began petting my hair like she would a child. Although a simple gesture, it comforted me to no extent. At this moment I felt safe from that voice.
My face was buried in Kana's chest which made me tired but I couldn't fall asleep. I was finally ready to talk, "how long was I out" I simply asked.
Kana was surprised but still answered, "about 3 months."
My eyes rose in surprise but Grace gave Kana a glare, "don't listen to her, you were only out for about 9 hours" she corrected.
I let out a sigh of relief, "I've experienced a nightmare twice now, both times everyone close to me is dead… and I'm the one who kills them" I explained. I took a deep breath before continuing, "a voice kept telling me to kill Kana the first time and the second time it told me to kill both of you, it forces me to see me holding your beating heart in the palm of my hand."
Kana and Grace laid there silently for what felt like an eternity but Grace broke the silence, "does the voice only appear during those episodes?"
I shook my head and explained, "it's not in my head, I always hear it… it's just more clear during those 'episode' but if I completely cancel all noise around me like I did once before I can't hear it at all, I recorded it too but no one else seems to hear it."
Grace looked at Kana for confirmation and Kana nodded. At this point we were just trying to figure out who's voice it is.
I remembered something and continued telling them what I know, "when I killed myself and was taken to the hospital I saw the face that the name belonged to and a few other things. There was this shining ball with two words written on it that I had the feeling that they were my names, it said ----- and ------."
My eyes widened when I realized I couldn't tell them, they were confused by it too but not as confused as me. I tried again but it wasn't coming out like I hoped it would. I had more questions than ever but at least I knew one thing, any thoughts that I was crazy have left their heads. They could have accused me of faking it but the noises exiting my mouth weren't something a human can do, they sounded like high pitch static.
