Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Episode 1

6 assignments! Might sound like a small amount, but it's not when the deadline is tomorrow and you're realizing it at 3 in. the. freaking. morning.

Why don't I just fucking die? It's not that hard, right!?

However, life wasn't ready to face an all-nighter right after the camp. I usually like camps. Dad, always us took camping on the weekends, after he passed away it was our first camp. Never knew you can even camp in Texas. Well, it's the second most populated state in the US, people must've figured out something to do about camping and that is what scares me, people scare me. As to the first night of camping till today, was someone really following me? Isn't it too stupid to assume such things that most possibly would not happen? But I surely saw someone or perhaps I kept hallucinating everywhere I go. Wouldn't mind doing that, going insane. At least I can get rid of my 'duties' by that. It's not that useless to think about it, the feeling of being watched all the time, still when I'm writing it through my journal. No doubt I indeed am being watched. "Try to convert your mind" they say. Like it's not a serial killer chasing me but a guardian archangel. A guardian archangel? Seriously though? That'll be lame, I really rather get killed by a serial killer than get the guard. Still, who would be so obsessed with me? I look like a depressed kid. Is it bad though? Can't get any lover. Who wants a lover? What if they turn out to be a serial killer!? Not me a psychological horror stan, think like a normal person? Or just leave it, back to the introduction!

Me, Kou Katsuki, it's spell Kat-ski, not Cat Suki and Ku not Cow. We, me and my family of my mother, her fiancee and my younger sister, young as 7, I envy her life! Anyways we came here, Texas, in the fall of 2018. It's been almost a year, still, everything's quite unknown... just like my English vocabulary, it's really short... unlike my height.

Our family follows Jain, no wonder why. I grew up in Miyagi, where I believe had strict rules like any other Eastern Asian school. Some things were seen as a crime, like breaking any sort of rules, disobeying elders, sensei or senpai. "Invading privacy" term we consider in the rule of disciplining ourselves in front of elders. And that became the thing I most hate about States, what they consider as bullying, invade other's properties just because your more powerful or elder. I had my interest in crime stories, browsing where I found out about the 'Night Stalker' the name itself was scary. Mom tried to convince me that it's just a bad representation of States and it's nothing like that. Well surely it's nothing like that... it didn't remain my belief.

"Mr Katsuki, you seemed to be stressed out lately" Ms Sarah, you know the teacher everyone loves.

"Uhh Yeah- Miss, what do you call the feeling of being watched?"

"Sixth sense possibly"

"Maybe something that sounds more epic?"

She let a soft giggle "Scopaesthesia perhaps"

That Scorpio Asia thing! No doubt I've been feeling that lately!

I left the class the class as soon as it ended to reach the library. Got few books to return. It's pretty silly, I found a book that looked similar. Turns out my grandfather wrote that. More than anything, the book's oddly good. Never knew I had such great and talented descendants. All great people are born into one family. How bizarre.

Library's quite huge, that's probably the only thing I like about high school. Besides the enormous 4 metres shelves, it had 6 to 8 computers in the ICT section, which is at the end of the library, pretty dark and moist, possibly dam from the rain last year when the big windows broke from the air pressure.

Sit, open the computer, you don't need to care about anything you boke Kou.

It was taking a while to open the browser so I went searching for some books I need for history class. Out of nowhere, I know I just saw it! The short black locks with a quite unusual red outfit it's not the only unusual thing about her but those... long wings, just like a raven. Hovering over the library window, blacking out the sun, flew in the spread of light. Maybe just an imaginary sight, from the corner of my eyes, I know it's the same thing I've been seeing. Doubt it's a girl or I just prefer calling it 'it'. Stupid, I know.

'Psychic staring effect' 'The psychic staring effect is a supposed phenomenon in which humans detect being stared at by extrasensory means'

Huh? That's all?

It's a thousand times better if I just leave now, I'm shaking out fear and school's hospitalization sucks. Walked to my house was like 15 to 20 minutes away, but 10 to 15 if you take the route to the local market, it's just too populated.

It's totally fine, she won't come if surrounded by traffic. Just keep your head down. Walking through this many people wasn't the best idea though. I couldn't be so sure if someone's following around that crowd. Until the very end of the market, it's just 5 minutes of walk. I can feel my heart rate increase as I can clearly say someone was behind me. I know the way, have perfect working legs- Flash? Who?

I ran 2 kilometres per second. First time I get inside with my shoes on, ashamed and scared at the same time. My room didn't felt safe enough, even it was on the second floor, I went for the bathroom. Washed my face to get rid of the nauseous feeling, I'm tired to that point that I started to gasp for breath. Look up in the mirror, a horror ran down my veins as the time stopped.

The same girl with wings like a raven. Just like the character from that novel.
