Suddenly!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Heard some footsteps, seems like those steps approaching her slowly.
Right at the moment when she turned around, some shadow crossed speedily on her back.
Argh gasped her breath, turned back in scare, and followed the shadow slowly. The path leads to the other end of the hallway.
She followed slowly and saw a person crouching at the edge and murmuring
"Hik – Hik"
"Hik – Hik"
--Watashitachi wa anata ga doko e iite mo soshite saisai ga kuru toki wa itsu demo anata o foro shimasu—
He was saying something in a different language, which Luna didn't understand. Anyhow sitting all alone in the corridor at cold night time, is not good for his health, caring Luna asked him to go to his room
But, there is no response from him.
She tried to touch him so, stepped forward.
Hush..! "Howl..!" (Wind blows)
Right at the moment, a thin cold air passed right from her behind
She startled again, turned back.
Again heard some sounds.
But she ignored and turned around to the boy sitting in the corner to ask him to leave! But the place was empty.
Seems like he left after all - Luna thought and moved away.
Turning back again she heard some sounds.
Argh..! What a strange place, people won't sleep at night? Or what? Will roam here at night?
Looking here and there, knitted her eyes to see a couple of people at the edge of the hall
In this dark, she can only hear those murmur sounds except the persons clearly
[What is the hardest way to kill?]
[How to kill with eternal pain?]
[She has to suffer equally] The words are repeating.
Who are you? Luna's voice resonated.
As she was closing the gap between them and her, their murmuring noise is wearing off. She walked near, but none was found.
Huff-huff.
However, she thought she started to hallucinate things. Me! Luna gone mad or seriously ill due to an accident? After having thoughts of herself, she suddenly felt that something was on her shoulder. Ahh startled and frozen due to fear. For a second her heartbeat skipped.
Turned side and hoped to see a person
But she was completely wrong!
Nobody there!
As she was moving ahead, touching the wall with her index finger and drawing some lines, and walking alongside it, suddenly she felt as though as cold hands grasped her neck and squeezing hard, Luna trying hard to release from its choking, used her whole strength got released from it. She was in fear, closed her eyes took a few deep breaths "just hallucinating", "just hallucinating", I am hallucinating Luna, she whispered to herself again and again.
Her pulse was racing and all she could do was take deep breaths, again and again, her hands were trembling continuously.
"Huff-huff"
"Huff-huff"
A similar creep feeling crept into her body, the temperature in the hall decreasing even more drastically, her body started to lose her warmness, her hands and feet's started to freeze-dry, she realized she was not alone. So, wanted to switch on the lights, as she was about to move back, saw a shape in the cold fog.
She adjusted her vision and she saw a group of people with torment eyes staring at her fiercely.
[I don't think I could live such a harrowing life]
[I don't think I could live such a harrowing life]
Group of people began to plead the same thing repeatedly, while stretching their hands began to walk towards Luna passed from inside her, out of fear she panted heavily, me! Luna, hearing their voices, I can see them and in addition to this, I can feel their presence too?
Have I gained any super-natural power?
Argh! She realized she wasn't Hallucinating!
She holds her chest tightly, with a sign of courage, planned to go back to her room silently. While returning she heard some breathing near her ears, aren't you wondering? Someone whispered. The voice was terrifying. She swallowed, Luna's eyes remained fixated on the floor, her face still facing forward taking heavy breaths.
I will kill you, his hellhound voice sends shivers, and Luna trembling all over her body as she almost fainted in fear. She couldn't hear anything but the loud pounding of her heartbeat. She couldn't even turn her head to take a peek at his voice.
She ran as fast as she can
The only thing she wants is to move far away from this vicious voice.
Bumped into a person, who is tall enough as well, she clung to him tightly and rubbed his body. She hasn't relaxed until she found him warm. and fallen unconsciously it seems like she held her leftover strength till she confirm she was safe.
Help me!
These are the words that came out of her mouth and fainted in his arms.
Aah!
Luna woke up from her bed gasping for breath as she just dreamt of something extremely horrible. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her back was completely drained as she was running throughout the whole night. She touched her heart, she felt her heart racing still.
Ha-ha What the hell?
This orphanage is just like the ones depicted in Horror - novels.
Initially, she thought everything goes smooth, later realized there is a lot of bumps in her way. Looks like she had overthought it. She hasn't expected that one night here, will be long enough to fear her with a single nightmare in sleep.
This was too much even for a dream, huff-huff taking deep breaths she calmed herself in minutes, but her whole body is sore, she decided to take some more rest and fall back on the bed to sleep. While closing back her eyes.
Wait!
I bumped into a person last night, who is he? I can oddly remember his body warmness! Her face turned red recalling him. Jumping on her bed with all excitement. she saw" Yu" who sat on the desk reading a book in his hand. The strange thing is he is even more attractive in his reading glass, their eyes matched.
Seconds turned into minutes, Luna didn't even know what she was expecting from him, and both of them stared together as time paused. Luna was lost in trance but was immediately jolted back to the present when she heard. "Hey"
So hey! you are Luna, right?
"Hey" to whom did he refer? Luna thought
Hey, "Luna" are you deaf?
Luna blinked when she heard those words. Huh? Me? Ha..! Yes, how do you know my name?
A small smirk appeared on his lips- It nothing special to guess with your round head
She covered her mouth in disbelief.
A new person? Oh I forgot navy mentioned another person right, he is it
What is this?
In our first meet itself, he started mocking my physic
Throwing all the nonsense aside, she climbed down from her bed.
"Oh" right I need to go somewhere"
Navy, who is tying a ribbon to her hair, heard it and asked. Where?
I need to use the restroom she whispered
What? Be sounder, Navy said
I need to use the restroom- it's emergency Aah**
I will instruct you, can't give accompany.
So, step out, take right, walk 20 meters, then turn left and take "U-turn at the end, walk for 10 steps. There you will find it replied navy with a smile on her face. Can I repeat for you?
No, I am in a hurry, don't always wear a cute smile on your face. See you she shouted and left the room in a hurry.
Luna thought she can manage the way until she found herself lost in this huge castle
She still managed to find the way to her destination, though it took some time to reach.
She entered the bathroom.
Ha! I am relieved ^-^`
So happy, feels like I am flying
After a few minutes, she came out, stood in front of the washbasin looking at the mirror completely filled with dust, walked near and rubbed the dust with her palms, and turned on the knob of the tap, to wash her dirty hands. Upon hearing the gushing sound of water, she suddenly recalled her scary nightmare.
Putting away those thoughts. she pulled open a drawer which was attached to the cupboard on her left side of the wall, took out a piece of soap and washed her face under the cool tap water, later took one of the old towels hanging on threads, Rubbed her face, checking herself in the mirror.
Her pale face and blank red eyes were relaxed, Keeping the towel in its old position, while stretching her whole body, to feel out energetic. At that moment, she knitted her brows and recalled a possible problem. It's almost breakfast time, she has to run back to her dorm, if she misses the line and the warden notice that, that's it Luna has to suffer a bit more of her punishments.
She ran back to her room in hurry.
