Chereads / Yukai Yandere / Chapter 9 - ***4 WEEKS Later***

Chapter 9 - ***4 WEEKS Later***

Four weeks have officially passed on since the last events. When the police arrived I explained everything about Yuka, without revealing the part about her being a rokurokubi. They took me in for questioning, and I put the investigation to a conclusion, considering me and Johnny gave rather similar stories. I talked to both Pete & Dann's families and explained everything to them. They were heartbroken but very receptive to me and even offered me to speak at their funeral services and take lead on the planning of it, considering I was rather close to them, but I decided my appearance was enough and I just wanted to be there at their gravesites to show support. I wanted to talk to Giulia's family but I decided since I never really got the chance to meet them, maybe it wasn't my place to do that; although I'm sure Giulia would have wanted me to, I just left them a letter of my condolences. I visited Giulia's gravesite at least five times before I left Japan, and I did hide behind the back at her funeral. Even as I left Japan, Giulia has been on my mind ever since. I wish I would have never allowed her to enter the house with that devil of a girl. I decided to take some time off of work, and just stay at home. I started taking therapy sessions and I have put a block on dating again for at least another year.

Johnny is back home with his girlfriend, and he's getting a new job. Although we aren't coworkers anymore we still stay in close contact with each other. I still can't even mentally process everything that took place, from the beginning to the end. I just knew looking at Yuka that morning on the train that our paths were destined to cross, I just never would have expected it to be in the format that it took place in. I honestly don't know what lies ahead for me, after all this I might just never fall in love again, and at this point in my life...I might just be okay with that. My name is Alex Rineheart, I fell in love with a yokai... a rokurokubi. She became my yandere, but in a way, even despite the pain she caused me and many others, I know she was a victim too. The predator hunts the prey, but after a while, the prey becomes a predator....themself.

THE END
