Chapter 2: Bloodwater

“The key was left outside the basement?”

 

Ena seemed to be scared of the reason for this, and yet she said that they should try and go in today.

 

“I don’t know if going in when there could be a threat to our lives is smart…” Shiro coldly replied to Ena

 

“I…I know, b-but what about that girl..? What if she is being attacked o-or something l-like that… We should help her… just in case.”

 

“I’m still against it, but…” Shiro turned around to see behind her a large group of students from her class.

 

“I’ll stay out here in case something does happen, and because I still don’t trust it.”

 

“Ok, Kurono…” 

 

Shiro turned to the basement and pulled the handle, but it was locked. The door was only able to be locked from the outside due to damage on the inside from termites.

 

“Something’s really not right…”

 

Shiro grabbed out the key and unlocked the door. The stench of cleaning liquid came into the outside air, leading everyone else Shiro slowly walked down the stairs, as they approached the bottom she spotted a petite girl lying against the wall.

 

“Did she fall asleep?”

 

“Seriously, what was she thinking?”

 

The voices of Shiro’s classmates echoed through the room.

 

Shiro looked back behind her. “Wait…”

 

There was a red stain on the bottom stair, the room no longer only smelt of cleaning equipment.

 

“Is that… BLOOD!!?” One of the classmates screamed in fear and ran up the stairs.

 

“Surely not… right?” All of a sudden they were filled with fear, but Shiro started to walk towards the girl closely followed by a couple of her classmates. The girl had fully come into view but something was severely wrong. The middle of the girl's body appeared to be stitched together.

 

“Run…” Shiro heard one of the girls' voices trembling as the stitches on the body slowly started coming undone from top to bottom, blood started to leak out, the girl's brain fell onto the ground in front of Shiro. There were screams from the class, as the middle stitch came undone a large creature emerged from the body. It looked like an eel, its eye’s were completely white, and its entire body covered in scars and blood from the girl. The girl's bones had appeared to impale it, but it was still moving. It jumped out at Shiro, attempting to bite her face off but just as it began moving Kurono jumped down and pulled her away from the thing. 

 

“EVERYONE RUN!!” Multiple people were shouting this out, Kurono and Shiro ran to first stair, behind them was a guy who had been top of all athletic activities in there year, as he was running towards the exit the creature managed to catch up to him, his arm was bitten clean off, as he ran through the door Kurono and Shiro slammed it shut and looked it. The creature eventually stopped, presumably from the girl's bones impaling it. 

 

“What the fuck was that..?” There was fear in everyone’s eyes.

 

“I don’t think I’m going to make it…” It was the athletic student, where his arm would have been was leaking blood, he would die of blood loss soon. 

 

“Just bury me in that flower field on the mountain, arg fuck!, the one down the road from here…” There were tears in his eyes as his consciousness slowly faded away. 

 

Some were left in shock, others were crying, mourning the loss of the two students, some threw up or passed out at what they had just seen. Ena appeared to be completely frozen from shock, nobody talked for the next half an hour until…

 

“They’re dead… they’re just gone… h-how did this-'' One of the girls in the class began speaking, her voice shaking as she was wiping away tears. “Why did she… something must have… how… no… I-I-I don’t know…”

 

The next day no one showed up at school aside from Shiro, Ena, Kurono and Robert.

“This doesn’t make any sense, what was that thing? How was her body stitched up like that?” Shiro started speaking

“Didn’t you say there was a red stain outside her bedroom?” Robert asked Shiro.

 

“What if she was murdered then taken to the basement and the note was meant to make it look like she went there herself?” Kurono interjected.

 

“W-was the key put there by the m-murderer to lure us into b-being k-killed?” Ena’s voice was cracking with every word she said and her face had a terrified expression painted on it.

 

“But none of this explains the eel thing and how the stitches came undone as we approached it, is there even an explanation for something this bizarre?” 

 

“Shiro? You seem rather unaffected by this.”

 

“She’s not the most emotive of people, Robert. Even if something does really get to her, the most you’ll see is a slight smile or a few tears and even that’s quite rare.” Kurono defended Shiro. 

 

“Still who was the girl who was murdered?” Robert started talking again.

 

“Emilia, she was a decently popular girl with the guys in our school, sporty, smart and helpful to almost anyone she could be of use to.” Kurono responded.

 

“So who or whatever did this was trying to capture the attention of as many people as possible… Wait, something else feels off, I understand most not coming to school but why isn’t anyone else here, surely the school has one or two people in it aside from us who would come even after what just happened.” Shiro saw Ena start to go pale in response to what she had just said.

 

“Ena?”

 

“I feel sick…”

 

“It’s getting late anyway, we should head home for today” 

 

“I’ll walk with you and Ena.” Kurono grabbed his bag off his desk.

 

“I’ll tell you three if I come across anything!” Robert yelled out as he headed the opposite direction to the three.

 

“Just hang in there, Ena, we're almost at your place.” Shiro saw Ena’s house at the edge of the mirage.

 

“Should we stay with her in case she gets worse?”

 

“That probably would be best.” 

 

The three of them entered into Ena’s small two story home and laid her down in her bed. 

 

“Th-there’s another r-room, but it only h-has Cough a-a two person b-bed” 

 

“Don’t worry about it, we’re going to be fine.”

 

Kurono and Shiro closed Ena’s door and switched the light off.

 

“Were you serious about the bed?” Shiro tilted her head at Kurono.

 

“You’re not the kind of person who would be too bothered about it, plus it’s not like anything’s going to happen.” She felt slightly disappointed by that last statement.

 

“Goodnight” They said to each other and drifted off to sleep.
