Disturbing Scenes Up Ahead…
“I can’t lie it’s kind of scary out here.” Said miguno in a worried tone.
You all snuck your way up on the roof in the middle of the night, the school has no security last time you checked so you should be fine.
“No need to be scared, what do you think is going to happen anyways?” Jack asked.
“I don’t know? Maybe some weird goblin is gonna crawl up this building and kill me!”
Say what you want, it’s a valid concern.
You peaked over the edge of the building. “Nope, no goblins.”
Legoshi held onto your waist, you were a little too close to the edge and it worried him.
Durham looked up at the dark sky. “So what are we just gonna stand here and do nothing? Can we at least lay somewhere?”
“Lay were your standing at you big baby.”
“But it’s cold Y/N!”
“Bro… Cuddle your boyfriend then I don’t know what to tell you!”
Collot came over to the edge with you. “Imagine if I just jumped.”
You glared at collot menacingly. “Well… Who’s gonna stop you?”
“Ouch! Dick move Y/N, very dick move. You’re not even gonna stop me?”
“Nope.”
Collot nervously laughed, miguno was busy chasing a firefly while Jack and Durham laid on the floor.
Legoshi rested his head in between your ears. “I told you it’s beautiful out here….”
“You ain’t gotta say that twice.”
Collot grew jealous as usual.
“Legoshi… I wish Voss was here right now.”
You quickly glanced at collot secretly trying to see what his reaction was, collot was fidgeting with his hands.
“Me too Y/N, I just hope he is happy… Wherever he is.”
Collot started tapping his foot. “Man it’s getting cold isn’t it? ” he says, attempting to change the subject.
“Hey collot, do you think Voss is somewhere out there?” You asked.
“Y-Yep yeah he definitely is! Alrighty I’m gonna g-go talk to miguno!”
Collot ran off, he is not good with being under pressure.
Legoshi held you closer to him. “Weird…”
“I know right?”
“Collot go away! This is my firefly! ” miguno hissed.
Your stomach started to rumble, you needed to use the bathroom really bad.
“Legoshi, let go I gotta go shit.”
“O-Oh sorry, Should I come?”
“No I’m fine with being alone.”
Legoshi gave you a thumbs up.
“Alright everyone I’ll be right back! Don’t go anywhere!”
And with that you jogged to the restroom that was inside the school.
”Shit shit shit shit shit…”
You did your business inside the bathroom, granted you almost blew up the toilet but it’s all good. The halls were dark, and that hissing sound slowly started to come back.
“Sssssssss”
Why was it following you? What did it want? It was up in the vents that’s for sure.
“Alright who is that?! Get out of the vents you weirdo! And why are you following me everywhere I go?!”
The hissing stopped, all could be heard was the ruffling sounds in the vents. You started walking again, the roof wasn’t far and you were almost at your destination.
“Hey kid!”
You kept walking, whoever was calling you clearly wanted your attention.
“Y/N!”
You didn’t listen, big mistake. The hissing came back, something was pulling you by the legs. Causing you to fall on your face.
“Ow!”
You turned around on your back. “Holy shit! A snake? Wait… So that’s what the hissing sound was?”
“I don’t go by ‘snake’ my name is Rokume!”
“Yeah, and my name is LET ME THE FUCK GO!”
You started kicking your legs in the air, nothing was working. Rokume’s grip was too tight.
“Stop trying Y/N and calm down…”
You relaxed your legs. “What do you want from me exactly? Your not gonna eat me whole are ya?”
Rokume smiled. “Of course not, I just need to talk to you. It’s about Voss and Tem, do those two ring a bell?”
“Ok but can you please let go first? This hurts!”
“Sure, but don’t do anything stupid! You do know that I’m the only security guard here right?”
“Yeah yeah yeah ok cool dude now let go.”
She unwrapped her body from your legs, a waive of relief went through you.
“Now… I have some questions…”
You stood up slowly. “Ok go ahead and ask them.”
“Oh not here, someone might hear, go on my back.”
You walked behind her. “Are you sure? I might fall…”
“Then hold tight.”
You climbed on her back, and without any warning she slithered away. “Slow down damn! I’m gonna fall off! Where are you even taking me?!”
“I think you know where!”
“I really don’t!”
What would legoshi think about all of this? Maybe he should have came after all. Rokume didn’t slow down once, and for a snake she’s pretty damn fast.
Realization started to kick in when you saw tem’s memorial, she took a dead stop right at it.
“You can get off now.”
You jumped off of her, in the most dramatic way possible. “I think I’m gonna puke-”
“Well don’t please, that’s gross.”
“Wow thanks rocum or whatever the hell your name is.”
“It’s rokume!”
You smirked. “Rocum rokume same thing!”
She started to hissed.
You backed away. “Alright alright I get it… Now what do you want? I have some friends that I need to get back to!”
“Well I looked into your files… And I found some information on your family and your background.”
“Ok? And?”
“And then something caught my attention, Micheal…”
What did she need exactly? What was her point? You started to question why she was even looking into your background in the first place.
You crossed your arms and laid back into a wall. “Get to the point.”
“Have you ever thought that Micheal and tem look alike?”
You looked over at tems picture… “Yeah I guess they do, but why does it matter?”
“Y/N… You seriously don’t know… Do you?”
“Know what?”
She took off her hat. “It’s a long story, and I’m sure you know the half of it.”
“Yeah, my mom saved Micheal from getting killed. He was lost in a forest when she found him.”
“… There’s more to it…”
——
THE INCIDENT…
“Read me a bed time story tem! Please!” Micheal pleaded.
Tem rubbed his eyes, he was too tired. “Ugh… Ok fine Micheal…”
Micheal held his hands up in the air. “Yay!”
Tem came over to Michael’s bed, sitting next to his younger brother. “Ok… Well once upon a time there were these two animals.”
“What were their names?”
“Um… One’s name was Ren, and the other was named Aki. Ren was a German Shepherd, while Aki was a grey wolf.”
Micheal listened very closely…
Tem was thinking of a story to make up… “Aki was a very shy wolf, and he had a crush on Ren for awhile but could never tell him.”
“Wait they are both boys?”
“Yes, they are both boys. And they lived in the same dorm room.”
“Did they have friends?”
Tem chuckled. “Yes in fact they did.”
“Well… What happened to them?” Micheal asks, getting more into the story.
“One day Aki accidentally bit Ren, Ren was very angry… And he demanded answer’s on why Aki would do such a thing! He threatened to tell the whole school about what he did if he didn’t get answer’s!” Tem got closer to Micheal. “And then… Aki confessed his feelings for Ren right there! Right on the sidewalk! Then… They kissed.”
Micheal hugged tem. “Yay!”
“Ha ha ha, ohhhh Micheal. You are just silly sometimes.”
Micheal laid back down. “One more! One more!”
Tem got up and walked to the door. “Tomorrow Micheal ok? I gotta sleep!”
“Ok… Promise?”
“I promise. Now sleep!” Says tem as he shuts Micheal’s door.
Micheal drifted away…
A couple hours later…
Micheal woke up in the middle of the night feeling hungry, he lazily got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen. But as he was walking down some stairs he saw the front door, someone was trying to get in.
Micheal slowly made his way to the door, a tall figure could be seen from the top window of the door.
“Hey kid it’s the uh… Delivery guy! Open up! ”
Micheal being a kid, decided to listen to the man and open the door. As soon as the door opened the man put a plastic bag around micheal’s head. Strangling him and clawing him.
“Gah- quit fighting with me!”
Micheal didn’t listen, he kicked, punched, scratched, and sometimes screamed. Micheal felt heavy, he was losing consciousness…
“That’s it’s… Sleep… The boss would kill me if he found out that I was struggling-”
When the man wasn’t looking, Micheal stabbed him in the stomach with his horns.
“AGH! YOU DAMN KID!”
The man fell to the ground, holding his stomach in pain. Micheal ran outside not sure on what to do next.
There was a van parked right outside with people in it.
One of them stepped out. “What the? Hey get him!”
Micheal spotted the bike that he rode last night, he made a quick dash for it.
“Just like tem said… It’s easy…”
The gang of lions were close to him, Micheal peddled away. He was sobbing at this point, what did they want from him? What did he do? Micheal just woke up too, so he has a severe lack of energy.
The lions gave up trying to chase him, they checked up on their injured assistance. Micheal didn’t realize that they weren’t chasing him anymore, he just kept peddling.
Non stop, he didn’t know where he was. At this point Micheal is completely out of energy, he stopped near a forest to cool down for a moment.
“O-Ow… My chest…” He lifted his shirt up, his chest had claw marks on them.
As he was checking out his stomach he heard a car, he didn’t bother too see who it was… He ran right into the forest never turning back…
His legs felt heavy, his stomach was aching in pain, he had a massive headache. And on top of that he was still hungry.
Micheal fell on the wet grassy ground, groaning in pain. “AHHHHHHHH! OW! HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!!!”
He felt pathetic, and alone. All he could do was cry, knowing that this was how he was going to die… Micheal looked up to see a woman… Maybe just maybe… This was how he was going to be saved…
——
“Wait how do you know all of this?”
“The shishigumi, they did it. I know a lot Y/N..”
“Wha…. WHAT?!”
Rokume made a hissing sound. “Quiet down will ya? Just know that micheal’s real brother is tem.”
Your phone buzzed in your pocket. “Hold on rocum I gotta take this.”
“It’s rokume-“
“Shhh! Legoshi? Yes I’m fine I’m just talking to a friend…” You glared at rokume, you gave her a disgusted look. “I’ll be back in a bit! What? Miguno is doing backflips? Well tell him to be careful alright? What? Jack is joining in on it?!”
Rokume was losing her patience.
“Ok… I’ll be there soon legoshi I gotta go, love you~” you hung up. “Ok now what?”
“Meet me here again tomorrow night got it? I don’t want any interruptions!”
She slithered away up in the vents.
You cringed. “Ew! Why do you move like that?!”
“Shut up! ” she yelled from inside the vents.
You were left alone once again, tem was micheal’s real brother… The shishigumi… The thought of someone hurting your brother boiled your blood.
You growled. “I’m gonna fucking KILL them…”
