The room was dark and cold. A harsh and low voice kept whispering in my head. I fell asleep, yet I knew I woke up in the middle of the night panting, catching my breath, sweating, and finding words to speak and scream Hoji's name and ask for help.

The voice was making me go crazy. He kept whispering and whispering...

I quickly stood up, my neck feeling a bit numb and worn off. My body felt sour again, like earlier, but this time, it was worst. Tears kept on streaming down my cheeks. It's like the world had fell on me. My mind was blank, and all I can hear was that awful voice.

I clutched my blanket, my hands were shaking. I was all alone in my room and I can barely see a thing because no matter how hard I tried to open the lights, even my lampshade, It just won't click open.

I thought maybe there is a problem in the electricity. So I decided to force myself to stand up, and find the circuit breaker by myself.

I wipe my tears, my feet were wobbly and I felt helpless once again. The floor was cold and slippery. I almost fell but good thing I took hold of the cabinet.

I wanted to speak but something's preventing me. Maybe it's the silence.

I use the walls as my guide, My cheeks were still wet with tears and my eyes were bloodshot.

Voices... It kept whispering in my head. But their words were gibberish hushes and some of them sounds static.

"Make it stop..."I mumbled. These voices are gonna make me go insane...

I kept walking, and walking, Until I finally took hold of the cold doorknob.

I quickly turned the doorknob to my right and opened the door slowly.

The hallway, it was dark too... The difference is that it was more eerie and the atmosphere's heavy.

"What is this feeling..."I rubbed my eyes and stared at the long, dark hallway."Daigo...? Valt..? Honcho...? Shu...? Hoji...? Sujihara...?"

I mumbled, hoping for an answer that at least one of them are awake..."I'm not scared..!"

Yes, I'm scared... I am really scared... But hey! I'm... Denial about things! Isn't it obvious?..

I continued to walk, passing by my friends room one by one, until the only room left was the door to the attic. The circuit breaker was located in the attic... But... As I have told you, the attic was never opened.

I still don't have the slightest idea why on earth am I the one doing this instead of Hoji or Sujihara. But I guess it's better to see the attic myself.

I tried to find that emergency flashlight around the attic door and pick it up so I could see the stuffs lurking in my house I mean, the entrance key...

As I turned the light on, a weird figure came crawling pass me. It was heading towards the living room.

"Ahhh! What the heck was that?!"I shrieked, leaning against the door so I could feel a bit protected. I searched the hallway, trying to find more weird figures around the area.

"S..should I follow that thing?"I thought, glancing at the doorknob of the attic, and my living room."why is this house so big anyway!"

I did some stretching so I could get myself fit for some stuffs inside my house.. And probably that crook who broke in.

"Maybe the attic could wait..."I shrugged, picking up a long pole to hit that crook later on.

I decided to head down the living room so I could check if the door was left open.

I descended down the staircase, my heart was throbbing faster and faster every time I ventured down the living room. It was a bizarre feeling.

Voices. It became louder than before. Their words were starting to be clear and understandable moment by moment.

"Y...r.... E....d.... Y......c......s...c.....e....y.....r......f....r.....n....... A..... D......d...... Y....u......... D.... Them." The voices whispered. Yet I cannot fully understand what they're trying to say...

"7 years ago."It whispered again.

The voices, the letter, it was as if they're connected or something. Yet no matter how hard I tried to recall what happened 7 years ago, I still can't.

"Wakiya?"A voice called. A feeling of relief finally gets through me. I was about to leave the stairs and descend down the living room when Shu Kurenai called me.

"Shu! I'm glad you're here—I mean, why are you still awake?"I pointed the flashlight at him, he still kept that straight-face demeanor of him.

"Well I was about to ask you that but... Is the electricity out?"Shu asked, looking around the room.

"You could say that.. I was about to head to the attic to check the circuit breaker because maybe that's the problem."I sighed, approaching Shu afterwards.

Should I tell him there's a crook in the house?

Maybe I shouldn't... They might get worried or something.

"Should I come with you to check things?"That's a great IDEA! Of course! You can come with me! I'm scared of venturing in the dark. I might see entities that can scare me to death. So maybe you can be my company.

"Well I wanted to say no but since you insists, okay."I rolled my eyes, picking up the keys hidden inside the flower pot.

"Alright."Shu uttered.

I unlocked the door to the attic, and a cold burst of wind brings me chills down my spine. Goosebumps, and a feeling of light-headedness.

"Did you feel that?"I asked, turning to Shu who seems to look a bit different from earlier.

"Feel what...?"He raised his head and looked at me—

"s...Shu?!"My eyes widened, his eyes were pure black, his cheeks were stained with blood, and he was smiling creepily."sh**. Sh**!!"

He was holding a knife. I quickly dashed inside the attic,"GET AWAY FROM ME!"What's going on?! Why are things getting weirder and weirder..

"Y....o.....r.... Friends...... W....... ...i....l... Y....ou...."The voice seems to be my guide...

I can feel his footsteps chasing after me, my heart felt like it could jump out of my chest. This isn't right... I have to find the circuit breaker fast and maybe he could be gone!

That's not Shu.. Shu can't do that to me...
