Dream *001*
Keiichi walked casually into his house, bat in hand after exploring a bit. He closed the door behind him and barely took three steps when he heard something
There are footsteps again. Something is definitely here…
Being careful, Keiichi stayed still, tightening his grip on his bat.
Th-that’s ridiculous there’s no one following or behind me…
Although he said that to himself, he couldn’t but feel unsure so he looked down at the floor carefully.
There aren’t any shadows but mine. There’s no way anyone’s here.
…There’s no way anyone’s here…So why do I feel like someone’s watching me?
Keiichi was now starting to get paranoid. He was sure he had heard something.
…Just what is behind me? If I turn around now, I might find found out.
His eyes widen as if in sudden realization to where that thought would lead to next.
But if no one is behind me…Will I be REALLY able to accept that…?
Building what courage he has left, he got himself to say something.
“Wh-who’s there…?”
As if answering him he heard someone breathing behind him.
Something IS there. Something…is after me!!!
Overwhelmed with sudden fear, Keiichi spun around bat in both hands crying out in absolute terror. He swung with all of his might only to find that his bat didn’t hit anything but some boxes on a near by shelf.
There’s…Nothing here…
Thinking quickly, he locked the door and dead bolted it just to make sure. Feeling the adrenaline starting to slowly leave him, he took a long awaited deep yet shaky breath as he tried to calm himself down.
What was that just now? There was no one near me. But I could’ve sworn there was something behind me. I heard footsteps and breathing. They’re not here, but they are here…That’s impossible…
As if out of no where, a thought occurred to him.
“Can it really be Oyashiro-sama’s curse…?”
Ooishi-san definitively said that there is no such thing as a curse…That’s right. There’s no such thing as paranormal phenomena like curses.
Feeling the last of the adrenaline leave him, Keiichi fell to his knees easily still recovering from what just happened, filled with self doubt.
“…But I’m sure…I heard footsteps…”
Was it all my imagination? Have I gone crazy?
At that thought he laughed.
Actually, it would be so nice if I was the crazy one, and the murders, the curse, and my friend’s drastic changes were all illusion. If it’s just that something’s wrong with me…Then the curse doesn’t exist, and Rena and the others are still some of the best friends I could ask for…
Too much was going through his head leaving him with more questions and no answers at all. Frustrated and confused Keiichi ran his hands through his hair with his eyes completely shut as if that’d make him stop.
“I don’t know what’s what anymore! I don’t care if it’s Oyashiro-sama or anyone else…Just give me my old life back…”
[Keiichi’s eyes snap open and he sits up, seeming pretty unfocused he doesn’t notice his Dreamberry is on.]
Just what kind of nightmare was that? Besides there’s no such thing as the REAL Oyashiro-sama’s curse, so what was with that dream, it was just a dream right?…
((OOC: Yeeaahh, have fun with a semi paranoid/freaked out Keiichi ^^; All the italics are his thoughts and they can be heard, Keiichi doesn’t know how to filter anything.))
