I am Keito Kerushi. I'm 16 years old. My mother died when I was still 7 because of an accident. It happened when we were walking home at around 9:00 p.m. All of a sudden a kidnapper was about to grab me. The moment she heard me whimpering, she turned around and pushed me away. I saw the kidnapper holding a pocket knife.
"M-mom! Watch out!"
But I was too late. She was already stabbed at the heart. The kidnapper escaped, leaving the bloody knife beside my mom's body. I was crying for help. She held my hand and said her last words.
She said in a trembling voice, "H-honey... Take c-care of yourself and y-your d-dad ok..? Mommy will m-miss y-you... I h-hope you'll g-grow strong and h-healthy.... I.. love y-you..."
And she was dead after that. I cried in despair. People were surrounding us. The police called my dad and he immediately rushed to the place where the accident occured. He sat beside me, stopping his tears from falling.
The moment mom was buried, I cried hard and dad shed all his tears. We can't bear the pain that mom disappeared from our side.
I'm here now living with my father. Well.. He wasn't a bad guy. He's been kind to me this past 9 years, that's why I loved him.
It was already 3 months after I graduated from the 9th grade. I still don't know if I'm staying from my old school or I should be transfering to a new school because my father will be the one to decide. I've been waiting for my father's decision when finally he came up to me.
"Son I've decided!"
I was a bit nervous of what his decision is. But I still want to know.
"I'll have you transfer to a school!"
And there it was. His decision. To be honest, I still want to stay to my old school. But it was his decision. I should just respect and follow him.
Days have passed and it's time to go to that school where my father enrolled me to. I wore the uniform that he got from that school. The uniform wasn't that bad. I went down to the dining room to have breakfast. I was finishing up in preparing for school when he gave me a map.
I asked, "What's this for?"
He replied, "In case you get lost you can check this out."
I stared at the map for a moment and picked up my bag. I opened the door and waved goodbye at my dad before walking out.
I was following the directions on the map to reach that school. I was very curious what that school looks like. Curious of what kind of students I'm about to meet. I was getting close to that school. I ran down the road and saw the school. The moment I saw the school, I got goosebumps.
I didn't expect what the school looks like. It looks like an abandoned one. Withered flowers are everywhere. Withered leaves falling from old trees. It looks very creepy. Its like a haunted school.
I mumbled nervously, "Is my father sure that this is the place..? I.. I'm sure he got the wrong map.. Let me try asking him.."
I grabbed my cellphone from my bag to call my dad. But the moment I was gonna dial my father's number, a sign popped up from my phone saying there was no signal. I tried texting him but the message was not sent. I was getting scared of what's gonna happen to me when I enter this school. I've got no other choice but to go in. I stepped inside the school gate and walked through the creepy presence of the area. I went in the school entrance and saw a person leaning on the wall. I walked a bit closer to see who it was. That person then heared my footsteps and turned his head to me. I stared at him for a while and finally noticed.
"Eh? Saito?" I glared at him.
"Oh? If it isn't Keito-kun?" He glared at me too.
Saito putted his arm around my neck and grinned. "Keito! Finally, I got to see you again!" he was very happy on seeing me again. "Look at you now! All grown up!" he pinched my cheeks and laughed. "O-ow.. H-hey Saito that hurts! So.. How are you these past 3 months?" I asked him. "Nyeh. Fine as usual." he said. "Oh alright. Anyways, are you new here?" I asked him again. "Mhm." he nodded "How 'bout you? Are you new here?" he asked me too. I just nodded as a reply. "Oh." he said. "Well then since you're here, how 'bout we find a teacher and ask where our room is?" he looked at me "Oh sure." I answered. "Well then let's go." and we started walking.
We were walking down the hallway to find a teacher when suddenly, I felt a creepy presence that made me flinch. Saito noticed me and asked, "What's wrong?" I looked at him while having goosebumps, "A-ah... Nothing..." I replied with a trembling voice "We should continue walking now..." I said to him and he stared at me for a moment and nodded, "Ok."
We were walking for almost an hour and we still haven't found a teacher. "Hey.. Keito.. Aren't you tired from all the walking..? How 'bout we take a rest for a bit..?" Saito interrupted me from walking by grabbing my shoulder, "Saito.. If we rest now there might be a creepy creature that will show up infront of our eyes.. I mean... Didn't you felt the creepy presence in this school..? I asked him. "Creepy creature? Hahaha! Keito.. You believe in stuff like that? Don't you know those stuff aren't real?" he said to me in a lazy voice "You can go on without me, I'll just take a short rest." he added. "Tsk.. Fine.. Don't blame me if something happened to you.." I said irritated. "Yeah yeah." he lazily replied. I slowly walked away, leaving Saito behind. But just after 30 minutes, I heared a guy's scream.
