3 The secret

Not so long after I met my best friend Sam, we clearly began to get along really well, it was like this spark between us, all we had to do was just start talking and we're already the closest we have ever been to anyone. It was obvious how much we trusted each other, we would talk about everything and anything on our mind to each other, and just like in every other talk between close friends, we talked about our crushes.

I would come over and we would lay on her bed talking about the guy she was head over heals for at that time. She would talk about how she began to fancy him and I would listen and enjoy, it all quickly escalated to me teasing her constantly and dreaming about how he probably likes her back, we would take those love quizzes and blush every time the results said he likes her back, it seemed like an ordinary, innocent highschool girl talk, at least we thought.

Things changed very smoothly, no one even noticed anything, we just went along believe our ears, each other and all our eyes could offer, in the end, we were young and innocent girls who had yet to meet the cruel reality of the world. Things started off with Sam and her crush getting closer due to their father's connections, Sam would have to go to her father's office party's with him practically every day and she would meet him there every night and get closes and closer to him. We called him Yuki. Everything seemed so real and there was nothing to suspect, the kids were falling in love and I was incredibly happy for my best friend. It was time I was introduced to Yuki, so we became friends, 3 of us were close friends, I considered him like my brother, the only issue was that the only way I could talk to him was through chat...

I must say, we come from a family of black magic, so we truly believe in supernatural things, which is why it was so easy for us to believe what I will tell you next.

As things began to escalate, things were getting added to the story, it went from just 3 people, to 10 and maybe ever 20 or more, but I've never met any of them in person...it was only Sam who met them, and I believed every single word that came out of her mouth every time we talked about our situation. It all went from an innocent love story to something I would never wish upon anyone. Black magic and curses were involved, people who we though we loved, in such a way, we were under control, we were manipulated in a way that we couldn't refuse anything we were asked to do, in that world, we had people we loved so much we would consider them family, but we also had enemies who hated us enough to kill us.

Although I've never met anyone in person, me and Sam were living in hell, we had to do unspeakable things every day to "keep each other alive", in short, we were manipulated...but we were trapped, and it lasted 2 long years until one night, Sam and I began to suspect things. We finally realized that everything seemed too surreal, as if someone was in our head controlling and manipulating us, and then it hit us...non of that was real, but we knew for sure that someone was behind all of that, someone who was always hiding in the picture, and we could only thing of Mayaki. She was Sam's friend all along, but she had a very dirty and suspicious vibe to her, she had always been in the picture but never involved, so she must have been the Mastermind behind all of this.

That night, when we came to our realization, everything we believed disappeared in one go, everyone we thought were real, everyone we loved, everyone we went through the torture to keep alive and happy were not real, you could imagine how much it changed us. But we had each other, and that's what kept us going.

As time went by, we began to realize that we may not remember everything, there are too many blank spaces in our memories, and there is this one person that I never seemed to remember, someone who felt close...

With time, this seems to be haunting us more and more, the pain from the past increases and we find ourselves eager to find out what exactly happened to us, but there was no one to answer our questions and we didn't dare to confront Mayaki.

Sam and I will take this secret to our graves. Even if we wish to talk, there is no one who would ever listen to this without thinking we're crazy.
