9 Akemi’s anger

"It's ok! Do not cry! I will talk to the app…" Hastin tried to pat her shoulder to make her stop crying.

"What will you talk to the app? That you hurt yourself when I was not around? That I did not fulfill the duty assigned to me? What? What would you say?" Akemi pushed his hands away harshly.

She then saw the knife which she threw down while trying to stop Hastin before. She picked it up and aimed it at him. Hastin reacted fast and held her hand.

"Akemi! Stop! What are you trying to do? Wake up! Wake up!" He tried to stop her but the force she exerted was beyond his control.

He used his whole strength to push her away. He ran towards the bedroom and locked the door. Akemi with full force stabbed the door.

The knife just missed his ears and poked out of the door. He immediately moved away. He watched the knife being pulled out and then poked in several times.

"Akemi, you need to stop this madness right now!" Hastin shouted through the locked door.

"No! I want you to die! Only if you die, then I can escape. Just die!"

Akemi kept on thrusting the knife continuously on the door. Each time she pulled out, there was a hole left on the door.

Hastin couldn't believe how a thin girl who looked malnourished, suddenly had so much strength. He shivered just thinking that if she actually stabbed him then how much pain it would be!

He would even die in her second stab.

"Akemi, please! Stop your craziness. You are not such a person who could hurt anyone. I know this is all done by the App. You need to come out of this dream right now."

"Yes, I am a crazy person who is thriving for your blood. I will not stop until I see all your internal organs pulled out of your body"

All of a sudden it became silent. He could not see the knife or any movement on the other side. He walked towards the door and intended to extend his hand.

But before he could even touch the knob, the door was kicked open. To be precise, it was knocked down by the coffee table. Hastin fell back and looked at Akemi in horror.

Akemi threw the coffee table and came near him. She held his collar and whispered in his ear.

"See, this is how you must write a horror novel. You must make the reader's shiver in fear. Not how you wrote your previous chapters, That's definitely no horror. Anyone would sleep right after reading just one page. You need to increase your level of writing." Akemi said with a smirk.

"Who are you?" Through chattering teeth, Hastin asked.

"Hastin, how can you not know me? We were together on this journey for so many days now. After so long you are asking who am I? Isn't it funny! Oh! I am hurt"

"Where is Akemi? What did you do with her?" Hastin asked with fear literally visible in his eyes.

"I just put her to a long sleep. Do not worry, I did not kill her yet. I still have use for this body. Finally, my experiment gave me a better result and I once again took a human form" Akemi laughed hysterically.

Hastin moved back in fear while sitting on the floor using his hands. His head hit the bed frame and as he noticed that there was no more space to move anymore, he held himself tight.

"Please let go of me! Please, I beg you!" Hastin pleaded.

"No! The game has just begun and I didn't even have…" Before Akemi could finish, Hastin stood up and pushed Akemi down.

He then ran outside. But before he could even reach the front door, he noticed that Slayer and Tegus were standing guard.

He turned around and ran towards the library. He hid behind one of the huge bookshelves.

"Hastin, Hastin! You never learn from your mistakes, do you? I heard your father say that you were such a brilliant person. Looks like it was all a lie. Do you think I will not be able to find you if you hide?" Akemi said.

"How do you know my father?" Hastin came out of his hiding, then realized his mistake.

It was too late by the time he noticed. Akemi came at him with super speed. She held him and lifted him up in the air.

"Look at the version I developed. The poor little Akemi now has the strength of an elephant. She can run like a cheetah. She even has many more skills that are yet to be recognized. I modified her DNA before sending her here. But I failed to notice that even after doing so many alterations, I missed changing her heart. She was still a naive little girl in her heart, just like you. Tut-Tut! I pity you both."

"Let go of me! Let me go! How could you be so cruel? She is just a small girl. What did we even do to you?" Hastin struggled to get out of her grasp.

By now, Hastin felt suffocated and even his eyes almost popped out because of the lack of oxygen in his lungs. When he thought that this would be his last day on earth, Akemi let him go.

Once his body hit the floor, he started to cough violently non-stop. Because of the choking, his eyes turned blood red. Tears formed in his eyes. Looking at his pity self, Akemi had a satisfied smile on her face.

"So, will you write the story properly now? Do not have any tricky ideas on this tiny little head of yours. As I have even more dicey ideas of how to chop you into cute pieces and feed to my pets." Akemi held his hair and raised him up.

Hastin did not reply and just walked towards the study to start writing. This time he knows none of his tricks is going to work.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you one more thing. All the five victims died and I made a copy of it for you to see. Now all you need to do is, just write what you see. My method of making the victim suffer and die is much better than any of the horror stories you wrote before" Akemi said with confidence.

And it proved to be absolutely precise when he saw those videos. When he saw the victims being chased and chopped, he felt like puking. Within a minute, he ran towards the bathroom and started to puke.

Hastin never saw any such gross, dreadful videos before. Yes, he did watch a few horror movies to improve his writing. But nothing could compare to the video he saw just now.

He held his head and vomited vigorously. After a few minutes, just an acid-base came out of his mouth. When he finally felt slightly ok, he stood up and walked towards the washbasin.

He splashed the cold water on his face and looked at the mirror. The person he saw in the mirror was completely unrecognizable. He wiped the water on his face using his left hand.

"Are you ok in there? Do you need any help from Akemi?" A sweet voice sounded behind the door.

Hastin walked forward and opened the door. He ignored the person standing near the door and walked towards the desk. It was already difficult to see the innocent Akemi's face with a devil inside her consciousness.

He once again started the video and started to write the story based on the video.

"What do you think? Is this killing method cruel enough or should we improve it to be even viler? I think the highlight of this video is how Slayed pulled the intestines out of a half-dead person. Look at him, how he is screaming and then in seconds his body became lifeless."

Hastin tried hard to control his puke. His hands shivered and made many typo errors.
