CH 11-Guest.

A person in their life experiences many things. happiness, sadness, excitement, terror, and many more.

While writing this story, there have been moments, where I tried to provide moments of horror, people wrote gore, and they wrote things that are not sane and make people uncomfortable.

But in all their tries many were never capable of writing.....

horror...

In modern media, the storyteller also known as a director would usually just flash the ghost or a person with loud noise and...

that's it...

it's not horror...

it's just a jump-scare, after writing for some time I have realized that it's not possible to give the audience the sensation of jump-scare through text media.

that's when I wrote gore, which made many of you disgusted, many may have felt uncomfortable, while some might have just thought of it as something weird...

And I think I succeeded in creeping out some of my readers.

but you see the main achievement, the absolute honor for a writer is when their stories actually, affect the reader's thinking.

for example, many of my crime horror stories are more popular than fantasy horror, because.... crime... is something that people see in their day-to-day life and many tim-

Kenny-" Hey! I was watching that!"

Rain-" I'm in no mood to watch any more horror author documentaries."

It's been three weeks since the Princess and her friend died, and a day after it 5 more students died, all from the same cause, parents couldn't be stopped and all the students were sent back to their homes.

Right now it's 9 pm and I'm watching TV with Kenny, it's a documentary about a horror author whose stories are popular for their genuine and attractive way of writing, she is very popular and won many awards too.

Kenny-" You should read some of her work, a lovely story that is sure to make you question the trust between the people around you."

Rain-" It could be entertaining.... but it's just not my cup of tea..."

Kenny-" Sad..., but I guess it's too early for you too."

Rain-" Thanks for understanding, .... when will Mom return?"

Kenny-" tomorrow...., you miss her?"

Rain-" kinda.... the house feels... lonely without her and aunt fighting each other,"

Kenny-" true...., you feeling ok?"

Rain-" Yes... why?"

Kenny-" Mom's not home, Jude's with her, and Aunt to is gone for work and Slar too is gone to meet his sister, ... so I was thinking if you are feeling scared..."

Rain-"...I was.. fine ...until we started watching this show...., it's just as the women said...., it's not scary when you know that things are fake...., but the moment you feel or find a glint of reality in these things..... it's. suddenly becomes chilly....., I feel uncomfortable... especially after the incident at the Academy."

Hearing me Kenny wraps her arms around my waist and pulls me in her embrace, it's raining outside so the temperature is cold.

At the current moment, I can feel her body heat intensely.

Kenny-" Don't you ever worry about anything, ... I got you..., safe and sound.."

Rain-"....I know... but... ah. we'll it's just scary."

Kenny -" I can understand....., hey... you wanna sleep with me tonight?"

Rain-".... yeah."

Fluffy&Sara-" Bark!"

Fluffy barked at the window, it was raining outside, and although it is raining very heavily there is no thunder at all.

It's almost pitch dark outside and having the house this empty is not very pleasing.

Rain-" Fluffy what is it?"

Fluffy&Sara-"..."

*JUMM*

Kenny-" What the..."

A blackout.

Rain-" Aren't we supposed to be rich? what the hell!?"

Kenny-" Well it is raining outside, wait here, I'm gonna get the candles."

Rain-"Aye Don't leave me here!!."

Kenny-" Don't worry, plus Fluffy's with you, stay close to her."

Saying so, She left.

Turning my attention back to Fluffy she was still staring at the window.

Rain-" Fluffy what are you looking for?"

She didn't answer but just stared at the window, normally, my gaze too fell at the window, but... there is nothing just a black void that says no words.

Rain-" Fluffy you are scaring me!"

She again didn't answer my words....., getting impatient I walked towards her and grabbed her fur, it was cold...., not to the point of freezing... but the fact that Fluffy's fur is cold is concerning, she is a lava hound..., and more or less her fur has never been normal let alone cold.

Fluffy&Sara-" Go and sleep with her tonight.."

Rain-"...huh."

Fluffy-" *Turns back to Rain* bark.."

Rain-".....Ken-"

*LIGHTNING STRIKE!!!*

Kenny-" Holy hell what happened!?"

After hearing me Kenny came back running, she had a mana lamp in her hand but it was still unlit.

Rain-" Don't leave me alone."

Kenny-" What? Are you scared? *Sarcastic*"

Rain-" Yes...., ... *Looks at fluffy*...I think I'm tired.... and, ...I feel like I'm forgetting something....."

Kenny-" Well you can try to remember it tomorrow, it's getting late let's just go to sleep."

Rain-" Fine.... *turn around* Fluf-...ah."

Kenny-" Hm?... What happened?"

Rain-" Nn... Nothing."

leaving Fluffy at the window I and Kenny went to sleep.

her room, as usual, is a little stuffed, but it's cozy.

Kenny-" All right, so I'm gonna keep this lamp lit for the night, let me see if I can find a cover so the lights won't directly hit our eyes.

Saying so she lits the lamp and puts it on the table, unlike normal flame it ignited in a dark reddish color, it wasn't very luminous, but it's the default color of the mana stone so it can't be helped.

Kenny couldn't find anything so she just moved the large body Mirror blocking the straight light to our eyes.

The room was nonetheless luminous but now it was pleasantly dim-lit for our eyes too, and perfect to sleep.

The light that hit the mirror reflected towards the ceiling because the mirror was a little leaned back, and although It was a faint reflection, it was decently visible.

Before we could climb the bed Kenny took out a fragrance stick and lit it too.

Kenny-" You are not allergic to Sprew flowers, right? I use this during the night, it helps to sleep better."

Rain-" No..., never tried sprew flowers."

Kenny-" We can go to a flower shop tomorrow..., but for now *Picks Rain and climbs to bed with him* it's time to sleep, good night."

Rain-" Good night.

*Raining sounds*

I don't know what time it is, but I can't seem to sleep.

We are currently tugged in a blanket, I have kept my eyes closed shut in hope of sleep but it has all been completely useless.

It's not like I feel scared, the sensation of Kenny's arm around me makes me feel safe and secure.

I just don't know why I can't sleep...

Removing the blanket from my face I turned my eyes toward the ceiling, its red, moving my gaze to the mirror, I could see the corner of it that shone very bright, it wasn't very big.

but if you stare into it you might see the grainy afterimage even after closing your eyes.

After it, my eyes moved on to the reflection that the mirror made, the mirror's face was opposite to us and it stared straight at the lamp, and it reflected the lamp's light on the ceiling.

I stared into..., I kept staring...., maybe I was hoping for my eyes to tire or maybe just waiting for the night slumber to overtake me, but it didn't work, my body was clearly tired, and it's not like I was having any problems with keeping my eyes closed.

I just.....

couldn't fall asleep.

I graced my vision on the reflection that rested plane on the ceiling.

I kept my eyes there...., like a moth, I felt attracted to it.

And soon after...

.

.

I feel like now I'm seeing faces...

Faces with that smiled at me..., I could see no eyes, I could see no life.

Just an intriguing void, that spoke no words.

Kenny-" Hnnn.....*gets up*....*Looks at Rain*..."

Kenny got up, I'm assuming nature called, at this moment I just pretended to be asleep, I don't know why..., but I feel like at this point I feel bad about being mentally ill...

Even at the academy, I could see other students look at me with suspicion...

Suspicion about the death of Princess and her friend.

Within the past few weeks, I feel like I am being watched, I even heard fluffy talk... quite a few times

I ignored it all, I also didn't speak about this to anyone.

Tired from my mad rambling, I closed my eyes and again tried to sleep.

*Footsteps*

Kenny returned, getting back to the blanket she again wrapped her left arm around my waist pulled me in, and wrapped her right arm around my eyes blocking my vision.

*Shhhh*...*sffff*

I could feel her breath on my shoulder.

For some reason, she seemed more clingy than usual.

Kenny-" You smell like.... like a-"

*Knock knock knock knock!*

Kenny-" Oi! Rain! open the door!"

Rain-" Huh!?"

I flinched out of bed.

There is no one there.

Kenny-" Rain!, open the door, c'mon man."

Rain-"....."

I opened the door, there was Kenny.

Kenny-" The hell Why did you close the door?"

Rain-"..I..I...., didn't..., .ah..."

Kenny-" The hell, *Turns around and closes the door back*"

the Moment Kenny closed the door the lock lever fell and the door was locked.

Kenny-" Oh..., I think the lock's loose, gotta get it repaired."

Saying so she again picked me up and climbed back to bed to sleep.

This time I didn't dare to open my eyes again...
