Chapter 1
“Michael
Matsumoto!” Sang a young woman's beautiful
voice. Her words bounced off the walls and echoed throughout our dark and
silent home. Normally I'd be overjoyed to hear a pretty girl call my
name, but the sound of her voice sent nothing but terror down my spine.
“It's her, she's coming,” whispered Akito. I expected my teacher to
be freaking out in terror like me, but his black eyes were calm and his brow
was narrowed in concentration.
“But Annie!” I hissed hysterically. “We have to help Annie!”
I couldn't forget the image of Annie lying face down unconscious
on the floor. Her short black hair was messed
up and bloody, and she looked like a broken doll beyond
repair. The cute girl who helped me on several occasions could be moments away
from death if someone didn't aid her soon. I jumped up and attempted to climb
over the desk we were hiding behind in Akito's office, but Akito quickly
grabbed my shirt and pulled me back.
“Don't worry about her! There's nothing we can do now!” He hissed.
