Chapter 6: Run.
You and Eisuke woke up the next morning after a good night’s sleep. As you served breakfast, you couldn’t help but shake the feeling that something was off; it felt too quiet and more peaceful. Something told you deep down that something bad was going to happen.
“Something on your mind ______________?” Eisuke asked you.
“N-no,” you sighed “It’s nothing.”
“You worried about the whole ghost thing?” it was like Eisuke could read you like a book.
“I guess you can say that. It’s like I have a feeling something is going to happen.” you suddenly felt Eisuke walk over to you and hug you from behind.
“I’m not going to let you get hurt.” Eisuke told you “Nothing bad is going to happen.” you smile at Eisuke’s words. They honestly do make you feel better; but you still couldn’t shake that feeling at all. Sighing, you finish cleaning the dishes, grab your shoes and decide to meet up with Eisuke at the car. As you leave the house, Eisuke’s smile turns into a slight frown, he knew how you felt about all this and he couldn’t agree more. Something was going to happen and he was going to try to prevent it.

The work day went by slowly for you and you just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going to happen.
“Are you alright __________________?” Chisato asked you, noticing the troubled look on your face.
“Not really.” you confess.
“You know, you can always come to me on things. Is Eisuke treating you badly?” You look at her with an odd expression.
“No. I-it’s something else.” you then tell Chisato all the odd activity that had been going on at home.
“That does sound troubling.” Chisato admitted. All of a sudden, an idea came to Chisato’s mind “You know, I do have a cousin here in America. And he doesn’t live too far! He runs a Paranormal Investigation Team. Everything they do is for free, I’ll call him and tell hi what’s up!” Your eyes lit up at those words. If you got a team in, it could save you and Eisuke!
“Y-you would do that for me?” you asked surprised.
“Of course ________________! You’re one of my best friends!” Tears formed in your eyes and you hugged Chisato.
“You’re the best.”
“What’re friends for?” your Penthouse buzzer went off and you said your goodbyes to Chisato before leaving.

“So this guy does ghost hunting for free?” Eisuke asked you that night as you made your way home.
“Yep!” you smiled “Ghost Hunters do it for free! If they ask you to pay, that means they’re imposters.” Eisuke smiled at your words.
“I’m liking the free part.” you both pulled into your driveway and got out of the car. When you looked up at your home, you noticed the same black figure that was in the bathtub with you, in the window, looking out at you and Eisuke.
“E-Eisuke!” you nudge him, he looked up and went wide eyed in fear when he saw the figure suddenly move away from the window.
Shocked, you both run into the house to see what was going on and were shocked at the sight you spotted when you turned the lights on; your entire house looked ransacked.
“Holy shit.” you said in a stunned tone. Eisuke looked around the rooms and noticed some of the valuble items he bought at past auctions, either just lying on the floor or broken.
“Nothing appears to have been stolen.” Eisuke sighed in relief “And I don’t think we were broken into.”
“Check the cameras!” Eisuke ran to his laptop and started it up. He entered the app on the laptop and re-winded the recordings on the camera earlier than day. You were stunned to see nothing knock down the stuff in all the rooms in your house.
“My God…” Eisuke said in a shocked tone.
“I think…” you tried to comprehend “We made it angrier.” as you began to back away, you suddenly screamed in pain. You landed on the ground, yelping in pain.
“_________!” Eisuke screamed while running over to you to help you up “What’s wrong?!” as he helped you up, you suddenly screamed in pain again.
“B-back!” you manage to get out. Eisuke lifted the shirt part and was horrified at what he saw; there, straight on your back was three giant claw marks. And right then and there, another set of claw marks appeared, forcing you into unconsciousness. Whatever this was it was now attacking you.
The lights in your house began to flicker and some of the books that weren’t knocked out of the shelves began to fly off the shelves. What horrified Eisuke the most was when blood dripped onto the walls into the sentence “GET OUT.” unable to take it anymore, Eisuke picked you up bridal style, grabbed his car keys and ran out of the house. He strapped you into the passengers seat, got into the drivers seat and drove off. Eisuke’s eye glanced to the house and he was more than ever scared when he saw the figure of something that looked inhuman.
