Little Kotori ran fast, after one of her friends. She was tired, but refused to stop running knowing if she did,she would disappear from her life.

She called her friends name, over and over again, but she never turned to see the caller. Once more, Kotori called her name before tripping her foot on a root and falling to her knees, she hissed in pain before trying to stand, but only fell back down.

She heard the crunching of leaves stop, she looked up to see her friend staring at her with a blank face. The face sighed before she walked towards the girl, asking if she was okay.

Kotori shook her head, biting her lip to keep herself from crying. She held her ankle, feeling her heart ram against her rib cage but she ignored it and focused on her friend. "Where's Honoka?" she asked the girl on the floor.

Kotori thought back, remembering their ginger haired friend. "I think she got tired when we reached the foot of the mountain..." she muttered under her breath.

Her other friend wrapped one of her hands around Kotori's waist, and then the other to her legs before lifting her up and walking forward, towards the trail. "Where were you going with that, Umi-chan...?" Kotori questioned.

Umi stopped dead in her tracks, looking over her shoulder to see Kotori staring at her. She looked back forward and resumed walking, as she thought of a good lie.

She bit her inner cheek as she regretted putting the sharp knife in her pocket, as she could feel the edge of the knife hititng her thigh each time she took a step forward.

"I...Wanted to go somewhere" she answered with a half lie. Kotori stayed silent, they both did, for the rest of the journey.

As the neared the entrance of the mountain, Umi's stopped as she felt a lump in her throat. Two police cars were parked,with three neighbours of hers,Honoka,and three officers.

She putted Kotori down before looking back at the I treated with horror, Kotori looked in that direction too, not knowing what she should fear. "Umi...chan?" she asked,watching the dark figure of her friend look back at her with a small smile.

"This is where we part ways, Kotori" she said before turning and walking away. Eyes wide, Kotori tried to stand up, using a nearby branch.

"Kotori-"

And so she awoke, sweat trickling down her neck as she looked around her room. She checked the clock beside her bedside, it read 5:00a.m. She looked down and felt her forehead for any possible flu,nothing.

She let it fall down and laid back down, stating at the ceiling as she thought about the dream, but saw no real reason too. She doesn't remember... she thought as she squinted through the darkness.

Yes, the two, no, all of them had known each other over the years but after her dissapearance, a lot of things went out of control.

She thought and thought about it, knowing only three people in the asylum fully remember her. And that was herself, Honoka, and Eli. The three were always the closest to Umi, with Nozomi and Maki trailing behind but those two barely remember their own childhood now.

She heard a bell ring, indicating time to wake up, she looked over to the other side of the bed, her roommate sitting up slowly. "Good morning, Hanayo-chan" Kotori greeted.

Startled, Hanayo looked at where she heard the voice and smiled in relief to find out it was only her friend. "Good morning to you too, Kotori" she greeted back.

The door opened slowly, showing one of the nurses that worked here. "Time to go girls" she said as she stared for the two to stand up and go.

Hanayo was the first,Kotori looked at he clock one more time before she herself went outside. She was one of the first to wake up,along with Eli, Hanayo and... Umi.

Hearing footsteps, Umi looked up before sighing in exasperation and went back to keeping her eyes down on the book she held.

Eli did the same, but with a concerned expression knowing full well what the bird had felt for the ocean before. Kotori smiled reassuringly at her blonde friend before taking a seat herself.

Slightly uncomfortable, Eli slipped deeper into the chair, staring straight at the door,as if she was expecting someone. Well, she technically is expecting, or waiting, for someone. And that 'someone' just so happens to be her little sister, Arisa.

As her family was famous for being a family of musicians, you can imagine how much pressure was out on Eli right when she reached the age of 9,so when her parents had found out about her self harming, they were disgraced,and enraged at the same time.

"Good morning, everybody!" and as if there was no tension in the air,a pruple haired girl came into the 'Living Room'. She had both arms up, a toothy smile on her face and wide eyes as she walked towards the seat besides Eli,a grouchy Nico following from behind. "Did you have to wake me up?" she growled.

"Eh? Nicocchi, if I didn't wake you up then Makicchi would've made Honoka-chan wake you up" Nozomi feigned being hurt, a fake frown in her face as she stared at Nico in 'disbelief'. Nico just replied with a deadpanned face, but inside she knew that Nozomi was right.

"Ah, good morning, Elicchi,Kotori-chan, Hanayo-chan, Umi-chan" Nozomi greeted everyone,not noticing Maki watching every movement the do, Eli smiled back, with Hanayo and Kotori returning the 'good morning',while Umi just nodded her head.

"EH? No response? Okay! I guess I'll just have to do my Washi Washi Max!" she said before jumping towards Umi,aiming her two hands towards her chest. But,at the last second, Umi substuted herself with Nico, causing Nozomi to grab Nico instead of her first target.

"H-hey, get off,you boob freak!!!" Nico squirmed as she tried pushing Nozomi's hands off her chest, but failing to do soso as Nozomi still did her Washi Washi maximum desire the wrong target.

Useful, very useful. Umi thought to herself as a booster plan began to unfold in her mind,a sadistic smile creeping up in her face, which caused her to feel an electric shock. She bit her tongue hard, eventually drawing blood,to keep from screaming out in pain.

Ah, right... She grumbled remembering that Maki had putted an electric cuff on her left hand, in a push of a button Umi could get a seizure any minute,so if Maki find anything suspicious going on, beep there goes and electric shock.

I'm gonna need someone with brains soon... She noted,yet another sinister smile creeping up her face.

"Ouch!!! Dammit,Maki!"

A/N

And there goes! I enjoyed writing the past part l, lol. Anyhow, for those who read my other book 'The Circus'which was updated yesterday,btw,you should all know the newnews.

For those who haven't read it, aka the a/n in the latest chapter,pls do. P.s for those who don't understand what I meant last chapter,I want I will pause progression of one story, or literally stop, or just...Gah, u guys should get the just of it by now.

Oh! And new AU idea(s) [I'm not gonna do it, don't worry{For now}]

Seven Deadly sins, and two angels:

U should know,there are seven deadly sins, but since muse is 9 I am (Or you) gonna choose two people that will play the roles of the two angels that fall in love with one of the deadly sins, so far Ive got lost, or all of their roles planned out.

Nico: As Pride (Always boasting, u know)

Nozomi: As Lust (You should know...)

Umi:Wrath (Since when she pissed it's scary, like Meliodas)

Honoka:Sloth (U should understand)

Rin: Gluttony (Ramen~)

Eli: Greed (I know, it's weird but u guys should understand)

Maki: Envy (U guys should understand...)

Kotori: Angel, falls in love with either Umi, or Honoka

Hanayo: Angel, go get eaten by Rin! *Wink wink*

Little Witch Academia:

Honoka or Rin would fit Akko's role (Main Character) and Umi or Maki would fit Diana's role. [If u don't know, either search or watch the anime, it's cringe)

My Hero Academia:

Midoriya would fit Honoka, Kotori as... Yeah, I forgot their names, but u should know *-*

Black Butler: (Better for NozoEli)

Umi would fit Sebastian (-chan) role while Eli would fit Ciel's role, I understand Umi would be older but she literally acts like she is in the show, Nozomi could act like Elizabeth and bring some kind of light in Eli's life.

Anyways, that's all! Feel free to use any of the AU's BTW, but if you do can u gimme a shout-out?

Anyways, bye!
