Scream for Me

Naegi finished his story in the hospital, but the horror wasn't over. Oh no.

-Time for the finale- He though.

"What happened next was probably the worst part." he started, "Strange things started to happen around our old house… Some could even say… paranormal things."

Everyone was on edge, looking at him with wide eyes except for Fukawa and Fujisaki who were covering their eyes with their hands. Naegi smirked internally, his vengeance was near.

"L-Like… G-g-ghost stuff?" Hagakure stammered before shrieking at the Luckster's nod for an answer.

"It was common stuff at first: objects that weren't where they were supposed to be, small noises during the day. The first days we ignored it… But after a week or two… It started to get weird." Naegi spoke with a dark tone that sent a shiver down his public's spine, "The most noticeable thing was Komaru saying that each night there she dreamed of a shadow staring at one of the family's members room from the doorway, just standing there… staring. Until one night she screamed, waking me up and I swore I saw a shadow disappearing in front of her room's door when I went to see if she was okay."

At that moment, Mukuro and Sakura started to look around, much to their friends terror who didn't dare to ask what was happening, knowing very well that the answer would be: 'there's something moving in the shadows.'

"Those… activities happened for a year, but the worst one I experienced was the breaking point that forced us to move out. It was one month before we left the house…"

Naegi took this short pause to look at his classmates' faces, enjoying the scared looks… and he just knew it was going to get better.

"It was one night… before I went to sleep… I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom when the lights started to flicker for a second… I looked up at the lightbulbs to check if everything was okay… but when I looked back at my reflection… I saw myself but… badly hurt and probably dead." he said in the darkest tone yet.

"Wh-Wh-What do you mean?" Sayaka stammered in a frightened tone.

"I… was all bloody… I remember very well, I couldn't move a muscle at the sight of myself. I…the left corner of my lips was torn away, like the Joker from Batman but unsewn. It went all the way up to my ear… Kind of…" Naegi hooked a finger inside the left corner of his mouth, "Like this." And in one pull, he ripped his cheek apart, blood oozing out of his flesh as it was torn apart.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Most students screamed shrieks of terrors.

Fujisaki was looking away, covered by a frightened Mondo. Taka was pale as his clothes, screaming along his classmates. Togami was covering Fukawa's already covered eyes, not to let Syo out because he knew it would only get worse. Hina had her face plastered against her best friend's shoulder, said friend was staring in horror at the young teenager in front of the group.

But Naegi didn't stop, as if he didn't hear their screams.

"...On my right cheek were deep scratches… like… I scratched myself…" He started to scratch his right cheek, "Very… very hard." the movement of his fingers started to accelerate and eventually dug in the skin and flesh, with more blood covering his face. "My right ear was missing." He grabbed his ear and ripped it off like if he was ripping paper, but the noise and the arc of blood was a clear indication that this wasn't paper.

The blood almost reached Celeste's shoes as she screeched again, gripping Yamada's shirt too tightly that it was hurting the artist, but he was too busy screaming in terror at the horrible scene in front of him to mind the pain.

Hagakure was almost fainting as he started to pray any divinity out there that would listen to him. Sayaka and Leon were holding onto each other screaming and crying.

"I had… A bullet hole on my forehead…" Naegi leaned back and planted two fingers inside his forehead, starting to dig into the flesh, fingers getting bloodier than they already were. He looked at his friends, blood covering his face as he kept describing his gruesome reflection, "Also… I think my… left eye…" He reached for it, everyone screamed, but then he held his left hand like a bowl as he started to tap the back of his head with the other hand.

pop!

His left eyeball jumped out of his socket in a grotesque cartoony way in his left palm before dropping the eye on the floor, but blood didn't stop flowing out his wounds.

Junko was holding her sister, shivering, but Mukuro was just staring with wide terrified eyes and small tears at the corners of her eyes, her skin pale. Kirigiri was trying her best not to break her mask but even Togami was unable to hide his terrified expression. The detective had her eyes wide open, holding her breath, skin pale as Celeste as she looked at her boyfriend's tortured bloody face with horror.

But Naegi smiled.

"So… The reflection smiled at me… And started to walk towards me…" the story teller took a step forward his friends and in return they all tried to move further away from him then took another until he was the one towering over them, "He tilted his head to the side… I could swear that his face just came out of the mirror as he said those three words before the lights went off… He said:

Welcome To Hell."

Right after he said those words, the single candle illuminating the room got blown off. But everyone was too busy looking at Naegi's face, and his face was smiling to them. So who blew the candle? That thought alone brought everyone to a state of near panic as they started to look around in the darkness.

Their heartbeat was drumming in their ears so loud that they didn't hear Naegi take a few steps back. But they did hear his voice.

"And then…"

The lights flickered on and off quickly enough to make Naegi's short sprint towards them flickers frame by frame, bringing more fear to the students of Hope's Peak 78th class as everyone started to scream along the Luckster's roar.

"EEEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAA!"

"EEEEEEEEEEKKKK!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"MOOOOOMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

"IIIIIIIEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

After all the screams, the only sound that echoed in the shack was Naegi's laughter.

"HAAAAAhahahahahaha!" He laughed loudly, he gripped his face and ripped of the mask, showing to his friends that he was alright, calming them… slightly.

"Wh-Wh-What the-?"

"Got you good, huh?" Naegi grinned.

"What… How?!" Mondo shouted, "How did you do all this?!"

"Alright, time to explain."

"Before you start… Let me say something." Leon interrupted, "THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME!"

"YEAH! I WAS SO, LIKE, LEGIT SCARED! AND THAT IS A FEAT!" Junko exclaimed, drooling a bit, "Kudos to you, Hope boy!"

"Hehe, thanks." the Luckster blushed.

"But seriously. How did you do the voices?!"

"That was me." said a low voice that echoed through the room.

"Yes, he's the Ultimate Ninja from class 76th. He didn't give me his real name but wants me to call him… John."

"Hi." the voice echoed again.

"Also he's just behind you guys." Naegi pointed towards the other end of the shack.

At once, everyone turned to see the student dressed in all black and wearing a mask. He was rather tall and that was pretty much everything they could distinguish about him.

"How can-"

"I'm a ninja, I would be a shame to my kind if I couldn't erase completely my presence and change voices to distract anyone, even the Ultimate Soldier and Fighter." 'John' explained, "Well, now that my job is done here. I'll take my leave. Thank you for this little job, Naegi Makoto, it was very fun." And like that, 'John' disappeared.

"Whaaat? The secret character hiding in the shadows appears and disappears after 5 lines?! Ridiculous!" Yamada exclaimed.

"Anyway, so the face and the rest were props?" Kirigiri asked.

"Yeah. My face was a mask during the whole story , made by the Ultimate Make Up Artist. The giant spider and the horrible woman that came out of my back are animatronics made by Souda-kun. It was terrifying just to lay an eye on them. I had to train a lot not to be fazed anymore." The ahoge teen smiled.

"Wow, you really worked hard to scare us didn't you?" Hina said as she looked at the props at the corner of the room.

They were terrifying indeed.

"And the spiders? And the weird centipede noise? Fake too?" Sayaka asked.

"Ah no. The giant centipede was actually Tanaka-kun's Dark Devas in disguise and the spiders too."

"Wait… So you put your bare hand in REAL spiders?" Togami asked, his eyes wide open.

"Please don't remind me."

"Wow, we must have really scared you shitless that time for you to train this hard!" Mondo scratched the back of his head.

"But seriously. That story you made up was so good!" Leon cheered.

"Uh? Made up? I think you guys misunderstood. Everything that happened here was fake… but my story is real." Naegi blinked, quickly silencing everyone.

"Y-You're shitting... right?"

"N-no… and also I didn't mentioned it but the ghost is actually haunting me ever since. I can't communicate with her but she speaks to me. It was really annoying at first when going to school… She's been speaking to me for years and when I was thinking of a revenge against you guys… She told me to tell this story so she can haunt one of you and leave me alone… I am so sorry about this! But after years of voices in my head I just couldn't let that opportunity slip away from me! I… I just cursed one of you, even you John, Tanaka-kun! Sorry!" He bowed in a perfect angle.

"Eeeeeeehh?!" two male voices were heard outside.

Every single student in the shack was pale and had their eyes wide open like dinner plates… And Hagakure finally fainted.

And Naegi smiled in an evil way in his head.

A few hours later, it was time for everyone to go to bed. And you can believe that not many people slept that night. Some students decided to sleep as group not to be too afraid of the night, like Hina and Sakura or Mondo, Taka and Chihiro. All of this was making the Luckster grin ear to ear.

Junko looked very excited to see a ghost though. Togami tried to deny the fact that he was scared but it was obvious with how his hands were trembling.

Then he got a message, Kirigiri wanted to speak with him in front of her room. He went to meet his girlfriend.

"Yes Kirigiri-san?"

"Naegi-kun. Please be honest. Everything was made up, right?" she smirked.

"Ah, you got me there. I knew I couldn't lie to you once I reveal all the tricks. But I did experience everything I said in the hospital! I just started to make things up from the time I left the hospital." The ahoge boy blushed as he scratched his cheek.

"Hehe, I see. Still terrifying to imagine that kind of experience. You really did scare us good. You really worked hard for this prank. I'm impressed. And that last lie was just a good touch, just look at how scared they are ." she looked at Yamada who was too scared to go to the toilet by himself, hesitating to ask one of his classmates to accompany him.

"Then I guess I'm satisfied now. My revenge is complete. Sorry I got to scare you like that, Kirigiri-san."

"It's alright, I did give you a fright last time, and almost gave you a heart attack. I don't usually say that but I kinda deserved that fright." she smiled, "Anyway, good night Makoto." she kissed his cheek before going to her room and closing the door, leaving a blushing Luckster smiled dumbly.

Naegi walked back toward his room but got stopped by a crying Hagakure claiming being haunted by the ghost.

The moment Kirigiri closed the door, locked it and remembered that the room was sound proofed, she let out a looooong puffy sigh of relief as she slid her back down against the door, sitting on the ground.

"Thank God the haunting ghost was a lie!" she puffed again.

She rose a hand against her chest, feeling her heart beating rapidly like drums.

It's been a very long time since she was this scared to the point of screaming. Thankfully everyone else were too busy screaming with her to even mind.

Holy hell, Naegi really did an amazing job to scare everyone this badly.
