| Russel couldn't sleep, he kept on turning around and moving, he couldn't concentrate at all,, twisting, moving, any little sound seemed to annoy him, the rain kept on falling and there were some thunders and lightning too, he hadn't been very well at night for the past couple of days, then he decided to walk around the studios and try to sleep again later. He walked everywhere, from top to bottom, he was walking silently in the first floor, bouncing a tennis ball in the floor, suddenly the ball fell from his hands and started bouncing, Russel chased the ball around the studios, then it finally bounced down the stairs that led to basement--2-D's room **_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_ Russel went down carefully, it was dark, and he couldn't see very well; as he descended the stairs he felt a cold feeling, when he was in front of 2-D's room, he heard a faint noise, then he discovered the dorr was open, Russel doesn't really like to go on 2-D's bedroom, especially if he's not awake, but something made him push the door and go in... **_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_ That noise was Kyra, she was standing next to 2-D's bed, who was sound asleep and completely unaware that they were there, in fact, he was even snoring! Just a little, but still; Russel didn't know what to think when he first saw Kyra there, first he felt confused, he didn't know how Kyra managed to unlock the door, then he felt a little stupid, letting someone he didn't really know to spend the night, after, he felt a bit ashamed, but he wasn't sure why. He was about to say something when he saw blood dripiing from Kyra's back, the drops of blood disappeared before they touched the floor; the just freaked Russel out; without even turning back, Kyra started talking... -Ahhh... Russ, I thought you were smarter, but you had no idea did you? Why I never shook your hand? I wouldn't eat or move anything from this place... Why no one seemed to care or ask about me? Why Murdoc didn't say anything about me in the lobby? Noodles never said hi... And what about the cold spots? Or the sensation of someone standing behind you, when no one's actually there...- -What?- Russel had a very confused look on his face... -You still don't get it do you? Del could see me too, But I didn't listen to what he said: "I'm more like you" Should've guessed...- -Kyra, you're starting to scare me...- Russel didn't seem to be listening; when Kyra heard what he said she got upset... -Listen to me! Did you check the table where I hit my head? Was there any blood on the table Russ? Tell me! Was there any blood?!- The room got colder- Have you heard of the poltergeist?- -Noisy ghost?- -Yes, that's noisy ghost in German, This term explains phenomena such as things flying through the air, strange noises, bottles unscrewing and spilling by themselves...- -Glasses breaking- They both said at the same time Russel felt something hit him in the face, he finally understood everything... -Kyra... You're...- -That's right... I stopped breathing 3 years ago... I'm dead...- Kyra lifted the hair from her forehead, Russel could clearly see a very bit cut, about 2 inches long... -But how did you... What happened?- Kyra turned around and looked at Russ. -Give me your hand...- For the first time sonce they met, Kyra stretched her hand, her boney, white hand seemed to be fading... Russel didn't find much choice, and besides, he was more curious than he was afraid, so he decided to take her hand... His hand went through hers, he didn't feel anything, just like a gust of cold wind blowing through his hands, his hair staind to its end, then he had some sort of flashbacks, he could only see a knife after a necklace falling to the ground, he blinked his eyes and by the moment he opened them, he wasn't at the Studios any more. **_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_ Russel took a look around, he was now in a place that looked like a deserted shore filled with pointy rocks, it was raining and the sound of the ocean waves hitting the rocks were very loud, Russel couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't remember how he got there, it was very cold too, he sat on a rock and stayed there for awhile; not sure where he was or where he should go; there wasn't any sound accept the rain, the thunder and the waves hitting those sharp rocks, suddenly, he heard some shouting, after a few moments he heard someone sobbing then a person appeared and running at great speed, jumping from one rock to another. Due to the black clothes the person was wearing, that it was a nightmare and that there weren't any lights around, Russel didn't recognize the person until she was right in front of him... it was Kyra -Kyra? What happened?- There was no answer, Kyra just kept on running towards Russel until she passed right through him, as if he wasn't there; she gave a few more jumps and the slipped and fell on one of the rocks; she sat down on the rock she had slipped with and rubbed her ankle, the sound of the roaring sea was interrupted once more by those shouts, which Kyra seemed to be afraid of, then more steps were heard; three persons came rushing and started looking and shouting for Kyra, Kyra gasped when she was seen, and made an attempt to get up and run but she fell again. -Kyra! Ohhhh, It looks like you slipped, here let us help you!- One of the scary punks stretched his hand -Get away psycho!- Kyra closed her fist, ready to fight. -Huh? What's this?! I thought you were our friend! Now you're closing your fist on us?- -I thought you were my friends too, but friends don't hide things from themselves! You want to kill me, don't you?- -Pfft! What are you talking about?- The guy laughed -Ok, enough already!- A scary girl came out frm behind- I'm losing my patince! Kyra, tell us what you know, NOW!- Kyra stood up and quickly punched the girl right on her nose, and it almost knocked her down, but the other two guys grabbed her. -Let me go you buttmunchers!- The girl punched Kyra several times. -Hey! Leave the girl alone!- Russel started threatening the guys holding Kyra, but he was just ignored. -Whatever you say... Kyra!- The girl grabbed Kyra's head and banged it against a sharp rock. Kyra lay facing the floor without moving. -Darn it Ira, I told you to be easy on her!- -She pissed me off, couldn't help it...- -Yeah, but I liked her!- -Whatever, maybe if she had speak... Is she breathing?- -I dunno, you check her.- -Ugh! No I'm not!- Ira poked Kyra with her foot a couple of times. -Let's just leave her here, Matt will know what to do.- The three punks left, Russel couldn't believe his eyes, he got closer to where Kyra was, and he discovered she ws still breathing, in fact, she was trying to turn around, Russel tried to help her, but he was invisible and couldn't touch her. After a minute or so, someone else came to where Kyra was; a guy, Kyra saw him and made an effort to stand up, the guy helped her, she was sobbing silently, her forehead was still bleeding, and her face was covered with blood. Kyra started losing her balance, she hugged the guy and started crying. Russel saw the guy silently pull a knife from his pocket and stabbed Kyra, she made a slight gasp. -Matt? You too...- Kyra died after saying that, Matt coldly threw to the ground and left. Russel heard a small "clink" noise and saw a necklace falling between two rocks. |
