Memories of her past were flooding into Chiaki, situations of embarrassment, horror and sadness. She began to deeply remember the reason she hid her true feelings and self away from anyone she had ever met. It felt like an endless nightmare.
Her emotions began to well up inside of her when suddenly her dream shattered and she awoke. Quickly regaining her consciousness, she found herself in a horrifying place, was she still in a nightmare?
"
Sheezus, ya'll are finally awake? Some princess you are, sleeping around while your friends come to save you." Said an ominous voice, when her vision has finally cleared, she was horrified to see the voices come from... Her own mouth. The being in front of her appeared to be just like her in everyday, the accent aside.
"
Whe-"
"
Where am I? What's going on? Won't somebody please help little ol' me? Geez get a grip you loser. It's not like you're close enough for anybody to care about you. Nobody cares where you are, or what's happening to you!" The being began to taunt her with harsh words... Words Chiaki felt were honest and true. They were hard to hear. Slowly crawling back, Chiaki managed to distance herself and find the strength to stand up. Glancing around, she noticed a few other people were here, she recognized some of them, Rui, Riku, that pervert Matthew and... Noboru?! What on earth were they all doing here?
The accent drifted away. The being stopped its charade, it began a full assault on Chiaki and her emotions.
"
What on earth are you gawking at? These loser aren't here to save you! They had no idea you were even here. No matter how much you try to make yourself known, nobody will understand, care or notice you. Your parents never did. Ahaha! What kind of a daughter are you if your parents don't even love you? A failure and a nobody of course! Ahaha!" Pressing her hands on her ears Chiaki closed her eyes and refused to listen. "
No! Stop! You don't have a clue what you're talking about! My parents love me! I'm close to everybody I meet!" The being laughed rather loudly and walked to the center of the room. Raising up its arms it dazed into a bright spotlight that shined down on itself. "
You haven't figured it out yet? Geez, what a dip. I'm you, and you're me. I'm a shadow. Except, I'm the one hundred-percent real you, and you're just a hand me down fake, that makes you the real shadow sweety. The eyes of the Shadow gleamed gold, its costume faded away, the dress that was once there fell apart and it became quite bare, it now was wearing nothing but a black rose bra that is tied by thorns. adorned bottoms that are a thorn bush with black roses. Its hair became a single braid that contained dying flowers in it.
"
Feast upon me with your eyes! This is what you all want right?! I know it is! My body is the only reason anybody ever had faith in me! Even that old bat that kicked the bucket knew as much!" Chaiki opened her eyes and ran in front of the shadow, stretching her arms out to hide the shadow behind her. Looking at Noboru, she pleaded with them to turn away.
"
No! Don't look! Don't listen! I'm not like that at all! It's not me... Please..." Chiaki turned her head to look at the shadow. "
You're not me! You're nothing like me and can't ever possibly resemble me!"
A small smirk grew on the shadows face. "
Ahahaha, these words. Oh how I've longed for them! Aw, sweetie! As If I even wanted to be you, I'm ma own person now honey!" The shadow began to laugh psychotically. A strange black and red aura began to burn around it. Its' form shifted into
something enormous.
"
AHAHAHA! I'm going to crush you like the measly garden worms ya are!
Once I'm done here, ya'll better believe everybody will rememba' every inch of me! I'll finally stop pretending to be such a ditzy retard!"
The shadow began its assault on the party.
