Mia’s Springtime Ghost Story Night
Immediately after she started walking, Mia felt thirsty.
“… There should be a jug of water in the room …”
She was sure that Anne prepares one for her before she goes to bed… but once Mia goes to bed, she wouldn’t wake up at night. The more she thought about it, the less sure she was. She wasn’t sure if Anne prepares the jug for her at night, or if she brings it in early in the morning.
The truth about this is that Anne actually brings one before going to bed and prepares a new one every morning. Such a loyal vassal. Anyway…
“…If I go back to my room and find that there’s no jug of water, I might not be able to go back to sleep.”
Once Mia started worrying about something, she can’t stop worrying about it. If she needs to drink because she is thirsty, then she really needs to gulp down water, even if this might mean another trip to the bathroom again. But for now, she just wants to quench her thirst.
It’s not that far from here to the cafeteria. Rather than returning to the room right away…
The cafeteria has spring water that is available for anyone all the time. The Principality of Belluga has abundant water. Even if it there was no water-drinking tap on each room, the water-related facilities were generally in place.
Bolstered by her successful trip to the bathroom, Mia turned to set out to the cafeteria.
… As though pulled by some invisible force.
When Mia arrived at the entrance to the cafeteria…
“Oh? What’s that sound…”
The sound that Mia’s ears caught was like sobbing, or sniffling. It was like a girl was trying to hold back the sound of her cries…
At the moment, the story she heard in the daytime revives in Mia’s mind. The story of the ghost of a female student who killed herself!
“No way, it’s impossible, absolutely …”
She should have just back away, turned heels, and ran. However, Mia was curious as to where or who was making the sounds…
“Heeee!”
Involuntarily, Mia squeal and froze.
There was a girl in the darkness. She was probably a little younger than Mia. Rough hair, worn-out clothes and dingy skin made her look like a slum’s resident, unsuitable as a St. Noel’s student.
But… what caught Mia’s eyes even more was the red color that dyed the girl’s body. The light that illuminates the dining room was faint. Nevertheless, the red burned into Mia’s eyes. The red liquid that drips from the girl’s head to the body, then to the floor forming a puddle… it’s like …!
“Hiiii!”
Mia intended to scream. But all that came out of her mouth was a faint, thin scream.
What is that!?? I-is it the ghost of a bloody schoolgirl!?? Hii!
Stumbling out of the dining room, Mia ran towards her room. Her indoor slippers flew somewhere, but she couldn’t be bothered about it at the moment. Mia was barefoot on the corridor floor and trying to run with all her might… but her body didn’t move fast as she would like to… it was as if she was in a nightmare. Also, she wasn’t sure if it was just on her mind but…
Eeeek! Someone is chasing after me!
The sound of footsteps was following Mia. They were faster than Mia’s and definitely catching up.
Mia reached her room, and cried out…
“Anne! Anne!”
She jumped into Anne’s bed with a terrified voice. But strangely, there was no one in bed.
“Anne, why? What’s going on? Where are you?”
At that time, an unpleasant imagination springs up in Mia’s mind. There was no other person in this world aside from Mia and that monster. It is something that she remembered Dora, her horror-loving classmate, had told her.
Why do I remember such a scary story at this time!?? That’s impossible! I’m sure, yes! Anne might have woken up and realized I was gone. She might have been worried and was looking for me! That’s all! There’s no way everyone would just disappear like that… that would be a nightma-…
It was then that Mia noticed a serious mistake.
The lock! I forgot to lock the doo-… Eeeek!
At that moment, she could hear the creak of the door opening. Mia hurriedly hid under the covers and desperately closed her eyes.
I’m sure it’s Anne. Anne is back. It must be so …! Other than that, it’s impossible. It’s impossible …
…something came up on the bed.
It’s strange. If it was Anne, she should say something to me!
Fearfully, Mia opens her eyelids slowly just a bit. And there…, the girl’s face dyed in something bright red can be seen just before her own face!
Hi, hii good! Ah…….
With that, Mia lost consciousness.
Hello everyone, Mermaid Fish here. Sorry for having no updates. I was in the hospital for almost a month. What happened was I broke my elbow, sent to the hospital. Got a cast, and was supposed to be sent home in a day or two. However, when I was supposed to be discharged, I tested positive for Covid. At first, I didn’t thought of it much. 5 days later, I was moved to Respiratory ward because my breathing was laboured, and I was on a ventilator. Never thought I would experience it first-hand, especially since I got my 2 jabs and booster already. All I can say about Covid is like taking a deep breath, but never really being able to fill my lungs, and then the next thing, I feel like I’m drowning.
Anyway, it was only yesterday that I was released from the hospital. These last three chapters were already done before I was in the hospital.
I hope to take it easy for awhile. I hope you all didn’t miss me too much.
-Mermaid Fish.
