"She's awake."

The whole gang stood and shook at the thought. She finally woke up.

Hero rushed into the room to see her, then Kel and Aubrey followed. They pushed each other, trying to get in the room first. Basil slowly walked inside the room but noticed how Sunny didn't move. He just stood there, not wanting to go inside.

"Sunny?" Basil asked, "Are you coming in?"

Sunny shook his head, his dark eyes filled with guilt. Basil observed Sunny's behavior, and right then he knew it was unusual. But he ignored it. Though Basil suspected something already.

After a few minutes, Sunny couldn't help but enter the room. There he saw everyone surrounding Mari, who was lying weak on the bed. Yet she still had the sweetest smile on her face. It scared him.

Mari sat up from her lying position and looked at Sunny. Everyone else then turned to look at him. All their eyes were on him. He felt even more remorseful than before. But he was more afraid that Mari was awake, she could tell everyone right there about what really happened. I didn't mean it... I really didn't... Tears suddenly ran down Mari's pale cheeks. "Sunny..." she whispered, though it was loud enough for Sunny to hear from a distance. Oh no, here it came. She was about to expose the truth...

But Sunny couldn't breathe, as if something was choking him. It was as if the air suddenly disappeared, and everything faded to black. He couldn't see or hear anything except the bothersome thoughts flooding in his head. He couldn't help but yell...

"I-I'm sorry, Mari! I really am! Please, please forgive me!!!"

Even bigger tears rolled down Sunny's cheeks. He fell to the ground in a sitting position, sobbing his whole heart out. All his friends' expressions were empathetic, but Mari's was... just unusual. Though she spoke first.

"Sunny... come here."

Sunny didn't want to go near them. But he had to anyway. He stood slowly then took steps toward them, as Mari eyed him. Each step he took made him go slower, and slower, and slower... Every time he got closer he could feel the room shake. He felt light-headed as he walked. But he didn't mind... Until he looked back at his sister and friends.

They all had this... smile on their faces. It was creepy to see. And they all never took their eyes off of him. What was happening? As he got even closer, the smiles widened. But their heads were all tilting to the side at the exact same time. Sunny stopped moving forward. But they didn't stop staring. The next thing he knew, a darkness was consuming the room.

Everything was turning to pitch black. Even his friends turned to their silhouettes, except their eyes and creepy grins.

They all had this terrifying cackle, and they couldn't stop laughing. It scared Sunny, his heart felt like it would stop beating and beat 10 times a second at the same time. He stepped backward instead, holding his head, filled with tension. His friends stood and yelled not in sync, repeatedly, and disorganized that it scared him even more.

"Sunny!" They repeated endlessly. Sunny ran from them, but they were always behind him. They chased him into the endless black void. It was nothing but pitch black, and eyes on the walls staring right into his petrified soul. He grew tired of running, but he wouldn't stop. He badly needed to escape his friends. Why were they becoming like this in the first place? Even though it sounded impossible, it was as if it was a normal thing for Sunny.

Sure, he was scared, but not confused. All he felt was fear, guilt, and remorse.

But his friends caught up to him. They all grabbed him with their tight-gripping hands, hurting Sunny as pressure was forced upon him.

As they all grabbed onto Sunny's arms, the grip got stronger each second. They placed so much pressure on him that blood started to gush out his skin. It all flowed down to his feet, and his friends still grabbed onto him. The blood poured down, making a red puddle form on the floor. The puddle started flowing... upwards. More hands started to form from the blood, and they all grabbed onto Sunny again. Sunny felt trapped and scared. It was as if all his pressure and fears came to life to torture him even more.

He couldn't breathe, his heart stopped.

But a voice echoed from a distance. "Focus..." it said.

Sunny didn't want to listen to it, how could he focus amidst all of this? Though the voice was so... comforting. It was familiar.

Sunny tried to focus. All of the creatures started making funny sounds. By funny, it was terrifying. But they seemed to be dying down. Sunny focused again, and they started going away. But every time he focused, the sound of a beating heart would grow louder. Sunny focused one more time. He was free. But he looked up to a red light shining down on him, and something seemed to be falling toward his direction.

It was... a knife?

The knife fell down, stabbing Sunny right in the head. Wow, that hurt.

More blood started to gush out his skin since the knife went right through his head, splitting his brain completely. He was dying in the middle of a black void, with some red areas surrounding him. Sunny could bear the wound. Just not the heavy feelings he had at the moment. It was all hurting him. Hold on, is this even real?

It could be all a dream, a nightmare even. It all made sense, this was all impossible. Sunny had to calm down. He closed his eyes and started to breathe properly. Deep breaths... He inhaled... He exhaled... and hoped for the best.

"Close your eyes, you'll be here soon..."

"Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream..."

Sunny thought today would be Mari's time. But it felt more like his.
