I gasp, falling on the floor. Just then, a crest of biting agony overwhelms my every nerve. Then I pitch a scream so animalic and deafening it burns my throat.

Pain. Pain. Pian.

My blood is here and there, spilling into the floor with no intent of stopping. I try pressing my hand upon the gushing wounds, but the pain alone threatens to send me to unconsciousness. Tears unstoppably sag from my widely open eyes down my pale cheeks.

I can see Lisa and Hyunjin dash towards me, faces as pale as death. I can overhear Momo's loud scream and her twin–Felix–clasping a shaking hand on his mouth.

They're pretty good actors, a voice suddenly speaks in my mind. I ignore it; why would they act horrified at my being stabbed?

''I'm fine.'' I try to mutter, but my voice comes out a cough– anguished. My clothes are coated with black blood, while I can clearly see my insides drain. Three long protracted swords batted out of my abdomen.

All I know now is inhuman ire. Pain I doubt an ordinary mortal could've handled. Quick death would have been too humane for the person who sent the obana to murder me. I guess this is how I'll die in the end–a pathetic girl without a family to mourn her.

I take a last shuddering breath as darkness closes my vision.
