TBHK Various X Reader I The Girl With Strings I

Chapter 9

I kept replaying it over in my mind...

"You already know the truth... But you're still willing to be friends with a murderer." Hanako stated.

He said he was kidding... But the look on his face seemed.. Angry?

No, it wasn't intense enough to be considered angry...

It was more like-

Yashiro was cut off from her thoughts.

"Hello?" Aoi stated as Yashiro looked back, "What's your deal?"

"Sorry, I couldn't hear you!" Yashiro gave an awkward smile towards her best friend, Aoi.

"You've been spacing out a lot lately, I'm starting to get worried..." Aoi stated, a serious look on her face.

"Or~, are you just lost in a daydream about a new crush?~" Aoi asked teasingly with a smile on her porcelain face.

"No, believe me I wish that's what it was." Yashiro answered while looking down.

"Oh!" Aoi exclaimed as she thought of a way to change the subject.

"I heard a creepy story being passed around recently that you might like."

It is said that you should never step on the fourth stair.

And if you happen to break that rule...

The world of the Dead.

No one will know you've gone missing.

And you will be ripped into tiny pieces.

They say that if you visit the staircase at twilight, you will find the blood of it's victims, dripping from that fourth step.

"I'm sure you've seen it, it's the staircase in front of the art room. I've actually heard a bunch of kids say that they've seen puddles of blood over there." Aoi stated 'Spookily' and laughed creepily at the end.

Meanwhile~

Yashiro was trembling like a leaf in the wind. I mean, who could blame her? The poor girl has been through enough evidence that this could actually be real. She's a Ghost's secretary for Pete's sake!
