Part 5: Back Into the Mix
Pt. 5As I wake up I feel that I’m on the bed in my I must’ve fallen unconscious. I wonder what it was from? I could’ve sworn I fell on the floor. “Maybe they carried me to my bed after I fell unconscious. If they did, then maybe their nicer than I thought they were.” Well maybe not all of them, I bet the horse guy didn’t carry me. He doesn’t seem like the nicest guy in the world or the kind of guy who help anyone if it didn’t benefit him in anyway. I decide to sit up and maybe see how much time is left. As I sit up I feel that my hands have gone numb and I have a slight headache, probably from falling down on the floor. Why does this have happen to me now? I think to myself.
“Though I suppose it’s my own fault, I know I shouldn’t stress myself out and I haven’t even had any of my medication yet…” Life can be so cruel sometimes. When you think life is going go for you...something terrible always has to happen to you and make it all crashing down doesn’t it. Well...nothing good will happen from thinking so negatively, I smile wryly while thinking that. I brake from my trance and look towards the monitor on the wall to see how much time is left until the next “judgement”.
“Half an hour, huh. How long have I been asleep?” My headache is still there, hammering on my head. It feels like I’m having a migraine. I’m tempted to hold my head in one of my hands, but...they’re still cuffed. I feel like this is going to be a natural thing that occurs, me wanting to use my hands but I just can’t. I feel like going back to bed, but I know that if I do I’ll probably die and that can’t happen. What should I do now with my free time? Maybe I could talk to the others or maybe I should just stay here. I get up from my bed, my body protesting it’s disturbance of peace that it knows that it is oh-so-precious. I want to stay as well, but it’s better to talk to other and get on their good sides, maybe I could manipulate them into doing things for me like telling me information that they might know. I start walking to the center area and see that there are only a few people. The female fox again, the male bear, and the female rabbit. The female fox and rabbit seem to be talking to each other And the bear is just in the corner watching them. The rabbit and fox look at me as I shuffle out of my room. But, the bear doesn’t do anything, maybe he was staring into space and not at them?
“Well! Look who's awake!” One of them says. I don’t know which one said it because their faces are covered and they’re both looking at me. I don’t say anything, I just woke up and I feel a little fatigued.
“Come on, say something to let us know your still a little alive!”
“Why are you yelling so much?” I mumble when I get to them. “I've got a huge headache.”
The rabbit cocks her head to to the left, “Then why did you get out of bed,” I feel like she’s glaring at me while she is saying that. “You should stay in bed if you don’t feel good. I would feel your head to make sure you’re okay, but that would be very weird.” she says in a weirdly motherlike, but monotone voice. It's...a little strange to hear.
“Sorry…” I grumble “It’s just that there’s not that much time left and I wanted to get to know you guys, I guess.”
She just sighs and said, “Fine do whatever you want. But, if you collapse again don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
I respond with just an ‘okay’. Then I ask them, “So what do did you guys do before you got kidnapped?”
The rabbit was the first to respond, “I was a nurse at a hospital in Shibuya, I actually quite liked the job. I always loved to see the happy faces of people after they were taken care of. But of course there was always the feelings of sorrow when...when some patients died, some deaths more gruesome as others unfortunately.” She shakes as she says this.
“Are you okay?” I ask concerned
“Yeah, I’m fine...I was just remembering a something bad.” She says in a shaken voice.
“Okay what about you fox?” I say looking at her.
“Oh me? Well I was an practitioner before all...this.” She says looking around. “I mean the job wasn’t too bad and damn did I get some good money out of it. So yeah it was a pretty damn well paying job.”
Me and the rabbit just stare at her we don’t say anything to her and then we started staring at each other. Then we start staring at the fox again.
She looks at us asks us whats wrong and I say, “Well...it’s that you act pretty closely to the sin that you represent…”
“Oh well...that’s just how I am and if you have a problem with it, well then thats your problem and I don’t really give a shit how you feel.”
“Wait thats no-” Before I could even finish my sentence there was a loud jingle that played in the main area where we were with the female monotone voice following it, “It is now time for the second judgement, sinners return to your cell to begin. If you do not return, then you will be executed.”
Then the fox turns to me and the rabbit, “Well now it’s time for us go.” Then she turns and starts walking to her cell, “Try not to die! Hahahaha!”
“Yeah you too!” I yell back.
“Good luck” I turn towards her, “I would rather you not die. You don’t seem like that bad of a guy.”
“Thanks, you too. You seem like a good person too.”
“Thanks. See you on the other side.” She then starts walking to her cell.
I then start walking towards my own cell. What will happen in this judgement? What messed up situation will we be placed in? WHO will be placed in that situation? Who will die? And who will be forced to take on the burden of taking another human life? Well we’ll find out in a little bit I guess.
I walk into my cell and the door automatically closes and locks itself behind me. Time for the ‘game’ to continue.
