She had awoken... Or atleast she thought she had. She was lying in her bed, in the place that she had called home for most of her life. She got up and looked at the mirror. She was shocked, the scratch on her face was gone... Or was it ever there in the first place? She began to wonder if the previous events had been nothing but a dream. She took one last look at her arm and assured herself it was nothing.
Quote from: Reiko ThinksWas it all just a dream? Did Blake and that woman really exist?
A sizzling sound came from the kitchen. She hurried down to see who it was. A tear rolled down her cheek, she couldn't believe it, it was her brother!
Quote from: Kaishou SaysRei?
He saw Reiko's tears and he cheered her up. Although he planned on heading back to work today, he decided he'd spend the day with his sister. Together, Reiko had one of the best days in her life. However, the day was cut short as they were walking home from wonderland. The streetlights suddenly turned off and all the cars disappeared. She clung to her brother's arm and held it tightly. It was already night and dark out she noticed. It was silent for awhile until they heard the sound of footsteps.
Quote from: Reiko ThinksNo, no, no, no, no! This isn't happening! I'm just imagining things!
A mysterious voice yelled out
Quote from: Mysterious Voice SaysOn the contrary, my sweet little Rei. This isn't just your imagination...
A figure came from behind a streetlight. Their face and body was completely concealed but she could tell it was a woman.. In her head she re-called the woman from her dream that was part wolf. She began to panic.
Quote from: Kaishou SaysRei.. Step back, I'll protect you.
He charged at the woman but it seemed futile as she dodged all of his attacks. The woman finally decided to strike back, and she did, quite hard. The blow sent Kaishou flying into a pole, his face bleeding quite a bit. Reiko began to cry as she looked at the woman.
Quote from: Mysterious WomanMy sweet sweet Reiko. You have so much potential but you don't use it. You could be so much more if only you weren't timid. Tell you what? How bout you let me have control over your body? We all know you don't have the willpower to find your brother. If you hand over your body, we can find him a lot more quickly, what do you say?
Reiko was confused. She thought that before, the deaths, the loss of her brother and all the other events had been nothing but a dream but she began to wonder if this... was the dream. The woman than removed her mask and Reiko was in utter shock. It was a metallic version.. of her!
Quote from: Metallic ReikoDid you want an explanation? I'm you.. in a sense yet I'm not you. I'm an organism that exists inside of your body. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead right now. I am the reason YOU were not affected by the pandemic. I cannot live outside a host you see... and I'm immune to this pandemic. So at that time, we were helping each other out but now.. now I don't think I need a weak girl like you anymore.
Reiko didn't want to believe what this.. thing was telling her. And in a rage, she charged it. But before any blow could be made.. she woke up. She had a minor headache and most of her body was sore, particularly her left arm.
