"Is this yours?" the same voice said to me

  As expected I was back in the girl's bathroom facing my sister holding a peony hairpin

  I stood still trembling from head to toe while my hands covered the scream

  Tears ran down my face as I was overwhelmed with fear

  "Hey are you ignoring me" my sister said frowning at me

  What do I do

  What do I do

  Should I tell her about it but that didn't seem to work

  Then maybe I should just take her out with me

  I slowly removed my hands from my mouth and grabbed my sister's hand

  I didn't want to stay here anymore and attempted to drag her out of the bathroom

  Of course she removed her arm from my hand and gave me a deadly glare

  "You..you don't understand there's..." I was interrupted by a slap on the cheek

  I already expected this to happen after the last time so I opted for trying to grab her arm again after she hit me

  "Are you crazy, don't touch me" she said after removing her arm once again

  I reached out to grab it and another slap landed on my face

  This time it was harder and I staggered back

  But I didn't give up and charged in again

  This time my sister snapped and started to beat me up

  From repeatedly slapping me to kicking my limp body on the ground

  Yet I still tried to grab her leg and drag her out

  "This crazy bitch" she cursed at me

  Me...crazy

  No no it's this whole situation that's crazy

  Why.. why can't you just follow me

  And even now why am I too weak to make you follow me

  It's not like you'll actually appreciate it if I saved you or if I was right

  So why am I trying so hard

  It's because I know that I can't leave you here alone

  No...more accurately I don't want to leave this bathroom alone

  It's too scary

  There must be a lot of crazy students outside the bathroom

  And I'll die if I go by myself

  Plus I would probably be killed by my parents if they find out I'm still alive and you're not

  Honestly it's funny that I'm resisting death after telling myself it was so peaceful

  But is it death I fear or the thought of waking up in this stupid bathroom again

  My thoughts were interrupted with the feeling of drowning

  My sister had dumped the dirty mop water on me

  And once again someone slipped outside the bathroom

  Then doesn't that mean that the crazy student is about to burst out of the toilet

  I have to get up

  My body started to move and I slowly staggered up from the floor dripping

  My sister seemed to have calmed down a bit and was recording me

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  My mind was entirely focused on the occupied stall

  Should I lock it

  It might seem like my imagination but I can hear the person dragging their feet on the ground

  There was knocking on the walls from body contact that put the image of someone standing up from the toilet in my head

  But this someone was awkward and stiff so there was this interaction with the wall

  I should probably lock it

  I finally dragged my feet to the stall but it was suddenly opened and I was attacked

  I died

  .........

  "Is this yours?" My sister's voice resonated in the bathroom

  Ahh

  Ahhhhhhhh

  I screamed

  My sister glared at me and told me to shut up

  I was too shaken up and in fear to respond to her

  I just stood there facing the occupied stall screaming with my hands over my ear

  Suddenly my hair was yanked and my cheeks started to sting

  "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry" I didn't know who I was apologizing to but it just came out accompanied by my choked sobs

  My sister beat me up until we were attacked and I died

  ..........

  "Is this yours?" my sister's voice

  At this point I wasn't in the right state of mind

  No it was more like I wasn't in any state of mind except crippling fear

  My eyes tore away from the stall to the door behind my sister

  I trembled and unsteadily walked to the door

  My sister yanked my hair as I passed by her and dragged me to the floor

  It seems my not responding to her question pissed her off and she beat me up

  I curled into a ball on the ground apologizing

  I'm sorry

  I'm sorry

  I'm sorry

  I just kept repeating those words over and over again until I was drenched in water and attacked

  ..............

  "Is this yours?"

  Once again I tried to get through the door

  I ran for the door and actually made it out but my sister dragged me back inside

  She was pissed I made a scene

  Once again I was beaten up

  .........

  "Is this yours?"

  I ran for the door but I was beaten up

  I died

  ..........

  "Is this yours?"

  I begged my sister with tears in my eyes and on my knees like a dog

  I kowtowed hard on the ground

  My sister laughed at me and teased me

  But it took too much time

  The stall door opened and I died

  ...........

  "Is this yours?"

  I opted for another way out and chose the window

  I landed on the ground outside the window and I was attacked

  I died with my eyes facing upward

  And my sister staring down at me laughing

  ............

  "Is this yours?"

  AHHHHHHHH

  I screamed loudly

  I didn't register anything except fear

  Fear because I knew I wouldn't be able to escape

  Then I registered pain

  Pain from my sister beating me up

  Then I died

  That was peaceful

  Then I was afraid

  Afraid because I knew what the next words I would hear would be

  ..........

  "Is this yours?"

  Is this yours, I thought

  I completely collapsed at this point and just curled into a ball on the ground mumbling apologies

  My sister dumped water on me to get my attention

  I continued shivering on the floor in fright

  The stall door opened

  I was attacked

  I died

  ........

  And so the cycle kept repeating itself over and over again

  I begged for help one of those cycles

  I screamed one of those cycles

  Now I'm just afraid

  I don't have any other feeling except fear

  I was afraid of pain so I couldn't even try to kill myself

  I just curled into a ball having a fear seizure

  Not once did she ever think of fighting back

  Not once did her mind turn to standing up to her sister

  Not once did her mind go to resisting the monster

  No every part of her broken jumbled consciousness was fear

  She had believed that she had been living in a constant state of weakness all her life

  But this is the first time that she truly felt it in her soul

  I am weak

  Utterly and hopelessly so

  I'm not strong or brave or kind

  I despise the people who bully me and myself for not saying anything

  But still I continue to apologize to them without ever thinking of retaliation

  Do you understand the feeling of being angry but you're not strong enough to even imagine in the dark corner of your heart that you would fight back

  To know that even when you're angry, you would still bow your head in sincerity and apologize for them doing wrong to you

  It does sound easy in those books for the weak bullied student to stand up for them self

  Or for them to gain new found courage by dying

  Or for them to want to get revenge

  Revenge

  No I want peace...I want to be left alone

  I don't want to do this anymore

  Someone.... anyone please save me

  Someone please end my suffering

  he he

  Ha ha

  Do you want it to end

  Then accept me and let's destroy this wretched world together

  Let's rain destruction upon our enemies and turn the sea into blood

  Let's end it all

  Ha ha

  Huh

  I was too broken up with fear to completely understand the ramblings

  But the important thing was that it said that it could end it

  Then is it finally coming to an end

  Will I have peace

  Yes

  Yes I agree

  Please end this

  I said with all my heart and soul

  Nothing happened and I was attacked once again

  I died

  But this time it was different

  Longer than usual

  This time there was more pain

  My whole body was being ripped apart

  My head was pounding and I was bleeding from every hole possible

  But I was happy

  Ah it's finally different

  After this much pain, I should finally be dead

  My consciousness blurred and I passed out

  Time passes by

  And the cat made out of black shadow stood in the bloody bathroom

  It walked to the girl on the floor and touched her hands

  Then it melted into the darkness

  The shadows in the hallway rippled as it moved forward

  Mori Aoi trembled and stood up from a pool of her blood in the girl's bathroom

  Her eyes which were originally bloodshot turned a red that was bloody and deep

  Her mouth stretched wide at both sides until she was smiling her biggest smile

  He he

  Ha ha ha ha ha

  She burst into maniacal laughter that was eerie and jarring

  Especially coming from a female covered in blood alone in the bathroom

  Then she abruptly stopped, her eyes rolled backwards and she passed out
