Chapter 10

As Okara flew home he began thinking about what he was going to say to Cassa and Bell about his outfit and body, he began interpreting conversation.

"Okara, what did you do? What happened? Why are you so beaten up?!" Okara said mimicking an attempt at Cassa's voice.

"I'm fine, I was just training and set the bar a little too high. Yeah! That's it! We'll use that for any of those questions."

Okara was smiling heavily as he sped up towards the house. As he saw it in view he smiles widen. He instantly burst down to the front door and collected his thoughts one last time.

"Alright, we got this!"

Okara turned the doorknob and walked in.

"I'm house, Cassa, Bell!" Okara said closing the door behind him. As he walked towards the kitchen expecting someone to be in there, there was nobody. But he did hear voices coming from the dining room and as he rushed in he finds himself still alone. Okara creeps up to the bedroom doors and peeks behind the doors. No one again. Quickly Okara looked outside to see if Bell's truck was here, and it was.

"I swear I heard..."

Okara began to worry as Cassa's voice came from the dining table. Quickly he walked over to it and heard a voice recording. Okara pulled out a seat at the table and sat down. Looking at the voice recorder.

"Why is Cassa's voice coming from this?" He wondered as he picked it up and accidentally hit the rewind button. He sees the tape inside spinning backward as it restarts itself.

"What the..."

Instantly the tape stopped rewinding and the button popped back up. Okara looked around in confusion, then started pushing buttons till one clicked, that was the play button. In an instant, Cassa's voice along with Bell's in the background started playing.

"So, I just push this right, Bell?"

"Yup, and if you hit this it'll stop what you're recording." Bell said as Okara listened.

"Go on, Cassa. Just talk into it."

"Okay, hi Okara! If you're hearing this that means I learned how to use this thing. Bell says it's called a tape recorder. It records and keeps anything spoken into it for a long time."

Okara kept listening as Cassa and Bell giggle on the recording.

"Go on, tell him." Bell said as she and Cassa giggled again.

"Okay, okay. Well, Okara, there is something I learned today, and it wasn't this tape thingy. I don't know how to put it. But I'll put it like this. Okara you're..."

Suddenly a loud bang sounds from behind Okara, murking what Cassa was trying to say. But it also took Okara's attention.

"Who's there!" Okara shouted as he forcefully got up and turned around. Facing someone who stood in the shadows of the room. Okara stared at them as the tape continued playing.

"So is that all I do?" Cassa asked.

"Yeah, now you just hit-."

Suddenly more background noise started appearing in the tape and Okara took his eyes off the shadowy figure and locked them onto the tape.

"Cassa! Watch out!" Bell shouted as loud grunting and screaming were coming from the tape.

"Quickly, get them to the truck. We need to hurry before Okara comes back." Said Rose as that was the last thing the tape recorder recorded. Okara's breathing was so off. He started sweating in anger.

"Where!" Okara threw his attention to where the shadowy figure was.

However, they were gone. Okara hastily rushed to where they were and looked around in every room. Trying to find them. As he bashed out the front door, he finds one last surprise at his feet. Blood... and white feathers, as he looked up a little more in front of him. He felt a feeling of sorrow for the first time in a while. Tears slowly fill his eyes as he etches towards it. Stepping in blood with each sluggish movement.

"B-Bell... The Second..."

Bell The Second's body was lying before him. A hole through her body. Bleeding profusely, Okara fell to his knees with even more horrible thoughts spreading throughout his mind. Soon enough he couldn't take it, his mind goes numb, immediately screamed into the sky in anger. His scream being heard in the mountains and grasslands. Tears flow from his eyes as rain begins pouring down from the sky. He buried Bell The Second by the other little graves. Which had names such as, Bella, Belford, Bellin.

"You're with the others now, Bell The Second. I hope you find rest for your soul..."

Okara jammed the shove into the ground beside Bell The Second's grave, and looked out into the distance and saw a large tower from Westfall city.

"If anyone can help me, it's Coll." Okara said as he rushed back into the house to pack a few things. As he searched for useful items. He happened upon a gi, in the bedroom Bell gave him.

"This should work."

Quickly he got dressed out of his ragged clothing and into something new. As he finished putting it on, he found it to be a perfect fit. Lastly, he grabbed the tape recorder and walked out the front door for the last time. Feeling the breeze drift his hair and new gi. His gi had a gray long-sleeve undershirt with one sleeve, and a completely black top and gray pants, that matched his undershirt, lastly he had a purple belt, and black boots.

"Don't worry, Cassa... Bell, I'm coming for you guys, Just hang on!" Okara said as he floated upwards and bursts off towards Westfall city. Holding onto his backpack tightly. Lightning crackling as thunder roars throughout the dark sky.

"What do you want with us?!" Bell asked with great fear in her throat. Rose paid no attention to her as she continued inputting commands on her robotic computer.

"If you hurt us! My husband will find you, and he will-."

"He will what? Kill us? Doesn't sound like a heroic thing to do." Rose said as she turned from her computer.

"H-He'll..."

"Oh, suck it up! He isn't coming for you!"

"You don't know that!" Bell shouted.

Rose looked at her with a blank expression.

"Oh my dear, I believe I do. You see."

Slowly Arako begins walking into their view.

"He's already dead." Rose says as Arako stands before Cassa and Bell. Their faces in terror as they look at the evil Okara looking before them.
