But there is not little girl with the flute .....

There was nothing ,nothing but silence . But also in that silence , there was something , something that wasn't visible to her , as if it could see her . Really it bring chills in her bones .

In very cracking voice , she shout ....

" Hey , An-Anybody hear me "

Reiko felt really strange . She start to move .

Crackling sound of the wooden floor under her feet . And Night atmosphere make it scene of some horror movie .

Then , she see a stairs and she thought of going down . All take her step in stairs .

But out of nowhere , she slip and fell ....

She thought she was going to die ...but all of sudden she fell into the lake ...

There is no moon and everything feel strange . She was shocked that how could she feel in lake . And where is this place .

She get up and start to move in dark . She was soak and her cloth were wet . She felt really cold and she was shivering in cold .

She really wish to wake up from this dream .

Suddenly She saw a Inari Fox Stone that a just like in Miya-zaki Shrine. And the path she was walking is same path of shrine.

How did she come all the way from Sakuma Residence to here ? She was confused .

But then suddenly she heard a scream ....

"AHHHHHHHHH....

Instead of running way from there , she rush toward the scream.

She was running and keep running untill she saw shadow ....

She saw a stone well and the man and little girl ... Then the man take axe and cut the head of the girl .Blood and blood .

Her torment and her crackling of getting her neck cut off slowing in rythmn .

The body of the girl fall

Into the well but the head kept rolling

And stop at her feet . She was terrified but with courage she take her shaking hand and try to look her face .

Her face was cover with hair ... She try to look but

When she remove the hair of her eyes .... Her eyes moved ...

She scream and start to run . She start to run .... Run toward the lake and she slip and fell ....
