Lucy

Bit of context for this chapter i am experimenting with some miscellaneous stories of various side characters and their encounters with the entity known as "Emmia" 

********

School was shut down for a few weeks in order for the police and various officials to investigate the  mysterious death of a male student on school grounds. 

"What happened to him, at least from what we have been told it looks to be suicide but the level of violence seems to severe for it to be self inflicted, but the police could not find any evidence of foul play." Lucy thought as she lay on her bed staring at the ceiling.

The sounds of Lucy's phone disturbed her from her relaxing serenity. 

"Ugh who is it now" Lucy groaned whilst reaching over to grab her phone that was on the bedside table. 

Lucy opened her phone and saw a notification next to her email icon. 

"Hmmm i wonder who is emailing me at this hour" Lucy pondered as she opened up the email. 

"Hey got something cool to show you check this out" the message read with a link that said "Emmia's tale" from Yahiko. 

"Yahiko i think thats the guy from my math class why is he sending me this random garbage, is it a joke or some kind of prank" Lucy said. 

Lucy opened the link and began reading 

Emmia's tale......

Lucy froze in disbelief at what she had just read.

"What kind of sick freak would write something like this much less send it to someone else" Lucy said out loud in disgust. 

Suddenly seemingly of its own accord Lucy phone opened up to a blank message box and words began appearing on the screen.

YOU HAVE READ HER TALE NOW SHE KNOWS.....

S H E C A N S E E Y O U....... 

The phone quickly switched off and in the reflection of the screen Lucy could see the silhouette of a woman standing behind her she could just barely make out its features. The woman had long black hair that was straw like in appearance her eyes were a hollow black and her smile was sickeningly wide. 

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Lucy screamed at the top of her lungs and threw the phone across the room, the phone hit the wall and landed on the floor with a thud.   

Lucy paused for a moment and let the shock of what just happened wear off, she slowly crawled over to the edge of the bed and looked at her phone that was lying on the floor surprisingly still in one piece. 

Lucy sighed deeply then slowly reached for her phone picking it up off the ground.

she opened her phone.....

nothing was there, she accessed her messages and saw that there was no new messages. 

Lucy let out a nervous laugh. 

"Maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me" Lucy said trying to reassure herself. 

Lucy glanced up at the clock and saw it read 11:30PM 

"hmmm i guess a late night shower than a good nights sleep will do me good" Lucy said.

The warm water from the shower soothed Lucy's body and gave her a sense of relaxation and serenity which is just what she needed given all that just happened. she ran her hands through her long pink hair and allowed more of the warm water to caress her slender body.  

Lucy turned the tap of the shower off and the water slowed to halt occasional dripping droplets of water on the floor which sounded with an ominous thud in the silence of the bathroom. 

Lucy wrapped the long towel around her body and used another smaller towel to dry her hair. She stepped out of the shower and walked towards the door that lead back to her bedroom and she had left her clothes on a pile on the bed. 

as her hand gripped the doorknob she glanced over at the bathroom mirror for reasons she could not understand herself......in the reflection stood the same silhouette of the woman who Lucy had seen before standing behind her completely motionless in the exact same pose. 

"NO!" Lucy shouted as she swung the door open and ran out of the room.

Lucy quickly dried herself off with a towel and got changed into her nightwear faster than most humans would think possible. 

That night Lucy lay cowering in fear with nothing but her bed covers to comfort her she stared at the ceiling shaking for what seemed like hours, by around 3AM Lucy could no longer fight fatigue and she fell asleep. 

Lucy was awoken by the sound of her Laptops message alert sound, she shot up and stared across at the laptop that sat on a desk opposite her bed. The laptop was a blank white screen, Lucy summoned the last remaining bit of courage that she had and slowly got out of bed and walked towards the laptop. 

Suddenly the laptop began writing a repeated phrase over and over. 

COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME 
COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME 
COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME 
COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME 
COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME COME TO ME...

Lucy began to sob uncontrollably. 

Lucy felt cold finger tips brush her neck and face, she slowly moved her eyes to see a pair of black hands gripping her neck, she looked back at the laptop which had turned itself off and in the reflection of the glass standing right behind her with her hands cupping Lucy's face and neck was the silhouette she had seen two times previously.

"Plea-" Lucy tried to plead before

SNAP 

The sound of Lucy's neck snapping resonated throughout the room as her body fell to the floor with a sickening thud. 

Next to Lucy's lifeless corpse was her phone which was opened and had a message displayed. 

it read.
