Chapter Thirty: Pieces to the Puzzle:
Why? Why? Why? Help me. Asato. Torture. Angel. The
shinigami watched as Anna keep writing. Six words so far and they still didn't
add up.
"What's she
saying?" Tatsumi asked.
"I don't know,"
Watari said. "Let her keep writing." Anna's hand kept moving when the boys heard
the door open behind them. Willow shuffled her feet.
"How is she?"
she mumbled.
"Fine," Tatsumi
said.
"Ah," she said.
"Is she still writing?"
"Yeah," Hisoka
said. The shinigami moved aside to let her through. Willow eyed her friend in
the bed. Anna� She turned to the men.
"Why does she
keep writing?" Willow asked.
"I think she's
trying to tell us something," Hisoka replied. That reminded Willow of something.
"I haven't seen
Tsuzuki around these past few days. Where is he? Have you heard from him?" she
asked.
"No," they said.
"Oh," she
replied. Anna's hand added to the page. Suddenly, Watari caught onto the new
clues.
"Look!" he said.
Anna added three more words to the page. Why? Why? Why? Help me� Asato. Torture. Angel. Trapped. Dark. Pain. Why?
Why? Why?
"The writing's
gotten intense," Tatsumi said. Willow paused at the sound of increased beeping.
She looked and saw the heart motion had sped up with each word. Anna's breath
grew heavy as she sweated buckets. Willow raced to the doorway.
"Nurse!" she
cried. "Nurse, help! Help!" The nurse raced inside.
"What happened?
What's wrong?" she asked.
"Look!" Willow
yelled. The nurse looked inside in shock.
"What the� how
long has she been like this?" she asked.
"A couple
minutes," Willow replied. The nurse hurried to the bed. Anna's hand wrote faster
and faster. Her shock increased with each word.
"We should take
these away," the nurse said as she reached out for the notes. Watari stopped her
as she took them away,
"What are you
doing?" the nurse cried.
"We need those,"
he argued.
"But she'll die
from the stress!"
"She'll be fine!
Trust me!"
"We have to
treat her now! I'm taking these notes!"
"No, you won't!"
"If you don't
take your hands off of me, I'll�"
"Look!" Hisoka cut it. "She's added more words!" Everyone paused for a look. Why? Why? Why? Help me� Asato. Torture. Angel. Trapped. Dark. Tormented. Prisoner. Asato. Has. Me. In. Mind. Help me� Anna ceased writing and her stats returned to a catatonic nothing. Her breathing and heart rate went to normal. No one dared to move.
