----------------------------------------

Ren looked over her calm face, she looked as if she was having a wonderful dream, a happy dream. Ren reached out his hand. He was wondering if he should wake her up. It was pretty late. He stared at the clock that hanged just right above the door of the room.

11:25 PM

'Hmm.. how long have I been knocked out? And how long was Rin here for..'

"Hey Rin.. wake up.. it's time to wake up."

Ren gently shaked Rin. She slowly opened her eyes.

*yawn*

"Ahhh! Ummm.. how long have you been staring at me sleeping."

Rin was caught off guard, she wasn't suppose to fall asleep. She just wanted to wait until Ren woke up. In the end, she got so tired and accidently fell alseep next to him.

"Umm.. not that long, I guess..."

Rin's face turned red, she was embarassed about the situation. Ren and Rin were giggling and making fun of each other.

"I think it's time to leave, it's getting a bit late."

"Yeah.. hey Rin, where do you live?"

"What! Why do you want to know?"

She stared at him with a cautious look. 

"Oh nothing, I just thought I could take you home, since it's kinda late."

"No. I think I'll be fine. You worry about yourself. Ok?"

"Yeah."

As they grabbed their bags and were about the leave the clinic room. Rin grabbed Ren's shirt.

"Hey Ren, what happened to you? Why did you faint in class today? Are you sick or something?"

Rin had a look of concern as she wondered what happened to Ren. Ren notice her concern face and said it was nothing to worry too much about.

"I probably didn't have enough sleep."

He tried to zone away from the tense atmosphere. 

"Ren, you know you should take care of yourself more. Make sure you go home and get a nice rest. Don't worry about class notes, I'll provide them when you have your energy back."

"Yes mam."

Ren saluted Rin in a joking manner. He felt that with these long talks and jokes, it makes him feel that they've known eachother for a very long time like childhood friends. Ren walk towards the door and opened it. The hallway of the university was dark. Like everyone was either sleeping in their dorm or went home. It was only Ren and Rin.

'Shit.. I hate this darkness. I wonder if Rin would be scared of this?'

"Hey Rin? Do you think you can go by yourself in this darkness? You live in the girl dorms right? Isn't that a bit far?"

"Ren, who do you think I am? I'm not scared of the dark and yes I do live in the girl dorm. Ren you don't have to worry about me, just worry about yourself and your health."

"Ok. If you say so.."

'I didn't want to depart with Rin, the university was scary at night. I hope that nothing pops out and scare the living shit out of me.'

They both walked seperate directions. Ren quickly looked back. Rin was walking down the halls, she quickly disappear with a quick turn to the left hall. Ren began to walk down the stairs. Creepy sounds came echoing around the university.

*click*

*ding*

*scratch*

'Why does this university have to be so scary at night. I don't like this at all.'

The darkness of the hallways were too hard for his eyes to focus. A strange shadow zoomed pass him as he was walking down the stairs.

"Hello? Rin? Is that you? Are you playing a prank on me or something?"

*scratch*

He could hear the sound of nails scratching against something, making a shrieking sound.

"AHHHHH!"

Ren could hear a loud scream coming from the direction Rin went. It was on the second floor. He ran up the stairs as fast as he could to the sound of the scream.

'Once I heard that scream, I used up all my strength to get up the stairs and to run to the screaming sound. I was hoping that, that scream wasn't from Rin. I hope. I hope. I hoped.'

It was very weird, the scream stopped after one holler. Like someone or something had silence it. Ren carefully walked towards the hallway near the clinic. He stepped slowly and carefully.

*snapped*

*crunch*

*crack*

'What is that sound? The sound looks like it's coming from the end of the hallway, where Rin went to. Please don't tell me...'

Ren sprinted. He made a quick turn to the left where Rin had gone. His eyes opened wide.

*crunch*

*snapped*

*splat*

'My eyes must be deceiving me.. hehe, this can't be happening.. Rin? Are you okay? This isn't a joke right?'

"Rin! THIS ISN'T A JOKE RIGHT!!! What am I saying, this can't be a joke."

Ren has lost his mind. What he was looking at was nothing but a dark shadow slowly devouring away at Rin's lifeless body. Blood dripped down on the ground like a can of red paint that was accidently spilled on the clean floor. The scent of blood covered the hallways. 

*crack*

*snap*

The dark shadow noticed Ren was watching it. The thing quickly devoured Rin's body. It was like a vacuum, Rin's body was gone in an instant. The blood on the ground was gone too. Nothing was left at the scene of the crime.

'That was when I knew, the thing that the news and police wanted to find out, the thing that ate my friend. Was something supernatural. Something none of us could fight.'

Ren couldn't move his legs. His hands started to shake as the thing slowly creeping towards him. The thing towered over Ren.

'It's all over. At least we could die TOGETHER right, Rin?'

*shriek*

*snap*
