The Secret

II

Gumi was in the grounds helping the members of their club to set up when she saw someone in her peripheral vision. She turned and saw a girl that look just like her, from hair to toe. "Hmm, that's weird. Is it my doppelganger? Do I have one?" She was about to ignore what she saw when she noticed that the girl was dragging something behind her. Like a body. And let's blame it on curiosity for she followed the figure until they reached the Science Laboratory, and what she saw was really horrifying.

She saw look-a-like Gumi was peeling off her face, and what she saw petrified her.

It was Miku.

Miku took out a small drill from her backpack. And why she hasn't been caught in bringing that kind of thing, nobody knows. Miku put holes in Justine's forehead using her drill. But when she realized that it would take her time to open his skull, she sliced Justine's forehead and opened it. She licked her mouth and grabbed his brains barehanded. She was about to lick it, when she heard a gasp.

Gumi couldn't bear watching that scene at all. She was about to puke. And to her surprise, the door opened and she saw Miku, face full of blood, Justine's blood. 

"Why hello, my friend!" she greeted "W-what did you just do?" "Oh, I want his brain. He's so good in making plans. I wonder how many days he spent planning to humiliate you in front of everybody," Miku replied, licking her bloody fingers.

"T-the things you collected, y-you c-collect—" 

"Body parts, human and animal body parts. They're so lovely! And I love watching people writhe in pain every time I chopped one of their parts. Well, the easiest part was cutting Layla's tongue. Easy pisy. You really thought I collected cat stuff, huh" Gumi couldn't think. She can't fathom the fact that her friend can do it.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you killing people? And, wh-why do you have a mask that look just like me?" Gumi asked though her eyes were glued on Justine's body. 

"They humiliated you! I don't want them to hurt my dearest Gumi. You're precious and you're perfect. And your skin, oh your skin, I badly want to have those. As to the mask, well, my dad's pretty good at making one, and I got him to do it for me," Miku giggled. Gumi was horrified of her answer. But even though she was trembling in fear, she gathered up of what's left with her strength and got up and was about to flee when Miku grabbed her collar.

"You wanna know my secret, Gumi?" "I already know", Gumi replied, sobbing. "Now, Gumi, what do you love to collect?" Miku asked, licking her pocket knife so hard that her tongue bleeds.

The next day, at the school's fair, everyone went to the Collectionist Club's display. They always have unique and interesting stuffs that were displayed there. Miku looked at the displays and was pleased when she saw her two boxes on the table. Her most prized collection.

Everyone was so excited to open those boxes when they heard a shout coming from one of the laboratories.

"What happened?" one of the students asked the girl who ran horror faced.

"T-two dead bodies were found at t-the science laboratory. O-one was Justine's, his b-b-brain m-missing. And the other one's unidentified. Only the torso was left!" After the girl said that, the student passed out of fright.

Miku was just listening and she fished out something in her pocket. A paw. Little did anyone know that it was her pet cat's paw. But something caught her attention. One of the curious students opened her boxes and passed out. When the other one looked what was inside to know why the student passed out, he shouted, 

"T-THERE'S A BRAIN IN H-HERE! AND G-G-GUMI'S BODY CHOPPED OFF!"

Miku smiled and asked herself, "I wonder what my next friend wants to collect?"
