Another Chance

Chapter One

"Who are you and why did you call me here?" I stared at the giant beast that I have seen in my dreams, but have never asked for it's name and why it has show up. The thing on the thrown said, "I'm Deus." I repeated his name in my head so I can remember. "Corona Mizuki, your a teenage murderer." I crossed my arms and blew some hair out of my face. "So what of it?" A purple haired dwarf giggled, "I told you this was a good idea." I raised an eyebrow. "Good idea of what?! You guys are just my imagination! Why am I even speaking to you?" The two chuckled. I see my phone being slowly brought to me. I scoffed. "What? How did you even take my phone? Is this suppose to scare me?" I asked. The creature said, "How would you like to participate in a game?" I tilted my head, interested. "A game? Oh I very much enjoy games~" I snatched the phone from the air. Deus said, "A killing game for the thrown of God." My smile twitched, "G-God?" Murmur said, "In your phone is a diary, the Murder Diary. It can tell the future." I grinned, "I- I like the sound of that!" I tried my best to hide my laugh, causing my mouth to twitch. Murmur said, "You can track all of your victims with it and the best way to corner them." I nodded and hugged the diary to my chest, "Th-Thank you!" "Okay 3rd, you have others to meet." I tilted my head, "Others?"

I was transported to an arena type area with shadow people around me. "Wh-why is 3rd here?! Aren't you suppose to be dead?!" Ah, so this is what they mean by, "Meet the others." Another said, "How is this possible?" Murmur said, "Sorry for all the confusion! 3rd died to quickly so we thought that we would get another one to take his place! Meet 3rd everybody!" "Is that even fair?" I smirked, "Oh grow up!" Everyone was silent. I giggled. "The first one was stupid and didn't think." I pointed at myself with my thumb. "I'm the better and smarter 3rd! Don't get so cocky! I'm not like the old one!" "You talk really big for a newbie." One said. I grinned, "Gotta make my first impressions." I put my hands on my hips. "Be prepared! Look around every corner! I know where you'll be and I'm ready to strike you at any moment! HAHAHAHAHA!" I waved bye to them and left.

I woke up and gulped. "I hope made a good impression . . . " I covered my mouth and back up against a wall. That excitement. The adrenaline. Knowing that others might kill- I smiled ear to ear. I giggled, but that giggle turned into a hysterical laugh. "KYEHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I wiped a funny tear away. "What a fun change of pace! Now I won't have to quit this boring job!" I looked at the time. "I have to go to school I guess." I shrugged. "Such a bore." I yawned. I put on my and . I looked in the mirror and put on a wide smile and held up a peace sign. "My name is Lily Corona at your service!" I gagged. "What a disgrace to the Corona family name . . . " I looked in the mirror, looking at the similarities and differences between our facial features. There were many, I had freckles, she didn't, I had black hair, she had blonde. There were many more, but it would take to long to list all of them.

I sighed, "What a boring routine." I picked up my pick bag and walk to school. I walk inside the classroom, sitting on my desk, girls walking up to me, talking to me, smiling at me, they're all so boring. All they talk about are boys, nothing else, all I have to do is pretend that I care. "Oh Lily! You're so pretty! All the guys talk about you!" "I wish I was you!" "I hate you!" One said in a sarcastic way. I giggled. "Oh you! I hate you too!" I smiled. I felt someones staring at the back of my head. Everyone was either in front of me or not here yet. The only person who could be looking at me would be Aru Akise, detective. I had a feeling that he's been on to me, but I'm not sure if he has gotten the right clues yet, I just have to act normal. "Lily-Chan? Are you okay?" I snapped out of my daze and nodded. "Yes, I am. Don't worry about it." I smiled. "Excuse me, Corona." I looked up. Aru . . I smiled. "Yes Aru-Kun?" The detective said, "You look a bit pale, would you like me to take you to the nurse?" The girls around me said, "Yeah, are you sick, Lily?" I smiled. You idiots. It's just my skin, I'm pale, I know. I shook my head. "I'm alright." I fake coughed on my shoulder. The detective is planning something. I guess I should play along. "Lily! Are you alright!?" I waved it off. "It's nothing-" "Aru-Kun! Please take her to the nurse!" Aru nodded, "Follow me, Corona-Chan." I stood up and followed Aru to the nurse's office.

As Aru and I walked, he asked me about Venus, the serial killer. I shrugged. "I don't know much about Mars. I have heard about her in the news and what not." I said and fake coughed onto my pink sleeve. Aru stopped on his tracks. I was a couple steps in front of him, I turned around when I noticed that he stopped. "Why did you stop Aru-Kun?" I coughed roughly into pink sleeve. Aru looked at me and asked, "How do you know the gender of the killer?" It was silent for a few seconds. Darn it, I slipped. I shrugged. "It's just a guess." Just play it cool.

Aru took a step closer to me, "Oh really?" I nodded and crossed my arms. "I- I don't like things about death . . . " I shook my head and put the back of my hand on my forehead. "Can we please not talk about it?" Aru raised an eyebrow. "When we were talking about Venus, a serial killer, you seemed perfectly fine." I gulped. "I was holding it in, I thought you wanted to talk about it and I didn't want to be rude and stop you." Aru said, "You don't seem like the type. If you don't want to talk about something then you tell someone so they can stop." I sighed. "How boring. I thought playing along with you would be fun, but all you do is ask questions . . . " Aru raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" I twirled the blonde hair with my finger.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about . . . " Aru said, "You're voice . . " "I know, different." I yawned, patting my open mouth with my eyes closed. "I guess I'll just tell you, detective . . " I opened one eyes and smiled. "Surprise surprise!" I stuck my tongue out, crossed my arms making it look like an X and held finger guns. "I am Venus! The serial killer!" I giggled. I put a hand on my hip and looked at my nails. "Man, it sure was tiring acting like that nobody for so long . . . " I yawned again. "It was starting to bore me." I grinned and talked in Lily's voice. "As you can see, I'm not Lily! Not. One. Bit! You're probably wondering who I really am?" I giggled. "You're a detective right?!" I said in my normal voice, my voice rising. "FIND OUT YOURSELF!" I looked back at Aru, slowly walking up to me. I grinned. "I knew telling you would be much more fun." I winked and swiftly ran past him, running to the exit of the building, hearing Aru and I's foot steps echo though out the halls, people asking what's going on or where we were going. All I did was ignore them.

I ran out of the school, closed the door shut and ran away back home. I quickly got inside and closed the door behind me, turning my back to the door. I panted and grinned. "I'm having so much fun!"
