A/N: Is anyone reading this? I'm continuing either way.

Last time…

"The girl never sleeps. The only time she can't hear us is when we're asleep. She hears us right now. She says that everyone will suffer." - Aurore.


Céléna ran out of the bathroom, clutching her daughter close for fear of losing her.

Céléna's parents had the van, so she put her daughter in the passenger seat of the Turcell, before going around to jump in the driver's seat.

As they drove, Céléna felt her panic lessening.

"Aurore, do you mean to tell me that you can see her?"

"No. Just hear her sometimes. She scares me mommy. She says she's going to take you away."

Céléna didn't press the matter, but concentrated on getting to the mall.

"Alright, hon." Céléna said, surveying the list of playing movies a half-hour later. "What do you want to see?"

"Narnia. And then we should get the book."

Céléna smiled.

Two hours later, they had seen the movie, bought the book, and were sitting with a lemonade/green-tea each.

"Céléna Lajoie?"

Céléna looked up from the book she had been reading to Aurore, and gasped.

It was the man in her dream.

"May I sit here?" he indicated the chair opposite the sofa she and Aurore were on.

"Uh… yeah."

"Thank you." he settled in, then turned back to Céléna.

"Do excuse my bluntness, but I am here to help you about the video."

Céléna turned to her daughter.

"Aurore, maybe you should go play around in the kids' section for a while. I'll come and get you later."

And with a kiss on her head, Aurore left.

"Alright. What can you tell me?" Céléna said, placing both hands on the table.

"All I know at the moment is that, in order to survive, you need to make a copy and have someone else watch it."

"I know that. Anything else?"

"I can tell you who the girl is. I'm also assuming you can't read the Japanese writing on the screen. I can."

Céléna's eye widened.

"How did you know? Who are you?"

"I am Ryuji Takayama, and I have seen it before."

A/N: Uh… isn't he dead? Hmm… not in this version! I'll explain his history according to my story… next chapter! Or the next. Whichever.
