Cherreads

Chapter 3 - captured

Tatski runs into a wall and falls to the ground rubbing her head. The man stands above her with a large grin and pulls something from his jacket

Tatski: "What do you want from me?! I don't have any money or anything so please just stay away!"

The man steps forward and cracks his knuckles

???: "I just want to hear you scream…and taste your blood…"

Tatskis skin turns pale and she shakes in fear. The man lunges forward with a large smile

[Warri household 10:37 pm]

Connie works on his computer. He looks over at phone and a phone call from his classmate appears. He takes a long deep breath before answering

Connie: "Hello."

An energetic voice erupts from the other end

Mimosa: "Hey buddy! I hope you weren't too busy!"

Connie looks down at his half finished assignment and blinks

Connie: "Of course I wasn't. What do you want."

Mimosa: "We should hang out! A new restaurant just opened downtown and I'm free soo we should go!"

Connie blinks blankly

Connie: "No."

Mimosa: "Why not?!"

Connie: "I'm busy. I'll see you tomorrow at school." He hangs up the phone and continues his assignment

Shu burst into Connie's room holding her phone and tears in her eyes

Shu: "TATSKI IS IN THE HOSPITAL!!"

Connie's eyes widen and he stands up instantly

[Nagoya University Hospital]

Tatski lays in the hospital bed connected to several different machines and a thick oxygen mask sits on her face

Shu and Connie burst into the room, Shu instantly runs to Tatskis side and grabs her hand.

Shu turns to the doctor

Shu: "What happened?!"

The doctor walks over and puts his hand on his head

Doctor: "She was attacked by that crazed serial killer…she's lucky to have survived the encounter…"

Connie: "What about the guy who did this?! What happened to him?!"

The doctor opens a file and reads through it

Doctor: "The man was found…dead with several gashes in his abdomen and chest…"

Shu stands up and stares at the file

Shu: "Who did that to him?"

Doctor: "The woman who found Tatski unconscious said the man was already dead when she arrived…so it's a complete mystery…"

Tatskis eyes roll open and she slowly sits up

Tatski: "Where am I…"

Shu lunges to her and hugs her deeply

Shu: "I'm glad you're okay!!"

Connie: "I'm glad you're feeling okay Tatski."

Tatski: "What happened?"

The doctor steps over and clears his throat

Doctor: "You were attacked by a deranged man. You're lucky to be alive…"

Tatskis eyes widen as she remembers the encounter. She breaths a sigh of relief

The door swings open and 2 police officers walk in followed by a woman holding a clip board

Everyone stares at them and Shu walks over to them

Shu: "Is there something we can help you with officer?"

The woman clears her throat

Fumi: "My name is Fumi. I work with the Special Agency of supernatural powers or the S.A.O.S.N.P. Our radars have picked up something coming from your daughter and we'll have to take her in for questioning."

Connie steps forward with an angry expression

Connie: "She just woke up from being attacked. If there are any questions you need to ask then ask us. Well be happy enough to answer."

Fumi: "Youre not needed. Now give us the girl and no one will get harmed or arrested."

Fumi snaps her fingers and the two police officers start walking towards Tatski. Connie steps in their way.

Officer 1: "Step out the way. Or else."

Connie: "No."

The officer grabs Connie's arms and slams him to the ground handcuffing him. Shu screams in anger and runs over punching the officers back. He pushes her off and drags Connie out the room. Tatski stares in confusion before the second officer grabs her and drags her out the bed.

Tatski: "Let go of me! Let go!"

Shu: "Let go of her damnit!"

Tatski gets dragged out the room and Fumi stares at Shu with a small smile and walks out.

[5 days after the capture of Tatski]

Connie walks into the school building with a bandage patch on his head and his wrist covered in bandages.

Beatrice, Hana and Sora walk up to Connie

Beatrice: "Excuse me! You're Tatskis older brother right? Tatski hasn't been to school in quite some time and she hasn't answered any of our calls or texts! We're quite worried about her."

Hana: "I-it's unlike her…she never misses school…a-and she never ignores us like that!"

Sora: "Maybe she was taken by the shawdow government and started doing experiments on her, hehe…"

Connie looks over at them with a blank expression before sighing

Connie: "She's gonna be gone for awhile…we don't know where she is or how long she's gonna be gone. She was taken the police for questioning but they won't let us see her…"

Beatrice steps forward and frowns

Beatrice: "The police? Why in good heavens would she be taken by the police?! I know her anger is a problem but she would never-"

Connie: "They told us she killed a man."

Their eyes widen and they all step back in shock

Hana: "Tatski…? Killed a man? That's…impossible!"

Sora: "I find it hard to believe."

Beatrice: "Is there anything else you can tell us? Anything at all?"

Connie: "We was taken by an organization who called themselves S.A.O.S.N.P. That's all we know now"

The bell rings and Connie walks away to get to his first class

Soras eyes widen as she hears the name and she turns to Beatrice and Hana

Sora: "S.A.O.S.N.P!? I've heard that name! They deal with supernatural entities and keep them secret from the general public! I only know about it due to my extreme research in the history of past religions."

Beatrice: "But that doesn't explain why they would take Tatski…it makes no sense."

Hana: "Maybe…maybe it has something to do with her white hair and her eyes…she's not like anyone else on earth…"

Everyone thinks for a moment before Sora comes to a conclusion

Sora: "What if…what if Tatski is a relative of the Witch of Japan…or even the lost child!"

Beatrice: "That's ridiculous. That story took place almost 110 years ago. It doesn't add up."

Sora opens her notebook and reads through some notes

Sora: "Tatski is from a small village in the west…there's a river in that village which is said to have some time of time dilution properties!"

Hana: "That's c-crazy! But…it does make somewhat of sense…"

Sora: "We have to investigate this! First we'll head to the precinct and question them there. Once we get enough evidence we can find Tatski and free her!"

Beatrice: "Sounds like a plan then!"

Hana: "Lets g-go!"

The three girls walk out of the school building toward the cities police department

[???, 11:38 am]

Tatski sits in a white padded room wearing a blindfold and a straight jacket. The rooms door flys open. Fumi and 2 scientists walk in

Tatski: "Where am I?! Why am I blinded and strapped up like a crazy person?!"

Fumi: "You're here for questioning and researching. So tell me, Tatski. How did you kill that man…"

[Yesterday]

The man lunges at Tatski with a deranged smile. Tatski puts her hands up to shield herself. In her time of desperation a powerful force brews in her stomach and a tiny blast of power burst from her palms.

The man gets hit head on and he gets blasted away landing against a wall. Tatski looks up in shock as her hands smoke from the blast

Tatski: "What the hell was that?!" Tatski stands up and runs down the remaining parts of the alley. The man quickly catches up behind her and grabs her arm

???: "Where do you think you're going?! I don't know what the hell that blast was but it only wants to make me want to kill you more!"

Tatski screams in fear. Her scream launches out a large shock wave of energy that cuts the man's chest and stomach sending him hurdling into a brick wall. The shock wave also knocks Tatski unconscious due to the force

[Present]

The scientists takes notes on the story and Fumi stares at her with a grin

Fumi: "As I thought. You're from a small village in the mountains correct…there's said to be a river with time warping properties…you must know about the story of The Witch of Japan. Correct…"

Tatski: "I've heared of it…what does that have to do with me?!"

Fumi: "Its just a hypothesis right now…but we have evidence of you being the daughter of said witch."

Tatski: "That's impossible! My mother is Shu Warri. And that story isn't believable one bit!!!"

Fumi reaches into an envelope and starts reading off a chart

Fumi: "Tatski Warri. Date of birth unknown…Parentel status…unknown. This is the complete document your mother turned into the government when she adopted you."

Tatski: "What are you talking about?! I'm not adopted! My mother gave birth to me! She would never lie to me-"

Fumi: "Then how come you have white hair…or green eyes…or almost ghostly pale skin…Shu Warri isn't your birth mother. You're adopted. So that furthers my suspicions. You were born around 1890-1899 and you're over 100 years old!"

Tatskis breath catches in the back of her throat and she starts breathing in heavily

Tatski: "That's not true…that's not true! I won't believe it!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!"

The scientists finish their notes and nod to Fumi

Fumi: "Seems like they got everything they needed. We will talk again in due time."

They walk out the room leaving Tatski restrained and blinded in the room by herself yet again

[Police Department]

Desk clerk: "I'm sorry ladies but we don't have anyone under Warri in our custody. And shouldn't you be in school right now?"

Beatrice: "we were told she was taken by a group of officers! And a woman named Fumi!"

Sora: "Our friend has been missing for a few days, and we won't be lied too!"

Hana stands behind them nervously twirling her fingers

Desk Clerk: "Look we don't have your damn friend! Now leave before we place you all under custody!"

The girls groan before storming out the police station

Sora: "Well there goes our lead!"

Beatrice: "Didn't you say you researched the organization that kidnapped her? Maybe there's something in your journal that can help us!"

Sora: "Good thinking! But I left it in my locker…"

Hana: "Then w-we should hurry back and find it!"

The girls take off back towards the school building
