Excerpt: "It got bored, I think. Or it saw Sue and ran away."
Watanuki rounds the corner, lungs on fire, and he clutches the wall and breathes raggedly. He can't run anymore without a rest, and if that means that the monster is going to catch up, then it is, and there's nothing he can do about it.
His vision wavers and he blinks. Someone speaks in his ear.
"It's not following you anymore," the person says, or he thinks that's what they're saying: his English isn't very good. Their voice is solemn or perhaps deadpan. Despite his exhaustion, Watanuki jumps straight up two feet, clawing at bricks, looking rather like a startled cat. He falls back down, landing hard on his butt.
"Ack!" he says intelligently.
"It got bored, I think. Or it saw Sue and ran away," the person continues. She leans down a little to look at him. Watanuki tries to make his eyes focus, wondering what a Sue is. The speaker is a girl perhaps his age, blonde and dressed in a red cheerleading uniform.
"You remind me of my cat," she says, grinning, and Watanuki scoots away a little, just in case she isn't entirely real, and her smile is a prelude to eating him. She looks like a normal girl, but would a normal girl have seen--
She saw it? She saw the thing that was chasing him?
"Who are you?" he asks in Japanese, feeling his heart thump. She cocks her head to one side, confused and bird-like.
"I don't speak foreign," she says sadly. "Will you be all right?"
He's not really sure what just happened, but if the monster is gone and he has ten minutes to catch his breath, he can be home. He nods, bemused.
"BRITTANY!" someone yells. She cranes her neck around, and then she turns back and pats him on the head. Before he can muster the energy to be offended, she skips around the corner, letting her skirt flip up. His mouth goes dry. He scrambled around the corner on his hands and knees, not caring how strange his scuttle looks or about the gravel he is smashing into his palms. He's had much worse. He was expecting much worse until he ran into the girl.
She is rejoining a group of other girls in matching uniforms, presided over by a tall woman in a tracksuit who gives him the shivers. When she glances in his direction, he backs quickly back around the corner, away from her pointed gaze, and he shakes his head.
Monsters should be scared of that.
