"Wow Mei, I can't believe that it has been this long since we met for the first time!"

"And you're already married, lucky you!"

"It's been the time, do you want to take the eyepatch off?"

"I don't know, I am scared it's going to end up like the last eye I had."

"But this isn't a dolls eye. It's just a regular glass eye, and in the same color as before so no more dolls eye sees all"

"Okay, I'll take it off...How does it look?"

"It looks beautiful."

"Not to change the subject, but I'm happy you are moving back to Yomiyama."

"Yeah, sure. I do have another question for you."

"What is it?"

"Well you are my best friend, right?"

"Yes"

"My wife and I are trying to have a baby, but we need a surrogate. I was wondering if you would be our surrogate."

"I need some time to think about it, I did just get out if surgery"

"Of course"

The diner was nicer than I remembered. The last time I was here I was with Ms. Mizuno; I don't remember what we were talking about, something about my ninth grade class, it was only weeks later that she died. I think they remodeled the building. "Over here." Mei directed me to the two empty seats at the bar. "What do you want Mei?"

"Hotdog" Mei said, concentrated on the menu in front of her.

"Okay"

"Why about you?"

"My wife is cooking lunch back at my house"

"Oh of course."

"How does your new eye feel?"

"Mostly the same, except I cannot see anything."

"That's good" I giggled.

"I'm going to go order"

I haven't been to Yomiyama in such a long time I can't remember why I wanted to leave in the first place. I doubt it had to do with all of the deaths that took place on my class that year, they were almost all accidents anyway. There were a few murders, but the murderer killed herself. Honestly that whole year was just a blur, I can't really remember any of it. RING!! My wife was calling me.

"Hello?"

"Hey, lunch over here is almost ready. Can you start to head over soon?"

"Yeah of course, just let me talk to Mei. I'll be over there in about twenty minutes."

"Okay, I love you"

"I love you too"

I hung up the phone and waited for Mei to come back with her food. "Hey Mei, I actually have to go now"

"Oh really, why?"

"My wife wants me to come home and eat lunch with her"

"Oh ok"

My house wasn't far from where I was. I checked my pocket for my keys, they weren't there. "Hmm..I probably left them on the counter." I thought to myself. I saw my house and started walking up the long, stone staircase. My wife loved this house. Just as I got to the top I heard the peaceful sound of wind chimes and I looked down at the town, our house is very close to the mountain, we could almost see the whole town. I saw that my wife had fixed the doorbell, before it was cracked and dangerous. I rang the new, cold doorbell. I waited there for a few minutes than looked at my watch. "This isn't lie her at all, she always likes to be on time" I thought, I tried to remember where I kept the spare key. "Right" I took the wind chime down and opened the top, the shiny key was there. I unlocked the door and walked in the room, it felt...different, almost like I felt when I first met Mei. "Is anyone here?" I heard a crying baby in the room we were going to use as the nursery. I crept closer to the open door, wondering what could be making that noise. There stood my friends from ninth grade, they all looked horrible. Impaled by an umbrella...heart attack? A flash of memory came to me and I saw her, Misaki Mei, both of her eyes were bright green. She was holding a baby, "I am a doll, your baby's doll" Then she slit the baby's throat. They all disappeared to show my wife, dead, knitting needles inside of her eyes.
