"Fix her, whatever it takes, do it" a voice echoed from within the darkness. You couldn't move, you were paralysed almost, you could hear things, but couldn't see or move...It was just darkness. As you lay there - or so you assumed you were doing so - the darkness began to light up somehow, little sparks of light here and there appeared, dancing around. The flame of the spark changed from orange to pink, then purple, only to repeat. As the light jumped about, there was chanting, chanting that created a pit in your stomach that you couldn't get rid of. Something stirred inside you, but you didn't know what, but whatever it was...it felt like it was tearing you from the inside out. You tried to let out a scream, but it just didn't come out "Wha-...What are you doing?!" shouted a familiar voice, clearly angered "You're hurting her! I didn't ask you to do this!" Despite feeling as if your scream hadn't broken free, clearly some sort of imagery of your pain had done "Stop! I demand!" but the chanting continued, only for a voice to follow, an unfamiliar kind

"If I stop now, she will only get worse."

"I did not order this! I asked for you to make her better, not to make her one of-..."

"It is what must be done!" shouted the unfamiliar voice "Do you wish for her to live?" there was silence met with the question, a silence you could only guess was met with a nod of acknowledgement from the response the unfamiliar voice gave "Then let me do my job. I know what I am doing...You can apologise to her after she has awoken." The chanting resumed, only to become harsher than before. This time you felt your body begin to contort, as you continued to scream, but again all you can see is darkness. You heard the voices around you, yet you felt alone because you couldn't see a thing. You were terrified, you couldn't control whatever was happening to your body, your mind...to your soul. Everything was changing, you could feel it. "Expergisci" said the voice, and suddenly your eyes shot open, your back arching as you let out a blood curdling scream. Despite your eyes being open, you still saw nothing but darkness, but this time it was only for a second. The pain you felt was unrelenting. It only went on for a few seconds, but it felt like it went on for hours.

"Et De Profundis evigilare faciatis"

"Awaken from the depths-..." Jungkook grabbed the Witch Doctor by the collar, glaring at him, his eyes fully black "What damned soul have you placed inside her body, to be awakened from the depths!?"

"I-I put the soul that belonged to her mortal one, I swear...It's the soul that belongs to her...S-she's more powerful than you think!" the Witch Doctor exclaimed, clearly terrified by the visuals he was faced with from Jungkook right there and then. Jungkook's brow furrowed at the Witch Doctor's words, before he harshly let him go, the Witch Doctor stumbling back with a whimper before he stood up straight, patting himself down "I should warn you...The power within her is stronger than any other being in this dimensi-..." Both Jungkook's and the Witch Doctors' heads snapped towards your body as it began to writhe and crack as it seemed another entity was  taking you over. Jungkook rushed to your side, ready to grab your hand, but suddenly the Witch Doctor yelled out "Don't!" making Jungkook jump, looking at him

"What?"

"Don't touch her. It could disrupt the ritual..." Jungkook looked back at you, before slowly backing away from you, as much as it killed him not being able to touch you when you very clearly needed comfort, he didn't want to put you in even more danger by disrupting the ritual that was going on. The numerous candles littered around the room began to flicker violently, whilst your back arched yet again, but this time you didn't make a sound as your bones cracked and your body contorted in ways that shouldn't have been possible. Jungkook watched with eyes wide...Rituals like these weren't odd in his world, they were gruelling procedures, some had to be done, whilst others weren't necessary and then you have the few that were...forced upon people. The harsh and dark realities of Jungkook's underworld. He stood there, staring at you, wondering what sort of entity had been infused with your soul. You'd come out as you, he'd know that, but there'd be a part of you that is different...the part of the soul which wasn't yours anymore. Suddenly the Witch Doctors chants became louder, indicating the ritual was almost done "Non habes potestatem hoc corpore. Tu solus vivet in ea!" (You do not have power over this body, you merely live within it.) Jungkook couldn't help but jump a little as your body sat bolt up right all of a sudden, but for a moment it wasn't you. Your eyes, which were now open, lay as pools of blackness whilst your skin was deathly pale. You stared into nothingness, muttering words of another language that you definitely did not know
