Chae's POV 

Together we passed through the gates of hell and began our journey, as one would imagine it is not a pleasant place. A city of  eternal woe and pain. 

The sky was pitch black but not a single star could be seen . The air was thick with moans of grief and sorrow. 

It was exactly like how Bella had described it. 

I felt even more lightheaded than before. I couldn't stand straight anymore, I just wanted to sit, my legs wanted to give in but I couldn't. I kept walking while bumping into people from time to time, I couldn't even tell who they were. My vision was all fuzzy and blurry. I reached my hands out searching for support that I hoped to find.



Scarlet's POV

I had powered ahead through the crowd of people or souls, whatever they were, when I realised Chae and Jinyoung had fallen behind. Looking behind to see how far they were, Chae had taken on a pale look, as if she had been painted with white-wash; even her lips were barely there. Then with one step backwards she crumpled like a puppet suddenly released of their strings.

Panic hit me at that moment, I was rushing back to help Chae. Thankfully, she was caught by Jinyoung before she hit the ground and inevitably got a concussion.

As we were nearing Acheron, I told Jinyoung to pull down his and Chae's hoods to properly cover their clothes and faces and did the same myself.

The three of us tried to blend in with the condemned spirits and got on the ferry.

Suddenly, the souls were restless and wild waves were being generated in the previously calm river. The boat was swinging like a pendulum. A violent storm had just begun. Flashing fire from the ground terrified me to such a degree that I fell back on the ferry.

I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head as it hits the ledge of the vessel.

I woke up to a clap of thunder. I was super confused as to where I was, there was still a dull ache in the back of my head. I was horrified; lightning and thunder were the two of my worst fears which had come to haunt me here as well. I found myself across the Acheron river and on the brink of a deep abyss from which I hear the thunder of Hell's eternal cry. In front of me lies another portal, what lies beyond is unknown to humankind.
