The Game of Twice

I Forgive You

"Okay so a lot has already happened." Jeongyeon said as they walked to the first room to look for Dahyun, "how long have we been here?"
"We've been in here for half a day. Or twelve hours." Momo answered checking her watch.
"Why do you think she ran away?" Tzuyu asked changing the mood.
Jeongyeon and Momo became quiet.
"I hope she knows I'm not hurt anymore because I know it wasn't her." Tzuyu replied to her own statement.
"What did-" Momo started but Jeongyeon nagged her in the shoulder.
"What did what?" Tzuyu asked.
"It doesn't matter Tzuyu she was just...."Jeongyeon started but was interrupted.
"Your gonna ask me what she said." Tzuyu sighed looking down sad.
"You don't have to." Jeongyeon comforted, "you've already been through too much today."
Tzuyu sighed, "she called me a loner. She said my only friends were the twice members."
"Oh." Jeongyeon and Momo both said to themselves sadly.
"Im sorry." Momo sympathized, "but no other friends? You have other friends! Like ummm..." Momo paused. She realized that she was making things worse.
Unexpectedly Tzuyu smiled, "it's ok. What she said was the painful truth. Actually I wasn't too offended by what she said. I've heard those words a lot. My father. My old friends. I was too afraid to make friends again after well I told you what happened. I was only hurt because those words came from Dahyun. For a second a thought...." She paused struggling to talk.
"Take your time." Jeongyeon assured patting Tzuyu's shoulder.
"I thought she was turning into someone like my past friends." Said Tzuyu.
"Dahyun would never do that." Momo said confidently, "she loves you just like everyone else here does!"
Tzuyu laughed, "I know that now Momo. And thank you."
Momo and Jeongyeon smiled at Tzuyu.
"Now come on!" Tzuyu encouraged, "let's go find Dahyun!"

Twenty minutes later:

"Guys!" Momo screamed in fear. The trio looked in all kinds of different rooms and had just moved on from the dining room. They were heading to the next room when Momo's scream stopped them.
"What?!" Jeongyeon and Tzuyu both screamed in unison.
"Blood!" Momo cried trying to hold her tears of fright inside.
Jeongyeon and Tzuyu ran to her finding a bloody handprint scraped against the side of the wall just before the door.
"What?! Who?!" Jeongyeon couldn't get words out. They were all staring at the room. What could be in there? Did they even want to know?
"Guys." Tzuyu pointed at the print, "that hand is small. Those fingers are small. That handprint.....is.....Dahyun's"
"No! No! That can't be!" Momo stared hard at the print.
"As much as I wish it wasn't true." Jeongyeon quivered, "that is Dahyun's hand."
Momo shook her head in fear.
"We have to go in that room." Tzuyu lowered her eyebrows confident.
Jeongyeon replied calmly, "Tzuyu. We don't know what we're going to find in there. She could be poisoned. She could be lost. She could be...."
"Don't say it." Tzuyu stammered, "don't ever say it. I know she is going to be ok."
Jeongyeon sighed sadly and slowly followed to the door.
Momo was hesitant but insisted on trying the knob. But of course it was locked.
"It's locked." Momo exclaimed yanking on it several times in frustration.
Suddenly Jeongyeon pulled Momo's hands off the knob and knocked hard the door, "Dahyun!" She called.
No answer.
"Dahyun are in there?!" Momo cried.
Again there was no answer.
"Let me try." Tzuyu said and stepped to the door. She knocked again, "Dahyun! It's me Tzuyu. I'm here to see you."
She sounded so confident and so strong. Tzuyu is so quiet and shy also being the youngest of them all. But when it comes to now she sounds like a confident and mature woman.
There was no answer once again. Tzuyu sighed.
But suddenly, "T-T-Tyuyu." A small cracky voice came from inside the door.
"Dahyun!" Tzuyu shouted back, "please open the door. Let me talk to you. I want to know if your ok!"
"Y-you want to K-know that I-I'm ok?" Dahyun stuttered. She sounded extremely weak.
"Yes! Momo, Jeongyeon and I are here for you." Tzuyu assured scared Dahyun.
"No!" Dahyun suddenly shrieked, "I mean. J-just you. Just you Tzuyu."
Tzuyu turned to look at Jeongyeon and Momo. They were all very shocked and scared. What's wrong with Dahyun?
"Go." Jeongyeon commanded, "maybe you can help her come out."
"Are you sure?" Tzuyu asked hesitantly. She was scared to go alone. But she knew she had to be strong. For Dahyun.
"Go." Momo smiled, "we'll be here if you need us."
Tzuyu smiled at them and turned back to door full of confidence, "ok Dahyun. It's just me."
She waited a moment but suddenly the door creaked open to a crack.
Tzuyu was shaking with fear but went on to open the door. And she quickly closed it behind her as she went inside. When she looked inside however, she saw a horrid sight.
Poor little Dahyun was sitting curled up in the corner of the small empty room. Her suit was ripped up in shreds and her hands and face were covered in blood. But worst of all, she looked horrid. Her face was usually pale but this time it was deadly pale. Almost a green. And her body was skinny as a nail. She was shaking violently and she was trying to hold in tears that looks like she had been crying for a long time.
"Dahyun!" Tzuyu yelled in a whisper voice. She didn't want to worry Jeongyeon and Momo, "what happened to you! You look deathly!" She quickly ran to her side trying to wipe the blood off her hands. But the blood was dried up so it did no use.
"D-don't touch me!" Dahyun threw Tzuyu's hands off her.
Tzuyu was confused but knew that she probably had been poisoned. And badly.
"Dahyun. Tell me what happened." Tzuyu soothed in a calming voice.
"I-Im a monster." She squeaked put.
Tzuyu quickly realized what she was talking about. What Sana said. She was guilty. But this doesn't explained why she was poisoned. It explained why she ran away though.
Dahyun was sobbing hard as she looked at Tzuyu. That poor girl was so guilty for something she didn't do. She probably didn't understand what happened to her.
"Dahyunie...." Tzuyu was interrupted.
"T-Tzuyu......." She paused sitting up, uncurling her legs, "k-kill me. I-I'm a monster. I'm d-dangerous."
A tear came down Tzuyu's face but she quickly wiped it off. It was breaking her seeing Dahyun this lost. But she must be strong.
"No!" Tzuyu stepped forward, "Dahyun, listen to me.....the monster that you think you are...isn't you. What you said to me.....that wasn't you. The traitor turned you evil. You weren't controlling your actions."
"What?" Dahyun mumbled confused.
"But you beat it Dahyunie! You beat the evil right after you said those things." Tzuyu paused, "Dahyun. You've been poisoned. What poison was it? I need to help you."
"I-I don't understand." Dahyun mourned, "I-I hurt you Tzuyu. I hurt S-Sana. I hurt everyone. I-I deserve to die."
Tzuyu hated hearing those words, "No Dahyun! You don't deserve to die! You did nothing wrong. And even if you did...." Tzuyu got closer to Dahyun's face. She kneel at her side and looked into her eyes. She had to try to bring Dahyun back, "I forgive you. Your not a monster. Come back to me Dahyunie."
Dahyun didn't move but looked shocked at Tzuyu. Her eyes were full of pain.
"Wh-what did you say?" She muttered.
Tzuyu smiled and wrapped her arms around Dahyun. She leaned into her tense body and went up to her ear. She whispered, "I forgive you."
After she said those to Dahyun she heard gasp in fear and start breathing heavily. It worked! And she felt Dahyun hugging her back tighter.
Then Tzuyu stepped back smiling and looked at Dahyun. But her smile soon disappeared. Her state was still terrible. The only difference was that there wasn't fear in her eyes anymore.
"T-Tzuyu!" Dahyun said loudly as tears streamed out her eyes, "you saved me!" Then she slowly started standing up but her legs were too wobbly to stand.
"Dahyun." Tzuyu whimpered, "what happened. I thought....I thought once I got rid of the poison. You would be healed."
Dahyun looked down at her hands and her ripped suit, "I-It's ok. I'll get over it. I just need to s-stand." She tried again but fell into Tzuyu's arms.
"Dahyun stop!" Tzuyu commanded holding on to Tzuyu, "tell me what happened."
Dahyun sighed in sadness, "I-I saw a poison. It was a k-knife. It was strangely glowing and I knew it was p-poison. But instead of me going to it, it came t-towards me. It came into my h-hand and I did everything I could to stop it from taking over me. I cut my h-hands, my suit. Actually I don't really know what I did with all the ch-chaos. B-but it....took over me." She went on, "first I-I became really pale then I got skinny and started getting sick. Like th-throwing up. Then I became too weak to stand and c-came to this r-room. I-I don't really remember much but that's what h-happened."
She said this with as much energy as possible but her voice was crackling with every word.
"Are you ok?" Tzuyu asked still holding on to Dahyun.
"I'm fine." Dahyun said in a very cold voice. She said nothing more.
"This must've been the sick poison." Tzuyu though out loud, "we need to get you back to the base."
Dahyun was too tired to talk and just nodded. She was becoming weaker. Luckily Tzuyu had strength enough to carry Dahyun to Jeongyeon and Momo.
"Tzuyu! Dahyun!" They both beamed at the same time. But they both were in shock.
"What happened!" They both yelled.
"She got the sickness poison." Tzuyu said, "we need to get back."
"Is she still poisoned?" Jeongyeon asked.
"No. I got her out." Tzuyu said. Her expression was very sad.
"How?" Momo asked.
"I'll tell you later." Tzuyu concluded. Dahyun was barely keeping her eyes open. She needed rest.
"Let me carry her." Momo offered and took sick Dahyun in her arms. And they headed back to the base.

But little did they know what would waiting for them when they got back.
