CHAPTER TWENTY ONE.

The room was dark, the bright light of the moon illuminated outside the doors. Jeongguk's slim figure stood there inside the mansion that was swallowed by the darkness, his doe eyes caught movement across the window-pane, a hooded shadow stood itself in the glass, hand dragged across the window, smearing it with blood.

Despite the shivering chills that Jeongguk felt on his spine, his whole body froze. It was like it was paralyzed on its own. He stared at the hooded shadow in front of him like a deer caught in the headlights.

Jeongguk had at first missed the seeming emptiness and darkness of the living room he was in right now, doe eyes still focusing on the shadow that still stood there outside the glass, staring at him like a hawk.

He knew, this was just a dream and nothing else. None of these are true and just a pigment of his imagination that his mind created yet he felt trapped in it. The moonlight touched his skin through the glass, making his face look more ethereal than ever in front of the shadow that was piercing its dark eyes into him.

His now paralyzed body started to tremble and he didn't know why. Jeongguk then saw his reflection on the glass, seeing his figure wearing a revealing clothing, white satin that fully showed his collarbones and stopped at his mid thigh.

The hooded shadow whose face remained hidden in the dark started to show its smirk to the younger male and Jeongguk's body started to tremble in fear even more.

Jeongguk choked in tears but not for long as his eyes stared back wide in fear, noticing the tears that were streaming down his chubby cheeks earlier were now replaced by blood, trickling down through his neck.

His throat tried to let out a scream but nothing came out. The seemingly dark room that he was in was empty, no chairs, no doors, just his figure and a single window in front of him with a hooded shadow that was watching him tremble in fear on the outside.

The hooded shadow's head tilted, showing a sinister smile at him which Jeongguk continued to cry blood from the sheer terror. There was nothing he could but bore his doe eyes into the seemingly dark and murderous eyes of the other.

"Don't you recognize me?" Said the shadow in front of him, face still remained hidden in the darkness but the sinister smile held up into the air, showing it to the crying doe eyed male.

This isn't real. This isn't real. Jeongguk's thoughts echoed in his mind and he tried to shut his eyes out, feeling the blood that pool out from it. He was hoping that none of this is real, that it's just a nightmare

A fear strike in his chest and a blood curdling scream had finally escaped from his throat when he felt himself falling into an abyss of darkness. The floor crumbled and replaced by a dark hole, letting his body fall into an endless pit of blackness.

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, heart beating loudly in his chest. His whole body felt the heavy air brushing through his skin. Non-stop screaming escaped from his mouth. The doe eyed male is very frightened, mind full of negative thoughts and fear swarming throughout his body.

His frail body had finally hit the ground, creating a loud thud and he groaned loudly in pain. His ears heard a snap and he immediately darted his eyes on his right leg.

Noticing that there's a lot of blood gushing out from the wound, he can see a bone stuck out of his leg and skin sliced in half.

Jeongguk let out another blood curdling scream in terror. He can't feel any pain enter his body as he gazes his eyes to the wound. How- How is he not feeling any sort of pain right now?
