DOLL [vmin]

16: curse

Taehyung stood in the front yard the next day, it was late on the day past dinner. He was going to watch Jimin dance just now hearing the soft melodies echo through the mansion. but he had to try something first now the doll was occupied with something. ever since Jimin and Sunhee had returned from the city Taehyung had been wondering about something...if Jimin could leave the mansion's grounds...does that mean taehyung can leave now too? He walked forward and stood in front of the opened gates of his mansion. his eyes staring at the path that led to civilization. to humans, to the city. to a place he hasn't been in so many years. To see actual people besides Sunhee.

Taehyung knew he couldn't leave the mansion, but seeing Jimin being able to leave so easily he wanted to try it again. What if he can leave? that will make him feel much better, his mental state was losing it from being so isolated for so long. which is the reason he began making more and more dolls to fill up the lack of people around him, to fill the loneliness he felt. sadly those never filled his empty body, they just stared at him lifelessly. The dark spirits use them to haunt him day and night. Taehyung chuckled and shook his head, he took a deep breath lifting his foot over the line that separated the outside and his own property. but as soon as he tried to step outside of the gate into the normal world he was blown back by an invisible force. the gate slamming shut with a bang and falling in their lock. Taehyung groaned when he hit the floor but didn't have time to process and even get up when his ankle was grabbed by something and he was being pulled back inside the house, the front doors shutting as well with the bang echoing through the whole mansion. He laid there in the middle of the hallway, his heart cacing, he could feel it, even if it wasn't inside his own body anymore. he felt it hurt, like someone was stabbing it. Taehyung curled up, unable to make a sound come out of his lips. It was like his vocals were cut off leaving only wordless air escape his lips. his body twitched and he got on his knees shaking.

"Don't think you can just leave..."

"YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE US!"

"WE NEED A SOUL.....YOUR SOUL!" The voices spoke, all the doll's their heads were turned to him and they were violently shaking on their spot. the eyes rolling back and forth with each giggle they made.

"You will pay! you will suffer! you will DIE!!"

and then everything turned silent. Taehyung gasped for air placing a hand on his chest feeling something hot. He heard the clicking steps behind him but he didn't look, his eyes staring at the red patch on his button up. without thinking he ripped it open and looked at his chest, right where he heart once was, the scar had somehow ripped open and blood was spilling from the deep cut. it felt like he experienced the operation all over again. but this time he felt numb to the actual pain, because his heart wasn't there. It was just normal pain from the cut.

"Tae-oh my! are you okay?? what happened?" It was Jimin who kneeled in front of him concerned. his cold jointed hands reached for taehyung's chest but he pulled them back thinking he shouldn't just touch the wound. "what happened?"

"nothing for you to worry about. Can you get me my stitching kit? it's in the storage, Sunhee knows where it is if you can't find it. I will go to my room and clean myself" taehyung said standing up. his right hand covering the cut that kept bleeding. His blood was red, but darker. Clots of something black were mixed in there spreading the strange dark color through the blood.

it was concerning taehyung now seriously. but he cant let anyone know.

Taehyung knew what was happening, he just refused to acknowledge it fully.

Lucky for him Jimin entered the room quickly rushing to the man with concerned feelings which his face couldn't show sadly for him. But Taehyung felt the doll's emotions. Taehyung wasn't really normal himself. He was connected to the house and everything that belonged to it, including Jimin.

"w-what can i do?"

"Prepare the string for me, my hand is shaky" Taehyung said, seeing his hands were shaking too much to tie it himself. Jimin nodded and followed the other's instructions to prepare the needle. The raven then stitched himself up, Jimin staring at him doing the job.

"Taehyung. what happened...please tell me...i'm worried" Jimin said.

"There is nothing for you to worry about, it's just something from the past. now i will go change my clothes, you go to the ballroom, i will come watch you now" taehyung said knowing the boy was dancing just now, he had heard the music coming from the opened ballroom doors.

"..okay" Jimin said but clearly didn't like the answer he got. but either way he stood up moving his doll body out of the room back down, as always trying to look at the ground and not the dolls that were eyeing him devilishly.
