27

After hanging up on Jimin, Jin laughs as he grabs another cookie before making his way to the couch and plopping down.

He's thankful Jimin isn't here to nag about eating on the couch.

He wonders what's gotten into him to make him think he heard Lucy.

Weird.

He happily finishes his cookie and wipes the crumbs off of his shirt.

He sighs deeply, letting his head rest on the back of the couch. It's strange being home alone. Everyone else is at work while he decided to take a day off to relax and do some spring cleaning since living with six other demon men is a disgusting experience.

"Boo!" a female voice rings out from somewhere in front of him.

Jin screams and jumps in the air before focusing his gaze on the girl in front of him.

She's so caked with dried and fresh blood that he hardly recognizes her.

No... that can't be her.

Her eyes are red, not black and not emerald green.

But it's her face.

Her smile.

Lucy.

"You... you're supposed to be dead," Jin says, wide-eyed as he slowly stands from the couch.

"I brought you a gift for the party!" she says, smiling brightly through all of the blood on her face.

He glances down and sees that she is holding a bloody wooden box.

She sets it down on the coffee table before beginning to twirl in circles and muttering "fun, fun, fun" repeatedly.

He gulps and glances down at the box on the table. He hesitantly reaches forward and opens the box before falling backwards onto the couch in horror.

"Lucy..." he whispers as he stares at the box filled with human hearts.

"Box of candy!" she exclaims, pointing at the box on the table. "Candy for the hungry boy."

"Where... where d-did these come from?" he asks, not entirely sure he wants to know the answer.

"Candy shop!" she exclaims, spinning in circles again.

He focuses as much as he can and counts the hearts, trying not to touch any.

Four.

"Why... what..." he whispers in horror.

Jin's a demon, sure. But he cares about humans in the best way he could care about them. They're interesting to him.

"Don't talk with your mouth full!" she scolds.

"My mouth isn't-"

She suddenly takes one of the hearts and shoves it towards his mouth.

He splutters and tries to push her away, desperately trying to keep his mouth clamped shut.

"Yummy," she smiles brightly as she straddles his lap and continues to hold the heart to his mouth, blood smearing on his face and dripping down his chin and onto his shirt.

He reaches his hands up and pushes her with all of his strength but she doesn't move an inch.

He continues to splutter and spit, desperate to get the copper taste out of his mouth.

She finally pulls the heart away from him and lets it fall to the floor.

"The clock struck three," she sings before leaning down and licking all of the blood from his mouth and then gently taking his hands into hers.

"One, two..." she sings before violently twisting both of Jin's wrists, snapping multiple bones in his hands.

He screams out in pain but Lucy just laughs loudly.

"Lucy's coming for you," she continues to sing as she twists his hands again, causing an inhuman sound to escape his throat.

"If you call any of the others to tattle, I'll cut your hands off and use them as cup holders," she whispers before standing up.

Jin whimpers in pain, cradling his hands to his chest as he watches her pick up a second heart from the box.

"Snack for the road," she grins before disappearing.

"Shit..." he groans as he gently moves his hands to his lap, trying clumsily to set the bones so they will heal properly.

The process is slow and excruciating, but somehow, Jin gets the bones back in a relative sense of normal and lays his head against the back of the couch again, sweating profusely.

He tries to ignore the blinding pain in his hands as they rest uncomfortably on his thighs.

For the first time in Jin's existence, the food in his stomach wants to come back up.

Because there is blood in his stomach.

He shudders as he focuses on not throwing up. He doesn't need to add to this mess around him. He can't clean this up until his hands heal.

How is Lucy alive? And why has she turned into a crazy person?

To be fair, she was crazy before. But this is another level.

She won't kill them for betraying her... will she?
