Chapter 10

??? P.O.V.:
In the depths of unconsciousness a little voice thought to itself.

"Why was I in the light?"
"How long has it been since I took the light?"
"Who was she? Why was she in my house?"
"Why does her touch spread a warm feeling inside me?"
"I need to find out what's going on and what purpose does that lady has, and why do I feel the need to protect her."

The person having those thoughts was trying to figure out what was happening. However, he was also scared to take control of the light, because of which he stopped those questions from filling his head and went back to the deep pool of unconsciousness.

Jacob's p.o.v.:

A loud chirping of birds woke Jacob up from his slumber. He shot up from his bed, wore his slippers and went to the washroom. After relieving himself he quickly opened the shower and let the warm water make it's way on his naked body. He thoroughly scrubbed himself until the flesh became red and raw. The stinging feeling he got after that gave him satisfaction, the germs are gone. He brushed his teeth after that and stared at the mirror. A reflection of himself looked back.

For a normal person that reflection was of the man Jung Hoseok.  But for Jacob it was a lady who was looking back at him with a frown on her face.

"How many times do I have to tell you Jacob to wear clothes while talking to me." Jung Hosook huffed in annoyance while staring back at Jacob.

"That's not important right now." He replied coldly.

"What happened?" She asked with a long sigh.
"Don't act like you don't know. Tell me when will 'he' come, the sacrifice and everything is ready. How long am I supposed to deliver food to that girl." Jacob replied angrily.

"I don't know Jacob I'm trying to get him as fast as possible but every time I reach him some sort of disturbance occurs." She said with a hint of frustration in her voice.

"Do you think that we are doing the right thing?" Jacob asked with uncertainty.

"Yes Jacob we are doing the right thing. 'He' is doing the right thing. Don't you see people like her have never suffered in there lives they have everything. They have freedom, money a happy and peaceful life. But us, people like us, we are the ones who suffer, no one knows about us they think that we are mad whenever they come across us. They lock people like us in asylums and treat us like animals, they take away our freedom." She ended with sadness. Her eyes showed the amount of pain she has suffered.

Jacob looked down not wanting to meet Hosook's painful gaze. He knew if he looked into her eyes, he would only see the terrifying past.

"But shouldn't we wait for Dr. Jin, he said that he is trying his best. He said that people are believing in our abilities." He finally said after a while.

"Dr. Kim Seokjin is nothing but a pretty face. He can't do anything, he can't save us. His own father didn't believed him." Hosook replied with hatred in her voice. She hated Dr. Jin. Though Jacob believes that maybe the doctor could help them, afterall he was the one who found Jung Hoseok and started the treatment.

Jacob didn't wanted to do this, whenever he looked at (Y/n) he felt pity. He didn't wanted to sacrifice her. But according to Hosook she was the most perfect candidate to get 'him' in light. So that 'he' could save not only Jung Hoseok but everyone else, people who are living with the same disorder as him.

"We have do to something about that boy Hobi. He steals the light and could get manipulated easily, like last time." Hosook spoke. Jacob was pulled out from his thoughts, he looked at her reflection for some time then replied.

"What do you want to do with him now that boy is on our side."
"Maybe he is. But still we can't forget that he's only 12 years old. What if he let's her go, like he was planning to do the last time." She said with frustration.

"I don't think he will. I talked to him and he promised that he won't believe in anything that the girl says." He replied.
"Fine then. If anything happens it would be your fault." She said and left.

Now Jacob was staring at his shirtless form on the mirror. He grabbed his clothes and went to his room to get ready for the day ahead. He had to feed (Y/n) before J takes the light. He huffed a sigh and quickly wore his clothes, then neatly combed his hair and looked at his clean and tidy self in the mirror. He slipped in his shoes and left to prepare breakfast for you.

You were still sleeping when he opened the door to your room to deliver breakfast. Jacob was getting suspicious are you trying to pull off a stunt to escape from there, he thought to himself. He placed the tray of food on the table that was kept near the door and went closer to check his theory. However, to his relief you were actually sleeping and not faking it. To Jacob your face looked really calm there were no worries displayed, guilt and pity started building in his chest for what he was planning to do with you. For Jacob you were just an innocent person who doesn't even know what's going on. But that feeling of guilt and pity quickly got erased when Hosook's words came back to his mind.  Hosook is right I shouldn't get attached to her, after all what we are doing is for a greater cause. He thought to himself.

He went back to the food tray and picked up the flowers that he brought daily to replace from the old ones. He placed the white lilies in one vase and the purple hyssop in the other, on your bedside table. Then he went to the washroom to replace the flowers with the fresh ones there too.

After taking one last look at your sleeping form he went towards the door and stepped out, locking the door from outside.
