Mom took out a dagger and a rope. What is she planning to do? Is she going to sacrifice us to the Devil? She spoke a prayer in a language that I didn't understand. Perhaps it didn't belong to any language.

A dark figure emerged from the ground. Before I knew it, both of our bodies were covered with fresh long deep cuts. It was so painful! It feels like my flesh is about to come out of my skin.

"Can you feel the powerful dagger's marvelous work yet?" Mom chuckled.
Her body was also bloody. "We'll join your father soon!" she added.

I wriggled and wriggled but failed to break free. My body was very weak. I guess... I guess this is it for me. Goodbye, John. I love you so much! Goodbye, Alex and Xav. Mommy loves you very much.

A tear escaped my eye as my mother untied me. I fell down on the floor. She sloppily hanged the rope and put my neck on the noose. She also did the same for herself. We were both standing on chairs. The same dark figure rose up from the ground and pulled the chairs away. We both choked and a laughter echoed in the room.

I am nothing more. It's so lonely here. I can't see anything.... I can't see anything except a void. So dark and cold! Is this my punishment? Wait, I can see... a blinding light.

"Korey?" a famillar voice spoke.

"Are you-?"

"Please wake up. Please... I need you... so much."

John's POV

*yawns* Hmmm... where's Korey? It's been 4 hours when she got out to fetch Ben. It usually takes 30 minutes to get to our hours from the hospital or vice versa. I'm starting to get anxious.

Jen and Rica fell asleep. I hope they're both fine too.

"Hurry! She's losing a lot of blood and oxygen!" I saw a glimpse of the nurses rushing Korey to the Operating Room with a stretcher.

"Crap!" I exited the room and ran to Korey.
"What happened?!" I asked one of the nurses panic in my tone.

"Her own mother tried to kill the both of them! She's losing a lot of blood. And don't worry about her mother, she's being taken care of."

After hours of operating Korey, a doctor spoke to me.

"Mr. Cooper, your wife is in a comatic state. Her head hit the ground pretty badly. Your only hope is for her to wake up."

"..."

"Excuse me."

I entered Korey's room She's sleeping peacefully like an angel. I need to fix all the problems before she wakes up. And I'll tell her everything was just a bad dream. I caressed her cheek and held her hands. I kissed those soft fingers. I whimpered. Oh, I really do miss her soft laughter! When will she open those blue angelic crystal eyes?

"Korey? Please wake up. Please... I need you... so much."

But unfortunately, she didn't wake up. I hope that she doesn't die! No! What are you thinking, John?! She's not going to die! Your wife is a strong woman.

Jen came in and hugged Korey's unconscious body. "Korey..." she whimpered. "This is all because of Rica!"

"Don't blame her, Jen. It's nobody's fault."

"Then maybe Korey's mother."

"Uh... right."

"I'll go fetch Ben. Stay with her." said Jen standing up

"No. I don't want anybody to get harm again. We'll get this fix when we leave the hospital with Rica. We still don't know when will Korey wake up."

"Well I hope she wakes up soon."

"Me too, Jen. Me too."

Korey's POV

"Please wake up. Please... I need you... so much."

"John! I'm here!"

The voice faded. I want to wake up from this hell! The darkness is back again. It's terrifying! It's suffocating!

I trembled helplessly, hoping to see anything.

"Do not fear, my child."

That voice. Am I talking to-

"My Lord?"

"Have no fear for I am here."

"Please have mercy on me."

"I'll send you to the land of the living soon. There is something needed to be resolve. But after that comes a new problem."

"What is it, Father?"

"If he lost his eyes, the problem shall occur. If he saw knowledge, the problem shall fades. If it had occured, I'll make an exception for them and welcome them. For it is true love that binds them. Be strong, my child."

"Wait. Is the man- John?"

No response. Did he leave?

"Father?"

Hmmm... Jesus always talks in hidden meanings and parables. What does He mean this time? But the Lord has good plans so I trust him. I wonder how long I'll be here. What if I woke up and found out that Rica stole John from me?
Or maybe Jen stole him?
Or what if I am already old and I wasn't able to watch my children to grow up?

What if...
What if...
What if...

I uttered a loud cry. I can't feel, smell, see, taste, nor hear anything. All my senses are dull. All I can feel is numbness.

(A/N: What could happen to Korey? C'mon! We all want to comfort and hug her! Same cycle, panheads. I'll take a break again for 2-3 days again. Or maybe till 4 or 5 but 5 is the longest. Till next time.
