wants.

The four were all helping carry Minho and walking down the hall which seemed a little longer than usual due to the slight panic for Minho's well-being. They had reached the door of Chan's room and knocked on the door very shortly before just walking in. "Come in." He said. 

All of them were tired from having to hold up Minho for that amount of time. They laid Minho down on Chan's bed, Minho still in a terrifying trance and having no idea of what was going on around him.

Jeongin and Changbin were also in the room with Chan working on music for the past hour and a half, being just as shocked when they saw the state Minho was in. "Oh my god, what even happened to him? He looks like he's seen a ghost or something.." Chan had asked them that all the while wondering what's wrong with Minho, already thinking of ideas to cure him whatever the problem could be. "Well I was just drawing in my room, and he came in and saw the drawing and started acting like this. I have no idea why-"

Right before Hyunjin had finished the last of his sentence, Minho muttered something that created an even more of a dark and unsettling aura in the room. 

"Kill them all, you can do it."

"D-did he just say- what I think he said..?" Changbin questioned. Minho was twitching every couple seconds as if he were fighting an incredible urge to do something that he'd probably very much regret. 

All of a sudden, his pupils went back to normal, his skin close to it's natural color, and he wasn't in his trance anymore. "What happened to you? Do you know what caused it?" Chan acted somewhat more worried than the others, feeling like he was responsible for whatever happened and happens to Minho. "I can't exactly remember what happened. Everything's kinda hazy right now." Minho didn't believe himself when he said he didn't remember, but he felt as if it wasn't him who said it.   

"Maybe he needs a nap or something to relax?" Jisung implied, starting to calm down knowing things were alright now. "Sleep. Yes I think sleep would be..perfect." Minho had said in a satisfied tone very different from his expression being a look of fear and possibly begging for help. "I won't need help going to my room, so you all can go back to doing whatever."

As Minho was walking out of Chan's room, Seungmin felt someone whisper in his ear.

"One down, seven to go.."

Seungmin had looked all around him, wondering if one of his friends said that to him as a prank or joke of some sort, but nobody looked near enough to him to had whispered close in his ears. "Did any of you hear that?" He asked hoping someone else had heard it and he wasn't insane. "Heard what-? I didn't hear anything. None of us did." Jeongin replied.

Minho had gone back in his room peacefully. But once he closed the door behind him, all hell broke loose in his mind. 

"Go to sleep Minho. You know you want to. Just lay down and close your eyes and drift off to sleep. I promise you'll never want to wake up." The voice in his head urged him to move towards the bed. "No I can't. I know what you'll do to me. You can't make me fall for it." Even though Minho was standing perfectly still at the moment, he was using all the force in his body to resist being forced to sleep and be taken. 

"It's your last chance..." "You sure as hell aren't taking me alive. Play all your tricks, you can't get me." As soon as Minho finished that sentence, he collapsed to the ground. He was no longer in control.

Everyone else was still with Chan in his room, still not believing what they witnessed. What they saw definitely wasn't normal. Each one of them except for Seungmin and Hyunjin were in denial that there could be something affecting Minho that's worse than they think. Felix decided to break the silence. "Hyunjin, you said Minho had looked at a drawing of yours right before he started acting weird, can we see that picture?" 

"Sure I guess so bu-" Hyunjin was interrupted once again but this time by Changbin. "Hold on, are we just gonna ignore the fact that he said to 'kill them all'? Maybe referring to us? Is anyone gonna question that?" Hyunjin was a little annoyed that he didn't get to finish what he was saying again, but quickly got over it.

"I think we should take this one step at a time, first by looking at the picture, then other things." Jeongin had said that as to change the subject slightly, he wanted to cover up the truth a bit by ignoring what Minho had said earlier and Changbin bringing it up again. " I agree with Jeongin. Let's not try to take this all in at once and get confused or anything else." Chan said in a calming tone.

While they were talking, Hyunjin had already gone back to his room and brought back the picture for everyone to see. He didn't necessarily want anyone else to see it because he was worried the same thing that happened to Minho would happen to whoever else saw it, so he kept slightly hidden behind his back. Even though it wasn't confirmed that the drawing was the thing that caused it, he knew what the being in the drawing actually could do to a person. 

But Hyunjin still showed everyone the picture. As he revealed it to them, they all circled around to see it but Jisung didn't want to. He had some sort of feeling that he shouldn't but his curiosity was too much to not look. He got up a little from where he was sitting with Felix, and slowly rose up to see just a bit of the drawing. The first thing he saw were the eyes of the Figure.

"My head hurts suddenly.."
