feeling hazy and groggy, jisung fluttered his eyes as he felt his soul come alive.
his body was on the cold, dusty floor. the wind blowing from the distant blue classroom window making him shudder. he pressed his eyes close for a moment, processing the events from today as his stomach twisted weirdly and a cold dread took over him.
and the first thing he saw was his sister, minji, her hand casually on his head but her eyes on someone else. following her gaze he realised she was staring at jeno.
the boy sitting on one of the benches of the classroom listening to whatever mark was saying as he occasionally massaged his tense muscles littered with bruises.
yunha, renjun and haechan seated at the other corner opposite to jaemin as the four of them interrogated chenle, who looked like he was about to burst any moment.
feeling pain strike from his shoulder jisung sprung awake with a groan startling the female beside him as everybody eventually diverted their attention towards the boy.
"wh-"
his words cut off as the classroom door swung open, a troubled jaemin entering with his chest heaving and his figure sweating as he coughed a little, "I think I know where belle is"
____
"haechan, please shut up a little" jeno said hissing at the brunette behind him who kept chanting for god.
"you shut up, I'm trying to keep us save from any nasty spirits lurking around this shady ass place"
"that shit dosen't exist" jeno snarled back only to receive a eye roll from the other.
the group walked slowly, lead by jaemin. they had decided on leaving the classroom, fetching bella and leaving this place. they were advancing forward in the silent hallway, crouching and walking in a uniform line maintaining utmost silence as if any sound would awake who knows what lie here.
"okay," jaemin halted all of a sudden as mark crashed on yunha.
"from here, we've got to go through stairs so I'm asking yall fuckers to maintain silence" jaemin warned as haechan saluted in the distance.
jaemin held a nervous jisung's hand, nodding at him. the younger boy held minji's hand who held jeno's. jeno grabbed haechan's hand who held yunha's. yunha slipped her hands into mark's nervous fingers (which might or might not have made haechan roll his eyes) who tightly held renjun's arm and at last, renjun held chenle's.
the batch, slowly took their steps upwards on the stairway. their fear filled faces masked with assurance just to comfort each other, a slow valiant but agitated feeling seeping into their sky-rocketing heart beat as they walked further, the pearly navy moonlight leaking within the narrow spaces between their body.
the valorous energy within the stairway absolutely vanished when mark lee slipped his foot and landed on his ass with a loud thud.
his falling made yunha stumble along with renjun who fell directly on the canadian, cursing loudly.
the loud landing echoing through out the hushed walls of the school as the group paused physically. a few faces covered in disbelief while the others stared at the commotion in horror.
"NAYEON!" the sharp shrill scream made the entire lot freeze.
"what in the actual fucking fuck" yunha muttered as they turned around simultaneously to see...
bella.
the girl was not standing.
she was in a bridge position, except her head was not upside down but straight.
she was still in her uniform from when she came with jisung, except, her hair was messy, the veins in her arms glowing black, her eyes would turn pitch black and her nose looked almost demolished, trail of dried blood extended to the end of her chin. everything about her looked grossly inhumane.
jisung felt his heart stop as he advanced forward only to be quickly grabbed by jaemin.
"leave me!" jisung yelled as he felt himself gravitate towards her.
"idiot! can't you see, she's possesed!" the older yelled as the others got up in alarm.
"oh he's down bad" haechan piped in as minji glared at the boy.
"she needs me!" jisung screamed as he felt his heart collapse.
in no time, bella, uplifted her core as she started moving towards them, still in the bridge position, her hands and legs leaving bloody prints over the dusty floor.
the rest immediately panicked, screeching like animals on a run as they started dashing away.
the hopeless boy was grabbed one arm by jaemin and other by jeno, "fucking idiot she doesn't need your ass, run!"
jisung couldn't help but reluctantly run behind them trying his best not to be swayed towards her direction.
she's not bella. that's not bella. that's not my bella. but...
his heart banged against his cages as he ran forward, his weakness overcome by the overwhelming amount of adreline flowing through his body.
"guys, there! that way!" chenle yelled pointing towards a open door across the hallway.
the loud noises of their desperate running filled the eerie corridors. the run towards the classroom was interrupted when haechan crashed into mark.
the canadian let out a 'oh shit' as he fell, yet again, face flat.
it didn't help that renjun was right in front of him, falling along, on him, again.
the group stopped again, a few groaning and others continuing the run, unbothered about the boys who fell. mark gulped looking at the chinese who inhaled sharply, "MARK LEE ARE YOU FUCKING FOR REAL??"
mark backed away, "I swear it isn't my fau-"
his words cut as a loud ear piercing scream filled the place.
the voice belonged to chenle.
the lot ran towards the chinese whose foot was grabbed by possessed bella. despite feeling scared and completely creeped out, they pulled chenle by the hands. one side was all of them, grabbing chenle's hands while the other side was bella grabbing only his ankle, against all of them.
astonishingly, the female was able to single handedly compete against all of them in a fair tug, obviously winning as the chinese screamed feeling himself get dragged towards her.
bella screamed, feeling her overpowering the rest rising a feeling of victory in her. her commemoration cut off as she spotted jisung, standing behind, his gaze on her.
the girl dropped the chenle's legs feeling her own legs wobble. despite being possessed the effect he had on his remained intact.
the voice in her head demanding her to run away grew stronger as she rain away into the hallway screaming, meanwhile, the chinese let out a small yelp of relief.
and in no time the others headed towards the classrooms. jisung though, stood his ground as his eyes hesitatingly flickered from the others running towards the classrooms to the faded figure of his girlfriend running through the hallway.
as if pulled towards her, jisung turned towards the hallway as he began to run.
