Y/n slowly started to regain consciousness, her head feeling muddled and hazy. Her throat was aching from the pressure of Bitter's hand, rethinking about it made her suddenly feel dread. She felt weak and dizzy and she hated it.

But as her senses began to sharpen, her watery eyes started to open and she realized where she was. She was in LJ's cold bed with him sitting by her, keeping his eyes on her.

He wasn't being overly sweet or gentle towards her, but there was a hint of possessiveness mixed into his care for her. His manner was almost obsessive. His face straight but you could tell he felt those things from his eyes.

It's as if he saw her as his own property and no one else's, now that he finally has her back into his possession. His gaze was intense and there was a slight edge of anger is his look.

LJ didn't make any sudden gestures towards her, but he was watching carefully, almost like he studying her. And it was with that same look, it's like he needed her to be his and no one else's. He couldn't stand the idea of someone else touching her or keeping her away from him so long. It was eating him alive.

Y/n swallowed the saliva that she has sitting her mouth, a painful look appeared on her face as she felt the soreness of her throat and her neck. "Would you stop staring at me?" She asked, with a slight rasp in her voice.

LJ's expression didn't change much at her words. His gaze remained fixated on her, but he simply replied. "No."

He wasn't going to stop staring anytime soon, not when she was finally here in front of him again, for good this time...

A sigh left her lips, "What do you want from me?" Her voice is still raspy and a bit weak, She wanted to know what he was thinking and what he plans on doing with her now that he finally has her again.

LJ's eyes darkened a bit as they narrowed slightly,  He didn't respond immediately but his expression spoke volumes. "Many things... but let's not worry about that right now."

She slightly rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling not wanting to look at him right now, she felt too many things. Emotionally, mentally and physically.

A heavy sigh escaped from her mouth as she turned to her side and went into a deep thinking about the vivid nightmare LJ had forced upon her. She didn't want to think about it but it kept playing in her mind like a broken record.

"Get up." LJ spoke as he stood up from the chair, her eyebrows immediately furrowed as she turned her head to look up at him. "Why?" She questioned him.

An annoyed expression appeared on his face as he rolled his eyes. "Because I said so, Now up."

"Sorry, I want to rest. I was literally tormented by Bitter?" She said trying to remind him why she was resting in the first place, He clearly didn't care as he grabbed her wrist and the both of them appeared together at the carnival.

They both stood on the stopped carousel, LJ pointed to the carnival, the dead children were back to their normal selves, the hard rain was gone and the lights and sounds were alive, but
Y/n didn't feel anything about it.

"Everything is back to normal. Bitter is gone." He said, as he looked forward feeling like himself again. LJ's eyes darted to her face to see her stiff face. After what Bitter did to her, it made her hate this carnival even more than she did before.
