RUPTURES [ AOU × BOOM ]

5 : Curse

HE crashed in the hallway with face on the floor. He was hurt but he must escape the entities. He can't stay at the same spot or else he will be taken over by them. With all the pain, he got up and ran again. Outside, he crashed on the floor again but this time Aou was there to save him.

"Boom!" Aou stormed to Boom who was on the dusty floor. He was taken by surprise.

"Are you okay?" Aou asked out of concern. He helped by grabbing Boom's arm. His new friend was wounded all over because of all the falling.

Boom didn't answer Aou's question but turned back instead. He was checking if the entities were chasing because it will try to possess Aou. He was holding the amulet in his palm while running out of the condo. 

"Take me to the temple!" Boom requested while panting. They have no time to waste. 

Aou's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't understand. Boom grabbed Aou's arm and brought him far from the building. Afraid that the entities might appears and harm them. Boom was worried if it will harm Aou because he was the target too. 

The car unlocked, the both of them were inside the car. Aou drove to the nearest temple in Bangkok. Boom panicked while holding the half destroyed amulet. After 10 minutes, the car stopped outside of a temple. Boom got out of the car in rush and rapidly approaching the main gate just to see that it was locked.

"Boom..." Aou tried to calmed him down. Boom was walking back and forth while chanting something.

Then he held the gate and tried to open the padlock but Aou stopped him, "Boom, don't."

Boom panicked. They have to enter the temple and see the monk! He had to renew the amulet. He was staring at the amulet with worried face. Aou tried to catch up with him but Boom was driven by madness. He couldn't think straight anymore. The demons were trying to possess him and Aou!

He didn't know why Aou was the target too... He will find it out later when they're meeting the monk. But the main problem the gate was locked and the temple was under renovation! He didn't know what to do and where else to meet the monk.

"Boom, hey..." Aou put his hands on Boom's shoulders.

"What should i do..." Boom murmured.

"Boom..."

"What should i do..."

"Boom!"

Boom stunned after the scold. He lifted his gaze and saw Aou was standing right in front of him with hands on his shoulders. No wonder it was warm...

"Calm down..." Aou said.

Boom froze.

"Now can you tell me what happened?" The voice softened. He was seeking for an answer from Boom.

Boom bowed his face down, staring at the amulet on his right palm. He showed it to Aou.

"They almost destroyed this amulet."

Aou was confused. He saw how messy the amulet was. Half burnt. 

"I have to renew the amulet before they come back and harm us." Boom continued. Aou slowly nodded.

"What happened?" Aou repeated his question.

  - FLASHBACK -

"Be one with me, Boom." The grandfather started to change form. It was no longer his beloved grandparent but a creepy silhouette. 

"Let me possess you."
