READER'S POV

,,(Y/N)~~"

I open my eyes, suddenly standing in the middle of a forest, the forest looming around me, its gnarled trees clawing at the sky. A dense fog blankets the ground, swallowing every step I take.

I look around, being confused. The last thing I remember is lying next to Choso and falling asleep. What am I doing in the middle of a forest? Or wait... Is this a dream? I pinch my arm, making myself wince in pain. Nope, not a dream.

I continue walking, the crunching of leaves under my feet echoing through the air. ,,Hello?", I shout, the wind carrying my voice but nobody responds.

A shiver runs down my spine and I start to tremble. I look down, seeing that I'm only wearing a shirt from Choso and shorts. Fuck... It's so cold... Also... When did I change into those clothes? I sigh and look back up.

What should I do? I'll freeze to death... Suddenly I hear the crunch of leaves behind me, echoing like a death knell. I don't dare to turn around but I can feel it- something massive, its breath hot and rancid against the back of my neck.

The sound it makes is neither human nor animal, a guttural growl that seems to vibrate inside my skull. I try to let cursed energy flow through my body but it doesn't work. What... This can't be...

I slowly turn around, looking at the curse that looks like a demon, towering over me. Its skin is a patchwork of molten cracks, glowing with a red light. Then my eyes wander to the red eyes, its gaze fixed on me.

Suddenly it stretches its mouth unnaturally wide, revealing rows of needle-like teeth. Run. My jaw clenches and I take a step back. Then I start to run, branches tearing at my skin, roots snagging at my feet, but I don't stop.

A loud growl echoes through the forest from behind me and I start to run faster, my lungs burning, my legs screaming for rest but I can't stop. My breathing is shallow and my arms hurt, probably having a few cuts.

The curse's growl grows louder, more insistent and I look over my shoulder, seeing that it's a few metres away. Yes! I take the opportunity and quickly hide behind a tree. The curse runs past it and I swallow.

Only my shallow breathing breaks the silence around me. I slowly walk forward, being careful with each step, not wanting to make a noise.

,,Oh, hello there~"

I flinch and look at my side, my eyes widening as I see Kenjaku standing next to me. He looks me up and down, a wide grin spreading across his face:,,I have you exactly where I want you to be~"

I grit my teeth, forgetting about the curse as I take a step towards him:,,What the fuck are you doing here?" ,,Watch your tongue, (Y/N)~", Kenjaku reaches out to brush a strand of hair out of my face but I slap his hand away.

,,Oh..", he says and laughs.

,,Ah, as for your question... I'm here to abduct you for.. Well, it doesn't matter", Kenjaku grins. ,,You abducted me once and I'll escape again so stop this stupid, psychopathic game", I say between gritted teeth and my brows furrow.

Kenjaku rolls his eyes:,,Well, except for this time, I have a better plan.."

,,What do you even want to achieve with abducting me?!", I snap. Kenjaku sighs:,,Well... Since you will be conscious for a while, I guess I can tell you.."

,,I want to weaken Satoru so I can kill him."

I blink, the puzzle pieces slowly falling into place and when I realise fully what he is planning, I gasp, turning around to run away, but the curse is standing in my way.

I open my mouth to let out a scream but before a sound is able to escape my lips, the curse slams his claws into my chest, a pained wince coming out of my mouth. Fuck... No... I failed... I failed as a sister... No no no no...

The curse lets out a shrill, maniacal laugh, pulling out my heart. A searing heat erupts in my chest, spreading outward like wildfire, every nerve alight with unbearable agony.

Every beat of what should be in my chest sends shockwaves of phantom pain through my body, each pulse a mocking echo of life. My breath comes out as ragged gasps, each inhalation stabbing at the emptiness in my chest.

I watch as the curse implants something in my heart, my vision blurring with each passing beat until my eyes fall shut, the world around me falling silent. ...
