!! Trigger Warning !! Minor gore.

My shoulders held down by some scaley pair of hands, while they shoved a hat on me. Why was something slithering on my scalp? The sound of 'thhsss' ran through my head, turning every muscle in my body to cold and stiff. As if all the blood was sucked out of me.

"Now you tell me what you did with her," said the same black man who had an extremely formal tone of vocabulary. I didn't recognise it at first because I thought I was just hearing things, but now I understand. He's not any good from now on. What did I do wrong? I didn't understand what he meant. I didn't understand who he was talking about. Whose her? I wanted Jeontu back. I wanted to go home... "SPEAK!" he bellowed, but it only made me cry. Not speak.

I couldn't speak. I... I was too scared they would do something to me. Jeontu wasn't making any sound outside so these walls may be thick enough for sound proof. I saw nemA roll his eyes amongst the tears in my eyes.

"I-I don't know who y-ou-you're talking about," I quivered out before stiffening back up.

Luckily, I did because I was grabbed and chucked against the wall, with a punch to the gut. Just then, I screamed as loud as I could before the baby snakes from the hat tried to muffle me out. Thumping came from the other side before the door bashed open. Jeontu- saving me like she promised... haha... it brought an unexpected smile to my face again.

"Master! Are you alright!?" I shook my head in honesty as she turned her attention to me, gripping the hat in anger and throwing it to the floor. She should've stabbed the thing, but at least it's away from me.

"MASTER!? SHE is not our-" nemA tried to speak out of anger.

"She is a master's friend. Don't you see? We need to treat her as equal status," interrupting nemA with truth. "And there's no point in trying to find her. She's dead, Amber saw it herself." I nodded in agreement, but none of them flinched or cried wolf like I was expecting them to. Almost like they didn't believe me.

"Over her dead carcass," nemA said coldly as two horns ripped through his skull and skin, twisting in a spiral and snapping into place. Whilst his eyes shifted to blood red in only a few blinks, as if they were being fueled by another soul.

"Master, get out of here quickly! I'll chase pursuit," I hesitated before listening to her orders. Seeing the same emotionless guy now having a hole through his chest yet still alive... he waved at me as I stumbled back.

Thank god I didn't fall, but I felt like I could at any moment. I got to the stairs and shuffled my way down. My legs trying to give in as I ran out of breath only halfway down the flight of stairs; bashing into the wall. My attention span for checking if anyone was going to kill me next was not on the list as a hunky guy dropped from the railing- axe in hand. Swinging uncontrollably until I dipped just at the right time, causing his axe to smash the wall and get stuck. Not for long though, clashing his axe out and down to murder me as I was cornered in like a pet in the circus. Thankfully, Jeontu always had my back- this time front- impaling her spear in his skull- going limp for a short while.

"J-Jeontu!!" I yelled as she also jumped down from the railing. Does no one believe in stairs? Grabbing ahold of my wrist and plunging her blood covered spear into his membrane.

"Quick, before it's too late," she warned, speedily walking as I sprinted after her with the help of her hand wrapped around my wrist.

No one was on our way afterwards.

From a far I head faint shots and yelps infused with cries of pain- sometimes agony. I was more so scared than before meeting nemA. That day still sends me shivers in all my limbs. Jeontu was helpful than myself in this scenario but I never lend a helping hand so I can't say anything regarding such. Busting down the heavy and thick oak door with a forceful kick, only to see the light-hearted monsters fighting the government's armed forces.
