Sleep Paralysis [ Vkook ]

I opened my eyes and it felt as if a huge rock was lifted from my chest.

Nothing.

My room was the same, I could move too. The sun shone through the window and I felt as if everything in my life could reach the normal pace I had dreamed of for so long.

While smiling like an idiot, I got ready for the day and went to the kitchen to make myself and maybe for my roommate too – some coffee and breakfast. My mood was so lifted because of the easy wake up, I was practically skipping instead of walking.

While I ate, I noticed that the apartment was suspiciously quiet.

Maybe Taehyung is still asleep - I thought that at first but he always wakes up before me and especially on a sunny day like this, since he's a really light sleeper in the mornings.

After an hour or so, of eating alone, I decided to try and wake him up. Not that I felt lonely without him – quietness used to be, and still is, my heaven.

We have to visit a few other places to live in that we found on the internet anyway.

I slowly opened his door, so not to disturb him if he was awake, just to be greeted by darkness.

How could this be? It's so light outside.

He probably wanted to sleep in, so he covered the windows – I tried to convince myself while a bad gut feeling slowly crept into me.

Out of nowhere, a stream of light shone through the room – lighting up the corner of it, where Taehyung sat, mouth covered, trying to scream something to me. Without thinking much, I ran to him and as I got closer – he struggled and screamed even more. Finally, I reached him and uncovered his mouth.

"Run and never look back!" He shouted into my face.

He was shaking and crying, when I tried to say something – I realized – I was too.

"W-what are you talking about? I'm not leaving you, it's all my fault." I kept mumbling on and on while trying to untie him.

"No no no, you - are going to watch while we play." A low voice whispered behind me.

I froze, and not just because of fear – someone was not letting me.

That someone paralysed my whole body.

How is that possible?

Taehyung's eyes widened when he heard the voice that could send chills down the spine even for the bravest person. A silent cry escaped my frozen lips as I felt my body being thrown across the room.

"You know, I thought you were smarter, Kookie...Kookie..." The sound flew around Junkook, strangling him like a snake, repeating his nickname laced with wicked venom that pumped through its being – filling the whole room. "But your decision is even better for us – now we'll get to see a full show. Two suffering rats, crying for each other...Each other." The monster repeated those two words mockingly, followed by a loud, squeaky laughter that reminded of long fingernails scraping a chalkboard.

I guess this is the end for me.

I closed my eyes, ready to meet my end.

But again – was met with silence. I slowly peeked through my eyelids and saw that everything was the same – Taehyung still sat in the other side of the room.

Our eyes met.

His, usually calm and collected, warm ones, now twinkled with fear and worry.

Suddenly, Taehyung's eyes froze, his chest franticly moving up and down.

Something's not right, why I'm still alive and not hurt at all? Is all of this just for his "show"?

I tried moving my fingers, tried to concentrate my thoughts.

Taehyung's scream send fire through my body, a huge slash was now evident on his left hand, from the shoulder down to his elbow, followed by the creepy chucking.

"Stop!"

My vision went red and I couldn't think straight anymore, I don't remember how but I managed to free myself and run straight to him. Some force tried to hold me back but I moved without hesitation.

Without fear.

I untangled him and took his exhausted body into my hands that were still tingling from being paralysed. How long has he been here?

I moved straight to the door, to escape the room.

"Where do you think you're going?"

A sound of the door being locked echoed through the room.

"Let us out!" I demanded, trying to keep my voice strong and void of any emotion.

"What?" The voice sounded taken aback by my tone.

"I said, let us out!" I roared.

"Oh, how brave, I might cry." It cooed.

"Taehyung, Jungkook?! Are you there?!" Someone banged the door, shutting the monster silent.

I got lost too, for a short moment.

Is this real or is it just my mind playing tricks?

"Jongsuk?" Taehyung mumbled.

Then it clicked.

"Jongsuk! We're here! Help! "I yelled with all my might.

"Shut up." The darkness hissed.

I felt my legs beginning to freeze again but I stood strong and tried to fight it.

Finaly, the door swung open, revealing the man with a cast on his hand, he slowly walked into the room while chanting something in a language I couldn't understand.

Whatever he did, it slowly chased the darkness away, I just stood there dumfounded with Taehyung in my hands.

Jongsuk took something from his pocket, uncovered the windows and drew a few signs with it on them while mumbling.

He turned around and bored his gaze into mine.

"What are you waiting for? Bring him to the hospital. I promise, this time, when you get back, you won't find me unconscious."

With a quick nod I did as told, leaving the door of the room open, running into the streets barefoot.

And I found out that a man with tear stained cheeks and a limp body in his hands – isn't an everyday sight for the nurses.
