Tori's P.O.V.

Everything went black, and I felt as if I were floating for a few seconds, then my feet were back on the ground. Even before the sound of waves reached me, I could smell what I could only assume was the ocean. I could hear the waves splashing against the shore, and I could imagine what it looked like, the blue washing up against the yellow sand, sunlight reflecting up from the water into the blue sky.

"Tori, come on." I heard Kai say to my right, and I opened my eyes, my surrounding nothing like I had imagined. Looking from Kai to the world around us, all I could see was black and white. The horizon was the split between the black sky and the white ocean, and the ground beneath my feet was grey, everything void of color. "Not what you expected?" Kai asked, then pointed down the grey beach towards Sehun, who was looking out towards the water.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked, then looked out towards the water, and realized what he was staring at. "Oh..."

Kai looked confused, looking out at the water as well, but saw nothing. "What do you see?" He asked, but I was already taking off towards Sehun.

"You see it too?" Sehun asked when I reached him.

"Yeah." I nodded, watching the dark blue shape moving swiftly through the white waves. "What do you think it is?" I asked, and he shrugged, turning away from me, heading further down the beach.

"The path leads this way. Let's go." He said, then walked away. I stood there, not seeing a path anywhere, just a grey beach. "Now. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to." A frown came to my face, as was a little confused as to why he was being so cold all of a sudden. I watched as he grew further away, shaking his head, kicking grey rocks as he went.

"Don't worry about him, he'll get over it eventually." Kai said, pausing beside me for a second, then followed after his brother, clearly in a mood as well.

I sighed, seeing that both of them had the same atmosphere surrounding them, one that could ignite due to even the smallest spark. "Get over what?" I muttered to myself, and slowly walked after the two. Hopefully they wouldn't get into a fight here, where their brothers couldn't pull them apart.

Unknown P.O.V.

I quickly made my way through the halls of the hospital, the lights above me flickering out as I went, plunging everything behind me in darkness. My teeth were clenched as I stormed towards the little bastards room. He was lucky enough to get away from me the first time, but I would make sure his luck ran out this time.

A nurse rounded the corner, happening to glance up when she noticed the lights going out, seeing me heading right for her. About to let out a scream, she turned to run, but two word from me stopped her in her tracks. "Kill yourself." I growled, her eyes flashing magenta, and she pulled the pen from her chest pocket, lodging it right between her eyes, blood slowly dripping down her nose and to the floor. I rolled my eyes, passing her as her lifeless body crumbled to the ground.

"You know that this isn't how you keep a low profile, Caroli-" Ken began from behind me, but I glared at him, cutting him off.

"How many times do I need to tell you not to call me that?" I whispered, poison in my words. He quickly looked to the ground, cowering like he should. I smiled, then turned, continuing down the hall. "Besides, you and your brothers clean up my messes for me so well, so I can do whatever I want and not have to worry about a thing. Right?"
