river - bts

八

that would of been the last thing that happened.

i swear, the last time i was awake, i was drowning myself in a river. now i'm on the floor, under a roofed building.

i looked around nervously. It was like my soul entered a new person, but i was still in my body. my eyes weren't tired, my legs weren't sore. It's like none of that existed. what happened?

the place smelled like smoke. and nothing else. it was the grossest thing i've ever experienced. all i knew what this, i wasn't in heaven or hell.

i was, somewhere else.

it didn't feel like i was dead though, it's like my soul transported to a whole different world. yeah, that's it! it felt so different, such a way i can't describe.

i gulped and tried to stand up on my two feet. I could complete the action, but i felt lightheaded. i wanted to lie back down, but i had to figure out where the hell i was.

i heard the door creak and i immediately turned my head towards that direction. i stood in place for a while, afraid that something was going to happen.

i took a deep breath as i stepped forward. big mistake. once i did that the floor creaked and i could feel someone's hands wrap around me in an aggressive way.

"don't worry love, this won't hurt." a voice spoke out, it sounded too much like a mans.

i started screaming as this person wrapped a bandana around my eyes, blinding me more than i already was. i was about to hit him, but his soft hands kept me from moving a muscle.

he captured me with his presence. i couldn't see him, but he still got me somehow. not technically in a romantic way, but in a way that you just become amazed at his aura.

he smelled like red wine and fresh smoke from cigarettes. his hands reminded me of the gentle touch you get from a human caressing your skin, so warm but so chilling.

long story short, it reminded me of a walking lust. i doubted he was a demon, but i still had to ask. i was afraid to say a word, but the curiosity peaked my interest.

"so you like- a sin or whatever?" i asked. i sounded so unprofessional.

"hah, no. nice guess though, try again."

his voice sounded sharp and aggressive, like a father giving his child a lecture. he tightened my bandana which caused pain.

"uh- um.."

"don't ask about me. what are you doing here?" he asked, trying to make his voice sound like a concerned mother.

then i realized something. this person's voice sounded like me. a lot like me. it was insane at the time, but i ignored it.

"oh uh.. i think i fell in the river-"

"stop. stop right there."

i followed his instructions.

"look, you can't be here." he whispered, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards somewhere.

"why can't i-"

before i spoke more, he put his finger on my lips. he giggled under his breath as he said with the most murderous voice ever;

"we will kill you."

suddenly, i felt my whole body chill up, and i definitely did not feel safe around him anymore. the way he said it and added 'we' just made it all the more like a horror.

i swallowed my spit as i felt his finger move away and heavy winds blow against my face. i still couldn't see, but i wasn't completely blind to what was going on.

i was standing over an edge of a building of some sort, waiting for him to push me off. i started to get nervous, my heart racing and my palms sweating.

i backed up from instinct, but this man turned my body around so my back was facing the edge. he held onto the knot that kept the bandana together. it felt like he was going to untie it.

"well not we, HE will kill you."

i looked up at him, trying to place where his eyes were. this person seemed painfully familiar, but i just couldn't put my finger on it.

"so just don't kill US, okay?"

"us?!" I yelled, "what do you mean by us-"

he untied the bandana and i thought i was dreaming. i thought this was all a fake, this was all my imagination. but no, it's real.

in a second i saw a split image of myself. no, it was me. it was another version of me. except i could see its evil red eyes staring back.

"bye jimin." he giggled.

the wind grabbed my body and threw it off the building. before i knew it i fell into the deep depths of the dark river, it's water engulfing me.

and that's where it started.
