I shut my eyes tightly. Stop,please stop...
Then, he fishes out my white gem necklace.
"Ah,there you are. The last piece of gem to complete my ritual"

He ripped the gem off my neck and stand up,throwing me aside. I wince again and suddenly realisation hit me.
He,he was the traitor. The traitor in the mansion, so that must mean...

"You're trying to make the Sacred Key..."I weakly said.

"Wow,you're so smart girl, but the time's up, i have to take over EverHill since you're doing a bad job at it and, that freak didn't continue the Black badge legacy." He half heatedly point his sword to Jungkook.

"What?" I whispered.

"My lady, you still don't see? Let me help" he walked over to Jungkook and cut open Jungkook's sleeve. Jungkook quickly advert his face away.Then,i could see clearly, he was... the man. The one that have long scar on his arm, the one that his mother had killed my only sister, the one that was going after my father's throne, the one...that belongs to the Black badge.

My tears slipped as i saw Jungkook tried to look away as Cliff pull his hair to face me. He was then kicked by Cliff,making him wince.
"Look what you've done,making a girl cry. That's not nice. Now enjoy life while i take over EverHill...while you still can"he let out,yet another dark laugh.

Soon,his figure and his footsteps faded out leaving me stunned. Jungkook was looking away, so i quietly crawl to him.

"I'm sorry,i'm sorry.I know that you'll knew it eventually. Please hate me all you want. But please don't leave me,please...I need you to be here,with me. I know it sound sellfish but you shoul know that actua..."

I cut him off by laying my lips on his. He return the kiss, laying his lips so gently against mine,as if he was scared that i would break and faded away. I was crying by the moment we pull away from each other.

"Don't cry, you're breaking my heart with your tears"

I cupped his face, his ruined face was full of dried blood and bruises that was too hurtful to count. I kiss him again and brush my fingers across his hair, feeling his presence against my touch. As i touch his cheek,he wince, making me draw my fingers away. He was is pain, but he still manage a smile to me.

I run my hands through my hair and pull out a bobby pin. My fingers slipped it in the lock and soon, the handcuffs on the chain open, making Jungkook fall lifelessly onto my lap. I quickly hug him in that back ache position and my tears drop off fast. Jungkook hug me and kiss my forehead, it was a long one. Longer than any of our kiss on the lips ever lasted.

"You're not mad?"

"We have better things to do"

He nod and i slowly help him to get out of here,this hell. It was a long way out to the hallway,and i should still figure out how to get the passage way to open. Jungkook was walking as fast as he can, but with Cliff's brutal carving just now, it was almost impossible to walk properly.

"I'm sorry..."

I shake my head, he shouldn't say sorry. Well,yeah, it was him, the one who was there on that day, but somehow, i couldn't be mad. It wasn't fair, i realise. Before, i feel like i would stranggle the one that was there,during my sister's death. But now,since i realise it was Jungkook, i couldn't do so. I was shocked,yes, but revenge...i don't feel like doing so. Right now,the most important thing is,

To save EverHill,and possible,my throne.
