Her POV

The night in Seoul was full of glittery stars, shining moons and whistling winds. I knew I made the right decision in coming here for a vacation.

Nerma and I were walking down a street dimly lit but more beautiful than any in London. We were just simply chatting...

"Isn't it beautiful here?" I asked, looking into her bright eyes.

"Mmhhmm, I never want to leave," she replied with a smile.

"Honestly, I'm so glad we came here for a break, I'm so not ready for University. Let's never leave here," I commented with a giggle. She giggled back and soon we realised that we had left our hotel miles away. Now we were near a quiet road and a few trees. Breath-taking.

"Yo, Ditzy where are we?" My friend asked me through my nickname.

"Not a shadow of a clue," I replied with confusion etched on my face. I looked around for anyone...there was no one. How strange? Nerma looked around for clues as to where we were but I looked everywhere already.

Out of nowhere, we both started giggling uncontrollably, to the point where tears were streaming down our faces. We giggled like little pigs until I caught my breath and said, "Guess we really aren't going back."

"Omg yeah! You know we should explore what's behind these trees, it looks like something is hiding behind it." I gave Nerma a shriek with fright and she immediately smirked.

"Stoopppp Neemaaa, you know I get scared when you say things like that," I stated seriously.

"Ok dude, calm down. Let's just go see what's behind, it's better than standing here, lost."
I grumbled and replied, "Ughhhhh, fine," like a child, although I was a month older than her.

I held onto her hand tightly while she grinned mischievously and dragged me with her into the woods with her cell phone torch on. I was getting shivers already. If I die, it was nice knowing you Seoul.

Nerma gasped. I grabbed onto her like my life depended on it, literally, and closed my eyes tight.

"If someone's there Nerma tell them I'm ready to die, I was thinking about it moments ago," I whispered with sweat on my forehead.

"Ditzy, look! There's a house! A beautiful one too," she replied, amazed. I slowly open my eyes and gasp at its beauty. It stood around 102 feet tall with extravagant balconies and beautiful lights. Beauty at its finest.

"Let's go in!" Nerma quickly said in anticipation, pulling me with her. I looked at her like she grew two heads and stated, "Are you crazy, we don't even know these people, what if they want to kill us?" She gave me the are-you-serious-right-now look and I just shrugged.

"Well, I'm going inside to find help, you can stay here with the trees that probably have evil spirits lurking in them."

I dragged her towards the house, earning a smirk from her. She ran up the steps and pressed the door-bell excitedly like a child on Christmas Day, her eyes nearly as bright as the stars. We waited patiently, while I was nearly peeing my pants over the fact that there could be a psycho murderer coming to open it.

About 10 seconds later, the door opens and a speaker says the most strangest thing ever...

"How did you find us?"

That was last thing I needed for me to grab her hand and pull her away to leave but she being the child she was replied, "Sir, we are lost can you help us," as if that statement in itself didn't sound like one of those cliché things in horror movies.

"If we die, I will come to your grave and haunt you," I whispered, my only seemingly threat that I could think of. She totally ignored me as she looked up at something or should I say someone. I was so oblivious to this up until now. Wow, I really do fit the name Ditzy.

A man who looked like a human bulldozer in a black suit stood at the door, with a serious look on his face. "You both need to come inside now," he stated firmly.
"Excuse me, but if you need to talk to us, talk to us here," I mustered up the courage to say firmly.

He did not approve of what I had to say, instead counted down from three and me and
Nerma both knew that if we did not get inside, we would probably never live to see Seoul again.

We both rushed up the steps, whilst he shut the door behind us, giving me chills. He led us to a reception area, which looked like its own miniature mansion already and beckoned us to sit on chairs that looked like it was worth more than our life savings combined. Nerma sat to my right whilst the Bulldozer (that's his name from now) sat directly opposite us. Nerma looked like someone had taken the life out of her as he took out his walkie-talkie and said, "What should I do with them?" I assumed he got the reply through the ear-piece and just nodded in response.

Nerma and I waited, my heartbeat racing. Out of the corner of my eye, a man of less-intimidating stature and build came towards us with worry. From his attire, you could tell he owned the place. I fiddled with my fingers as he descended down the stairs, nodding to Bulldozer to which Bulldozer trodded away through another door at the side. I gave Nerma a look of worry whilst she just gave me a look of reassurance.

The middle-aged man gave out a cough to get my attention and I looked at him unwillingly with fear in my eyes.

"Look, I don't intend to scare you two young ladies, but you both need to know something. Whoever knows about this place, never leaves this place. This is a place that holds many secrets and since you both have already come inside, we can't let you leave." Tears were falling from my face, it's not like we willingly came inside? Nerma held onto my hand to comfort me as she looked at the man to carry on.

"I can't reveal too much just yet, since we haven't yet done a background check on the both of you, but I will get someone to assist you to your room for now. You probably have many questions right now, but just cooperate or else we will have to deal with you the hard way," he stated firmly.
