Boy Meets D.Evil

1.11

A short chapter ahead ;3

Even someone as chaotic and energetic as Hana can sleep through an entire day. Her breathing is irregular, deep, slow, it improved after a few hours, now I'd say she's finally sound asleep. The gauze is dry, which is a good sign and I hope I won't have to disturb her sleep. She insisted on staying at my place because going to the hospital would be too risky. Deep inside, I know she's right. But it keeps bugging me and I can't help but worry whether this will be enough to heal the wound. 

And the guilt I'm feeling for being useless back then... from now on, I'll make sure we fight this together. She even got a cut on her cheek, although I don't remember how she got it? I noticed it before the fight with Wood Killer but never bothered to ask about it. I trailed the tiny cut with my fingers, gently not to wake her up. When her head leaned into my touch, air left my lungs and I froze on spot. What am I doing? I should just let her sleep. But... her skin is so smooth. Watching her sleep is so peaceful, soothing and relaxing I could fall asleep on this chair. Huh, I never noticed some of the features that are visible only now. For example, her long eyelashes. I thought it was makeup since she's wearing lipstick most of the time, they're naturally long and a dark brownish colour. Oh, and her cheek squished with the pillow, so cute. My eyes went down to her tiny hands, resting on the bed sheet. It's unbelievable that those hands are capable of holding a knife and attacking someone. Right now, I'd say she could make any flower bloom with her touch. What about those laces around the wrists though? Nothing was under the choker, so it's the same for this, right? However, I'm still curious. It can't be that simple, but I shouldn't do things behind her back. I'd like to trust Hana that she won't hide crucial information from me. Trust... that's right. Hana's mark on my hand is fine. That must mean our relationship is doing well.   

I jumped in my chair when Hana coughed and frowned. Her face isn't so pale anymore, does she have a fever? Without much thinking done, I placed my palm on her forehead. It is warm, what should I do? Although, I can't think straight. I'm mesmerized by something... something about Hana. My hand glided down to her cheek, soon a blackout followed and I lost my consciousness. 

It lasted for a second or two and when I woke up, I couldn't recognize anything around me. Where am I? Wait... is this... Hana's room? How the fuck... maybe it's a dream? I pinched my arm and expected to see the familiar setting with Hana in the bed next to me. 

...

Why am I still here?

Out of blue, Hana ran inside and went to the mirror to fix her hair and clothes. She can't see me?

"Hana?", I called out and tried to tap her shoulder but my hand went right through her. That's odd... I guess I should go with it. I followed her to the front door while looking around the house. It's not as creepy, it's liveable inside and nothing is creaking or giving me horror vibes. I wonder what happened after her death? Hana opened the door and let someone inside. The person's face is covered in black mist... my guess is Hana can't remember who that was? What is she doing so close to him? Ugh, disgusting. What a bitter sensation overtook when I saw the two of them kiss. I could puke in my mouth. That's not as important but it's simply where my focus went. They finally stopped eating each others' faces. A thought occurred to me... why would she forget her boyfriend's face? What if something tragic and traumatizing is about to happen so she repressed the memory? 

I observed them for some time and nothing interesting took place. Classic couple stuff, it irritated the fuck out of me but what can I do. I believe I'm seeing this for a reason, otherwise, I'd be long gone already. Oh, there it is. Their conversation seems to be heated. Why did it go mute now? Even though I can't hear what they're arguing about, the guy's behaviour is so casual and cocky, like he couldn't care less about Hana crying next to him with her head facing the floor in defeat. She turned away from him and the guy went to the bathroom. I took the chance to sit next to Hana... but for what? I'm unable to comfort her or do anything. She looks beyond hurt, her lips are shaking and her eyes are burning red. If only I could know what made her this way, if only I could beat the shit out of that guy for doing this to Hana. 

He returned to the room and called her over. As if her entire body ached, she took her time standing up and walking over to him. The guy hugged her, triggering me even more. I bet he's lying, telling her only what she wants to hear but doesn't mean it at all. They went to the bathroom and all I can do is furiously follow them to see what happens next. I hope I don't regret this since the guy locked the door behind them and, well, we're in a bathroom. 

I will regret this, but for completely different reasons than expected. Here I am again, only shouting aside and being useless. There's nothing I could do to help Hana when the guy dragged her by the hair so she's bent over the bathtub. She's desperately fighting him but it's of no use. Then the guy picked up a saw and placed it on Hana's neck. This isn't actually happening... maybe it did, but I'm not watching the real thing... right? He moved his hand as Hana still didn't give up. 

My head hurts so much, I feel like it's going to explode

Hana...

There's a growing pressure inside of it, my eyes are going to jump out. Blood flowed to my mouth and I couldn't keep it in due to the pressure and how much there was. The sound of the saw going through my spinal cord is so scary, when will it end? Every heartbeat is sending sharp pain through my body- oh, it finally got cut. He didn't get to saw it all off as the weight of my head dragged me down, ripped some of the skin on its way, followed by darkness taking over my vision and in the end...  my head fell in the bathtub with a nightmarish thump, my body stayed over the edge, lifelessly, still pumping out blood.

Oh my god... Hana... what did he do to you? What made me go check the bathtub? The image will haunt me forever now, especially when I heard the head say something. I stayed still until it spoke again

"Yoongi"

"No way!", I shouted and fell when my knees gave in. What the hell, I did not just hear it talk!

"Yoongi... please..."

"Stop it!", I covered my ears and closed my eyes shut, hoping to return to reality and forget about everything I just saw. My body started to shake uncontrollably, I think I feel tears on my cheeks although everything is numb, hard to connect, surreal, driving me crazy... I could go on and on for an eternity

"Relax, it's me", someone put my hands down and cupped my face. I still didn't dare to open my eyes, who knows what horror will come next

"Open your eyes, there's nothing to be scared of", I hesitated at first since I'm sick of the bathroom. I recognized Hana's voice, she rubbed my cheeks and asked me once again to trust her and calm down. I obeyed her words and carefully opened my eyes. It caused a few more tears to stroll down my face but at least I wasn't in that fucking house in the Wood anymore. I wiped away the remaining tears and took a deep breath while leaning in my chair

"What was that?"

"It was just a nightmare"

"Why did I see it then?"

"I... I don't know. I'm sorry you had to go through that"

"Are you sure it was just a nightmare? It felt very real", the girl sighed and looked around before falling back on the bed 

"Let's hope so"
