The Mystery Lies Within You (Mystic Messenger Fan Fiction)

Chapter Three: Inseparable

With Eden and Rachel

At 5:00AM

Eden couldn't shut her eyes for even a split second. Since their poor excuse of a bed was utterly useless, Rachel and her had decided to sleep on the floor while sharing that old towel that was supposed to resemble their blanke. Since Saeran was being cheap with them, they had no pillows and let's just imagine the pain that their poor heads were being put through. And as if that wasn't enough, was the never lasting pain inside the bones of Edens ankle adding up to her discomfort. Not to mention, had their lives just turned upside down. She glanced at Rachel who had been keeping her eyes tightly shut for what felt like hours. But Eden knew that she wasn't sleeping. Nobody could sleep after being put through what they had gone through throughout one day. If only they hadn't clicked on that damn mode, they would be still in their college dorm together, leaving their lives like normal girls did...at least inside their " world ". But then again, how could they have ever known what was coming for them? From what he had told them, if it was now the truth, had Saeran been planning this for a long time...It was meant to happen sooner or later. Now, all that there was for them to do was to get their asses out of this place and hopefully find someone else other than Saeran who would end their " Bonjour, mon amis! " to " Au revoir, chiennes! ". And the only person that Eden could think of who was capable of doing that was...

"Rachel! Rachel!", she half whispered. Rachel slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at Eden with tired eyes, begging for some rest. But of course, there was no way that she was going to sleep either.

"Waht...?" Rachel mumbled while staring at Eden through half-shut eyes. Eden tried to sit up slowly, but her back had grown too stiff after being pushed down by her weight on the floor for that long. She just gave up on the attempt after a few aches picked on her spinal cord. She glanced at what looked like her ankle through the darkness and all that she could see was all the bandages that were covering her ankle like a cast or something. There was no way that she could partake in the mission that she had came up with.

"I need you to get our phones back. " Eden said, still wincing from the pain from her former attempt at sitting up that was hitting her in the back. Rachel's sleepy eyes widned and she sprung up like she had seen a ghost in the endless darkness surrounding the room. That was except for the moonlight that had crept it's way through the crystal glass that was distancing them from the world outside. The reflection of the moonlight on the cold old wooden floor was truly eye catching. That was if they could keep their swollen eyes open.

"Are you crazy!? That's suicide! " Rachel whisper-yelled at her. Eden would've given her the puppy dog eyes but there was no way that Rachel would've been able to make out her expression behind the shadows that were covering her face.

"I would've done it myself but that guy literally destroyed my ankle. Pleaseeeeee!", Eden pleaded. She really needed to be able to contact Seven at the moment. He was their only hope.

"Why do you want it back anyways?!" Rachel asked, fiercely. Eden felt the temperature inside her body rise. She could feel how boiling blood was starting to collect inside her cheeks. She was grateful to the darkness that was shielding her from Rachel's sight.

"I-I want to talk to someone.." Eden mumbled so quietly that Rachel could barely make out what she was saying. She couldn't see herself at the moment but she was sure that her face was bright crimson. Rachel let out a quiet " Hah? ". In usual cases, she would've yelled but she didn't want to risk waking Saeran up. Especially not if she was going to listen to her friends command. Even though the risks of waking Saeran up who slept in his room that was on the first floor was very small, she didn't want to test her luck. Besides, he might've assigned some guards to watch over their room and if those guards miraculously had fallen asleep behind their door just like in the movies, then Rachel was one hundred percent going to avoid waking them up.
