Devilish (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

"Please finish chapter 67 in the textbook for homework, I will be checking next class," my teacher announced as she does every class before the familiar bell rung in my ears. "Rose, can I speak to you for a second?" My teacher spoke up, I slowly dragged my body over to her desk. "Did you sleep last night?" She asked packing up her papers. I furrowed my eyebrows at her in confusion. "Your under eyes are darker than the night sky," she told me placing a hand on shoulder out of comfort.

I awkwardly looked at the floor, biting my bottom lip deciding whether or not to talk about it. "I-I've been having nightmares a-and each night they're getting more vivid, l-like they're getting more... real-" I tried to explain in the sanest way I could, trying to understand the whole thing myself.

"Just accept it," I heard my teacher say, I looked up confused.

"What?" I whispered.

"I said you should've slept in," she repeated giving a small smile. I closed my eyes in annoyance, I know I heard her say something else. "You should head home and get some rest Rose," she told me kindly picking up the rest of her things.

I paused before wanting to speak, her presence starting to freak me out. "Yeah, but I'm already late for 4th period," I mumbled quickly exiting the room. The thoughts riddled in my head, hearing her saying those menacing words repeated in my thoughts but I also heard her say I should've slept at the same time. I began to get extremely annoyed at my situation but before I could conclude anything I bumped into someone dropping my books. I groaned entierly before crushing down to pick up my things. "Sorry," I mumbled to the person who also grabbing their items off the floor.

"You should be."

Fuck, that voice. It took so much of me to look up to match his scary gaze once again. I was once again breathless, frozen, just so entranced by his presence. "Have you found your friend yet Rose?" I heard his voice say again but it was from behind me this time, I quickly turned my head but no one was there. Not just Taehyung but no one was present in the halls. Looking back in front of me I was stunned to see the boy had completely vanished. I stood up abruptly with my books in my hands, my heart beating fast looking up and down the hall. He couldn't have just disappeared? However, that wasn't even my main concern right now.

"How did he know my name?" I asked out loud.

"I'm going to make my way into your mind, corrupt you. Make you hear me,  feel me,  smell me, taste me wherever you go. You're gonna wish you never met me... I'm going to make you mine" I gasped loudly, breathing heavily as always. Those nightmares were a regular thing in my life at this point.

"Ms Taylor have you had anything confronting happening lately?" The lady asked.

"Not that I can remember," I lied.

She wrote down something in her computer, "Well it's odd that you're having vivid dreams for so long, and you're hearing voices did you say?" She asked. My gaze shifting from the floor back to her.

I sighed, "I sound crazy, don't I?"

She chuckled slightly, "With the sleep, you're getting, it sounds completely normal."

"I'm going to prescribe you some sleeping pills, hopefully this helps. If not, I may have to refer to a psychologist. Only take one, half an hour before going to sleep, no more than one, these pills are dangerous if you're not responsible with them". My doctor explained thoroughly to which I kept nodding.

"What are these?" My mother asked once we entered the kitchen, glancing over to the kitchen table.

I entirely rolled my eyes, preparing for a possible lecture. "They're just going to help me sleep," I told her bluntly as I washed the dishes.

I heard her scoff, "You're fine Rose, you're just stressed because of school," she told me before leaving. I closed my eyes in annoyance taking a deep breath.

"Okay."

I stared at the pill intently in my palm, biting my bottom lip, trying to decide if all of this was in my head and I was just stressed or not. I took a deep breath before going to place the medicine in my mouth.

"Don't," I heard. I closed my eyes out of fear, "Don't keep me out," I heard again.

"Stop," I whispered.

"I'll find my way in," the familiar voice spoke.

"Shut up," I argued.

"I'll get you like I got your friend."

"SHUT UP!" I couldn't take it anymore and chucked all the pills on the floor, letting tears spill out of my eyes. I didn't care, I was going to deal with the nightmares tonight. I whipped my eyes before climbing into bed knowing it was going to be a rough night.-
