Chapter 5

I was woke up by a blood curdling scream. I jumped out of bed and ran over to the top of the staircase. Before I walked down the steps, I noticed all of the picture frames previously lined up along the staircase were now all shattered on the floor. I looked down the stairs to make eye contact with V and Jhope. "Is Ms. Han Okay?" I asked. They both nodded.
"She was about to go up the stairs when they all started shaking. As soon as they hit the floor that's when she screamed and ran out the door,"Jhope explained.
"What about her two daughters?" I asked.
"They went to school already."

I groaned and went back into the bedroom to grab some clean clothes out of my bag. I figured I'd deal with this problem once I got ready and had more energy. I walked to the bathroom only to find that the bathroom had a tub instead of a shower. With no other option I opted for a nice warm bath.

As I washed the soap off my body, I laid my head against the back of the tub to relax. I closed my eyes as I thought about what happened last night. Why did that demon threaten to eat Taehyung? Demons don't eat people, the most they do is feed off their fear and energy. That means either two things. One, he doesn't realize I'm a paranormal investigator and is just saying whatever he wants to scare me, or two, he doesn't even know that much about being a demon. Maybe he just recently escaped from hell? Maybe trying to communicate with him would be the simplest option. After all, I had no idea what these other demon's plans were with us.

As I finished that thought I felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders. I didn't even have to look back to know it wasn't human.
I laid my head back against the tub and made eye contact with the red eyed shadow. "Well fuck," I sighed, preparing for whatever came next.

Within seconds the entity pushed my shoulders down and buried me under the water. I grabbed both sides of the tub but the hands holding me down were so strong that I couldn't pull myself out. I tried to hold my breath and feel around above the water for the figure, but I soon remembered I couldn't grab it when it wasn't even in its physical form. I put my hands back under water and felt for the plug at the bottom of the tub, hoping I could drain the water before I lost consciousness. Every time I almost reached the plug, the demon pulled me back. Just as I felt I was about to pass out, the hands let ago. I threw my body out of the tub and gasped for air on the floor. When I looked up there was no figure in sight. I quickly threw on my underwear and some black jeans and rushed out of the bathroom.  I practically sprinted downstairs, skipping over the broken glass fragments, just to have a conversation with the trainees.

"Hey Ji- you're shirtless," Jhope's eyes widened.
"Not bad, I didn't know psychics had time to work out. I figured they'd be too busy saving people's lives with their sixth sense to worry about staying fit," V joked as J-Hope smiled and nodded with him in agreement.
"I'm not a psyc- oh whatever none of that has anything to do with what's important," I shook my head, "the point is, some demon just tried to drown me."
"Well, aee you okay?" V asked.
I rolled my eyes, "No I actually drowned back there in the water and this is just my ghostly body here to let you know what's going on. Of course I'm okay! The point is, we have to talk to these demons now before they get out of control. I don't think the one that tried to drown me was the one I talked to yesterday."

"Hold up, you talked to one yesterday?" V asked.
I nodded, "he wasn't too bad, he even called you cute."
V raised his eyebrows, "a demon called me c-cute?"
"He even said he wanted to rip you apart and eat you, but once again we're getting off track. I think we need to do a séance in order to talk to them."
"Is that where we hold hands and you do some magic voodoo stuff, light a candle, and magically talk to demons?" Jhope joker.
"It's a lot more professional than that but yes," I muttered.

"Are we forgetting the part where there's a demon in this house who wants to eat me? Any red flags there or did we just skip over that?" V asked.
I turned to look him, "Were you almost drowned? No? Then let me speak Mr.Victorious. Séance, just us three. Doing this opens up a door for demons to possess bodies and I don't want this family getting hurt. Therefore they need to stay out of the house just for today despite what I said earlier."
Jhope nodded and ran over to call Ms. Han on the phone.
"V, can you go get me some candles? I think they're in the back of my car."
He sighed, clearly not over my previous argument with him, and left. I grabbed the broom and quickly cleaned up the glass and picture frames on the staircase, before rushing upstairs to put on a shirt and some shoes.
