"I need help," it was your voice. You opened your eyes. You were sitting on the cliffside looking over the trees and into the sky. The moon hung in the sky accompanied by millions of stars.

"I don't know if I can do this." your words left your lips. A large gust of wind came up behind you, blowing your hair into your face. The cool air sends a chill down your spine. You closed your eyes taking in a deep breath. You opened your eyes.

You were standing on the shore of the lake. The water licked at your bare feet. The moon reflected perfectly over the surface of the calm water.

You heard rustling from the trees behind you. You turned toward the trees. A slender woman with the whitest of skin and sleek black hair that reached down to her waist came through the trees, walking onto the lakeshore. You were in a trance by the woman; something about her felt so familiar, but you couldn't put your hand on it.

The woman's feet touched the water. She immediately froze. She looked at you. Her eyes glowed an icy white that resembled the moonlight. Then it hit you, "Mom?"

The woman turned back toward the water; she started walking into the water slowly getting deeper.

"Mom?"  you took a few steps forward plunging into the freezing water, "Stop!"

The woman stopped. She turned toward. She opened her mouth. Her mouth formed words, but no noise left her lips. She turned back to the water and continued deeper into the lake. You ran towards her submerging yourself chest-deep into the water. You reached out; your fingertips just grazing her long hair.

She turned around in the blink of an eye. Her hand grabbed your wrist hard. Her finger dug into your skin causing you to yelp in pain.

"Mom, stop. Mom, stop!" you were starting to yell as her hand tightened. She started pulling you deep and deeper into the water. The water reached up to your nose. You tried freeing yourself, but her grip was like a vice. You screamed for help, but the water-filled up mouth and nose. Your lungs burned as you were pulled deeper and deeper into the icy water.

You kicked your legs and swung your arms. The water burned your lungs; your chest tightened. Your vision became blurry. You blinked your eyes.

You opened them. You were standing on the cliffs edge. You turned around. Your mom stood right behind you. Her eyes glowed a bright burning light.

"Fly," she said before putting her hand on your chest before pushing you back off the cliff. Your stomach dropped as your body plunged toward the ground.

Screams tore from your lips. You felt sudden movements under your back. Your body flailed around. Hands came down around you, trying to hold you in place. Your eyes shot open. Yunho's face was inches from yours. You could see the sky flying by through the window.

You took a deep breath trying to calm your nerves. You looked down seeing who else was holding you still: Jooheon and Jungkook.

Jungkook

His hair was much longer than before. His face was thin and pale; he reminded you of a ghost. He was holding your legs down. You kicked your legs breaking free of his hold. You crawled into Yunho's lap wrapping your arms around him never taking your eyes off of Jungkook. The car pulled to a stop on the side of the road.

"Why is he here?" you whispered tightening your arms around Yunho as he pulled you into a hug. You rested your head on his shoulder while continuing to stare as Jungkook.

"You don't remember?" Hong Joong said turning from the driver's seat. You shook your head. He rested a hand on your knee, "Let me show you." He lied your hand palm up. You grabbed it intertwining your fingers. You took a shaky breath and closed your eyes.

***

You were taken back into the black room. You saw you and Yunho lying on the floor. You listened to the words of the men closely. You saw as you rose from the ground and pointed to Jungkook. You couldn't remember doing that at all.

You watched as Yunho woke up. He started coughing and you saw the ash fly from his mouth. It broke your heart. He was suffering, and now you knew it was because of you.

"You need to act quickly. She is poisoning him." you heard Hitman say to the men. Your heart stopped.

"Poisoning?" Jooheon asked.

"Yes, essentially, she is slowly killing him, soon, you will all be dying. If she dies before transition, you all will die." Hitman continued. You wanted to jump into the dream, and try to fix everything, but all you did was lie on the floor as you were slowly killing everyone around you.

"How do we know when it's time?" Shownu asked. You wanted to reach out and brush his cheek and tell him everything is okay, but you couldn't do anything.

"She will know."

You didn't know what to do. You didn't know when it was going to happen. What if they die before you are ready?

***

You opened your eyes. Your cheeks were soaked with tears. Hong Joong gave your hand a final squeeze before pulling away. You turned and looked at Yunho. You felt the car move again as Hong Joong steered back into the road.

You cupped Yunho's face looking into his eyes. He looked thin and pale. He wasn't the same as when you first met him. He was dying because of you, and you could see him slowly weakening. You wrapped your arms around him holding him tighter than ever before. He held you tight to him. Your body shook as you sobbed violently into Yunho's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry," you wept. Everyone in the car was silent. You just sat there ugly crying. Yunho petted your hair shushing you. "I can fix this." you sat up looking at everyone in the car. You pointed your finger at all of them. Your eyes were wide and red, "I will not let you die." 

"We believe in you," Jooheon said taking your hand, stroking it slowly with his thumb.

"I need to fly."
