Blood Roses // Dorbyn

Chapter 5 (Lungs of Bewilderment)

"Where is she then?" Bailey asked

"Hmm.Maybe me on the third floor!" Jonah said as he rushed through the stairs

All the six of us rushed upstairs as we got on the third floor. The third floor has the most rooms, so we split into three pairs as we went on room by room, trying to find Harlia, Until we heard Andrea scream not too far from the room near us.

"HARLIA!!!" Andrea screamed.

As we momentarily heard the scream we rushed to the last room to find Andrea on the floor crying while Richard engulfing her in a hug, blocking the view of the body of a lifeless person.

We looked at the body of Harlia, She was brutally murdered as she was impaled on the wall, her chest was ripped out as to seemingly her lungs was missing. Blood dripping from the walls down to the floor, beside her lifeless body was a note written on the wall, along with the book whom she loved to read.

Jonah and Bailey slowly went near to read what's written on the wall.

She let herself into her doom, making my job easy, who's next?

Along with it is the symbol we found earlier on the letter. Then looking to the book that was on a small table, I also finally got the courage to come and read what's in it while telling Richard to bring Anna back and tell the news, Jonah followed them aswell.

The book was opened, of course it is, but the part that the book was particularly strange as it was The Ritual of Euphoric Love by Piper  M. Jorbyn (entirely an fictional book made up by me.) The book was on the 6th chapter. where the protagonist was given the requirements to find so that she can make the perfect love she was finding for. The items she need to find were listed below the second to the last paragraph of the chapter.

Requirements:

Black Heart

Lungs of Bewilderment

Brain of Information

Perfect-Arched Spine

Skin of Two Temperatures

Alexithymian Body

 I blankly stared at the book as a small piece of white paper was sticking outside, flipping the page to find a note  by that person again...

Look's like she discovered my intentions!, Meh she was going to die anyways. Good luck guessing who's next!! -love xoxo

Ps: I kinda liked her, especially the book.

My eyebrows furrowed as my head hurts trying to comprehend this situation so I grabbed the book and left the room, due of the fears I ran away, Corbyn and Bailey following behind. As we finally reached the first floor where everyone is located. I got on our safe room, Opening it as eyes were on all on the three of us.

"So.... did you found her guys?" Zach spoke, not maintaining eye contact as he looked on the window, where a small ray of glistening light slowly peeping down through his eyes.

"Of course you high-school dropout, there's no reason why Andrea is crying for no reason." Andrew retorted, glaring at Zach

"Where then?" Jhared asked.

"Third Floor, Last room on the far right." Corbyn said.

"Well that's fucked up." Andrew spoke

As I sat on on the couch, resting my elbows on my thighs as I covered my face with my hands, groaning in frustration. As I let my thoughts fade away on the thin air, hearing someone argue. But I didn't mind it, then a feeling of arms engulfing me in a hug. Unconsciously broke down as I cried into their chest. While their arms wrapping around me.

Corbyn's POV (Finally uwu)

I just let Daniel cry into my chest, roaming my hand up and down on his back to calm him down, also tried to whisper sweet things on his ear, he somewhat tightened his grip as he heard my voice, knowing it was me. I don't know why It hurts me seeing Daniel cry, I feel my heart shatter into pieces seeing this beautiful tooth-gaped giraffe broke down onto my arms. Wait. Did I say beautiful? No no no don't Corbyn. Don't let your hopes up, don't let that thing happen again like what Christina did to you. Don't. But................

It really hurts me to see him cry like this.
