Ice Lake Hospital

Wings

Just talk? To what? The snow?

You thought as you plugged your ears with your fingers, so you wouldn't hear the lady of the lake's cry. There was nothing except snow around you. Not a single tree in sight. Just hills, located about 200 feet away. 

After some hesitation, you decided to go up the hill in front of you without looking back at the lake, praying that you wouldn't be seen.

What am I even even doing here? I should have followed the fairies home.

You thought after tumbling down the hill to the other side, facing down on the ground, exhausted. Then, you sat up.

Wait till I find you, Taehyung. I'm going to lecture you so bad.

You crawled up the same hill you tumbled down while thinking and searched for the lady of the lake. But, she was nowhere to be seen. 

Maybe she's gone? So, what do I now?

You thought about what Dahlia said and tried to communicate with nature. But, the more you tried, the more frustrated you became. 

This is ridiculous!

You scratched your head and took a deep breath. 

No. This is the only way. Have an open mind.

You told yourself and tried again, but still nothing responded and you gave up. You took off your shoes and hoodie, feeling uncomfortable and itchy, especially in your back.

Ugh!

You couldn't reach your back and again, gave up. 

I'm gonna be stuck here forever.

You sighed and look up the purple sky. You were about to drift into sleep, but the lady of the lake's cry interrupted you and you immediately covered your ears with your hands. 

Is that her?

You saw a figure on the ice and squinted your eyes to see clearer. Long black hair, so long it spread on the floor. 

She's walking... to...

Your eyes followed the direction she was facing and gasped. She came up from the water where you emerged and she was walking to a pile of something. But, you knew they were humans because of the way she dragged it off the pile and into the water. 

You felt a moment of warmth when a body sank into the water and touched your chest, feeling confused. 

Then, you heard someone yelling. One of the bodies was running off.

"Where is this place? What did you do to my friends? No! I'm too young to die! Mom! Someone! No! Mom, help-" 

He didn't run far and fainted on his own. The lady of the lake walked to him and dragged his body into the water. You felt warm again and you felt disgusted. 

What kind of connection do I have with those people? They're dying and why do I feel warm? Whatever it is, I don't want it. 

You thought and was suddenly pulled up by someone. Your mouth was covered by a hand. 

"Be quite and don't move." 

You recognized Taehyung's voice and calmed down. But, then you panicked when you were lifted into the air. You shut your eyes and grabbed onto his arms for support. 

He told you to stop moving or trying to talk a few times, but you didn't listen because you opened your eyes once and saw how high above the mountains you were. So he yelled at you, his hand still covering your mouth. 

"Stop or I will drop you!" 

You stopped trying to talk and grabbed tightly onto his arm that was hugging your stomach because it was the only support your could get.

This is worse than the flying roller coaster that I've been on! 

You felt the wind constantly blowing into you indicating how fast you going and dared not to open your eyes. 

Taehyung put you on his bed and you didn't even realized that you were back in his bedroom. Your heart was beating out of your chest and that was the only thing you heard or felt.

After a few minutes, you finally noticed that the wind wasn't blowing anymore and that you were lying on a soft surface. Your heart wasn't beating as fast and you realized that Taehyung was lying behind you with his arm still hugging you from the back.  

You let go of his arm and moved away from him.

"Are you sleeping?" You asked, but he didn't wake up.

Is it like last time? I don't have to worry?

You thought and got up, making him rolled forward, lying face down on the bed. The back of his shirt was ripped and drenched in black ink. A trail of tar like liquid was splattered on the floor from the bed to the balcony. The sliding glass door were all broken.

"Tae, are you okay? Tae, wake up!" You called him while flipping him to lie on his back and he woke up, looking into your eyes.

You saw a white ceiling and blinked your eyes.

White room?

You tilted your head and looked around the room. You were in a white patient uniform, sitting on a white hospital bed, in a white room with a large mirror on the wall.

I'm tied again.

You looked a white rope that was tied to your left ankle.
