At the man's words, the once still knights started moving on its own accord, almost as if they have actually came to live. Neither of the girls said anything, both knowing what to do: run; and that was exactly what they did, literally biting down the hallway, not caring if they were not on the right path back.

Ayano huffed, her side burning while she ran, definitely from the lack of exercise. Yeona noticed her faltering and quickly hooked her arm with Ayano's, forcing her to be pulled along. No matter how fast they ran it always seemed like the gap between the possessed knights and them did not widen at all, in fact they were getting closer after every second.

"What kind of sorcery is this?" Yeona yelled exasperatedly, obviously not expecting anyone to answer. "Yeona, leave me alone, it's me whom they want." Ayano said softly, after all she doesn't want the maknae to get hurt or killed even in the process of trying to defend her. Yeona shook her head despite Ayano's pleas, instead pushing herself to run faster, forcing Ayano to match her pace. "I have lost enough of my friends, I'm not going to lose you too." Yeona said, her arm still interlocked with Ayano's, now mostly to make sure she doesn't end up running towards the knights to sacrifice herself.

"You stubborn child." Ayano muttered but still followed her anyways

Chanmi and Sooyoung were talking but then were interrupted when they heard a stampede going on outside. "Why are there people stomping down the hallway?" Sooyoung complained, pouting slightly as she was getting a tad bit annoyed by the interruption.

"Erm Sooyoung, the only people here other than us is Ayano, Yeona and the psycho." Chanmi reminded, having a hunch that the mentioned two indeed were in trouble. Sooyoung stayed silent, probably just trying to figure out what to do. She went to the door and opened it, looking to the direction where she swore she heard the footsteps were going to, her jaw falling wide open with shock when she caught the silhouette of some random knights running down the hallway. Chanmi slotted herself behind Sooyoung a second after, she too became shocked when she witnessed the knights. "The heck, I didn't know they had those." Chanmi randomly commented, her eyes still following the now giant silhouette of the knights. "I say we go after them." Sooyoung suggested, after all she knows that Chanmi would feel very unsettled just by knowing that Yeona and Ayano might be in danger. Soon they quickly ran after the knights.

"Yeona, please, let go. It's me that they want." Ayano begged, slowing down now. "No! We...must...try to...lose them!" Yeona shouted back in reply in between pants, she too was also slowing down now because of the lack of stamina. The knights were slowly closing in on them, making Yeona go faster out of panic. Ayano wrenched her arm away from hers, making Yeona stop and turn back to send her a worried glance. "Please, save yourself, Yeonie." Ayano said softly, her lips curling into a sad frown. "Ayano..." Yeona said, trailing off as her eyes started welling up with tears. Because of the direction she was standing, she could visibly see the blurred figures of the knights marching towards them. Without any other words, Yeona threw her arms around Ayano, taking the older girl by surprise and hugged her really tightly. "I'm sorry." She whispered, before quickly letting go of her. What she did next what completely unexpected, she ran towards the knights.

"Yeona! No!" Ayano yelled, her hand trying to reach for Yeona's arm to try pull her back but failed to do so. Yeona dived into the crowd of knights, as what they previously expected, they didn't seem to bother about her, in fact they let her pass. Looks like they were only focusing on getting Ayano then.

Not once did Yeona hesitated to look back, even when she heard Ayano's screams of pain as tears freely streamed down her cheeks. She hiccuped a few times, choking back sobs as she hastily tried wiping away her tears as she ran, just anywhere away from the scene. "I'm sorry." She whispered again under her breath, knowing that Ayano would not hear it unless the thing about the dead hearing and knowing everything is true which she now certainly hope is.

"It's all my fault."
