Us and Them

CH-10: The Encounter

As the dust clears up, they see a girl in a school uniform standing infront of them.

She was staring at them. She looked scared seeing two unfamiliar faces infront of her.

Yoongi and Taehyung stared back. They looked at each other and nodded. They realized that the ghost they were searching for was none other than the girl standing in front of them.

The girl had dark brown and long wavy hair. She had a wound on the left side of her forehead. She was wearing a winter uniform. There were blood stains on the left side of her blazer.

Yoongi decided to speak with the ghost.

Yoongi:*cautiously* Miss, there's no need to be afraid of us. We are here to help you.

???: You. . . can see me?

Yoongi: Yes. . . we can.

???:*suspicious* Who are you?

The girl glares at Yoongi and Taehyung. Seeing the girl tensed up, Taehyung decided to try talking to her in a light manner.

Taehyung: Don't worry, Miss! We mean no harm. And we are—*ARCHIII*

No sooner than before he could finish what he was saying, some dust that fell on him when he was being Yoongi's shield, itches Taehyung's nose and he lets out the biggest sneeze which echoed across the attic. The sneeze startles Yoongi and he looks at Taehyung, desperately.
At this moment Taehyung knew. . . . . . . . he f*cked up!

The sneeze scares the ghost out of her wits and she goes into self-defence mode.

???: STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!

The girl yells and throws chairs at them in self-defence. Yoongi barely dodges the chairs and pushes Taehyung to the side in attempt to protect him.

Taehyung:*scared to wits* Woah! Miss, Calm down! We didn't do anything. We're just here to help you!

The girl didn't want to hear it. All she knew is that she was in danger and needed to protect herself.
In the closed and dark attic, her blue eyes glowed, giving the room a tension for the upcoming event.

She raises four chairs up, ready to be thrown at them.

 Taehyung: OH SHIT!!!

Yoongi: RUN!!!

Both of them crawled as quickly as possible towards the trapdoor. Yoongi lifted the trapdoor and slid down the stairs.

As Taehyung starts to go down the stairs, he felt a strong emotion in the air. Taehyung then pinpoints that these emotions were coming from none other than her; the ghost herself.

He sensed an emotion of despair and loneliness coming from her. The feeling of emptiness and lingering all alone in the house for a long time filled inside of him. It felt sad and heartbreaking for him. Taehyung just couldn't bring himself to leave her like that, in her world of hopelessness and despair.
He decides to try talking to her one last time hoping to try and ease her pain.

Taehyung looks at her, determined and takes a deep breath.

Taehyung: Miss, I know it must've been hard on you in all these years, but—

Before Taehyung could complete what he was saying, he saw the chairs coming straight at him.
He ducked in a flash and slammed the trapdoor after him. The chairs went crashing onto the wall of the attic.

Yoongi was waiting for Taehyung at the bottom of the stairs.

Yoongi: What were you doing, you idiot! We need to get out of here.
