When I opened my eyes, the beautiful sight of Jimin's angelic face welcomed me and a sense of solace flooded my system. I was so glad that I was safe and back in his arms. Tears rolled down my eyes drop by drop as I held his hand and leaned my face against it.

"You scared me to death" he let out a sigh of relief and embraced me in his comforting arms. His fragrance was like incense to me that brought consolation and comfort to my life. As he rubbed my back, repeatedly kissing my forehead, I  managed to calm down a little.

"What happened to you? your friend said a lady staff found you lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. Did you drink a lot?" He inquired me with concern filled eyes.

"Bathroom...blood...mirror shattered" the big lump on my throat prevented me from explaining things to him.

Jimin let go of me and massaged his forehead as if he was trying to soothe his headache studying my face with a conflicted expression. I knew he must be thinking I had another of my episodes again.

"Are you taking your medicine regularly?" he voiced out his thought and I suddenly got offended.

I had never been careless with my medication. Even though there was nothing left in my life, I wanted to make the best out of it, I was determined not to throw my life away because countless lives were lost to keep me breathing.

I felt like I was being accused of a serious crime. When my face morphed into a displeased one Jimin quickly amended his words.

"I mean maybe sometimes you might have forgotten or missed to take it" He suggested as I glared at him with teary eyes.

"I am not getting Mad, Jimin" I pressed the word mad as my lips trembled, trying to contain my anger.

"Something is happening around me, something unexplainable. I really tried reasoning with logic but this is beyond that. There was blood coming out of the tap and I heard his voice loud and clear" I explained in a stern voice.

"He is back Jimin" when I finally said those words I broke down with ferocity.

My voice was no longer stern and I was losing my energy every passing second. Even mentioning his name made dread lurch on my stomach and caused my heart to ache in agony.

"His voice! His deep voice is still ringing in my ears, it's still hunting me. This time he will succeed in what he couldn't before" Jimin was eyeing me with a mixture of emotions. Pity, despair, and helplessness, his eyes had gone red trying to force his tears away but his compassion was not what I needed today.

I needed him to believe in my words

Silently pulling my weeping form back into his arms he tried his best to soothe me down. Every core of my body was quivering in fear. I know he didn't trust my words because even though I was having a hard time accepting my conclusions but I could no longer ignore the things that were happening around me.

"He is dead, Tiara. We saw him getting buried. He can't hurt you anymore" he murmured the fact I was already aware of but did the death really stop him from getting me. 

Am I really beyond his reach now?

His final words rang in my ears like a striking bell, hurting my eardrums and reminding me of the vow he took before I abandoned him between the blazing fire.

Even death cant keep you away from my reach,

TIA!!!
