Twilight | Oneus

Chapter 10

"Darling! Are you alright? You seem to have lost your conciousness in that bathroom. Are you fine again?" Seoho's soft voice buzzed close to my ear. What had happened? Why was I in another room? A room with nothing in it but a divan. How did I get up here? Was it Seoho that took me to this room? I looked into his eyes, they were gleaming in a blood red, pulling me closer to him like magnets. Hypnotizing me, and making my head cloudy. All I could remember was that I had breakfast. Everything that happened afterwards, left my mind completely blank.

"Seoho! What happened?" Seoho had a worried look on his face as he ran his soft long fingers throgh my hair. "You fainted darling! I was so worried, but now you are back. I love you my dear!" Seoho's soft voice spoke. He was such a gentleman. He was always so sweet. So nice to me. I was crazy for his scent. I was crazy for all of him. His fingers tangled up with mine and he shifted closer. "Should I show you something?" He asked smoothly, gazing into my eyes. " Sure, what kind of thing?" I answered. " A secret place, a beautiful world."

He exclaimed as he got up. "A world where the mind can go on a journey." He walked out the door with chin high up and walked after him. "I am hoping to show you my secret world." We walked through the dark corridor as the statues casted shadow onto the squeaking wooden floor. The floor so many people had walked on. The floor that had been there for centuries. How come Seoho and the other young men were so well preserved? They said they were a hundred years old. When Seoho opened a large door I looked inside and my mouth fell open.

Bookshelves higher than I had ever seen before, stacked with millions of bools. The smell I was greeted by was old and muffy, kind of how old paper smells like. Seoho had already walked further into the room. "Are- these all your books?" I asked with surprise sizzling among my words. "Yes, you are right my darling, I have been collecting these books for over a hundred years. If you want I can show you around and you  an pick a book to read as well." "Oh I would love to." I nodded and followed him through the book stacked room.

I could see millions of books, history books, love novels, thrillers, all stories his world seemed to feature. When Seoho had stopped I looked towards the shelf he was facing. "Look my darling these are my favourite books, poetry collection. I am very proud of this collection." I nodded and looked at hundreds of books stacked up before my eyes. "You can look around now, chose whatever book you'd like." I nodded and strolled further through the corridors. I stopped at the section romance novels and read the titles on the back of the books.

Loved deceased, Never leave you, together, were some of the titles. When I looked at the books further I noticed one book that had a sheet poke out of it. The title said twilight. The story of the endless forest. I decided to open it and read the part where the reading mark was inside. 

Chapter 13

She knows I'm here, She knows Shes mine

yes she can't be bothered to flee

I make her feel like she's in heaven

I tell her how beautiful she is

I read some poems to her

I make her weak

when the twelfth moon strikes

I will stop my game and drink her like i have craved for all this time.

No love could stop me from drinking her blood.

No one could stop me.

And when the next decade passes, I will replay my game.

Lee Seoho 13.6.1988

I gulped at what I had just read. I browsed through the pages nervously and looked at the cover. It all said lee Seoho. He was the obvious author. I started breathing faster. I was so scared that these things he wrote about were true. What if I wasn't the only one here. What if he had done this to hundreds of girls before me? Oh no! It had struck me. How would this happen.? He would murder me. He would drink all of my blood up until there was none of it left. I have to flee! I have to ask Youngjo to help me out. "Darling" Seoho said as he seemed to be looking for me.

I quickly put the book back in any place and grabbed another one. "Ah here you are." He said content as he walked toward me. "Have you found a book you would like to read?" "Yes I found one!" I answered and showed it to him.  "Oh! I know this one it's good! It's about a prince and a princess." He suddenly shifted closer to me. It's about a princess like you, and a prince like me, who have fallen in love. They get married soon. You're so beautiful." He said as he stared into my eyes.

His eyes were glowing in this deep burgundy color again. The color that had hypnotized me so often before. It seemed to suck me in and make my vision cloudy. I felt as he shifted his head closer to mine and pressed his moist lips onto mine. His lips engulfed mine as I could taste the sweetness on him. He tasted like a spring day, a blooming flower field. His hand gripped my torso and he pulled me closer to him. Hi skin was cold against mine. Suddenly he froze. Oh no  had he seen the book? Had he seen the paper in it too? "Darling , you can leave already I will be back soon."

He said as he looked towards the bookshelf where I had put the twilight book. "Alright." I answered and walked out, before he could aske me if  I had read it. I was scared he was going to go crazy if he found out about what I saw.
