The Devil Himself -FF-

Chapter 18 - Darkest Hour (The Clock)

'Hello?'

I was wandering around the mansion. I felt scared and started to regret my decision that I even entered this hell hole. I also had a strange feeling that I wasn't alone but that wasn't the only problem in here.

Flies were flying around. The smell of rotting flesh made me feel nauseous. Everything around me was filthy, broken or started to decay. Every room I walked passed by looked scary and gross. I just wanted to get out of here.

I searched for a door to get out. I still heard San yelling. He was trying to get in but with every attempt, he couldn't even scratch the surface.

I ran towards the sound of his voice and when I reached a broken backdoor , I banged on it to get his attention. He heard me and ran towards the door.

'San! OMG! Get me out of here!' I was relieved to see his smile behind the cracks of the door. I kept looking at the door to see if I could break it by myself, but I was too scared to even think straight. It looked almost impossible to get out.

'Hold on, babe. Let me get you out of there. Step back!' He said and stretched out his arm. A dark energy ball was formed in his hand. But he stopped his attack when he noticed something- or someone behind me.

'Y/N! Behind you! RUN!' San decided to break the door with his bare hands. He called the other guys over to help him and everyone tried to tear the door down. The door was made from wood, but for some reason they had a hard time tearing the door down.

As I stepped back, something got a hold of me. It looked like a black shadow and I couldn't break free.

'SAN! HELP!' I screamed as I was trying to break free.

'San! Move!' Hongjoong ordered. San looked back and saw that Hongjoong was set to fire a huge energy blast. San managed to dodge it in time or else he would get hit by the blast. The door exploded and the guys ran into the mansion.

The shadow was still holding me and was standing face to face with the guys. The shadow started to speak:

'When the hands strike midnight. it will start.
The darkest hour of the clock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
When lonely shadows hunt her down.
Her time has come, there's no way out.'

The shadow talked with a deep dissembodied voice and suddenly dropped me onto the floor and vanished. I was catching my breath as San quickly ran towards me. Pulling my arm to get up and to drag me out of the mansion.

I was still in pain after the kidnapping. I felt myself getting weaker with every second that passed.

We ran towards the gate. The strength in my legs left me and I collapsed. My heart started to pound fast as San pulled on my arm to get me up.

'San. I can't get up.' I panicked as I held on to him. I started to breath heavily and my vision blurred in between. My energy level was too low and I was on the edge of passing out.
