Hide and Seek

We cannot go back-Ch18

Damien holds Yasmin close to his body.  His tall figure looming over, as she clutches onto him, hands trembling and the visible anger and fear displayed on her face.  She looks up into Damien's eyes and sees him tearing up, as he presses a soft yet passionate kiss to her head.  "The cold demeanor...everything you did, you were trying to wake me up.  To see the truth and I...Let him do this"-Yasmin.  "I'm sorry my methods were harsh...But I really couldn't stand the idea of another man claiming my woman.  I had to do this...I couldn't let him be suspicious of my actions... I had to make him think I stopped caring for you entirely.  If he knew I'm still in love with you, I don't wanna know what he would do to us"-Damien.  "You've been holding this secret and pain for years and I was blinded...these false feelings he put in me...I've never felt so betrayed"-Yasmin.  "What are you gonna do now that you know the truth?"-Damien.  "I have to wake up first of all...Make him believe I'm still his and strike when the opportunity is right"-Yasmin.  "I don't like the idea but what else can we do...he's actually the one behind making your friends disappear.  I know it makes no sense cause he's always there with you.  Lily and I appear...but we don't always appear see that's just an illusion.  Every time you were made to believe it's us coming to take one of your friends, but your boyfriends a psychopath.  Your friends are on the brink of death but he doesn't care.  You're the first one to ever withstand the pain and responsibility of retaining Lucifer's soul inside of you"-Damien.  "Of course his parents research...Him and Baekho continued in it....That's all that matters to him.  To think all the memories and time we spent together were just a lie"-Yasmin. 

Damien wraps his arms around her and they fall back against the bed.  Their eyes becoming completely hazy and both fighting to stop the tears from falling.  Their lips smash into each other's, the intensity burying them both into the sheets.  They wrap their arms around each other, his tongue playfully flicking at hers and she lets him.  She moans against his touch, as his hands venture lower and lower.  They let the bliss take over their overwhelming emotions and becoming one as they begin to pant heavily.  He caresses her face and kisses her again, before rolling his body off on top of hers.  "God if I was alive, how I'd love to hear and feel that all over again"-Damien.  "...I just realised when this is all over...I've lost you forever"-Yasmin.  "No baby you haven't...there is a chance to save me, but I don't think it's right to let them succeed in bringing the dead back. It could have reverse effects and I might not be the man you love anymore"-Damien.  "I...I need to think about this carefully.  I need lucifer to wake me up"-Yasmin. 

Upon hearing his name, Lucifer is standing and watching the two of them who are both wrapped up in the sheets.  He chuckles with mirth before casting his gaze back to Yasmin.  He doesn't say another word and she feels her vision go hazy.  Her eyes wander in everlasting darkness, until she can hear screams all around her.  She awakes with a startle when she sees her friends worried faces and then a bunch of people barge into the lab, grabbing her friends as Eunwoo pulls Yasmin to his side.  She fights against his hold and he leans down to her peer into her eyes.  She feels hypnotised the moment their eyes meet and her vision becomes blurry but she fights it off.  He wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her close and inhaling her scent.  Something clicks inside of her mind, as she realises why he's acting like this.  "Did you think I wouldn't figure it out?"-Eunwoo.  "Y-you...Knew this entire time that Damien and I are"-Yasmin.  "Yes but you're mine...so stop thinking about that dead guy"-Eunwoo.  "Y-you killed him! You ruined my life and now you try to claim me?! We're done Eunwoo"-Yasmin.  "If you think breaking up...is easy then you're sadly mistaken.  I know we've never slept together...We should change that"-Eunwoo.  "I'm not sleeping with you!"-Yasmin.  "I know you feel betrayed...But I really do care about you a lot.  Forget about him and let's build that future we've been talking about"-Eunwoo.  "How can you easily talk about us...after taking everything away from me.  Are my friends safe?!"-Yasmin.  "...Are they safe? That's a good question... How about you see for yourself? Bro bring them out"-Eunwoo. 

She feels her heart crumbling and a pain that stabs her repeatedly, as she sees the friends that were taken in containers.  There are cuts and bruises all over their bodies and she screams, as Eunwoo laughs cruelly in her ears.  "Now if you want to save them, I think you'd better follow me"-Eunwoo. Baekho watches pitifully at Linda's crestfallen expression as she tries to tend to her sisters side.  Raima and Jae try to not show their fear, as they see Eunwoo's gaze fall on them and he clicks his fingers.  A bunch of henchmen are trying to separate the two apart and another lunges for Linda but Baekho grabs her first.  She glares at Baekho who looks away in guilt.  Jae and Raima cling onto each other, as the guards try to pull them apart.  "Okay that's enough fun...I bet you're curious as to how I knew about everything.  It's because of you being in dreamland with your precious Damien, I was able to steal Lucifer's powers.  Only a small portion but enough to read your mind and find out everything...So there is no need to fool each other anymore, now is there?"-Eunwoo.
