scream (dreamcatcher)

six

Gahyeon groaned and turned over in her sleep, only to feel Minji's cold hands shaking her awake. "Wake up." Minji said loudly. Gahyeon slowly lifted herself from the bed. Her fingers cramped almost immediately and she fell back onto the bed. Why were they hurting so much? The ball was sat right next to her head and Gahyeon wondered why. She had definitely put the ball in her sling bag before she went to bed. But right then, she had to get ready for her lessons. She slipped on jeans and a plain black shirt. She grabbed the ball from her pillow and placed in her bag. Gahyeon walked out of the room and saw Minji making breakfast in the kitchen, Yubin playing games on her phone and someone else standing exactly opposite to Minji. Was that Yoohyeon? It definitely looked like Yoohyeon's smiling face. Gahyeon shook her head in disbelief, it couldn't be possible. Gahyeon blinked hard and the figure had gone. Ugh...Gahyeon scratched her head. Why was she having such weird hallucinations and dreams?

Sua woke up to see a excited Siyeon breathing on her face. "Ew! Siyeon you haven't brushed yet!" Siyeon giggled and stood up straight. "So, did you get the ball?" she asked. Sua shook her dead defeated. "It didn't work. She has fallen deeper than I thought. She strangled me when I tried to take the ball." Sua explained and touched her neck gingerly. It was aching a bit and she healed it quickly with a burst of blue smoke. The smile had now been erased from Siyeon's face and her personality changed like a switch. "We really need to do something." Sua said. Siyeon shook her head violently. "Tell me one thing humans have EVER done for us! We keep trying to help them, but what have they done in return? Let them die." She spat. Sua stared open mouthed at Siyeon. "What's gotten into you?" Siyeon sighed and her expression softened slightly. "Sorry. I just have tried so many times to help them, but they always mess everything up. I've given up at this point. I just don't want to help humans."

Handong knocked on the door and asked softly, "Unnie! Can I come in?" Sua called out loudly that she could and the door quietly unlocked. Handong sat on the bed and had a clearly distressed expression on her face. "What happened, Dongie?" Siyeon questioned. Handong replied, "I had a bad dream." Handong didn't think much of the dream when she slept, but when she woke up it dawned on her that Gahyeon's friend was probably there to haunt her as a ghost. She was not supposed to be scared of anything, she could just magic everything to be good again. Or could she? Her magic had limits, definitely. She was brought back to reality as she heard Siyeon asking, "What was the dream about?" Handong said, "Just dreamt of ghosts." Sua looked up interested. "Be careful Handong, this might be because a ghost is trying to haunt you. Don't give in to whatever they say. Ghosts are terrible creatures." No shit sherlock, Handong muttered quietly under her breath. She wanted to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible.

Yoohyeon rolled her eyes. She was back at Sua, Siyeon and Handong's house, and they were talking about something so uninteresting until Handong appeared in the room. She talked about her bad dream (thankfully it was bad) and one of the other girls, probably Sua, was warning her about the "terrible ghosts". Ha! Terrible, her? Yoohyeon was sure she had been quite easy on Handong until then. Yoohyeon suddenly got a burst of energy and pushed Handong off the bed. She was sure Handong would fall over, but to Yoohyeon's surprise, Handong was levitating just above the ground in a flurry of pink smoke. So she could do that. This was going to make killing her so much harder. Handong climbed back on the bed and fixed an unmoving gaze right into Yoohyeon's eyes. Handong's eyes narrowed dangerously but Yoohyeon just laughed ominously. Whatever.

Yoohyeon was sitting on the floor half an hour later with her head resting on her hand. She wondered how she could suddenly have no mercy on anyone, especially because when she was still alive, she would've never hurt a fly. Was it death that changed her or was she always secretly a little evil? Nonetheless, Yoohyeon liked this new power she had and enjoyed teasing Handong. She had nothing to do, no expectations to hold so she could pretty much do as she pleased...and she loved it.

Gahyeon sat in her maths class, Yubin next to her as she stared forlornly into the row below, where Yoohyeon would always be sitting. The class was all looking at Gahyeon, and then she realised that she was picked on to answer a question. "Uhhhh...41.6?" she guessed. The Maths professor looked shocked. "That's actually correct." He informed. Yubin looked at Gahyeon, surprise evident on her face. Gahyeon was surprised herself. They both chuckled and got back to their work.

At lunchtime, Yubin sat on the bench on the school roof, probably the same place Yoohyeon was a few days ago. She opened her lunch and started eating it slowly. Gahyeon appeared at the door to the roof, with an expressionless face and a slumped posture. Yubin noticed and gestured for Gahyeon to come sit with her. Gahyeon shook her head. "Someone's calling for you in the bathroom." she said. Yubin raised an eyebrow suspiciously and got up from her seat. Gahyeon extended an arm to let her through and followed her into the closest bathroom.

Yubin had just gone into the bathroom. She was shouting, "Hello?" but there was silence. No one was there except for her and Gahyeon. She still stood behind her, her head slightly bent to one side, as if she was confused, but her expression remained unnaturally neutral. Yubin's skin prickled at the strange sight and she went into a stall to look for whoever called her. Yubin felt a hand shove her strongly into the stall and she stumbled onto the floor. There was a sweeping noise and Yubin knew she had been locked in. Gahyeon locked her in the stall? That was weird, not normally what Gahyeon would do. There was a faint clicking sound from outside that sounded suspiciously like a lighter. Yubin could spot a small flash in the corner of her eye and the next thing she knew, there was a lit lighter on the floor in Yubin's bathroom stall and there were small flames licking the bottom of the stall door. Yubin gasped in horror and tried desperately to escape from the stall, but it was all in vain. She slouched on the toilet hopelessly. Why would Gahyeon do this...? The flames were getting angrier and angrier by the minute, and soon Yubin was choked up by the fumes of smoke. Her eyes itched and she attempted hard to shield herself from the smoke and flames, but she fell onto the floor unconscious in just a couple of minutes.

Hi! Did anyone see rose blue? Sua in chains is just- 👌
