Hide and Seek

You were mine to begin with-Ch19

Eunwoo unleashes a black mist that makes everyone cover their mouths. Yasmin struggles to fight against it, as his eyes glow red and the mist wraps itself around her entire body. It begins to constrict her and she let's out a scream, as she feels her eyes growing heavier.  She can hear Damien calling out desperately to her, telling her to stay awake and not give in.  She feels Eunwoo coming closer, his hands sliding to her waist.  A chilling chuckle rings throughout her ears, as she blinks and looks up to him holding her body.  He stares at her as if he's holding a prized possession he doesn't want to part with.  She struggles as the black mist binds her body to him.  He gently removes a strand of her hair from her fair and the moment he touches her, she flinches and recoils in shock.  "You're the last person I would ever hurt Yas, I care about you so much...It was always Damien...Even after I killed him, you always thought about him...Did I ever come into your mind at least???"-Eunwoo.  "E-Eunwoo...I can't answer that.  Everything I felt until now it's all been fake...I never had true feelings because you never gave me a chance.  You bewitched me. I was your puppet and you forced these feelings in me"-Yasmin.  "Not once you ever cared for me? At all?"-Eunwoo.  "I'm sorry Eunwoo...had our circumstances been different we might've fallen in love and did everything you dreamed of.  I'm ending your dream right here.  Even if Damien is no longer with me, I have to move on"-Yasmin.  "I won't let you go...you were always mine to begin with"-Eunwoo.  "I'm not your property Eunwoo! Stop this...Just let me go now..."-Yasmin. 

His eyes glow amber and he stares directly into hers.  Her body begins to harden, her heart steadily slowing down and a single tear spills from her face as Eunwoo finishes turning her into stone.  Damien screams at Eunwoo and Lily who is silently watching from afar, swoops down and hits Eunwoo square in the chest and he loses his consciousness briefly.  She turns her attention to Damien and the others who are at a loss for words.  Lily looks at the statue that was once their friend and speaks up.  "There is a way to turn her back...However it'll cause time to move quicker and you won't be able to find your friends in time...if that happens they'll be trapped forever and possibly die"-Lily.  "I want her back Lil....You know how I feel about her"-Damien.  "Me and Jae, Linda will go find the others....Damien you stay here with Yasmin and keep an eye on Eunwoo"-Raima.  Lily draws a staff in the air and it appears.  The entire place begins to rumble and the rest know that's the signal before they're all trapped in time.  She begins chanting a spell and Damien offers his support, knowing after this he will never see Yasmin again.  He smiles as his face becomes streaked with tears.  He continues to assist Lily who is crying as well.

The others go rushing off as every single door is being unlocked in the house.  They check each one and eventually come to a room, where it seems warped.  They hesitantly step through it and they can't believe their eyes when the others who look they're barely hanging on, are suddenly full of life when the girls make their way to them.  "Omg you guys are okay!"-Jae.  "Yeah...let's get out of here please"-Aya. 
They all rush into a group hug and Linda breaks it off first, as more tremors begin to happen.  They rush out of the room and see the door has been shattered.  They make it back to the other room in barely one piece.  Linda notices Baekho sneaking up on Lily with a syringe and shouts out.  Damien with one hand sends Baekho flying across the room.  "I can't let you do that Damien...If you do this.  My parents research, everything me and my brother worked on...it will fade to dust and what will be left for us?!"-Baekho. "Baekho you have Linda...let go of this.  Eunwoo and you need to go pay for your crimes.  You and him killed so many innocent children for the sake of research.  Your parents brainwashed ours into working for you"-Damien.  "Yasmin is the final piece to bringing my parents back....I must extract Lucifer from her at all costs!!"-Baekho.  "Haven't you thought about it properly? If you do...you may kill her.  Your brother won't be okay with that"-Damien. "Eunwoo wants our parents back more than anything and with the power of the undead...we could easily bring her back"-Baekho.  "I won't let you harm her..."-Damien.  "I'm sorry Damien...this is it then"-Baekho.  "Baek! Please stop fighting... your parents brought on destruction from their research.  You and Eunwoo were made into killers from a young age and you've had the chance to escape this.  Lets all go about living a new life.  Atone for your sins...then we can be together"-Linda.  "You want me to go prison and then be with you? Do you know how long I'd have to wait to see you again?"-Baekho.  "I know...But you can do this...please just end this"-Linda. 

Damien and Lily finally succeed with turning Yasmin back from stone.  She moves her body and Damien sweeps her into a hug before looking away with regret.  "We'll teleport you all outside...the police will come soon and question you.  You'll have no recollection of me and any of your memories"-Damien.  "No don't make me forget you...I'll keep my memories and get through this"-Yasmin.  "There's one last thing....We must transfer the vessel onto someone...If you keep Lucifer inside of you, he may eventually take you over"-Damien.  "Who do you have mind?"-Yasmin.  "I'll let you decide...it can be me or someone else"-Damien.
