Journey:Book two

4

I forgot to mention,this one and the previous chapter are in the Wonderland era.

Seonghwa POV

I fell deeper and deeper into despair as I backed out of the shrinking tunnel and to the starting point.Every single try I had done to get out of there ended in the being squeezed between hard cement,panicking and getting out of there.

I sat down,all hope lost.But then,something appeared again in my chest.The thing that was making me try all these times was telling me to do it again.After a few minutes of debating over it,I sighed and cautiously crawled towards one of the ends of the tunnel.It was beginning to shrink again.

''No Seonghwa back out!''

No don't!

I continued ahead.I was now on my elbows,struggling to bring myself further.

''Back out back out back out!''

Don't don't don't!

I was about to cry as it got harder and harder to move.

''BACK OUT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IN HERE!''

NO YOU'RE NOT!REMEMBER WHO YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR!

I gritted my teeth,tears falling down my cheeks,and continued further.I almost couldn't budge anymore,I was being squished.I almost couldn't  breathe.

COME ON ONLY A LITTLE MORE!

I cried a yell out and pushed one final time.I felt myself fall down on a hard surface.I wasn't squished anymore.I could breathe freely.

I opened my eyes and looked around.The tunnel was behind me.I was laying on a floor,alone.I couldn't hear anything besides my deafening heartbeat and my own rapid breathing.I stood up,my whole body shaking,heart pounding against my chest.I took a few deep breaths,trying to calm myself.Once I was somewhat fine,I noticed something ahead of me.It was an elevator.I went up to it.I gulped and pressed the button.It glowed in a soft yellow light.Soon,a ding came from it and the door opened.I stepped inside,nervous as hell,and pressed the button for the floor above mine.The door closed and I felt the elevator moving upwards.

The doors opened after a bit.As scared as I could be,I popped my head outside and looked around.When I saw there was no one there,I stepped out of the elevator.I was on a metal platform that was going along the walls of a really big room.I went up to the railing and glanced down at the floor of the room.in the middle was what looked like a cage from my point of view and it was surrounded by weird lights.Near me were stairs that allowed me to go closer to it.My jaw dropped a bit as I saw there was a person laying inside.It wasn't a full-on cage,because there was an opening big enough for him to craw out.But,he looked as if he was unconscious.As I took a few more cautious steps closer,I finally recognized him.My heart stopped.

''Yeo-yeosang!''

I walked over to him and glanced around his enclosure for any traps.When I found nothing out of the ordinary,I went up to him until he was in arms reach.

Yeosang POV

I watched,tears streaming down my face,as Wooyoung's body hit the ground with a sickening thud.

''Make it stop....make it stop...''

Every time the dream repeated,it lasted and hurt more than the last.I cried,and cried,and cried.I had lost count of how many times this had repeated. Had tried to do everthing for Wooyoung to not cross the road,to not go after the damn ball.But to no avail.He always ended up being hit.I had seen it from 30 centimeters away and held his body until the repeat.
