The Monsters In My Head {An x-exo thriller}

The Other Side

I swallowed hard. I didnt want to do it. The chanting stopped and I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Sūhø. He jerked his head toward the mirror. "Get in" he ordered. I looked at him, scared. His eyes became terrifyingly dark as he grabbed my shoulders painfully hard. Bäėkhyūn reached out to me as if to catch me. Whatever he was doing, it was too late. I felt the crunch of the cracked mirror glass under my feet and I was falling. I tried to scream but no sound would leave my lips. I found myself in a pitch black void, looking up to see their faces getting further and further away from me. Or was I getting further and further away from them?

I looked down, still falling. But was I really falling or was I just floating? It was hard to tell. That was until I was caught by strong arms. I looked at who caught me and couldn't believe it. It was Bäėkhyūn but he looked different. I, still traumatised, squirmed until he was forced to put me down. "D-dont touch me," I said, moving as far back as I could. I was no longer tied somehow. I looked around. It looked the same as the old abandoned house but it was new. It was refurbished. "W-where am I?" I asked. The one that looked like Chänyėøl came closer to me. He had a knife in his hand. I whimpered and flinched away from him. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. Im just going to cut the ropes." He said.

I looked into his eyes to try and figure out what he had planned. His big eyes seemed trustworthy enough and I nodded. He slowly came closer and cut the ropes carefully. "Why did they send her here. This is not what they told us they would do." One of the others said. They seemed nice for some reason. "I'm sure that you are confused right now." The one that looked exactly like Sūhø said to me. I looked at them all, frightened. Why did they change all of a sudden?

"Are you okay?" Xïūmïn's look alike asked me. I looked at them confused. "Did they hurt you?" Kāï asked in a gentle voice. "They? You mean you?" I asked. "So they didnt explain. Come with us. You must be hungry." Sūhø said again. My stomach growled on cue and some of them chuckled. "How would I know that you didnt poison the food?" I asked, glancing at them skeptically. "We and them are not the same people. We might look the same but we arent." Chėn replied. I looked at him and then there was a hand extending itself to me. It belonged to the different Bäėkhyūn. I looked up at him. He seemed gentle and there was a playful glint in his pretty eyes unlike the murderous glint I usually saw in the same ones. As I took his hand, I felt something ignite between us and he must have felt it too.

I took my hand away as soon as I got up. I also avoided looking at his eyes, but that was for all 9 men. I was lead to the kitchen where I could see the street from the window. It looked dark. Really dark. Was it night time?
