"Hey guys." Handong said that morning. "Heya Handong, what's up?" Handong showed them the note she found on her bedside. "Who wrote that?" Sua asked curiously. "Gahyeon's fr- Yoohyeon." Handong corrected.

Hey
Handong, Sua and Siyeon,
I wrote this because I need help. I'm worried about my friends. I have already informed Handong, but I'm not sure if she will still remember the dream. Anyway. My friend Yubin, who Gahyeon killed, wants revenge on Gahyeon. The thing is, I'm sure that it's not Gahyeon doing the actions. I have been watching her, and I feel as if she blacks out while still being conscious, as if she's possessed, or something. It might have something to do with that ball she found in the forest several days ago. Please could you help Gahyeon and Yubin, please, before anything else goes horribly wrong. My address (and Gahyeons and Yubin's) is this: 131 XX street, postcode 1312017

Please can you come as soon as possible?

Yours,
Kim Yoohyeon :)

Siyeon looked wordlessly at Handong, holding the ball she had taken from Gahyeon a few days prior. Sua fiddled with her hair and suddenly stood up. "Well, we better get going then, right? she broke the silence like a knife cutting through butter. Siyeon faltered. "Wait, I have the ball with me. Doesn't that mean Gahyeon needs no help now?" She asked. Sua replied, "That doesn't mean that Yubin or whatever, won't kill her." She unlocked the door to her room and said, "Don't come in, I'm changing. That includes you, Siyeon."  Siyeon pouted. "But—" She joked. They all went to their respective bedrooms to change and met up in the living room. Siyeon wore a flowery blouse and a black skirt, Sua wore a different, more comfortable black dress than before, and Handong wore a grey shirt and black jeans. Sua didn't bother to take her umbrella and they all disappeared in flashes of purple, white and blue.

Yoohyeon chewed her lip and stood outside one of the windows in the apartment. She hoped that Handong, Siyeon and Sua would come soon so she could properly explain what happened. They could help, right? Use their voodoo magic or whatever? Yoohyeon saw a small flash of light from the corner of her eye and heard a clatter of plates. "You came," Minji breathed. Yoohyeon spun around and saw the three witches in black clothes standing in front of her while Minji stood in the corner quietly. "Where is Yubin?" Handong asked. Yoohyeon shrugged. "I don't even know. Probably in her room or something. Maybe with Gahyeon." Sua opened the door to what remained of "Yubin's" room, to find Yubin, or who she thought was Yubin, judging from her charred clothes and translucent appearance. Yubin looked up and her face contorted. "Who are you?" she spat icily. Sua breathed deeply. "What is your name?" she said. Yubin's eyes never left Sua as she replied, "Yubin, but-" Yubin didn't finish her sentence as Sua curled her hand into a fist and Yubin's head jerked suddenly forward to rest on Sua's closed fist. Her eyes narrowed and she muttered through gritted teeth, "What's your problem? Did Gahyeon call you? That bitch..." Sua lifted her chin and smiled sweetly. "Actually it was Yoohyeon." Yubin's eyebrows knitted together and she spluttered, "Y-Yoohyeon? Her? She called you to hurt me?" "Not exactly..." Sua said. She took a pair of black handcuffs from her belt and pinned Yubin's hands to her back. She locked the handcuffs on Yubin as she tried desperately to teleport or evaporate somewhere else to get rid of the handcuffs, but it was to no avail and Yubin just flickered and struggled in the restraints.

"Huh. Yoohyeon, I thought you were my friend." Yubin growled. They were all, save Siyeon, sitting in a loose circle in the living room and Yubin sat in the middle of the circle, her hands pinned behind her back. Yoohyeon and Minji sat close to each other, and Yoohyeon looked a little bit scared. "No, I am your friend, Yubin, I was just worried for you. And Gahyeon, so I called for help. And being mean to you might just be the only way we can help you." Yoohyeon mumbled. "Siyeon's gone to get Gahyeon. She's somewhere drinking in the city and they'll both be here in a while." Yubin looked up warily. "Gahyeon..." she whispered, audible to no one but her. The word tasted bitter in her own mouth.

Gahyeon sat in the bar, her eyes dazed and her hair matted. She held the alcohol glass unsteadily with a slipping hand and rested her head on her free hand.

Hey, Gahyeon. She heard a voice whisper in her ear. She whipped around but saw no one behind her. Gahyeon. The voice repeated, slightly agitated. Look at me. Gahyeon followed the voice and saw a darkened figure in front of her. The figure was no other than.. Gahyeon herself. But this Gahyeon wore a smirk and carried a knife with dark red dried blood smeared on the blade. She had a leather jacket and muddied jeans on. "Who are you?" Gahyeon whispered hoarsely. I'm you. Other-Gahyeon clarified. Gahyeon noticed that the Gahyeon that stood in front of her had shining golden eyes that glowed even without a light source. It seemed too unnatural to be true. "Why are you here?" Gahyeon winced, suddenly sober. I've been waiting. Biding my time until I can finally take over. I have always been a part of you, Gahyeon, ever since you took the glass ball from the stand that day. The ball is gone, but I am not. I am going to be in control. I am going to kill you.

Gahyeon screamed, her eyes flickered golden for a second and the bartender looked at her in surprise. Other-Gahyeon walked slowly towards her, spinning the serrated knife in her hands. Gahyeon stared at her, blocking out the screams that seemed familiar somehow, coming from her side. Other-Gahyeon stood above Gahyeon, sneered and plunged the knife into her stomach. Gahyeon gasped and all the alcohol she had consumed flooded back to her. Her eyelids felt heavy and the last thing she felt was freezing cold hands gripping her arms and carrying her out.
