scream (dreamcatcher)

"Damn it Gahyeon, why do you have to be so heavy?" Siyeon groaned, carrying Gahyeon's lifeless body on her back. "I have to walk like this for a hour, I can't teleport with you!" Siyeon sulked to no one in particular. Her eyes lit up suddenly. "Crescere fortius." Siyeon muttered. Almost Immediately, her hands glowed with a purple light and Gahyeon's body didn't feel as awkward on her back and she could carry her with ease.

Siyeon paused in an abandoned lane in the outskirts of the central city and slowly placed Gahyeon on the floor. Dark blood, almost black (or was it black?) was dripping from Gahyeon's stomach and seeping into the white handkerchief that Siyeon attempted to use to stop the blood flow from the open wound, and to help Gahyeon stay alive until Siyeonwas able to heal her. Now was the chance, so she cautiously placed Gahyeon's body straight in front of her. She sprinkled some type of salt of the wound and Gahyeon twitched slightly. Siyeon wrung the handkerchief until a few drops of blood fell on her finger and smeared the blood onto a leaf she had found on the grassy edge of the lane. She cupped the wet leaf in her pale hands and whispered something inaudible. Siyeon tilted the leaf so the blood dripped back into Gahyeon's stomach wound and slowly but surely, the blood seemed to seep back into Gahyeon's body and the wound was nothing more than a white scar. The bloody clothes remained, though, and Siyeon decided she would wait until they were at Gahyeon's flat to tend to that. Siyeon startled suddenly as Gahyeon's body convulsed and moved as if a jolt of electricity passed through her. Gahyeon's eyes shot open for a second, and Siyeon's breath hitched in her throat in hope that she might have woken up, but she passed out again almost immediately. Siyeon breathed out harshly and picked Gahyeon up again. The orange late afternoon sun shone in Siyeon's eyes, making it difficult to see and white spots danced in her vision.

She had been walking for around ten minutes when she heard moaning coming from her back. She turned her head and saw a half conscious Gahyeon staring at her with sleepy eyes. Siyeon squealed with glee and slowly lowered Gahyeon from her back onto the grass in the field they were in. "I'm Siyeon. You know, I took the ball from you." Siyeon informed Gahyeon. Gahyeon's eyes widened slightly and she opened her mouth, about to say something- and then she threw up everywhere. Gahyeon lifted a pale hand to her mouth and wiped it. Siyeon was thankfully not vomited on, and she looked at Gahyeon slightly reproachfully. Gahyeon noticed this and mouthed a word- Sorry. Siyeon shook her head. "No, it's okay. I mean, you did have alcohol before. I'm going to find a taxi for you, seeing you're awake." She brought out her mobile and tapped on the screen. A few minutes later, Gahyeon could see a taxi stopped at the end of the field. She looked at Siyeon and replied shakily, "Um, thanks." Siyeon just shrugged, unfazed. "No problem. If i didn't get a cab, it would be work for me as well. Make sure that monster doesn't threaten you again." Siyeon warned. Gahyeon nodded.

Ah, Gahyeon, you see, it's too late for that. I am a part of you, remember?

A voice purred in her head. She shook her head and walked towards the taxi, while Siyeon promptly disappeared in a flash of purple light.

"Siyeon!" a voice called. "What took you so long?! It's been a hour, if not more." Siyeon slipped off her boots and saw Sua, Handong and Gahyeon's friends sitting in the living room. One girl, who Siyeon recognised as Yubin, was handcuffed, sitting in the middle of the room and sending death glares to everyone. The other ghost, who Siyeon didn't know the name of, was sitting next to a trembling girl. "So! I don't know if you guys have already met, but Siyeon, this is Yubin, Yoohyeon and Minji. Guys, this is Siyeon." Minji and Yoohyeon looked at Siyeon shyly and waved. "Where's Ga-Gahyeon?" Yubin quietly asked, her black eyes burning with some sort of hate. "Gahyeon is coming. I called a taxi to drop her off, she'll be here in 10 minutes." Siyeon explained. Yubin tried to get up but fell back onto the floor, passing into the floor slightly. "Why did you restrain me in these damn handcuffs anyway?" she asked, annoyed. Handong was about to speak, but Sua cut her off harshly. "So you don't do any funny business to Gahyeon." Yubin rolled her eyes. "Okay, jeez. If anything, you should be handcuffing Gahyeon. I have a feeling somethings up with her. Keep an eye on Gahyeon."

Gahyeon sat in the run down taxi silently, trying to block out the unimaginable thoughts that invaded her mind every few minutes.

Kill him. Kill the driver.

Murder him.

I know you can do it, Gahyeon.

Kill him.

Do it.

Gahyeon screamed suddenly and the driver immediately whipped his head around. "Everything okay back there, madam?" Gahyeon panted heavily and replied as politely as possible, "Yeah, everything is fine. Thank you for asking." The driver nodded and turned back to the wheel.

Like that, Gahyeon. Get his attention. Then kill him.

"Shut up," Gahyeon growled to herself. "No. I'm not going to shut up until you kill him." Words that weren't entirely Gahyeon's slipped out of her mouth in a mutter. The car halted at a red signal light and the driver turned to face Gahyeon. He was quite young and good looking. "Uh, madam, we are almost at your destination. If you wanna just—." He wasn't able to say anything more, as Gahyeon leapt forward and held his neck in a chokehold. Her eyes gleamed golden and shined with satisfaction, and she brought out a knife from her pocket, stained with fresh blood, that definitely wasn't there before. She held the knife like a toy, dangling dangerously over the driver's head. Her sweet smile dripped with insanity and joy, and her glowing eyes were cold and held no emotion. She felt the body of the driver slump, meaning he had collapsed, and used the knife to draw a long red line on his neck, which bubbled with thick crimson liquid. She held his dripping neck one last time and grabbed his identity card. "Hongbin, huh? Well, I don't care. You're dead now." Gahyeon mused. She jumped out of the car and ran to her flat.

Siyeon heard a shrill shriek echo from the stairs of the girls' flat. "Hey, that sounds like Gahyeon. You want me to check?" Yoohyeon asked, her forehead creasing with worry. She walked through the door and Siyeon could hear a scream and muffled voices. All the girls, except from Yubin, stood around the door and listened. Yoohyeon's arm suddenly appeared through the door and Minji yelped. "Wait, I'm coming," Yoohyeon said. The door clicked open and Gahyeon stood there, with an absolutely terrified expression on her face and hands dripping with blood. Siyeon heard a voice come from the corner of the room. "Told you that you should keep an eye on her." Yubin said dully.
