The Catacombs

Suddenly, we were no longer at home. We were in a damp, cold hallway. It was dark and reeked. I leaned my hand against the wall to steady myself, but immediately regretted it because once Jackson lit a torch, I saw that the walls were made of human skulls. 

I took a quick breath and held back a yell. Jimin must've sensed my uneasiness and held me closer to his side, letting out a low growl. As soon as I saw those skulls, I felt an overwhelming sadness hit me. 

"T-this....this is the Catacombs?" I ask, quietly. 

"Yup. Not exactly 'perfect' but I call it home." Jackson says, grinning. He begins to walk and Jimin and I follow, cautiously behind him. 

"So, Jimin's demon is here?" I ask, clutching onto Jimin's arm. 

Jackson lets out a chuckle. "Oh, no! His Demon is in Limbo. But to get there, we have to go through the Catacombs. Demons don't exist on this plain anyways. The Catacombs are for the humans that don't make it to Heaven or Hell and don't decide to stay on earth as spirits."

Tears begin to blur my view and out of nowhere, I begin sobbing heavily. My heart is drowning in sorrow. Pain and fear. I collapse to my knees and let out heavy sobs. 

"W-....w-what....is.....h-happening...t-to m-me?.......w-why....am.....I-I....s-so......sad?!" I say, in between sobs. 

Jackson walks over to me and pats my back. "You're sensitive to the feelings of many spirits within this place."

I look up at him, tears pouring from my eyes. "S-sensitive....?" 

Jimin lifts me up and I try to wipe the tears away, but they aren't stopping. 

"There are thousands and thousands of spirits that dwell within this realm, and all their pain, fear, worry, sadness, anger, confusion and hurt is being filtered through you. You're like a medium for them. You did just recently tap into your demonic powers, yes?" Jackson asks, watching me carefully. 

I nod, still crying. "Y-yes..."

"Well, considering you just found out about your abilities, you don't know how to control them. Right now, you're leaking supernatural aura and the spirits are attracted to it. You're like a giant, lit up sign saying 'TELL ME ABOUT ALL YOUR TROUBLES'. You need to figure out how to balance all those feelings out." 

"B-balance.....them...o-okay..." I say through my endless tears. "A-all....of t-this are...n-negative emotions......I-I n-need...t-to think of g-good...t-things...." 

I look up at Jimin, who is watching me, almost with worry. I smile through the tears and hug him close. 

"Y-you...are m-my...g-good thing...J-jimin..." I rub my face against his chest and take in his scent. 

Sandal wood and mint. He always smells good, even now. 

I began to feel a warm feeling open in my chest.

"I-I...l-....l-lo.....ve......y--.....o....oo." I hear Jimin's gruff voice say, shakily. 

I held him tighter and the tears stopped. I felt amazing. 

"Good job Adrianna, and..." Lucifer looks at Jimin and squints his eyes a bit, "and Frankenstein." 

We continue walking until we reach a waterfall.
