5 Days-The Fear She Felt
5 Days-The Fear She Felt
.......
Yumi was peering at the spot where she had seen CCK take Gayoon. Casper was with her too, watching the cabin. The CCK had taken Gayoon into the woods near the docks. The secluded area was perfect for the serial killer to carry out his crimes.
"He's been changing his killing spot," Yumi muttered. "I can't hear anything! We should go closer."
Casper nodded and they glided closer towards the cabin, peeking through the window. It was strange that the CCK's shadow could not sense them at all.
"Casper, don't you think it's strange that the black shadow can't sense us at all?" she whispered. "So far, it never seemed to have detected our presence."
Casper nodded, thinking the same thing. Why could he not sense them?
"You know what I think?" Yumi went on. "Only fully formed spirits can sense other spirits. Since this guy isn't dead yet, he can't sense us. Otherwise he's been stuck in the hospital for years and didn't sense a single spirit? It's either he didn't want to or he couldn't!"
Casper nodded in understanding as Yumi peeped through the glass, trying to catch a glimpse of the CCK. She made out two figures. One was tied up while the other towered over it.
"I see them!" she hissed. Casper peered through the window and saw Gayoon and Dohyun/CCK glaring at each other.
"What are they doing?" Yumi frowned. "CCK didn't paralyze her? Why?"
Both of them wondered the same thing and decided to glide through the wall. Gayoon immediately sensed their presence and it came as a relief to her. She maintained a poker face as the two spirits crept up behind the CCK. There was little they could do but at least they would be able to enter the seance at the hospital and inform Junho.
"Pathetic you say?" CCK said in a low tone. It glared at Gayoon before bursting into a fit of laughter. Gayoon watched calmly as the serial killer kept on laughing.
"You-" it choked. "You really think you're fearless, aren't you?"
"No," Gayoon simply said. "I just think you're pathetic-"
WHACK!
The force of the blow was so hard that Gayoon was almost knocked off the chair. Blood oozed out of her cheek but she did not care and glared back at the CCK. There was cold fury on its face as it tried to silence her.
Yumi did not dare to cry in shock while Casper watched in horror as the CCK dealt more blows to Gayoon. The latter spat out blood, panting heavily but was determined not to wince. Her hair was sweaty while bruises began to show up on her face.
"Still pathetic," she grinned.
"You're the one who's about to be dead in a few hours and you think that I am pathetic?" CCK spat at her. "Do you even know how horrific your death is going to be like-"
"First you will slit my throat, watch me as my blood gushes out while you relish every bit of the torment," Gayoon began to narrate. "The cut won't be deep because you'll keep me alive for a long time. Your face will be lit with joy, thinking of the ways you will make it more painful for me."
"Then you will cut my pulses," she went on. The serial killer's face was growing darker and darker with her every word. "The whole floor will be bloodied and I'm sure you will sneak a taste. After all, how can you resist the temptation of fresh blood?"
"Shut up," it whispered.
"Then you'll proceed to cut my heart open," Gayoon pressed. "You'll still keep me alive. I'm guessing there would be no anesthesia so that you can make it as painful for me as possible, trying to instill a fear in me as you cut out my heart in front of my own eyes until I can see no more. You'll make my death as painful as possible."
"So you do know how you'll die," it grinned.
"It's just predictable," Gayoon smirked. "You see, serial killers are all the same. They think they're different but they really are not. Their MO might differ but their motives are all the same. Trying to unleash their anger on a world which they thought was unfair to them."
"You know nothing about what's unfair, detective!" it hissed at her. Gayoon sneaked a glance at the wall clock. It was 2:30 AM in the morning and the seance would start within half an hour. She felt the two other presence in the room vanish while the CCK glared at her.
"You might not be scared now," CCK scoffed. "But once the blade touches your soft skin, you'll know what hell is."
Gayoon let out a loud sigh. Her heart was beating loudly in fear. It was beating so loudly that she was afraid the CCK would hear it and gloat its victory. Her hands were clammy and she tried her very best not to let her legs shiver in fright. She was very much scared in the presence of that lunatic but showing any hint of fear would be her downfall. The only reason it had not killed her yet was because it wanted her to be afraid.
And she must buy herself more time for ahjusshi to extract the shadow out of Dohyun.
...
Jina rushed towards the third floor where she had seen the black shadow. To her surprise, the whole floor was empty. There were no doctors or nurses around, making her extremely suspicious and scared. What if the dark shadow returned and spotted her?
She tried not to think about it. I have to be brave, she told herself.
Suddenly, she saw two figures sneaking into the room ahead of her. She quickly dashed towards it and burst through the door.
Junho and Shinjin were about to lay their equipment on the floor when the door flew open and a little girl entered the room. They were shocked and startled by the appearance of the little girl who looked very scared upon seeing them.
"I thought you said there won't be any people here tonight!" Junho hissed.
"I didn't know a little girl would barge in!" Shinjin hissed back.
"Uh...misters?" Jina began.
"Little girl, why are you here?" Junho asked in a gentle tone. "You should go to your mom and dad. Are you lost?"
Jina shook her head and asked, "Are you two the men who would get rid of the black shadow which took my Lady Cop?"
