9 Layers Down (Twice)

Chapter 14 - In the Cold

The screens at the quarter where the girls were, turned on again out of nowhere.
It showed a surveillance of the outdoors.
"Is that Nayeon unnie?!" Tzuyu exclaimed, looking at the monitors.

"He brought her outside? Why did he bring her there?" Dahyun wondered.

"He must be planning to let her die by hypothermia." Mina figured.

"That bastard." There's nothing Jeongyeon can do but curse the devil.

"We told her not to make a move yet but she just…" Dahyun choked. Jihyo held her hand and hugged her from the back, giving her the necessary comfort and warmth she needed.

Nayeon decided to run to the green house when it started to rain. It was locked but she did her best to destroy it by pounding it with a huge rock.

When she succeeded, she was greeted with marijuana plants and opium poppy flowers he have been growing.
She took shelter into the bushes and discovered a really terrifying truth.
There were tombs, resting in the corner of the green house. It turns out, his family didn't leave him. They're all dead. He killed them.
Terror inevitably crept in her veins. 

A sound of a metal against metal wanged off the place.
"Yohoo! Hey, Im Nayeon. Did I give you a permission to get in here? You even destroyed my lock. How dare you!"
Nayeon tried my hardest not to make any sound but he still found her.
"Boo! Gotcha!"

"Please, no!"

"Did you see it? I know how smart you are. You have probably figured it out by now. And the answer is yes, I killed them. Do you know why? Cause they're annoying. They defied my rules."

"You're an evil!"

"I know. But can you blame me? They hated me! I didn't do anything wrong to them. Seriously, why did they have to be so mean?" There was no remorse nor mercy, manifesting on his features.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna do the same to you or any of the girls but that depends on how you behave. You're not gonna violate my rules again, Nayeon, isn't it? Answer me!"
His loud voice made Nayeon jump on her skin.

"Yes." She cried.

"Good girl. And again, don't you dare do anything stupid. I'm telling you, you're not gonna survive the electric fence all over this property. It's better to stay here."

Nayeon nodded in response. Defeated by his harsh words and deadly weapons.

He stood up and swung off the shovel and hit her head, leaving her unconscious on the ground.
"Unnie!" The girls called out in fear as they watch blood stream down the poor girl's head and into the muddy soil.

The screen turned pitch black.

The others were left sitting on uncertainty and despair.

"We're surrounded by electric fence too? He doesn't really have any plans of getting us out of here." Jihyo stated.

"This is crazy." Tzuyu banged her hand on the wall.

"This is bad. He's gonna kill all of us, isn't it?" Dahyun cried.

"Hey, Dahyun please, stop. We're not gonna die here, okay? Think positive." Jeongyeon encouraged.

"Fine, you're right. We can escape this this bunker, get through the electric fence, find the beach, get a random boat off the shore, try our best not to be lunch for sharks and row until we see another island, get some help and finally go home. Cool, that's a really doable plan!"
There was a combination of desperation and hatred, signifying on her tone.

"Stop, hey." Mina tried to calm her down.

"What? It seems so easy for her to say we're gonna survive this when we totally have a hair strand for a life line."
Dahyun began to breakdown and let anxiety and depression embrace her.
