Call Of Death : The Secrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 33 : Haunted Past

Devius was awaken in the middle of the night by Cameron's little groans. He sat up and turn to the detective's bed to check what he was doing. It was dark because the lights are off and he couldn't see what was happening. At first, he thought his partner was doing something naughty and he even had this devilish grin in his lips. So, Devius stood up and turned the lights on. When he turned to Detective Lee's direction again to tease him, his devilish grin changed into a confused expression when he saw that Cameron was still groaning as if he was in a lot of pain. He wasn't awake, he was asleep. He's having a nightmare. Officer Chad worriedly walks towards him and saw Cameron all sweaty and his forehead was wrinkled.

In his dream, he was back in that nightmarish place. The basement where he was kept as a kid. All the walls, the mirror, the door and the graffiti on the walls. The dirty floor and the very old bed where he used to lay down to sleep. The small window that resembles of that in jails where they will put those prisoners to punish them if they ever misbehave.

"Why am I here again? What am I doing here?" Cameron asked himself while looking around.

He wanted to escape but he just couldn't move from where he was standing. The room's temperature was frosty, just like how he remembered it. The dreadful feeling of being back in that place is like thousand of arrows being shot at him all at once. He wanted to shout but he couldn't even open his lips. It's as if they were shot and sewn. Cameron was getting out of breath when he heard a familiar voice calling out for him. He couldn't tell where it was coming from but he heard it.

"Senior! Detective Lee! Wake up" Devius carefully shook his partner's shoulder, attempting to wake him up.

"Cameron Lee! Senior Lee!" He called out.

But Cameron was trapped in his dream or more like a nightmare. Upon hearing the familiar voice who was calling out for him, he was able to move but his nightmare didn't end there. He was now running in an endless road where he couldn't tell what's ahead because it is nothing but an utter darkness. The only thing he could see was a spotlight placed on him. He knows something was chasing him because he could hear every step behind him but he couldn't look behind him, fearing that he might stumble and couldn't get up.

Cameron continued running but no matter how fast he run, he couldn't get to the end of the road. It's endless. It's a void. Upon learning that he won't get anywhere, he gathered all his courage and stopped on his tracks but he didn't look back.

"You can fight but you can't hide, choose to forget if you want but your past will come for hunt." He looked around when he heard a man's voice.

But he couldn't see anything because everything was black. "Who are you?" He shouted.

"Stop running or your haunted past will keep on chasing." Said the voice again.

It was very familiar yet it was not. He could hear it everywhere but he couldn't see anyone. When he turned to his back, the scene changed. If earlier he was in an utter darkness, now he was back again in that very old basement but it's another room. The walls are maid of old planks. A beam of sunlight from outside was peaking through the gap.

"Where am I?" He asked himself.

Cameron took a step and saw himself in front of a mirror but what confused him is that, his reflection was a lot younger. It was himself as a ten year old kid in his reflection. The mirror, the graffiti and bed, it was the same but the room was different. It wasn't the one he came from earlier.

"Long time no see, Lee Yuhyeol." His reflection said with an eerie smile.

"You..." He took a step backward.
