2: Hell-Mate in Red

•⚜⚜•

“Dammit!”

The pernicious feeling was carping in the air. Something wasn’t right. Something that is beyond logical to define for her sanity. Like behind the depth of darkness, someone was pulling her inside manipulating every imperilment sign. The more she walks the more dreadful her footsteps become. Her mind wants explanations that are yet to be forced. Intuitions screamed urging caution to run back to safety; it was a gut-feeling instinctive reaction of humans. Then why was she still here?

“Tired,” 

Lisa spun around feeling a sudden cold breeze whistling against the back of her head, still nothing other than darkness. The light seems to have lost all the traces of living in, betraying her with the unknown. “Where are you?”

“Everywhere.” A childlike speaker sweetly quips with joy causing her to jump back. “ Scared?” This time the feminine tone underlying from where she stood. Lisa backed away until something frigid hard collided against the small of her back  she shivered feeling the coldness   

A wall– wait why would—

Cruel amused laughter chimed in the boundless space deep throaty giggles aroused every atom inside her trembling body. The hair on the back of her neck rises as her birthmark sparks to life. Another wave of breeze and a weight pressed into her. She squinted her eyes. “ Don’t be, Lisa.” The woman whispers cold breaths falling upon her lips.

Through the corner of her vision, she saw brown orbs gleaming in the dark staring into her soul, a chilly sensation crawling beneath her skin. Lisa was trapped prey and her predator caroused in it. “What do you want from me?” 

“Everything.” 

A tremor courses within her body weakening her knees; the perspicuity of words becomes extremely apparent. What was happening? Why? Lisa swallowed down the wet moisture of her saliva. Was she trapped? Then why Her body was refusing to follow paths, her mind was dazed. This situation was utterly bewildering. Was she lost? And has Nowhere to run. Will it be her end? In here in the dark alone with…with something, a devil, a woman, a woman named Ruby Jane

How ironic, Lisa wanted to scoff.  The perfect teacher’s pet Lalisa Manoban who always had solutions for everything, and finds a route in every problematic situation is going to die because of some…what a stupid fucking game! Park Chaeyoung if I survived you’ll be the first person to kill. A dry laugh escaped past her lips as she rested her head against the cold wall. “Why me?” 

“ Because you called,” the woman replies her voice is low, laden with sincerity

Maybe it was simple. The woman appeared because she’d been called and soon enough she’ll leave. Just like everyone else.“ What are you gonna do?”

“ Everything you want .” 

She couldn’t help but relax, the sleekness of utterances caressed her skin deeper to flesh til it stirred her thumping heart. She closed her eyes, allowing the silence to swallow poignant memories that ached her mind. Would this woman give her the peace she seeks? “ Will you kill me?” she finds herself saying

Serenity, being surrounded by darkness wasn’t terrifying but in a blink, the cold weight of the body that crashed against her provoked a cry of surprise. The feeling of her heartbeat slowly became void as her chest began to trice causing her lungs to wheeze for oxygen. She wanted to clutch her heart but her hands weren’t moving. Her vision blurred being pressed against the frigid stone and the coldness of the woman was probably the major reason why she’d be dead by now or that’s what she thought
