So how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine's was kind of dull but hey here's to hoping for Christmas!
I do not own anything.
Chapter Eight: Drainage
"Don't go into the water!"
That's exactly what Jun did when she saw the icicles heading for them. It wasn't like she didn't hear Orgemon, her fight-or-flight just overrode her partner's warnings. The water was cold on Jun's skin and darkness clouded her vision. She could barely see ten feet in front of her. Poking her head above the surface she saw Orgemon swimming towards a tree with Seadramon in hot pursuit. In a battle in the water her partner would be a goner in no time not to mention Jun had begun fearing water and more. For all she knew there was another Seadramon lying in wait. That thought didn't encourage her in the slightest.
Orgemon wasn't a newbie when it came to fighting opponents on their home territory. Seadramon was slippery, fierce, and could easily disappear into the water so that meant Orgemon would have to keep a hand no matter what. He was able to get in two good whacks with his bone club before the sea serpent managed to wiggle out of his grasp. "You can at the bottom of the lake but I'll still found ya' Seadramon!"
He got a hiss followed by a flurry of icicles in response. Grinning Orgemon threw a Pummel Whack at the spot the icicles ahd come from. A satisfying cry of pain rung through the area. Taking a place on a branch he looked out to see Jun had managed to climb onto a branch about eight feet above the water.
"He's coming from your left!" She called looking up from her Digivice.
His club shatter the icicles before they could reach him. "Next!"
"To your right!"
Instead of his club Orgemon used his fist to deliver an uppercut that left a bruise on Seadramon's chin. While the marine digimon was stunned Orgemon dragged it to the trunk of the tree and began smacking it over and over with his club. "Nice so hot now that you're out of water are you?" Orgemon boasted.
"Watch out for his tail Orgemon!" Jun called seeing Seadramon's tail slowly wrap around Orgemon's left foot.
Moments after his partner's voice reached his ears Orgemon felt a jolt of pain take root in his left foot. The muscles in his foot were being compressed painfully causing him to drop Seadramon to pry his tail off his leg. Seadramon took the opportunity to heft Orgemon into the air and hurl him into the water. With the Digimon Hunter gone the virus infected sea serpent turned its red eyes towards Jun. Letting out an unholy shriek it raced towards her with the grace and image of a snake through grass. Bracing her body for another round of extreme running and dodging Jun kept the scream building in her mouth down. When Seadramon lunged towards the branch with its jaws wide open Jun dived into the water, noting the snapping of the tree branch behind her.
Not looking back or thinking about the twelve foot long serpent behind her Jun swam as fast as she could towards the nearest tree. Grabbing onto the bark she climbed upward just in time to avoid being impaled by the black icicles. Seadramon prepared to fire another volley only to find Orgemon had his arms wrapped tightly around his neck. This time the digital ogre refused to let go even with Seadramon dove deep beneath the water. Jun could hear the snarls and biting then a sudden snap followed by a feint green light painting the top of the water.
Jun waited a minute, then two before Orgemon resurfaced with a trumpet grin on his face. "I'm guessing you gave him a Pummel Whack to the head?"
"Yep but I found something awesome; a tunnel!" Orgemon pointed at the water which was formerly at his waist was now a little below it. "The water's receding, being drained somewhere."
"Could it lead to the coast?" Jun asked.
"I don't know…but I'm going to scout it out." Orgemon said surprising Jun. "I've hunted marine digimon before so don't worry I can hold my breath for a while." Realizing that wasn't what Jun was thinking Orgemon dove back beneath the water then came up holding a collection of teeth she assumed he'd pulled from Seadramon during their battle.
Jun watched in silent awe as he broke off a tree branch the size of a baseball bat and began sharpening some of its ends. From some of his pouches he withdrew some string and a strange jell-like substance that made Jun's stomach crawl. It took about six minutes, afterwards Orgemon was a holding a make-shift club with three sharp teeth driven through it. Holding the club Jun felt a sense of power and safety she hadn't felt since she'd first arrived in the Dark Ocean. Now she had something to fight with.
Taking out her Digivice Jun pointed it at Orgemon and clicked one of the side buttons. A blinking dot came up on the screen. "I'll be tracking you from here okay? Orgemon…please be careful."
The Digimon Hunter gave her a thumbs-up before once more disappearing into the water leaving Jun alone. Almost as soon as Orgemon left it began to rain again. Staring at her reflection in the water Jun wondered how much she'd changed and how long it had been since she was in the real world.
Her hair was wet and stuck to her dirty face giving her something of a wild girl look. Whatever parts of her clothes weren't stained by mud were soaked or torn by the ever present water. There were a few small cuts along her arms and face that would hopefully leave no scars. Still, Jun felt she would be getting a scar from this ordeal, she already had enough mental ones to last a lifetime.
Did Davis ever have to put up with any of this? If her brother did then Jun swore she'd show her little brother a lot more respect than she'd previously been. God she wished she could call him, call her parents or anyone who could get her out.
Overhead lightning split the sky lightning up the lake in a pale light. All it did was empathize the sheer lack of color the world possessed. Just looking at the landscape seemed to drain whatever life was left in her. What could of world was this anyway? Who lived here besides this fish-men and why the hell would anyone want to fight over it? Jun hadn't heard any roars or attacks being called in some time so she could only assume whoever was fighting had decided to take a break. Jun didn't mind that at all.
She watched the water slowly recede little by little as she waits for Orgemon to return. Even if the water did recede enough she wasn't going to move. If she did then when Orgemon came back he'd be in a mad panic searching for her and they'd have no solid way of contacting each other.
She found a few rocks to throw, it helped her pass the time. Between skipping rocks and watching the wind rustle the leaves Jun had never felt more at peace. Despite the tranquility she kept her senses alert, her hands always ready to move towards her club in case something came at her.
I wonder if the others are looking for me. Immediately the thought was dismissed when she realized while she may not have changed everyone's opinion of her but that didn't mean no one would have noticed she was missing. Davis definitely would be but would they find her? Orgemon said this place wasn't a part of the Digital World so would he even know where to look? If only I could send some kind of message! Let them know I'm not in the Di-
"Ow!" Orgemon's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Watch where you're throwing those things!"
Blinking back into reality Jun saw Orgemon emerging from the water holding a hand over his head where her rock had hit him. "Sorry about that. Were you able to find anything?"
"Hell yeah I was! There's a tunnel that leads to an underground network, when I came up I could smell seawater blowing throughout the whole place."
Jun wanted to smile but an ugly thought burrowed its way into her mind then materialized on her face. "You said there was a network right? What if we end up getting lost under there?"
Orgemon proudly shook his head pointing to what Jun assumed was his noise. "Not a problem! All we have to do is follow my nose and we'll be at the coast in no time!"
Orgemon's logic was sound in Jun's mind, provided his nose didn't lead them in circles. Both of them took what was probably the largest gulp of air they'd ever taken then dived into the water. Naturally Jun could barely see anything beyond four feet due to the darkness of the water. Luckily all she had to do was keep sight of Orgemon and that would do. Said digimon already knew his partner would only be able to hold her breath for so long so without warning he grabbed her by the wrist, brought her close enough for her arms to wrap around his neck and he swam as harder as he could. The action surprised Jun immensely. If she could have then she would have given Orgemon a smile and thank you for his consideration, alas it would have to wait for later.
The deeper they went the darker the water got. Pieces of wood and leaves floated past them as they swam through the tunnel Orgemon had mentioned earlier. It wasn't exactly spacey but enough for the two to move without complications. With her arms still locked around her partner's waist Jun looked at the walls to find small objects that seemed to glow in the darkness of the water. For a second they looked almost like diamonds stuck in the wall. Gently she reached her hand out to touch one only for it to disappear just as she was about to grasp it.
Damn it Jun don't do that! Orgemon barked in his head. Jun had to keep her arms wrapped around him at all times or else who knows what would end up happening. Making a sharp right turn Orgemon pace quickened when he felt the hairs on the back of his neck prick up. Shit! Something was following them? How, it didn't matter. What did matter was moving as fast as he could to the lagoon he'd land marked earlier. The semi-silence of the tunnel was disrupted thanks to the heavy breathing of their pursuer moving towards them at an unnatural speed.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
To the both of them the sound of the Digivice going off was the equivalent of a fire alarm going off. What neither realized it wasn't their pursuer that was setting it off, it was the surge of air that was ripping through the tunnel at break near speeds. For all of Jun's might she couldn't hold onto Orgemon when the torrent hit. Before Orgemon could even reach out to her he was swept away too, silently screaming her name into the abyss. Compared to what she as feeling now everything else was a ride on the swing. Jun's lungs filled instantly with dirty water she wanted desperately to spit out only to realize that was all that was around her.
Back and forth she was tossed and turned by the current. Her face and back repeatedly hit against the cavern walls every eight seconds though not hard enough to break anything. Scraps of wood and leaves flew into Jun's face followed by wrappers and even cans. Garbage, she was being battered by freaking garbage. Despite the situation Jun thought that had to be good, it meant they must have been near or close to civilization. Her arms helplessly failed from side to side trying to grab onto anything but the current was too strong. She felt her hands slide against the cavern wall then through open water.
I've got to get out of here! Anywhere but here! Jun's mind frantically thought while her eyes scanned the darkness for some sign of light. The water feeling her lungs and stinging her eyes screamed for her mind to work faster. So did her back which had begun aching from all the tossing and slamming.
It was brief but she saw it, a light that faintly broke through the darkness of the water. The maroon haired girl had just enough strength and thought left to use her club as an anchor, burying the spiked tip into the wall. Just focus on the light! Focus on the light…focus on the light…She kept telling herself as the light began to grow dimmer. Davis…mom…dad…Sora…Mimi…Matt…
Jun saw all their faces just above the water. All laughing and smiling, she wanted to be there with them. She wanted to see them again, not die in some tunnel in some forsaken black and white hell.
With the last bit of strength Jun had she pushed herself forward until she felt cold air brush against her fingers. Forgetting everything she'd heard about rising out of water too fast she practically rammed her head through the surface. At the first sign of stable land she hulled herself forward, planting her club down then falling to all fours. Jun coughed and wheezed everything she'd unknowingly swallowed while underwater. She didn't dare look at it for fear of vomiting more than she already was.
She hadn't barfed this much since she'd accidentally eaten that spoiled piece of chocolate in seventh grade.
Rolling onto her back Jun's breathe continued to come out rigid though much more ease. The air she'd been so desperate to breathe smelled of a mix of trash, sludge, and sea water. In other words it was totally disgusting but still better than the water.
"Yep, next vacation anything near the water is totally out." Jun muttered wiping her mouth off with her sleeve. She wasn't expecting something to answer her pathetic quip but she heard something go off as soon as she finished. "Huh?"
Peering to her left Jun's mind almost shut down at what she saw. There, as if glued into the wall was a TV screen, not that big in size but still large enough to generate a sizable amount of light. The screen was totally blue and constantly emitting that eternally annoying buzz sound it always did whenever it was on the fritz. Upon closer examination Jun discovered the TV had cables running from its back into the wall. That was what caught Jun's interest. The cables disappeared into a carved hole that she assumed ran through the entire place. More cables broke out of the cavern then disappeared back into the tunnels that continued onward into darkness. Turning her attention to the lagoon pool Jun's stomach did another somersault at the sight of trash floating to the surface.
Hosting her club Jun let herself relax for a few minutes before proceeding into the darkness with her Digivice clipped to her waist. It turned out she wouldn't need it as much as she thought she would. More mini-TV screens lined the walls of the tunnels, all of them stuck on the same blue screen.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
"First sign of hard civilization I find and it's stupid garbage. Wonderful." Jun muttered while her feet crushed the dozens of items. Not a good five steps could be taken without stepping on some form of garbage or worn out object. "I've got to be under the town or something. That's the only place that could produce this much garbage." Faintly Jun wondered what kind of town it was given how much trash she was stepping on. Teddy bears, soda cans, bottles, pieces of boxes, watches, broken glass (which she did her utmost to avoid), toys, and scraps of metal. Seeing no opening in the ceiling Jun theorized it all must have flowed down just like she had. It feels like I've been flushed down the toilet.
Under the light of a nearby TV screen Jun paused to reach for her Digivice. Orgemon…Jun didn't need to see Orgemon's face to know the fear and shock he felt at losing her. He'd vowed to protect and losing her had probably made him feel like a failure. Knowing full well what that felt like she began tinkering with the gadget. The screen remained fuzzy but she could just barely hear the sound of her partner's breathing.
"Orgemon? Orgemon can you hear me? Please Orgemon come in!" She called repeatedly.
"J-J-J-Jun? JUN! W-Wh-u?"
Jun could barely make out what Orgemon was saying so she figured she might as well let him know she was alright. "Listen I'm alright! I think I came up through that lagoon you mentioned! I'm in some underground tunnel filled with trash and TV screens!"
"M-Me t-t-too! Hav-y…our-your…scent! Do-ove!"
The signal cut off right after Orgemon finished. Jun considered Orgemon's warning about not moving but softly chuckled at it. "Not move? How the hell can he ask me not to move when I'm stuck down here in some…"
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!
Dead silence overtook Jun. Of course…why couldn't it have been any different here? Water. Puddles, leaky pipes, and small streams. Jun hadn't noticed any of it until she was left alone. Even as she leaned against the ground she could feel the moisture on the wall. Oddly enough even some of the TVs seemed wet yet they showed no signs of malfunction aside from the fuzzy screen.
Why is this place full of so much water anyway? Jun wondered continuing on her way albeit at a much slower place. The cave hadn't been cold before yet at that moment Jun could have sworn she felt a wintery breeze flood the cave. With her wet clothes stinking to her skin, her club raised, and her cuts and bruises she could only imagine how she looked like in the dim light of the screens. Stopping at a mirror she got a good look; she looked like a character in a horror movie.
That didn't make her feel better in the tiniest way possible.
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!
Jun's heart rate immediately spiked up resulting in a knee-jerk reaction. With a cry she spun around swinging her club at nothing but empty air.
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!
Was it her imagination or had the water level inside the cavern risen? Now it almost touched the ankles of her feet. Had it also gotten colder too? The numbness was spreading from her toes up towards her knees then it stopped once it reached her head. All too late Jun realized the coldness wasn't from the water…it was from the fear.
THIMP!
If Jun had to guess it sounded like something with webbed feet was walking through the water. It was getting closer and closer until Jun could see it turning the corner.
It the dim light provided by the TV its appearance appeared all the more terrifying. It was one of the fish-men from before. Barely over six feet tall, aquatic yet humanoid, and its red eyes shining through the smoky mist that covered its body. Drops of water rolled off its skin onto the ground. Its webbed hands twitched erratically as it stared down Jun in the hallway.
Its pale yellow eyes stood out in the black and white world like beacons.
Once its mouth opened a low, scratchy, inhuman moan left its fat lips. No earthly creature could make a sound so…so…repulsive as it was doing to Jun. The moan practically put Jun's whole body on lock down.
THIMP! THIMP!
Jun stood totally frozen even as the creature took two steps towards her. The ghostly moan was replaced with a throaty voice that wasn't much of an improvement, "Huuuuummmman."
The way it scratched out the word shocked Jun out of stupor. Her first impulse was to run, scream, or just smack the thing upside the head…but she wouldn't. Her life had been in enough danger and Orgemon had taught her enough to know sometimes it's better to wait. Even if it meant burying the fear racing through her body a mile a minute.
It took another step forward, this time reaching its hand out. "Nooooot…her. Not…the one. But…stiiiiiillllll…nnnnneeeeeded."
It kept coming towards her. Six feet…five feet…four feet…three feet…two feet…
That was when Jun swung her club, right when the creature was about to lung for her. The fish-man had fear on her, she had speed and adrenaline pumping through her veins. She brought her club to the back of the fish-man's head sending it crashing into the mirror. Oddly when it moaned in pain it filled Jun's heart with a sense of joy. It was sickening but the joy was better than the fear.
When it pulled itself up from the ground to lung at her again Jun swung her club upward catching the creature in the chin. She hit the creature, harder, this time knocking it to the side of the cave.
The fish-man slumped to the ground in an unmoving hemp.
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!
Jun's eyes remained glued to the dark lump. Dear God, had she killed it? This thing isn't a digimon so that means it can't die right? Right? Something cold and dark grasp Jun's heart causing her breathe to turn rigid and her knees to buckle. Regardless it was a living creature. She'd just killed a living creature.
Whether luck or not the thought didn't have a lot of time to sick in. The fish-man turned into a complete lump of mist then faded away into absolute nothing. Jun was left kneeling there in front of the busted mirror and the TV screen's light illuminating her face.
BEEP!
Bringing her Digivice up to the light Jun saw a dot appear on the screen. On the left side corner a cartoonish digital image of Orgemon came up bringing a smile to Jun's face. Grabbing her club Jun stood up and peered into the cave. Rather or not the fish-men were living creatures or not didn't matter. There were hostile to her and likely Orgemon too. That told Jun all she needed to know when she ran into the next one.
She was less scared were it spotted her as it came up out of a lagoon pool. It took two strikes this time to dissipate it. There was no remorse in her eyes by the fourth one. She knew what had to be done if she was going to make it out of this alive.
If she had to then she was going bash in every fish-man's head.
When smelled the booze she knew it had to have been liquor this time. That was only slightly better than drugs. Slightly.
Chiyo had grown used to avoiding the empty beer bottles and glass strewn throughout the apartment. Since she'd entered from the window she didn't have to see her mother's half nude body asleep on the couch or on the floor. Chiyo didn't care to know which or check to see if she was around glass or anything sharp.
Truth was deep down Chiyo wouldn't have minded anything sharp being around her. If she rolled over and there was a shard of glass there…
Chiyo sighed as she reached the door to her bedroom, shaking away the thoughts she didn't want to focus on. Her door was still closed and lock. That was good, the last two times she'd came back it'd been busted wide open. Taking out her key and sliding it into the lock Chiyo pushed the door open as quietly as possibly without awaking her mother in the living room.
Inside her room had remained the same since the last time she'd had to clean it. The smell of alcohol hadn't made its way into it which she was thankful for. Her bed was up against the wall on her right while her desk sat just past it, pressing against the wall and right next to the window. To her right was her dresser and TV, both untouched like everything else. If anyone walked in, they wouldn't have been surprised by the lack of…personalization given Chiyo's personality. Most teenagers did something to decorate their rooms rather it be a poster or shelf composed of their favorite items. Chiyo didn't do that. Besides the computer on her desk and school-related books there was nothing in her room that spoke of her interests or hobbies. It was totally blank containing no sense of self.
However in an apartment ruled by a ragging drug addict and drunk this wasn't unnatural, it was needed.
Once Chiyo was inside she locked the door. The door had two locks, one on the outside and one on the inside. Chiyo was the only one with a key yet that still didn't stop her mother or one of her boyfriends from finding someway inside. More than once she'd come back to find her door either with a hole in it or torn off the hinges. That's how she'd gotten so good at repairing doors, furniture and locksmithing.
After examining her room she moved to her dresser, moving it to the side only a few inches. Tearing back the wallpaper to reveal a small hatch she pulled until a nice little man-hole in the wall was made. Worming her way inside she pulled the dresser back just before she completely disappeared into the manhole. Inside was a small ladder she climbed up until she reached a hatch she forced it open.
For the past four years she'd been grateful they'd lived in one of the few houses with an attic. In the years since the accident she'd turned to the dusty room as a haven against the horrors of the outside world. Her mother didn't know and even if she did she would never figure out where she hid herself because she'd totally forgotten about the attic. After she met Daemon she began cleaning up the place, turning it into a miniature storage room. It had become more of a home to her than her room or the entire house.
Boxes containing countless items from chemicals to climbing equipment she'd bought were lined along the wall. Square in the center was a shiny new laptop she'd been eying for months on end. First she booted it up then began her hacking. Second she looked at the school's schedule and hacked into Ken's computer. In the dim light provided by the lamp and the computer screen Chiyo's eyes seemed to be near devoid of all feelings expect for one; anger.
All you're getting is that one night while Ken's going to get hundreds of them. Does that seem fair to you?
Once she'd finished she brought up a map of the Dark Ocean. From what she could tell Daemon was wining though Dagomon was still putting up a good fight. Her "partner" controlled sixty-seven percent of the Dark Ocean but had hit one hell of a road-block from there. It wasn't just Dagomon that he was fighting against. No now they had to deal with those Remnants. They were so small Chiyo first thought they wouldn't matter but they were sneaky, unwilling to let two super evil Digimon rule over them. Daemon told her they'd been chipping off fragments of Control Spires and taking them back to their underground tunnels. Chiyo wanted to have those tunnels mapped out but the Demon lord of wrath kept refusing her time and time again.
Chiyo theorized that's where Jun probably was. If the Remnants had caught her they'd keep her hostage then use her to bargain with the DigiDestined for Kari. If she could clue them into where she was then maybe they'd be able to mount a rescue…and fall right into Daemon's trap.
Chiyo's typing stopped instantly when the picture began to form in her head. Davis's relief shattered by anger and fury. Jun's joy at seeing her friends turning into fear at the sight of the evil overlord. And Chiyo would be the cause of all of it…
In the back of her head Chiyo felt a jolt of pain burrow into her brain then coil around her brain. With her eyes snapped shut she couldn't the see the flickering of the lights, the computer crashing for a split second or the green aura around her.
"Kari Kamiya…" Her voice sounded deeper and darker than it ever did. Even if the DigiDestined were trapped they had T.K. and Kari, the bearers of the crests of Hope and Light. They'd be able to stop Daemon, they'd be able to destroy him. Kari would be able to destroy him. She'd take the credit, she'd have Davis's admiration and thanks.
The thought filled with hatred and an overwhelming desire to see her light snuffed out.
Chiyo got back to typing and after a few minutes shut her laptop. Next she went digging through some of her boxes, finding her climbing equipment and tools. She had been ordered to drive Ken insane but that didn't mean she couldn't go after Kari like she'd always wanted to. Daemon would understand, besides it also furthered his plan.
The more hate, fear, jealousy, pride, and even lust you can stir up the better. Do that and you'll have your dreams back Chiyo.
All in all Jun would say she wasn't doing too bad, she destroyed eight fish-men by the time she'd reached another lagoon pool. She waited in the shadows while another fish-men came out of the water holding something in his webbed hands. It gingerly held up the item with a grin on its shadowy face. Jun saw it was a small piece of obsidian metal. Keeping a gasp from escaping she realized it was a piece of a Control Spire. In the hands of the creature the fragment hummed with a purple aura slowly growing around it.
Even though she wasn't visibly to the creature Jun could feel the same feeling of despair and darkness ripple through her body as before. The courage she'd built up was being slowly drained away.
The fish-man grunted when it realized the shard was drawing strength from a nearby source. Whether by luck or brains it turned in Jun's direction and began to move forward.
Realizing her cover was blown Jun sprung out swinging her club only to have it blocked.
"Eep!" Jun yelled.
Shrugging off the club the fish-man lunged at Jun with more speed than its brethren had. Jun barely dodged the first one and nearly was back handed by the other arm. Spinning around the fish-man lunged at Jun again, this time knocking Jun to her feet. Fear returned to Jun's body in spades when the creature tackled her to the ground, the only thing keeping it at bay was her club.
God these things are ugly and they stink! Jun thought in her mind. This thing wasn't going to get her! Not after taking down nearly ten of these monsters. Freeing her left hand she slammed it into the creature's face, twice. It howled in pain dropping the fragment and rolling off of Jun. Kicking the shard away Jun brought her club down onto the creature's abdomen then again in the chest. When it still didn't disappear Jun flipped her club over so the sharpened pieces stuck out.
The fish-man's howl probably stretched a good while only to be drained out by the licking and rushing of water. Finally it went still before dissolving into dark vapor.
Leaning on her club Jun eyed the shard for a moment. A trail of dark mist flowed from one of the tunnels to her right giving her an idea where to go next. Before leaving Jun kicked the shard into the lagoon pool.
Down the right tunnel the presence of pipes and cables grew along with the number of TVs. Unlike the others the screens weren't just static, they had pictures that could be slightly made out. Jun had to lean in close to make out some of the pictures and sounds yet all of them continued filling Jun's heart with dread.
After about ten minutes of walking Jun came to the source of the noises. And God did she wish she'd taken a different tunnel.
The room was the size of a classroom, cables and pipes running through the walls. Multiple poodles littered the ground along with toys, broken instruments, torn clothing, rings, keys, and sheets of paper. Dozens of screens occupied the room, some with speakers, some without, all broadcasting sounds of horror and despair. In one Jun saw a man cradling a woman's dead body with a smoking car in the background, another of a man getting shot from the view of a security camera, two cars racing down a highway only to crash into each other forming a giant fireball, a child crying as he's dragged away by a man while a woman looks helplessly on, a teenage boy sobbing on his bed with his back turned to Jun, two people having sex underneath the sheets of a bed with silent sobbing in the background, a teenage girl jumping from the top of a bridge, and many more.
All of it, the moans, the screaming, all of it brought Jun to her knees with tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. "What…what…what the hell kind of place is this?"
So how was this chapter? Any questions? Guess on what's going to happen? Feel free to leave them in the comments!
