Voices In My Head
Chapter 10
Saeran's POV
Saeran's body was on autopilot. His inner monster took over, he couldn't do anything to stop it. Saeran floated in his mind, his memories swirled around him. Why can't I control myself? He asked himself. There was no answer, just silence. He saw a figure dart away, it seemed vaguely familiar. "Hello...?" Saeran called out. Again, he was met with silence.
Saeran, we finally meet again.
He knew that voice, it was his mother. Saeran turned around, expecting to see her. Instead, all Saeran saw was a mirror image of himself. "You are the demon that keeps poisoning my mind?" He asked, shocked at what he saw. The mirror image nodded then cocked it's head to the side, giving Saeran a toothy grin.
You always thought it was your mother. At least part of you knew that the real demon was inside yourself.
Saeran stared into it's eyes, his golden eyes met black. There was no life to the mirror image, it looked like a nightmare come true. "What's going on? I can't control my body." Saeran said while trying to back away. The mirror image came closer and dragged a sharp nail down his cheek.
I am in charge. You are a creature fueled by hate and rage, nothing can get to you. Not even the girl.
Saeran looked to his right and saw the MC from his nightmares. Her hellish look matched his mirror image. "That's not the real MC. That is just a nightmare..." Saeran's voice cracked in fear as the nightmare MC came closer. Her twisted fingers grabbed his ankles and tugged, causing Saeran to fall to the ground. His mirror image cackled and vanished, leaving him with this living nightmare. Saeran screamed, his voice echoed in his own mind. "Get off me! You aren't real!" He cried while trying to kick her hands off. The clawed fingers scraped at his skin, drawing blood. She had him in an iron grip, her empty eyes reminded him of all his past fears. Saeran kept screaming, his voice quickly going hoarse.
Scream all you want Saeran. I Am In Control.
The Monster's POV
His face curled up into a deadly smirk. He was out for blood, Saeyoung's blood. He could feel the RFA member's eyes on him as he drove. They wouldn't understand how weak Saeran was, they never have. The only thing that He could do to break Saeran down, was create a nightmare of the one thing he held most precious. When the hellish MC was created, He could feel Saeran's will breaking at the seams. When He put the nightmare to work, that's when He slipped in and slowly took control. That girl had broken down years of work in just a few days, so He wanted her blood as well.
The RFA members tried to talk to Him, however; all they got was silence. The silver-haired actor tried to touch Him, which earned the man a glare. His black eyes burned into His surroundings. In the back of His mind, He could feel Saeran grasping for freedom. To stop this, He sent more hellish versions of the things Saeran held dear to him. Saeran kept screaming, distracting Him from His objective.
If you do not stop yelling. I WILL KILL HER
Saeran shut up, He knew that would silence His weaker self. They arrived at Mint Eye, He knew exactly where to go. Something inside stopped Him however; He felt... scared.
Saeran's POV
Saeran had used the last of his strength to make the monster stop. The nightmare versions of MC and the other RFA members clawed at his legs, opening up cuts. Blood streamed from his legs, causing Saeran to cry out and fall on the ground. The nightmares took his arms and scratched his shirt off. Saeran's past scars stood out against his skin, causing the nightmares to pause for a second. The hellish version of MC made clicking noises with her throat before opening her mouth. Inside were rows of long, sharp teeth; they looked like needles that jutted out from her gums. The other nightmares made the same clicking noise before grabbing giant thorns from the ground.
The first thorn went through his shoulder, pinning his left side to the ground. Saeran cried out in pain and tried to struggle. That's when the next thorn pierced his right shoulder, immobilizing his torso. Hot tears flowed down his cheeks as he screamed bloody murder. The nightmares stabbed two more thorns into his legs. Saeran couldn't move, blood stained his pale skin and hair. He couldn't endure this torture for much longer. Saeran screamed one last time before his vision went black.
MC's POV
MC spit blood onto Saeyoung's shoes, earning another smack to her face. "He is NOT coming for you!" Saeyoung growled. MC grimaced as she shifted to a sitting position, glaring at her attacker. "He's on his way now. Saeran wouldn't leave me in your hands." She spat. Saeyoung's face went red, but before he could hit her again, one of the Mint Eye members walked into the dusty room. "She needs a stronger dose. We need that determination to crumble!" The person said while showing Saeyoung a large needle. He shook his head and slapped it out of their hand. The needle just happened to roll towards MC, so she quickly grabbed it. Saeyoung was too busy yelling at the cult member to notice that MC was slowly crawling towards the door. Once she made it to the door, she shakily stood up and ran. MC ran down the twisting hallways towards the exit, where she bumped into someone.
It was Saeran...
His POV
She had ran into Him. The girl that kept His weaker side alive, was standing right in front of Him. "Saeran! Oh my god! I've been waiting for you!" MC cried happily as she hugged Him. He didn't return the gesture, the smell of blood was intoxicating. He smiled and tilted her face up to look into His black eyes. "I am Not Saeran." He said before wiping the blood off her lips with His thumb. "Saeran... what do you mean?" MC asked while backing away. He smirked, seeing her terrified was beautiful. He cackled and took a strand of her hair between His fingers. "Saeran was weak. He is buried in the back of my mind, getting tortured by his fears. You are one of them." He said before walking off. MC gripped the syringe of drugs tightly and ran towards the exit again.
"Saeyoung Choi. Saeran's other weak link. We finally meet." He said when He finally found where the twin was hiding. "We need to have a chat. I assure you, it will end with blood being spilt on this floor."
MC's POV
MC kept running, her lungs burning. Whatever she had met back there was not the Saeran she knew. It reminds me of his monstrous side that came out when he punched Saeyoung. She thought while sprinting through the exit. "MC!" She heard Jaehee call. The women ran towards each other, MC ran right into a rib-crushing hug from her best friend. "MC! You're alive!" Zen and Yoosung cried while bringing her into a huge bear hug. Jumin joined in the group hug once things had calmed down a bit. "Saeran, he's still in there!" MC cried while frantically waving to the building behind her. "MC, I do not think that the male in there is Saeran." Jumin grumbled quietly. She looked at the business-man, tears pricking at her eyes. "Then who the hell was it?! It's eyes were black but that was Saeran. We have to go help him!" She cried while walking back towards the building. Zen grabbed her arms and held her back. "Let me go! I need to go help him!" MC screamed while struggling against his tight grip. MC started sobbing, slowly sinking down to her knees.
The building was silent for 20 minutes before the gunshot was heard.
BANG
One shot went off, filling the empty silence.
BANG BANG
Two more went off, the RFA members were frozen.
BANG
The final shot went off. The area was silent. No one moved a muscle, not even MC.
They all waited for someone to walk out of the building. No one did, not even the cult members of Mint Eye. None of the RFA members were brave enough to walk into the building to see what happened. Until MC stood up, the syringe fell out of her hands, her eyes were filled with tears. She walked towards the silent building.
Saeran's POV
Twenty Minutes Ago.
His hands twitched as his vision cleared. Saeran was no longer pinned down by his nightmares or thorns. The areas where they had been stabbed into were fully healed, his legs were no longer cut up. Saeran couldn't hear his mirror image's voice anymore. He thought that he was free, that was... until he saw the scene in front of him.
His body still wasn't under his control. His hand held a pistol, aimed at the person Saeyoung was yelling at. His fingers squeezed the trigger, shooting the person directly between the ribs. His brother looked at him in fear, the bloodlust in Saeran's eyes was obvious. Saeran's mirror image made his finger squeeze the trigger again. Saeran panicked and tried to get his arm to move. It did, but the bullet went through Saeyoung's thigh.
DO NOT FUCK THIS UP WEAKLING
Saeran cried out as his wounds slowly returned, the coppery smell of blood filled his nose. The mirror image aimed at Saeyoung's head, but with the last of his strength, Saeran made his body move. His fingers squeezed the trigger and the bullet flew out of the chamber. It struck the ground next to Saeyoung. The red-head was terrified for his own life, so he kicked Saeran.
His body hit the ground and his twin brother scrambled for the gun. Once he got it, Saeyoung aimed it directly between Saeran's eyes. "You wouldn't dare! You can't kill me!" The mirror image cackled. Saeyoung's hands shook as he cocked the pistol. Saeyoung please don't do this... Saeran thought as his vision went blurry. The mirror image kept laughing, taunting the twin.
Saeyoung squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath.
Two gunshots could be heard from outside.
He opened his eyes again and stared at the monster that called itself his brother.
No one moved, the air was still.
Saeyoung wrapped his fingers around the trigger, silently praying for forgiveness.
Nothing moved outside. There was no wind. The members were frozen in their spots.
He squeezed the trigger. Sending off the third and final gunshot.
Saeran's vision went black, the last thing he saw was MC. Her smiling face comforted him as pain blossomed between his eyes. This was his ending. He should have known that there were no happy endings for people like him. He whispered goodbye to the image of her face as his eyes closed.
Saeran Choi, the twin brother of Saeyoung, lover of MC, the monster of Mint Eye finally got his ending.
The Bad Ending.
MC's POV
Current time
MC numbly walked down the corridors, she knew where the gunshots came from. As she turned the corner, the stench of blood smacked her in the face. MC had no tears left, everything was numb. She walked into the room where she was held captive. The gruesome scene was burned into her brain until the end of time. The Mint Eye member that she stole the syringe from was dead, blood pooled under them. Saeyoung was shaking, a pistol in his hands, and tears streaming down his face.
MC choked back a sob when she saw Saeran's body, lifeless on the ground. His blood had spread underneath Saeyoung, indicating what he had done. "You... How could you?!" MC screeched, diving for Saeyoung's face, nails first. She sobbed as she hit his chest, the pain of losing Saeran was unbearable. MC screamed and backed away from Saeran's lifeless body, still in shock over his death.
The other RFA members came running in and starting crying at the sight. This would be the second member that they would have to bury. Zen and Jaehee grabbed MC, who kicked and screamed. "NO! He's going to get up! He has to!" MC sobbed as she was taken away from the scene. No one spoke to Saeyoung as they left.
Jumin called his personal guards, asking them to swiftly clean up what had happened. MC sobbed a request for the guards to not throw away Saeran's body, she had to bury it properly. None of the RFA members could speak, they couldn't comfort each other. They took MC and drove her back to her apartment, understanding that she needed space.
Once home, MC ran into his room, half expecting him to be there. The silence of the apartment was back, she was truly alone again. She pulled his shirts from the closet and tossed them on his bed. She laid down on the shirts, they still smelled like him. MC sobbed once again, clinging to the shirts that he left.
Her phone eventually got replaced, all of the pictures of him got transfered from her old phone. MC numbly looked at them, his laughter echoed off the empty walls. Zen and Jaehee stopped by everyday, attempting to cheer her up. MC wouldn't eat more than a few bites of food every so often. She didn't leave his room, if she left it would feel like seeing his lifeless body all over again.
A new chat-room has opened
Zen: Has anyone heard from MC? The funeral is today.
Jaehee: She will be attending later.
Yoosung: Is she okay? I heard that being around people really scared her.
Jumin: She is still coping with the loss of her lover. She will likely be grieving for a long time.
Zen: I really hope that she shows up with the rest of us.
Jaehee: We cannot force her. She is the one who is in the most pain.
707: ...
Yoosung: I have to go pick up my clothes. See you guys at the service...
Yoosung has left the chat-room
Zen: You have some nerve showing up here Seven.
707: I'm going to the service, then leaving. The RFA is better without me, and so is this city.
707 has left the chat-room
Jaehee: I need to go coax MC to eat something before I get to the service. Excuse me
Jumin: I'm on my way now
Jaehee has left the chat-room
Jumin has left the chat-room
Zen: MC... If you are reading this, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I hope that once your heart heals you can come back to your friends and family here.
Zen has left the chat-room
MC has entered the chat-room
MC: Please don't ask me to come back once I'm healed. A wound like this will not heal. Thank you for letting me be part of this organization, but I have to leave. Traces of him are everywhere, I send texts that don't get answered. Its reminding me that he is truly gone. Goodbye everyone, you will still see me around, just not in the RFA.
