Title: Shadows

She was pretty. Long dark blue hair and hazel green eyes. Her smirk was like a mischievous cat. We walk home on the same street coming from night classes at the college.

We stopped by a food cart and ordered some food to get rid of our hunger. We ate our food deliciously and headed back home.

"Kihyun oppa."

"Yeah?" I answered.

"We should have a sleepover since our midterms are done." She grinned.

I looked at her with a confused look. She grinned at me and grabbed my arm. "Come on~ it wouldn't be bad." She said.

"You got the movies?" I asked.

"Tons thanks to my uncle. He's such a movie nerd." She rolled her eyes.

"Then I'm on board." I smiled as she cheered.

"We're gonna have so much fun."

She turned on all of the lights and sat her bag down. "Uncle Dan! Where are you?" She called out. I sat my bag I packed for the night on her couch. Her house was nice with warm colors and a tan couch. She came downstairs as she sighed. "My uncle's not upstairs so I guess it's just us."She said.

"Raina-ah, do you have ramen?" I asked.

"Yep. Suggesting that we should eat some?" Raina slowly grinned. I quickly nodded as I put on the movie.

I headed to the kitchen until I saw a sign on a door.

DO NOT ENTER! YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE!

"Uh, Raina-ah?" I called her.

"Yeah?" She said coming from the kitchen.

"Why can't we go in here?" I asked.

Her face went pale and kept looking at the ground. "Something's in there that my family couldn't believed it happen. It's too..."

"Complicated?" I answered. I grabbed the door handle. "Aw, come on. It's probably a dog."

"Kihyun do not open this door. You may not ever see sunlight again." Raina's tone darkened. "If you go in there, that's it."

I removed my hand from the handle. She was serious. I don't know who or what was in there, but it sounded creepy and something I shouldn't even ask about. "Let's eat." I half smiled as Raina nodded.

We ate our ramen as we watched a suspense flick, wrapped in a knit blanket. Unexpectedly we both fell asleep during the movie. A pound on the door woke me up. I saw Raina resting her head on my lap.

"Raina-ah." I shook her. Raina woke up and brushed her hair back. "What Kihyun oppa?" She yawned.

I didn't dare to say that I heard the basement door suddenly knock hard while we were sleeping. Instead I said, "Want me to take you to your room? We slept through the movie...again."

Raina laughed. "Yeah, that's fine." She said.

I gave her a piggy back up to her room and started to get her pillow and blanket off the floor. "I'll be downstairs okay?"

"Okay. Good night!" Raina smiled.

I closed her door and headed back downstairs. Looking up, I saw her uncle closing the basement door.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Raina's friend, Kihyun. She's upstairs sleeping." I bowed and informed her uncle.

"You said you were curious right?" Uncle Dan walked towards me.

"Y-Yeah, until Raina told me it was dangerous to go down there." I said.

"Pwah! She's just trying to scare you. You can go in there!" Uncle Dan patted my shoulder. His smirk grew wider. "But make sure you bring a light with you. It's dark as the black hole in space some say."

"Y-Yes sir." I stammered.

"Good night, Kihyun. See you in the daylight." Uncle Dan said as we went upstairs.

I went to the couch and turned off the TV. Laying my head on the pillow, the curiosity was eating me up. "No, do not go in there. You heard what Raina said." I muttered.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. There's was this girl in white. Long black hair, pale skin. She was pretty. I walked to her closer and closer until her face grew dark and started to turn into a demon and hissed at me causing me to wake up.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. The tapping on the door kept growing louder and louder. I grabbed a flashlight from the kitchen and opened the basement door. The chilly air touched my skin as I slowly went down the steps. Turning on the flashlight, nothing was truly there until I saw a washer and dryer machine. A heater and an old modeled car. "Its not bad in here..." I murmured.

The door slowly creaked and closed on me. "Shit!" I cussed as I ran up the steps. I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I kicked the door until I gave up. It grew colder. My flashlight was about to go out. "No, no, no. Don't die on me! I need you." I smacked the flashlight.

A witch like cackle rang and I pointed my flashlight to the ceiling. Then I heard it again. "Come out!" I yelled.

I pointed to the dryer and saw a girl in all white. It was the same girl in my dream.

She was sitting on the dryer blankly staring. I pointed my flashlight to her again as I came closer to her.

The girl in white snapped her head at me with her eyes glowing red. "Human soul. Human soul. Human soul." She kept repeating. Suddenly red eyes all around her appeared. They all chanted what the girl said. They were black shadows who walked like humans. I started to run up the stairs as the girl and her shadows followed me. I was far away from them as I was by the door. I kept kicking the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't even open. The click on the lock was vertical instead of horizontal. That made me panic even more.

"RAINA-AH! RAINA! RAINA-AH!" I yelled, pounding on the door. "DAMN!"

The girl was coming closer. I kicked the door until Uncle Dan opened the door.

"AH! Please save me!" I grabbed him.

"I've seen you met my children." Uncle Dan smiled.

"Children?" I looked up at him.

"Yessss... MY CHILDREN!" His voice grew deeper and his eyes turned green. "They all want you Kihyun."

The girl grabbed my ankle, causing me to fall. I held on to the door step. "Get me outta here!" I yelled.

"Oh there won't be any saving." Uncle Dan stooped down. "Once you're in there, you are in there. I'll tell my niece that you left for the night."

"No! NOO!" I screamed as Uncle Dan pushed my hand off. The girl dragged me down and the door slowly closed. Everything was pitched black.

"Uncle Dan, where's Kihyun oppa?" Raina asked. She yawned before she drunk her orange juice.

"He left for the night. He said he had to take care of personal things." Uncle Dan folded up the newspaper. "I'm off."

Raina watched her uncle leave out and sat her glass in the sink. She went out the kitchen and heard a sharp knock. Raina turned and slowly walked to the basement door as the knock grew louder. Raina gasped as the sign letters slowly changed from DO NOT ENTER! YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE! To HELP ME RAINA!

"Nice choice of clothes, this dress will fit you perfectly," the cashier smiled. Did he just flirt with me?

I smiled back uncomfortably knowing if my boyfriend saw this, this guy would probably be in so much trouble.

"Hey, candy, did that man say anything to you? Should I talk with him?" I heard my boyfriend's jealous voice.

"Aaagh, no, no, everything's alright, J, don't worry. I just bought these clothes," I said while lifting the plastic bag. "There's no need to talk with him, let's go."

"If you say so," he said with a suspiciously calm voice. I prayed in my mind and begged god to not let him do anything stupid this time. I've had enough of everything, I didn't need another absurd scene.

"Did you hear me? I said, let's go home, candy," he smiled with a funny smile that showed all of his front teeth. He was cheerful as ever, but I was worried, he wasn't his real self at this point, I knew it.

As we were walking down the hill, to reach our apartment, we stayed silent, just holding our hands. I peeked to look at his face, but it was blank. I couldn't understand his emotions and feelings at all.

When we reached our house, I unlocked the door and he rudely entered the house by kicking his shoes off. He threw his jacket on the hanger without looking and went to the kitchen in a hurry.

A sigh escaped my mouth. I was used to live like this, he easily got jealous over me and whenever other guys would talk to me, he would do crazy things. But this time was different and it was terrifying me.

"Come to the kitchen for a second!" He called me. I quickly hung his and my jacket on the hanger and took off my shoes. "I'm coming!"

I entered the kitchen with trembling legs and looked around, but he was nowhere to be seen. I walked up to the refrigerator and then I noticed him standing behind it. He was acting suspicious.

"What are you doing, Ja-" he cut me off by placing his hand on my mouth. My eyes popped out as I saw him holding a handcuff in his free hand. My body sank in panic as my boyfriend handcuffed my hands in a matter of few seconds. The handcuffs were cold and too small for my hands. He was still holding his hand over my mouth.

All of sudden, he slapped my face and stuffed an apple into my mouth. If my eyes weren't wide enough, they were definitely now. I tried to spit out the apple, but that was a worthless try, I almost choked with my own saliva.

"Hmmm, what should I do with this naughty girl?" He smirked while stroking my hair. "Maybe I should fix her hair first, what do you think?" he waved with kitchen scissors in front of my eyes and I heard a sound of my hair being cut. I shook my head with all my strength and I immediately regretted it - he was going to cut another tuft of hair, but he cut my skin instead of it.

I fell on the floor unintentionally and hit my head. Everything was spinning and being doubled in my eyes. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see two versions of my psycho boyfriend. Suddenly, I felt my body being lifted and I opened my eyes.

His eyes were different. He always had dark eyes, but not like this. I couldn't see the same person that I was living with. The person that I knew so well was gone.

My back reached cold ground. I was still bleeding, but fortunately, I managed to spit out the apple. My whole head hurt as it had several injuries, as well as my hands.

"You are mine. You are mine... and nobody else's. Nobody else will have you. Nobody else will ever see you. And even if they will see you, they won't want to look at your face after that scar you did to yourself, candy. You are mine."

Title: The Maiden: Curse Passed On

I have found such beauty in the dark, nevertheless, there was just as much horror in the dark.

But more of that, horror lies in the light.

It drags you in, takes your soul, and gives you no more reason to live.

It disguises itself as hope. The shining light of forgiveness.

Don't be fooled.

That's how they take you.

I am forced to write that. It's in my contract.

It is meant as a warning.

I, too, read something like this. That was before he showed up.

Before he showed up and took my life away.

Not literally, but after he came, there was no point in living.

You may know what happened when he introduced himself. Maybe a little of the scene that happened before that.

But you know nothing of what happened after.

I struggled, my weak arms and legs attempting and failing to break the chains.

Peering through my tears, I looked into the darkness around me.

Nothing.

I couldn't see anything.

The only thing I could see were the chains blinding me to the stone altar.

I felt a burning pain.

I looked and saw a small, cloud-like substance float from my chest. It's white light slowly dimmed, until it completely vanished.

Suddenly, I laid still. I didn't struggle. I didn't cry. I didn't feel any fear anymore. My head was empty. My breathing was steady. I had no desire. For anything.

"That was... delicious," the voice whispered into my ears. I remained still. "So pure. So innocent. So full of hope. Emotion."

I could feel the owner of the voice smirking.

"And now... it's mine. Another soul."

Suddenly, the chains clasped around my wrist and ankles ceased to exist. I sat up, my long, black hair covering my face. I felt a silky fabric set itself around me, flowing down just below my knees, the black fabric settling, like the fall of darkness at the beginning of the night.

The voice spoke up again. Somehow, I knew who it was. I could feel it. It was the only thing I could feel.

He spoke to me again. My master.

"Carry out my work, as the others did before you, in my name. In the name of the Lord."

I stood from the altar and walked into the darkness. ~

My eyes are now fixated on the back of whoever is reading this.

I have the crucifix that hangs around my neck in my hand.

The same one that I had reached for when Death had introduced himself to me.

The same one that had witnessed the death of the boy who picked up my bag after I dropped it.

Don't worry. I'm not behind you right now.

But I will be.

Soon.

In nomine domine.

Title: Doll eyes

Walking in the dark, I tried maintaining myself to the path where it's kind of bright. And there, just by a lamp post, I saw a man. He's looking at me, or rather, staring at me. I stayed away as much as possible, but every time I passed by each lamp post, he's there, as if I was going in a loop.

My thoughts made me shudder. Who was he? And why was he following me? Again, I tried staying away, but he started walking to me. I walked in a quick pace. I closed my eyes hoping he wouldn't get me.

I opened my eyes to see him gone. I looked at every side of mine and he wasn't there. I ran to my house. I grabbed the keys and tried opening it. It wasn't doing anything. The door was still locked. Then I noticed, the lights inside were switched on. My eyes started to widen. Was he there?

Terrified of unlocking the door, I tried to look for someone else. A boy, my age, passed by.

"Excuse me, could you help me? Please?", I asked him. He looked at me, straight into my eyes.

"What is it need you help with?", he asked back. I looked at the windows of my house finding no silhouette, then I looked back at him.

"My house is invaded.", I answered. He tilted his head.

"Invaded?", he asked again. I just nodded.

He walked towards the door and kicked it open. No one was inside but it was a total chaos. I entered the room first then I heard the door slammed close.

"You know.", the boy spoke up. I was scared. I was afraid of moving, but I have to.

"I have found so much beauty in the dark, nevertheless, there was just as much horror in the dark.", he said. It was him. The guy who was following me. I took a knife, just by the table and pointed it at him.

"You have wonderful eyes. What do you see?", he asked. I didn't speak nor made a sound. I held the knife tightly.

"It's bad pointing a knife at someone, you know.", he said. Our eyes never looked at anything but each other. I don't want to lose sight of him or else I'll die. He then charged at me. I tried stabbing him, but of course, I was inexperienced. He took the knife away from me. I ran for my life. I ran towards the door, but he grabbed my arm tightly.

"You'll be in safe hands, I promise.", he smiled. The smile was carved in my mind forever. I kept struggling until I felt a sharp pain at my chest. He stabbed me, with the knife I was supposed to use on him.

"Your eyes are too beautiful to be wasted.", he grinned. I was losing consciousness. I fell to the ground and the last words I heard were,

"So, I'll have to take them."
