Dami

A knife was on the floor.

A dull, silver knife.

Its end is as sharp as a painful goodbye.

      I saw a pair of legs walking towards my direction. I looked up to see Siyeon, saying something but her voice was mute, only her lips were moving.

       She grabbed the knife and walked towards me, a group of people were chasing her.

She looks like she was shouting at me. Her speed keeps up and she got nearer, wielding her knife.

Then my hair was grabbed harshly in her hands before she—

***

The dream halted with a cliffhanger. I pulled my hand away and scrambled up to my own good legs. I watched as the creature writhing in pain, floating in the air, its body twisted in  disturbing ways.

Its back twists and turns, jerking back and forth, its button eyes bulging out leaving its eye sockets. Its short tongue with no end wrapped around its neck, choking itself into suffocation.

It was a quick, painful death.

Its body exploded into slimy pieces, decorating the walls into abstracts. Its nonexistent organs splattered around us. Its blood dirtied our clothes.

      I felt a liquid dropping down my philtrum. I wiped it with my fingers to find out that my nose is bleeding. A red drop stained my white dress.

      Then black spots grows on my dress, peeling off the pure white color along with the red spot. The whites fall to the floor like dead leaves. My dress changed to fully black, just like Yoohyeon, Gahyeon, SuA and Handong's.

      I heard a tired moan from my right. The girl weakly sit up, grabbing her head in her hands and breathed rapidly. I helped her out, asking if she's okay. She doesn't seem to be in a state to answer, let alone to walk.

      The sound of a blowing wind pulled my attention away from the girl. The slimy goop crawls like maggots until it adjoined themselves into one piece. More crawling pieces joint but has yet to grow.

I saw Jungkook and Gahyeon raised their blades to their head, ready to attack.

      The black goop slowly took its shape, forming itself into an unreadable item. It was a slimy item that was nothing, until its color seeping into silver.

It was a silver knife, standing upright with its pointy end stabbed the floor.

      "I knew it", a voice echoed the hall. I looked up to see Siyeon walking down the hall, a menacing look towards someone she hates.

      It seems like she was staring at me, but it took me a while to find out that she was actually looking at the girl in my arms.

Realization clicks a switch in my mind.

The hall.

The knife.

A group of people.

And Siyeon.

This is the girl's dream!

***

I could sense a dark aura around her. As she get closer, the urge to run away from everything was high. But my legs couldn't seem to cooperate.

      Dami help me stand up, supporting my back. My mind went dizzy. A mild pain that was far weaker than when SuA did the dreamwalk on me.

        I saw the knife on the floor, the same knife Siyeon used to stab me in the face before Hoseok saved me.

      "Siyeon, where the heck have you—" Namjoon's words cut off as Siyeon pulled the knife from the floor in a swift. She pointed the knife in my direction with its pointy end.

      "No one can resist my beast and could get killed just like that. And you manage to stop it from killing everyone. Now I know why", she said menacingly as she pick up her speed.

"Because you're the dead one!" she shouted as she charges.

      I was in a daze when Dami cover for me. But Siyeon defeated her easily, pushing Dami on the floor. She grabbed my hair harshly and raise her knife above her head.

Then everything stop as time froze, my vision darkened once again.

***

Siyeon

Fire.

There was fire.

There's nothing else but fire around me.

Then came the burning pain on my skin, the unbearable heat feels like I'm in hell.

      I screamed and thrashed around for anywhere that doesn't have fire, desperately searching for water to put out the fire. But everything was covered with dancing flames.

      I looked behind me, a door opened to display a dried lavender field. A group of familiar people standing there, watching as everything burned down to naught.

      I screamed hysterically, over and over again, shouting for help, crying and begging for the pain to end.

      I ran for the outside, to get away from everything. My sins, my wrath, my greed.

But the end will always turn to ashe.

***

My head jerked backwards and I fell on my bottom from the impact. Chaos erupted around the hall. But I couldn't tell the source of the chaos as I was too preoccupied with the throbbing pain in my head and breathing difficulties in my lungs.

       I heard footsteps rushing towards me, hands pulling me up from the floor. I force myself to stable my body as soon as the pain subsided.

      Siyeon was screaming loudly, dropping the knife to the floor, the sound of clattering metal against the carpeted wood. Jimin, Gahyeon and Hoseok tried their best to hold her off. I watched her confusingly, then came the utter shock when her nose started to bleed.

      At the back of my mind, questions after questions linger if it could be an accidental dreamwalking.

      I don't know who was supporting me, but I know that it is time to do it.

To find out who I really am.
To search for the truth.
To acknowledge my real name.

      I looked at Namjoon. He stood there helping SuA to support her. When he noticed me, his expression was unreadable. I nod at him.

      There was hesitation that hold him off from doing what I plan. But I know he will do it.

Because I forced him to.

Namjoon

      "I need you to do something for me. And it's very simple", she assured without looking at me.

      I took in a deep breath through my mouth and asked, "What is it?"

      She stared back at me, making me tensed up as her sharp gaze was nothing like the No Name I know.

      "Promise me to never tell anyone about my plan. No one know this but you and me."

      I nodded, my mind was a complete mess after the dark threat she had risen within her dark heart.

      She stood up from the bed, exhaled a distressful sigh before she told me her plan.

"I need your ability when the right time comes", she trailed.

"Time for what?" I asked.

"The time when I will find out who I really am", she answered determinedly.

"Listen, Namjoon. I know this is hard to involve you into this. But you have to help me. This might be the only way to let you all escape from this nightmare!" she persuaded me, her arms travelling around the room.

I let out a groan, my heart started to thump from the nervousness of what's she's trying to aim. "What are you trying to say?" I asked.

      Her eyes met mine, staring deeply into my soul. "Either you do it, or you use your manipulating ability at someone else to do it", she spoke.

"What is it that you want me to do?" I asked impatiently.

Her wish was something I don't want to happen.

"No, I can't do it!" I objected.

"Namjoon, listen to me! Do you want to be the leader everyone looks up to, or do you want to be a hero and save everyone's life?"

Her words hit me hard in the core.

      I was back in reality, Siyeon was still mentally unstable while the others tried to calm her down. Taehyung stepped forward to tranquilize her to sleep, which took longer than expected since she's a type to resist.

       I shifted my attention to No Name, the girl with her suppressed anger as her wings to protect herself from harm. Now, she surrendered her wings to risk herself for others.

      I breathed in deeply, praying that this is the right thing to do. I glanced at the knife in the middle of it all and look at every one of us for me to choose to manipulate their minds.

Hoseok.
Taehyung.
Gahyeon.
Jimin.

They're too far and too busy handling Siyeon to do it.

SuA was in my arms, but she was too weak in a midst of recovering.

Then there was Handong, Jungkook, Yoohyeon and Dami. They're the closest to No Name at this time around.

And I was the only one left to decide.

I thought hard of the possibilities of what will happen if I were to do it. She asked me to choose, or it could be me to do it.

"If I fail to choose, who would you want me to manipulate?" I asked her shamelessly.

She spoke a name. A name I never expected to hear.

"W-why?" I stuttered.

She looked down to the floor, a look of guilt drawn on her face.

"So that person knows how dangerous I am to be closed with."

      Her voice echoed in my mind, in the darkness where a mysterious voice would guide me to the right path.

Then I made a choice.

      I looked at the person. As the person meets my eyes, I concentrated on my full spiritual energy manipulating the mind, to do what the person have to do.

That person has always been there for No Name.

That person never leaves her side.

The most cheerful despite the fear within.

And who I cared for deeply.

***

I watched as Namjoon was too focus on someone he chooses right after he glances at the knife. After a few seconds, he blinked his eyes a couple of times, a scared expression of what he had done.

"Thank you", I mouthed at him.

      A figure swiftly walked passed me and grab the knife. She grab my shoulder roughly, making me stumbling forward.

It all happen too fast, but I don't mind.

In a blink of an eye, the silver knife plunges into my chest, creating a hollow at my core. Black smokes escapes from the knife into thin air.

      The pain stings from the skin to the flesh, deep into my body. I widened my eyes out of the agonizing pain, sharply breathing through my mouth.

      My legs wobbled and I fell on the arms of my friend who did it without her consent. Her eyes returns its light after being manipulated, realising what she had done. She panicked and traumatized just by looking at me.

"No, No! I didn't mean to— No!" she cried loudly, droplets of tears dropped onto my face.

      Breathing became a challenge, a torture for me. My vision was starting to blur as well. I caressed my hand on her tear-stained cheeks and smiled sincerely at her, my cold hand can feel how hers are humanly warm.

I envied her.

When the other's voices was only a blurry echo in my ears as if I'm in a dark, lost tunnel, I knew that I almost ran out of time to say what I needed to say.

I say my last words before a candle blew out the light into nothingness.

"I'm sorry, Yoohyeon."
