My last story (that I wrote randomly ages ago and never posted)

Note: Story is probably bad. Well they all kind of are...


   The soft patter of the rain echoed around the dilapidated estate. Minho hated taking shortcuts but he was an hour late for practice thanks to Changmin holding him up. But he felt couldn't leave him in the state he was in. He had been crying his eyes out again. SM keeping him away from his JYJ hyungs was really getting to him again. Yunho didn't know how to calm him down. He had always been awkward around Changmin whenever he broke down. Yunho preferred to bottle up his emotions when other people were around.
  The rain got heavier and Minho cursed himself for not bringing an umbrella. Key had reminded him this morning that it was going to rain but had he listened to him?! He pulled his hood down further so that it covered his eyes and pressed on.
   As he rounded the corner he noticed a small alley cutting through the estate. It would lead him out two streets away from their practice room and cut 15 minutes out of the journey. Without a second thought he darted into the dark, damp alley. He looked up to the sky and noticed how little of it he could see. The buildings either side were so close together the rain wasn't even getting in. He lowered his hood and continued walking briskly into the alley.
   Suddenly two pairs of strong hands grabbed onto his shoulders and pulled him backwards. He let out a shocked gasp as he slammed into the wall. His breath was knocked out of him as a large fist swung around and connected with his stomach.
   "What are you doing?!" a female voice shouted out from the end of the alley. The figure ran towards the two large ones in front of him.
   "Ah, we were just...eh..." one of the began.
   "He's in our territory!!" the other butted in.
    The new arrival bent down and looked into Minho's crumpled face as he held his stomach and tried to regain his breath. "A pretty boy, eh? Well you know what boss said to do if we find any around here," she smirked as she beckoned the two men forward and stepped back.
   "Yes Ma'am!" they replied and immediately began to beat Minho to a pulp.
   "Minho?" another voice called out from a distance. A large shadow cast across the mouth of the alley as the owner of that voice paused and gazed into the alley.
   "Got a problem?!" the woman spat at the tall man now walking slowly towards the action.
   "MINHO!!" Changmin roared as he realised it was his friend being beaten. He dived forward brandishing the umbrella he had been carrying and whacking one of the men.
   The man stumbled backwards and looked towards the woman his eyes wide, "What do we do now, Lily?"
   Just as she was about to answer Changmin had pulled the other guy off of Minho and pushed him into a dumpster. The man shouted out in pain as his back crunched against the metal. He wobbled up and began limping away from the scene closely followed by the other man.
   "Minho..Minho..Talk to me! Are you ok?!" Changmin fretted as he bent down to his dongsaeng and check out his badly bruised face.
   Minho's eyes peeled open and he smiled up to his hyung. "What are you doing here?" he spluttered as some blood came out with his words.
   "I noticed you didn't have an umbrella. And I didn't want you getting sick," he smiled back weakly.
   Changmin froze. He suddenly felt a cold object up against his neck. The knife imprinted on his sun kissed skin as it pressed harder into him.
   "Oh look at the brave rescuer. In need of rescuing now, aren't we?" Lily maliciously laughed out.
   Changmin gulped and closed his eyes, willing himself not to shake.
   All of a sudden Changmin threw his head back causing Lily to stumble backwards, the knife falling from her grasped. He leaped upwards to snatch the knife before it hit the ground. He then stepped forward and rammed the blade deep into her chest. She dropped to her knees, wide eyed and looked up into her killers eyes. His hard expression sent a pang of guilt into the fire building up within her. She would have screamed, but she was in so much shock all she could do for her last few seconds was stare into those piercing brown eyes until she collapsed on the ground, spilling blood all around her.
   Changmin grabbed Minho and dragged him upwards. He turned around and helped his friend climb onto his back. After a minute of trying to get Minho balanced on him, he began to trudge forward out of the dark alley not looking back at the pool of blood that had flown out from the lifeless body and the blue eyes that will haunt his nights from this day forth.





Yeah...So that's my last crappy story. How appropriate that I actually properly die this time! ^_^ (Note: It was originally Minho who was supposed to die, then I changed my mind to Changmin but then I decided not to upset anyone and just kill off me!...again) No more this year due to exams and etc. But you never know..I might randomly write one while I'm pissed off at the amount of pointless information I must ram into my head.

Shattered

I have no idea where this one came from...I was in an odd, melancholic type mood~

Panicked thoughts erupted through Changmin's mind as he lay on the cold hard ground, "I can't breathe!! Why can't I breathe?!!!"
A sharp wind blew his brown hair to the left and sent a shiver down his otherwise motionless body. His dark eyes were wide and darting around the scenery. His brain couldn't comprehend what had happened. He didn't even know where he was. All was dark and unrecognisable.
Using most of his strength he tried to lift his hand up slowly. An agonising pain struck him and he stopped immediately. His hand now resting back on the empty ground he managed to inhale some air.
After a while his breathing became more frequent and steady. He slowly relaxed. This was not how he had ever pictured his death but lying paralysed on the hard ground surrounded by dark blurs was how it was going to be.
Slowly the darkness around him began to fade away as a sharp light slowly consumed the place around his frozen body.
"This is it.." he thought to himself, slightly disappointed but accepting his fate.
A warm hand grasped onto his cold one. It sent its warmth through his body and he tried to smile at whatever it was who was taking him from this mess. He could hear a muffled sound off in the distance as if someone was calling him. Little by little the sound got louder and louder as his head cleared up enough to allow him to hear.
"Sir...Sir...Are you ok?" the voice cried out.
"Why did this creature, this angel sound so worried? None of that matters anymore," he wondered.
"Sir....I hit you with my car...The ambulance is on its way! Sir...Can you speak to me?!" it said just as loudly as before but it seemed to scream to Changmin's ears.
He lay there, paralysed, as the sirens shrieked out in the background.
He lay there, paralysed, as he realised it wasn't death he faced.
He lay there, paralysed, as the world moved on without him.

Training~ M&D oneshot

The blood pumped out slowly, pouring into his mouth as he drank the warm substance. Feeling it slide down his throat he shivered slightly at the new feeling.
"That's enough, Jungmo," a voice called from the shadows.
Jungmo reluctantly pulled away from the shaking woman and looked over at the figure standing still just out of sight of his victim.
"Good. Now close your mouth, you're dripping blood onto the ground," the voice sniffed, disgusted. "You don't want to leave a mess behind. Or miss an opportunity for more blood."
The owner of the voice stepped out from the shadows. His dark hair shone in the moonlight as glanced down at his new apprentice crouching beside the terrified woman.
"And Jungmo, try and get a vein next time!" he sighed.
"Sorry.." Jungmo mumbled back, his hands shaking from the fresh blood now within him.
"Now," his creator said as he bent down to face the shaking woman. "I'm Heechul. I'm going to finish up this job for you tonight." He smiled wickedly and dived onto the woman, his pearl white fangs ripping open her neck and draining her of all the blood left within her.
"Hyung!" Jungmo shouted. "I thought I was going to drain someone tonight!"
Heechul straightened up, licking his blood covered lips. "Some other time, maybe..." he smirked as he patted Jungmo's head.
"Some selfish creator you are.." Jungmo muttered angrily under his breath.
A hand swiftly flicked through the air and smacked Jungmo on the head. He shouted out in protest.
"Are you forgetting about vampire's amazing hearing?" Heechul chuckled as he hit his dongsaeng again. "Come along now."
Jungmo clambered up, rubbing his head where Heechul's hand had smacked. "You know if I was still human I'd have a lump where you just hit me!" he called out angrily.
"You should thank me then!" Heechul smirked back as he drifted off into the night, his reluctant dongsaeng following suit.

Linseung oneshot~

~Down. Down.~

 ~I was falling.~ 

 ~Into the darkness.~ 

 ~It engulfed me in its clasp. I couldn't breathe. It had taken me too far this time. I can never come back from here.~ 

 ~~ 

   As Hyunseung rested his head once again on the solid floor all the memories of what had past flooded his mind. It was as it a switch was flipped and everything came back. What had happened that night. What he had done. And what he hadn't.

  A soft groan echoed out between his chapped lips. This was the last time, he promised himself. Never again, never again... 

 ~~ 

   "Oppa, what's wrong?" she called anxiously. He met her worried gaze but his blank eyes merely passed by her as if she wasn't really there. "I'm calling the doctor!"

    She leapt up from the ground where she had knelt down and ran for the phone. She picked it up and cursed under her breath as no sound emitted from the device.

   "The phone's out..Must be the electricity or something.." she mumbled to herself as she tried to flick on the light. "Yep, nothings working!"

   She glanced back down to the figure still lying on the ground. He hadn't moved an inch. He just lay there unresponsive staring blankly around the walls of the kitchen he had spent the past year in. This time as his eyes slid to hers they focused. He gasped and outstretched his hand towards his girlfriend.

 
  "Linn.." his raspy dry voice called out. Linn ran towards him and grabbed the outstretched hand, squeezing it tight.

   "Oppa..Oppa tell me what happened. Why are you like this?" she questioned, her eyes searching his glazed orbs.

   "Y-you don't remember...?"

   She shook her head and he collapsed backwards onto the cold hard floor. She screamed out as his breathing became more laboured. She began to pound on his chest then stopped suddenly. He wasn't having trouble breathing. He was crying.

 ~~ 

   "O-oppa.." she choked out. He opened his eyes a fraction and the raw eyes met her tear filled ones.

   "I'm not even able to cry any more.." he whispered out.

   "What happened? Why are you crying?" she sobbed out.

   He placed his hand on her face and began stroking her cheek, wiping every tear that fell. "I..I can't.." he mumbled as he tore his eyes away from her once again.

   "Let's go see the doctor. I think there is something wrong with you," she said as she cleared her throat. Placing a hand behind his back she helped him to his feet. He stood there unsteadily at first but she kept a firm grip so he wouldn't fall. Eventually he had composed himself enough to slowly limp forward.

 ~~

   The door slid open with a slight groan as if it was a chore for it to open itself to let the two people out. Linn frowned. The door had never made that sound before, she thought. Soon her attention was drawn back to her boyfriend as he stumbled out the doorstep.

   "Oppa be caref-"

   "I'm fine.." he cut her off.

   "I just thought..Never mind!" she tried to smile but gave up after seeing the tired weak expression on Hyunseung's face. The bright sunlight lit up his features and made it obvious to her that she was doing the right thing. He needed a doctor.

   "Let's go," she said half to herself.

 ~~

   Linn gasped and turned to face her pale boyfriend.

   "W-what's going on-n..?" she exclaimed.

   The streets were completely empty of people. The shops were empty of stock. The path and road seemed old. It was worn and even cracked in places. The sun glowed bright red in the sky and the sky was pale white even though there was no clouds.

   "Oppa..? Wha- How..?" she panicked as she spun around and buildings started to grow in front of her very eyes. They swarmed up around them.

   She felt like she was being suffocated. The air had grown thin and her eyes were going out of focus. She grasped Hyunseung tightly.

  "I'm so sorry.." he repeated over in her ear.

   "Wae?" she chocked out. "What is this p-place?"

   "This..this is my nightmare," he swallowed hard before continuing. "I- I'm trapped here since.."

   She looked up at him and felt her last breath approaching. A force was dragging her backwards away from this place.
  

   "...since I killed you..." he whispered out as his girlfriend collapsed in his lap just as she did that night. The night they both died.

   "I'm in hell.." he cried out as her body disappeared from his hands. He lay back on the cold ground once again and waited for the nightmare to begin again.

~~~~

They came in the night. Their shadows creeped past the barricades, gently caressing the walls. Not a sound could be heard from them, not even a whisper of a breath.
A dog howled in the distance as the half milky white moon lit their path.
Tonight was the night.
~
A pair of gloved hands pressed onto the pane of glass. They slid down soundlessly and pinched the window frame. After a moment they withdrew from their position and the figure nodded at the dark shapes surrounding it.
A taller figure emerged and they produced a small silver object from behind. There was a small *click* sound as the silver object emitted a bright green beam. The window slid open and the figure placed the silver object back.
The first figure then smoothly climbed in and disappeared into the large building.
~
Ten minutes later a loud siren went off. All the light surrounding the large building flickered on. The four figures who had stayed patiently waiting outside looked around, confused. They were all clothed in black to keep a low profile but with the lights on they stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Go!" one of them shouted and they all split up. One dived into the window, closely followed by the tallest, the other two stealthily ran back past the barricades and out of sight.
~
"Forth floor!" the smaller man muttered as he reached the lift. He impatiently pressed the button repeatedly as he waited for the doors to open.
"No!" the taller man shouted, rounding the corner to see the door slid open. He dived forward and knocked the smaller man in through the open door to the stairway.
"What are you-" he hissed before the taller man put a hand over his mouth. Both of them lay crumpled on the ground as they heard voices from outside.
"Hyung.." one of them whined, "Why do we have to leave at this time? Aren't we not supposed to be looking for the intruders..?"
Jonghyun walked past the door, dragging Key behind him. Neither of them noticed the two men tangled on the ground.
"Somebody else will find them!" Jonghyun replied impatiently. "Now come ON!! Let's have some fun!"
Their laughter faded into the background as the hurried away.
The small man leaped from the ground and straightened himself up. "Thanks.." he mumbled.
"GD, have you forgotten everything we were taught in training?" the taller man chuckled while he picked himself up.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never take the lift because someone could be in it, or trap you in it..I got it TOP!" GD replied, waving his hands in the air. "Now let's go!"
They both began sprinting up the stairs with their eyes fixed on the door marked four.
~~~
"Take my hand," he whispered gently.
She stood there, wide eyed. She never thought that this would actually become a reality. They had talked about it so much but she had given up on the idea of it working out.
As the sirens blared out around them, Onew stumbled back into the room. "Umm..My bad!" he mumbled apologetically. "I kind of tripped and well..."
"No time for this," at this point the man grabbed the girl's hand and began to run for the nearest exit. "Come on Shauna!"
"TAEYANG!!" she squealed in fright at his sudden action.
~
Taeyang ran out from the dark room that had imprisoned Shauna for the past few months and into the blinding light of the corridor. His fingers pressed tightly around hers as they rounded the corner.
"WAIT!" Onew screamed behind them. "Wrong way.."
Taeyang threw his eyes up into the air and all three turned back.
"Not so fast!" spat out an annoyed voice a little further up the corridor. Sica stood there with her hands on her hips and an angry expression on her face. "Where do you think you're going with MY best friend?!!"
Onew screamed as she lunged forward, her nails digging into his shirt.
"Out of my way dubu!!" she snapped.
Onew continued to stand there shielding the other two. "Back...second left..." he muttered in-between Sica's screams of annoyance.
Taeyang jumped into action, he nodded quickly and the two made their way back down the corridor. The sound of Sica's shrieks echoing behind them.
"Uh oh.." Shauna whispered and stopped dead in her tracks.
"What?" Taeyang replied, concerned, then followed he gaze to see what now faced them.
~
"AHHHHH!!!!" Shindong yelled out as he ran towards the couple.
"What is-" Shauna began.
*BANG* The second door on the left burst open just as Shindong was running by it. It swung open and knocked him sidewards. A dark shape flew out from the doorway and kicked Shindong making him fall flat on the ground. The sledgehammer he was carrying smacked on the floor beside him, the wooden handle hitting his head and knocking him out cold.
"For a big guy that was easy!" GD laughed.
"Now, what trouble have you guys gotten into?" TOP smirked at the couple.
"Blame a certain clumsy person who helped us get in here in the first place.." Taeyang muttered displeased.
"What? Did he trip over and set of the alarm?" GD asked through giggles.
"Probably.." Taeyang shrugged.
"Come on, let's get out of here!" Shauna said, jolting the men back to reality. They all nodded and rushed into the door to the stairs.
~
A hand flew out and punched TOP in the cheek with a loud crunching sound. All four people stopped and spun around only to see Heechul jump and land the other side of them.
"What the..?!" TOP mumbled as he spat out a bit of blood.
"I now posses the almighty ninja power of the Dark Purple Line Club! You cannot defeat me!" Heechul cried out. He was wide eyed and hopping up and down with his fists in the air, refusing to take his gaze of the four.
Taeyang ran forward and Shauna squealed as Heechul's fist connected with his stomach. He fell down, gasping for air. The other two men snapped into action, TOP aimed for Heechul's face as GD went for his stomach. TOP's fist was blocked as quick as lightning and with Heechul's other hand he grabbed GD's foot and pull him forward, sending him down the stairs with a crash. Every punch TOP sent at him was quickly deflected and he hopped closer to Shauna.
She screamed as the deranged man edged next to her. Suddenly he fell forward and stumbled across the banister, falling down four floors and smashing onto the ground below. Taeyang smiled up from the floor as he pulled his leg back beside him and got up. Shauna ran into his arms and he held her close as she began shaking.
"Don't worry," he soothed, "we will get out of here now."
GD rejoined them slowly, hopping on one foot. "Think I might have broken my foot," he cursed angrily. TOP leaned down and his injured friend climbed onto his back.
~
"Someone's down there," GD whispered and they all stopped in the middle of the second staircase.
"Who?" Taeyang whispered back, readying himself for another battle as Shauna peered over the banister.
"Some red haired guy..." she trailed off.
Taemin stood there at the bottom of the stairs, looking closely at Heechul on the ground. "He's going to be pissed when he finds out someone broke his robot!" he tutted before leaving again.
"Well that makes sense," TOP sighed.
~
The four finally reached the ground floor. They edged their way carefully over to the door. Taeyang peeked out and gestured to the rest that it was all clear. They all sneaked out, trying to get to the exit as quick as possible.
Taeyang ran forward and grabbed the handle of the front door. "Locked!" he cursed.
"Well what did you expect?" they spun around to see a bored Changmin sitting behind the main desk, spinning around in the chair.
He stood up just as Taeyang made his way towards him. "Nahh.." he shrugged. "The kitchen being open and empty is more important to me than bothering to fight with you." With that he left the smaller man standing there confused and walked off to get food.
"Never mind him.." Shauna rolled her eyes. "He's always been weird. Now! How did you get in here in the first place?"
"The window!" the three men all cried in unison.
~
"Yah!" a voice called sharply. "What are you doing at my window?!"
Jaejoong climbed in from the outside. "Find your own window next time! I can't have everyone know that my Yunnie takes off the second lock on this one or he'll get in trouble and I will not be a funny bunny, honey!" He marched out of the room as the others exchanged weird looks.
"Okkk..." TOP broke the silence. "He'a weirder than GD!"
"Yah!" his injured friend playfully hit him on the shoulder.
"Let's go," Taeyang chuckled.
~
"Where the hell.." GD couldn't finish off his sentence as the black jeep pulled up in front of them.
"Of course somebody had to get a bit carried away!" Daesung smirked as jumped out and helped TOP put the injured GD into the passengers seat before clambering back in followed by TOP.
"You ok?" Taeyang whispered, looking into Shauna's moonlit face.
She nodded slowly. "Now I am."
He smiled and wrapped his arms carefully around his yeobo's waist and kissed her softly on her lips. They both then climbed into the back of the jeep and held each other close as they drove off.

Asthenia ~ Part Two

Asthenia ~ Part Two

(I got annoyed with what I had written so I decided to split off the bit I was happy with and continue with the other part, trying to improve it somehow...Maybe I should really plan a fanfic before I start writing it..?)




It had been two weeks since that nightmare but Minho still heard the dark malevolent voice echo in his head and the soft whimpers seemed to never leave his mind. Linn knew something was wrong. If he seemed bad on the first day, the next one was awful! He had totally switched off. Drew away from everything. Something had happen. And Linn had to know what.
One dark Tuesday night she decided to approach him. She knew where he would be, it was where he spent most of his time. He sat upon a moss-covered step that led up to the abandoned caretakers cabin. It was a secluded spot. Perfect.

~~

"Minho..?" she called gently. He didn't look up. He knew it was her, she sometimes visited the spot, knowing he would be there with his usual distant look in his eyes. "Come with me."
He glanced up at her, slightly taken aback. Usually she would just sit with him as he tried to recall all the memories, or maybe they were delusions. Linn stretched out her hand in front of him and patiently waited for him to decide.
Eventually his warm fingers grasped around her palm and he stood up. Nodding at her slowly he mumbled "Where..?"
"You'll see."
He raised an eyebrow and she just smiled and dragged him away from his personal prison.

~~

"I've been researching," she informed him. He cocked his head to the side and she quickly added, "You."
"Oh.." he whispered.
"Yes. It seems Choi Minho is a difficult person to come by. But not impossible! After a long time searching I eventually found this."
She placed a small bundle of sheets in his hands. He looked down at them closely. Snapping his head up he shouted out, "Where did you get this?!"

~~

"You really know the best people to hang out with, don't you?!" I spat sarcastically at him. I shouldn't be this hard on him. I know I shouldn't. But I couldn't stop myself. All this anger that had built up from..
"Hyung, I'm so so sorry," he gasped between his silent tears. I hadn't noticed he was crying. I should have. Now I've just made it worse.

~~

"I'm s-sorry," she whispered, taken aback by his sudden anger. "I didn't think it was that.."
"It is!" he snapped. "It is...."
At that he dropped the papers on the ground and ran from the room.

I have to get out. I have to find him.

"Yah!" Linn shouted after him. "You're a B5 remember!"
But her warning was too weak to penetrate his determined mind. As soon as he reached the metal gates that barred the facility from the rest of the world he realised that this wasn't going to be as easy as he had thought. He leaped forward onto the smooth large bars and began the slow process of climbing up.
Shouts from not too far away started ringing out but he ignored them and continued. A loud siren rang out and he fell to the ground as the electricity switch was turned on.
He lay motionless as the guards gathered around him.
"Stupid kid.." one of them muttered.

~~
"Minho oppa!" Linn gasped. It was the first time in two weeks she had seen him. Ever since the day he tried to run he had disappeared from everyone's knowledge. That's just how things work here. Nobody asks questions, nobody thinks at all.
Linn ran forward and stopped just short of him. She looked up into the brown eyes and the worry that had led to sleepless nights for her resurfaced. His eyes were blank, distant, confused.
"Umm..me?" he mumbled slowly pointing a slender finger at his chest. "Minho?"
He glanced down at the blond girl in front of him.

~~

"MINHO!!!" he screamed. Who was he? And why was he screaming like that?

Asthenia ~ Part One

Linnie~ Welcome home! ;P

(This is named after a song none of you know. It's by Blink-182 and I listened to it a lot while writing this so I thought I might as well call it that! Plus I googled it and it means "weakness" which I think is pretty cool.~)

"Wake up!" the loud voice boomed as a hand slapped the sleeping boy's head. The boy groaned and turned over, not wanting to get up.  

"Hyung!!" the voice had screamed. 

He jumped from his bed and looked around tentatively. The others shot him confused looks. 
"What the hell is up with the new guy?" one of them mumbled to another who shrugged apathetically and walked off. 

~~ 

As the hall emptied the boy stood there in a daze.  

Was he crying?

Endless thoughts of what had happened racked his brain but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember. At all. He wasn't even sure if there was anything to remember in the first place. But something felt odd. Different. And he would get sudden flashes of images in his head. Ones that left him in a state of shock.

~~ 

 "Aren't you supposed to be going somewhere?" a voice called gently from behind him.
He whipped his head around to see a blond girl standing there, hands on her hips and a curious expression on her face. 

"Umm.." he stumbled across any response. "Am I?" 

The girl stared at him in shock. "You-you do realise what kind of a place this is?" she exclaimed. "You can't just wander aimlessly around here. They won't like that at all." 

"Who?" he wondered.
Again she shot him that look, the one that made him feel like an alien on a distant planet. "Are you serious?!!" His innocent confused eyes met hers and she took a step back. "Omo. You really don't know.."  

Sharp footsteps were audible approaching them. The boy looked past the blond girl to where they were coming from. The sound seemed strangely familiar, like he had heard it in a dream.
The girl gasped and grabbed his arm, pulling him off down the corridor away from the footsteps. 

After a few minutes spent running from hall to hall the girl slid open a door and darted into the dark room, pulling the boy with her. They stood there for a moment, gasping for breath and listening out for the footsteps. When they heard nothing they both sighed with relief. 

"You..you're the new guy right?" she said looking up into his deep, lost looking, brown eyes.
"I..I must be..I can't really remember.." he frowned. 

She gazed at him curiously. "What do you mean you can't remember?" 

"I woke up here and well..I don't know how I got here or what happened before..Just some snaps of what might have.." he whispered as the reality of his situation finally hit him. 

The girl bit her lip. She had heard this same story before, more than once. 

~~ 

"W-what's your name? Do you know that much?" she finally broke the silence that had formed.
The boy paused, racking his brain for a response. Suddenly she noticed that his eyes had began to tear up and he was clearly fighting hard to keep himself under control. His hands began to shake and he shook his head. 

"Oh.." she felt pity on the boy. He was a bit older than her but she could see that he was lost and needed help. She looked up into his glazed eyes and smiled brightly. "Don't worry," she soothed. "I'll help you remember." 

He couldn't help but to smile down at her. He hadn't known this girl for an hour and already she was willing to help him. He was relieved but part of him felt as if he might not want to know what had happened. 

"Thank you," he whispered after taking time to calm himself down. 

"No problem," she beamed. "Oh, and I'm Linn by the way." 

~~ 

"This is the dorm you woke up in, right?" Linn called out to the boy following close behind her.
He looked around slowly and then nodded. 

"Yes, there is where I woke up." He pointed to the only bed in the room that didn't have neatly folded sheets.
"Could have guessed that.." Linn muttered. "You always have to fold your bed sheets neatly like the rest. Or..well..never mind about that.." 

He looked at her curiously, wondering whether he really should be curious about what it was she was keeping from him.
She glanced back and noticed his furrowed brows. Smiling brightly to try lighten the mood she called, "Well, let's see if there's any clues here to who you are!"
He nodded in reply and joined her in searching the bed and it's surroundings. 

Suddenly he gasped. Linn turned around quickly and dropped the book she had been leafing through as she noticed a small piece of paper in the boy's shaking hands.
"Yes.." he whispered. "This is it." His grip on the paper loosened and it fell downwards. 

Linn reached out and grabbed it before it fluttered to the ground. The paper read:

~Choi Minho~ 

~9/12/91~ 

~Dorm 7~ 

~Full term B5~ 

 "Oh."
That's all she could say. 

Minho, Choi Minho. 

Her suspicion had been confirmed, he was like those few others. She stared at the paper again. 

"B5.." she sighed. 

~~ 

"MINHO!!!" he screamed. But I couldn't get to him. Not in time. 

~~ 

"W-what does that m-m-mean?" he stuttered pointing to the B5.
Linn looked up into his dark eyes. She gave him a weak smile. She couldn't lie. 

"It means...It means.." she took a large breath before continuing. "It means that you are being held here. That they can use whatever..force..is necessary to keep you here..." She trailed off. 

"What happened?" Minho thought aloud. "All I remember is the screams.." 

Suddenly his arms shot out and his large hands clasped around Linn's arms. His nails slightly digging into her, he pulled her over directly in front of him. "Help me," his voice was filled with desperation. "Something happened. Something bad. I have to know what!" 

She tried to pull back gently from his tightening grip. "I will." 

"Promise?" he almost shouted at her. 

"I p-promise." 

"Thank you." 

Before Linn could break free from him he pulled her into a hug. She stood there for a moment in shock as his arms held her close. After a while he let go and looked down in sudden embarrassment from his rash actions. 

"Sorry.." he muttered quietly.

"Do you think that this is enough?!!" the voice spat at me. "Get back to the gutter you dog! There's no place for you here. And take your little bitch too!"
He shoved me away and then smashed his fist into the back of the boy in front of me. He looked familiar. 

The boy let out a yelp of pain and fell to the ground. The man laughed, "Maybe we'll take this bitch for ourselves. Seems like fun, doesn't he?" The others around him who had watched earlier now nodded, twisted smiled on each of their faces.
It filled me with disgust. 

"No!" I shouted as I reached forward to grab onto my fallen friend. A hand whipped out and snatched my outstretched arm and twisted it behind my back.
"Oh well you have asked for it," the man called maliciously. "Let the fun begin!"
