who you gonna call? (winchesters!) ~ k. br.
a/n: raaaahhh happy SuA day!!! a little late on the international end of things but it's better late than never, right? anyways enjoy this fic, I had so much fun writing it that I may get back into watching supernatural. :) also the title is based on an edit of the winchesters brothers to 'ghostbusters' by ray parker jr!
I normally don't do a separate trigger warning for specific triggers, but since this is the first time that a piece of work has touched on such a serious topic, I wanted to put a big disclaimer out there. There is a scene in the fic where suicide is discussed as a possible cause of death. There's isn't any more graphic of a description than the word being thrown around once or twice; however, I feel it is my responsibility as an author to inform you of this. That being said, if you or a loved one are struggling, here's a list of international suicide hotlines that can help you if you need them. take care of yourselves, my loves, and remember that you all are beloved by me. ❤️
tw: BRIEF MENTION OF SUICIDE, main character death, lots of blood and gore in this one, not accurate to the Supernatural episode (Season 1, Episode 5) that it is based on, reader's parents died at an early age, it's a mixed bag of angst, fluff, and hurt/comfort with an open ending
summary: after one of the worst nights of your life, a pair of "reporters" roll into town and ask you questions about your dead friend. unfortunately, one of the girls, SuA, is a bit too charming for her own good. your curiosity towards the girl brings you closer to her, and it brings SuA closer to solving your friend's death, as well as the death of your parents.

—----/—--------------------/—------------------
You who wandered at night…
adventures like no other, ones that would suffice your hunger for the time being,
Usually cold and lonely, the stars had another plan for this night
————-
In the Crimson Kingdom, witch hunt wasn’t something born from the last rain, although it was always a sport that was hidden from the public.
The King was very well aware of the plague that dispersed throughout his kingdom. Witches' covens kept appearing and children disappearing for what he only assumed was the conversion of their beliefs and maybe far worse.
You? You didn’t believe those rumors. Why would people with such powers be interested in the common mortal?
You were an orphan, abandoned at a young age and retrieved from a crumbling barn. Although grateful to them, you never liked your adoptive family, resulting in you wandering around at night. Never opting on staying in their home.
Stealing anything one could here and there to survive. Sometimes you’d bring some food to your adoptive family’s dog. You kept telling yourself that one day you’d be able to bring him with you, save him from the famine he would live on and off of.
Your life consisted of sleeping in abandoned buildings during the day and wandering at night for necessities. When necessary, you’d wash your dirty body and clothes in the small river near the village, drying your clothes on the tree branches around. Luckily, your leather cape was never one to require much cleaning, giving you something to keep warm while your clothes dried.
You laid by the roots of a tree. Leather cape caressing your bare body to hide it from any wandering eyes. After this long night, your eyes felt heavy, invisible weight attached to each of your eyelashes. You let yourself indulge in the tranquility of the night before drifting off. While the night would scare most away, you loved the darkness and the comfort it would bring you. Feeling as though the empty space around you was filled with loving entities whom you could only wish were from the physical realm.
Satisfied with your day, or night that is, you finally let your eyes close.
—-
You were woken up by distant shouts. Your body immediately shot up at the sound, quickly grabbing some of your clothes to cover.
You succeeded in dressing yourself in underwear before hearing another shout, this time closer. You squinted at the horizon before a small hooded figure ran past you.
Must be one of those bandits running away from the guards…
Realization hit you then
‘’Wait, I also am a bandit.’’ You cursed yourself before ducking under the roots of a tree.
‘’How lucky of me’’ you gritted through your teeth. Of course, another bandit had to cross your path and bring along some guards!
You hid and held your breath. You watched as a few men dressed in the Crimson’s palace color passed by. ‘’Why were they here anyway?’’ you wondered, your eyes never losing sight of the threat.
You felt something gently butt itself against your bare leg. Slightly turning around, you noticed the culprit. A black cat. Although it seemed to like you, you weren’t so sure about the creature. Opting to push it away from you, scared it would your position away.
‘’Psst, not now’’ you reprimanded the cat before it meowed at you. Your heart stopped. ‘’Why did you have to be so loud?’’ you cursed at it, whispering for it to leave you alone.
Once your attention was turned back to the guards, you noticed one wandering close to your hideout.
‘’I believe to have heard a cat around here sir’’ one exclaimed
‘’The witch might have transformed into a cat to escape us, you may now search for the small animal’’ What seemed to be the leader of the group replied.
‘’Witches?’’
*meow*
Your eyes went wide as you stared back at the nonchalant creature. You were about to scold it but were stopped by a loud voice ordering you to get out of hiding. You cursed under your breath, staring back at the guard.
You fainted surrendering before making a run for it.
You heard loud shouts following behind as you ran between the bushes and trees. Although you were quite agile, an unexpected obstacle seemed to have stopped you.
The unknown obstacle forced you to the ground, making you fall to then be pulled away.
You were pulled under a tree before a hand made its way onto your face. Your eyes were now filled with fear and panic, thinking you were caught and would be executed for all your crimes.
But at last, you were met with the reassuring gaze of an unknown woman. She shushed you, pinning you down to the ground to assure you wouldn't make any noises.
The both of you stayed hidden for a few minutes, her body above yours and her hand still stopping you from making any noise.
When she judged the coast was clear, she pushed herself off of you, finally letting you breathe.
You looked at her, still a bit shocked
‘’Who are you?’’
‘’I see, I suppose I shall present myself first’’ she smiled, ‘’You may call me Sua, although I believe we won't meet again’’ she harshly stated
You stayed silent, trying to analyze her attire. Your guess was for her to be a bandit, but she looked at you, and you noticed glyphs marked on her neck and hands.
‘’ You’re a Witch?’’
‘’And you’re half naked’’ she stated with a small smirk
The words made you jump, realizing you indeed had no more than a few pieces of clothing on. You quickly tried hiding with whatever was at your reach, making her laugh.
Her eyes wandered up and down your body before looking back to your eyes again. ‘’Well if you’d excuse me, I will be on my way…dear stranger’’ she winked before exiting from under the tree.
‘’It’s Y/n’’ you replied to her, still flustered from the encounter. She simply nodded at you with a smirk before completely disappearing.
You pulled yourself out from under the tree, covered with dirt on some of your freshly washed clothes. You dusted yourself before making your way back to where the rest of your clothes were hanging.
You pulled each piece from the branches before covering yourself with them.
As you did, you caught yourself thinking about your earlier encounter. ‘’Looks like there are some witches in town’’
You couldn't remember the last time you’d seen royal guards around these parts of town. The only reason they were ever sent here was for their so-called witch hunting, ordered by the king.
But the woman you crossed paths with did not seem to be much of a treat. Maybe she had been no more then a a bandit, like you.
—-
The sun having once again fallen, you prepared for your nightly excursion.
You gathered your dagger and a satchel before exiting your refuge from the night before, an abandoned farm not far from the river.
You entered the quiet streets of the village. Flames flickering, fire embers flying around and the unmistakable smell of booze was now surrounding you. Regardless of the few drunken villagers stumbling around, you weren’t to be stopped from your nightly errands. You were reminded of it when your stomach grumbled yet again.
You would usually stick to this part of town, one of the less enriched portions of it. But tonight, you felt like daring your luck as you stepped closer to the richer portion of town. You could usually find enough around here, but tonight you wanted to gather more, wanting to venture out of town the next day.
You notice a tall home in the distance. Its unnecessary amount of gold ornery covering the walls piqued your interest.
Making sure to not be seen, you rounded the home to finally find a slightly ajar window.
You let yourself into the house without a noise. Walking slowly to what you hoped would be this family’s food supply.
You taunted your way around, finally finding a small lock to break into. You kneeled before the box, reaching for your lockpick before inserting the small bronze piece into the lock.
You successfully opened the box and grabbed a few loaves of bread from it. But when you turned around, you were met with a small girl, sleepily staring at you.
‘’Oh, hi there, I'm your mom’s friend’’ you whispered to her, hoping your lies would be enough to get you out of there.
She didn’t seem to hear you, as she took a step back before screaming for help. You ran back to the window only to realize this wasn’t the same room. You tried thinking quickly as you heard more and more voices throughout the home. You looked up for an escape.
‘’That will do for now’’ You helped yourself up a wooden beam near the top of the cathedral ceiling. If you could hide long enough for them to go back to sleep, you’d be out without being hurt, which you couldn't afford to be. You lay flat on the wooden beam, trying to slow down your fastening heartbeat.
The door was heard slamming open and a new voice spoke up. He seemed to be questioning the little girl about the incident.
‘’Is it still in your home?’’ he questioned
‘’yes they were stealing from us’’ she sniffled
‘’I see’’
‘’Sir, I will ask you and your family to safely wait outside while we catch it’’ another explained
After a few footsteps, silence.
‘’I can’t believe witches are invading our citizens' homes now’’ one exclaimed, making the other laugh
‘’You should consider yourself lucky we got some action in these parts of town’’
They kept talking nonchalantly as they made their way around the house.
You breathed in, nervous as to what would be the outcome.
Hearing some shuffling, you looked around the candle-lit room. You were about to abandon the idea of finding the source when you felt something on your chest. You looked up to see that black cat once again. Although the creature probably wanted to be friendly, the action made you jump and fall off the beam, making you known to the other occupants of the house. You groaned, feeling your bones aching from the impact. the cat ran out of the room and you decided on following it. It thankfully leads you back to the open window, jumping first to go back outside.
As you made your way to the window, A man shouted at you
‘’Stay still witch!’’
You quickly jumped out only to be met with another guard outside. He tried impaling you, missing your chest by a few inches, leaving a nasty cut to your arm. You were about to retaliate when a few guards appeared behind him. That was your cue to run, disappearing into the woods.
—-
After running for what felt like an hour, you let yourself fall against the grass. You slightly turned to lay on your back before feeling up your arm. Your sleeve was bloodied. You could start feeling the adrenaline fading away and the pain let itself known.
You breathed out before sitting up. You looked around you and found yourself in a bizarre place. A well-lit village was before you in the distance. Flowers and cabins of all colors were bestowed upon you. You weren’t exactly sure how to feel at the sight of it. But you needed to rest.
You gently pushed yourself back up before walking further into the unknown village. The night was starting to get cold and you felt immensely tired after your escape. You wandered around, looking for any nooks to hide under.
That’s when you saw it, a wooden trap on the ground. You decided on opening it and let yourself in. A roof was better than what you imagined finding. You entered the small room which was very well decorated.
Content with your find, you laid down on the carpet that was covering the cold ground. You don't remember falling asleep, too exhausted to fight any doubt that was swimming through your mind.
—-
Whilst your slumber was quite peaceful, your awakening, not so much. You were presented with a dark hooded figure above you, compressing your chest to seemingly keep you in place. You tried moving but felt a blade against the skin of your neck, stopping you from wanting to move any further.
You could barely see your opponent.
‘’Who are you’’ the woman sternly asked
‘’I’m innocent’’ you pleaded, unsure of whom you were facing
The woman slapped you
‘’I asked, who are you’’ she repeated
‘’I promise I was not stealing from your place, I was simply looking for refuge’’ you tried explaining as she slowly pressed harder on your chest.
‘’How do I know your not a witch hunter?’’ she asked, letting her blade run up to your face, making your squirm
‘’I was chased here by witch hunters’’ you breathlessly explained
The weight was lifted from your chest at that moment. The woman brought light closer to your face only to gasp.
‘’I’ve seen you before’’ she exclaimed.
You hadn't noticed before but the woman was the same who had saved you a few days ago. You watched as a glint of amusement seemed to be reflecting through her eyes.
‘’What are you doing here?’’
‘’I told you already’’ you harshly replied
At your comment, you swore you could see flames rise within her eyes
‘’And I'm asking you again, what are you doing here’’ she glared at out, knife in hand
‘’I escaped the hunters, I needed a place to rest’’
she hummed in acknowledgment. ‘’Well at least now you're fully dressed’’ she teased before turning around to exit the room.
‘’Wait, where are you going’’ you exclaimed
She huffed before turning back to you. ‘’follow me’’
You hurriedly stood up to follow her steps. Exiting the room, she made her way down one of the many paths around. She approached a cabin painted an emerald green. She opened the door and made a sign for you to enter.
Once inside, you noticed a small animal laying on her bed. The black cat.
‘’Is this cat yours?’’ you asked curiously
‘’Yes she is’’ she smiled before pushing you down onto her bed.
You were confused by her actions
‘’What are you doing’’
‘’Well from what I assume, I may be saving your life’’ she simply explained before cutting your right sleeve off with her knife.
‘’Quite the nasty cut there’’ she added
You looked down to see what she was referring to. Your skin was turning black around the incisions the guard had left. You winced at the sight.
Without any warning, Sua poured what you assumed to be alcohol on the wound. The pain was unbearable as she kept pouring the content down your arm. You tried stopping her, reaching for the bottle with your left arm. But you weren’t quick enough. Making her grin teasingly at you.
‘’I'm helping you dear, stay still now’’ she commanded before pouring more onto the wound
You groaned, feeling every inch of your arms burning. A few seconds later, she pulled away, placing the bottle on a shelf before coming back with some tools and a thread. Your eyes turned wide and your breathing quickened.
‘’I will fix my arm once at home’’ you quickly jutted out, trying to stop her
‘’If I don't close the wound now, there might be other things getting under your skin during your travels’’ she explained
You looked between her eyes and the tools she was holding.
‘’You will be fine y/n’’, surprised by the mention of your name, you failed to notice picking at your wound, quickly pulling a wooden shard out from it.
‘’Owe, would you be careful with my arm’’ you expressed slightly angered
‘’I can be gentle with your face, as for your body…I cannot make any promises’’ she smiled
‘’right’’ you replied huffing, making her laugh
‘’Don’t worry I'll be quick’’ she smirked before pricking a needle into your skin. You looked down at your arm, watching her work, slowly sewing your skin back together. You gritted your teeth through the pain. Thankfully, the burn from the alcohol made your skin somewhat numb.
After a few movements, she approached the deepest part of your wound. Not able to stop yourself, you grabbed onto her arm to stop her. You were about to plead for her to stop again, but what happened next made you forget whatever pain she was inflicting on you.
She grabbed your face to lay an intoxicating kiss on your lips, letting her finish the stitching.
As she kept your attention on her, she quickly tried finishing the stitching, making you whimper within her hold, to which she simply hummed against your lips.
She let go of your face a few seconds later, retreating from your arm to bring some bandages to cover her work.
You sat there frozen, unsure of how to feel about what had just happened. Sua noticed and laughed all while applying the bandage.
Once she was done, you looked at your arm, now wrapped up.
‘’T-thank you’’ you expressed your gratitude, trying to hide your obvious flustered state.
‘’No problem dear’’ she smiled ‘’You should be healing from now on’’ she winked
Without another word, you stood up to make your way toward the door.
‘’I’ll be heading back home’’ you stated
‘’What home?’’ she asked curiously
You looked down, suddenly saddened by her question, realization hitting you. She was right…what home?
You looked back up, ‘’Wherever the winds brings me’’
‘’I hope the winds brings you here more often than’’ she smiled, finally letting the same feature draw itself onto your face
‘’So do I, Sua. Thank you again’’ you bowed
‘’You can come to me whenever you're injured y/n’’ she winked making you blush
‘’I’ll see you soon then Sua’’ you smiled before leaving her house.
And true to your words, you did see Sua not too long after this encounter. You’d visit her at first for some wounds to be treated, but as time went on, you let yourself visit her with the only reason being your want to become closer to her. Sua had also grown fonder of you, getting attached to that smile of yours as well as your lips. Eventually, she asked for you to stay with her. Finally, you had a place to call home.
Ironic after all, two outcasts falling for each other at last. A Bandit and a Witch.

Chaeyoung's journal
Running away was not an option. Neither was screaming. You were completely at Jiu’s mercy and she seemed to be enjoying that kind of power. “Just tell me, Y/N.” It seemed like the question has been cut before getting to the important part, but the other half never came. Jiu was glaring at you in expectation and her patience was clearly wearing thin.
“What do you want from me?” you asked, cursing the slight shakiness in your voice. Showing weakness could be deadly in your current situation.
“Explanation. Why are you here?” Maybe it wasn’t the smartest move to snap at her, but you couldn’t help it.
“Why am I here? Aren’t you the one who brought me here? It all happened when you decided to start chasing me in my dreams!”
Surprisingly, your angry words seemed to make some impact. “It’s a completely different thing that we’re not going to discuss now.” Jiu stated firmly. “I’m asking about your presence in Dreamworld.”
“You invited me to Dreamworld. You even personally welcomed me here!”
Her icy glare made her look like a polar opposite of the bubbly girl you saw at school. Almost like she was a different person. “So you really have no idea. Good.” You wanted to know what she was talking about, but forcing her to talk would probably be fruitless. “You don’t want to go deeper into this, Y/N.” She said and glanced towards a mirror on of the walls. “You could get hurt.”
“At least we know they work together.” Your friend noted everything about this night’s dream in her notebook. “Now we have to find out what they want from you.”
You leaned on a table next to her. “I’m not sure they want something from me. Jiu seemed irritated by my presence and Siyeon only wanted to get answers.”
Your friend looked at you curiously. “There has to be some reason for all of you to keep hanging out in this whole dreamworld.” Being forced to talk in a creepy room wasn’t your definition of hanging out, but Chaeyoung had a point. It seemed to be a part of something much bigger, but you couldn’t put your finger on it. “Maybe we should find the house.”
You turned rapidly and knocked down some books. “You think this place exists?”
Chaeyoung shrugged. “Look, it’s better than nothing. The girls are real, so the mansion can be real too. I read that it’s almost impossible to imagine something with so many details.” That was a start. Very questionable and a bit absurd, but a start. If you found that place, maybe you could find out more about your situation or even put an end to it.
You were lost in thoughts about regaining healthy sleep schedule when Chaeyoung started hitting your arm. “Y/N, Y/N! Look!” She pointed towards one of the exits where Sua and Siyeon were talking. It was the first time you saw these two together at school. “They may be saying something important.” Your friend suggested.
Siyeon looked pretty troubled and kept glancing around as if she was worried somebody could hear them. Her companion must have noticed that, because she took her hand and led her out of the cafeteria. Chaeyoung hit your arm once more and showed you to follow them. You got up from your seat and quickly moved towards the exit. The hard part was to find the girls and listen to their conversation without raising their suspicions. You walked through the hall, passing some other students without any trace of Sua and Siyeon. Where could they go? It had to be some secluded place, but close to the main building.
“Hey, Joy!” You waved towards the cheerleader and quickly approached her. “I have to ask Sua about our assignment. Do you know where she is?” You lied with an innocent smile.
Joy scoffed and frowned at the mention of her fellow cheerleader’s name. “She’s probably making out with her girlfriend somewhere.” She answered with venom in her voice.
You were taken aback by it, because Joy was always smiling brightly. “Her girlfriend?” you asked and Joy smiled weakly.
“Don’t even try Y/N. She’s the type of girl to get whatever she wants. Try looking in the locker room.”
Her suggestion made a lot of sense, but something still didn’t add up. “I thought cheerleaders can’t be there when it’s not practice.”
Joy’s eyes got even more clouded and she cleared her throat. “Yeah, well. The captain can go anywhere she pleases.”
You nodded as she walked past you when suddenly you understood her weird behavior. “I was sure you are the captain.”
Joy turned around and flashed you another sad smile. “Whatever she wants, Y/N. Be careful.” With that she walked away to join her another friends. You moved towards the locker room thinking how in the world Sua managed to push Joy off her position. Students loved that girl and replacing her seemed to be impossible.
You creeped into the locked room and noticed that it was empty. It seemed like the girls already left or were never here in the first place. Just as you were about to turn around and leave, you heard voices getting closer and closer. Your breath caught in your throat as you dashed into one of the bathroom stalls and prayed that no one catches you lurking around locker rooms like some kind of creep.
“We’ll find her, Singnie.” Sua’s voice sounded uncharacteristically soft. It wasn’t her usual high chipper or the low whisper she used that night. A loud sigh was heard next to her.
“I don’t know, Bora.” This took you by surprise. Why would Siyeon call Sua that? “It’s like she disappeared into thin air. No sign of her anywhere.”
There was a short moment of silence that was soon ended by Sua’s serious tone. “Did anyone tell Dami?” Siyeon must have answered nonverbally, because you didn’t hear anything. “We have to do something about this. We lost another member less then a week after the first disappearance.”
“You don’t have to remind me.” Siyeon huffed and you had to restrain yourself from imagining her bangs being moved by the stream of air coming from her lips. “At least we took care of that guy.”
Sua’s warm giggle made your heart flutter, even though the conversation started drifting towards the murder territory. “Yeah, no more trouble from that one.” She announced smugly. “It was fun, though.”
Her words earned another huff from Siyeon. “We have different definitions of fun.” You could practically hear her rolling her eyes. “Let’s just hope Gahyeon finds something soon.”
The answer was drowned by the sound of the bell and the girls left. You waited until their footsteps weren’t audible and quickly moved back to the class, knowing that you will be terribly late. Maybe Mrs. Lee won’t give you detention.
“So we’re sure that Yoohyeon’s missing.” Chaeyoung whispered. You were both trying to talk about everything without getting busted by the supervisor. Being late to class made you get detention immediately and Chaeyoung heroically sacrificed herself and joined you. “What about the other one?”
You shrugged. “No idea. Sua called them a “member”, so they must be one of them. Do you think it’s another student?”
Chaeyoung shrugged and kept typing on her phone. She preferred that to taking the notebook out in school since that incident a few days ago. Besides, it way easier to hide a small device that the journal. “None of our students disappeared recently.” She whispered after a moment. “At least, there is nothing about it on the Internet.”
The teacher left for a while, so you could talk normally for a moment. Chaeyoung moved her chair closer and looked around the room. “Why would Joy be here?” You looked at the girl. She avoided eye contact with anyone and stared at the wall. “Doesn’t she have practice?”
“She may not want to be there at the moment.” You sighed and Chaeyoung glanced at you curiously, ready to ask another question. “She’s not the captain anymore.”
Your friends eyes got big as she stared at Joy in shock. “What?! They have a huge competition coming up. Why would they do that? Who is the new captain?” You sighed again and moved closer to her.
“Sua.” You revealed and Chaeyoung seemed like she was about to pass out.
“That’s impossible.” She stated. “Or unreasonable at least. Sua is a senior, Y/N. Giving her charge for only a few month doesn’t make any sense. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless it’s just a cover for something bigger.” Chaeyoung took out her phone and got back to typing. You eyed her without any clue what was happening.
“What do you mean, Chae?” she looked at you as if you were dumb.
“Think about it, Y/N.” she started explaining. “Sua is the cheerleader captain. Siyeon and Yoohyeon are the most important ones in the band…”
“And Jiu’s the school president.” You finished as everything finally clicked. “They have the most important duties in school.”
Chaeyoung nodded and moved her phone in your direction. “The band previously played different music, but got no recognition. Siyeon and Yoohyeon changed everything and became crazy popular.”
You saw a photo of a few girls in bright clothing. They seemed to be very sweet and cheerful as they smiled and made cute poses to the camera. Next to the them was a picture of the current band which was the polar opposite. You noticed that it was the same set of girls with two members added – Siyeon and Yoohyeon.
“These are the same people.” You noticed. Chaeyoung nodded and put her finger on the first photo.
“Minus Wendy.” She explained and you looked at a pretty girl with bangs. Your friend was right, she wasn’t in the second picture. “People say that she got severe stage fright and stopped performing.”
You couldn’t stop thinking that all of this wasn’t a coincidence. Influential people in school started losing their positions due to these girls. “What about Jiu? She isn’t the president for that long either.”
“There’s no drama in her case.” Chaeyoung shrugged. “Irene graduated and Jiu was elected as the next president.” In that moment the supervisor walked into the classroom and announced that you can go home. You linked your arms with Chaeyoung and left. You were planning to have a sleepover soon to destress and try to take your minds of the terrifying dreams that kept haunting you. Walking through the familiar streets with your best friend made you feel a bit more at ease. Like you could finally breathe. Maybe there was a way to solve everything. Your optimistic thoughts were interrupted by a paper flying right into your face. Chaeyoung burst out laughing as you yelped in surprise.
“Very funny.” You grumbled and she took the page off. She crumpled it and started walking towards the closest garbage can when your blood ran cold. “Wait!” you snatched the paper and ignored her confused questions. You straightened the paper and looked at the headline as you felt yourself trembling. Local man goes missing and a picture of a building. The building. That building.
“Y/N? Y/N, what’s wrong.” Chaeyoung shook your arm.
“We found the house.”

Almost tripping over a branch again was kind of pathetic, but it wasn’t your concern right now. You were on the run once again. The forest was quite dense and you kept tripping every few minutes. You heard someone behind you. Was it Jiu? Or someone else? It almost seemed like there were several people running after you. Maybe she had backup. A horde of shadow creeps or something like that.
Doesn’t matter. Just. Keep. Running. Maybe it was better not to know anyway.
You sprinted through the trees, trying to avoid any obstacles. Will that chase ever stop? Will Jiu ever get bored? Something moved in the dark on your left. You ducked behind a tree and tried to control your breathing. She was here. She would get you this time.
You peeped from your hiding spot and almost screamed. Someone was there. A girl. But she didn’t look like Jiu. Her hair was shorter and brown. Plus she seemed scared. Sitting on a stone with some branches blocking her from moving. No, they were hands. Heavy, wooden hands. A hostage? You observed the upset look on her face when she turned her head a bit and looked right at you.
Your eyes snapped open and got instantly blinded by the lamp that you forgot to turn off last night. Sleeping was even harder now that the situation in your dreams changed. Somehow, you managed to run away from the mansion where Jiu was chasing you. You were now running away in the woods around it from what seemed to be a group of people.
Unless Jiu got super powers and could instantly teleport or duplicate herself. You never actually saw anyone except for her in your dreams. Until that girl appeared. No matter how hard you focused, somehow you couldn’t recall her face. Who was she? What was she doing there? What was your subconsciousness trying to tell you? All these questions felt too difficult for your tired brain. If you wanted to figure this out, you would need some support.
“A girl?” Chaeyoung asked, chewing on her pen. “Where did that come from?”
You shrugged your shoulder and took a sip of coffee. Recently it was your only source of energy.
“I have no idea, Chae. She was just sitting there. It almost look like she was a hostage.” Your friend pointed her pen on you.
“Or a bait. Really, Y/N this whole situation just seems bizarre.”
That was the conclusion you came to without her help. Having the same nightmare over and over again was kind of suspicious and you couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was even more to come.
“I heard that it’s impossible to come up with a person.” Chaeyoung stated. “So, you had to see her before. Maybe she goes to our school?”
You could only shrug again in defeat. “It would be easier if I could remember her face.” This discussion was fruitless.
It was really hard to make the next move without knowing who the hell was in that forest with you. And most importantly, what was she doing there?
“Hey, Y/N.” You looked at Chaeyoung who was smiling encouragingly. “Don’t give up, we will find the way to stop these dreams.”
Before you could answer, a few people approached your table with big smiles on their faces.
“Hey Chaeyoung, hey Y/N!” a bubbly voice of Joy, the cheerleader captain, greeted you with enthusiasm. Other girls surrounding her also flashed dazzling smiles, but you were focused on the one person behind Joy’s back. It must have looked pretty bad, cause Chaeyoung jabbed you in the ribs.
“Ow!” You yelped in protest as she shot you a fake smile.
“Joy just asked if we would watch the next game.” She explained and you moved your gaze back to the tall girl in front of you.
“It will be amazing!” she squealed and clapped her hands. Sua prepared an amazing routine and you can’t miss it!”
A short girl peeked from behind Joy’s back and did a small bow with a big smile on her face. It made you blush a little, but you quickly composed yourself.
“We’ll be there.” You answered and the girls moved to the other table.
“Dude, you were practically drooling at Sua. Seriously, you want to eat her or something?” Chaeyoung’s teasing was cut short by your sharp glare. “Y/N what’s wrong?”
“It was Sua!” Your friend tilted her head a bit in confusion.
“Yes. I just said that.” You groaned and shook your head.
“No! It was her. In my dream.”
That got Chaeyoung’s full attention.
“Okay, so first you dream about being hunted down by the school president and now the star of the cheerleading team is there too? You really need to get laid.”
You punched her arm for that last comment. She had a point though. Why was students appearing in your dreams? And in so weird circumstances. You weren’t sure if you even interacted with Sua before.
“How do you know her?” You asked Chaeyoung.
“She worked with Mina to choreograph the school play.”
It took every ounce of self-control not to tease your friend on her hopeless crush on the Japanese student. Sometimes she was just so adorably obvious.
“It doesn’t make any sense.” You groaned once more and rested your head against the table. “It’s just not adding up.”
Maybe you were just going crazy. Having weird nightmares was just a result of constant stress and crushing anxiety. School could be so fun.
“Y/N. I think you should take a look.”
You straightened yourself on the chair and followed the direction of Chaeyoung’s gaze. Sua was standing by a wall and talking with-
“Jiu?” that was surprising. “Are they friends or something?”
Your friend shrugged. “Well, they’re the same age and have Maths together I guess. But they don’t seem too happy.”
She was right. Sua was visibly upset and kept vigorously explaining something to Jiu. It almost looked like an argument.
“Maybe it’s not a coincidence that these two keep appearing in your dreams.”
You looked at her as if she was crazy.
“What do you mean?” “That maybe Sua really is trapped. By Jiu.”
That was quite a theory. A pretty illogical one.
“So Jiu is a witch now?”
“You can’t say that it’s not possible.”
Maybe it was the lack of sleep, but it really seemed like she could have a point. What if Sua was another victim of the creepy dreamworld. But if she was trapped, it meant that-
“I have to save her.”
Chaeyoung nodded slowly.
“Seems like it.”
You looked back to the girls only to catch Sua’s eye. Jiu was nowhere in sight.
The same pattern again. Dark forest, tall trees and the footsteps following you. Right behind you. Almost catching you. They were everywhere. Surrounding you. Luring you somewhere. Probably to your inevitable doom. Maybe it was even Jiu herself. Still nothing. You didn’t see anyone, but you knew they were there. Waiting for you to make a mistake. Ready to attack.
Jiu wasn’t dumb. She would eventually find you. Your mind was racing. Run, run, run. Faster. Quicker. Further. It was the only think on your mind. It almost felt like a trap. Wait. You suddenly stopped and tried to focus. Trap. Trapped. Imprisoned. Captured. In the dark. Dark forest. Tall trees. Somewhere. Trap. Trap.. Trap…
“Sua!” it happened again. You gained control over your dream. Snatched your fate away from Jiu. You could finally help Sua. She couldn’t be that far away. You moved to the right and started marching through the trees. The steps were not audible anymore. Your sudden consciousness must have kick Jiu out of here and let you walk around freely.
Looking around for Sua, you could finally take a glance at your surroundings. Some tree branches had weird stick figures handing from them. Who could have hung them there? Jiu was a tall girl, but could she reach that high? It could be some charms or other occult symbols. Needless to say, you were really creeped out and wanted to find and free Sua immediately. You had to find her though and it wasn’t that easy.
Suddenly you noticed something sparkling gently in the dark. You picked it up and saw that it was a weird book, closed with four chains. One of them was broken and it allowed you to open it. It was full of weird symbols and runes, but also pictures of girls. You were flicking through the pages when something caught your attention. The girl in one of the pictures was blocked by hands covering her body which was suspiciously similar to what happened to Sua. What were you supposed to do with it though? Could that book be the key to freeing the poor girl?
Something fell from your pocket and you frowned in confusion. Your pajamas definitely didn’t have any pockets. The object turned out to be a… lighter? That was some serious fire hazard, considering that you were in a middle of the forest. Jiu must have thought that you were an idiot. Burning the forest to the ground was definitely not a good idea. But an sudden thought appeared in your head. Paper could be burned. What if that was the way to free Sua?
Of course it could be Jiu messing with you, but she didn’t even show herself since that night at the house. You had to at least try. The paper caught on fire very quickly and it allowed you to see better. You could notice that Sua was only a few meters away, staring at you. She was getting more visible with every second. Wait… It seemed like the forest were also burning around you. Almost as if it was connected to the page.
“No!” you tried to make it stop, but the flames were already surrounding Sua. That didn’t seem to bother her though. She kept staring at you with blank expression while the fire kept getting closer and closer until finally enveloping-
“No!”
You got up with beating heart and tears on your cheeks. Was that supposed to be that way? Sua seemed calm and peaceful, but what is she just wasn’t aware of the situation? Or maybe you were just weird and this whole damn thing was just a dream. There was only one way to make sure Sua was okay.
“We did it!” the whole school was shouting as your team scored in the last second. Chaeyoung seemed as ecstatic as the rest and you were both yelling enthusiastically.
It wasn’t the school spirit in your case. Sua was cheering with her team, absolutely nailing the choreography. They almost overshadowed the players with their amazing skills. Nothing bad happened to her. She was alright, smiling, laughing and cheering for the boys. It was a huge relief to see her this way and know that the fire was just in your head.
You and Chaeyoung started heading back home when suddenly you heard a high voice calling your name.
“Y/N, wait up!” You turned around to see Sua sprinting in your direction.
Chaeyoung glanced at you and took a small step back as you waited for the cheerleader to approach you. For someone so tiny, she was extremely fast. And strong as it turned out a second later when she basically threw herself at you and hugged you tightly. You couldn’t even move in shock as her warm whisper tickled your ear.
“Thank you for being there.”
After that she winked at you and ran away to her teammates. Chaeyoung seemed as surprised as you.
“What was that about?” You shrugged. “About seeing her performing.”
Because it was about the game. Right?
You woke up in the middle of the night and tried to adjust your position. But you couldn’t move. You tried again, but without any results. For the first time in your life you experienced sleep paralysis. According to science, it was no big deal. You just had to try move different parts of your body. You opened your eyes and looked into darkness. Was it… glistening?
Your breath hitched as you realized that it wasn’t the gloom of your bedroom. It was a pair of eyes right in front of you. And its owner was straddling you. Immobilizing you. You barely felt warm lips grazing yours with a husky whisper.
“Thanks for coming.”
