AMETHYST: Drucless Lover
AKD - 32

I felt the rough grass touch my feet. This dark forest was far from normal. My height exceeds my height. There is grass everywhere. Anyone would get lost if walking in a place like this at night.

Isn't there a bit of light in this place? When I looked up at the sky to look for the moon or stars, I was astonished to see a bright red moon in the sky.

I touched my goosebumps.

Am I in another world now?

It's scarier than a guts test.

I kept going while picking up my phone and turning on the flashlight. I look around. There are many voices at night that scare me. Blood-sucking insects were everywhere, moreover their size could not be spelled out as small.

There were many black shadows darting about rapidly in the air. I have to hide so I don't get caught. I turned off the cell phone flashlight.

My steps stopped when I saw a waterfall in front of me. Very tall and big. Suddenly something hit my back. I flinched and fell to the ground.

I closed my eyes to see the black shadow surrounding me. Those who hit my body from behind.

They hit my body constantly. Do they want to get inside my body? But they can't, why?

I felt something in my neck. It turned out that Rean's blue seal had reappeared and that was probably what kept my body protected from the dark ghosts.

I got up and avoided them.

"Amethyst, come here." I heard that mysterious voice again. This time his voice came from within the river in front of me.

Is that woman a water ghost?

Those dark shadow ghosts no longer bothered me. I got closer to the river and looked at the water.

The reflection of the red moon was clearly visible on the surface of the water. But something is strange. Why are there 2 red moon shadows?

Nah! There is no red moon on the surface! Those two circles were a pair of eyes from the bottom of the river.

Suddenly I felt my body so stiff and would be sucked in there. It was like a force was pulling me to fall in there, but I survived by holding on to the grass by the river.

I fell back and fell to the ground. My breath choked when I saw a white-haired head emerge from the water.

That's not Rean!

The guy's hair is long.

She chick.

I'm still sitting on the ground retreating.

"You're coming too, Amethyst."

It turned out that the mysterious voice belonged to the woman in front of me right now.

"W-who are you? Where's Rean?" I asked with a trembling voice.

The woman raised her face to look at me. She was so beautiful, it was a pity that her eyes were red, as red as pomegranate which scared me to see her gaze.

I think that woman is similar to Rean.

Is that woman her brother?

Or...his mother?!

I retreated and tried to get up, but he pulled my leg, so I fell back. He crept into my body and crushed me. Her wet long hair hangs over my face. Some drops of water washed down my face.

"I am a woman who has created a drucless world to hold all my power. There was always a small portion of humans trying to enter this place. You guys have your own good place, don't you? But, you're lucky because I invited you here myself."

I ventured to say, "Where is Rean? What the hell did you do to her? If you love him, you won't hurt him."

The woman smiled cynically. "Rean my son, I can't hurt him."

His son? Then... earlier..he said, he wanted to have Rean completely. What mean?!

"Yes, I love my own son. Any issues?" Asked the woman in a high voice.

I was surprised, how could he know my heart?

Suddenly Twisy's head emerges from the pet cloth. The woman screamed and turned into the wind then disappeared.

I got up and hugged Twisy. "You showed up on time."

The woman was afraid of cats. I've heard, some ghosts especially the special kind of ghosts are very afraid of cats, because some beliefs consider cats to be the gatekeepers of hell.

Could it be that this woman came from hell?

I took Twisy to the ground. "Wait here. I have to find Rean."

After that, I stood by the beach and looked at the surface of the water. There are no more two flaming red roundabouts from the bottom of the river. There is only a red moon on the surface of the water.

I feel, if Rean is in there. I jumped into the water and swam to the bottom of the dark river.

Damn, this river is much deeper than I thought. I was forced to go back to the surface and breathe as much as possible and turn on the flashlight from my phone. After taking in a lot of oxygen, I went back to swimming inside.

This time I swam faster while panning around the river with my water repellent phone. I saw a lot of black grass moving on the riverbed.

Besides, I saw Rean's body bound by the black grass. I immediately approached and took my dagger and then tore the grass that bound Rean's body.

However, I just realized, if the grass is alive. I mean 'living' there is moving like a water animal.

They tied my body up too, I coughed, because I was running out of oxygen.

Some water began to fill my lungs. Am I going to die? Died with Rean here?

Nah!

We can't die!

Rean!

Wake up!

We have to live and save ourselves from this place then go and live happily with me!

I can't take it anymore.

Rean! Wake you!
