Demon child.
It was dark outside when a young girl, only five years old walked through the dark streets of Seoel. The girl had a small doll in her little hands, she was bare feet and her little dress was dirty and too cold for the cold night. But the girl was not scared, she was too smart to be normal for a girl her age. A smile crept over her little, innocent face and her bright, friendly eyes discolored and started to shine in the dark…
JaeJoong smiled when he walked in his morning robe through his house, it was Saturday morning and he had no work to do. JaeJoong grabbed himself a cup of coffee and opened his front door to see if the deliveryman had brought him his newspaper. But when he looked outside he was shocked. He saw a little girl, lying on his doorstep and fast asleep! JaeJoong looked alarmed around him, searching for her parents but found no one. Worried he lifted the exhausted little girl up in his arms and carried her inside his home. He sat on the couch and looked worried at the little girl, searching for a phone number or a address in one of her dress pockets, but again, he found nothing. Desperate now, he grabbed his own phone and dialed ChangMin’s number. “Min, I’m sorry for calling you so early on Saturday but I have a problem here, can you come and help me?” JaeJoong knew that his boyfriend would help him, he was a cop and would knew what to do with the girl.
“What’s wrong?” ChangMin sounded worried, it was not normal for JaeJoong to call him this early, knowing that he had worked late the evening before and would sleep normally in this hour. “I have found a little child on my doorstep a few minutes before, without her parents and I can’t find a phone number or an address. She is asleep now but I think that she will wake up soon. I will try to talk with her but she is still very young and she will not understand everything I’m going to ask her.” JaeJoong looked again worried at the girl, not knowing that she was awake and observing him. “I’m coming immediately” said ChangMin and stepped quickly out of his bed. “If she is awake, ask her if she knows the names of her parents.” “Okay” said JaeJoong and thanked his boyfriend for helping him.
JaeJoong rushed to the kitchen to make some breakfast for the little girl, JaeJoong suspected that she didn’t had a warm family, she looked neglected and poor. But when he just started to heat the water he heard a scared cry from the living room. “Umma!!?” cried the little girl and looked scared around her. When she saw JaeJoong, a scary man she didn’t know she started to cry harder. “I want my mommy and daddy” cried the girl and hid behind one of JaeJoong’s large pillows on the couch. “JaeJoong hesitated when he saw how scared the girl was, not knowing what to do. He had no experience with children and the girl was obviously afraid of him.
“Hi, I’m JaeJoong…”JaeJoong smiled friendly at the girl and walked slowly toward her. “What’s your name?” JaeJoong stood beside the girl and saw that she was now no longer afraid of him. “I’m Eunah” answered the girl with a tiny voice. JaeJoong smiled again friendly at the girl and asked if it was okay for him to sit besides the girl. Eunah nodded and looked curious at JaeJoong but said nothing. JaeJoong tried to talk with Eunah but the girl only looked at him with a strange expression on her little face. Just when JaeJoong decided that it was better to stop asking questions he heard how ChangMin entered his house. JaeJoong looked with a bright smile up at ChangMin and kissed him lovingly before he introduced ChangMin to the little girl. ChangMin tried to talk with the girl, just as JaeJoong had done but just as before didn’t answered the girl any questions and only looked at ChangMin and JaeJoong.
“Do you want to play with me?” Asked Eunah innocent and looked hopefully up at the two adults before her. “Of course we want to play with you” answered ChangMin immediately, hoping that if he and JaeJoong played a little with the girl she would open up a little too them. “Let’s play hide and seek” said the little girl and grabbed both JaeJoong and ChangMin’s hands before she spoke to them, suddenly with another voice, a dark, scary voice. “I’m going to search for both of you, and if I have found you, I’m going to kill you…” When Eunah spoke those words she smiled innocently at them but something in her eyes told the two adults that there was something terrible wrong with the girl. Just when JaeJoong and ChangMin tried to pull their hands back, the whole room started to toll around them. JaeJoong closed his eyes, afraid that if he looked around him he would be sick and dizzy from the moving room around him. When JaeJoong opened his eyes he saw that he was no longer in his own house, the room he and ChangMin were in was dark, dirty and scary.
All around him he heard the sounds of crying people, screams and moans. JaeJoong looked alarmed at ChangMin, hoping that this was a bad joke and that everything was alright. But ChangMin didn’t laugh and he also looked shocked. “JaeJoong oppa, ChangMin oppa, I’m going to find you now” sang Eunah from another room. JaeJoong and ChangMin didn’t think long about what they should do now and started to run. But when JaeJoong entered a new room he tripped over something and almost fell to the ground. When he looked down to see what was laying on the ground he almost screamed from what he saw. Before his feet lay a carcass from a dead person! He saw that the person had died a terrible death, the whole carcass was broken and everywhere he looked in the room he smelled rotting flesh and dried blood! “Let’s go, now!” hissed ChangMin and grabbed JaeJoong by his hand.
The two men ran through a few dark rooms but didn’t found their way out of this dark, scary place. ”Where are you going, don’t run away from me and play with me” spoke the girl with a happy voice, somewhere behind them. JaeJoong turned around while ChangMin was still pulling him behind him and saw a silhouette behind him, a silhouette in the size of a little girl, but with red, evil eyes that were shining in the dark… ChangMin stopped suddenly and cursed,” it’s a dead end!” JaeJoong’s eyes widened when he heard ChangMin and looked panicking at the girl behind them, but she was gone… “Hello… I have found you” said the girl suddenly in the shadows next to him and ChangMin. JaeJoong screamed and struggled with ChangMin backwards and stood with his back pressed against the dusty old wall.
The girl stepped forward and looked up at the two men, with a fake innocent smile on her little face. She stuck her hand out to JaeJoong, ready to grab his arm “I have found you… and you and your friend are going to die now~…” Just when she wanted to grab JaeJoong’s arm, smiling triumphantly at JaeJoong and ChangMin, thinking that she had won this game, again. But something she didn’t suspect happened, something that never had happened before… ChangMin screamed, “don’t touch him!” And he stepped in front JaeJoong, pushed the girl away from JaeJoong in a attempt to protect his lover. But when his hands touched the shoulders from the girl something terrible happened, his hands sank in her rotting skin and he felt her bones under his hands. Her flesh was cold, moistened and rotting.
ChangMin’s eyes widened when he saw how his hands disappeared in the body of the girl and stumbled backwards, pulling his hands back. When JaeJoong saw all the dirt on ChangMin’s hands and smelled the rotting flesh that surrounded them now and he almost vomited. But his fear was stronger than his sickness and he pushed ChangMin out of the way from the girl, “run” yelled JaeJoong and did his best to not think about what he just had seen a few seconds before. “This is not real” he whispered to himself, “this can’t be real…” JaeJoong opened a door, ready to run back the way they had come from but stopped, disoriented. He was sure that he and ChangMin had come thought this door and this hallway but now he was hesitating, he didn’t remember this big hallway. The hallway was dimly lighted, which was strange because every room he and ChangMin had seen in this strange place was dark and this room… Was not scary or cold and he didn’t even hear the screaming and sobbing sounds anymore in this room! JaeJoong looked around him, feeling relieved and hoping that they were safe. That they had found their way out of this doomed place.
The room was decorated with a large, red carpet, portraits from smiling people he didn’t recognize, he thought that it were family portraits but there were no windows in this hallway. “Where are we?” Whispered JaeJoong and looked confused at his boyfriend. “Do you think that this is the way out?” JaeJoong looked at the door on the other side of the hallway where he saw the only door besides the door he and ChangMin had just passed. “Let’s go, I haven’t seen this hallway before but I’m not surprised that this house has changed, everything here is not normal and that child, Eunah is not human… And I’m not going back to that place and that room…” ChangMin shuddered and looked disgusted at his own hands, remembering the feeling from her rotting flesh and her bones… “Her body… She is dead JaeJoong, her body is rotting… And I know that this sounds insane, but I know what I felt and I know that the place we are now in is not our house or even in our world! This child is not human… She is dangerous and we need to find a way out of this place!”
ChangMin stepped forward with JaeJoong behind him, holding him firm by his arm when they walked forward, further into the strange but safe looking hallway. ChangMin was the first one who stepped on the red carpet and felt immediately that they had made a big mistake by trusting this hallway. He wanted to warn JaeJoong to not follow him but he was too late, next him he heard how JaeJoong suddenly uttered a scream in panic. JaeJoong felt how the soft carpet under his feet was moving, holding him in a firm grip, as if hundreds of tiny hands were holding him… As if it pressed him against the floor! And just when JaeJoong started to panic all the lights went off in the hallway, leaving the two man in a total terror alone.
ChangMin tried to push JaeJoong away from the carpet but without success. The carpet started to move under their feet and the next moment they were falling! JaeJoong screamed as hard as he could, thinking that he and ChangMin would die every moment when they would hit the ground. But he and ChangMin didn’t die, it was not Eunah’s plan for JaeJoong and ChangMin to die so soon and without her to watch it… His body hit the ground, but the ground felt not hard or steady… It was… cold, some parts of the floor were hard while others were soft and unsteady. JaeJoong tried to find ChangMin but it was impossible to see something in this strange, dark place. “ChangMin?” Called JaeJoong softly, crawling on his hands and his feet. Just when he heard a soft, “I’m here” he felt something sticky on his hand. JaeJoong pulled his hand back, immediately. trying not to think about what he had just felt on his hand.
JaeJoong crawled further, trying to not use his hands and found ChangMin, sitting with his back against a rock wall. “ChangMin, are you alright?” JaeJoong touched ChangMin with his hands, searching for wounds or any other injuries but found nothing. “ChangMin, what’s wrong? Why are you sitting here so still? Are you hurt?” JaeJoong was worried but tried to be strong. He knew that they were trapped here and he was afraid that they would die here, but he refused to give up that easy and if necessary, he would force ChangMin to be strong as well. “I think that I have broken my ankle during the fall.” ChangMin sounded worried and tried to move his ankle a little but stopped immediately, it was too painful. JaeJoong closed his eyes briefly, trying to think of a way out but realized that it was almost impossible to find a way out this place in the dark and now that ChangMin was wounded. ChangMin was always the strongest of them both and now he was weak and hurt…
“We need some light” muttered JaeJoong and just when he had said those word the whole room was suddenly illuminated with a small light, coming from the walls around him. But the light was not a problem, he was looking in total terror at the floor he and ChangMin were sitting on! The floor was… Covered with dead body’s! Everywhere! He and ChangMin were sitting on naked, dead people! He saw children from all ages, even baby’s! There were adults and all the people were tortured, even the little children! He saw bodies that were almost gone and bodies that were still fresh, as if they had just died! JaeJoong wanted to scream but ChangMin stopped him, he covered JaeJoong’s mouth and whispered to him, “don’t make a sound, she is watching us…” ChangMin removed his hand from JaeJoong’s mouth and looked around him and saw that the only way out was to climb up via the wall, but it was a long way up and the wall was unsteady. “Try to find a way out of here and leave me behind, I can’t follow you” ChangMin tried to sound strong but knew that JaeJoong could hear the fear in his voice. “No! I’m not leaving you behind, if there is a way out of here we are going together and nobody will be left alone!” JaeJoong was scared, just as ChangMin but he was sure that he would not leave his boyfriend behind. If he would survive this and ChangMin not, than he would feel guilty forever!
“Please, try to stand up, I will support you” begged JaeJoong and helped his boyfriend to stand up. But the two men realized that it was impossible to climb this wall, JaeJoong had tried it a few times but he fell every time after a few minutes. His hands were bloody and hurt from the climb and every time he had fallen he fell on a dead body! JaeJoong gagged and felt hopeless. “Why is this happening to us?” Whispered JaeJoong desperately and looked scared at ChangMin. But before ChangMin could open his mouth to say something to JaeJoong something terrible happened. All the corpses around them, even the bodies under their feet started to move! ”What is this? What is happening?” Screamed JaeJoong and saw when he looked at ChangMin, the same fear in his eyes as what he felt. All the dead bodies were moving, cold, rotting hands grabbed them by their hands, legs and pushed them against the cold wall. “Let us go!” Yelled ChangMin and tried to fight with the bodies but they were already dead and didn’t feel any pain so ChangMin was fighting a lost battle. They heard the sweet soft laugh in the room they were in again, ”hihih, ChangMin oppa, JaeJoong oppa, I have found you…”
JaeJoong looked alarmed around him and did something he had never done before, he prayed. “Please, if there is a god, please help us … Please…” JaeJoong saw how a little figure stepped out of the shadows and walked over all the dead body’s toward them, still smiling at them with a fake innocent look in her eyes. “We have played, and now it is time to stop… I had fun today ,playing with you!” The girl stepped forward and now that she was closer to the two men they could see clearly how she really was, she was a demon with sharp teeth, a long tongue and claws as hands! “I’m always hungry after I have played with you humans, so I need to eat if I want to be ready for the next play tomorrow! Please, help us! begged JaeJoong silently and closed his eyes when he saw that the demon girl tried to grab his arm. But immediately when her hand touched his skin the girl started to scream, a white light surrounded him and ChangMin, the light was so strong that the demon girl needed to cover her eyes, scared for the light.
JaeJoong and ChangMin also closed their eyes, the light was also too strong for them to bear and the next time they opened their eyes they were sitting in JaeJoong’s living room, wounded, scared and in total panic. The first thing they did when they saw where they were was calling the police. But the police didn’t believe them, everyone thought that they were insane. ChangMin was fired by his boss and was no longer a cop, JaeJoong also lost his job. The two men were so afraid for the shadows around them and little children that they were a danger for their surroundings. If a little child dared it to come close to them they would try to hurt the child! In the end the two men were arrested and locked up in a institute, forever… They know the truth and tried to warn the other people around them desperately but the only thing that happened next was that the nurses were drugging them, trying to help the poor people who had lost their minds… It was impossible for the two men to walk freely on the streets, they were so afraid of little girls, especially little girls who were laughing. They would do everything to protect themselves, even if there was no danger at all! Once, they had attacked a little girl who was running with her little dog towards the two men, they had pushed the girl away, so hard that the girl had fallen to the ground and needed to go to the hospital. It was impossible for the two men to leave the institution in the state they were now in…
