Lost Soul ☯︎︎ (ATEEZ AU) Yunho x Reader

xxix

You cringed your face with anger before some aura came over you. Everything became distorted and a blur as you couldn't quite see what was happening. It seemed as you watched lights and shapes fly by a screen quickly.

The man ran away as he left the boy there bleeding. He shot his own son in the eye! Because he was trying to save you. You looked at him as you looked at the hideous gash in the side of his head.

You almost vomited at the sight as you continued to stare at it. You could see his skull as you saw his face as the blood continued to flow out and down to the ground, staining it with his blood.

You turned back to your ***t as you crawled back to her. "Let me heal you before we get back to the cottage and warn mum and papa!" You said as you held your head to her wound and began to concentrate on it. "No..save the boy," She said as she removed your hand. "No! I can't!" You yelled as you struggled to place your hands back on her wound.

"Hœ**a!" She yelled back, making you jump and shy away. "He **a** yä." She said, you bit your lip as you lowered your head, fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall and betray your thoughts that you don't wanna cry. She used her hand with strength she had left and placed it on your face as she caressed you.

"You know it's right, my love." Her weak voice said as you closed your eyes as the tears finally escaped and streamed down your face. "He doesn't have much time, now, save him." She said, you sobbed before nodding your head and walking over to the boy that was slowly dying.

You crouched down to him as you held his shoulder. "Stay still." You said as you placed your hand over his large wound. You concentrated on his wound. The flesh mending back together, but you can only do too much, if you do too much, at this young of an age and less experience, you could die.

Your parents told you that. After a couple of seconds, you removed your hand from him and sat there as you felt something fall onto you.

It not only happened once, but several times. It got faster and faster until the sound rendered in your head as you realised it was raining. You looked over your shoulder at the lady behind you and saw her lifeless body as you saw in glow, her soul being taken up to the skies. You sobbed as you looked down.

You reached in your satchel and pulled out a few things. You left the boy two jars and an eyepatch with the letters 'A' and 'Z' on it before standing up. "I wish you the luck of the sea, and if fate brings us together, let's hope it's not on the battlefield, my friend." You said before running off to the cottage. And just like that, everything went dark.

Back into the non ending eternity of this black pit. Something you can never escape from. You want to run, you want to get away, but...you can't.

You have to wait for the nightmare to end. The things you see in your head, such as that one, confuses you. What are they? Memories? If so, shouldn't you be able to understand what they say most of the time instead of it being distorted?

But, all you know is that that little boy in your memory looks oddly familiar. But as if you'll be able to figure out why, or where you've seen him. This is where your road ends.

You felt something warm trickling down your cheeks. You used your hand to wipe it off and realised you're crying. You cried harder once you realised. You sobbed as this room echoed it throughout as far as an eye can see.

At least you and ATEEZ got something out of it, right? You save Changbin and they get their crew mate back, and get you finally getting out of their hair. You smiled to yourself. "I'm sorry..."

You heard screams. Wails of pain. No, not from you, from people you know, but you can't remember who they are. Gunshots echoed throughout, clashes of swords against swords, but something lingers in your head as if someone is whispering for you.

You have to come back.

That same voice from a while ago. You clasped your hands over your ears as you shook your head, wanting it to stop.

You have to come back!

You began to cry as he got louder, he wasn't just yelling out, or it wasn't just someone. No, it was him, it was him. He was demanding it, he cried, he wanted you back, he missed you.

YOU HAVE TO COME BACK!

His hazel eyes flashed in the black eternity as you shook your head no as you screamed louder as sobs and cries left your lips.

"Not over my dead body."

His bone chilling smile appeared back in your mind too. They both lingered there. The eyes are inviting but you don't want to go, the smile is scary and you want it to disappear, before it continues to haunt you. You looked around before standing up and running, as if it'll do any justice.

And with that a gunshot was heard throughout and you collapsed as you wanted to scream out in agony, but no sound escaped your mouth anymore. You just laid there as everything became faint. As if you could see your own body laying there.

Why can't I just die? You thought as you felt numbness course through your body as blood continued to pool around you as you felt your sight getting weaker.

You can't die, you promised me.

You chuckled as your eyes slowly closed, once and for all. This is the end of the road for you, finally. No more harm for the boys. No more harm for any of them. They'll be safe without you.

The three that knew your real gender before the 'big reveal'. The captain, the cook, the gunner, the navigator, and the battlemasters. I hope I saved Changbin. You chuckled as it was painful to do so.

Transferring his pain to you, his fate to you. No, you didn't just do this for them, you did it for everyone. Everyone that met you was put in harm's way because of you. I'm sorry...

You last said before you looked in the distance and saw a beautiful scene in front of you. The nine boys all laughing and smiling all together, without you. That's what you want, right?

You smiled weakly as you felt one final tear fall down your face as you felt your heart finally stop as the blood through your body slowly stopped flowing. "Goodbye, and I'm sorry. " You said with your final breath as you lay there, lifeless.
