''we need another sacrifice...''

''aren't there two girls?''

''the one on the floor? it doesn't seem to work on her...''

''what? why?''

''we need to hurry...the Lord is getting impatient''

The faint echo of their voices somehow register through your elusive mind, ears picking up on every word they spoke.

Lord? They were working for someone?

Your vision is blurred as you try to discern your surroundings through the half open slit in your eyes, cheek cold against the floor as you lay sprawled there.

Your eyes barely make out the dark figures in your field of vision, and it takes you a few moments to recall what had previously happened.

''Mina?'' you call, abruptly sitting up as you rubbed your eyes. You see a pair of boots walk towards your fallen state, and it crouches down so you get a view of it's golden laced mask.

''You must be Y/N'' the words leave his mouth casually, his voice a mixture of honey and silk. He leans in, hooded eyes capturing yours as it searches your soul. As he does do, you can't help but notice the once fire in his eyes dowsed by ice, cold and stony as he stared at you.

You noticed all their eyes were like that, frozen like the surface of a winter puddle, devoid of emotion.

What had caused them to become like this?

He blinks, and the beauty of his eyes were momentarily covered by the shield of his eyelashes, and you take that chance to tear your gaze away from his alluring stare.

He looks away, standing to his feet once again. ''I get it now...''

''get what?'' you ask groggily, grabbing the wall for support as you stood up. You notice the unknown guy leaning against the wall, his eyes glinting in something you couldn't decipher.

''She doesn't fear'' the golden masked figure states simply, refocusing his gaze back onto you. His hands reach for your head, grasping a handful of hair. ''You wanna know how we compel people?''

''We evoke fear '' he whispers, and you slightly groan in pain as his hands grip your hair tighter.

''Too bad, I'm not scared'' you snarl through gritted teeth, forcing a smirk onto your face. He scoffs, his hands harshly releasing your hair, yanking you backwards.

''Where's Kai? And Mina? I did what you asked'' you glance towards the unknown guy, hoping for some reaction or answer, but he gives you none.

Another figure, adorning a bunny mask, elicits a dark chuckle. ''Don't worry about them...''

You clench your fists, your eyes burning in futile fury. ''Give them back''

Three of the cloaked men look down at you with sneering eyes, the arrogant glint in their eyes pissing you off. One had hearts decorated on his mask, the other had stars, and the third one had a peculiar snake symbol embedded next to his eye.

They ignore your request, turning their backs against you as they walked into the shadows. ''So annoying, we'll have the Lord deal with you...''

''Who the fuck is Lord?''

Two more of the cloaked men are left, leaning against the wall as they watched you with expressionless eyes.

''Shall I finish her off? She knows too much...'' the figure turns to you, giving you a clear view of a lightning spear engraved into his mask. A pocket knife danced and twirled at the tip of his fingers.
