Content Warning: Sexual Assault

"Hello?" called the girl as she softly darted her flashlight along the eerily hallway. While she walked, the soles of her shoes accompanied her, striking at the grimy marble floor that echoed at the abandoned building's black walls.

Just then, her light swept at what looked like human feet and she dove the light back, gasping at what she saw midair. Her heart began drumming out of her chest, and her breath broke out into heaves as the feet slowly rotated towards her direction. Her hands trembled, and so did the light that raked up to discern the floating figure. But before she could, the figure plopped to the floor, dragging the heavily trembling girl to flash the light down.

There, down on the floor, laid a crippled woman, with pale gray skin, and long black hair that covered her face. It made a creaking wail as it slowly rose into a disfigured crawl. Then it raced towards the lady with an ear-splitting shriek, and that was the last the lady was heard.

... Lame.

King huffed, he was not impressed. The remake of his favorite horror movie made his horror-sweetheart, Sadako, look more like a comical clown with a set of disabled limbs.

"It's not that scary, right?" King grumbled, aiming the question at the unmoving man beside him. When Yusef didn't answer, he looked at him. "... Right?"

Yusef was glowering at the television, before he blinked, furrowed brows uncrumpling as his attention darted at King. 

"R-right..." he said. A smile formed on his pretty lips. He cleared his throat and looked back at the television.

King stared at him from the corners of his eyes, suspicious, narrowed eyes boring at the alpha, whose scowl slowly returned. His eyes occasionally shut closed, a bit longer than the usual blink, opened into a scowl again, and the cycle continued.

Heh.

King propped an arm on the wingback sofa's armrest and rested his cheek on his knuckled fist. He was now watching the alpha's expression that seemed pleasantly amusing more than the horror movie he had long waited for on the flat screen in front of them.

Suddenly, there was another jump scare, and Yusef yelped. A few moments later, he gasped, seemed to realize what he had done, and he darted his head towards King, who was looking back at him with wide hazel eyes.

"Pfft!" Bits of saliva sprinkled out of King's pursed lips when he suppressed his laugh. Unable to take it, he burst out cackling, holding his pressing stomach. Yusef frowned at him.

"Don't tell me you were scared? So much for a professional martial artist," King said, cackling loud afterward.

"I-I just got surprised."

"Oh, really—"

Suddenly, the lights went out, enveloping the werecat and the werewolf in total darkness. From the silence that drilled around the room, voices of complaints arose from somewhere within the castle. 

King heard intense rustling come from the other side of his seat.

"King? King?!" It was Yusef, who sounded as if he was panicking. Well, he was.

"I'm here," King replied.

"King?!"

"I said I'm here!"

The star-filled heavens were there, knocking on the windows to bring a dim light, however, Yusef's heavy dark blue curtains shooed them off. 

"I—" Yusef mumbled.
