Yuna pushed herself forward, with the help of a wind, to avoid the beam but little did she know, the tip corner of the beam reached her left side which caused the wound.
Pain course through her body from her left side. Yuna pressed the wound for pressure, as warm liquid flows little by little.
Blood stain was not obvious because of her black shirt. The cut was not that deep but was enough for blood to flow.
When Marlon answered her question, Yuna barely heard his answer. Catching her breath, her vision blurred as her blood kept flowing.
"We are alright!! Just no way out!! " Marlon shouted so the others can hear him. Without knowing Yuna's wound.
"Keep away from the beams. The police are coming!!" Mr. Lee replied.
Rei and the others are grouped together with Mr. Lee with them.
"They are alright inside. You don't have to worry. They will get out of there soon." I hope, Mr. Lee added inside.
...
Mr. Lee was in sending reports to the office during the break time. He was about to get back to the gym when he saw his dancers running outside with fear in their faces.
He ran to them as he heard loud banging and clashing inside the gym. Roanna explained what is happening inside when they heard a scream.
"Yuna!!" They saw Rei was about to run towards her. Luckily, Freya grabbed him to keep him away from the gym or they would get caught with the debris.
The others saw what happened. Some thought they got crushed, though some prayed they didn't. Still, fear covered their faces as they called their name.
"Yuna!! Yuna!!..."
"Marlon!!... "
They felt relieved when Marlon shouted back saying that both of them are alright. Yet, one of them was not satisfied about it.
Rei felt a different sensation within him. The feeling of danger, no, more like death.
...
When Marlon went back to Yuna, He noticed that her face is so pale.
"Yuna, what's wrong? You're so pale." He knelt down beside her and saw the blood flowing.
"No no no. Please, don't... " one of his fears is in front of him, fear of losing someone, yet he held back his tears and pulled up some courage.
Yuna kept herself conscious all the time while her energy is slipping away. She kept her mind calm and did not rashly move so her wound would not open more. Controled her breathing to conserve her energy to stay conscious.
Marlon calmed himself and help Yuna lay down properly using his bag as her pillow to get her comfortable.
"Pressure... Wound... ", Yuna painfully stated, catching her breath since her hand is lossing its strength.
Marlon removed her hand in the wound and lift up her shirt just right to see the wound. He endured the sight of blood flowing out as he hurriedly picked up an unused towel in his bag and went for the pressure using his left hand. While his right hand reached for his phone to contact Mr. Lee.
"Mm!" Yuna flinch and endured the pain. Trying herself to keep it together.
*Krriinngg* *Krriinngg*
After two rings, no one answered. Marlon hurriedly dials it twice or thrice until it is answered. While waiting for the phone. Marlon spoke weakly as tears streamed.
*sniff* "I'm sorry... I should not have slowed back... Iā" , he words got cut off when a hand held his face.
"No... Don't blame yourself... It is my choice", then she thought about confirming D-sense has deactivated. Determined that no one gonna die she continued, "Don't worry... I tell you... that no one is going to die... even me". She reassured with her eyes half-closed.
*Krriinngg* *click*
"Marlon? What's wrong?!", Mr. Lee worried and hurriedly answered.
Some of the dancers stayed to guard their things adding Mr. Lee's. One of them noticed that there is a vibrating and a ringing phone within the bags. Looked for it and saw that it was their coach's, he hurriedly pick up the phone and ran to give it to Mr. Lee, who was talking with the police.
"Sir... Please hurry... *sniff*", Marlon said softly and slowly burst into tears.
"Speak clearly. I can't understand you." but somehow he already felt something was wrong.
"Yuna is wounded. Please hurry. It's still flowing and she's very pale. Please...".
Mr. Lee and the others who heard it were tensed up. The authorities speed up with their work getting them out of there.
Rei's heart skip a beat when he heard about it. 'Yuna?' Unconsciously, gust of wind swirled around him. Anger swallowed his emotions, angry to himself. As his emotion rose up, the wind got stronger.
Everyone around him were pushed back not knowing what is happening. Rei stepped forward towards the gym. Subconsciously controlling the wind to carry the beams to make a path.
When Marlon saw the way out, his shoulders became light. A silhouette of a man entered their vision moving towards them.
Bright green eyes stared at them as tears streamed down, facing pale Yuna covered in blood, as wind swirl around him softly as he calms himself. His body cannot withstand the overwhelming power and emotions, the green eyes gradually returned to brown. He fell to his knees and unconscious.
The authorities went inside the gym putting at the back of their minds on what just happened. Carrying a stretcher with them.
Being placed in a stretcher, Yuna saw what happened to Rei. Her consciousness gradually slipping away but before it ran out, green light enters her vision.
...
Marlon is standing at the side, hands covered in blood, watching the Yuna and Rei being placed in the stretcher. Suddenly the gem inside his chest pocket vibrated as it emits green light which became blinding and covered them all.
...
"Where... am I?", Yuna wondered her surroundings. After the green light entered her vision it gradually became gray, more like thick fog which she is wondering now.
Yuna looked around her. Unfortunately, there is nothing except the thick fog she's in. She tried to walk around but noticed that there is no ground.
Looking at herself, wearing a one-piece sleeveless white dress as the ends of her hair turned gradient blue. A see-through body, floating by itself.
She moved around to find out where or what is this place. After a few minutes of moving around, she found an opened gold gate with white lanterns on its posts. Yuna slowly went near it until, someone spoke behind her.
"You cannot enter there, my dear. No human soul is allowed to go beyond that gate.", a sweet high-noted voice warned.
Yuna turn around to face who spoke since she found no one just a few seconds ago. There she saw a fair-skinned lady wearing a long white silk dress, with silver beads as her belt. Covered by a long gray cotton cloak around her, hood covered the upper half of her face with only rosy lips exposed. In her left hand holds a scepter? No, it is a long torch, a withered yet sturdy stand and two unextinguished fire lit up.
'Who?' Yuna asked inwardly unknown to her that her face shows what her question is. The lady answered her question.
Smiling she pulled down her hood showing her majestic face, clear magical eyes and fair skin as her curly silver hair smoothly run down to her knees, saying, " I, who associates the spiritual and astral worlds. Goddess of magic and witchcraft, Hecate".
