I stood up from the floor and ran, trying to chase her down for answers, running left and right eventually finding her walking towards the elevator.
.
I grabbed her shoulders. "Wait, are you a curse too?" Words burst out from my mouth as she was shock to hear what i told her.
"How did you know I'm cursed? And what do you know about them?" She ask me while pinning me at the wall grabbing my collar.
I pointed out the curse mark in her neck.
"This is your curse mark right?"
.
She lets go of my collar and stopped pinning me at the wall. I showed her my curse mark in my shoulder.
"I have it too". She then proceed to inspect my mark. "You have a different one, what does it give you? The benefits?" i had no clue what she said. I looked in her with curiosity.
"What do you mean differently and what benefits?" She then showed the mark on her neck.
.
It was a circle, an eye in the middle and vines surrounding the symbol, it was darkish red.
"It gives me improved vission, agility and i can quite sense the beings how about yours?" She kindly asked.
It's not like it's good but is it like common to have those for buff. "I only have strong sense of enemies and have a huge presence that the beings can sense" i responded to her.
She then burst out laughing in front of me after hearing the buff i had. "That's not even a benefit, except for the sense. It's a debuff" she laughs as she told me that.
.
Yea I'm ashamed. "Anyways since we have our contacts already, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Emily Smith I'm from the archer club."
Emily smith... i recognized the name. "You're the president of the archery club right? The immigrant?" I quickly asked her.
"Yes I'm the president of the club and to be correct I'm a foreign-born" she responded with confidence.
"What even is the difference of foreign-born and immigrant?..." I asked her with confusion.
"Immigrant means moving to another country and foreign-born, being born into a different country. Therefore I'm american but born here in korea" she responded, Now it makes sense...
.
"Now introduce yourself to me." She really wanted to know a lowly being like me...
"I'm Kim Eun Park, a lowly being obviousl-" she then stopped me. "Yea i know now from the name..."
She already know my identity, according to her face she knows how sad is my life.
.
"Well since were both cursed how about we team up together" She asked me, it's a good benefit to have a teammate just to survive from this attack, but i kept having a bad feeling.
.
In the end i accepted the invitation for team.
After that we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways to our home.
.
Eventually i got home safely, i instantly went to my room, in tiredness i just laid down on my bed without changing my uniform.
.
"Heya, hows the day?" It's Gyeong... i wonder what happened to her while I'm being chased.
"Oi gyeong where were you earlier?"
"I'm on your bag the whole day, why you asked?" She really did not felt anything earlier? Then i proceed to tell her what happened.
.
.
.
"Ah, so you were chased and met a cursed girl?" I nodded in agreement.
"And your telling me the curse mark gives her buffs?" I nodded again.
I asked her "Why didn't you tell me that the marks gives you buff?". "Like do i even know."
She responded to me with annoyance.
"I'll try to look into it, about those marks though...". She said to me, i was happy about it, i only know how big my senses and presence to anger those beings...
.
Hours pass and my phone's notification went off.
[New message: Hey it's me emily, i need you to come over my house.]
It was shocking to see this, I'm confused why.
[Me: Why do i need to?]
[Emily: I'll explain the details here~]
My face was red when i saw that mark.
[Message unsent]
[Emily: The mark was a mistake, just come here and I'll explain the details]
I took a deep breath, i think what will happen. What are those details shes speaking of.
She then messaged me the address, i changed my uniform to mg usual jogging pants and long sleve shirt.
I dragged Gyeong and go to her house. We eventually arrived the front gate. I rung the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Emily's voice came out from the intercom. "It's me Eun park" the gates automatically open. "Go inside, I'll be waiting at the front door"
.
I enter the gate, her house has a big front yard with alot of greenery, how rich even is she? I then met the house.
The house was a modern style, it was big, from the front yard cold breeze of the night can be felt, the architect really made a good house for them.
"Hey, sorry for interrupting your rest-in-bed time!" emily shouts as she stands at the fancy front door.
.
"I currently live alone, so it's okay to stay. Anyways I'll explain the details inside." I have suspicions that something will happen...
"Heya Eun, oh is this Emily?" Gyeong appeared out of nowhere... "Hey Kim is this? A spirit?"
Emily was confuse and cautious at the same time about gyeong.
"Shes annoying yes but shes friendly, trustable"
Gyeong shouts "Hey don't badmouth me infront of someone" gyeong was annoyed.
Emily giggled, "well then come inside your both welcome." We entered her house, the inside was massive, the couch and giant flat screen tv met us first.
"Take a sit I'll go get us a drink for us to discuss" we took a sit at the couch, whilst gyeong sat on my shoulder.
"Hey Eun, you think something will happen?"
Gyeong asked me, I nodded "Maybe"...
.
Emily appeared with a tea set, she prepared a tea for us..
"Now your maybe wondering why i invited you guys, so... a being is hiding in this house. Your presence can make the beings show themselves right eun?"
I nodded "and make them angry yes." Emily nodded, then it's a better plan, so since tomorrow will be weekends, how about staying here for the night?
"Are you sure about that emily?" I asked, it's sure a shock to hear those words, staying at a girls house for the night?
"Don't get any ideas, your here to help me exterminate this beings, it already broke expensive stuff." I then nodded "sure I'll stay but where do we sleep?"
.
"We have an unused guest room upstairs, you can use that" Emily then asked us to follow her to the guest room.
We reached the guest room, it was big, it has its own flat screen. And a wide bed.
"Well then since it's this late, how about taking a rest now?" She asked me kindly? Yes it's midnight i then agreed to her.
"Well just call me on your phone or just shout if it showed up" she then waves her hands went to her room at the end of the hallway.
.
I closed the door and went to the bed, it was comfy. "Hey Eun you think it's safe?" Gyeong asked, i survived two attacks now. And i wondered too... will i survive this one too?
I shook everything out from my head "It's okay, i already survived two attacks, now let's rest and find the monster later or tomorrow night"
I then quickly fall asleep due to the comfiness the bed had.
.
.
Time passes i woke up, my throat was quite dry, maybe getting a glass of water is not a bad idea...
I open the door and went out the hallway. I walked, walked, kept walking and so on...
Why the hallway seems like so long, i walked too far and kept meeting doors and doors, plants and plant-
I realized something... the plant, the daisy... i then ran in the hallway, only seeing it again... The plant, and the daisy, same location, same vase, same position now i realized it...
I'm inside a loop... once i realize it, i was too late, i sensed it a strong aura feeling the looped hallway, a high being, is it my end? Is this it?
The aura kept getting stron
ger and stronger I can't widstand the aura, i fell down to my knees feeling hopeless from the aura.
I was screaming but no voice was being heard. I'm now screaming in silent.
