Chereads / The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love / Chapter 44 - Nothing or Something

Chapter 44 - Nothing or Something

The General walked past a little forest, looking around in daze as he took in his surroundings, he didn't know where he was, his feet were heavy and tears dropped down his face unknowingly, he felt thirsty, like he had cried and his throat hurt, he heard the soft sound of water, he ran towards the source of the noise and saw a small pond, thirsty as he was, he quickly paced towards it and started drinking but the more he drank the more he got thirsty, he kept his eyes closed as he put his mouth straight into the pond and started drinking, the water seemed to be getting warmer and warmer, making him feel uncomfortable, he opened his eyes slightly only to stumble back in horror, he quickly touched his mouth and found something sticky on his whole face.

He...he had been drinking blood, there was no water, only blood, crimson red, painting his hands and face, he had been feeding on blood, he looked around in fright and found a figure sitting by the pond on the other side, it was too foggy,he could not see the person's face but he could make out that it was actually a man, a pitite man, he stumbled over to the figure, he wanted to walk but his legs didn't move, they had been broken and rendered useless, he finally reached to the man with great difficulty.

"Who are You?', the man asked but his voice seemed too familiar, of course he knew this voice how could he not know who this voice belonged to, it was his precious Hyuk.

"Hyuk, it's me, your Hyung, what are you doing here?", The General asked, trying to caress his face, but the man dodged his hand and frowned.

"You have gotten the wrong Person, I am..I am..who am I?", the man asked panicked.

"Who am I, who am I, why can't I remember, who am I?", the man asked again.

"Hyuk, look at me", The General said and reached over his hand to only touch the sticky fluid again.

"How do i see, I can't see anything", the man replied poking the space where his eyes were supposed to be.

"Hyuk", the general screamed, seeing the streams of blood that came out of his lover's body and filled the pond.

"Husband, Husband, my Husband must be home, I need to cook dinner, he gets very tired after cultivating for the whole day", the man got up from his place, and started walking to one direction, the stream of blood still continuing to mix with the water in the pond.

"Hyuk, Hyuk, Hyuk", The General yelled but nothing happened the man disappeared right in front of his eyes.

He tried to writh away and follow the man but he could not, he was floating away like a ghost, he wanted to scream again when a man tapped his shoulders.

"Sir, have you seen my lover?", the man asked tears and blood mixing on his face, he wore an extremely sorry face, making the General's heart break into pieces.

"Hyuk?", the General called helplessly, his chest had split open by now and he wanted to just embrace his lover before dying z just once, just once.

"My lover, I have not seen him for quite sometime, he told me to wait for him, my Gamja is not there, he must be somewhere here, I was stubborn and hurt him, have you seen him?", The man asked.

"Hyuk, please....", the General begged, his body was aching and his heart was cut open.

"Why would not you tell me, where, please please, I beg you, we will leave this place, we will go far away, I am no God, I am just an ugly human", The man screamed in pain tearing his abdomen open.

"Hyuk, Hyuk,please don't do this, please look at me", The General called again and again.

"He cannot have you, I can't have you, how can he, he caused all this, he wanted to keep you for himself, he wanted to tear us apart, I am going to kill him, it's all because of Hyuk, if I kill him, you will come back to me, Won is also waiting, Is he waiting, I have not seen him for quite sometime, where is he, where am I?", The man asked in confusion.

"Oh, I forgot again, I need to find my Gamja, Good Sir, have you seen my Lover?", The man asked and cried again and started walking away.

"Have you seen my husband?", the ghost from earlier came back, this time howling, like he was crying and mourning.

"Oh, you are here, let's go eat now,it's been a long day", the ghost said and started helping him up, but then stopped.

"No, No, No, he is dead, he is dead, my husband is dead", he screamed furiously and pulled out his heart from his body, before he started eating it, the puss broke from his body and his gouged out eyes turned black, and then red and then more blood came out, until he was soaked in blood once again and sat by the pond and started crying in agony.

"In life, I death, in hell, we will always be together", the weak soul cried out, quite clearly driven crazy by the loss of its loved one, it still chewed on its heart, wanting to see again.

"He will die, he is going to die, you can't save him, you can't save your loved either, he is a misfortune, throw him away, he will kill you, kill you and eat you, chew you until your bones rot, he is the misfortune, kill him, Kill him, kill him", the two souls screamed at him, making his cry and writh in pain, their voices were sharp.

"Kill him", the soul said handing a sharp knife to the General.

"Kill Hyuk, Kill him, Kill him", The souls screamed furiously, tightly grabbing his hands, to put the knife through the body that was lying besides him, who was lying besides him again, was it a theif, an evil soul, it could be, I need to kill it, the general thought but as he was about to stab the knife in the man's heart,.

"No, no, no,,nooooooo", the General screamed and woke up breathlessly, his hands were shaking and his face was full of tears, he looked around and found that he was still in his own room, Hyuk was lying besides him.

It was just a dream, it was just a dream, I would not kill Hyuk, it must be nothing", the General said to himself took a deep breath to control his shaking when his eyes fell on his right hand.

His right hand where he was still holding the knife, the blood on his hands was still there, now dried and cracked.

He put his hand in his mouth to feel what was inside it, when he felt a lump of meat stuck in his mouth, he slowly pulled it out in front of his eyes and the half chewed heart lay in his hand, the two souls looking over at him with a sad expression on their faces.

"Keep it hidden, you need to kill, there will be blood, a lot of blood, you have to live", the soul said and slowly got the knife back from the General holding it in his own hand, he changed something and then pressed it against the General's heart, making him scream in pain.

"Ahhhhhhhh", he yelled in pain, gasping for air as he felt someone had been choking him, there was no air in his lung.

"Hyung, Hyung, are you okay?", Hyuk asked worried.

"Hyuk?", the General called with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay Hyung, you just had a nightmare, it's okay", Hyuk answered and hugged him tightly, rubbing small circles on his back to relieve him.

"A nightmare yes, it's nothing, just a nightmare", the General said hugging Hyuk closer then before, but there was a slight pain in his chest and his legs were hurting.
