Chapter 18 - Act 3

It had been about a month and a half the nightmares continued for both Ha-Joon and for Y/n, it seemed like a never-ending abyss of darkness and chaos, her nightmares had shown her places and things that were near to impossible in the human realm, the layers of her subconscious was very vast and portrayed her fears and her strengths.

Ha-Joon was still learning about his new ability to change things around him as he was now gaining power slowly unaware of what he truly was. Far beyond his own imagination and way beyond any human who could grasp.

It was the day before he went back to Seoul as the project had come to a close here in Halstad. Now he was one of the top names as an ambassador for The White Cape. Everything went smoothly and many fashion house tycoons had their eye on him to steal him away for their company.

{Time Skips Magically}

Since it was the last day of Caleb's friend Ha-Joon in Halstad, and the face of "The White Cape" he decided to take the entire crew on a little nature's outing. Over these past one and a half months he started feeling a certain way towards y/n and decided that he was going to break the news to her during the escapade.

At about noon a huge tourist bus arrived fully stocked with the luxuries of the world, it would be an understatement if Caleb was considered only as rich, but he was filthy rich, not only did his father give him wealth and bank balance but he also gained a stance in society on his own. But behind this innocent and handsome face lurked a dark lord who was yet to reveal to the world his real motive.

"Alright, people let's move before it's late" clapping his hand together to gain the attention of his co-workers. Far in one corner y/n stood observing and listening carefully. Her eyes suddenly met with another two pairs of eyes behind her boss who stared at her in a way that sent a chill up her spine.

Eventually, she moved towards the bus and got on making her way right to the end of the bus so that she could just chill by herself and could get the most deserved sleep. Putting her backpack in the overhead compartment and sat down close to the window. Quietly, minding her own business. when she felt a weight next to her making her feel uncomfortable .

As she turned and looked to her left, it was empty, she suddenly found everything freezes around her again, but this time she was able to move freely. So she got up from her where she sat and made her way to the center of the bus and looks around her surroundings. Everyone looked like they were statutes, but something caught her eyes, to the front of the bus stood a figure which she had never seen before but yet had a familiar scent radiate off him.

For a split moment, she thought she recognized another sulking figure in the corner to the right of this tall being.

"W-Who are you? W-What do you want ?" she trembled and fumbled while spoke to this mysterious man who stood like a ghost in front of her. Then she heard him chuckled at her. "What makes you think I will tell you ?" he spoke sarcastically run a finger along her jawline.

"Hey get your filthy hands off me" she pushed his hand away from her only to be pushed to the back of the bus by a cloud of thick black smoke. She could see his face but could only smell a familiar scent emitting from the dark cloud of smoke. It felt like hands were all over her arms and legs.

"Arghhh.... who the hell are you ?" she was now more upset than terrified by the whole phenomenon. She had was already accustomed to the fears she faced with her nightmares.

"Hahaha ..... you puny human didn't you get the message to stay away from the prince?" he spoke in a low menacing tone which made the hair on her neck stand on edge. " I don't know of this prince you talk about ." she tried her best to speak bravely not wanting to give in to this negative energy.

" Time shall be of essence " with a hushed whisper in her ear and pinning her on the backseat she now fought an unseen force that tried to do the unthinkable. "Let me go you bastard." tears started swelling up in her eyes. All she heard now was her name being called out and people screaming at the top of their lungs like crazy.

"OH MY GOD Y/N Y/N STOP STOP NOOOOOO" a deep familiar voice was heard in the distance. When she came to her senses she was at the edge of a cliff one foot hovering over the edge and the other about to take the fall.

With swift action, a tall male jumped in and caught her by the waist, and pulled her backward which led them to fall to the ground. " Ouch, where am I ?" she spoke now looking confused as just minutes ago she was inside the bus.

"What are you talking about? You were fast asleep on the bus. " One of her colleagues replied worryingly. "How is this possible ?" Y/n was very confused. It was then that she realized that the nightmares were now penetrating even in the daytime.

"Miss, could you maybe get off me " a husky voice spoke informing her of the position they were in . As she turned her head in the direction of the voice she panicked and jumped off the poor fellow. " I-I am sorry." she ran like her life depended on it.

She found herself hiding behind a huge tree, with her heart pounding like it was gonna explode into shards. The man who saved her looked in the direction where she ran off to and smirked, knowing fully that even though he saved he was later on gonna consume her .

She peaked out from behind the tree and was faced by non-other than the same scent from earlier on the bus. "It's you " she stepped back not daring to look up at his face. "Y/n , who are you talking about ? " only when she heard his voice she looked up into the eyes of her boss.

"CALEB " she stumbled back in horror.

{You smell of the soul that's worth the eat,

A shard of glass so feeble and weak,

Yet in the dark, you shine bright,

Call my name and I shall take flight.}
