Dark Crown | a Yeonjun FF | Part 1 Complete

Ch 1. Tiffany

One day the world turned upside down.

And they came.

I had it all and with just a blink of an eye, all of it was gone.

I was talking to Ava over phone in my room and then suddenly piercing screams filled the house.

I couldn't even comprehend what was happening as I bolted downstairs.

But I was too late.

I didn't even know what they were.

Monsters.

Monsters clad in black.

There were two or maybe three?

Two of them bared it's teeth at me.

I screamed.

I saw the bloodied body of my dad laying on the floor, utterly battered down to the ground. Lifeless.

And mom begged the creature to spare me. She begged them in the name of God while clutching onto her bleeding abdomen.

In a swift flash, one of them lunged at me.

I felt my stomach burning and my insides getting ripped apart.

My vision started to get blurry.

"God."

Who is that entity?

Is it a he or a she? Or maybe it's a they?

Do they exist?

Definitely they should.

But where are they now?

Can they see me?

Can they hear me?

Maybe they can, but maybe they have no power.

Anger filled me.

If they don't have the power they claim, then should they not forfeit?

Vain.

Everything is in vain.

Can I not do something?

Anything to help me?

Do I just die?

NO!

I can't!

I won't just lay down and die!

I refuse!

I can not and I will not die.

Not now. Not ever.

I jolted back to consciousness.

Dark.

Too dark.

And I looked around at what was left of the dead bodies of my parents.

I checked my wounds and they were very fresh.

The gaping hole dug in my stomach and scratches on my throat pulsed in pain.

I felt my throat constricting and tears flowed down. Yet I couldn't utter a word.

What if they come back?

What if they come back to get me.

I silently mourned beside my dead parents with no knowledge of what to do.

No, I had to run away. I tried to search for my phone or any phone but everything was smashed down to the ground.

I looked around outside and everything looked dark.

They killed everyone.

I didn't even know where to run away.

I contemplated on whether running away to the woods was safe.

But I had to leave this place.

I started running.

I didn't even know that where I was running to.

After a while, I found myself standing in front of Ava's house.

The house stood there, in the gloom of darkness.

I felt another rush of tears.

And then I saw someone through the window.

It was some people.

Two of them.

They were in the house.

I hid behind the bushy fence.

I saw their silhouette looking around.

They were not monsters but humans.

Suddenly one of them turned back and stared directly at me.

I felt myself trip as I expected to land on my butt.

Instead two sturdy pale hands held me up.

I proceeded to scream but the same hands clasped my mouth shut.

I struggled to see who it was.

A man.

And there was something about this man that stopped the ache in my wounded abdomen and lulled me into a strange slumber.
