Chapter 4.

inside a large hospital of Seoul lay a young girl who seemed to be in distress, rolling around and groaning, sweat was engrossing her body, till suddenly leaning up in fright.

"UGH!.....huh? whe-where....the hospital?" looking around in confusion and question

cutting her from her train of thought, doors were slide open as 2 men entered dressed in suits with one staring in interest well the other seemed poker faced.

"morning miss Yu we hope your feeling well" greeting her and easing the quiet and awkward mood

"*ahem*" clearing his throat the other man looked at him

"ahh yes, miss Yu if you don't mind, may you please tell us what happened inside the dungeon?" as if remembering something he waited for her to respond

"...." still not quite in the right mind set Yao-Yu lay there just staring at the two

"....miss Yu?" reaching out his hand, Yao-Yu flinched as if afraid

seeing this the man quickly retracted his hand, wishing not to put on bad grounds between them, however as Yao-Yu started seemingly looking around, it seemed as though she were trying to find something.

"miss Yu....?" Looking back at them the two caught her attention once again

"*ahem* as I was saying miss Yu can you te-" interrupting the man as she stood up

"can you hear that?" speaking finally the two looked at her confused

"hear what miss?" curious and indifferent she kept looking around again

"the voice, the voice of death, he's speaking to me even now" looking straight at them

the two of the men even more confused looked at her as if she were crazy, insane even, not getting anywhere the man sighed looking back at his comrade, shaking his head the two excused themselves leaving the room.

"well then....we'll be seeing you miss Yu" leaving and shutting the doors

"wh-what do you want with me now?" speaking to the air in a shaky voice was Yao-Yu

with nothing happening, she waited and waited, as nothing happened she still stood there, ready and waiting till suddenly

"I.WANT.YOU" speaking out loudly was a cold, dark and deep voice as it responded throughout the room, making her shudder and walk back into a wall.

"why....why me?" still shaking and in fear she couldn't help her curiosity

"...BECAUSE YOUR....INTERESTING" pausing for a moment, Yao-Yu gained confusion from it

"what? what the hell does that mean, also why couldn't those men hear you?" in an attempt to find out she stepped forward

"BECAUSE I DID NOT ALLOW THEM TOO, YOU ARE MINE AND WITH THAT I AM ALSO YOURS IN A WAY" saying so confused her even more so

"what do you mean I'm yours and your mine?" Looking at her body in curiosity

"YOU WILL FIND OUT SOON" standing there she tilted her head in wonder

Cutting her from her thoughts as the doors slide open once more, revealing a young girl with black hair and dark brown eyes and looked tired from running.

"Ling? what're you doing he-" cutting her off as Ling hugged her tightly

"YAO-NIM?! WHAT HAPPENED HOW'D YOU END UP HERE?!" surprising her she held her back

"calm down I'm fine Ling, I'm okay now....see?" pushing her away as she showed herself

with tears that rolled down her cheeks, Yao-Yu smiled 'yeah I gotta stay for her sake, after all I'm the only family member she's got' thinking about her sister she felt pain knowing she almost left her little sister to be alone.

".....sorry Ling, sorry for making you worry, sorry for be an idiot, sorry for not trying harder as a sister....sorry for leaving you alone" as a tear streamed down her cheek she held Ling tighter

holding each other for a while, they both started laughing at the embarrising scene they had just made, looking at each other Yao-Yu placed her hand on Ling head patting her.

"MORTALS ARE WEIRD" cutting off the moment a voice rang out to Yao-Yu

"ARGH!" jumping up and tensed, surpring Ling-Yu and similarly making her jump

"WH-WHAT IS IT SIS?!" worried and frightened Ling didn't know what happened

"ah...ahhh no-nothing sorry I just remembered I need to go to the bathroom is all" quickly rushing out the door and leaving

speedily walking towards a store room, Yao-Yu had finally made it, stepping into one of the rooms turning and locking the door.

"OKAY THAT IS ENOUGH WITH THE JUMPS OKAY!?" annoyed and awaiting a response

"um...hello, mister creepy voi-" calling out inside

"HMMM?" scaring her as she jumped up only to hit her foot

"nothING....ow" grabbing her foot as she looked around again

"where are you, no more importantly what are you?" Looking around trying to find the source

"I AM A SOVEREIGN OF DEATH....OR WAS BUT NOW I AM YOU AND YOU ARE M-" cutting it off as she already knew

"yes, yes I am you and you are me I got it...but what I don't got is, HOW ARE YOU TALKING?" waving her hands around as if trying to hit something

"IM INSIDE YOUR MIND, WE ARE ONE I FUSED MY SOULS ESSENCE WITH YOURS SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE" revealing the truth, Yao-Yu stood there for a moment, dazed.

"wh-what? come again....you? you hiding? FROM WHAT?" scared after hearing that since death himself is hiding

"SOVEREIGNS WHO WISH TO KILL ME AFTER I BETRAYED THEM" confused and trying to pick herself up

"Okay....look you ever heard the phrase, too much information" slowly losing herself with what's going on

"NO, WHAT DOE THAT ME-" curious and questioning it was intrigued

"*sigh* nothing never mind, well look what exactly do you hope to accomplish by being inside my body? I'm not exactly strong enough to fight whatever those things are, so they'll probably end up killing us both anyway" looking down and trembling a little just thinking about death

"THAT IS IF YOU STAY LIKE THIS, HOWEVER I HAVE A SOLUTION, FOR INSTANCE" popping up as a blue like screen popped up in front of her

[do you wish to take on contract "Sovereign of death" if so please select Yes or No]

"hoi...the heck is this, am I seeing things?" rubbing her eyes in confusion

"NO YOU ARE NOT" answering her question she still some what was confused

"then what is this?" pointing at it and looking in interest

"AGREE WITH IT AND YOU WILL SEE" edging her on, all she could do was sigh and agree

[do you wish to take on contract "Sovereign of death" if so please selcet >Yes< or No] selecting Yes a new screen had popped up

reading it she was faced with dread, reading the "Penalty quest" she looked to the air once more.

"if you don't mind me asking....WHAT THE F*** IS THIS S*** HUH!?" angered and annoyed at this she blew a fuse

"THIS IS EXACTLY AS IT SAYS, ALL SOVEREIGNS HAVE THIS, THERE ARE SOVEREIGNS IN DIFFERENT REALMS ALSO WHO ARE BEING HUNTED SUCH AS THE SHADOW MO-" Being cut of as Yao-Yu simply sighed

"ENOUGH...it's all too...confusing for me *whew* so what happens if I fail? do I fight a skeleton or something?" pointing at the "Penalty quest"

"NO YOU WILL BE TRANFERED OVER TO THE REALM OF DEATH TO FACE GIANT BONE KNIGHTS" hearing this Yao-Yu was straight faced till

"bone knights huh....bone knights.....WHAT THE FU-no, no, no enough this is fine, I'll just quickly do this workout and I'm done right?" breathing in and out she was in more stress than ever

"YES JUST DO THESE SETS OF TASKS AND YOU SHALL BECOME FREE OF THE PENALTIES" reassuring her, she stood up albeit slowly

"Okay than lets get this show on the road shall we?" opening up the door what entered view was 4 doctors standing at the door

Staring at her she was confused, not bothering she walked passed them quickly going back to her room, as she did she noticed her sister was gone leaving a note on her bed side table.

"sorry Yao-Nim but I got a warning from the nurses that visiting hours were over, seeing as your okay guess I'll head back home, please recover soon okay and stay safe please, for both our sakes love you Yao-Nim I'll come visit again tomorrow"

reading it she smiled, placing the note back on the table, as she did she looked at the time as it was currently 10:34pm thinking if she slept for 10 hours that gives her 14 hours to finish the task, sleeping the day away she smiled happily getting in the bed.

'guess I'll get the task done first thing in the morning, it shouldn't be so hard' thinking about it she closed her eyes
