Chapter Sixteen

Sensitive Scenes Ahead

Peter's Point Of View

Flashback

"A toilet looks so big when you're two inches tall." I mumbled to myself as I walked towards it.

I'm doing a little exploring while Lyla was at work. Her bathroom is really nice.

I hummed a little tune as I walked behind the toilet. Then the bathroom door slammed shut. I squeaked slightly and jumped. Peaking out from behind the toilet, I saw Lyla.

And, she's holding a razor blade.

Her mascara was running down her face and her eyes red.

She glared down sadly at her forearm.

Then she did it.

The razor plunged deep into her precious skin. Her innocent body.

Devastating red spread across her arm. She drew the line from her wrist to the forearm of her elbow.

"No." I whispered "Lyla. Lyla stop." I walked forwards slowly as she started to sway on her feet. "Don't do this. Don't do this to yourself."

The blade fell from her hands. And then she fell.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

I changed. I changed into a human.

I held Lyla in my arms, clutching her forearm, trying desperately to keep the blood inside her.

"Nalla!" I screamed, tears pouring down my cheeks.

The girl I love, she's dying.

Nalla flew into the room, but as soon as she saw the scene, she stood as a human before me. "Oh my God." She gasped and dropped down beside me.

"Hyung?" Nick's voice asked from around the corner.

"No!" Nalla shouted. The sound of footsteps stopped. "Don't come in!" Nalla locked the door behind her.

"Did she...." Nalla drifted off, looking up at me with wide, fearful eyes.

I sniffed and nodded slowly.

Nalla shot up and began to tear apart the bathroom, looking for what she needed.

What she needed to save her.

I brushed Lyla's hair from her face with shaking hands.

"You're gonna be okay. You're alright, I promise. You're just taking a little nap, that's all. This is just a nightmare. Don't worry." I whispered, my fingers shaking so badly.

Nalla returned and locked eyes with me. She looked worried. But I know it isn't about Lyla.

I swallowed and looked away.

It's all just a nightmare.
