Legendary Girl's Myth

MIYOUNG POV

My eyes creaked open and the first thing I saw is old looking ceiling.

I groaned when I get up as I felt massive headache in my head.

I realized that I am currently in a cottage and I saw a piece of paper with my name on it.

‘Miyoung, you need to run out of the cottage immediately.’ Were written on the paper.

My mind twisted. What does this whoever person want from me?

I walked out of the cottage and suddenly somebody shoot an arrow with fire on it to the cottage.

More fiery arrows flew to the cottage and I scurried away immediately as the cottage burning in fire.

Why?

What happened?

I ran into the woods but suddenly somebody bumped onto me harshly until both of us fell down to the ground.

"Find him and chained him!" A loud voice ordered from behind.

I had no time to look at the guy whom I had bumped. I believe the one who burnt down the cottage is hunting for me too. But before I could ran away, a pair of warm hands pulls me.

"Ms!" The guy spoke out.

"L-let me go!" I said in panicked tone and my eyes widened when I saw his face.

The familiar eyes which usually look at me with full of hatred but now looks very desperate and vulnerable.

"Help me, Ms!" Sehun said desperately.

"Get them!" A guy armoured with white uniform shouted.

One of the guard aims his gun to Sehun and shoot.

"S-Sehun!"

I jerked upwards with sweats all over my body.

No one is here but I know this isn't exactly my room.

I saw another 5 single beds on my right.

5 plus 1 equal to 6.

6 people.

EXO?!

I immediately get up and was about to run out from the room before a pair of hands grabbed my shoulder.

"Let me go!" I squirmed as I punch wherever I could reach on him.

"Stop." Jongin growled and I instantly froze.

But I did something he will never expect from me.

"Help me!!!" I screamed on top of my lungs but my screams stop abruptly when Jongin poke my throat with his index finger very hard.

Ouch. That's hurts.

Really hurts.

"I said stop. Stop doing whatever you want to do." Jongin's grip on my shoulders tighten and I could feel my bone crushed.

"W-what are you going to do to m-me?" I asked rather like a soft whisper.

"I found that you're so cute when you lose all your self-esteem, your arrogant self, your ego..." Jongin smirked.

"Maybe Joonmyun hyung should push you inside the lake earlier." Jongin chuckled.

"Anyway, you'll follow me darling. Everyone had been ready for your ceremony." Jongin added.

Killing ceremony to be exact.

"L-let me use the bathroom f-for awhile.." I said, trying to get more time to think.

I may be saying that I didn't scared of them before, but right now I'm scared thinking the way they'll kill me.

"Anything you want before you die." Jongin said and let me went to the bathroom.

I get into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Think Miyoung, think Miyoung.

The window is too small to fit my body.

Failed.

There is no weapon in this bathroom.

Failed.

And just that time, I saw a sharp razor.

Yes, that could help me for this time!

I put it inside my pocket before get out of the bathroom.

"Let's go." Jongin said when I get out and once he pulls me to him, we're already in the forest instead of the dormitory.

"Good morning, Miyoung. Did you had a good sleep especially when you're sleeping on my bed?" Kyungsoo asked in sarcasm as he crossed his arms.

I hate him. He have very bad eyesight. It was like his stare could kills me.

I wish I could use the razor to shave all over his perfect face.

But at least he is kind enough to let me sleep on his bed.

"Let's start the killing ceremony!" Baekhyun chirped in excitement.

"Is this even 10.48 AM? Because you declare that you're going to kill me at that time. Each seconds are very important for me." I shrugged.

"Are you scared, Miyoung?" Jongin challenged.

"Hell no!" I growled.

They lead me in front of a huge tree that looks like a Banyan tree.

The sight of the tree is enough to creeps me out.

I saw a table in front of it.

There was a knife and some candles that lit up on the table.

"Is this even legal?" I asked.

"What?" Chanyeol asked back.

"This is more than killing, this is scarifying me for some kind of ritual!" I replied.

"Yes, we are scarifying you to the tree of life." Baekhyun replied.

"No wonder the name given was tree of life. How many life had you sacrifice for the tree?" I asked.

I hope I could take more times until maybe they'll forget to kill me.

"Don't waste any time! Go talk to that tree." Joonmyun pushed me to the tree and my face almost hit the tree if not because for my legs who had been supporting me to stop.

"Why?" I asked in low tone.

"Just talk to the tree so it know which soul that will be sacrificed." Joonmyun said casually and I snorted.

"Does the tree could talk?" I asked as I made my way to the tree.

"Just go." Kyungsoo gritted his teeth.

As my hands placed on the tree, all my memories come back to me in rush.

I felt empty all of sudden.

A high pitch noise echoes around my ears making me deaf to the world.

I fell to my back as if somebody invisible pushed my numb body.

"Miyoung!" Baekhyun shouted as I saw him kneeled next to me and so the others.

Why does he sounds so worried about me?

I hate the fact that they masked their hatred to me.

My eyes shifted to a woman whom I longing to see before. She is standing behind Chanyeol.

The woman who has left me since I was 15 years old.

The woman who teach me to never rely on man.

Mom.

"Miyoung." Mom called.

Am I going to die?

"Mom..." My hand tried to reaches out for my mom but she walked away from me.

"Mom!" I said in higher tone as I pushed all the guys that were surrounding me and run after my Mom.

"Mom, wait!" I shouted as tears filled my eyes.

I had been waiting for years to see her back.

To see her smile.

To feel her love.

I can't let she go away now.

Not even her soul.

I was still running even when Mom wasn't in my sight anymore.

I'm hoping I could find her, that's why I still running.

Just then, I saw a guy holding a gun and aimed it to me.

"Miyoung!" I felt a hand pulled me roughly and we ended up rolling on the ground as I heard two gunshots.

I was breathing heavily while my glassy eyes stare at him.

My whole body is shaking under Sehun's grip.

I almost got shot.

I almost got killed.

"A-are you okay?" Sehun asked as he moved from my body.

"Yes..." I whimpered and didn't bother to get up.

I laid flatly on the ground while Sehun sat up next to me.

I heard another rows of gunshot and before everything turns into dead silence.

"Why?" I spoke out.

"Why did you save me? I'll still die in your hands..." I said rather like a whisper.

"I owed you my life..."

"So now I'm no longer in debt..." Sehun whispered.

I was about to ask what does he meant by but my eyes shifted to a tree and there were some words carved on it.

'Stay alive, Miyoung. You need to.'

"Sehun, do it now." Chanyeol said and throw a knife to Sehun which he catches very well.

There must be something behind the message.

I need to stay alive, I need to...

"No!" I was about to run away but Sehun grabbed my leg and my face hit the ground.

I kick him on wherever my legs could reach and run away when I heard he groaned in pain as his grip loosened.

I dashed in the forest without thinking.

I heard another footsteps chasing me right behind me.

Sehun lunged over me and I fell down to the ground.

My skin burns as Sehun accidentally dragged me to the ground.

"Let me go!" I hissed as he hold both of my hands.

"You're strong, Miyoung." Mom's voice whispered next to my ear.

I struggle under his grip and my energy drains every seconds I attempt to push him away which he didn't moved even an inch.

"L-let me go..." I said and squirm under his grip as my vision turns blurry because of the tears.

Mom.

If I stay alive just to get you back.

I'll do it.

My pleadings isn't working at all, especially when Sehun was staring at me with his cold and dull eyes.

Sehun pinned me to the tree with his tight grip on my hands. At that time, I knew that the sharp razor will not help me at all.

"P-please..." I pleads as single tear escaped from my eyes.

"P-please, S-sehun!" My voice cracked and I cried even harder.

I throw my pride and dignity because of the stupid message.

Sehun's grip on me loosened but I didn't dare to move. His eyes fills with guilt and concern.

"Sehun, what are you doing?!" Joonmyun and Kyungsoo growled.

"Kill her!" Kyungsoo shouted.

"Help me, Sehun..." I breathed out.

"I-I c-can't do t-this..." Sehun said as his eyes filled with tears.

Why? I never know that I had that effect to Sehun.

"That is not the girl you love, Sehun! She's a witch! She tried to be her!" Jongin yelled.

Jongin's eyes were glassy too if my vision is not mistaken.

"No! I don't care whether she is the love of my life or not!" Sehun growled.

"I'll protect her. Maybe it's time to pay my debt to my love." Sehun added.

I stayed silent as Sehun's eyes never leave mine.

"Stop blaming yourself! She didn't die because of you!" Joonmyun shouted.

"She died because of me! If I know what'll happen that night, I could save her..." He paused.

"I-If this is the second chance from the God to save my love, then, I'll be not wasting the second chance." Sehun said, he get up and pulls me to get up too.

"I'll protect her. So, if you want to kill her, you must fight me with first."
