《Playtime》Chapter twenty One

"Come with me," I say pulling Savanna along through the house. She stared at me with confusion. She knew that I knew about how I played with her emotions. I just had one thing to tell her. "I won't kill you."
When I said those words, she seemed to relax. We arrive at the vehicle, pile in and then take off. I look behind me and sigh in relief as I see no one. Savanna pushed her hair out of her face before tapping me on the shoulder.
"Are you alright?" she asks. I take a breath and nod.
"Just making sure you're safe." I say honestly. I look at Jungkook who shook his head in disapproval. His dark eyes glared hungrily at Savanna and I knew the results of us trying to leave. Death for Savanna and having our souls pried out for us. We had only one chance to do this. Taking her hand, I give her a reassuring smile.
"What's going on?" she asks looking around. I feel the car jerk to a sudden stop. Catching myself, I look out the window and see black misty fog encircling the car. I
"______ it." I say before looking at Savanna. "Demon, remember?" I lock the door before looking at the group.
"What are you going to do?" Namjoon asks me. I glance around, hoping to find something to protect us. Nothing. I begin to panic. I knew I couldn't kill the Devil, or play at his game. He'd the advantages.
I was about to reply but Savanna's scream startled me. She clutched her head as she tried to keep quiet. I hold her close before having the car door fly open. The group backs up as the fog spreads itself inside, suffocating us. I pry myself away from Savanna long enough to put a barrier around us. Hoseok and Jimin flap their wings, sending the mist outside.

"The devil knows about your escape plan," Jungkook says. "you need to either kill her yourself or admit that you love her!" I look at Savanna as she looks at fog with fear.
"I-I can't!" I say shivering. memories flooded my head. Memories that made me do what I did.
"Forget about Su Ki!" Jimin screams as the petrifying heat hit the car. "She doesn't mean anything to you! She's dead!" I clench my fists as I see the knife on the seat beside us.
It would've taken one cut. One small cut for all this torture to be over...but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Today was Halloween. She had so much to live for; I couldn't end her life. Throwing the knife, I heard an 'ow' before crimson eyes appeared next to the door.
The group intensified as a low chuckle rang through the atmosphere like a virus. It brought shivers down my spine as a dark hand reached in and took Savanna's arm. She yelped and pulled away.
"Make the screaming stop!" she screams. "Please....it hurts." I look to see the mark. I look at the group before nodding.
'Don't do it.' a deep voice said gaining my unwanted attention. 'you know the consequences.'
I did. But I didn't care. I move Savanna's head so she was looking at me.
"I'm going to help you," I say, "I'll make the pain go away." My gaze drifts to the mark on the side of her neck.
Moving her hair, I put my hand on the side of her neck before giving her a reassuring smile. Before I could get a single word out, her hand grabs my wrist, stopping me. She shakes her head.
"Don't." she simply says. "I...I don't want it gone." The group gives her a shocked look, but we get distracted by the car lifting. I clutch to the seats as the ground disappeared beneath us. A sudden tense feeling brought all of us to silence.
"knock, knock...Guess who?"
