《PSYCHO [COMPLETED]》Behind closed doors
Advertisement
With Yusi's key in his possession, Lay stands before the locked door, the shadow pulling around him and Luhan in the dark hallway.
"I hope you're doing the right thing." Luhan shrugs.
Lay inserts the key in the lock, and it opens with a soft click. The door remains still and silent, with no trace of the sound and fire from previous night.
The door swings open, and they find themselves at the top of a flight of stone steps leading to the cellar.
Across the room, the embers flare in a squat iron surface, filling the cellar with an angry, red light.
"It's just a cellar." Luhan exclaims.
"Yes, then what is grandma so afraid of?" says Lay.
..Just then, the hear a grating screetch as the furnace door swings open on rusted hinges..
Then Lay hears it, the noise from the night before. A muffled, hysterical growl that seems to come from deep within the furnace.
..pin drop silence for a moment.
"Where is my wife?"
Lay and Luhan freezes at their feet, unable to move.
Kris feels a tingling sensation on his neck. He demostrates the signal with full concerntration and yells,
"The door is unlocked. Lay and Luhan is in danger. Life span left is 1 hour."
Wendy's eyes widens.
"Fuck! Can't we just go in and-"
"No. That won't help. The only way to save them.. is your confession, Wendy and Sehun." says Kris.
Both of their faces turn pale. In fear? Fear of what?
Clock is ticking. Hourglass of destruction has been turned. Either they confess, or it's all gone..
Flames all over the cellar as Lay and Luhan stares at the glowing eyes of the phantom advancing on them.
Fear.. extreme fear rushes in their spine. But Lay decides, this time he won't tolerate. Time for revenge. Time to fight back.

" Lay roars breaking the innocence of his voice.
"NO! LEAVE HIM!" Luhan screams with the top of his lungs.
The specter's eye falls on Luhan and he starts moving impossibly fast towards him, his skeletal hands locking Luhan's head in a vise-like grip.
Luhan's vision starts to blur.. as he almost faints.
Now the phantom moves towards Lay and does the same thing, Lay's blood pounding in his head, passing out as the pressure increases. His jaw clenches against the pain.
Luhan tries to put himself back, but the terrible pain making him fall to the floor, againvand again.
Lay feels himself fading as the phantom squeezes harder, his hands groping uselessly.
Summoning his last ounce of strength, Lay manages to eke out a final word.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
