Saturday 8:45 AM

"Good morning Miss." A petite nurse said as she checked Namjoon's vitals. Amber looked over at her not really in the mood to conversate even though she seemed like a nice girl.

"The doctor will be in shortly to take him for the Psych eval... We just need you to sign a few forms."

Amber knitted her eyebrows together in confusion.

"Forms?"

"Yes... The testing is extensive, and we need permission from a family member."

Again, she was confused. We were together yes, but we weren't married so she legally couldn't do that.

"Oh... I will call his mother."

Leaving the room, she took a deep breath everyday was harder to sit and wait for him to get better. If he was going to get better. Walking up to the nurses station an older woman looked up over her wire-rimmed glasses.

"Can I help you dear?"

"Yes, Ma'am can I use your phone?"

She gestured to the landline on the counter then went back to filing folders in the cabinet. Amber dialed the number in Namjoon's phone and waited.

"Hello?" a sweet voice answered. She froze, no one told his mother what was going on with him. She always thought he was working overtime. Why did it have to be Amber to break the bad news after all these years.

"Hello?" she sounded more impatient this time, Amber cleared her throat preparing for the worst.

"Hi Mrs. Kim... My name is Amber."

"Oh, Joonie's friend. How are you dear?"

"I'm fine... I have bad news though."

The line went silent for a moment and quiet rapid breathing could be heard.

"Is it about Namjoon the accident?"

Wait...How did she find out. Namjoon didn't want her to know.

"Yoongi told me everything dear. I faxed over the forms they requested this morning. I will be flying in tomorrow to see him. Thank you for calling. I wish you would have called sooner. Maybe we can do lunch when I get there." Click

She didn't even give Amber time to respond. Standing there staring at the receiver dumbfounded she hung it up turning right into a firm chest.

"oof..." Hands grabbed her elbows to steady her as she looked up to see who she ran into. It was OFC Jeon he looked a bit disheveled, dark circles were forming under his eyes, and his skin seemed paler. His look matched hers... Although she wasn't sure why. She stood there staring up at him until he cleared his throat.

"You alright there Amber?" She stood up straight blushing from embarrassment.

"yes... I'm fine. Why are you here?"

He frowned, "Tae... He's been here as long as Namjoon..."

"Wait... What?"

He nodded solemnly looking down the hallway.

"Yea, it took them a while to find him. When we did, he was far worse than Namjoon. It was like she had a personal vendetta against him."

"She?" Amber was confused. Wasn't it Hin who was attacking and killing all those innocent people.

"His mother... he left a list when he was put in prison. That's why we were unable to pin him for the other murders until now. The only reason why we caught her was the dolls."

"Dolls?"

"Yea, the dolls in her shop used hair from the victims, she even went as far as storing one of them in the utility closet. The poor girls screams gave saved her."

Amber felt like she was going to be sick. Who could do something like that?

"Oh my God..."

"Yea... Tae was the first one she got ahold of. Then four others before we figure it out. Out of the four the girl and Tae were the only ones to survive." Amber had no words she stared up at him wondering what would have happened had they not gotten to Namjoon that day. Would they have never figured things out? She couldn't think like that.

"How is Taehyung doing?"

"He has been in a coma. Doctor's refuse to wake him up until he is able to breath on his own again." Tears formed in his eyes. He was clearly broken up over the boy with the boxy smile that no one had seen for so long. Yoongi had tried to get ahold of him but wasn't able to reach him. Now Amber knew why she should probably tell him. But first she pulled Jungkook into a hug when she did, he broke down crying hard.

"I don't know what to do without him..." He sobbed soaking her t-shirt hugging her tighter as if his life depended on it. Her heart broke for him because she understood. Even with the doubt that crept into her mind about being able to stay. She could never leave Namjoon, She loved him too damn much.

"He's going to be okay... Just stay strong. You can always talk to me if you need." Amber assured him.

A nurse walked up to them with tissues and papers.

"Miss, we have the consent forms we are taking him back for the evaluation now."

"Thank you." Taking the tissues from her, Amber handed them to Jungkook who wiped at his eyes blowing his nose.

"How bout we go get a coffee." She gave him a kind smile, he shrugged walking beside her towards the cafeteria.

Saturday 10:10 AM

Namjoon

I lay on the cold ground surrounded by wet rotting leaves. I guess after the last attack I was left here instead of another room. What does that mean? Flashes of light started rapidly moving through the trees above, they were moving so fast it was hard to focus. What's going on?

The creature stirred nearby. He too seemed to be bothered by the lights. I climbed up the nearest tree to get closer. Anywhere there had been light he was able to find Amber.

"Namjoon can you hear me?" a strange voice called. The light became brighter with several faces around it. I was in a hospital room again; the smell of alcohol burned my nose when I inhaled.

"Yessss..." my throat was dry when I spoke.

"Do you know where you are?"

"Yesss..."

Three of the faces disappeared leaving the one that was asking questions. His gray mustache twitching as he talked to me.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sore, tired, and slightly crazy." I replied honestly... Probably should have left that last part out. The doctor chuckled.

"You've been stuck here a while. I can understand."

Oh, good he didn't think I meant 'crazy' crazy.

"We are going to run a few tests now. Let me know if you need to stop."

"No." hissed the creature.

"What?"

"What?" Asked the doctor eyeing me concerned.

"No tests." Hissed the creature I could feel pressure building on my spine. It felt like it might snap.

"Uh... Nothing..." I tried to adjust only to have the pressure pop and a warm feeling go throughout my entire body. Everything went dark sending me spiraling back onto the cold wet ground. He stood nearby yellow eyes blazing I could feel his rage boiling to the surface.

"You need to give up Namjoon..." He hissed at me slithering closer.

"never..." I choked on the sulfuric air around me.

"It'll be so much easier on them if you do..."

"Liar."

The creature vanished into the darkness instead of coming closer. I can't give up. I just can't.

Saturday 11:25 AM

"He's not responding to any of the tests." The doctor sounded disappointed.

"What does that mean?"

"It means... He's mentally sound. Just has something else causing the episodes. I recommend some time at home. Maybe that will help his state of mind. "

Amber scoffed he wasn't sound of mind he was barely lucid 95% of the time. Whatever I'll bring him home. But it's not going to be easy.

"You guys really have no clue."

The doctor gave her a look of pity shaking his head.

"What do I do?"

"make him comfortable at home. Maybe it's the TBI or something else. He doesn't appear to be crazy though."

Amber just shook her head sitting down in the chair by Namjoon's bed looking at his calm face. He didn't appear to be dreaming or having nightmares like he had been any other night.

Perhaps the worst was over; or maybe it had just begun.
