DARKNESS - ENHYPEN
9. Craniums

Elena was angry that again Sunghoon did his best, the girl's hand was injured for the second time, she had slapped Sunghoon earlier.

"Let me see." He said but Elena quickly dodged. His eyes let out tears, Sunghoon who saw that was shocked did not understand.

"Did the wound hurt so much that you cried?" Sunghoon asked in panic.

"Is it like in your eyes that I am an ******? can't you be more polite to me?" Asked raucously, Elena's tears fell down her cheeks. This time he felt abused.

Sunghoon was even more shocked when he heard Elena's words. He began to be confused because the article did not intend to harass. "Elena.I..I do not consider you an ******. Not really, I don't know why I can't control myself not to kiss you. You're too seductive for me." Sunghoon's explanation didn't make Elena feel better. He was even more angry.

"It looks like your brain is hurting!." Elena stopped the washing machine forcibly. The girl collected all her laundry and left the laundry. Sunghoon who saw Elena's departure felt frustrated.

"Wolf women love to be kissed." He rubbed his hair backwards. "Is there any way I could talk to upset Elena?" Imperfect confusion.

Five Days Before.

He parked his yellow car in front of the gate and then walked into the elite house area where the vampires gathered.

He does not need to touch the doorknob to open the way, just by instinct it will open wide and show the servants who are on the move. They all lowered their heads when they saw Sunghoon on the doorstep. He is a king in the kingdom of Rodus whose existence has not been completely recognized, currently Sunghoon is still the lowest king and he is walking towards a better peak.

Although Sunghoon's position as a king, Jake and Sunoo's nobility remained higher than his. Sunghoon's title of king is nothing. Even the previous king and queen were timid leaders and easily oppressed by other kingdoms so the presence of Sunghoon as the new leader was enough to make the elite vampire nobles a little shake. He managed to join the Cranium thanks to his ingenious nature and his abundant strength and that kind of vampire was all that was needed in the Cranium.

His marble-tipped shoes made a loud noise, he walked with his right hand stuffed into his pants pocket. The black tuxedo was perfectly attached to his body, a black bow tie coiled around his neck. Her hair was neatly arranged with a gel mixture that made the strands shiny. Sunghoon's signature parfume bushes pierced Jay's nose. The teenager smiled when he saw his brother was so handsome.

"Nothing's changed, you're still as handsome as the last time we hunted." Praise Jay shaking hands with Sunghoon.

The six friends had gathered on the table with abundant dishes. "I'm sorry I'm late." Sesal Sunghoon grabbed a cup of glass and inhaled the scent of the thick liquid.

"It looks like you're very busy with humans." Sindir Sunoo raised his glass.

"Yes.I'm just trying to have fun with Elena, she's a funny, shitty girl." Sunghoon gave a small smile as he told the girl.

He put his glass back on the table and met the eye of an old friend. They don't greet each other just throw smiles at each other. Before long a servant approached him while giving a medium-sized box to Sunghoon. The man opened it and the smile of his mouth widened when he saw that his mask had now been refurbished.

After everything gathered, the vampire herd went to the basement with their faces covered in masks. A cold and sinister aura emanated, anyone who was seen by the Cranium vampire tonight then they will enter into a game.

A game created by Heeseung and Sunghoon.

Jake opened the old door filled with dust, in the dark room there was a man whose body was bound by chains and his mouth was gagged with cloth. The blue-eyed girl had been held captive for a week. There were no blisters on his body, no wounds. He's still in good shape, because the cranium won't hurt his victims before the game starts.

The girl's heart skipped a beat to the point that Sunoo laughed as her heart rhythm was very comforting. His round eyes were watching a group of men unknown to him. He breaks up when Jake strokes his hair. "Sstt. You could hurt your hand." Jake's whispers smile hideously behind the mask.

"You want to be free of us, right?" Jake's question makes Lucy more rebellious, the girl shakes the chains that tie her legs and hands.

"You can be free if you win a game." Jake stands up and joins his friends.

"We're gonna let you out into the woods and you're gonna have to run for a way out. If you win, you're free. If not, that means you're dead." Clearly Jake made Lucy's body twitch and shake violently. Ni-Ki, who is very interested in human fear, crouches down right in front of Lucy who is sweating cold sweat. "Just not getting caught by us, you can get away with it." He said while breathing deeply. Ni-Ki can't wait to taste Lucy's blood.

One second later his room turned into a vast wilderness. Lucy could not believe what she saw, but she realized that the chains that bound her and her mouth were gone. Lucy immediately turned to the group of men who were watching her. "Come~." Jake's orders, without a second thought Lucy immediately ran in any direction while the vampires, they were still in place to give Lucy time to circle the forest.

"Other times we should try the game of hide and seek." Jay's advice, he's tired of this game.

After saying that, Jay ran and started chasing after Lucy. Followed by Sunoo and Heeseung who climbed into the tree and Jake who walked casually and Ni-Ki who disappeared like a ghost.

As the game begins, the members of Cranium begin to target and outwit Lucy but are different from Sunghoon and his old friends. Julius is a nickname of Red Eyes.

"How's your kingdom?." Julius moved his hand and at that very moment Lucy fell, wounding her leg, bleeding. Ni-Ki who was still unable to control herself was immediately tempted while smelling the scent of blood.

"I'm glad you're back with us." Sunghoon's urge loosened his tie a little.

"Sunoo always told me to hang out just that I didn't feel good with Jake, he didn't like me when I started joining the eye warriors." It obviously made Sunghoon speechless.

Julius just smiled. "So~ let's make this game even more exciting." Julius sprinted away from Sunghoon.

Sunghoon gave a small chuckle and then floated his body up and began to tease Lucy by making creepy noises.

The girl ran with all her might in any direction to find a way out. One in his mind at the moment, he had to win in order to be free from the pursuit of those crazy men.

His bare feet make him often injured and easily tired. His body was filled with sweat and soil and mud attached, not forgetting the blood coming out of every wound on his body made Lucy look chaotic tonight. It was as if the moonlight was laughing at him and not siding with him. She screamed for help to the point that her vocal cords hurt, who would hear Lucy scream?.

This forest is not an ordinary forest, this forest has been changed by magic by Sunghoon so that Lucy will not win. They lie to Lucy to make the game more exciting and gripping.

Sometimes Lucy can see the shadow of the black mask behind every big hole. He looked up and was surprised when he saw a man wearing a bird mask, Lucy screamed making all the members of the Cranium laugh. Even Sunghoon was comforted when he heard Lucy's cry.

The girl ran and fell back, for some time. What is certain is that now he has been crying while raving for mercy.

"PLEASE! PLEASE LET ME GO!." The screams that actually make the vampires more excited.

Suddenly the situation became silent, the sound of laughter was no longer heard. Lucy rubbed her tears and looked around in alarm, dark and only darkness could be seen by her.

One second later Lucy screamed pain in her hand as if someone was clawing at her arm but who knows. He grimaced in pain trying to move his leg again but someone pulled his leg so he fell down and dragged a few meters. His face was occasionally slashed by twigs and thorny trees. The pain was overcome by her fear, Lucy kept screaming for help and pain. But unfortunately he's not the lucky guy tonight.

After it stopped being dragged, its body immediately floated up and its back hit a large tree resulting in cracking sounds being heard then the girl's body fell to the bottom of the ground.

She no longer moved at all, being looked at by Jay closely.

"Not cool! you're so weak." His eyes removed the hair covering Lucy's face.

The members of the Cranium were surprised to learn that the game did not match expectations.

"Hey~ what the fuck. Why did you kill him so quickly?" Ni-Ki asked annoyedly.

"I didn't plan to kill him." Jay stood up again.

"ah! you ruined the game tonight!." Ni-Ki blames Jay.

Likewise with other members, they are also upset but hold back their emotions.

Jake takes off his mask and checks on Lucy's dying state. The girl had a very bad fracture.

"You lost, miss." Jake's murmured stroked Lucy's cheek very carefully.

The girl was still conscious, she could see Jake's face clearly but unfortunately Lucy was dying so she could not report the incident to the police.

Lucy's weakened breathing makes Jake smile, she is happy to finally make a party out of the victim's blood.

The game this time is not quite exciting but Cranium enjoy it...
