epilogue

To the Dawn

People don’t want the truth when something supernatural happens. Seungkwan and Vernon both tried to tell the truth of the matter, but when it was clear that they were just seen as suffering from some sort of shock, they stopped trying. They spent nearly a week in the neighboring hospital town, Vernon in the hospital and Seungkwan in a hotel, meeting with police and talking to the media as much as he could stomach. 

The man and his daughter had met up with an ambulance on the way to the hospital, and because of that they were able to save her life. The man came to visit Vernon at the hospital, and he finally admitted that he too hadn’t been believed about the supernatural possession. He hadn’t been too comfortable with the two of them, though Seungkwan could understand that - it as their friend who had caused the carnage, after all. But he thanked them several times for all they had done and when leaving, he had paused in the doorway before apologizing for their own loss. That had hurt.

After four days Seungkwan had gotten up the courage to return to the cave, hiking down to the lake on his own. He knew that he shouldn’t ever go hiking alone, especially as a novice, but he couldn’t chance someone else finding that cursed object. And his hunch was right - the knife was back on the pedestal, glowing green and sending out whispers of glory and riches and strength to help others. That made him angry, though, and he hefted the object

Chapter 4: Oh, damn. You would've totally won the Head to Head contest! I feel so bad for Mingyu, but I'm also strangely curious as to the demon and what is /was/. What a bastard creature, though. The green glow was scary, there's a reason I'm not into caves, haha. And while I'm glad Seungkwan and Vernon survived, the toll it must have taken on them, to hear their friend be accused of "going crazy" and "being a murderer" when they both knew there was something else there, something they couldn't explain and something nobody would ever believe - that's so taxing mentally. No wonder they just left in the end. Started anew. I hope they get some time off and while the trauma still stays with them, it just -- ugh, I want to hug them and say sorry. </3

Chapter 4: This had a bittersweet ending, and I'm glad Seungkwan was able to dispose of the knife. It's sad that the thing took so many lives, including Mingu's. I'm glad that Seungkwan and Vernon will be able to continue their lives and hopefully not continue to carry too much guilt over it all.
This was a nice story and I love the friendship in it. Thank you♡.

Chapter 3: I felt so bad for them, and for the other people caught up in this terror. I hope Seungkwan can someday believe that this wasn't his fault, and also come to terms with what happened to Mingyu, as well. I hope Vernon will be okay, too.
This is a very interesting story, and I like how you've put it together. The only thing I can say is to watch typos, but I like it overall.

Chapter 1: Oh goodness. This first chapter was creepy, and I look forward to reading the rest of it. I'm really curious about the scratches and also Mingyu's strange behavior.

Chapter 4: Well that was scary *shivers* I mean, caves in of themselves are already scary enough for me hahaha, and then you go put some evil freaky glowing monster-artifacts in there? I love the way you described everything, especially the green pulsing heartbeat that disappeared inside Mingyu. The horror when they got out and found the dead bodies was pretty realistic. It would be so impossible to believe and yet there it is in front of your eyes. I feel the most sorry for Mingyu in this. Killed and taken over by an evil creature, everyone thinks he's a mass murderer, how sad :( I'm glad that Vernon and Seungkwan didn't die though!!! I was worried because it's horror genre, but that was a big relief ^^''
I spotted a couple of typos throughout but all easily fixed! Good luck with the contests!!
