I remember it vividly.
Every detail of the day my life turned upside down was engraved painfully in my mind. 
I was only 16, it was December 18th around midnight, the cold made my fingers numb and the streets were empty.
I was exhausted from a tiresome day at the part-time job I recently started. 
I walked hurriedly through the copse to cut short my long walk home but stopped abruptly as I heard whispers.
"Please.." I heard a cry, "no.." a female voice was begging. 
A shiver ran down my spine, I searched where the voice was coming from, panicking. I took some steps back, quietly listening if it wasn't just my imagination. I regret I didn't proceed walking. I loathe myself for thinking I would be alright. That I'm not like those naive girls you see on the morning news, but I'm no different. The moment I got my phone out to call the cops, I felt something hard hit my head, and I lost consciousness as
I felt a horrible pain in my skull.

I hear crying, hushed cries reminding me of the past.
A little girl standing by a door watching a woman cry and scream miserably, "mommy.." she says quietly holding back her tears. The woman turns to look at the child and her sad beautiful features change, to angry ugly lines the girl was getting used to these days.
"I thought I told you to stay in your room didn't I?!" she pushed the girl away from the door and slammed it.

My eyes flew open and I was panting heavily. My vision was blurry, I froze when I saw what was standing in front of me. He was wearing all black, a hat covered half of his face and even though it was dark, I could still see the sick smile coating his lips. He took out a long, big knife, as he got closer I saw the dried blood on it. Fear automatically controlled my system, I shivered, I wanted to throw up, I couldn't breathe, my throat was clothed up, I was shocked by the situation, the world was spinning.
"A young woman in her mid-twenties by the name park jimin was found lifeless by the woods this morning. Police can't find leads to the investigation.It is the fourth body found this month..."
I had a sudden flashback to yesterday when I rode the bus to school and the driver turned the radio on.
Tears clouded my eyes, as I struggled to release my self from the rope he tied tightly around my wrists, and around my legs.
I heard nothing except the crying girl sitting beside me. The room smelled like mold and his footsteps echoed. He crouched in front of us, "Sh.." he whispered disgustingly, "no need to cry honey.." he pressed the knife to the throat of the trembling girl. 
"I will kill only one of you..tonight".
 I fidget away as tears rolled down my cheek.
"The one I'll kill will be decided simply, you'll play a game of rock paper scissors."
His deep voice said calmly.

I felt numb.
I let out a quiet sob, closed my eyes and cried harder. 

"So? Should we start?" he clapped his hands together, sickly excited. 
He took my hands gently and untied the rope that left bloody red marks on my wrists.
I looked at the girl, she looked my age, maybe younger, my heart clenched. 
"Please, don't make us do this.." I trembled uncontrollably and pleaded,
"But what fun will it be?," he chuckeld.
"1.. 2.. 3!" he shouted, but none of us made a move.
He grabbed our wrists brutally and I gasped,"one more chance or I'll kill you both." he said quiatly.
"1.. 2.. 3!!" his voice echoed, and everything happened in slow motion.
I just clenched my hand tightly,I closed my eyes and only opened when I heard a horrible cry. 

I "won" the game.

The girl looked at me with wide eyes that showed ultimate fear and.. resentmet. He stared at me under his hat for a minut and said "good luck lee eun min." 

It all happened too fast. Now when I think back, I ask myself why had I foolishly believed he'll leave me alone? Why would a sick bastard follow his own words?.
He said the "winner" won't die tonight. But he didn't mention anything about later.
