All The Pretty Little Horses

Fallen Trilogy Part 2: The Secret Child of the Devil

“We’re done!”

Taehyun and Myungsoo were not as happy as she was.

“Why are you sulking?” She asked the boys.

“You might have had fun but we just messed around with women. It wasn’t fun. I didn’t feel any thrill.” Taehyun was the first to respond.She blinked.

“That’s because they were too old and ugly.” Myungsoo’s statement was rude.

“I’m curious what do you think is pretty?” The demons smirked and walked closer to her.

“Can you get it for us?” She chuckled.

“Depends what that is.” The demons became instantly excited. She was very curious. That was something not many knew about evil entities.

 

“Chocolate bubble tea and strawberry ice cream are not evil.”

They were walking aimlessly in the park. Myungsoo was happily sipping from his bubble tea while Taehyun was his ice cream away. Ra Hee’s expectations lowered that day.

“When you’re living as we do, these are very rare.” Taehyun started.

“Besides, how can you not find it pretty? It makes you feel all bubbly inside.” Myungsoo continued.

Ra Hee was very disappointed. The demons whom have stalked her for more than a year were so…

“Girly. You two are so unexpectedly girly.” They scoffed and walked faster. “And so sassy. Are you even evil?”

“We make the best of our existence, unlike some other people.” Myungsoo took care to emphasize the message. She got it alright. “Just because we are supposed to be evil doesn’t mean we can’t like what we find here.” Taehyun nodded in support of his friend.

She scoffed and through the gap between them. It was annoying when Myungsoo was getting all wise on her.

 

"I want to go back." Myungsoo and Taehyun turned to her. That came out of nowhere, a few hours after they just shared words of wisdom.

"And what do you want us to do?" Taehyun tilted his head to the side and watched Ra Hee think. She was having a debate in her mind, from what he could see on her face.

"I only had to get that demon for Beelzebub. Now I'm free to go back, correct?" Myungsoo and Taehyun glanced at each other.

"Correct. You are free to do anything you want, Ra Hee. You don't have to ask us before you do something."

"Oh." She turned around and took a few steps before she remembered something. “How do I go back?” The demons chuckled.

"Just close your eyes and imagine the place you want to appear into." She nodded and did that.

When she opened her eyes, she was in front of her apartment door. She caressed it with a smile on her face and walked forward. She hit her forehead against the metal.

"We're not ghosts. We can't go through walls and doors, idiot. You have to appear inside." Myungsoo and Taehyun appeared behind her just in time to get entertainment. What she did looked really dumb.

Taehyun grabbed her hand which made her turn to look at him. In one fast movement, they were inside her apartment.

"Don't go." Myungsoo raised an eyebrow.

"Don't act so innocent when you know exactly what you have become. Don't try to be a stupid human. You are already dead, even if it's not practical yet. You've always been dead but you never accepted it until now." Myungsoo's wisdom didn't touch Ra Hee. He left with Taehyun and let her all alone.

 

It was still dark outside. She turned in circles and looked at her apartment.

"It feels like everything happened just yesterday."

She closed her eyes and imagined a normal day in her home. It used to be loud but she was happy. She could already see Baekhyun walking out of her room looking for something he lost; Mino bickering with Taehyun and Chen on the couch; Myungsoo shaking his head yet watching with amusement everything while Sunggyu would stay near the window, waiting or watching something. And then her ghost friend whom she saved yet hadn't seen in a long time. He would always nag her about the smallest things.

She opened her eyes and felt something drip down her cheeks. She was crying. She bit her lip and tried to stop it trembling. Instead, her whole body started to shake. She closed her eyes tightly and cried. She needed it. She was feeling so lonely.

 

After she calmed down, she went to the hospital. She was still not good at appearing but she managed to get in front of the hospital. She didn't have to search for long. Granted to the pact he signed, it was easy to feel his energy.

She opened the door slowly and frowned when she saw her best friend connected to machines. Well, he only had an IV and was sleeping peacefully. She walked inside and sat on the side of the bed.

"I'm sorry, Baekhyun. It's my fault. Everything is just my fault."

She cried so much at home that she didn't have any tears left. She smiled softly when she heard him breathe.

That was a sound she never thought would mean so much. Being alive was the most precious thing a human had. Life, be it rich and healthy or poor and sad, was better than death. It was better than anything; the treasure of humanity.

She caressed his cheek lightly and realized just how much he meant to her. She started to sing a lullaby for him. Baekhyun couldn't see or feel her but at least, she could induce a few dreams and emotions.

Her eyes traveled to his hand and she stopped singing. He cut his right wrist in order to get enough blood for the pact. She sighed and grabbed it. She turned it around and saw the signature. He had it on his forearm. He was going to such lengths for her. He wanted to see the dark world so much and now she was part of it. Well, sometimes wishes do come true.

Ra Hee's hand shined a bright fiery color and touched his signature. Baekhyun frowned but didn't wake up. She closed the contract and got in charge of him. Even if she was going back to her body, he was still under her wing.

 

The next morning, Baekhyun woke up in a very good mood. He moved around and realized something was on the bed. He opened his eyes and got a surprise. He frowned and looked at the head sleeping next to his hand. She had a firm grip on his hand and she was looking at the wall blankly.

Once he got up, she disappeared. He rubbed his eyes and realized he only saw what he wanted to see. It was probably from the pills.

However, while rubbing his face he noticed something on his forearm. His eyes widened and he jumped off the bed. Right then, Chen entered his room with a bright smile.

"I got the deal!" / "She woke up!" They exclaied at the same time.

Baekhyun frowned.

"What?"

Chen nodded excitedly. Baekhyun pushed him aside and ran to her room. When he opened the door, he saw a Ra Hee that had color in her cheeks and her eyes were wide open.

"Ra Hee?" She noticed him and chuckled. Her mother was inside already and was crying. He could see it on Ra Hee’s face. She wanted her mom to leave. "Uh- Mrs Ahn, can I talk to her for a moment?" Her mother nodded and patted his shoulder on her way out.

"My daughter is so lucky to have found you." She said before she closed the door behind her. Baekhyun chuckled.

"You have no idea." He mumbled.

Once he got next to her, he felt his arm stung. He looked at it and saw the same yellow color as her sign. She got the oxygen tub off her face and coughed.

"The miracle happened. I'm alive." She rolled her eyes. She was perfectly fine; like nothing ever happened on the first place. She raised a little and leaned against the pillow. She didn't expect Baekhyun to jump and hug her. "Um-" She didn't know what to say. "You made a pact." He froze.

"About that," He let go of her and chuckled nervously. "I thought that even if you died, that was the only way to still see you." She sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Baek, I was going to come back anyway. The inheritor has to die first." He was still very happy that she came back. Chen entered a few minutes later and did the exact same thing as Baekhyun.

 

"So, how was it?" She raised an eyebrow. She didn't understand what that meant. "You know, the world down there. How was it?" She rubbed her chin and tried to remember. Most of her memories became distorted after she got back in her body.

"Quite dark and blurry." Chen blinked. That didn't explain much. "I don't remember it clearly. It's like this weird part in my mind that my brain can't comprehend. But I know for sure that I felt scared." Baekhyun and Chen glanced worriedly at her.

"Why did it take you so long to sign the contract?" She clicked her tongue and tried to remember. She got a monstrous headache and stopped.

"I don't really remember. We should ask Taehyun and Myungsoo."

"What about Sunggyu? Did you see him?" She frowned. That didn't happen. She didn't see him anywhere and Taehyun only led her to get Myungsoo. That was suspicious. She could remember that much.

"Well, he is not important right now. You are." She smiled widely but something was bothering her. That much was obvious.

 

“Ra Hee, are you alright?” She shook her head. It was the second day of her hospitalization as a living patient and she was overwhelmed. Except her mother, who was 12 out of 24 hours around her; suffocating her and her friends who were coming when her mother wasn’t there, she had ghosts.

“My title doesn’t seem to help me at all.” Baekhyun raised an eyebrow and leaned back. They still didn’t get rid of what they brought in her room.

“Why?” She looked to the side. There was a kid playing on Chen’s phone. That was the main reason why he couldn’t finish the level. On the other side, there was this cute guy who was waiting patiently for her to get him to Hell because he sinned. If being handsome was a sin, then-

“Dammit! Why can’t I finish this level! This game is stupid! I swear it’s broken!” Her eyes moved on the kid. He didn’t seem to have any problem with explaining Chen what he was doing wrong.

“You have a kid nagging you. It seems you have to push the buttons faster and incline the phone to the side to get to the higher diamonds.” She stopped and blinked. “You’re playing Cookie Monster.” Chen narrowed his eyes at her and brought the phone close to his chest.

“Don’t judge what you can’t understand.” He said warily. She sighed and turned to the handsome guy.

“I’m not an angel and your sin is not too important. Go look for an angel somewhere.” The handsome ghost disappeared, thankfully. She sighed heavily and laid her head back. “This is even worse than before.” She groaned.

“Oh, by the way. Isn’t it very silent?” Baekhyun and Ra Hee looked curiously at Chen.

“In what way silent? There are hundreds of ghosts in this hospital” Chen nodded. Ra Hee was right.

“But where is Kyungsoo? You had him around right?” She nodded. “And where are the demons? They haven’t appeared in six months.” That was a good question. Baekhyun was wondering the same thing.

“Myungsoo’s deal ended. He can come and go as he wants. Taehyun doesn’t seem to have a reason to come by anymore since he doesn’t have a contractor anymore. Sunggyu’s been missed in action and I don’t know anything about Kyungsoo.”

She just finished her explanation when the door to her room opened.

“Excuse me but who are you?” Baekhyun’s question was like an echo. 

Everyone became silent. The man smirked evily and looked at Ra Hee. His eyes were familiar. That annoying and proud smirk was familiar, as well.

“No way.” The man raised an eyebrow and entered the room majestically.
