The night that smelled like rain, even though the sky was clear
Raelynn Smirnov
*woke with a gasp, the kind that pulls the rib cage apart.*
Heat pooled behind my sternum and a weight settled in my heart, as if something invisible was pressing against it.
Raelynn Smirnov
*breath was shallow, each inhale a thin strand of air that threatened to snap*
Raelynn Smirnov
*lay there for a heartbeat—no, a full minute—until the weight forced to sit up*
The room I opened my eyes to was not my bedroom.
The familiar posters, the battered nightstand, the soft glow of my lamp were gone.
In their place stood a single, unmade bed in the middle of a floor that had lost its paint to dust and cracked tiles.
Moonlight filtered through a broken doorway, spilling across a torn curtain that fluttered in a wind I could not feel. A cracked window stared out at nothing, its pane shattered into jagged teeth. Spiderwebs clung to the far corner, their silken threads trembling like the breath of a sleeping beast.
Raelynn Smirnov
*bare feet sank into the cold dust as rose*
Raelynn Smirnov
Tried to call out—“Mom? Dad? What’s happening?”
But the words were swallowed by the darkness
Raelynn Smirnov
*stepped toward the door, hands trembling, and pushed it open*
The hallway beyond was a mirror of the room: empty, bleak, the same broken light spilling from the cracked doorway above. The kitchen, my parents’ bedroom, the stairs—every familiar space had been stripped down to skeletons of plaster and broken timber
A cold, unsteady silence pressed against me, and the air seemed to thicken with each second, as if some unseen hand were squeezing my lungs
Raelynn Smirnov
* walk on stairs*
Raelynn Smirnov
*felt the heart pound louder, a frantic drumbeat in the ears*
That was when I heard it—a low, guttural howl that reverberated through the stairwell, followed by the sharp crack of a gun.
Raelynn Smirnov
*froze on the halfway landing, the broken steps slick with dust*
Raelynn Smirnov
*A shiver raced down the spine*
The howl turned into a snarl
Raelynn Smirnov
*leaned over the railing, eyes straining to make out the darkness below*
On the ground floor, two men knelt, heads down, their wrists bound with frayed rope
One lay sprawled on the floor, a pool of dark crimson spreading around him, his hands also bound
Moonlight filtered through the broken ceiling, painting the scene in an eerie, silver wash.
In the opposite corner of the room sat a figure on a chair that seemed to have been carved from the shadows themselves
He was tall, his legs crossed like a king on a throne, a revolver cradled in his hand. He twirled the gun with a lazy, almost playful flick of his wrist while a low whistle escaped his lips—a sound that cut through the night like ice.
??????
*face was human enough, but his eyes were pits of darkness*
??????
*smile a jagged line that could have been a grin or a snarl*
??????
*raised the gun, aimed, and with a cold, clinical motion pulled the trigger*
The first man’s body jerked, a spray of blood arcing like a macabre fountain
The second man’s eyes widened in terror as a second shot ripped through him.
The devil‑like figure chuckled, a sound that seemed to echo from the walls themselves, and leaned forward, the moonlight catching the cruel curve of his cheek.
Raelynn Smirnov
*breath hitched, throat went dry*
Raelynn Smirnov
*legs felt like jelly, mind a frantic storm of fear*
Raelynn Smirnov
*turned to run*
But the staircase groaned under my weight; a cracked step gave way, sending a thin, metallic screech through the air.
??????
*turned his head, his eyes locking onto me, a smirk forming on his lips*
??????
* lean forward, a moon light falls on his face *
Kieran Warner(ML)
" Who's that?"
Kieran Warner(ML)
“Come, let's play a game,” whispered, voice a rasp that seemed to crawl into the bones.
Raelynn Smirnov
*Adrenaline surged*
Raelynn Smirnov
*bolted, clutching the thin gown I wore, stumbling back*
The hallway was a blur of broken plaster and flickering bulbs as I slammed the apartment door behind me, slamming it shut with a force that made the wood shudder
Raelynn Smirnov
*fumbled for the lock, fingers slipped on the rusted latch, and finally managed to bolt it*
Inside, the bedroom was a ruin. The door hung from its hinges, a jagged scar across the frame. I pressed my back against the cracked wall, heart hammering against my ribs as though trying to break free.
Heavy footsteps thumped down the hallway , each one a thunderclap of impending doom.
Raelynn Smirnov
*held the breath, mouth sealed shut*
The silence stretched, taut as a wire. Then, a terrible sound—a roar of metal on wood—as an axe bit into the bedroom door
Splinters exploded outward, dust and ash swirling in the moonlit beam that slipped through the broken window.
Raelynn Smirnov
*eyes filled with tears, body shaking as the axe bit deeper*
A single, massive booted foot stepped into the doorway
The man from the ground floor looming larger than life, his silhouette swallowing the little light left in the room.
Kieran Warner(ML)
*smiled, that same cruel smile, and lifted his axe, the blade catching the moonlight in a flash*
Raelynn Smirnov
*backed against the wall*
Kieran Warner(ML)
*moved forward, the whistling of his breath mixing with the hiss of his axe*
Kieran Warner(ML)
* throw the axe on wall near her face *
Raelynn Smirnov
* flinched *
Kieran Warner(ML)
*reached out, fingers like claws, and clamped his hand around her throat*
The pressure was absolute; my windpipe bruised, my vertebrae sang with a high‑pitched crack.
Kieran Warner(ML)
*lifted her in the air *
Raelynn Smirnov
* legs kicking in the air*
Raelynn Smirnov
*vision filling with a swirl of blood and dust*
In that suspended moment, something in the air shifted. The shadows seemed to dissolve, the darkness peeling away like old wallpaper
The sound of my own startled cry echoed through a place I could not name. The world lurched, and then—thud
Raelynn Smirnov
*slammed onto a hard surface of the floor*
Raelynn Smirnov
*opened the eyes*
The apartment was the apartment I knew. The walls were painted the same faded blue, the lamp on the nightstand still flickered in its usual, lazy rhythm. No broken doors. No devil‑like figure. Only my parents, their faces a mixture of panic and relief, hovering over me.
Raelynn mom
“Are you okay?” shouted, voice trembling. lifted her chin with shaking hands.
Raelynn dad
Knelt beside the floor, his eyes wide. “What the hell happened? Why is your neck—”
Raelynn mom
" we rush here when we hear shouting. But when we entered I saw you on the floor. What is happening?"
He stopped, staring at the deep, angry bruise that marred my throat, a dark handprint smeared across my skin. My mother pressed a hand to my cheek, tears falling onto the carpet.
They carried me to the car, the night air chilling as we drove to the nearest hospital. In the emergency room, nurses wrapped my neck in gauze, the doctor’s voice low and professional as he instructed me not to speak, to keep my throat still, to sip water instead of trying to swallow food.
My mind replayed the night over and over: the cracked rooms, the moonlit horror, the man's smile, the sudden shift back to reality. I tried to make sense of it. Was it a nightmare? A hallucination brought on by a heart attack? Some twisted portal that opened just for a heartbeat?

Doctor
Came in later, his eyes kind but weary. “Your chest pain was a serious arrhythmia, likely induced by stress. You were lucky you didn’t suffer more. We’ll keep you for observation.”
Doctor
" Due to stress you may get hallucinations and that lead you to harm yourself"
Doctor
“Avoid strenuous activity, and try to get plenty of rest.”
That night, after the IV lines were removed and the monitors quieted, I lay awake, the bandage on my neck a cold reminder of the night’s events
The hospital corridors were empty, the lights dim and flickering in a rhythm that reminded me of the broken stairs. Somewhere in the distance, a faint whistle floated through the hallway—just a draft, I told myself. Yet the sound lingered, a thin thread that pulled at the edge of my consciousness.
In the weeks that followed, I kept the windows shut, the curtains drawn, and the lights on. My heart, now steadier with medication, still thudded a little too hard when I lay in the dark.
I realized that whatever had taken me that night was not a single entity but something that lived in the cracks of our world—between the walls, in the broken light, in the heartbeat that falters when fear spikes. It fed on the edge of perception, on the moment when pain and panic blur the line between reality and nightmare.
The corridors of St. Jude’s Medical College were built to intimidate. With vaulted ceilings, marble floors that echoed every footstep, and walls adorned with historical portraits of prestigious alumni, it was a place where wealth and brilliance converged.
I was here on a full scholarship, a fact that made me feel like an imposter in a sea of designer coats and luxury perfumes.
Raelynn Smirnov
*clutched the heavy anatomy textbook to the chest, head down, trying to navigate the hallway unnoticed.*
Suddenly, the air in the corridor shifted. A roar of cheers erupted from the entrance, vibrating through the floorboards
Raelynn Smirnov
*looked up, and breath hitched*
He was carving through the crowd on a skateboard, moving with a fluid, reckless grace that seemed entirely out of place in such a sterile environment.
The hallway had become his stage. As he drifted past, girls leaned against the lockers, faces flushed, chanting his name like a mantra
He was a vision of effortless magnetism—muscular, sharp-jawed, his hair falling in loose waves over his forehead. He didn't just walk through the room; he commanded it.
A bitter ache bloomed in my chest. I had spent years of sleepless nights, drinking black coffee and memorizing textbooks until my eyes blurred, all to land a scholarship to this school.
The truth, however, was far less romantic: I had followed him here. I had carried a secret, silent crush on Kyros since our high school days, watching him from the back of the classroom, always invisible, always the girl in the oversized sweater sitting in the shadows.
Lost in the familiar sting of my own insignificance, I didn't realize I had stepped into the middle of the tiled path
Raelynn Smirnov
*could even register the sound of the wheels, a blur of motion surged toward *
Raelynn Smirnov
*heart hammered against the ribs*
Raelynn Smirnov
*stood paralyzed, clutching the books so tightly, knuckles turned white*
He didn't swerve. He stopped.
The skateboard came to a halt with a sharp, echoing clack against the marble
He was inches away—so close I could smell the faint scent of rain and cedarwood on his skin
Kyros
*dark, piercing eyes locked onto her*
Stripping away my defenses. He looked like a fallen god, his gaze intense enough to make my knees tremble.
Kyros
"Did you get hurt, lady?"
His voice was a deep, resonant rasp that sent a jolt of electricity down my spine. The world around us seemed to mute. I could feel the butterflies erupting in my stomach, a frantic, dizzying sensation.
Raelynn Smirnov
*couldn't find the voice*
Raelynn Smirnov
*manage a slow, shaky tremor of the head to tell him I was fine*
Kian
"Everything alright, Kyros?"
Kian
*cruised up beside him, flanked by Camellia and Aaron*
My heart sank further. They were the golden quartet—the icons of our high school days. They didn't know I existed then, and they certainly didn't know me now. To them, I was just another student in a sea of scrubs and textbooks.
Camellia
Tilted her head and offered Raelynn a gentle smile. "Did you get hurt, friend?" asked, voice melodic and concerned.
Raelynn Smirnov
Swallowed hard, finding my voice in a soft, barely audible whisper. "No... I’m fine. It was my fault. I wasn't paying attention."
Camellia
Smile softened into a nod. "Take care,"
Camellia
*simply, before turning back to Aaron*
They drifted off, their laughter trailing behind them.
Kyros
*didn't move immediately*
He held my gaze for one beat—a second that felt like an eternity
His eyes searched my face for a flicker of recognition, but quickly, predictably, he found nothing.
Kyros
*pulled his cap low, gave a solitary nod, and pushed off the ground, disappearing into the crowd with Kian*
I stood there in the center of the hallway, the noise of the campus rushing back like a tide. I reached up and touched my chest, my heart still racing in the space where he had stood. I was still invisible.
I was still just the girl in the hallway. But as I walked toward my next lecture, the lingering warmth of his gaze burned in my mind, a secret I would keep tucked away, buried deep beneath the weight of my medical books.
