Cherreads

Chapter 1 - He is the villain

Smoke was everywhere, pouring out of the distinct dark shaded car, which was crashed into the road sidelines. The man on the back seat of the car lays unconscious, and the driver was in critical condition as blood flowed down from his head, which was resting on the steering.

Afar from this scene,

A woman wearing red heels, and a glamorous dress clearing representing that she was attending a feast before, she adjusted the ring of the middle finger of her right hand as she nonchalantly glanced on the scene before her.

"Here comes my turn" She said, while stepping towards the hazardous accident scene.

"I am here to save you" She said confidently as she reached closer to the scene.

Earlier this day,

An eye catching glorious feast was organised at the city's best hotel for the couple's engagement ceremony. Big posters of the couple were posted on the boards. A woman wearing the same heel and dress, standing close to a handstand causally sipping from the glass of the wine as she raised her glass in the direction of the couple who were talking to the guests,

Where's the antagonist?,

She thought to herself, glancing over the crowded place,

Tall, sharp features and wears glasses, there are many like that,

She kept looking in hope of finding the exact one who she was looking for.

Her eyes kept drifting, but they stopped as soon as they fell upon a man, whose presence was impossible to ignore, he fitted perfectly into the criterion of the antagonist, whom she was looking for.

He clunked his glass to the middle aged couple before him, raising his glass close to his lips as he took a sip down from it.

Is this the antagonist?,

She thought to herself.

She was about to move in his direction, when out of nowhere a sudden siren started to echo loud enough to be heard, but everyone else resumed their movements as if there was no disturbance at all.

The siren was only audible to the beauty, she looked upwards and at just a feet above from the height of the crowd was a panel, the one often visible in the games but this one was better designed and felt realistic.

The panel displayed the words written on it in a dangerous colour,

Warning!

The host is advised to avoid any direct contact with the antagonist before the trigger scene in order to facilitate the process of the task.

The Beauty halted at her place and rested her right arm of the handstand again, casually drifting back to her old demeanor,

As if I really want to have any contact with him!, She huffed at the instructions provided by the panel.

The engagement ceremony was completed without any disturbances, but the rest was yet to be known. The guests were all leaving including the Beauty and the antagonist, the man settled down at the back seat of his car while his assistant sat at the driver seat, fixing his seatbelt as he placed himself on the seat,

The Beauty was looking at this with a small amused smile on her face,

Tie the seatbelt properly, don't die before I come to save you, She thought to herself as she witnessed the victim going.

In the hospital,

A man lays on the hospital bed with a patch attached to his hand as the doctor reviews the patient's report,

"Everything's good now, the patient can be discharged after some days." The doctor said to the lady, who sat beside the patient's bed.

"Thank you" The Beauty expressed her gratitude.

"It's my duty" The doctor replied as a matter of fact.

The doctor left the room, leaving only the two of them, the Beauty started to peel the apple, while suddenly the hand of the man, who lays down on the bed moved.

Her knife stopped mid-air, she stared at his hand as his finger moved once again. Hurriedly, she placed the things on the desk and stood near him,

He opened his eyes to see the hospital's ceiling, slowly and deliberately he sat up supported by the bedside.

The Beauty maintained her distance, and poured him some water, handing him the glass,

"Are you okay?, do you feel any type of discomfort?" She asked while sitting on the chair,

The man shook his head in response,

"The man with you was heavily injured and now he's currently in the resting ward, still unconscious" she reported to the man,

The antagonist hummed in response, drinking the water.

"And you're ?" The man asked,

"Yu meiren, you must have seen me at the engagement ceremony." The Beauty replied.

The man nodded his head.

There was a moment of silence in the ward, accompanied by a voice,

Silence?, all of a sudden?.

The man looked at the beauty, puzzled at her sudden change of behaviour.

But there were no signs of anything on her face,

Why is he staring?,

The voice once again echoed in his ear, but the woman before him didn't move her lips at all.

The man panicked and said,

"Call the doctor immediately."

The doctor checked upon the condition of the man,

"Everything's alright, your eardrums are perfectly fine."

"But I'm hearing things" The antagonist complained,

"can you specify it?" The doctor asked,

"It's just hearing things, as if someone saying all of that" he blurted out,

"In your case, it's a specific medical condition in which people are able to hear their own thoughts as if someone else is saying this, but it's just their own"

The doctor professionally clarified,

Has he gone mad?,

the antagonist heard the familiar female voice once again, he looked around towards yu meiren.

His instincts told him that she is the one who is thinking all of this, but his rational mind refused to believe.

It's not possible for me to hear someone's thoughts,

He told himself, consoling about these creepy things as he heard that familiar voice once again.

So, this man has really gone mad.
