Happy Halloween! -from Chinese BL Translations
All the remaining
students from 308 and their new dorm are a mess in the wee hours of the morning.
This immediately brings our homeroom teachers and even the principals back to
campus. All the high ranking staffs are cramped in Room 501 within half an
hour.
Their wording is careful and cautious, and
I understand why they’re so wary. Having a student die is already unusual, and
then something strange happens to five of the deceased student’s roommates in
their new room.
Our homeroom keeps talking to us gently. I
just noticed how soothing her voice can be, as if she’s soothing five children
on the brink of insanity who might just turn fully insane if she made a wrong
move. But we don’t make a sound. We just sit and listen and remain silent.
A shapeless force dissuades us from even
bringing up tonight’s happenings, let alone telling someone about it.
Who’d believe us?
In the end, they give up and call Chief
out by himself-he is in Student Council after all. I feel somewhat
relieved after they leave. I pick the pieces of paper up without a word and
roll them into a ball. I grip it in my hand not knowing what to do with it.
Should I throw it away? Into the garbage
can? Out the window? Maybe shred it? Or swallow it?
I smile wryly. If it appears on the table
again tomorrow morning after I throw it away, I’d probably scream until I’m
hoarse.
“Glooms, you got a light?” I sound weak
like I’ve been starving for a week.
He quietly passes a lighter over, and I
place the ball on the ground before lighting it. The flames slowly devour it.
Watching the white being taken over, first by yellow and finally by black,
somehow leaves me feeling reassured.
I know I’ve accepted the hypothesis that
we’re in trouble with the supernatural. I’m already thinking about the impossible
happening, like the black ashes before me turning back into a white piece of
paper with a horrifying circle tomorrow.
When Chief finally comes back after god
knows how long, he gives us a weak grin. “The principal said we could head home
and take it easy for a few days if we wanted to.”
“It’s for the best I guess.” I grin and
look towards Cubs curled up into a ball on his bed. “Hey Cubs, aren’t you from
around here? Go home and rest for a coupla days.”
His expression softens a bit. I know he
already planned to but was just too embarrassed to be the one ditching the rest
of us who are from out of town. No one wants to be that person.
“Let’s all stay at my place. It’s big
enough for everyone.”
“It’s alright.” I chuckle.
The ones in danger are Yuan Fei, Mu Mu and
me.
“Head back in the morning, Cubs, and stay
a few days. Don’t tell your family what happened today,” Chief instructs.
He nods and his curled up body finally
seems to slacken a bit. I actually kind of feel sorry for him. He has long been
scared out of his wits, but he hasn’t had the guts to call it quits.
“Glooms, your family’s here too, right?
You head back tomorrow too, okay?” Chief continues.
Xu Ping doesn’t respond. He just lies quietly on his bed staring at the ceiling.
“Yuan Fei, I remember you’re from Jinan.
Go get a train ticket home tomorrow morning. And Xiao Yu, you’re from the south
right? You two go together tomorrow.
We only give a grunt for reply and remain
still for the most part. Going home doesn’t really change much for me. My parents
are abroad and left an empty house back home for me.
Ha, I’m afraid I would go crazy if I’m
left alone in that deserted house thinking it
is going to pop out behind me like the Grudge.
That’s when it hit me-I am such a wimp.
The caretaker comes and reminds us the
lights are going off and to go to sleep. Everyone goes back to bed with a heavy
heart and soon darkness takes over the room.
Eyes wide open, I stare at the dark
ceiling, zoned out for some reason. Then after a while, I think when it’s 2 or
3 o’clock, I start feeling a little drowsy.
I guess they’re all fast asleep. I can
hear Cubs’ restless mumbling in his sleep. Poor kid will probably be having
nightmares for a long time.
I yawn and shut my eyes. I wonder if I
will be as restless as Cubs tonight.
Drip-drop.
My blood freezes. Was that water?
But this is Room 501! Far away from the
nearest washroom! How could there be water?
Not to mention sounding this close, like,
like it’s right outside the door!
My heart starts racing. I think of the deserted
fifth floor of the teaching block. I think of the night where that black figure
appeared. That mysterious sound has always been there during all of those
things. ‘Drip-drop.’
Creeeeeeeeeeeak.
The door slowly swings open.
I almost scream. I locked the door myself
before we went to bed. I’m sure I locked it and I’m also sure no one went
out!
I can see a black figure lightly pushing
the door open with the help of some dim lights from the hallway. It slowly
enters like it did the night before but it’s only because this time I’m more
than awake that I notice it isn’t walking at all. It’s simply gliding laterally
into the room like it’s on a skateboard. No footsteps, no breathing, nothing.
So it’s here again.
Who will be its prey this time around?
I don’t know if it can see me staring at
it but it’s undoubtedly moving past the two bunk beds by the door where Yuan
Fei is sleeping and coming towards the window.
I hurriedly close my eyes and try to
stifle my panicked gasps for air because it seems too loud in the silence. But
it’s no use; my heart’s pumping too fast. I can still feel the blood-curling
thing approaching me with my eyes shut. It’s the feeling where you know there’s
a person beside you with your eyes closed and you also know that it’s not really
a person and it’s looking straight at you! It’s a feeling that can make a man
lose his mind.
Why did it stop by my bed? Why me?
There’re so many others!
My insides knot together. Is it better
that it picks the others? Is it really?
I suddenly have an urge to cry my eyes
out, not because I feel completely helpless right now but because I’ve realised
that I’m actually this selfish and pathetic underneath the personality that I
call a feather in my cap. I’m actually hoping that it picks someone else, anyone
else but me. I’m praying for all the misfortunes to fall upon someone else,
anyone else but me. Even if everyone involved has to die in the end, I wish I
could be the last one.
Drip-drop.
The sound comes from inches away; it’s
right beside me after all.
What should I do? Take a look at it? What
would I see? What kind of face would it be? Or maybe I should make a loud noise
and scare it away? Or better yet, give it nice right hook while I’m close
enough?
My mind is a mess. Lots of options run
through my head but, really, the only thing I manage to do is keep my eyes
shut, hold my breath like my life depends on it and bite down hard on my lips
so I don’t scream.
Drip-drop.
Why is it still here? What does it want
from me?!
Drip-drop.
This time it sounds farther away from me
but that might just be me.
I’m scared out of my wits and all I can do
is keep doing what I’m doing.
What can I do? Nothing. Unlike the
protagonists in internet horror novels, I can’t face it, I can’t defeat it. I
only want to escape as far as I can.
I’m not sure when the sounds stops but
it stays quiet for a long time. If I can just open my eyes and check I can be
relieved but I’m too scared. I’m scared that once I open my eyes there will be
an unimaginably horrifying face. I’m scared that this is some kind of sick joke
of its to trick me into thinking it has left and get me to open my eyes.
But more minutes slip by, so many that the
uneasiness is too much to handle. Out of nowhere, I kick my blanket into the
air with all my might. My silly logic is that if it’s still there the blanket
will at least do some damage right?
I open my eyes to see the whole thing
banging on the table by my bed.
“What was that?!” Chief sits up
immediately and questions groggily. Glooms sits up too. Even Cubs seems to sit
up after doing a turn on his bed.
“Oh, it’s nothing. My, uh, blanket fell.”
I try to keep my voice in check so that they don’t hear any abnormalities.
“Geez. You gave me scare there.” Chief
grumbles before falling back into sleep.
Glooms lies back down quietly as I hop off
my bed. Cubs goes back to sleep yawning after helping me with my blanket. Only
when I get back on my own bed do I realise I’m soaking wet with my own sweat. I
wipe my forehead. My face is as wet as a swimming pool.
I bet it had left long before. I can’t
help but snicker. I think I’m starting to lose it.
“Perhaps it was just a dream and not
reality.” I comfort myself.
I catch a glimpse of Yuan Fei to my side
while fixing my blanket. He didn’t seem to be woken up by the commotion and is
still fast asleep.
What a pig.
I can’t help but feel envious.
Because I learn for a fact once I lie back
down that I won’t be falling asleep again tonight.
☵
I get out of bed
in a daze the next morning with blood-shot eyes while getting terrorized by
Cubs. I grab my towel and toothbrush yawning as I run straight into Yuan Fei on
his way back from the washroom. His eyes are blood-shot and you can tell he
didn’t have a good night’s rest from the dark rings under his eyes.
“Morning,” I greet.
We haven’t had any rough encounters since
that night at the meeting room. I do wonder how that came to be. But he’s been
looking bad, too, these days, blood-shot eyes and just looking miserable in
general.
Maybe he’s even more scared than Cubs.
He stares straight at me and it makes me
feel uncomfortable. His mouth opens, as if he wants to say something, but they
close and he brushes past me with his head lowered.
Weirdo.
I don’t bother with him either and walk
straight to the washroom to wash up. When I twist the tap shut, a single
droplet of water plunks into the sink.
Drip-drop.
My heart jumps to my throat but it soon
settles back down. I smirk while letting the sink drain out. I grab my stuff
and when I turn to leave, I hear whispering and muttering coming from behind
me. I guess Room 308 has become a hot topic overnight.
There’re car horns honking outside when I
get back to the dorm and Cubs rushes over to the window, hands waving.
“My family’s here to pick me up,” he
squeals.
I stick my head out the window and
whistle. “Sweet car! You rich bastard.”
He grins shyly and hurriedly packs his
bags. He turns to us after he’s finished and demurs. “Are you guys sure you
don’t wanna come over for a few days?”
“We’re sure. Just take care yourself,” I
laugh.
I take a bag for him and walk him
downstairs but he snatches on to my sleeve.
“Come stay with me, Sunny. Your whole
family’s abroad right? I’ll keep you company.” He says with a worried
expression.
Moved by his concern for me, I pinch his
cheeks and tease, “Just take care of yourself. Don’t you worry about me.”
I nudge him over to his car and make some
small talk with his dad. Cubs finally gets in after a few exchanges and I
chuckle when he sticks his head out the windows waving even after the vehicle
starts moving.
The guys have already come back from the
cafeteria when I get back to our dorm. I take the meat bun from Chief’s
outstretched hand without a second thought and take a big bite.
“Did you see Cubs’ ride?” I squeeze
through a mouthful of food. “So sick.”
“His grandpa is the director at the
General Hospital.” Chief pushes his glasses up. “Probably really wealthy.”
I do a double take. “What? The General Hospital? The one that’s
nationally famous? His grandpa’s the director?”
That damn Cubs never told me about this
before!
“He lives in a 4-thousand-something square
feet, two-storey mansion that comes with its own garden and pool,” Chief says
matter-of-factly.
I gaze in awe at Chief. I guess being in
Student Council does have its perks.
I’m still dealing with my breakfast when
Glooms speaks up. “Cubs’ bed…”
I look in the direction he’s pointing in
and I freeze. There’s a large water stain on the wall right next to Cubs’ bunk.
It looks like it’s coming from my bed if you don’t look closely, but I know for
a fact my bed’s dry as a bone.
This stain, why does this stain remind me
of that stain beside Kong Linglin’s bed?
“Um, is, is it leaking, next door?” I
manage to get the words out.
We’re in Room 501. Room 502 is to the
east. Cubs’ bed is on the west side. Which means…there’s nothing beyond that
wall!
Then where is the water coming from? This
is 308 all over again!
Leaking, water, drops, the black figure.
It climbed into the bunk above Kong
Linglin that night. Kong Linglin died.
It stood by my bed last night and I had
thought I was its next target. But I completely forgot that Cubs was sleeping
in the bunk under me, so it was standing beside him too!
But that doesn’t make sense either; Cubs
didn’t play the game, he couldn’t be a target! The food in my mouth suddenly
tastes foul. An ominous feeling lurks in my mind. My head feels numb and my
ears ring.
“You okay?” Chief pokes my shoulder.
I snap out of it and put on a smile.
“Yeah, fine.”
I spit everything out of my mouth and
quickly shove the rest into the garbage can by the stairwell.
What was I thinking? There’s no way Cubs
is next. He neither participated that night nor yesterday night. I’m being
overly sensitive. It must be broken pipe or something. Right, that’s it.
I tell myself repeatedly until I feel completely
calmed down, breathing out deeply.
That’s right. Cubs is the last person to
be its target. I’m just being too paranoid.
I face-palm myself, trying to resist the
urge to bang my head on a something.
I turn around in time to see Yuan Fei
walking in my direction with his chin on his chest. He takes a quick glance at
me before looking down again and brushing past me without a word.
“Yo, where you goin’?”
Maybe it’s just me, but I think he’s been
trying to avoid me.
“Train station.” He doesn’t pause and when
I catch his words he’s already disappeared into the stairwell.
“Wait, I thought we’re goin’ together,” I
murmur.
I take a look at the time-Who in their right
minds would go to the train station at this hour? Are they even open right now?
I guess his intelligence level has finally de-evolved from that of a simian to
that of a primate.
I lounge around the dorm until about half
past nine before heading to the train station. The lobby is already packed like
sardines when I get here. There are long winding lines before every single
ticketing window and loud hollering everywhere, making my head ache.
I find the train home and line up
at the end of that line. Soon more people line up behind me too. Peculiar
smells waft in the somewhat stuffy air. It gets more and more squishy and as I
advance in the line up I bump into the people ahead and behind me from time to
time. I feel like a sardine stuck in the middle of the school.
But somehow I feel safe.
I don’t hear that eerily close but
indistinguishable dripping sound. I don’t feel those terrifying eyes watching
me from somewhere in the darkness. I don’t sense things creeping up on me.
There’s only the crowd and the racket. I fit right in here and I know it won’t
be appearing here.
I feel like the heart that was up in my
throat finally found some peace. I don’t have to act as if nothing is wrong,
don’t have to cover up the butterflies in my stomach, don’t have to worry about
death being around the corner…
Surprisingly, I feel sort of let down when
it’s finally my turn. This is the first time that I feel no excitement with
train tickets back home in my hand.
I wander towards the entrance slowly on
purpose, looking around aimlessly, even going once around the supermarket in
the station. I’ve never found such peace and comfort amid noise before.
I take a seat on a bench in the departure
hall, watching the continuous crowds of people and listening to the announcer
read out the train schedules in her lovely voice. Slowly exhaustion hits me.
So sleepy. I don’t have to worry about too
much if I fall asleep here, right? At least not about some unknown creature.
Maybe about my wallet getting stolen though.
Ah, finally some peace.
Fatigue from staying up the whole night
finally pulls me into its embrace, wrapping me tight in its arms.
“Xiao Yu!”
I’m ripped away in an instant,
figuratively, by a holler and, literally, by someone. I stare bewildered at
Yuan Fei standing goggle-eyed before me. His eyes are swollen; it looks like he
was crying for a moment there.
“Yuan Fei? What’s wrong?”
He looks at me dumbfounded, as if it’s
unfathomable to him that I can talk, but the next moment energy seems to be
sapped out of him like an old rubber band.
“Nothing,” he mumbles, gently releasing
his grip on me. His lips tremble again like he wants to say something but he
turns and walks away without saying a word.
I bolt after him. “Yo, man! What the
hell’s up with you lately? What was that just now? What happened?”
“Nothing.”
“Bullshit! What’re you tryna hide?”
“I said NOTHING!” He suddenly raises his
voice, shocking not only me but the people around us.
I watch him for a second and then
forcefully drag him into a washroom without waiting for his permission. Only
after making sure we’re alone do I question, “Did you think something happened to
me just now?”
He keeps his eyes glued to the floor and
refuses to speak no matter what I say. Purely out of frustration I snatch on to
his collar.
“Hey! Listen up here, bud. I’m in a very
fragile mental state right now,” I bark. “I might just go on a killing spree
after this so you better spit it out while I’m still here.”
He doesn’t struggle and just lets himself
get shaken left and right by me like a lifeless puppet. This isn’t the Yuan Fei
I know; that tall bastard might always piss me off but he would never be
depressed and helpless like this.
“Yuan Fei.” My voice drops to a lower
volume.
I think maybe I would look like him too if
I didn’t try to act like everything’s okay.
“I’m really uneasy; I’m really scared,
too. I’ve no idea what we got ourselves into. I’m getting more and more
sensitive and I’m startin’ to imagine things lurking in the darkness. I’m
imagining the worst case scenario for everything I see. But I can’t help it,”
My hands start shaking, bringing his shirt
along.
“I’m afraid of the night, the silent
night, where I can’t find comfort no matter how tightly I close my eyes. It’s
like something’s watching me. Yannoe what that’s like? That creepy feeling?
That makes your hair stand? You’re afraid too right? You don’t want to be its
next target either right? Don’t you see, we’re on the same side here.”
He finally looks up at me and I finally
catch a sense of vulnerability from his eyes. He holds on to my arms.
“I, I thought, you might be the next one,
‘cause, ‘cause I saw…”
I tense up.
“Last night, I saw…” Yuan Fei stutters and
repeats himself, getting nowhere.
I heave a deep sigh, finally understanding
why he had looked like he wanted to talk to me today. “’Cause you saw a black
shadow by my bed?”
The hands on my arms suddenly squeezes so
hard that I’m frowning from the pain but he only looks at me like a dog seeing
a bone. “You can see it? You can see it!”
“Hmmph, it’s not like that’s a good
thing.” I chuckle weakly.
“I actually saw it the night before Kong
Linglin’s incident too. But then when I asked Glooms if he saw anything he said
he didn’t and told me to keep my mouth shut so I don’t freak you guys out.” His
expression seems much more relaxed now, probably since he finally found someone
on ‘his side.’
“So what about just now?” I raise my brows.
“I, I saw you sitting there, eyes closed,
I thought…” He looks down again with a sad expression.
Seeing this, I feel a warm feeling in my
heart; I didn’t know this guy actually cared about me.
I pat him on the back and put my arm
around his shoulders, mood much better than before. “Alright, King Kong. I,
Xiao Yu, officially end our opposition and call it truce. From now on we’re
fighting the same battle so don’t keep anything from me. Two brains are better
than one, am I right?”
“Yeah.” He gives me a light grin.
He looks a lot better than before but the
anxiety hasn’t left his eyes. I can tell he’s still hiding something from me
but I don’t push him. Something’s are better left unsaid until proven
otherwise, like that water stain and that dripping sound. I’m not sure if
they’re related at all. It might just be me, and I wish it really is.
I suppose the only thing I can do for my
roommates is not spreading the fear any further.
Chief is on the phone when Yuan Fei and I
get back to the dorm.
He beckons me over as soon as he sees me
and says into the receiver, “Sunny’s back, I’m passing the phone.” Then he
smiles at me. “It’s Cubs.”
I hastily take the receiver to hear Cubs
call out in his adorable voice, “Sunny!”
“Good boy.” My mood gets even better. “Got
home safe?”
“Yup. Got here a while now but they’d
been asking me a ton of questions so I didn’t get time to call. They all left
just now. I called right when I could.”
“Oh really? D’you have lunch yet?”
“Nope. Mum’s out grocery shopping. Said
she’s gonna cook up a feast for me. What about you?”
I pull out a chair and plop down on it,
laughing and chatting away with him, until I hear a creepily crisp sound.
Drip-drop.
My heart misses a beat.
It’s coming from the receiver!
A chill runs up my spine and all the pores
on my body shrinks instantaneously.
Drip-drop.
“Cubs,”
I can’t control my voice. Its trembling is
so obvious everyone looks at me. I hang on to the receiver but it almost slips
out of my grip from the sweat that has perspired.
“Sunny, what’s wrong?”
“Did you, hear something?”
Drip-drop.
“No. Why?”
I glance around nervously. The guys have
noticed my nervousness and have gathered around me. My hands start shaking more
violently and my teeth start chattering. Chief asks me what’s wrong but I can’t
spare the time to answer him. I’m searching in my mind but nothing comes.
“Sunny?” Cubs questions again.
Drip-drop.
“Is there a leakage at your place?” I
force my lips to curve up but I bet it looks worse than sobbing.
“Leakage? Don’t think so. Lemme check.” He
puts down the phone.
Clunk.
“Wait! Don’t! Cubs! Don’t go!” I scream.
But he doesn’t respond. I wait on pins and
needles. One Mississippi, two Mississippi…
Seconds tick by but he doesn’t pick the
phone back up.
“Cubs? Hello? Cubs!” I shout into the
receiver.
The other end remains very quiet. No
footsteps. No talking-
Crack!
Sound of glass shattering coming through
the receiver is like thunder booming to my ears.
My blood turns cold.
“…Cubs?”
It falls silent again. I can’t stand the
burning in my nose anymore and tears threaten to flow out of my eyes.
“Cubs! Hurry back! To school! Cubs!” I cry
into the phone like an insane person. “Talk to me! Pick up the damn phone!
Cubs!”
“Xiao Yu, what’s going on?” Someone is yanking
on my arm.
I don’t know who’s pulling on me but I
just keep crying into the receiver, coming apart at the seams like a cracked
dam that finally gave into the pressure of the waves. All of the stress and
fear that has built up the past few days just come bursting out in an instant,
transforming into pathetic bawling. I’m dragged away from the phone but I cling
on to the receiver like my life depends on it. The phone tumbles on to the
ground and I hear the dial tone.
“Cubs! Cubs! Come back!” I can’t stop
crying.
“Xiao Yu!”
“Cubs!”
“Hold’m on the bed!”
Why Cubs? He didn’t do anything. He’s such
a nice kid. He never starts fights. He never does anything bad. He’s pure like
a blank piece of paper. Why did it have to be him? Why innocent Cubs? There’s
been a mistake!
I’m pressed down on the bed. A couple of
figures hover before me but I can’t tell who’s who. I buckle like a mad cow,
crying and screeching hysterically until everything goes black and the darkness
swallows my consciousness.
Cubs…

ReplyDeleteOh my, every chapter just keeps taking my breaths away, literally.
Poor Cubs. TT_TT Though I kinda suspected it since they're telling him to go home and whatnot. (but also hoped not too; sad reality orz)
Anyway, that aside,...out of curiosity, is there a difference in the feelings when read in Chinese as opposed to in English? Like, is it scarier/creepier reading in Chinese or in English, or the same in your guys' opinions?
Thanks for translating.
As chicken as I am, I can't stop myself from wanting to continue thank you very much! heh heh
But if there's an audio drama for it, ehhhh...I shall not take a listen...=_=;;
Hmm? What do u mean Ouo
DeleteI'm glad you like it! :D Yeah poor Cubs </3
I'm sure the feelings are different but I try to make it as equal as possible.
You're welcome :3 There is an audio drama actually! hehehe 8)
