Chapter 13 - Demigod's Captive
All I can see inside Taehyung's glistening eyes are fire, purple colour flames burn inside them, making me hard to break eye contact with his orbs. Those pair of peepers almost have control of me entirely. My mouth keeps parting like a goldfish, opening and closing. A current passes through my shoulder blade and gives me a chill.
I have noticed something through my time here, every time where magic is used, I can feel that sensation where my birthmark is, like a cold liquid leaking along its traces.
Is it just a coincidence or does it mean something?
"Tell me what your name is, Who are you?" the deep voice of Taehyung dominates me, his orders are forcing from the inside of me. As the purple flames in his eyes radiant even more brilliantly unknowingly some words spill from me,
"I'm Cha Y/n, the only daughter of Cha Won-Shik and Song Chan-Mi" Without my consciousness, my voice timidly obeys Taehyung. Not taking the discerning gaze away from me, he continues to mind-torture me,
"How do you happen to be in Jeon's residence? What kind of sorcery do you hold Y/n?" I object to answer him, but my mind is no longer under my control. I am hypnotized by his eyes, which seem to be where his power holds.
"I was flying to Korea to see my mom, my parents are divorced-" I pause for a moment. Is this necessary?
But my lips keep forming to talk ceaselessly.
"My plane crashed, when I woke up I was in a room in Jungkook's place, "
"I'm asking again Y/n," Taehyung's voice is sharp, "What sorcery do you carry?"
"I do not join hands with any kind of evil, I came here alone, I have no fellowship with whatever it is that threatening to your Kingdom" I am surprised to hear those words confidently coming out of me. They have no hesitation, no regret, they are firm and poised.
The room falls into silence. I am jittering with nervousness. Will they heed me as their enemy? I have no absolute idea about what's happening, but will they believe me?
At last, I feel the absence of the piercing gaze that was controlling me. Finally, I have a breath as the man who has ravishing dark brown hair steps away from me, creating a space between us which sets me at ease.
Others look at Taehyung with concern, he looks slightly demented yet there is a tint of satisfaction in his face that tells me I'm in the safe zone.
" She's not a threat to us, she's clear" he finalises after the question session leaving me to release a sigh of relief. He continues as he stares at me,
"I believe that she has accidentally crossed paths between two dimensions. What she's saying is true,"
"But..." Does he not believe me? A slight panic pulls into me.
"I won't say that she is completely innocent,"
What?
"What!?" I abruptly exclaim.
"Can you be more specific Kim Taehyung?" The wise one with the headband asks the other one. Kim Taehyung? So this is one of the Kim brothers I was told about, No wonder his charm felt so powerful.
I sense trouble.
"She's not a threat but she did not come here all by herself, she has a reason to come here." I wrinkle my forehead with confusion.
"What do you mean?" My voice is quiet. Taehyung's face looks serious as he talks,
"I saw something weird when I read you, unlike others, it was hard to dominate you. You surely hold something unique-"
"Does that means she's wicked in any terms ?" A man who I still don't know his name, speaks out his face has a mark that roots down to his neck. A flow of a flowery pattern starts from the brows of his eyes and goes all under them, tracing down to the skin of the neck. It's so beautiful, but what is more beautiful is the face of the sunshine he has. The man scrutinises me but refuses to present me with a smile.
"I won't exactly say that, but she does hold something complicated, something fascinating. I think she holds a source of magic," My eyes grow to widen as Taehyung says the word magic.
What kind of frickity fract is this? This is ridiculous.
"This is absurd, I highly doubt that I am capable of throwing pixy dust from my palms or turning myself into a giant talking turtle or something," I throw a fit with the implausible explanation Taehyung brought up with.
"Imagine her head stuck in a turtle body, it would be hilarious" An unexpected laughter from Jungkook makes me frown my face and roll my eyes. Jimin who is next to him silently laughs, still generous enough not to mock me like his ebony-haired partner. But the tall one with pinkish hair couldn't hold his laugh.
"Good one Jungkook, "a windshield laughter scatters the air.
"I don't find that very funny Jeon Jungkook!" I hiss, giving him an evil eye, only to receive another snortful laughter from him. Gladly the one who seems to take the lead steps in before further brawl continues.
"What should we do with her?" The atmosphere again fills with tense quietness. Maybe they are my answer, they can help me find a way out, back to where I belong.
"I just want to go home, If I go home you guys no longer have to worry about me and you can just focus on your Kingdom," others listen to me, I am being as reasonable as I can.
"Help me get home,"
"Please, I beg you, I just want to go home," I glance at each of them, "I'm sure you all have the power to do that right?" They look at each other before answering me.
"Our power doesn't work like that Y/n, " the masculine with pink hair says with a concerned gaze. "It requires lots of power hence, the contribution of all our power to teleport one from one dimension to another. It can take up to months to do that," his lips form a thin line.
My face gets cloudy with gloominess at every word the pink-headed says.
"Under our current circumstances, it's highly unlikely to do that Y/n, I'm very sorry for that, but it's not possible," I bite and pull my lower lip inside with dismay. My eyes blink several times to dry off the welling orbs.
"So there's no going back? Am I stuck in here forever?" my faded voice queries. I heave a heavy sigh. Is there no way out?
The same tall man places a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me. Even Jungkook who was making fun of me looks like he was sorry for me, he too gazes at me with worried pair of doe eyes.
"Y/n, I wish there was a way. But at this very moment, our kingdom has fallen to grave danger, which makes our powers weak, it's not enough to get you home, "The previously mentioned handsome tall figure tries to console me by trying to make me understand the current situation.
I keep listening to him as his convincing words smoothly talk to me.
"Teleportation without enough power can cause ill fate, terrible things might happen. You might even get stuck between two dimensions that you will never be able to get out again," his words make me shudder. I nod with understanding. A wise and low arouse, the owner of the voice is the tall man with the headband, who I assumed as their leader.
"There's only one way," with his statement all others including me turn our heads towards him. My eyes fill with hope with an uplifting delightful feeling of a solution.
"What would be that Namjoon?" The pink-haired man who is standing next to me questions with surprise, his eyebrow arches towards the other with curiosity. Does this man truly have an answer?
"If she uses the power of the Luna flower it's possible, " others gasp as he says, as for me I stay dumbfounded with no clue of what he meant by that.
"No offence but Namjoon, we still don't have any tracks of where it is, I'm sure you are well aware of it. " That man with greeny robs states with consideration.
"I am aware of that Hoseok, but it's her only way, and obviously ours too." Namjoon's words don't seem to convince the other guys in the court though it seems,
"I agree with Hoseok, we merely got a sign of a prophecy but how can we be sure of it? " The male shakes his head in denial, "No Jin hyung, it can be possible with its divine power," he says to the guy who has pink hair.
"But even if so, she'll have to be with us through the whole process, isn't it?" Jungkook asks, diving into deep thoughts.
"She doesn't have many options anyway," Namjoon says and then turns to me, who is bewildered by all of the nonsense that barely made sense to me. It seems that Luna flower is the one previously referred to as their source of energy, it's going to help me get home.
"Y/n, what I'm about to ask you may sound insane but it's the only way," well it's not like I've already encountered some of the most unbelievable things, so yeah positive.
"What is it?"
"You will have to join hands with us to fight the evil, as for that process, we need to thrive on the Luna flower which is also the only source that can take you back where you belong." What did I even expect...
"That doesn't sound so bad, so all I have to do is to help you thrive the flower?" He nods.
"Where's this Luna flower?"
"It's never seen by anyone, it's invisible, no one knows what it looks like nor where it appears to be, in short, no one knows where the Luna flower is or what the Luna flower is,"
No shit Sherlock
What have I got myself into
What in the world is this?
