Twenty-Nine
"Okay, everyone split up, we need to find him," Hongjoong commands, leader instincts instantly kicking in.
"I'll stay here with Seonghwa and Aurora," Yeosang tells him, coming to get the sleeping girl from Mingi and shushes her as she huffs in her sleep. He pouts, her little cheeks were red and stained with dry tears.
Seonghwa winces as Hongjoong moves out from beside him, the captain pouting, "I'm sorry love. Everyone check all over the island, and if you have to... we will go deeper but stay together!"
"I'll gather Juno and Thatcher," Teresa nods, turning to leave, "They're really good at tracking, maybe they will be able to find where he was taken."
One by one, everyone leaves except for Mingi and Hongjoong, Yunho waiting outside the door for his lover. Mingi clears his throat, "Joong, the body-"
"We'll worry about that piece of shit when I get back," Hongjoong growls, "Fucker deserves more than a bullet in his groin and his skull."
"You... you shot him?!" Yeosang's eyes widen and Hongjoong looks to him, his jaw clenched.
He points to Seonghwa, who was trying to adjust himself so he can lay down, "Look at Seonghwa. The bruises on his face, the bruises on his ribs and belly, I thought I lost my child! Because of him!"
"Hongjoong!" Seonghwa pleads, trying to sit up but hisses in pain. The captain goes over to him and helps adjust him so he can lay down, Seonghwa whimpering and his face contorted in pain. Hongjoong turns back to Yeosang, who is a little upset at Hongjoong for raising his voice at him, and Seonghwa stops him by grabbing his hand, "Baby, please. Don't be mean, go find Wooyoung please."
Hongjoong sighs, looking back at Yeosang, "I'm sorry, but the fucker deserved a worst death than a few punches and a bullet in two of the most precious places on a man's body." He turns to Mingi and nods, "We'll take care of the body when we find Wooyoung. For now, we need to find him."
"Well then let's go!" Yunho sighs, pointing to the woods, "The more we stand here arguing and talking about what happened, the more we lose any traces of finding him!"
Mingi grabs Hongjoong and pulls him out of the house, leading them out to the woods with the others. Yeosang sighs, bouncing Aurora softly as he takes her over to her bassinet, and lays her down. He shushes her when she whimpers, but falls back asleep when she's settled. Yeosang smiles at her, brushing her tiny blonde curls out of her face, "She's absolutely gorgeous."
"She is," Seonghwa replies sleepily, Yeosang looks over to see him watching them, "One of my favorite things to do is watch her sleep. She's such a character, based on her eye movement and facial expressions you can tell if she's having a good dream or a bad one."
Yeosang chuckles, "She's very expressive anyway."
"Oh yeah," Seonghwa chuckles, wincing as he done so, "just like her daddy and mommy. Sometimes when she's having a bad dream when I am holding her, I will talk to her or sing, and she suddenly smiles and it's as if her bad dream was chased away." He sighs, his eyes watering slightly, "Tonight... I wish tonight she didn't see what happened."
"She saw?"
Seonghwa nods, tears falling down his cheeks takes in a deep breath, "Yeah, she saw everything. I'm lucky it was just a beating and not him actually killing me or fucking me in front of her. I never wanted her to see anything like this..."
Yeosang frowns, looking back at the little girl and hearing her coo in her sleep, as if she's talking. He chuckles, rubbing his belly as he watched her. One day, and here soon, he's going to experience this.

"Wooyoung!! WOOYOUNG!!" Everyone screams as they sink deeper in the jungle, looking all over well, but the thickness of the trees and bushes were making it difficult.
They look everywhere: from the trees, to the ground, to their left, to their right. Wooyoung is no where to be seen, so they sink deeper and deeper into the thick forest. Mingi links hands with Yunho as they sink further, not wanting to lose his lover in the field of green leaves. Yunho's father and brother were looking over the ground well, looking for any sign of Wooyoung until- "I think I got something!"
All of their attention turns to Thatcher and Jongho is the first over to him and the older man points to the footprints, "Small feet for an adult male, but there's his. And then surrounding him looks to be a little kid and a woman's foot? Honestly they both look almost the same to me."
"There's so many," Jongho whispers, looking all around and noticing they're everywhere, "Where could he have gone?"
"I don't know," Juno comments, cutting into the conversation as he held his lantern high and his machete he was using to mark trees for their way back to the village, "But they stop right here. I went ahead and didn't see anymore."
"Damn it," Thatcher curses, running a stressed hand through his salt and pepper hair, "Fucking witches."
"It can't be," Juno shakes his head, "The prints may have stopped here, but there is no such things as witches."
"They stop right here! And they don't go back to the camp," Yunho argues, "Something took him. Something-"
"Calypso," Everyone turns to see a woman with white hair and light skin. She stood away from everyone, and just a torn gown covered her body as she takes a timid step closer, "She's been searching for Wooyoung for a while now, the sickness San experienced was her way of tracking where Wooyoung is. When Wooyoung touched him, Calypso confirmed he was here."
"Who are you," Mingi asks, pushing Yunho behind him and standing in front of everyone.
"I am Daenerys-"
"Yeosang's mother," San whispers, locking eyes with her and realization hits him, "Right?"
"Correct," she smiles, softly before turning to face the rest, "Calypso used to be a dear friend of mine, and after she revealed she couldn't find Yeosang and my mate... I have been watching every step she takes. I seen her trap you boys and use you as personal toys. I seen her summon the hurricane to try and wipe you all away. I have even seen her track you down to the ocean city and place a tracker on San. She planned to kill him off. That mark on San was supposed to kill him after Wooyoung was found, but I left a potion in the window for you all to save him with it."
"Did you see Calypso come here?" Hongjoong asks, his face hard and he wasn't playing games anymore, "Why didn't you step out to save him?"
"I can only stay on land for so long before I lose my ability to change," Daenerys comments, "I know you're upset, but maybe I can help track him."
"How?" Jongho interacts, "Calypso is the most powerful woman on the planet and she knows how to hide her tracks and play games."
Daenerys smiles, "You're forgetting who is also powerful and who found a cure to save San. I wasn't always this powerful, my powers come from the water."
"So you can find him?" Jongho confirms, his heart beating rapidly.
"I can find him. And I can also kill Calypso."
