I went straight to the Amone house dorms, I wanted to sleep, I didn't want to explain anything to the others, it just seemed so long, so much effort. I dropped flat on the bed, staring up at the ceiling blankly, will life ever get better?

Next morning

"Wake up," someone shook me awake while whispering, I groaned and squinted my eyes towards the clock. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I looked at Taehyung, rubbing my eyes, "if we're going to sneak out to earth we gotta go and be back before everyone wakes up and notices we're gone." He whispered.

"It's 5am, do you know how close I am to ripping your head off?" I tilted my head, my eyes yearning to close again. "Don't you wanna see Mr Kim?" He asked me, making me yeet off the blanket and slightly jog to go wash my face and brush my teeth.

"Wear some earthy clothes," he told me, leaving the dorm. You could buy all sorts of clothes here but I had to fit in so I just wore all the normal stuff I saw women wear on the streets. The 'weird' girls would wear the clothes worn in earth, so damn. I quickly changed into one of the outfits I got for Christmas from my father, I'm guessing he knew the style I liked if he was always watching over me, because the clothes matched what I had in my wardrobe back on earth.

"Alright let's go," I walked out my dorm and into the Amone common room, meeting Taehyung as I put on a jacket since it was quite cold. We set off, heading out the barrier was difficult considering they had increased security due to the whole nefarious incident. But all it took was for me to slightly prick my finger, I acted like I hadn't done it on purpose to reveal the colour of my blood to the guards that had now let us out.

"Guess being a malefic does have it's benefits," I shrugged, as we sort of ran down the pathway between heaven and hell, finally reaching the portal area. Taehyung did the little twinkle twinkle knock thingy, and a large portal opened for us. We walked in, walking out inside my house where we left it.

Except it was a mess, we had cleaned before we left I remember it, things were scattered, as if someone were trying to find something. "Someone broke in," Tae said, "you don't say," I scanned the room, everything was damaged. I ran up to my godfathers room and opened the money safe, everything was still there. So if someone didn't break in for money, what did they come for?

"We didn't keep anything magical in the house, not a single thing, I've turned this place upside down trying to look for something about who I am, and in general about me. So whoever broke in here was bound to be unsuccessful." I said, hearing Taehyung behind me. "Unless they were looking for an anchor," he said, "a what?"

"Something the nefarious can use against you when they come, they wish for you to be on their side, and I'm sure they aren't going to ask nicely. An anchor is something special to you, something that links to a strong memory, a memory that can be recreated because of mizpah," he began.

"A mizpah is an emotional bond between those separated by death, all they need is an anchor that connects to someone like Seojun or your godfather to make you relive the memory, and make you vulnerable. I assume that's when they're going to pull you to their side, hypnosis can only be done to you when you're mentally weak because you're a powerful being, remember the only time I could read your thoughts was when you were at your lowest."

He explained, "but I don't have something like an anchor, it's not like I have some sort of picture that's so important I keep it in my phone case..." I paused as I made eye contact with Taehyung.

"Motherfucker."

I ran out the room, down the stairs and straight out of the house. "What did you think of an anchor?" Taehyung sped behind me, "yep and I'm really not liking who it's with," I said, speed walking before I paused to realise something. When I fought Zanira I didn't say any spells, I just thought of what I wanted to do, so I looked around, noticing that the street was empty; it was literally 6am on a Saturday, only the people with their lives together wake up right now, so no wonder no one was awake. I shone my light as Taehyung looked down at me confused, "what are you doing?" He asked, "do you trust me?" I responded with a question.

"No."

"Oh shut up," I grabbed onto his hand, closing my eyes as I thought of teleporting near Heon's house. -whoosh- we opened our eyes in a different place to where we were before, I think we were inside Heon's house. I turned my head to see a pair of dirty of underwear, "yep we're at the right place." I spoke with a disgusted expression.

"Yeah but you idiot we just teleported INSIDE, you can't be so reckless with magic on earth, we have to get out before someone in his family sees an idiot who just whooshed into their house when the doors are locked." He yelled in a whisper.

"Just to clarify, you're the idiot right-"

Suddenly he pushed both of us into the nearest hiding spot he could find which was the little area underneath the stairs. "Shush," he put his finger on my lips as if I was dumb enough to speak in that situation. By the scent I could tell it was Heon's father who was coming down the stairs, he was a little bit of a drunkard. He laid himself flat on the couch, raising his ass a little to release a fart.

Me and Taehyung looked down, sucking in our cheeks while trying not to laugh. That's when we made eye contact, why did everything seem to slow down when I looked into them? Like those movies my heartbeat was so loud it's like the vibration of it was shaking the house, flashbacks of the kiss weren't helping either, it just made me fantasise about wanting to do it again.

I lit my light again, concentrating more with both my hands, "ok touch me," I whispered making his face heat up, "w-what."

"Oh you dirty fucker," I rolled my eyes, tiptoeing so our foreheads would touch. -whoosh- now we were standing right outside his house. We walked around to Heon's bedroom window, throwing a rock up to get his attention.

We almost broke his window with how many rocks we threw but nothing, "either he's a heavy sleeper or he's not in there." Tae said, arm tired from throwing all those rocks. "Jewel?" We both turned around at the voice, "how did you get here so fast?" Heon asked, tilting his head. "Huh?" I walked closer to him, analysing his face, and his eyes.

"I was with you? You called me and said you needed me urgently, I gave you the picture?" He furrowed his eyebrows, "you did? Wow, yeah, I remember that." I lied, confused as fuck, "they tweaked his memory." Taehyung whispered, "only they can return it," he finished. "But wait why would you give it up so easily? Don't you need it for your anxiety?" I tilted my head, "somethings up with that picture Jewel, I don't know it doesn't help much," Heon replied, scratching the back of his head making my squint my eyes in even more confusion.

"Well, it was great seeing you, uh, stay safe," I said to Heon, who was still quite puzzled at seeing me. "You too?" He tilted his head, unsure of what to say, we said our goodbyes as me and Taehyung headed off, sighing out.

"I just don't understand how they would know that I gave it to Heon, if they're really spying on my every move I should be terrified. Like what about when I'm showering," I shivered dramatically at the thought. "Really? That's what you're concerned about? You can't even make a plan with someone to fight them because they'll know about it, they'll always be a step ahead." Tae released a breath, "we can never win."

"We?"

"What you don't actually think you can fight them alone? Not when you're such a rookie at handling your powers," he shook his head at me.

"Anyways, it's getting late, we need to make a quick visit to Mr Kim and go back to the ED," he changed the topic, pushing me a little forward to lead the way. I decided not to do the teleportation shit, I had a feeling I'd have us end up in the arctic. Once we reached Mr Kim's house I reached under the flower pot for the spare key, I would come over to sleep on the couch without him even knowing. My house just felt so alone when my godfather would stay out for the night.

We entered as I knocked slightly to alert him that I was here. Mess, everywhere, just like at my house, "oh Jewel it's been forever," Mr Kim skipped down the stairs with a cup of coffee in his hands. "Don't mind the mess, I had a little bit of a temper tantrum while marking the exams," he continued. I ran to him, practically flying into his embrace, "I missed you." I hugged him tighter, "how's Switzerland?" He pulled out the hug and asked me, "sorry?" My face was filled with confusion at the peculiar question.

"You moved to a boarding school in Switzerland did you not?" He chuckled, "r-right I did," I awkwardly smiled along with him, turning back to glance at Tae but he shrugged too. Who the hell said that. "Guys I know the mess is quite bad but please, sit," he quickly went and moved things off the couch. Taehyung took a seat as I followed after him, "so, what brings you back? Did you miss me that much?" He teased, smiling while I just tilted my head to admire him. "Yes, indeed I did miss you that much, hows school? Are the students still a pain in the ass?" I asked.

"School used to be a whole lot more tolerable when my favourite student was there, Jewel why the sudden move to Switz?" He questioned, "I just needed a fresh start," I replied. "Then maybe I could move there too, we always move together, I don't like that you're there all by yourself." He told me, "oh no there's no worry, I've got this idiot taking care of me, you've done enough for me," I responded. "You've grown up so well," Mr Kim placed his warm hand over mine.

"We gotta go," Tae whispered, nudging me, "it was great seeing you again, I have to go now I'm sorry," I said while getting up. We really only came so I could have the satisfaction of seeing him and knowing he was fine. "So soon? Ok, take care, I'll see you again,"

"I promise."
