- Chapter 9 :

"Luce be a little faster please!" Taehyung eagerly whined as you sent him a glare, telling to be patient. This wouldn't work if you went faster for him. "That's what she said." Yoongi said with a smug face as he walked into the room, watching you two. You gasped and heated up as Taehyung looked blankly at Yoongi, confused. "Yoongi!" You gasped as he smirked, standing next to you two and watching you slowly boil the food on the stove. 

You were trying to make and Orphian dish for the hungry Taehyung, key work trying. You'd never exactly cooked and the vegetables and types of foods found on Capella were a tad too different from the ones found on Orpheus. Now, Yoongi was distracting you even more as you retained yourself from smacking him. Living on the streets had taught you a few dirty things. You then turned to Taehyung with a slight frown, glancing at him. 

"And also, Luce? Is no one on this ship going to call me by my real name?" You sighed as both men replied 'no' at a synchronized time. You flipped the blue thing on the stove ans grumbled to yourself. "Luce!" "Yes, Taehyung." You emphasized his name as Taehyung paused, abruptly stopping what he was going to say before. "You should call me Tae then." Taehyung suggested as you smiled at how cute the nickname sounded. "Okay then."

"I guess you can call me dadd-" "YOONGI STOP IT!" Yoongi hid his laughter as he began walking out, sighing about how he needed a partner to make dirty jokes with. "I'm confused." Taehyung frowned as you made a hand gesture for him to forget it, "Just tell me what you were about to say before." Taehyung avidly nodded and then looked at the stove and the burning yellow fire, "I do know a few things about your powers actually." He said as you turned around, surprised. "H-How?" "I overheard Taemin a few times.  .  ."

"But I'm not going to tell you anything about them." The smile on your face vanished as you looked angrily at Taehyung, "What the hell man? Why can't I know my powers? You both have such great ones and I'm so pathetic!" You sobbed, falling to the floor and hugging your knees. You hadn't showed it, but ever since Taemin had basically ordered his guards to rape you, your insecurities had grown tremendously. You wanted to be strong too, you didn't like being so weak and helpless. None of the boys knew martial arts and the ship didn't have Capellian weapons for Taehyung to teach you anyways. You were just the pilot, a fake guide.

Taehyung kneeled in front of you and tugged you closer to him, wrapping his arms around you and enveloping you in a hug. You sobbed a little and then stopped, wanting to stop appearing so weak. Taehyung didn't say anything as he reached up with one hand and turned off the stove, hugging you again. "You've never been pathetic or weak in my eyes Luce." You paused at his words as he began gently swaying you in his embrace. His body was warm and inviting and you sniffled a little as he continued.

"You're strong and passionate. You didn't break down or go into shock like other girls would in the palace, nor did you show all of these hateful emotions until now. The truth is, I've been watching you ever since we met and you've been full of all this hate and dislike for yourself even though you didn't show it. I don't know anything about your powers at all, I just did this to bring out the feelings and to calm you down. You need to spill the tea, or tae sometimes." You tried not to smile at the lame joke he made and instead thought about what he said. 

You felt much calmer than before, almost peaceful. He wasn't wrong anyways. "Also, Yoongi told me what you were thinking about me, don't kill him for that by the way." You sighed out loud as you could almost picture Yoongi smirking at you. "I'm actually quite the happy person Luce, however my alien personality type of people wouldn't survive a day in the palace. I had to act serious and like I didn't care." You looked up in surprise as Taehyung began shaking a little, rocking you harder to hide it.    

"And now that I'm free from that hell hole, I can be myself again. All because of you and Yoongi I  can be happy, so thank you Luce." He said, placing his face in the crook of your neck, sniffling as you both sat there for some more time, just releasing all the stray emotion you both felt and bonding with each other on an emotional level. 

"Hey is the food- Oh." Yoongi froze as he walked in on you and Taehyung hugging on the floor, tears dripping. "Is everything.  .  .okay?" He uncertainly asked as you and Taehyung looked at each other and back to Yoongi, smiling with a small evil glint present. Yoongi quickly read into your mind, knowing that you'd chide him late as his eyes grew at what you were thinking. 

"Oh-Oh hell nah!" He backed away, screaming later as Taehyung tackled him to the floor, initiating the group hug. You giggled and joined, hugging the happy Taehyung and squirming Yoongi. Eventually Yoongi gave up trying and you, on one hand were happy on the inside, happy that you'd met these beautiful men, the start to your new family that you knew you had to find. 

Eventually, you and Taehyung released the dead Yoongi as he rolled on the floor, crying about how he hated the physical contact he'd just gotten. You rolled your eyes and finished the food, forcing Yoongi to get up and eat and feeding Taehyung like a baby since he'd asked. You noticed Yoongi watching with a twitching eyes and sighed as you ended up feeding both boys at the same time. "Thank you mom!" They both exclaimed as you chuckled at them, feeling motherly yourself. 

You then left them there and settled in your piloting chair, picking up the book that Yoongi had trashed before while trying to get you to awaken your powers. The book luckily was on the same page as before so you easily picked up and read. You were a little slow and wished that you'd learnt Canclo better but were able to suffice. You were talking in Canclo to Yoongi and Taehyung since you all knew different ways to speak and in different languages, so you had a little better luck reading as well. 

From what you were able to pick up from the small font, the guide had the powers of all the legends as well, but could only use them for a limited amount of time before running out of energy. You read about your other hints at your powers, none outright coming out with the powers that you help. With a frustrated sigh, you plopped the book down and groaned, wondering how no one had written records on the guide. After all, there had to be a guide to the legends before right? 

Feeling a tad deflated, you sunk in your chair and went to press the destination button, wanting to distract yourself by learning about Atlair. As you reached to press the button though, your hand slipped and you pressed a different button, sweating as you groaned again. Why did you always have to mess up on the control panel of all places? You buckled up and closed your eyes in anticipation for your mistake, wondering if it had the same effects of the lever you used before as you realized something; nothing was happening.

"That's weird." You muttered to yourself as you opened your eyes, to find a large metallic bot staring right down at you. You let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor, backing up against the door with a bewildered expression present on your face. Immediately, there was shuffling and you turned around from your perch on the floor to find Yoongi and Taehyung running in with pots and spoons in hand. You tried not to laugh wondering why people with such epic powers would resolve to kitchen utensils, especially a spoon. Even a fork or knife would be better.

Yoongi took one look at the robot before looking at you and deadpanning, Taehyung waving at the metal bot. "Ciel what did you do this time?" You raised your hands in defense and pointed at the panel, "It was an accident.  .  .again." You added when you were given another look from Yoongi. You looked to the empty space next to Yoongi and gasped, turning rapidly to find Taehyung hugging the metal bot, smiling with a box smile. "Hello! I am Taehyung!" He said pointing to himself as you floor palmed, Yoongi walking up to Taehyung uncertainly. 

"Um Taehyung, what are you doing?" He asked as the metal bot rolled back from Taehyung. You were finally able to get a clear picture of the thing. It was an inch shorter than you and had the body structure of a human, except the legs were combined and had one big wheel instead of two feet. It's arms were the same but the hand was a grabbing clutch thing that you yourself were confused about. It's 'skin' was a light silver, almost white and it had no pupils, just two big black doe eyes. It was all silver and had random inscriptions on it's bare silver stomach. From prior experience, it felt like metal as well.

"Greetings." The thing spoke as you, as all three of you screamed, falling on your butts. You scooted closer to the boys as the bot looked down at you three, no particular emotion present on its face. "I am known as Tera. You have activated me." It, or Tera said in a nonchalant robot voice as you raised an eyebrow, becoming a little bold finally. "Um why are you in the ship." Tera immediately locked eye contact with you and you involuntarily flinched. "The creator of this ship has built me to guard the royal occupants who board. You all are the royal ones I presume so I shall blindly protect you all." Tera said and bowed awkwardly, its wheels rotating to allow it to bow. 

You, Yoongi and Taehyung shared awkward glances as Tera looked you each over, probably memorizing the faces in its database. "So, may I know your royal titles?" Tera questioned as you brightened, always wanting to be a royal. You had grown up with jealousy to the rich, so this was like a chance you'd never gotten; even if it was just a robot respecting you. "I am Queen Luciel." Next to you Yoongi snorted and you elbowed him. "I am Prince Taehyung." Taehyung grinned and neither you or Yoongi could object because he truly was a prince. 

Yoongi was next and cleared his throat, thinking of something. Meanwhile, you evilly grinned. "And this is Yoongi, my assistant." You said as Tera nodded, digesting the information. Yoongi froze as Taehyung erupted in laughter, falling onto the floor and almost hitting his head on a chair. Yoongi slowly turned to you with a furious expression as you yelped and hit behind Tera, smiling at the confused bot, "He has anger issues." You said as the bot nodded, memorizing Yoongi as the assistant. "Well then, please tell me when my assistance is needed, I will always be ready to help." Tera said as it went and sat in the corner near the hatch, turning off. 

The room was dead silent as you all digested what had just happened. "Okay then." Yoongi said, compromising to killing you after all the legends were found and he could go back home. "I guess we have a cool protector robot now." Taehyung exclaimed as you groaned, "And yet another object to protect me." You said, not sure what to consider Tera as. You slumped back in your chair as Yoongi laid his hand on your shoulders, gently massaging them as Taehyung laid his hand in your lap. "Remember, don't worry! The flowers that bloom late are usually the prettiest." He said as you smiled, a story called Mulan coming to mind. It was an old folktale on your planet.

"You're fine the way you are, don't try and force the powers to appear because then it will only take longer." Yoongi squeezed your shoulders once more and smiled down on you as you blushed from the attention from both men. The men released you and went to their seats as you edged forward and went to the destination settings, pressing the right button this time. You wondered what things could happen if you slipped up again. You reached the tab for Atlair and relaxed, Yoongi and Taehyung leaning forward to see what the screen said. 

"We're only an hour away, wahoo!" Taehyung jumped around in glee as you went to the pictures, your favorite part. The planet of Atlair was silver, a color that went well with your gold hair. It had noticeable blue dashes in it and two moons, one blue and one white. You cooed in awe and then scrolled down on the panel to find an Atlairians figure standing. Both females and males had silver hair and cold blue eyes. They were beautiful people to look at for sure. Their language was called Atlain as well. 

The Atlairians were humble and peaceful people, helpful and always smiling. They weren't as part like as the Capellians, nor were they as serious and dead as the Eridanians, but they were calm and passionate, ready to sacrifice to help others. You smiled at their gentle nature and closed the tab, seeing that there was no more information. "They seem nice." You said as Yoongi nodded. "Okay guys, lets just sleep until we land, Tera, please wake us up after we land." You yawned as the bot made a clicking sound. 

The three of you fell into a deep sleep for the last house, resting for the anticipated journey ahead. You were sleeping still when there was a cold claw on you, shaking you fast. With a small scream, you once again fell to the ground, rubbing your sore butt and wondering when your fat would get lucky. Taehyung had woken to your scream and was now looking out the window at your landing spot. Yoongi was last, and of course still fast asleep. You then got up and looked out with Taehyung, seeing the barren land. You'd landed in what seemed to be next to a cave, the large structure covering your ship. You were confused on how the creator of the craft could do this, but brushed it off and continued looking. The land was flat and all silver, the sky above a beautiful baby blue with the two moons on either side.

"Let's go." You breathed, opening the hatch. Taehyung ran out, looking excited as you turned to get Yoongi. Instead, you were met with Tera holding a sleeping Yoongi bridal style. As you watched dumbfounded, the bot wheeled past you out the craft like this was normal. You only got out of the shock and took a spare empty bag Taehyung had brought, stuffing the book in and running out as the craft closed the hatch and created its distinct 'click' noise. You turned and saw Tera drop Yoongi to the hard floor, the man releasing a yelp and waking with a start as Taehyung was busy rolling on the floor with his bag behind Tera.

"What was that for?" He snarled at the bot as it wheeled to Taehyung and lifted him with a hand, placing him the right side up. "You are simply the assistant, plus you did not wake to my excessive shaking so I took these measures." At the word 'assistant', Yoongi sent you a glare as you whistled and awkwardly walked past him to Taehyung. "We'll find a mainstream place and then Yoongi can scan for the legend." You nervously stated as the rest nodded.

Well, at least Yoongi was holding back on skinning you alive. That was an improvement. 

You then paused and looked at Tera, scratching the back of your head, "Um how are we going to take Tera with us? She doesn't exactly look.  .  .normal?" "Idea! Let's get one of us to have her hold our waists, then we can wrap a blanket around the waist and make it look like they're wearing a skirt!" You all paused at the idea and then wondered: who'd be the scapegoat? 

And that was how Yoongi was currently two inches taller than usual, Tera holding his from below as he 'wore' a skirt. Taehyung had magically styled his hair into to pigtails and now, he looked like a girl almost. Although it took too much screaming and holding down, it worked out. Currently, you and Taehyung were standing either side and you stifled your laughs, faces red from prior laughing, Yoongi wearing a glare at every Atlairian that looked his way. 

You and Taehyung were wearing masks, hairs stuffed in caps as Taehyung was a man and you well, were acting as a man due to your visuals. "Okay remember, Taehyung's new name is Teahoong, I am Sir Seal and Yoongi is.  .  .Yoonji." You took a pause to suppress the laughter as Taehyung nodded, doing the same. "Who the hell is going to believe those names goddamnit." He muttered as you grinned, feeling a little happier. "Yoongi scan." You hummed as he muttered some more curse words, complying to your orders. Before he could complete it however, there was a loud blast from the market stall next to you, the Atlarians, screaming and running, helping each other up in the chaos.

"Okay what the fuck." Yoongi screamed as he tried to get up, Tera holding him down. You immediately ran into the debris to find what the commotion was, Taehyung running after you. You coughed a little and then paused, coughing as your eyes burned from the dust. You finally made your way to the other side, pausing to see what was going on. Your eyes widened when you saw a girl with the standard silver hair and cold blue eyes, holding a long sword that was dripping blood. 

She was standing on top of a man with similar attributes, cared as hell as he was screaming, blood pouring out of a wound in his stomach. You winced at the sight and moved forward towards the duo, "Hey what's going on here?" The girl's eyes pierced into your's and you'd be lying if you didn't cry on the inside a little. The man looked at you with hope in his eyes, tears streaming from his eye sockets.

"P-Please help me! This psycho is going to kill me!" He cried as the girl impaled the man in the same place with the sword, eliciting another blood curling scream from him. "Shut up, you know well that you deserve it. Tell me where he his and I'll leave you in peace." The girl calmly said as you stood in shock, unaware of what to do.

"Who's 'he'?" You asked, eyes glued onto the sword as you wondered why you weren't helping the man. It was like a gut feeling almost. The girl snarled at the man, clenching the handle of the sword as she looked away. "This bitch and his gang kidnapped my brother." The man under her, looking at you with teary eyes, pleading for help. 

"Did you really kidnap him?" You edged forward towards the girl as you held your hands up, showing that you were no harm. The girl froze, but her eyes stayed on you. "N-No it was my group! I was just a witness, I have nothing to do with this I swear!" The man groaned in pain as you bit your lip. You'd have to help the man. 

"Look woman-" "Chaeyoung" "Right, look Chaeyoung, if you kill him now, we can never find out where your brother is, so how bought we don't impale him to death?" You reasoned as the woman gave you a long stare, your mouth making an attempt as smiling as the blood reached your feet. She finally gave out a sigh and stepped off the man, taking the sword out and throwing it to the side. The man let out a sob of pain and held his wounds, making the scene all the more gorier. 

"Okay why the fuck do I always miss out on the action?" Yoongi seemed bummed as he, well Tera wheeled him forward, the skirt tied tightly to his waist. Chaeyoung gave him a long stare before returning to your face, "Names." You stood for a minute, before realizing that she was asking for your name. "Oh right, I'm Sir Seal, that's Teahoong and that's Yoonji." You said with a blank face as Chaeyoung raised an eyebrow, studying your clothing. You heard Yoongi sigh and ignored it by smiling.

"You're all a weird lot. Why do you all cover your hair and wear glasses?" You awkwardly scratched the back of your head and chuckled, "We don't like the dust in our eyes and um, we are all bald." You heard Taehyung snort and then act normal as Chaeyoung just stood there. "Whatever, since you have associated yourself with me, either help me find my brother, or die." You found it funny that Taehyung and Yoongi could easily kill Chaeyoung if they felt like it. 

"Sure." You shrugged, ignoring the burning glare you could feel from Yoongi. "First step, is helping that dude." Taehyung said as he moved forward, helping the bleeding man out. You ended up bandaging him as Yoongi didn't move, not wanting to risk bending over. Taehyung calmed him down and fed him as Chaeyoung stood watch to make sure no one would come. You wondered why she was so paranoid.

"We should move first." She said more to herself as she one handedly picked the man up and slung her over her shoulder. Your jaw dropped at how strong she seemed as you three, or four technically followed her footsteps. 

"Nice house?" Yoongi tried as the girl led you into a small hut, brick keeping it from falling. Chaeyoung did nothing to acknowledge the boy's attempt and instead let the man out on her floor, standing over him menacingly. "Talk. I want to know everything." She said haughtily. You sat next to him with a frown as he nodded, "I joined a gang two years ago due to debt, we've killed and done some crimes.  .  ." The man looked ashamed of himself as you felt pity for him.

"Then a few days ago, the boss started to look for this boy, showing us pictures of him and saying whichever one of us to find him would get the job of his assistant. I didn't want the job and so just stayed low, watching the others kill innocent people and each other over it." The man clenched his hand and you knew that he was getting to the worst part. Chaeyoung looked downcast and the others were interested in the story.

"I was with three of the members when they found the same boy from the photo, forgot him name though. He put up a chase but they got him and took him. That's when you came, and saw me since I didn't want to go with the lot. I'm telling you I don't know anything else." The man was in tears as Chaeyoung bit her lip, thinking. 

"Where do you think they took the boy?" Taehyung asked from his spot on the floor, serious and quiet as he thought about the situation, "And do you know why they took him?" Yoongi added as the man thought harder, "He might be back at our head quarters.  .  .I wouldn't know." He sobbed, shivers raking his body. You patted his back and smiled at him.

"Take us to your head quarters then. Otherwise you die." Chaeyoung pointed her sword at the man, who froze and began sweating again, looking at you for help. "Chaeyoung." You calmly said as she sighed and put the sword away, rolling her eyes, "As long as I get my brother back, you get to live." She coldly said, sitting on her couch and massaging her forehead. You got up and sat next to Chaeyoung as Yoongi and Taehyung, hauled the man to another corner and began whispering to him in hushed voice. 

"So you can use a sword eh?" You tried to communicate with the tensed girl as she only sent you a weird glance. "Yeah. Our father.  .  .he was a martial artist so he taught me how to use all weapons. My brother was never interested in the martial arts and now look where that landed him." Chaeyoung said as a idea sprouted in your head. An idea that could benefit both sides, by relieving her stress and decreasing your insecurities.

"How about we go get your brother tomorrow? I think gangster man over there needs some time to open up and betray his gang and meanwhile we can prepare." You said, trying not to use your evil laugh. Chaeyoung seemed to process your words and nodded, seeing your point of view. "Until then, I have a small request." You said as Chaeyoung gave you a look.

"I don't you'd be able to handle that one." Chaeyoung as you pointed to an axe. You were currently in her basement, Taehyung keeping of the man named Haru as Yoongi and hidden Tera watched you silently from the stairs. You frowned and put the weapon back, admiring the other stacks of weapons. 

It had taken you begging and pleading but finally the girl had agreed, taking you down and letting you pick out a weapon. You'd finally gotten her to agree to teach you to yield a weapon. While Yoongi wearily looked at the other choices, various emotions flying into his face, you couldn't hold your excitement as you jumped from stack to stack, holding and testing each piece of equipment to measure the weight and how it felt in your hands. You'd gone through swords, axes, guns, spears, and so many more, none of them matching your taste according to Chaeyoung.

You were just happy that you were given a chance at it. 

You continued strolling through, eyes specifically stopping on one weapon that glimmered in the small lighting. You heard Chaeyoung call out for you, but ignored it and walked towards the item, picking it up and weighing it in your hands. It wasn't too heavy or too light and you liked the way your hand wrapped around it. It was a beautiful black with silver stripes on the bottom, rather new in your eyes.

"Hey, what're you-" Chaeyoung froze as you turned around, holding the item. You realized that you were probably not supposed to touch it and placed it down, muttering an apology. By now, Yoongi was near you, looking at the weapon you were just admiring as Chaeyoung picked it up, amazed. "This is just right for you." She whispered, so quiet that you wouldn't have heard it if you didn't pay close attention. 

"W-What?" You asked, bewildered as Chaeyoung smirked at you, placing the metal object in your hands. "It's like this was made for you." She remarked as Yoongi bent over to take a look, making no comment. You smiled down, feeling excited to finally be able to learn and defend yourself, not needing the boys to fuss over you anymore.

"Come, I'll show you how to use them." She said as you gestured for you to follow, which you quickly did, practically skipping in joy behind her. "Calm down, you might even be able to fully learn how to use them in your stay here." Yoongi said, as you glared at him while frowning. "Thanks for the encouragement." You sarcastically said as he looked away, wincing. You guessed that Tera had done something and smiled when he wasn't looking.

You were still curious about what your guardian robot could do as well. 

"What are these even called?" You asked as you spun the item around, flinching when it hit you in turn. Chaeyoung didn't turn around fully and only glanced back at you before turning back to the front, "Nunchucks." She finally said. You made a sound of acknowledgement as you reached a clear part of the basement, Chaeyoung facing you and eyeing the weapon.

"We need to get you stronger first. You're skinny but not strong." She judged as you deflated to the floor, wondering why you never tried exercising. Being a street dweller gave you speed and street smarts, not strength. Yoongi snickered behind you as you shot him a glare. "Okay so what do I need to do?" You asked as she pondered on the thought, smirking next. "Run ten laps around this room fast awhile holding your nunchucks up in the air and then get back to me." She said as she casually sat down in the middle of the room, smirking down at her nails. 

Your mouth was left wide open as Yoongi went and stood by the door, smirking and watching you. You let out a small scream of frustration before beginning the task, holding the weapon high above your head and running around the large room, counting in your mind and ignoring the way Yoongi made fun of you. Screw him. 

You were panting and sweating by now, drops of liquid running pitifully down your forehead. You were sure that you had been running for at least ten minutes by now. "Cha-Chaeyoung! Am I-I not do-done yet?" You panted. The girl looked up and gave you a weird face, "Seal. Child, you're on your second lap." She pointed out as you fell to the floor, sweating and groaning. Yoongi chuckled and then held it in when Chaeyoung gave him a look, silencing him. You looked up in despair to see Chaeyoung right above you, looking down at you with utter disappointment and disgust.

"Seal. If you think you're going to get anywhere with that attitude and stamina I can tell you right now that you are going to fail horribly. I trained for so many years and still have so much to perfect even at this point. You're just talk it seems, not anything real. Tomorrow, do not come to save my brother with me and your other two friends. I do not need weaklings coming along." She spat at you, your eyes widening in shock at how rude she was being to you.

Then, without saying anything else, she walked out the door, barking at Yoongi. "Come, we need to plan." However, Yoongi was looking at you in concern, wondering if you were fine. You sent him a fake smile, waving your hand dismissively, "It's fine Yoongs, go with her. It's important anyways." You said, looking downcast. Yoongi was about to approach you when you stopped him with a hand signal. Not knowing what to do, Yoongi walked out the door, sparing one last glance at you. 

You clenched your fist, smacking it onto the cement ground and suppressing the scream of pain that built of inside of you. You would tolerate the pain and the humility. The one thing that made you work harder than anyone was shame and humiliation, and you'd just gotten a life worth supply of that. You got up, ignoring the ache in your legs and picked up the nunchucks, running around the track faster than before, ignoring the blood that dripped from your ripped fist. You'd become stronger, help or no help.

When you's finished those ten laps, sweat swarmed your face and dripped around you as you dropped the nunchucks by your side, beginning the exercise you remember doing in school as a child. Every child was sent to school not based on money or status, and you were grateful for that. You quickly did jumping jacks and strained to do push ups, but it was okay. You knew that you had limited time, but there was still time to improve. 

You were about to move to the weapon when you fell to the floor in your own pool of sweat, too tired to move. "No.  .  .I have to keep going." You knew you shouldn't be pushing yourself this much on your first day, but the rage and frustration of not being able to say anything back to Chaeyoung was eating you. You agreed with her somewhere inside of you, you hated yourself and considered yourself a failure.

You couldn't protect your mother, couldn't find your father after he vanished, couldn't be a proper guide, couldn't unlock your own powers, and couldn't do anything. You always needed someone else behind you, prompting you on and helping you. 

You reached your pair of nunchucks but felt your vision deteriorate as you fell to the floor again, black enveloping your vision. You felt arms tug around you before you fell into a deep sleep, sore and too tired to even breathe properly.

When you woke, the world seemed like a maze, your vision disoriented. You wiped at your eyes and noticed that you weren't in the basement anymore. Your body was a little wet and your hair was moist but it wasn't from sweat, someone had bathed you while you were knocked out. You knew it was Chaeyoung, but you still didn't like the idea of someone seeing you like that. Especially her. 

You tried to move off the bed, but your legs gave up on you and you yelped at how sore your arms and legs were all around. "Yoonji? Teahoong?" You called, expecting your friends to open the door any moment now. However, you didn't even hear the sound of footsteps. Weird. You finally got up after multiple tries, gritting your teeth and walking out, peeking out the door as you made a make do pony tail on your growing metallic gold hair. Sometimes you wondered why your hair was always glowing so much more than the normal Orphians. You blamed it on your 'guide' genes and kept walking out, leaning on the walls.

You called out for your friends a few more times, but still got no response. You then called out for Haru and Chaeyoung as well, expecting the Atlairians to reply to your calls. You stopped at the door and opened it, peeking it out to see the world. The sky was a darker shade of blue than what it was before when you landed and met Chaeyoung. A gear in your brain turned and you became hot with anger when you realized what has happened and why they weren't at home.

Taehyung and Yoongi had abandoned you. They'd left with Chaeyoung and Haru to save her brother. They didn't even think of waking you up or informing you. After all you were weak anyways. You didn't expect anything better from Chaeyoung or Haru, but seeing Taehyung and Yoongi do the same sent a little shock and betrayal through you.

You turned on your heel and headed for the basement, aware of your next moves. No one got away from a pissed Luciel, no one.
