FROSTBURN || Min Yoongi

Chapter 2

"Get up! We're here."

I woke up with the impact of being thrown onto the hard, concrete floor , after getting dragged out of the van. My knees hit the ground making the chains around me clank.

"Activate the collar." 

I saw some men approaching me with a metal collar. I trashed around, trying to get away but it seamed useless. The man grabbed me by the hair and looked at me in the eyes.

"Feisty one aren't you?" 

I kept my glare on him.

"What does the collar do?" One of the guards who brought me here asked.

Suddenly, a man wearing a white lab coat appeared from behind the guards and took steady steps towards us.

"Nice to meet you gentleman. I'm dr. Choi. The collar is used to inactivate her powers so we can run tests on her without anyone getting hurt." The man with the white coat said.

"Now, put it on her please." 

The man that was holding my hair let go, making me feel relief for a short time. He placed the collar around me and immediately, the small red light turned green with a soft click.

"There, now we can unlock her hands."

I hissed as the guard unlocked my hands. I looked down to see my burned flesh, glistening with blood and blisters. 

"What is the meaning of this? Are you giving us a damaged good?" Dr. Choi asked.

I felt my anger burning as I heard he term 'damaged good' but I stayed put. I tried to frost the inside of my palm but my powers were not working. I guess the collar really did it's job.

"She's a naughty one who needed a proper punishment." The guard who brought me here answered making dr. Choi nod his head. 

"Alright then, I'll be leaving. Good luck with her. Oh and by the way, her weakness is fire." The guard left, getting inside the van. 

I looked at the men in front of me.

"Get the lab ready, time to test our little toy."

...

"So let's see here. Name, Lee Aera, age, 21. An orphan I see, that's good, no one will come looking for her."

I scoffed as the men in the lab talked as if I wasn't even there.

"and powers?"

"Ice manipulation. I haven't seen that one before, amazing." 

"She's a code 5 tho, be careful."

Ah, the codes. How I hated them so fucking much. There was this code system that they grouped us based on our threat levels. 1 meant harmless, 2 meant slightly harmful, 3 was harmful and 4 meant very harmful. Then there was 5... Danger.

One of the men grabbed my arm harshly, showing my palm to the others.

"What do we do about this?"

"Get the subject with the healer ability. That should make our job easier."

The healer?

Soon, a petite girl was pushed inside roughly. She had white skin and cute pink, full lips that matched her long baby pink hair that reached her waist. 

"Heal her. Be done by the time we're back."

The girl nodded her head without saying anything.

"Can I?" she asked for permission before touching me. I mean, she was a healer right? she was supposed to heal me so there couldn't be any harm in that. I nodded my head at her and she gently grabbed my hand.

A gasp left her as soon as she saw my hands.

"Oh my god... and they call us monsters..."

She was right. Even though we had special abilities, we were kids once. There were still kids being experimented on. How humanly was that?

"It's fine, can you just continue," I didn't want to sound rude so after a little pause, I added "please."

The girl smiled at me warmly. I wasn't used to being around people much so her smile made me freeze. At my old facility, they kept me locked up because I was code 5, so I never had a proper interaction with others.

She held both hands on top of mine and golden light stared glowing in her palms. I saw the blisters slowly disappearing and the redness vanish.

"I'm Yuri by the way, a healer. And you are..?"

I hesitated to give her my name at first but she seemed like a kind girl and I felt like no harm would be done.

"Aera."

She smiled at me again. 

"You're all done. Feeling better?"

"Yeah.. thanks." I said quietly.

"Hey, it's a bit more tolerable here once you make friends." She said trying to brighten me up.

"I wont be making friends, I'll be locked up. I'm code 5."

She didn't seemed shocked or show any kind of fear.

"So?" She asked.

So? Was she normally this pure or just plain stupid?

"You're the second code 5 here." She said casually. 

What? I've never seen an other code 5 before. I was shocked and she probably could tell by my face expression. 

"Who is the other one?" I asked.

"Some grumpy ass jerk,"  she chuckled. 

Then continued,

 "My brother."
