- MARTIN LUTHER KING♛

Jeon science lab - 2005 - ( belongs to the former masters of the Afrendarium - Jeon Alice & Jeon Marco )

5 years old Jeon Jungkook, son of Jeon Alice and Jeon Marco, stood quietly behind the big metal door that leads to his parent's lab. The coldness of night time send tiny goosebumps all over his fair skin.

Holding his teddy bear in his hands tightly, the child doesn't know how to ask his parents for a kiss goodnight. In fact, he doesn't even know how to approach them. Instead, he stood in the shadow of the giant door, observing them quietly. He brushed some of his strawberry blonde curls behind his face to get a clearer view.

They're always so busy. Always in the lab.

Never really have any time for him. 

He wonders why.

" We have to protect the Daedra Spirits, we can't give it to the Chaos Gang! " shouted his mother, which startled Jungkook, he took a step back, wondering whether he should interrupt or not. His huge dark eyes shining in the darkness, reflecting the conflict and fear behind them.

" I know, I know, Alice. We're given the mission to protect it, there's no way I'd let it land in the hands of our enemy." Marco said, trying to calm Alice down, soothing her with his hands on her back.

" If, if the Chaos Gang gets the Daedra Spirits, not just us but the entire magic world will be doomed. " Alice raised her voice a little, sounding exhausted - but alarmed at the same time, dark circles under her eyes, her cheeks sink in at two sides of her face, her hair messy and tangled.

" Alice ... "

The sound of the alarm cut Marco off. He jumped back, while taking the bottle which contains the Daedra Spirit, magic particles of great fear and wonders swirls and dances within the thick glass bottle. His dark brows knitted tightly together in confusion; his face wore a tight and startled expression.

" It couldn't be ... "

" The enemy... " Alice's eyes widened, her mouth dropped open as if the most unbelievable thing happened.

" But how did they find us ? How are they able to do that ? Our lab is hidden deeply behind barriers of the forest and... " Alice whispered, almost too quiet to be heard. She spun around just in time as her husband grabbed her wrist, started pulling her towards the exit door in rush.

" We have to get Jungkook! "

They pushed the door fully open, revealing their frightened and shocked son.

" We have to go now honey; we have to go NOW. " the panic in Alice's voice unmistakeable, scaring the child but he quietly obeyed.

She held Jungkook in her arms and ran straight ahead in despair, the last thing she wants is her only son getting hurt.

She can sense the chaos magic nearby. She can FEEL it. The overcrowding amount of chaos energy shook her to her very core and she struggled to stay calm, her brain unable to cope and keep up with the current situation.

" Alice . " came Marco's desperate voice. He stopped her, she looked back at him with a confused expression. Marco handed her the bottle of Daedra Spirit, the thing they both swore to protect and keep hidden.

" Alice, take this. They're too near, we can't all run away. We don't know how many of them there are, that is the reason why I can't go. I'll stay here and hold them off a bit, you run. Get to the safest place as soon as possible, protect the Spirit, and ... " He trailed off, the sob stuck tight in his chest and tears swelled up in his dark eyes.
