The Gifted - NCT Fanfiction

Chapter 56

Lucas had offered to cure my wounds, as he somehow discovered that I had cut my leg the previous night, but I declined his offer, I wasn't sure of how I was feeling towards him, and I was not going to trouble my mind with that at the moment.

I had heard that the blue team had captured successfully the Aphrodite's flag, just like Jungwoo had mentioned, it wasn't strange that they were already going for their flag, it was the least secure and I was just hoping that our team was able to capture Hebe's flag, it would get us in the lead again, because as off now, we are tied.

A scream was heard outside, it was high pitched and I couldn't bare it, I ran as fast as I could, being careful to not hurt my leg, to the place that the sound came from.

And then I found out what it was.

Babies, almost a ten of them, all being carried by other demigods.

I face palmed.

"Shit" I cursed in a low voice, looking of how the cries of one of them made the others follow and it was a loud, almost deafening sound.

I approached one of the demigods, a son of Athena, Tanner, who had two baby boys on his hands, and another one who looked a little more grown on his side grabbing his pants.

"I can help you with that" he nodded, he looked overwhelmed and stressed about the whole situation, he passed me one of the little boys and thanked me as he passed me the second toddler, as he made his way inside the tent to call someone else to help him with the other one.

I laughed.

He doesn't seem to be the one who interacts with kids.

The little boy who had pinkish hair was obvious to guess, it was Chenle, and may I say, that if he was adorable before, he was a squishy little ball now, which made him a thousand times cuter.

I scrunch my nose at his cuteness and he giggled.

The other little one made a sound and I looked at him squinting my eyes, trying to guess who the little boy was, and I really couldn't figure it out easily, as his hair was brown, the only one that went with those characteristics is...

"No way" I spoke his way.

He giggled and then grabbed my brown hair with his little hands and started chewing on it.

"Jungwoo?"

The little boy looked at me and pulled my hair.

Dear Zeus, what is going on?

[...]

"There is no reversing spell or something?" claimed Tanner, who was not happy to hear the cries of the babies.

"It will fade out in a couple of hours, maybe a day" I affirmed and he looked my way with his mouth open.

"A day?"

"Yes, this happened before" mentioned Sera, her brother was one of the affected ones, and she wasn't happy about it.

"And what now? What are we going to do about them?" Rita asked.

"Take them somewhere" added Jeno "but where?"

"The infirmary and The Big House are off-limits" mentioned Johnny "but I guess I could talk to Chiron, this is insane, we cannot keep children in here, there are weapons and dangerous things around."

"Exactly, first, we need to count them, who are they?"

"Sorin, Doyoung, Wendy, Lily, Chenle, Jungwoo, Cassidy, Alex, James, and Dina" read Rita from her notebook, I'm starting to think she very organized, I liked it, she has been proving she is indispensable on our team.
