It was dark. Jennie's body was stiff, unmoving in terror from the cold shadow that surrounded her, mocked her. She couldn't move. And each fearful breath delighted the darkness. It whispered to her ways of how it will make her suffer and beg and she tried screaming but the fear she had refused to let her utter a single sound.

Then, there in front of her stood Ares. His smile, wide and evil as he held the dagger in his hands. And, to her horror, he held a bloody, beating heart in his other. His smile was wicked.

"I told you I would rip your heart out, didn't I, my dear?"

Suddenly and slowly, Jennie looked down only to breathe even heavier than before. A huge, dark gaping hole in her chest where her heart should have been.

"Jennie, wake up."

Jennie shot up, screaming and frantically moving around the bed. Her heart was beating even worse than before. So fast, so loud. She couldn't breathe.

"It's okay Jen!" Familiar arms held her tightly. "I'm here," she heard her brother reassure calmly.

And, with the soothing sound of her brother's voice, Jennie relaxed. Still, tears formed in her eyes and she couldn't stop them from falling. She went to press her face into his chest, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself staring at her own reflection from his armor.

She gasped once more and pushed him off. Jennie crawled backwards and brought her knees to her chest.

"I-It wasn't a dream."

Wonho slowly stood up, moving slowly and cautiously, sad to gaze into the fear in Jennie's eyes.

"It's okay, you're safe."

Jennie shook in fear, eyes frantically looking around. Her eyes searched for Ares.

"What's happening Wonho? Why are we here? I want to go home!" She begged, more tears falling. Wonho sighed and carefully sat himself on the chair beside the bed. He stared into her tearful gaze with such regret and worry. His eyes were no longer glowing that golden color.

"You are home."

She whimpered and shook her head, "No. I want to go home, Wonho. Right now."

"You can't Jennie. Not anymore. He knows where you live on earth. We can't have him find you."

"I don't understand," Jennie whispered, "Help me understand. What's happening Wonho?" She desperately begged for answers. Wonho stared into the fear in her eyes with a pained expression. So, he sighed,

"I think it is better if we show you," he said. Just then, the door of the room opened and when she glanced over, relief washed over her,

"Jisoo!"

Jisoo's eyes teared up as she rushed towards Jennie. She jumped on the bed and held her tightly,

"I'm so glad you're awake," Jisoo whispered before pulling away. Jennie smiled with tears forming in her own eyes but then she stared at Jisoo in confusion,

"What are you wearing?"

Half of Jisoo's dark hair was up with loose strands of her bangs hanging loosely and freely on both sides of her face. The rest of her hair flowed down her shoulders like a smooth waterfall. She wore a white dress with sleeves that ended just above her elbows. In the middle, her dress held together with golden buttons and Jennie was in awe.

Jisoo looked like an angel.

Jisoo rolled her eyes,

"I don't want to talk about it."
