The Gifted (A Blackpink Fanfic)

Chapter 13

"Y/n... pssst"

"Y/n, wake up!" Twenty-two-year-old Lisa shakes her younger sister up in a tone so urgent.

Sensing the urgency, fifteen-year-old y/n immediately sits upright despite her groggy state. "Why? What's going on?"

"It's Jisoo unnie! She's caught by a bear trap in the forest. We need to help her!"

"What is Jisoo unnie doing in the forest in the middle of the night?"

"There's no time to explain, come on!" Lisa grabs her wrist and drags her outside of the palace and into the forest.

The forest is silent and rather eerie. The only sound that could be heard is the scrunching of the dried leaves and twigs beneath her bare feet. The night is cold and the thin fabric of their nightgown wasn't helping at all. She shivers.

Yet, y/n didn't care.

Saving her sister from the trouble that she got herself into is much more important right now than herself.

Walking further into the forest, she follows Lisa like a lost puppy. Y/n knew the forest no better than a foreign man; for she was prohibited to leave the palace grounds at all costs, unlike her older sisters.

"You are the future queen, y/n. The forest is not safe" Her father would often tell her every time she would ask permission to go with her sisters. In envy, she can only watch them run happily towards the forest.

"Oof" y/n fell backwards as she bumps into Lisa, who have stopped in her tracks.

"We are near, Jisoo unnie is there behind that boulder. Free her from the traps while I fetch Jennie and Chaeyoung unnie" The older girl took off in a haste, leaving no room for her sister's reply.

Y/n watches her run with a sigh, before proceeding to the big boulder from the distance.

"Unnie?" She calls out.

"Unnie!" She dashes toward Jisoo, who was sitting behind the big rocks.

Y/n hugs her, allowing her powers to seep through her sister's skin and heal any wounds. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? I thought you got caught by a bear tra— oof"

But Jisoo pushes her off rather harshly, causing the latter to fall on her back and hit her head hard on the soil beneath. 

"I should've been the crown princess" She mutters, standing before her sister's cowering figure. In her hand holds a simple knife, which has been her toy for quite a while. She expertly twirls the blade around her fingers, showing to her frightened little sister how she has been playing with it.

Y/n remains silent, genuinely scared.

"But you just have to be the gifted one who is more fitting to be queen" Jisoo looks at the knife, staring at her own reflection to see the monster she has become. No turning back. 

"I-I never wanted the throne, un—"

"LIES!" Jisoo threw the knife out of rage, causing it to land upright beside y/n's head. 

The younger gulps as she stares at it with fear and dread. And with heavy breaths, she crawls back from it— from her sister, wishing for the moon and stars above to let her escape from this horrible nightmare. But... there was no moon nor stars, just the pitch-black sky that seems to be the nightmare itself. It was rumbling like a monster; about to pour its wrath on the earth.

Still crawling backwards, y/n's breath hitches as she felt a pair of legs behind her. She hesitantly looks up— great relief washing over her as she took in the sight of her older sisters; Lisa, Chaeyoung, and Jennie.
