"What's the second?" Jin sighed. "I've always been told that I'm the last direct child left. Then this girl where was she brought up. Because I know almost every activity and properties of ours. Where was this girl brought up then?" Alesha answered. "They must've brought her up in the camp and told her the same thing they told you" Namjoon suggested.

"That's a possibility but, there wasn't another person looking like me in the camp" she wondered out loud. "Probably another branch of the camp" Namjoon added and a silence took over. "You're a-" she paused to look at him. "Genius" she completed. "IQ 148" Taehyung quipped teasingly. "Shadow camp" Jungkook mumbled.

"How do you even know about that?" she turned to him. "Ghost. I helped him locate the place but, it turned out to be the shadow camp" He turned to the members to explain, "The shadow camp is like the camp but a worse version. "

"There's a worse version?" Hobi shuddered. "Rich families they adopt children or use the children who aren't heirs like the second-born so that they don't interfere with the heirs path in becoming the heir. They are trained into multi-tasking as assassins, spies, guards and turned into useful candidates for the family that sent them there. It's disgusting honestly" he ended.

"I love this coffee and the fact that both you and your ghost are alive after knowing so much" she sipped a bit more earning herself looks with the calm demeanor. "It's next to impossible for an outsider to know so much about both camps and still be alive. They're all rich and influential families, if this leaks out they'd all be dead meat. They're a bit too alert. Intruders end up dead." she explained.

"We are. But, one of Ghost's subordinate isn't"Jungkook bit his lower lip. "He must be happy that his sacrifice didn't go vain" she soothed his shoulder. "It still feels..bad. Guilty" He frowned. "I can clear the ones that did it. Kill them. Do you want that?" she offered and all the horrified members immediately declined the offer.

"Your friend. I need more details. See a Talisman can improve relationships between people. Like make them extra close, lovers, best friends etc or maybe have the opposite reaction depends on what the Talisman is about. What was yours about?" she switched the topic at their visibly uncomfortable expressions. 

"You know how to write Korean right?" Namjoon asked and she nodded. "Yeah so, Lenoy wrote the Talisman and we found it under the basin of Taehyung's basin. When we read it, it had mistakes as if it was written by a person not fluent in Korean, homophones getting mixed up. He's  wanted to probably curse us with something regarding flesh but ended up mixing it with age at first and in the second line he ended the sentence with not bad instead of not good. So, the meaning of the Talisman overturned and the cursing Talisman was instead used in bringing to us the person of our destiny? I'm not sure but, that's pretty much all I can remember" he elaborated.

"Before you ask anything can I ask how Lenoy has a name. Doesn't everybody have a code?" Taehyung interrupted. "Lenoy was extra famous after getting out and the only one whose identity leaked inside the camp. How did she appear?" 

"She fell to the floor out of nowhere while Taehyung was bathing. That's also another reason why we strongly believe in the Talisman theory so much" Jin answered. "That was scary honestly but, now that I think back it's a funny memory" Taehyung chuckled away.

"The house. Can we see it?" she continued. "Well, it was a murder scene so it was locked off and then abandoned" Taehyung said scanning Jimin's expressions as he gave the small clenched fist a light squeeze. "So we can see it now. The place she dropped in. We need to see it. I have a theory but we need to check it" she said excitedly. "Are you sure?" Yoongi avoided meeting her line of sight.

"Pretty much. Why?" she turned to look him square in the eye. "The place. It doesn't hold good memories anymore. That's where she...." Yoongi trailed off.
