Book 2 : BTS 👀, Skz🥰, Ateez✨

Hybrid 15.7: Alcona

"How are you?" My sister looked at me. It had been a five-minute walk.

"I don't remember anything of Anatolia, Laura." She knew I didn't. It felt overwhelming to see acceptance in my mates' eyes just because of Anatolia. It wasn't something small. I had been mistreated; I still was carrying marks from those days. I sighed.

"But some of them had gotten closer to you even before Anatolia was mentioned." She looked at me "Aren't you happy?"

Happiness had taken a whole other turn in the last few weeks. Mates. Anatolia. Acceptance. Reject. Everything had evolved in a little amount of time. Happiness suddenly seemed like a very fickle term to describe the feeling I had for something as small as Jimin hugging and cuddling with me. Utter joy was more appropriate. But.

Humans always have something to complain about.

I didn't like the fact that our relationship would change because of me being in Anatolia. I closed my eyes trying to remember what happened there. I was only 10 years old. And for the first time, the image of a man smiling cunningly at me appeared in my head. A feeling of fear no terror filled me.

"Melody?" Laura approached. And I heard the steps. Those steps.

Melody screamed her lungs out as she fell on the ground, trembling like crazy. Laura took several steps back surprised. Her scream had alerted her mates. Yoongi and Hoseok ran towards her.

"She started screaming all of a sudden." Laura whispered astonished "Like she was terrorized of something."

"I think she tried to recall what happened in Anatolia." Seokjin clenched his fist, also joining the two other males. "If only one flash of memory puts her in this state, it is logical that the memories were selectively shut off." Seokjin approached, but Melody scrambled away. Dragging her body away, but her legs weren't moving.

"Melody, you'll hurt yourself." Seokjin sighed.

"Don't-Don't touch me." She whispered; her cheeks wet with tears. "Please, stop. Stop. Stop." Repeating the words like a mantra. Seokjin clenched his fists. This scene made him think of Jungkook about ten years ago. The boy at the time had been heavily traumatized by what happened.

"She needs to calm down, or her heart rate will get to high." Yoongi gritted.

Suddenly, a huge black rabbit appeared and jumped in front of Melody. She first screamed a little, before her scream died down slowly. The rabbit approached her, and she remained quiet. As if zoned out, calming down drastically.

"You came again?" She whispered before fainting.

"Again?" Yoongi asked Jungkook who had shifted just in time to hold her. He remained silent and lifted her up.

"I think it is time for us to go back home." Jungkook held Melody close to him "We'll take her to the hospital to confirm there is nothing wrong with her."

"We hope that you will take of her this time around." Her father sighed.

Two hours later, Melody had woken up. However, Cha had forbidden her mates to meet her for now. Most of them had gone back home. Jimin and Hoseok were the only one who stayed.

"Cha, spit it out." Hoseok looked at the doctor who grimaced.

"She...she is like a child." Cha finally admitted "I think it is psychological trauma."

"Like a child?" Jimin frowned.

"As if she was ten years old." The doctor nods. "She doesn't remember anything. Hybrids. University. Mates." He finishes. "I don't know when it is going to end. Of if she is going back to normal."
