Monster's Labyrinth ~ Hyunlix

>43<

(Burning Pile • Mother Mother)

Everyone looked at the woman in a mix of shock and fear. Even Chan looked terrified, but Seungmin most of all.

The woman had a pretty, slightly plump face and body structure. Her right hand was lifted into the air, holding the gun. Under her left arm were what looked like a pile of papers and documents.

The woman smiled venomously. "Thank you." She said as she lowered her arm and stored the gun in some type of belt. Nobody except the woman moved. They all held their breaths. Hyunjin moved closer to Felix.

"Welcome!" The woman yelled. For a very quick second Hyunjin thought this about Donna, who had the exact same tone to her voice whenever she talked. But that thought was quickly wiped away. This woman was different in every way.

Felix, however, knew exactly where he had seen this woman before. He was frozen into place, his mind connecting dots like lightning.

"Welcome, to the last stage of the Monster's Labyrinth Games!" She exclaimed, almost happily. The group threw her a disgusted look, but didn't speak a word. All only emitted silent disapproval.

"What?" Minho said. In a flash he turned towards Seungmin. "What did you do?" He asked in a venomous voice. Seungmin didn't react to Minho. He seemed to be petrified, unable to move.

The woman laughed. "Now, now." She said, slightly mockingly. "There's no need to become even more suspicious of each other than you already are, he knew nothing!" She laughed again, almost as if she was making fun of their unbeknown.

"Felix?" Hyunjin asked, noticing how Felix was somewhere else in his head. Felix frowned.

That woman... she looked so much alike to that woman... Felix thought. She has just gained a little weight, but it's her. It must be her.

She must be the woman on the photograph. The one I saw in the nursery. The woman behind Seungmin. Felix gasped inaudibly.

Than this must be-

Seungmin find Mally moved. He took a step back. He looked as if he didn't understand what he was seeing. Who he was seeing. "Mom?" Seungmin asked in a shaky voice. The whole group looked at him.
"Mom?" Changbin spat, as if he could taste the word, the disgusting meaning behind it.
Seungmin snapped out of his trance and looked around in a panic.

"Seungmin, come here." The woman said.
"No, no no no no no!" He said. "No, please listen, I can understand!" He turned towards the group. He put his hands up in defence, trying to show he was innocent. But the group wasn't capable of being reasonable at the moment.

The woman rolled her eyes. "Seungmin, honey, we talked about disobedience, didn't we?" She chuckled dangerously. The woman grabbed some type of remote from one of the pockets of her vest, with one big black button on it. She pressed it, but nothing happened.

The woman looked confused. She pressed it again, but again nothing happened. Her gaze focused on Chan now, who was holding a now shaking Jeongin. He pressed the younger man closer to him, and threw her a dangerous look.

She pressed it again, and then again, and then again like a madman. Her face turned into an ugly grimace. Only then did she look at the floor. At the blood and the three chips, and the black long worms that had finally stopped writhing.

"What did you do?" She asked in a dangerous voice. Her acid spewing eyes went back over to Seungmin, who had to take a step back. The whole group followed the conversation with confused faces.

"It's not his fault, miss." Chan spoke up. "I asked for help." He said, a satisfied grin forming on his face. Finally Jeongin was able to retrieve himself from Chan.
