C401 - Time to fly- Part 1 

Lisa felt Jungkook holding her close to him in his arms, "Are you alright?" he asked, pulling away to take a better look at her and she nodded. Jungkook's hand went to wipe the blood drops that had sprinkled on her face and dress, which had turned slightly dry on her skin.     

"How did you know?" she asked Jungkook, surprised and happy by his presence.     

"I sensed something going on with you," answered, Jungkook, "I think it's because of the invisible bond that we share now."     

"Invisible bond?" she furrowed her brows, not knowing what it was.     

"Yes," he replied, his eyes looking into the depth of her eyes to check that she was fine. He had felt her fear even though they weren't near each other, "An invisible bond is formed usually by the vampire-demons because the demons have some sort of magic running in them that allows them to create and share a bond with their partners. The bond is often created without knowledge. I don't know exactly when it happened, but for a while I have been able to know what you feel, and the emotion that runs in you."     

Lisa wondered when it happened, and as she wasn't a demon nor a vampire, the invisible bond didn't work the other way around. In the beginning, she had always been in the notion that Jungkook was able to read her mind. But she had come to learn it was something to do with his quick wit. And now the possible bond, that had formed unconsciously the very first time they had met.      

As Jungkook looked at Lisa with worried eyes, she placed her hand on his that had come to settle on the side of her face, "I am doing fine."     

He then looked around to see two people who were lying on the ground, "I sense something else in here."     

"Paschar," whispered Lisa, turning her gaze in the direction he had left. The angel hadn't stayed longer to chat and had disappeared before she could have uttered another word, "It was Reginald. He's Paschar."      

"What?" he asked, a frown appearing on his face, "He has been in the High House working under demons."      

"He said he joined the High House so that he could get information about me, when I would come to exist and when I would be hunted because I am a ticket to heaven," sighed Lisa. She wondered if it made a difference if she was or if she wasn't one because it looked like she would be hunted anyways because of the word spread about how she could be used as a sacrifice. "Heaven must be angry that Paschar broke the rules, which is why the fallen angels offered a-"     

"A bounty on your head," Jungkook completed her words. She pursed her lips because that is precisely what it was. "And people said angels were kind. No wonder they end up falling down to mortals. I don't think people met up with the actual version of who these angels are or the word 'kind' has a different meaning in their books. Why did he leave?"      

Lisa shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I am not sure," she whispered in thought. All this time, she believed that when she would meet Paschar, she would find answers and solutions to the problems that existed before she even took birth in this world. But it didn't. "He said he would try to clear the rumour, as well, as me being a sacrificial person for the fallen angels and the demons, so that I won't be a target."     

"That won't drop the idea of you still being the potential sacrifice right now ,that would lead the people having immense power," Jungkook clicked his tongue. He wondered who else was hiding behind their outer appearance, which he was yet to discover. Until now, no one had a single hint on Reginald that he was Paschar.
