Devils and Angels (Book 2 of Cycle of Life)

Chapter 8- What... is going on... (Xiumin Baekhyun)

                                              

I stared at the fake as he packed up his stuff. He had put his bag of dangerous whatever in the suitcase. A chill went up to my spine... I know for sure that something bad was going to happen... I followed Baekhyun, Xiumin and the Devil out the door. It was my job to protect them... I know that I have to find a way to... But how?

Baekhyun: We walked down the road for bus station to head to airport. Chen was humming Sing for you while Xiumin stayed quiet and kept waking. "Hey guys... Let's play a game." I said. Chen turned around in excitement, "Yes! I'm just about to get bored anyways." Xiumin hyung didn't say a word but nodded. Chen smiled in joy and ran ahead, "Let's play at the park! We still got half an hour anyways!" I chuckled and ran after him with Xiumin hyung behind me. The park was quiet and peaceful with only birds chirping in the distance. I put my bags down and stood in front of them, "Hm... On second thought... The park is so peaceful, we should just take a walk." "Hey Chen, why do you have a small bag anyways?" Xiumin hyung asked. Chen laughed, "I didn't want to bring so much stuff so I only bought this." I went over to open the bag, "What you have in there?" Chen moved back, "Baekhyun hyung ah! It's privacy!" I grabbed the bag, "Chen ah! Let me see!" Chen grabbed it too and we pulled until something fell out of the bag. A bottle cracked and a weird smell brewed. I felt my eyelids grow heavy and collapsed onto the floor. What is... going on...?

Xiumin: I watched as Baekhyun fell and stepped back. "B...a..ekhyun... Chen... What was in that bottle?" Chen looked scared at first but then shifted his glare at me, "He... Ruined my plan... He shall pay for what he did!" He took out a knife and stabbed him. I stood in shock as I watched in horror. However... There was no blood on the floor... Baekhyun was still there with no stab wound. Chen stopped and tried again and again but no luck. He finally gave in and glared at me, "You... You are witness, I will destroy you too!" Before I could run, I saw Baekhyun wince and lounged at Chen's legs, "Run, Xiumin hyung! This isn't Chen!" I watched as Chen kicked him aside and sat on him, he took out another weird bottle and started to force Baekhyun to drink it. I screamed and tried to run towards them to stop them, something held me back no matter how hard I tried. Baekhyun laid on the floor, unconscious as Chen stood up. I broke free of the invisible force and ran towards him only to be shot... I was hit by a bullet to the shoulder. As I fell unconscious, I heard someone familiar scream and yell my name... C..hen...

I screamed as Xiumin hyung fell on the floor. The devil put the gun in his pocket and walked over to Baekhyun hyung. I dashed over to him and pushed Baekhyun to the side before he lifted his knife at him. I kicked him on the stomach as hard as I could. He barely felt it but still winced a little. "Who is there?? Why do I feel pai in the stomach??" I wanted to kick him again when I felt the stab wounds creep into my body. I protected Baekhyun from getting stabbed with my own body. It wouldn't kill me but it hurts a lot. I staggered back towards Baekhyun to protect him. The fake growled, "If he can't die, I'll just take the other away and torture him until he disappears from this world." "Nooooooooo!" I screamed as he went over and carried Xiumin hyung away. I staggered after him but realized that Baekhyun needed help too. What should I do?? WHAT SHOULD I DO!! I heard Baekhyun winced again and dashed towards him, "Baekhyun... Baekhyun hyung!" I dragged him to the street, hoping for someone to notice him. I flew as fast as I could after Xiumin hyung and the fake.
