Devils and Angels (Book 2 of Cycle of Life)

Chapter 13: I thought our powers were fake... (Chanyeol and Tao)

Chanyeol: I didn't understand why Kai wanted to call Chen and dig up the fake Chen's body. We already had proved that he was fake. "Kai... What did you want to prove?" D.O had asked the question for me. Sehun frowned in frustration and turned to look on his right though no one was there. He seemed to be seeing and hearing something we couldn't. "Alright... Guys... If the body can't prove of his existence, then this will." Suddenly as if there was magic, Chen's body stood up. The body was limping side to side like an invisible force was lifting him up. Suho was the first person to walk over and try to touch the body. Before he could, the body fell right on him and for the first time, he shrieked. Sehun and Kai started laughing really hard until D.O glared at them and growled, forcing them to stop quickly. Suho was still in shock so D.O took over as leader, "Ok... What can that prove?" "D.O... It's extraordinary for a dead body to stand up like that..." I commented. Kai nodded quickly in agreement. "What... Who's there??" Suho suddenly blurted. We all turned to him, he looked as if he just saw a ghost. Suho's eyes were blank and staring at nothing. "I'll just say it on the spot... Chen's behind D.O." Sehun said. D.O spun around quickly and turned back, "There's no one there." I guess Kyungsoo doesn't believe in angels... Chanyeol... Do you believe in angels? I almost screamed in surprise as I spun around to see who said something. D.O looked at me with curious eyes. Kai groan and shook D.O hard, "Come on hyung! If we can believe in angels, you have can too!" Sehun was looking at me, "Hyung... You too... Close your eyes, imagine that an angel is right in front of you guys." I shut my eyes... I let my mind go blank. I felt calm again... I set Baekhyun's condition aside and put nothing in its place. When I opened my eyes again, there he was...

I smiled when Chanyeol was finally able to see me. Now the only person here left was D.O. I scratched my head to think of a plan to solve this. I looked over and found a knife on the table and picked it up. Everyone paused and widened their eyes. D.O started walking over to the knife and was about to touch it. I grabbed his arm and looked at him in the eyes. He stood there, he still wasn't able to see me but could feel my radiance. I slowly pulled him close to me and gave him a hug, "D.O... Please open your heart, it's ok that you can't hear or see me, as long as you know I'm here... I'm happy enough." I looked into his eyes again and I saw tears in his eyes, "C...he..n.... I can see and hear you." He touched my face to wipe tears off my eyes. I hugged him tighter and sobbed until I could stop. The rest of the members gathered over and joined the group hug.

After the reunion, we started discussing plans on taking down the fake. Since the fake couldn't see me, it was easy for me to get around him and free Xiumin and Lay hyung while with the others to distract him. "Before we get any farther, we have to know that there are traps set around the area, we must be very careful." I pointed out. "How do we avoid the traps?" Suho hyung asked. I smirked at that question, "We use our mama powers." "Chen... You should know that those are fake." Sehun shook his head. I turned to him with a sarcastic look, "Seriously... If you can see me, then that means there's such things as out of the ordinary." "How are we gonna use our 'mama powers' if we don't even have them?" Chanyeol said with a straight face. I gave them an evil smile, "You will see."

Tao: I walked around the gucci store to look for a jacket. The mall was crowded with people, who were on a shopping spree since there was discounts on a lot of items. I finally settled on a dark gray jacket with buttons instead of zippers, stripes like a zebras and a mini belt on the waist line and headed over to the register to pay. I left the store and headed for the hotel. The streets were peaceful, the city was silent. I hummed one of my songs, T.A.O as I strolled down streets. Suddenly, I saw a flash to my left and turned to see what it was. My mouth dropped open as I was shocked to see what I saw. It was Exo. "Kai, don't drop us at Antartica again!" Chanyeol screamed in anger at him. "It's my FIRST TIME, YOU CANT EXPECT ME TO GET IT RIGHT!" Kai yelled back. "Please don't make us do another teleportation travel again... I'm gonna get dizzy." Suho moaned. "Um... Guys... Tao's staring at us..." Sehun pointed at me. "H...ow..." I managed to say. Hello... Huang Zitao... I looked at different directions to see who was there but no one. I'm going to process you... I'm going to eat your soul... I screamed and ran towards Suho, "G...H... GHOST!!" I hid behind Suho before he could react. "Chen, stop horsing around, will you?" He sighed. Suho hyung! This is my opportunity to troll him! It's fun sometimes you know! "C...hen... Gege?" I looked up. I saw no one nearby but could hear him. "Tao... You believe in ghosts... You have to believe that there are angels as well." Suho said quietly. "Angels?" I repeated. "Yes... Chen is right in front of you, I know you can see him if you try to believe. You can do it!" I kept blinking, each time I did, something started reassembling into view. Chen gege stood there pouting, "About time you could see me!" I hesitated for a bit, but finally ran to him and hugged. He hugged back tightly, "I miss you but no time for reunions, let me borrow your phone."

I took Tao's phone and dialed Kris' number. I told him to meet up with some of the members at the entrance of the forest. We are gonna split up into two teams with the same mission: save the members and destroy that the fake me.
