VIXX'S VOODOO DOLL

Chapter 38

"Guess what Ravi said we should do?!" Hyuk shouts.

May listens to him from the confinement of her room. It was three weeks after the party, her jaw was healed and her arm was sore, but out of the cast. She didn't come out of her room for anything. Hongbin was the only one allowed in her room; she hadn't forgiven any of the others for being drunk when she needed them. When he came in, he just sat with her, not saying a word.

"A VIXX Diary!" Ravi finishes.

She bolts for the door when she hears a fast pounding on the steps, to lock it before anyone got into her room. But she barely made it to the door before it swings open, banging her in the head. She falls back on the floor, rubbing her head. Ken looked temporarily mortified; he helps her up.

"May, are you okay?" He asks in a small voice.

She nods. She hadn't said anything since Hongbin had taken her to the hospital, hadn't even seen Ken. He hadn't lost anymore weight, he looked healthy. She was grateful for that.

"You heard what Ravi and Hyuk suggested, right?" He asks. She nods again. He rubs the nape of his neck, "Well, N said it was your call."

She flinches at the sound of his name.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken looks at May with pity. When Hongbin informed them thay she wasnt doing well, he had been lying. She is worse than not well. Her already skinny body had lost even more weight. There is a dullness in her eyes and hollowness in her cheeks. She is so pale, dark circles looked like bruises under her eyes. He can hear her heart beating fast, she is afraid. He had heard what Hyuk had told N, the boy had been wrong.

She had been an angel, maybe without wings, but still with the spirit. When he first saw her, there seemed to be an iriplaceable spark in her eyes, a fire within her soul. Now, when he looks in her eyes, the spark gone. N had managed to finally break her, and he didn't do it alone. He had no doubt that he and the others had something to do with it, like they were all drunk while she was being attacked. His heart broke for the girl he had grown to love like a sister.

"So, you up for it?" He asks nervously.

He didn't expect her to say yes. In all honesty, he didn't want her to agree. If he thought his heart was broken, her current state would destroy his leader and brother. N was already feeling guilty, he might kill himself if he saw his mate like this.

To his dismay, she nods slightly, chewing on her bottom lip. She looks like she wants to say something, but also not ready to open up again. He sees her swallow hard and opens her mouth.

"I--," her voice is rusty, quiet, and cracks on the single syllable. She coughs, then shakes her head, telling her she couldn't speak.

"It's okay, don't talk. If you want, I'll just say you have a sore throat and are preserving your voice for the new album."

"A--" she swallows, "G-g-get Le-o."

He rushes out and bursts into Leo's room. Leo is lying on his bed with headphones in, bobbing his head to the music. Ken pops out one of them and Leo's eyes snap open and he sits up faster than even Ken can see.

"What do you want?" Leo snarls. He doesn't like being disturbed, ever.

"May agreed to come out of her room, but she can barely speak. She asked for you... probably so you can relay her thoughts," Ken's words come out in a jumble. Leo's eyes widen and he stands.

"Lead the way."

He runs back to May's room, only to find that she's not there. Ken panics; where could she have gone. He turns to Leo, he's gone as well.
