~ BOOK 2 of Levels of Love ~

It walks through the crowd below with an easy, almost arrogant, stride, beanie pulled low over its forehead. But not low enough to hide its piercing, cold eyes. I don't know why but my breathing sudd...

"Stop", I say more forcefully, "I am your princess and you will stop."
Meli doesn't even pause, drawing one of the biggest guns I've ever seen. I stumble back a few steps, dragging Hanbin with me by the elbow. We were defiantly not permitted to bring that to Earth.
"Where the hell did you get that?" I hiss and can feel myself tremble a little.
What Meli is aiming at us all is the Fae equivalent of something like a bazooka, except way more compact and juiced up on magic. I've only ever seen one once and that was when our tutor kind of motioned towards it while talking about things we can never touch.
"Did you steal that from the Royal Armory?"
"Move out of the way, CeCe. We both know our goal is to kill the Daemon Prince, I just wanted to make sure it really happened. That's all. I promise when we get home I'll take all the blame."
I scoff incredulously, "Oh, how gallant of you. I'm not moving and you're not shooting. Aren't you listening? We need to talk about this."
"NO!" Meli suddenly screams, "You're not listening! They've messed with your mind and are now keeping you like some sort of pet. Wake up! These are monsters and they're going to die, as per our mission!"
Chanwoo suddenly leaps out of nowhere and freezes in front of Meli, foreheads practically touching.
"NO!" I scream and jump towards him only to have Hanbin wrap his arms around my waist and stop me. "Let me go!" I thrash around in a desperate attempt to break free, "She'll kill him. Chanwoo!"
"Stop fighting and look", Hanbin grunts as he tries to keep hold of me.
"He's an Elite, CeCe", Junhoe's calm voice filters into my spinning mind easily and I turn to look at him.
"What?" I stop fighting, "An Elite?" I look at the tall Daemon, taking into his full lips and still sleep-closed eyes as he stands close beside me.
"He has extra strong powers. It's not just you Fae who have some 'special' ones like yourself. Why else do you think we were chosen to protect the Prince?"
I blink at him, "You have more powers?"
"We're practically unbeatable separately, in a group there's no chance."
"Hang on", I can't even pretend to understand this strange news, "I'm not following."
"It's not so difficulty if you just forget what you were told about us", Bobby huffs from the back somewhere.
"Guys?" Donghyuk suddenly pipes up, "Maybe you should hold off on the Biology lesson until Chanwoo's done. He has to concentrate."
"Or how about not?" Hanbin surprises everyone by snapping, "Just tell the story, Junhoe."
"Uhh", Junhoe shuffles his feet slightly before continuing, "I can't really remember what I was saying but because we're half Daemons the monster genetics you know are mixed with human abilities and it's all sort of enhanced."
"You're super half Daemons?" I repeat back to him for verification and he nods.
"Immortal too?"
"Not immortal, more...unkillable."
"What about Hanbin?" I crane my neck to try and look at him, "You can't be a half Daemon."
"I'm not", he says stiffly, "I'm just of royal blood so I'm stronger."
"But you're killable?"
"Yes. But you already knew that."

"Right", taking a moment to regroup I ponder all of this. "So, if I'm as smart as my tutor has led me to believe, Hanbin is a full Daemon, royal blood making him strong. The rest of you are half Daemons, the human blood making you stronger. You guys can't die, he can. You live in a giant manor with no fence or security system for protection. That right?"
"Pretty much", Junhoe says solemnly.
To be completely honest, the whole thing sounds like a total load.
"Then why were you worried about Meli showing up?"
"We didn't want her to take us by surprise", Hanbin's tone has returned to normal. "She could have really hurt us, or we could have hurt her."
Right.
"So what going on there?" I motion towards Chanwoo and Meli.
"He's in her mind. They'll fight for a bit then hopefully he'll shut her down and we'll get her back to the hotel room. She'll wake up tomorrow thinking it was all a dream."
"Shut her down?" I squeak.
"It's just a light coma", Junhoe says mildly.
"There's no such thing as a light coma!"
"Calm down, Princess", Bobby's face appears next to mine over Hanbin's shoulder, "We're saving your reputation here."
"Let me go", I start to kick again, struggling to break free, "I'm so done with you witty Daemons and your nonstop comebacks, bullshit stories, sexy bed hair and questionable niceness. You know just what to say, right?"
"You can't interrupt Chanwoo", Hanbin says and turns to carry me somewhere before freezing. "Wait, how did you know it was Chanwoo?"
"What?" I ask as my mind goes blank, did I give myself away already? I mean, despite the over worrying about the Daemons wellbeing and all.
"Chanwoo", Hanbin repeats, "You yelled out his name but he's never met you. Not in this life."
"I don't know what you mean", I say shortly, still hanging from his arms, "Just put me down and let Meli go."
Hanbin starts to walk again, "No", he says simply before calling back to the rest of the group, "Someone keep an eye on the maknae."
"What about you?" Bobby calls and it irritates me how easily I recongise his sarcastic voice. "Won't you need protecting?"
Hanbin doesn't bother to reply so I call back for him, "You're on my first to die list at the moment 'Bobby'. Keep it up!"
