3 Ways

Namjoo or Mom?

"Go with the flow and everything will work out," Chorong muttered underneath her breath as they trduged through the overgrowing grass two hours after the sun had gone down. "Then why is she wearing that?"

Chorong wasn't feeling the best. She hadn't wanted this, really, not after she remembered how she'd found Victoria almost dead. This was dangerous and she was not with her sisters in fighting with Lee Shin Il so openly like this. They should have had Officer Park come with them.

Every single molecule of her body was screaming no, but her sisters weren't listening to her. They couldn't go on playing safe, they said. Lee Shin Il wouldn't come out for them, so they'd go to him...in a place where he had power over his territory! As if that was any safer!

She knew Victoria was going to take any chance that came her way, but Chorong's mind was suddenly making last minute decisions to pull out. Victoria's plan was to freeze and she electrocute, but she wasn't so sure about it.

Chorong felt a sick wave of death fly through her when she glanced at Namjoo who was dressed in a rain coat and rain boots. She knew she was just being careful since water was a weakness and her powers weren't too stable at the moment. Chorong thought they should have at least waited until Namjoo was stronger, but it wasn't like a relapse after losing someone could disappear so easily. And thus they were where they were.

Nothing was right. None of this was right.

"Ok," Victoria heaved a breath coming to a stop. "I saw him here last."

Chorong glanced around and saw the deep river ahead of her. It suddenly looked like a big black hole, dangerous and deep.

"So where the hell is he?" Namjoo asked looking around.

An eerie silence penetrated the air and Chorong thought she could hear her own heartbeat ringing in her ears. This was not good.

The silence seemed to creep on her like a shadow she couldn't see. It was waiting, watching, and preparing to jump out at her when she let her guard down. It felt like a terrifying monster preying on her emotions and it was nothing, but horrible.

Chorong gulped and slowly glanced out of the corners of her eyes before she thought she saw something move. When she turned around a tidal wave was towering over Namjoo from behind.

"Namjoo!" she shrieked and watched Namjoo turn around shocked, and the second it came raining down on her an invisible shield appeared right in front of her. A tiny gold glow shimmered between her and the wave as it splashed against the shield.

Namjoo's lips fell apart dumbfounded and Chorong quickly ran toward her when the wave dispersed against the ground.

"Are you ok?"

"Oh yea...I think so..." Namjoo seemed dazed and surprised.

"Quit playing around and show yourself, bastard," Victoria called out.

Chorong felt another jolt of shock swerve through her unexpectedly when a figure appeared out of nowhere beside her. Immediately taking a step aside with hands still on Namjoo's arms she knew she was seeing Lee Shin Il for the first time.

He didn't look very vicious, but looks were always deceiving.

"About time, I waited long enough," he half mumbled before waving his fingers forward, "come out boys."

Out of the middle of nowhere half naked soldiers with armors strapped around their bodies stepped out of an invisible barrier none of them could see. Their faces looked fierce in comparison to Lee Shin Il's. The sizes of their bodies were an obvious difference. Every one of them was well built with bulging arms and legs three times the size of the girls.
