When there were you and I ~ a 707/Luciel/Saeyoung x MC story

Chapter 10 - Unravelling

Something was up. It felt like years of deception was afoot. He needed to speak to V. Why did he confirmed that Sarah had died in an accident? Did V not know? He put her back into the bed. The tears'd stopped. She looked troubled. Did she always sleep like she was having a bad dream? She groaned a little. He'd make a quick call to V and then come back to her. He was never leaving her side again. Ever.

The door opened just as he'd stood up.
"Luciel how is she? Jumin filled me in...Is she hurt?", V came in. He had a cane. And sunglasses.
"She seems to be doing alright. She's been through a lot. But we need to talk.", Seven replied. She stirred a little. Her palm was back by her mouth. Seven watched as she tried to quiet herself. She must've got that habit growing up. "Wake her up.. She .. shouldn't be going through it alone.." V said , softly. Seven didn't need to be told twice. He tried to pull her hand away from her mouth, but she was strong. He whispered to her ,"Hey it's a dream. Just a dream. It can't hurt you. It won't hurt you. Wake up!" He managed to pull her hand away with a quick pull, but then she woke up with a scream. "NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! DON'T...." there was a look of absolute terror on her face, her eyes wide open, and then she immediately clamped down her mouth with her free hand, her eyes darting around the room, searching for someone, and then it softened. Her eyes kept darting across the room, in panic. "He was here..." She whimpered softly. Seven said, "Sssh hey hey look at me.. Look at me. It's just me. There's no one else here. No one who will hurt you is here in this room." Her lips were trembling and she bit down on them hard. Her eyes were starting to relax. Her face turned to stone immediately. No, don't. Be afraid, its ok. Don't hold back from me, his mind urged her. But she ripped her eyes away from him. She was still holding his hand rather tightly. It must be hurting, it was all bandaged. But she didn't let go. He turned to face V.

"V, this is Vini.. Formerly Sandra.. And before that.. She was Sarah. .. Sarah Jeen. " He felt her jump a bit and her gaze burning into him. "She supposedly died in a fire in my old neighborhood. But here she is, alive and well. I ... I knew her.. as a child." Her grip on his hand softened. He held her hand firmly, half expecting her to let it go, but she didn't. "You're V?" She asked, after a while. "Yes, that's me. I am so sorry that all this happened. We'll figure out a way to keep you safe and sound. That's what is most important now. You need to recover and then ..." V left the ending. Seven had never seen V look like this. He was always the sensible one. Yet here he was, running his hands through his hair, looking tired, looking like he was confused. Like he was lost. Like he didn't know what to do. "Did Rika ever have pale blue hair, like you do?" Sarah asked suddenly. V looked surprised at that question. Seven looked back at her. Her eyes were closed, but her mind was working fast. Putting things together. The cogs were turning inside her head. "10 years ago, she did, didn't she?", she pushed on. 10 years, when he was 12, that was when he'd met V and Rika at the church. When he'd been saved by them. She did have a bit of blue in her hair. She'd said that she wanted to be as much like V as possible, and then she went back to her natural blond again. He remembered because she was troubled back then and had been at a hospital for a while. V cleared his voice, and said " Yes she did.. How did you know her?" Sarah took her hands out of Seven's quicker than he expected and crossed her arms in front of her,sitting up straight, eyes stern right at V.
