The Monster Under The Bed

13. Bad Boy

Autumn looks fights her way through the nightclub.

"Jongin!" she calls over the loud music. She can't see him through the throng of people.

"Hey baby, are you here alone?" a strange person asks, putting a hand on her waist. She pushes him off and hurries away.

"Jongin, I am going to kill you," she grumbles, pushing her way through the crowd still searching for him.

"Excuse me," she asks the bartender, who looks up at her, "Have you seen a tall, handsome, slightly intimidating man with dark skin?"

"Was his name Kai?" the bartender replies, wiping off the counter.

"Yeah," she replies, remembering that was his alias. The bartender nods.

"He left with one of the regular guests almost two hours ago."

"Two hours ago?" she clarifies. The bartender nods again.

"What time is it?" she asks him.

"Seven in the morning," Her eyes widen. "Is something wrong miss?"

"He ditched me," she deadpans, "I am going to destroy him."

She whirls and stomps away and out of the nightclub.

Once she's alone, she envisions the house and tries to teleport back to it. But she can't focus enough to make the power work.

"Freaking..." she mumbles, and wanders down the street.

She doesn't know how long she walks, but the sun soon rises and she is utterly and totally lost.

Kyungsoo pushes Jongin off his bed.

"Ow!" Jongin grumbles, getting up off the floor.

"Did you do it?" Kyungsoo asks, Jongin nods.

"The new girl is upstairs," he answers, stretching.

"Is Autumn in the bathroom or something?" Kyungsoo asks. Jongin freezes in realization.

"Um..."

"Where is she?" Kyungsoo presses.

"I... Um... She might still be in the night club?"

Kyungsoo's owl eyes widen even more.

"YOU LEFT HER IN THE NIGHT CLUB?!" Kyungsoo shouts, Jongin winces and rubs the back of his neck.

"Maybe."

Kyungsoo hits Jongin upside the head, not hard enough to be painful, but enough to sting a bit.

"What time did you get back?" Kyungsoo asks.

"Around five?"

"She's been alone for two hours?!" Kyungsoo exclaims, his jaw dropping.

Jongin bites his bottom lip and nods meekly. Kyungsoo huffs and goes outside the room. Jongin can hear him shouting and telling Suho that the two of them were going out and they'd be back shortly.

Jonfin is already ready to teleport by the time Kyungsoo comes back in. Without a word, Jongin grabs him and teleports back into the city.

Chanyeol wakes up to the trapdoor above him opening. He looks up at his savior, who was wearing a face mask. The person grabs Chanyeol and pulls him out of the hole, tossing him on the ground. Chanyeol instinctively tries to run, but a few pieces of grass grow and wrap around his legs and arms.

Chanyeol starts to panic. This could not be happening. First, someone sneaks up on him and knocks him out, proceeding to lock up in a hole for at least two days. Now, a new stranger saved him but appeared to have powers and was holding him hostage.

Wait a second, I couldn't see them and this person has plant powers?

"Mr. Heechul?" He asks in fear. The man looks over, and takes off the face mask, revealing that he was who Chanyeol named.

"I was going to let you go free," Heechul sighs, "Now I can't."

Chanyeol.uses his powers to burst into flames, burning away the grass and runs while still burning. Weeds, tree branches, and grass all shoot out and trip him, but his flames burn them away. But, as he's running while on fire, he feels himself slowly getting weaker and weaker. Using his powers to such an extent was draining.

He spots the house in the distance just as his power goes out. He continues to struggle to keep going. He comes into the edge of the woods, about fifteen meters away from the house, and collapses. He starts to drag himself forward.

Autumn stomps to her room after she finally got her power to work and slams the door, waking up Zitao.

"Autumn, what's wrong?" he asks sleepily, his hair sticking up everywhere.

She takes a deep breath to calm herself before replying.

"Nothing Z, go back to sleep, it doesn't seem like anybody else is awake yet," she tells him, determined not to let out her anger in him. If she got ahold of Jongin however...

"Okay," he replies with a yawn, laying back down.

She goes over to the window and looks out. The forest was quite beautiful, the sun's rays making is seem silhouetted. It was completely still.

Until someone comes running out into the clearing. She presses her face to the window to get a better look. It was Chanyeol!

She runs down the stairs and out onto the porch to see him collapse. She starts to run to him, but she sees a tree branch reach out and snake around his waist. He cries out in fear and tries to desperately get it off, but to no avail.

Another figure walks out of the woods and swiftly clamps something onto Chanyeol's wrist. A power controlling cuff.

"Bad boy Chan Chan," the person says to him, causing Autumn to snap out of her stupor and run over to them.

She manages to brush the shoulder of the person who had put the cuff on Chanyeol. The person swiftly turns, surprised at the contact. He smirks at her and she feels grass wind itself around her, but she teleports out of it and into the house into her room. She begins to panic and nearly screams when she sees the grass creeping up the window. She uses Luhan's power to push it away and Chanyeol's power to burn it.

She runs out into the hall and screams when she sees a potted plant moving towards her. She panics and imagines somewhere far away. She's gone before Suho comes out of his room and sees the fallen potted plant. He sighs and picks it up, putting it back in its place.
