"Baby Piper, can you go back at my office? I think i forgot the keys of our house." Mom said as we step out of the elevator.

"But mom, It's already dark there and your office was located exactly at the last floor!" I protested but Mom just giggled at me.

"Baby, please, just this once." She said and i rolled my eyes before turning around and waiting for the elevator to slide open.

"Mommy, I don't want to go. I'm tired." I said again and she just crossed her arms on her chest.

"Okay, you're grounded for one week—" She said but the elevator open and i quickly step on it, forcing a smile.

"No mommy, look! I'm going! Bye!" I quickly said and the elevator closed in front of me.

"I hate you, Mommy." I muttered and pouted my lips while waiting for the elevator to stop at the last floor. I was supposed to be staying in our house, reading my schedules and preparing my things for my classes tomorrow. Mom just transfered me... again.

It's not because I'm a bully, hard-headed and a delinquent. Those words aren't included in my vocabulary. It's just that they blame me to cover their sins. They used me. I'm just an ordinary student, i didn't do anything wrong against them but they really want to drag me down, drag me deeper until i can't climb back at the top. So, i decided to transfer again and i hope i can graduate there without any injuries.

Geez. I really hate it when I'm inside of an elevator alone. It feels like the four corners are tightening and it's kinda  suffocating me. As the elevator opens, I stepnout and went to my mom's office, quickly typing the passcode. I entered and look around for our house keys.

I let out a sigh after looking around and quickly bring out my phone and called my mom.

"Baby Piper, you got the keys?" She asked in a sweet voice.

"Not yet Mom. I can't find it here." I answered as i search again.

"Look under my table or under my swivel chair. Maybe I just dropped it." She said and i crouched down, seeing the keys laying on the ground.

"Okay mom! I saw it! See you later! Bye!" I said and ended the call before grasping the keys on my hands. I made my way out and walked through the dimly lighted pathway.

While waiting for the elevator to arrive, i hear some voices. Faded voices from the stairway which leads to the rooftop. My eyebrows furrowed and my feet instantly walk nearer to where the voices are. All workers and employees of this company are already out by eight in the evening and if ever an employee will have an overtime-- i guess he won't choose to answer a call or do his work in the rooftop right?

The guards should walk around the building every hour to see if any employees are still on their office-- no, guards won't stay at the rooftop just to make a talk. That's weird. As i came in front of the door, i placed my ear on the door and listen to the voices.

"How do you posses your main powers, hyungs?" A voice said and questions fills my mind. Powers?

"It's depends on the situation. If I need to seduce someone, i'll just stare at that persons eyes." Another replied and i gulp down. Who are they?

"Me, I can manipulate or even control  others body and mind. As long as they are under my spell. I can do whatever I want." Another one said and i silently gasped. Spell? Do they really have those?

"I can make a person feel pain and die in a second. I can make cuts, bruises and even large wounds and injuries without directly touching that person." A raspy voice said and i shiver from his answer.
