3 Ways

A Little bit of Normal Time

>_____<;;

They'd cleared the woods hand in hand, both their hearts racing in a flurry. Chorong's scream had suddenly died out and Victoria felt a fear flush through her. It was a kind of fear she'd felt when Namjoo was in the hospital.

A large gust of wind rushed at them when the trees disappeared behind them and they reached another clearing of land. In front of them was a monster of a size she'd never dreamed of seeing before. Victoria felt her jaws drop and heard Namjoo gasp from beside her before she saw the monster hold its hand up. Namjoo belted out a cry when they saw a body hanging off the hook of its large claw.

"No!!" Victoria screamed dashing forward.

The King slightly budged upon her attacks and annoyed he turned around with his eyes a deep shade of red. A growl echoed in the air and Victoria smelled its horrible breath, but couldn't turn away. She saw Chorong's head hanging back, her arms and legs dangling in midair. It stung her heart like never before and Victoria felt all, but rage surge through her.

"Chorong!" Victoria threw out her hands to attack it with her powers, but only watched it slightly budge and cry out irritated.

"Victoria!" Namjoo screamed when it lashed its hand out.

She felt Namjoo throw her down and when she regained her senses saw Namjoo flying to the ground. A cry heaved through Victoria's chest. She wasn't about to lose her sister. She couldn't lose Chorong now after almost losing Namjoo. It just couldn't happen!

"Let her go!" Victoria cried out angrily and agonizingly. "How dare you take my sister, you monster! Let her go, dammit!"

Victoria screamed and shrieked so loud that a bird finally flew off into the sky. On the third try when she threw out her hands again she watched the King blow up. Black particles flurried into the air and blue substances flew in the distance of the crest hill before Chorong's body landed into the water. Victoria, though, was unable to react to it.

Her eyes widened and her mind struck with shock and surprise. By her side she listened as Namjoo raced into the water crying for Chorong before she finally caught her senses.

"No...Chorong, open your eyes. Open your eyes," Namjoo cried hoisting Chorong's head up from the water. "Chorong..."

Jumping into the creek never minding how soaked she might get she also grabbed Chorong.

"Chorong, Chorong," Victoria called struggling to pull her sister onto dry land. "Wake up. Please wake up."

Tears lit her eyes and she ran a hand over her sister's face drenched in marsh water as she lay there on the grass. This couldn't be happening. This had to be a dream.

"No...Chorong, don't go..." Victoria sobbed grabbing her sister's hand and pressing it to her face for warmth. "Please wake up."

Namjoo felt a sob fall out of her lips before she saw the blood soaking the ground by her knee. Her mind stilled for a minute upon the shock. Tears stood on the edges of her eyes before her crying calmed and she ran her hand over her sister's arm. A glow immediately lit up from her hands before the deep scratches slowly disappeared and her ripped shirt magically repaired itself.

A hopeful gasp dropped from her lips and she ran her hands over her sister's body before Chorong suddenly took in a deep gasp as she came back to life and sat up. Her deep breaths quicekened before her hands landed on the ground.

"Ch...Chorong?" Namjoo stammered appalled by what she'd just done, but Chorong hadn't heard her. She was, instead, searching dramatically around before suddenly crawling forward.
