Cured

Ch. 26

All I could see was blue, and my entire body was numb. Somehow, I managed to turn my head to the side, only to see Suho looking right back at me, his veins and eyes glowing blue, but the intensity of the light was startling, is was almost blinding. I quickly looked at myself, and I was the same, my veins and eyes glowing the same bright color. "Suho?" I asked when I noticed everyone else around us was unmoving.

When I didn't receive a reply, I looked back at Suho, and I realized why. Beneath him was a pool of blood, and his skin was abnormally pale. "Suho?" I asked, panicking, and moved to sit beside him, placing two fingers on his neck, checking to see if he had a pulse. Nothing.

Tears in my eyes, I looked around, finding Tao about twenty feet away, a look of shock on his face as he shielded his eyes from the bright blue light that shined from Suho and I. I took his hand, trying to pull him out of the timeless state that his brothers were in, but nothing happened, he wouldn't come out of it. "Tao?" I asked, my voice wavering.

"No one can hear you, this is all in your mind." Daehyun's voice sounded, and I spun around to see him standing beside Suho's body, looking down at him. "Considering you're glowing blue, you two are linked, yes?" He asked, but I just glared at him as he spoke. "I guess that link is broken now..."

"If this was my mind, you wouldn't be here." I growled, and he gave me a smile.

"On the contrary, I have similar abilities to many of your friends. Take the young Luhan for example." He began, gesturing to Luhan who stood across the room, a silent scream on his lips. "He could appear in your dreams, meaning he was in your mind while you were unconscious. I'm doing the same thing now."

"Why? Couldn't you be out there, fighting the guys like you came here to do? Why waste your time in my head?" I asked him, my body heating up and I grew more and more angry with every word.

"I didn't come here to fight Damon's children just yet. I came for you, your memories specifically." He explained, taking a step towards me, then another, slowly growing closer.

"My memories?" I asked, confused.

"I was surprised when Suho blocked my attack only moments ago, but his love for you proved to be beneficial for me. That was his weakness, and I believe you are the key to many of Damon's son's weakness." Daehyun smiled, coming even closer. I tried to step back, but my body wouldn't move. "Why don't you make this easy on both of us and not struggle." He grinned, placing his hands on the sides of my head, and his eyes flashed pink. My vision cut to black before I could see anything else.

"Mommy's having a baby?" I asked, looking up at my parents wide eyed as I glanced at my mom's expanded belly.

My dad nodded. "Yup. You're going to be a big sister soon."

"I thought mommy ate a watermelon seed and it grew in her tummy..." I admitted, and my mom laughed.

"You silly, watermelons don't grow inside of you if you eat the seeds." She smiled.

"It's the baby a girl?" I asked, returning back to the fact my mom was having a baby.

"Do you want it to be a girl?" My father asked, sounding a little concerned.

"I just want the baby to be cute." I replied, still looking at my mom's belly. "Why's the baby in your tummy? How'd it get in there?"

My parents laughed, my dad picking me up to sit on the couch between him and my mom. "That's just how things were meant to be. Baby's grow in their mommy's tummys. You were in your mommy's tummy before you were born."
