The Other Half

19

Hello my love! I just finished editing and adding a few parts since it has been here for like two months~~~ I hope this update can bring joy and excitement to you guys! Looking forward for our times together ahead. <3 Till we meet again ;*
*******************************************

Minzy and Kai arrived at a patches of grass growing in batch next to each other. It was quite easy to spot them as they released some toxin that shimmers around the flower bud. 

African star grass

"It looks like a cluster of stars from a far." Kai relieved they finally found the exquisite grass and now they just need to take them back. It took them 2 hours to reach at the end of the forest as this grasses are the 'fencing' type. 

"We are lucky that your forest is not like the Pandora or else Kris would be a goner." Kai collecting the sown grasses from Minzy hand and packed them into the shrubbers vessel where the plant entering it will be liquified, ready to be consumed as potion.

"Pandora? What is that place?" Minzy kept her blade in one of her shoes compartment. They begin to run making way to the mansion while keeping themselves close to each other. Neither her nor her members even heard about the Pandora. Furthermore, they still having problem in searching for their own identity and powers and staying excluded from others after all this time, really doesn't make them aware of everything outside their perimeter.

" You guys never heard of them? Well, i wouldn't be blaming you guys too because it is sort of dark area and most of the Pandora part were owned by unknown units. We encountered it thanks to my shrubber's ability. It helps me to discover every single place that have plants in it." They keep running for another 20 minutes and no sign of them wears off yet. 

I see. The others should be informed too.

For the next half an hour, they are still running but had to speed down a bit because their energy had drained quite a lot. Its going to take another 40 minutes before reaching the mansion so they concentrating on limiting their energy and directing them for running. They have to be able getting out from this forest as fast as they can.

Cl freezed while supporting Dara from collapsed on the ground. She was stunned, couldn't apprehend what she just told them.

"What do we do?!" Cl eventually gaping at the boys' face for inner strength. She was very lost to the situation that happen to Dara.

Baekhyun immediately instructed Chanyeol to carry her inside and following him along. Cl had to leave the matters on their hand because there is another mission waiting for her attention.

God! I ask for your help.

Baekhyun sensed something changed inside her system, he used his ability to scan the abnormal flow of a special person like them, thing that make them different from normal human is the flow of the energy inside ones body.

Baekhyun gave a worrying look to Chanyeol.

"Her system works like a normal person. She no longer possess her power!" Baekhyun do not have any clue how in the world is this happening. Most importantly how are they going to tell her leader because distrust might happen among them if words are put in wrong way. Chanyeol seems to be in deep thought, he slowly carressing top of her head with the back of his hand, wishing he can do something for her.

"Yaa, watch out where is your hand going. Are you crazy?! What will Cl say if she saw you?" Baekhyun stopping him from touching Dara.

"What? I'm just worried about her okay? As if you don't." This is the first time he reacted back when Baekhyun told him off.

"What do you mean? Just..just forget about that." He loses words,a pang of jealousy hit him.

Suddenly they heard rustles from the back door.

Lay and Chen barging into the house carrying both Minzy and Kai that was about to collapse from draining too much energy.

You got a job Byun Baekhyun.

Sehun also rushing down from upstairs because Kris condition starts to get worse. Lay signalled him not to be panic and aid Xiumin up there as the duo had finally returned. Sehun nodded and went back to Kris, all they have to do is waiting for Kai to treat him.

Baekhyun stand between Minzy and Kai which were put next to each other on the carpet. He transferred a few of energy bubbles to Kai until his body glows pale bluish color. He need to be energized immediately because he is the only one that can remove the black slime.

As soon as he regained his strength, he thanked Baekhyun before leaving to tend Kris. They were relieved everything is going to be fine. 

"I'm sorry but i think I had to let Minzy recover on her own because I'm worried Kai might need extra hand up there if the spells got complicated. Maybe we can move her on her bed or somewhere comfortable." Baekhyun also leaving to see Kris.

"Ok now we should get going too. Chen can you carry her upstairs? Follow my lead. And Chanyeol, please fill me whatsoever thing that happen to Dara. We'll talk after this." She climbed up the stairs, showing Chen their room. He landed Minzy gently on the bed. Meanwhile Chanyeol gulping his saliva, nervous on how to tell the news.

This place is particularly emanating a lot of aura around. And..it seems to circulate in one particular area.

Chen activating his luminous cat. Chanyeol looked at him, asking what is he doing.

Chen shushed them with his finger on his mouth. Cl and Chanyeol watched the cat roamed near Bom's bamboo slide. Suddenly, the cat gave out a fiery hiss before it is stabbed with an unknown object and bursted out in a purple faint smokes. Chen reacted as soon his luminous got stabbed, he yelped in pain because of his symbiotic relations with the luminous. Chanyeol without further a do, pulled him to hide behind a wardrobe while Cl jumped into a space behind the headboard of her bed.

Chen pressed on his abdomen area tightly as if an invisible blade had pierced his body.

"Stay strong! Do you know what was attacking your luminous?"

Chen shakes his head furiously as he couldn't prompt his luminous properly to see what's ahead.

Cl on the hand, was thinking on joining the others in the opposite room.

Just how many attacks they intended to do today. Damn it! If only Bom was here.

Cl throw a look to the duo, directed her eyes toward the door. They also nodded in agreement. As they flung their bodies rolling to escape, the culprit banged the door to knock them out. Another four of the comrades fallen including the knocked out Minzy.
