Cured

Ch. 39

Tao sat beside me at the dinning table, well, sort of. We had pulled two extra chairs up between us where Hari and Hyemi sat. Of course, no one else could see them, and just looked at us like we were crazy.

"Mom, look. I can actually touch the food." Hyemi said, smiling as she ate some mashed potatoes. "We can interact with more and more stuff."

"Maybe it's because you've been here for so long already. Normally it's only for a few minutes, but you've been here for a few hours already." I guessed, eating some potatoes myself.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun exchanged concerned glances as I, as far as they knew, talked to a floating fork.

Jimin, who was sitting across from me with Chanyeol and Baekhyun, just watched me, curious. "Who are they talking to?" He asked, but the two just shrugged.

Tao nodded at my responce, more comfortable with the idea that they were our daughters from nine months into the future. "Maybe the longer you stay here, the more you can interact with . Your uncle's might be able to see you then too." He added. When he first saw them in the bedroom, they were slightly transparent, but now they were completely solid.

"Uncles?" Chen asked from my right.

"That would be nice." Hari smiled. "We'd get to finally meet everyone."

"Finally?" Tao asked, glancing over at me. The girls and I didn't say anything, just looked down at our food quietly. "Khristi, about the visions you saw, are we even in that future?"

"N-Not really..." Hari replied instead, then turned to me. "Mommy, tell them about what happened next week on our timeline. They should know if you're going to try to prevent it."

"What happened-no, what's going to happen?" Tao asked, and I could feel the tears coming to my eyes. "Khristi, we need to know if we're going to do anything about it."

"Well, Daehyun attacked us, a-and I died." I began. "You all fought as hard as you could, but Daehyun won, he-he...he..." I clenched my teeth as the tears rolled down my cheeks.

All around the table, glances were exchanged, and faces paled. "Y-You're going to die in a week?" Luhan asked, and Jimin stood, clearly angry.

"Mommy." Hyemi said, and stood from where she sat, giving me a hug, Hari following shortly after.

"You know what's going to happen, so you can change it. You don't need to cry about it." Hari whispered to me as I cried.

"I should have said something sooner." I explained to them. "Had I know how it would turn out, I would have told them earlier."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jimin asked pacing the room. "Have you even tried to do anything to prevent this?"

"Well, I...yes, but I don't know if he'll actually come." I said in reply.

"He'll? Who is he?" Xiumin asked, growing worried, just as all the others were.

"Ravi. He said that he'd help fight Daehyun, we just have to block Caroline's connection to him and his friends." I examined.

"Wait." Suga began, everyone else falling silent at his interruption. "You said Ravi, right?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Do you know who she's talking about?" Namjoon asked the black haired vampire.

"Me." A new voice sounded, and I turned to see Ravi standing in the doorway of the dining room, his eyes glowing purple. He glanced at me with a smile. "Nice to see you again, Khristi." I gave him a nod, and he continued speaking. "Sorry for the intrusion, but we had to get somewhere where she couldn't reach us. You're surrounded by barriers, so her magic can't get in here."
