An Analogous Universe

Chapter 7

"WHERE DID YOU BRATS-"

"GO WITHOUT TELLING US?" Jin continued for Diena and then they both looked at each other which lasted for a second.

"Yes! He's right! Where were you guys?" she paused and looked at Celestia who was standing with the help of Namjoon. Her expression softened and she quickly went to Celestia and she furrowed her brows, mouth agape,

"H-ho-w, how?" she said stuttering,

"Where did you guys go?" Jin said sternly.

"Me-me and Celestia went to the current owner of that house you were talking about, a-and-" Aera paused, eyes now shifted to the heavily concerned Diena.

"There was a deathly monster, or maybe it was victocute. When we reached there, Celestia was currently fighting the victocute. Suddenly it's tentacles stabbed her in her left thigh which disabled her from being able to stand properly. And then I saw Aera glowing and Namjoon was already heading for Celestia but I held him which was pretty hard. If we saved them, Aera wouldn't be able to unlock her powers. Then when the monster stabbed Celestia on her shoulder, Aera went there to help her. That's what happened." Taehyung continued for her since she was probably scared of telling.

"What is a victocute?" Diena asked, tearing up.

"It is a monster that can teleport anywhere it's master says. Like if you tell it to go to Neptune, it can and will." Jin explained.

"Details?" Jin asked, looking at Taehyung.

"Trust me, you don't want to know. But the good thing is Celestia is healed, just a little ache." Taehyung said. Hearing those, Diena's eyes shifted somewhere else. She was trembling. She fell to her knees and whispered softly, "Sorry. This is all my fault. What kind of a-" she paused, warm tears now rolling down her cheeks. Jin quickly approached her and held her shoulders from the back as he tried to soothe her,

"Hey, this is not your fault. Besides, look at the positive point. Aera unlocked her powers and Celestia is also healed." Diena just shrugged his hands away from her shoulders. And said,

"You don't understand! I am their guardian! I am told to guide them." Suddenly she paused, scrunching her eyebrows as she realized something.

"What? I am told?" she said to herself. She was now standing on her feet, looking down.

"Yeah, your right." She said, wiping away all tears.

"At least, I can't be weak." She said, face now full of determination.

"Hey, come on. Food's ready." She said to cut off the uncomfortable silence.

"But um.. you guys need to change. This dried blood is sick." She said, returned to her back self.

As they all obeyed her orders, taking a shower. They all were thinking about the same thing except Aera. Celestia, Namjoon and Taehyung were all thinking about one name they heard from Aera. But Celestia and Namjoon were more shook than anyone. How did she know their mother's name or how she was killed?

The next day

Taehyung's POV

Hey! I need to tell you guys something about the clues. No, that sounds awkward.

Have anyone of you guys found any clue? No, that sounds artificial.

Hey, I think you guys need to know this. Yes, this sounds good.
