In over my head (BTS)

12.

A/N: this is just a little warning to all the Hobi fans about the end of this chapter. If you're as sensitive and protective over our sunshine as I am proceed with caution.

Also the song Nae-un sings are not my lyrics they are JUBYPHONIC'S trans-lyrics for "Love sickness" check her out on YouTube she sings amazing English covers of vocaloid songs.

In the end Nae-un only had to wait two days until Black-catcher sent someone with something she could track with. While she waited, Nae-un had studied every curse, hex and weapon summoning spell in her books. As she read about the effects of each of the spells her conscience grew heavy, she did her best to forget the fact that those spells would be used against living people and concentrate on learning as much as she could, to stay useful.

She heard a knock on her door one afternoon, none of the boys ever knocked so immediately she guessed it was a Black-catcher member, with something she could track. The door opened to reveal a tall, slim, doll-like girl with bleached blonde hair. She addressed Nae-un in a friendly manner, as if they were classmates and not a gang member and a captive, magic slave. "Hey, you're Nae-un, right? My name's Lisa. I've got something to help you find District's hideout." Nae-un nodded and took the metal lighter from Lisa's outstretched hand. "Oh and by the way, one of the boys has already turned off the magic cancelling glyph so you can start right away" Nodding again, Nae-un opened one of her books on the page with the tracking glyph and rummaged around her desk until she pulled a broken piece of chalk from under a stack of loose handwritten notes. She walked out into the main area, without a word and quietly set to work.

With Lisa and the others watching, she activated the glyph, this time she braced herself for the large magical output she was making and as a result only felt a wave of dizziness and a headache for the rest of the day, her heart sank when she saw the colour of the lines, sky blue, the colour of all her magic as of late but this time it had thin, pulsing veins of a deep, shimmering, blood red colour. The others didn't notice the colour, they walked into the glyph to get a better look at the map.

Nae-un went through the next week like a zombie. Not only did she feel immensely guilty with every poison she brewed, curse she cast and weapon she enhanced, she also felt extremely drained and exhausted from using soo much of her soul energy in such a short space of time. She fainted three times in the seven days that she helped prepare for the raid.

"I don't know how you're able to do this Nae-un, it's only been an hour since you woke up from after fainting" SuA was a Black-catcher magic user, she along with Siyeon, Handong, JiU and occasionally their leader Yoohyeon worked with Nae-in to get ready for the raid. Nae-un had become relatively friendly with the girls she worked with and by the end of the week they would joke and tease each other, shamelessly, if they had the energy. "Don't really have much of a choice" Nae-un replied bitterly "What'd you mean?" SuA looked up at Nae-un, from her small cauldron "Oh....right.... I didn't explain how things work for me here. I'm basically their slave and bottom line is..... if they decided they were fed up with me right this second......they'd kill me. I need to keep them satisfied.....or I'll die" "They said that?" Nae-un simply nodded and busied herself with another curse to try and take her mind off it. SuA interrupted her, putting a hand on Nae-un's shoulder "I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't think I would be able to cope as well as you do in this situation.....You're my friend now Nae-un. I can't get you out of here, but if things go south for bangtan..... I promise to make sure that Black-catcher will be there to have your back and take you in. The other girls feel that way about you too, I know it's hard but just remember you've got me and Siyeon and Handong and JiU and even Gahyeon, Dami and Yoohyeon" Nae-un smiled halfheartedly "Thanks SuA, at least I'm not completely alone"
