Chapter Five - Gratitude

"That's impossible" Yuta yells in anger. He stands from the table and flicks his wrist, sending the furniture crashing into the wall behind it.

Sicheng rushes into the room as soon as he hears things breaking, automatically assuming his boss is under attack.

"We are in trouble Sicheng" Yuta frowns as he kicks a hole into the wall.

"What is it?" Sicheng questions as he slowly walks over to the older. He checks to make sure no one is watching as he gently pulls Yuta into a back hug.

"That warlock whom you and Haechan failed to grab has brought Taeil back to life. He is much more powerful then any of us could've imagined."

Sicheng is shocked by this but he remains quiet as he focuses on comforting the older.

"They can never know about us" Yuta mutters, his hands moving to cover the younger's which are resting on the older's abdomen.

"They'd kill you. They'd take you away from me."

"I know" Is all Sicheng says.

Yuta and him have been in a secret relationship for nearly three years. Somehow they have managed to keep it from everyone, including those who reside within the mansion.

The pair sought out a warlock with a power on blocking out certain details on the mind. He hid their relationship so Jaehyun can't read it when he looks into their minds.

"I wish I could give you so much more then this. You deserve so much more" Yuta states.

"I know" Sicheng can't say anything else without breaking down. It pains him to hide his love for this man...Yet it has to be done.

Taeyong wasn't sure where the house was either. He just hoped that his power would work. He stepped forward and took Taeil's hands.

Before the red haired male had a chance to ask questions, their surroundings had changed as they appeared in the same room as where Taeyong left Jaehyun earlier.

The blond haired warlock is still standing in the same spot as he was when the older left him.

He immediately raises a hand to cover his mouth as he stares at Taeil, almost as though he is looking at a ghost.

Taeil just smiles, tears welling up in his own eyes as he rushes forwards to embrace the younger.

Jaehyun laughs slowly, many emotions seem to be overwhelming him.

"It worked. You're back" He exclaims, looking at Taeyong over the red haired's shoulder.

Taeyong just shrugs as he allows the two to continue with their reunion.

"Listen, I'll explain everything but please, I need to see Doyoung" Taeil states as he pulls away from the younger. Jaehyun just nods as the red haired male runs out of the room.

As soon as Taeil has exited the room, Jaehyun walks over to Taeyong and pulls him into his warm embrace.

"I can't thank you enough" He says as he holds onto him.

Taeyong doesn't know what to say. He just holds the younger with the same amount of force.

They pull apart from each other as they hear Doyoung yell out. They leave the room and rush to Doyoung's location.

Jungwoo is already walking through the door by the time they get there.

Taeyong is relieved when he sees Doyoung in tears, holding onto Taeil for dear life.

"You came back to me" He sobs over and over again.

Taeil cries as well as he buries his head into the younger's shoulder.

Jungwoo is taken back by the sight. He stumbles back a step, a look of content washes upon his features.

Doyoung sees Taeyong and pulls away from his boyfriend. He hugs the older and begins to thank him.

"I will forever be in your debt."

"There's no need for that, it's nothing" Taeyong speaks earnestly.

"Talk to us Taeil, explain what happened" Jaehyun speaks, his leader voice has taken hold of him once more.

Doyoung pulls away from Taeyong and moves to hold Taeil's hand, refusing to seperate from the red haired male.

"Yuta caught me when I was grocery shopping. He took me back to his house where he asked for me to tell him about the location of this house. He thought I was lying when I said I didn't know. So he cut off my finger, telling me that he would send it to Doyoung. He then snapped my neck. Next thing I know, I'm alive and wandering the streets." Taeil explains.

Doyoung's tears begin to dry as his expression is slowly replaced with one of great anger.

Jaehyun's features hold a similar expression of anger as he scratches his chin.

"We have to kill that bastard" Doyoung speaks harshly.

"No" Jaehyun corrects him. "Death is too good for him. We have to send him to the abyss."

Jungwoo lowers his gaze to the floor as he hears this title.

"What's that?" Taeyong questions.
Jaehyun goes to explain but Jungwoo speaks up.

"It's a place where you are doomed to suffer an eternity alone. No one else is there. The torture is not being able to communicate. You don't see anything but the dark walls of the abyss which you have fallen into. It is one of the greatest punishments which a warlock could possibly come across. There is no coming back from the abyss."

Taeyong frowns as he hears about this place. It sounds awful, yet Doyoung looks as though he believes this is the perfect place for Yuta.

"Taeil, I'm going to send you with Doyoung. Get your things, you're moving in with us so we can protect you" Jaehyun speaks as though it were an order.

The red haired male nods as he takes Doyoung out of the room.

"What are we going to do?" Jungwoo asks as he walks to be closer to Jaehyun and Taeyong.

"We are going to train Taeyong so his powers can be used without hesitation and without a cost. We need him to be strong if we are going to fight Yuta." Jaehyun informs the pair.

"What if I can't be trained?" Taeyong dares to ask, not sure if he wants to hear the answer.

"You will be trained, or you can join Yuta in the abyss" the blond haired male smirks as he pats the older's shoulder.

He then turns on his heel and leaves the room.

"He's joking" Jungwoo assures Taeyong as gestures for the older to follow their leader.

Taeyong breathes a sigh of relief.
