Chapter Twenty - Two - Craindre

Taeyong barely has a chance to react as he feels a cold hand covering his mouth. The look of hurt and betrayal instantly fill his gaze as Doyoung blows him against the wall.

Yuta sends a wave crashing down on the curtains.

Jaemin steps out to play his part, holding the collar firmly, he clips it around the dark haired male's neck.

The warlock attempts to remove the device and whimpers as it sends a bolt of electricity through his veins.

"Resisting will only hurt you" Jaehyun speaks calmly as he slowly moves over to the older. Yuta, Doyoung and Jaemin all move to be huddled around the power restricted warlock.

"H-How could you?" Taeyong's voice wobbles as he raises his eyes to meet with Jaehyun's.

"There's a chance you will survive. We must hold onto hope" The blond haired warlock diverts his gaze to the floor.

Taeyong scoffs as he rolls his eyes, "You're going to strip my powers. You're going to kill me. And here I thought you loved me."

This gets to Jaehyun.

"I love you more then anything Taeyong!" He yells. "I'm at breaking point. I don't know what else to do. I want to help you. I want to save you and this seems to be the only possible way."

"Just like the only way to deal with a traitorous mortal was to send him to hell."

Jaehyun raises his gaze to meet Taeyong's once more as he he hears the older say this. How did he know of what had happened to Taeil?

"I didn't send him to hell" The blond haired male retorts.

Doyoung tenses where he stands. He clears his throat as he tries to hold back his anger which he still holds towards Jaehyun.

"The Abyss may as well be titled hell. They both seem to be one and the same" A familiar voice states as footsteps enter the room.

All eyes turn to see who the sudden intruder is. No one can believe what they are seeing as the image of the blue haired male fills their heads.

"I barely got through it and I'm a warlock. I can't imagine what it would be like for a mortal" Jungwoo speaks with a tone of dread.

Doyoung lets out a small cry as he sees the blue haired male before him. His eyes immediately begin to water, tears threatening to spill over the edge.

"He isn't real" Jaehyun mutters, more to convince himself. Taeyong's little magic tricks won't fool him.

He won't allow it.

"Aren't I?" Jungwoo folds his arms across his chest as he meets the blond haired male's gaze. "I mean, in your eyes I never was."

"What are you saying?" Jaehyun questions, sounding slightly hurt by this. "You were my friend."

"Were, the correct tense." The blue haired male speaks bitterly.

Doyoung doesn't wait a moment longer as he runs over to the male they had presumed dead. He wraps his arms around him, the blue haired male immediately holding him tightly.

"Is this real?" Doyoung questions softly.

"I guess Jaehyun's curse was much stronger then what he thought" Is Jungwoo's response.

"But I saw your body...Your head, you were dead" The raven haired male's voice wavers.

"And my body is still there" The blue haired male pulls away from the older, gently moving his hand to caress his cheek.
