Binhwan - Angels

Manifestation of Doubts

Jiwon:

Junhoe came back after a while and we all talked about the ritual before heading back in the light to rest. We were resting when a black feathery orb suddenly crossed the light. Junhoe and I stood up, surprised by what we saw. We immediately crossed the light and saw that Hanbin was warding off the two demons I saw earlier. How did they find us?!

"What are you doing here?! Why do you keep following our mortal?!" I questioned them with authority in my voice.

They giggled and grinned. Their devilish fangs brought back the eerie feeling I felt. Their eyes glowed like red fire and their horns emitted black smoke. Their tails swished around with excitement. There was definitely something wrong. Junhoe was quick to defend our mortal. He stepped forward and blocked the bed along with Hanbin. Jinhwan was still sound asleep and the two their wings, covering him from the demon's sight.

"Human... Ours..." they hissed with their screechy voices.

I saw Hanbin grit his teeth as he hid Jinhwan behind him.

"This mortal is not yours! This is our mortal!" Junhoe exclaimed.

"Human... Ours... Us... See... ours..." they hissed back. I don't quite understand what they mean. Since they're demons it's normal that they can't even speak normally.

Then it hit me... "We really need to perform the ritual" I said.

"What? Why now?!" Hanbin complained.

"These demons are here because Jinhwan can see us and he can see them too!" I said.

The demon's giggles became louder. Seems like I was right.

"But we can't do the ritual here. The space... is..." Junhoe started but he couldn't even think properly because he doesn't want to be distracted.

"I know a place." I said.

I opened our wings and Hanbin carried Jinhwan who seemed to have woken up with all the commotion. We all flew onto the light and we were transported to our resting place.

It's not the afterlife, if you're curious. It's simply a big white room with places to lie down on.

Hanbin slowly put Jinhwan down and looked at me when I held his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Hanbin. We really have to." I said.

He sighed and looked at Jinhwan. Jinhwan looked at us with confused eyes, unsure what's going on.

"W-what's going on? Where are we?" he asked.

"We're putting everything back to normal." I declared.

The three of us stepped away and formed a triangle. We spread out our wings and feathery orbs formed in front of our chests.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

Junhoe nodded but Hanbin looked troubled.

"Hanbin, we have to do this or those demons might get him!" I said.

We heard giggles from the light. They can't possibly enter the light, they'll burn and vanish. But the giggles seems to have doubled and became louder.
