Hunted Faith

Chapter Three: Old Roots

Jun's P.O.V.

Leaving those two wasn't easy I hope they can hold off till I get back,considering everything that might happen if this fails.

"Good you're here already thought you wouldn't make it in time." Gio said with some excitement on his pretty face. Oh yeah Gio is one pretty faced doll.

I make fun of him all the time, he can be a bit of a clown face sometimes but he's sharp for someone that pretty lol.

"Damn this place has gotten a lot colder since I left, what happened here?" I asked.

"It's Lana,she's gotten pretty worse and without you here,no one here can do anything to suppress her emotions like you do." He said.

I hastily asked him."Where's she now?"

"She locked herself out refusing to let anyone in her room and keeps on getting worse by the day." He said with a worried look on his face.

"When did this start happening?"..... This is not good.

"A month ago,after she woke up on a stormy night screaming out your name,when we got to there her eyes were her eyes flamed up, well I don't have to tell you what that means right."

"Yeah I understand." I replied.

"This is a serious issue, you know we wouldn't have called you up here if not but I didn't want to be the one to tell you this but considering everything I should....
On that night she whispered something that got us shaken. She said... she said yo... died right before her eyes.
Knowing her I didn't know what to do until now."

To be completely honest what he said is a bit scary but sad I think, me dying, I mean Jun dying nooo! I can't accept that.

Well I don't mind me fading away, but.....that's just sad.

"Don't worry kid I'm not going anywhere, just take me to her." I need to get to her quickly.

"This is where she spends most of her nights in complete isolation, we tried everything we could to make her leave but nothing worked."

As we walked towards an abandoned old mansion house, I could feel her energy outside I should really find her before anything happens....

Feels like I just arrived in the Arctic, even walking up the staircase sent chills down my spine. I should know how dangerous she gets at times like this and the challenges she's facing now.

Suddenly an outburst erupts from one the rooms ahead of me. Rushed towards it then I saw her in a corner, on the floor as flames around her magnified which made the entire place feel more like winter than summer.

"Lana!?"
She turned looking straight at me showing no emotions she points her palms engulfed with flames, spikes of ice quickly forms towards me .

"Oh shit." I jumped out of the doorway, that was a close call.

"C'mon is this how you treat old friends?" I asked just to get her to notice whom I am, and it's working.

She whispers softly "Jun!?".
"I'm sorry can't stop myself." She says.

"It's alright I'm here for you so everything will be fine." Now I need to find a way to calm her down without actually hurting her.

"Lana I'm coming closer to you so could you cool off a bit."
I moved right in front of her without her noticing my steps well actually no one can, I hugged her tightly close to me.

"How? When?" She looked at me confused.

"I'm okay as you can see, not dead yet." I replied.

"But... I watched you die in front of me." She sounds terrified.

"Well I'm still alive aren't I? Besides you really shouldn't be worried nor depressed or sad about a future that is not certain."
Immediately her flames quickly went away and everything else around us went back to normal, leaving us with lots of damages to fix.

But the house would take quite a while to look normal again.

"When did you get here, more importantly how did you know...?" She asked.

"Sshh that's enough talk, get some sleep now I'll take you to your room." I carried her in my arms out of the old house and into mine, where she slept peacefully.
