Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 2: Athena's Guidance

Chae Rin just stared at the fireplace. She took a glance at JiU. She's sleeping soundly at the long chair. She's still trying to wraps her head on JiU's story. If it's true, the poor child has gone through hell by herself.

She went to her room. She flipped the carpet and raised the floorboard. There's a staircase leading down. She clapped her hands and the room lit up. The room was clean and well lit compared to the upper part. She sit on the armchair, massages her temple and starts speaking.

"Olympus, wake up.", She spoke.

The wall in front of her suddenly darkened and turned bright. It was a screen. On the screen written, O.L.Y.M.P.U.S.. Suddenly, an automated, deep, male voice replied to Chae Rin.

"Welcome back, Athena. What can I help you with?", OLYMPUS requested.

"Look, I need you to establish contact with Ares, Apollo, and, Aphrodite." she gave command.

The screen divided into three. Shortly after, two of the screens activated. But the third screen marked 'Ares' remained dark.

"Yo, sister. What's up? Long time no see", Aphrodite greeted.

"Been a while, babe. How you've been? Where's Minzy?" Apollo asked.

"That's why I'm calling you, unnie. I got a bad news." CL sighed. "Park Bom unnie, do you have Minzy's last location?"

"I think she lived in Michelstadt with her family. Why you ask?" Aphrodite asked.

"Are you close? Can you get to her?" CL requested.

"I'm in The States right now. Dara, where are you now?" Park Bom asked Apollo.

"I'm in Hamburg. I can get to her if you want. Give me the address later. Cl, you haven't answered our question. Why you suddenly asking about our maknae?" Dara questioned CL.

"Minzy's daughter is here with me." CL replied.

"Which one? The eldest or the youngest?" Dara asked.

"Wait, she has 2 daughters?", CL astonished.

"Yeah. If you come out of your cabin once in a while, you might know" Park Bom rolled her eyes. "But why she with you? Where's Minzy?" She continued.

"The red haired one" CL replied. Now she have a very bad premonition.

"Oh, the eldest JiU" Dara quipped. CL suddenly stood up. Her face grim.

"Dara unnie, please get to Minzy's as fast as you could. Now, if possible. How fast can you get there from Hamburg?" CL commanded.

"Around 6 hours, 5 and a half if I run the redlights. But CL, what's going on? You scaring unnie" Dara started to worry.

CL told the unnies everything JiU told her. Park Bom and Dara were distraught. They couldn't believed what they had heard. Park Bom kept denying, Dara buried her face in her hands.

"Unnie, please. Make it there as fast as you could. Get intel on what had happened to her. Kids wont lie in things like this." CL bowed her head.

"I'm going right now. I'll report back to you when i have it" Dara replied meekly.

"Dara, I'll meet you in Michelstadt. I'm flying in right now. CL, take care of JiU. We phoned in when we have something" Park Bom added.

JiU suddenly woke up. It was the same nightmare that haunted her. She started to hyperventilate. Suddenly, someone held her and gave her a paperbag.

"Here, breath in. Breath out. Calm down." CL held JiU and instructed her.

JiU took the paperbag and starts breathing into it. A moment later, her breathing calmed down. She wiped her tears. She looked at CL. She tried to pull herself away from CL, but CL held her tight. Suddenly she felt droplets of water fell onto her face.
