Keeper of Dark Light (Sequel to Beacon Of Light)

Chapter One

~Previously~

Lay walked out into the living room his face stained with dry tears. Sehun, D.O, Suho, Chen, Chanyeol and Xiao-ping all stood upon Lay's arrival. All their hearts stopped at Lay's sullen looking face. They feared the worst as they observed Lay's posture. They awaited the news of their best friend.

"Baekhyun he's. . . Lay hiccuped as he couldn't finish his sentence. "Baekhyun he's. . . he's in a bad condition and my power is defenseless. I can't cure him. His health is deteriorating and I can't fix it. Whatever they done they did something so that he is incurable. There's something there that I can't heal. As the night goes on I'll stay up and watch over him. I'm sorry to tell you this bad news. I let Baek down and you guys". Lay said as he looked down at the ground not wanting them to see him break.

Suddenly Lay felt everyone hugging him. "Hey, it's not your fault that Baekhyun is in a bad state. You're doing all that you can. Don't doubt your abilities because you're good at what you do. If it weren't for you some of us would be gone. We'll figure this out and search for a cure. There has to be a way to cure him of being this monster. We'll search all of planet earth if we have to". Suho spoke comforting the smaller.

No matter what his friends said he still felt like a failure. "You'd think it would get easier as time goes by. But in reality it only gets harder". Lay mumbled looking at his family of friends. "Excuse me a minute". Lay said as he left the group hug. Chanyeol was about to go after Lay when D.O stopped him. "Just give him time Chanyeol. He'll be okay". D.O warned. Chanyeol looked towards the front door then to D.O who was silently pleading him to not leave. "If something happened to Lay I wouldn't forgive myself. Someone needs to protect him just in case. Everyone is still shaking up after what happened". Chanyeol said as he released his wrist from D.O.

As Chanyeol followed Lay outside he could see that Lay was sitting under a cottonwood tree. He sat down beside Lay noticing that he was trying to hold himself together. "Do you ever wish that things would go back to the way they were long before any of this happened?" Lay asked breaking the silence. Chanyeol looked over at Lay nodding his head. "All the time, but we can't change what happened in the past or now or present. We take what comes our way and face it with our heads held high. Nothing we can do can change what happened. Say if none of this happened we wouldn't have ever met nor would we be brothers from two different worlds. I wouldn't change a thing because we're family and we are one. We'll always stick together no matter what comes our way. We're stronger as one than we are far apart". Chanyeol spoke as he dreamt of home.

"But Chanyeol, I can't cure Baekhyun. Even if we don't find a cure for him he's gonna die all because the Red Force turned him into this monster that will potentially kill him and or others. Baekhyun's a ticking time bomb and I can't cure him because there's something I can't heal. Healing is something I can control. But when I can't I feel like I'm weak and let everyone down". Lay said fiddling with blades of grass.

Chanyeol knew Lay was blaming himself for not being able to cure their friend but he knew this was out of his control. "You're not weak Lay. You're one of the strongest people I know. I know you feel a lot of pain in your heart because you have to endure so much, but it doesn't make you weak. You've been the strongest out of all of us who deals when one of us is down. Somehow some way I believe that you'll cure Baekhyun. We'll search high and low for a cure. I'll search until my last dying breath". Chanyeol said his tone more serious than ever.
