Desperado | Lee Felix

secrets

The car ride to the castle was pretty uneventful. Everyone in the car was either terrified Henry was going to come up behind them or was too exhausted from the past events to be terrified. You fit it in the second category.

You were sitting next to the window, leaning your head against it and watching the snow flurry down and bounce off the car. Felix was sitting next to you with his knee bouncing up and down repeatedly, a sure sign he was nervous.

"Dude," Jisung said, who was sitting next to Felix, with his head resting against his seat, "Can you chill? Henry won't start looking for us, or at least until he's thrown a couple paper balls at random people out of anger. And trust me, that could take a while."

Felix just nodded and stopped shaking his leg. Five seconds must have passed until he started tapping his fingers against his knee, impatiently.

Jisung just rolled his eyes and looked out the window, like you were doing.

Minho was also unusually calm, sitting next to Seungmin in the passenger seat, while Seungmin drove. You had a feeling Seungmin was also anxious, but he was hiding it well.

You leaned your forehead against the window and sighed out loud. The feeling of intense relief was still in you, but you knew the conflict was far from over. Rosé and Chan were most likely still trapped in the cave, counting on you to come back.

Exhausted you closed your eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Henry POV

A drug-induced sleep, like this one, was really not fun. You didn't know how sleeping pills for people who had insomnia actually felt, but you might need to start taking them now.

The same nightmare played in your subconscious that had been playing the past couple nights, every night.

It always started with you at the castle, in your old room. Your father came in and before you knew what was happening, he disappeared into a wave of smoke. Next, your brother came in, and the same thing happened to him. Finally, your two nephews, Felix and Minho, the little kid versions of them, ran in, both crying looking for their father, before also disappearing into a wave of gray smoke.

It was at this point that the dream version of you, began to panic. Every time you willed yourself to not, but every time you did.

You ran out of your room, out of the castle, and out of the village into the forest. Every person you ran past disappeared into gray smoke.

As soon as you reached the place you lived now, you would wake up, not being able see what would happen to you.

You must have had the dream at least a million times in your drugged sleep. You'd be a fool to not know what it meant. Eventually, after everything, you would end up alone.

But it was just dream, right? You were sure you'd be fine. In the end, revenge would be sweet.

But no matter how many times you told yourself that, you knew that deep down, you were secretly terrified.

Your POV

You blinked your eyes, slowly coming back to consciousness. You had been dreaming about something, though you couldn't remember what. It gave you a chilling feeling, that you couldn't describe.

You waved it off, as a huge smile took over your features. For the second time, the beautiful castle of the capitol came into your vision, absolutely taking your breath away.
