Fifteen: Can't Lose You Now, Can't Lose You Ever

Third Person's POV

In a rusty old dungeon, there, clangings of chains can be heard. It stirred Chaeryoung in her sleep. She groans and rubs the back of her neck and there she realizes why her wrists felt heavy and the concrete felt cold.

She was captured. She panicked and looked around and in one dark corner of the room, a gseemingly goddess in disguise was tied up. There, she stands. Hanging. Her wrist are tied together and her milky skin had obvious bruises. Her blonde silky hair falls through her face softly and her body seem to give up on resisting. Her white nightgown covered in dirt. Though she looked wrecked, she still looked ethereal.

Chaeryoung sobbed. It was brutal to look at. Dahyun never deserve something like this. Chaeryoung tries to get out and resist. She tries her best to destroy the chains but no Loyal Vessel could ever destroy this one.

'D-dahyunnie...'  Chaeryoung cries and prays. Until she heard footsteps and the gate opening.

Three men came in. One in a suit and two of his bodyguards. The one in suit is very well built. He has very nice trimmed facial hair and haircut. His well done body seemingly wants to get out of the suit he was wearing. He wears gold watches and necklace. He wears black earrings and just by looking at him in the first glance, this guy is more than an Alpha. There's only one category he could be in,

Night Deities.

Chaeryoung tries to stand up and attack the man but the chains held her back. She couldn't reach him or any of them and they didn't looked bothered nor flinched. Chaeryoung falls.

The guy in suit smirks and sats down in front of Chaeryoung with a mocking smile.

'How cute' He mockingly uttered. 'Don't be too worried, she just need to give us her Zodiac's celestial weapon and off you go' He growls.

'I won't let you' Chaeryoung gritted her teeth in anger. If these chains isn't holding her back, she could've given him a hard time to mock her.

'Oh? Scary.' The guy scoffed.

'Why don't you stop being a coward and let me go. I'll make your way of dying very ugly' Chaeryoung growled.

'Oh no. No, no, no, no, honey. You sit there and watch us find every brutal way just to get that celestial weapon of your master' The guy chuckled a little before standing up leaving Chaeryoung still trying her best to stop him and his men to get to Dahyun who's sleeping peacefully.

The guy stopped in his track and put on the familiar mocking smile, 'I'm Nathan, by the way. The soon-to-be-ruler of this world as soon as I collect all the Zodiacs' celestial weapons'

Nathan smirks and looks in front of him. A beautiful goddess was all tied up waiting for him. He put up his sleeves and walked to the sleeping Eve.

*SMACK!*

He slaps her hard. Dahyun wakes up tiringly. Worn out by his torturing methods.

''Morning, Sunshine' Nathan says. He grabs her face aggressively. 'Now, would you mind telling me how to get that celestial weapon out of you?'

Dahyun glared at him, 'She didn't.... give me any... celestial bullshit!' She utters and spits on his face.

'Oh my. What a terrible act. I've been patient with you long enough. It's about time you learn your place, you little whore' Nathan lets go of Dahyun's face aggressively and looks back to his men. He nods at them and the two men started untie Dahyun and drags the resisting Eve out of the dungeon.
