Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 61: Cruel Angel's Thesis

"What was that?!" Dami looked around her. The explosion startled all of them. And followed after was the siren.

"Emergency drill?" Yoohyeon shrugged. All of them looked at each other in confusion.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Handong frowned. As if on cue, Siyeon entered the dorm with JiU in her arm.

"We're under attack! The base is under attack!" Siyeon panted, laying JiU on the floor.

"JiU! God, what have they done to you?!" SuA grabbed hold of JiU, her eyes started to water.

"They're....coming...." JiU mumbled incessantly.

"Who's coming? Unnie!" Gahyeon tried to get some sense to her sister. Suddenly their dorm door burst open.

"Gear up! An- JiU?!" CL gasped as she saw JiU.

"How? Why?" CL lost for words.

"Unnie, where are the others?! Who attacks us?" Dami tried to fish information from CL.

"No idea, but multiple breaches have been reported. Gear up and move to the rear. Watch each others back!" CL shook her head and rushed out. But Siyeon held her back.

"Rear?! Unnie! We're under attack and you ordered us to go to the back?! What the hell?!" Siyeon raised her voice.

"Siren! This is an order! Get your gear and get your ass moving!" CL snapped back then went on her way. The explosion are getting closer, indicating their enemies are getting closer to their location.

"Fuck that! We're joining the frontline with the rest!" Handong scoffed as she put on her armour.

"Stand down! There must be a reason why they want us in the rear." SuA ordered them as she injected JiU with her regen shot. Slowly the injuries healed, but JiU is still talking incoherently.

"They broke her body and her mind...." SuA gritted her teeth.

"Let's get this straight. Are we going or not? We're just sitting duck here, Medusa!" Siyeon shouted at SuA.

SuA weighed her options. Their leader is down. The order from the higher up wanted them to linger in the rear, but she has a feeling that the invaders are The Seers. So, Shadow Corps would need all the helps it can get. But she doubted her leadership ability. Maybe on a bunch of gangsters, but not on trained soldiers like the rest of them.

SuA looked at JiU, hoping she would snapped out of whatever her abductors had done to her. Hoping for her guidances, her leadership. But the situation demanded her to make a decision. She drew in a deep breath to clear her mind.

"Okay. Keres, Yan Wang, and Siren. Get to the frontline with the rest of them. Yeomna and Fenrir with me. We're hanging in the rear." SuA gave her order.

"Why me?!" Dami protested.

"Because you're the only one capable of protecting me and Fenrir while I'm tending to Lykan! Now shut your hole and get your ass moving! Go!" SuA justified her reason as she snapped on her greaves.

The rest scrambled on their gears as fast as they could. And right now, the battle grown closer to their location. After bidding each other good luck, they parted ways.

"Dreamcatcher Keres, Yan Wang, and Siren: reporting in! What's the situation?" Yan Wang inquired.

"What the fuck?! I thought Raijin ordered you runts to go to the rear! What in the goddamn hell you doing here?!" Taeyeon bellowed. A second later, Irene, Yeri, and Joy joined them. Taeyeon turned hot red in anger, but the situation calls for her not to scream at them. She took a couple of deep breaths and mounted her cover, firing towards the enemies.
