The Gifted - NCT Fanfiction

Chapter 11

We had always done this kinds of nights, movies and food from the outside, he always had contraband candy, which I still have no idea how he gets it and who he gets if from, yet he still always had some, and he always knew my favorites, as it was the items he never let run out, which I appreciated a lot.

I was aware that there would be not a bad consequence if they found the food from the outside that he had somehow brought here, but it could influence other people to do the same, and it would be very irresponsible, because as they don't know heat they're doing, is pretty dangerous to go out, or to get the wrong contacts.

Both of us were in my room, which was very spacious, laying on the bed watching an action movie, which was one of our favorites, there was candy and other types of food all over, as we were there, like the old times, enjoying each other's company.

"What happened last night with Mark?" he asked and my heart started pounding hard, as his sudden question made me nervous.

"Not much" I lied, I didn't even really know so it wasn't worthy trying to explain, I never liked to lie to him, but it was so complicated that I wasn't going to say something that was probably wrong.

He didn't say anything more after my answer, I know maybe he saw what was about to happen between Mark and I, but there was also a possibility of him not knowing, so I didn't want to take the risk of messing something up because of a maybe.

We stayed like this watching movies and eating snacks for some hours, the atmosphere was quite calm most of the time, but I felt something inside me that seemed to not be right, it was there in my soul, it had something to do with my connection to the underworld, it wasn't a good feeling at all, but I decided to ignore it as much as I could and focus on the movie, until a knock on the door was heard getting me out of my thoughts, it seemed desperate, in which we both stood up, as it seemed like something important.

"Lia!" I heard Lucas screaming my name.

I ran to the door and opened it, seeing a sweaty Lucas who looked worried and in distress.

"What's going on?"

"Is Jisung, he got hurt pretty bad" he exposed.

"What can I do? I don't get it; aren't you guys the good ones at curing?" I asked as Haechan stood beside me, also confused by the situation.

"That's the thing, we can't get to him" I didn't quite understand what he was talking about "he seems to be in between a portal of life and death."

My eyes grew wide; I knew something was not right.

"Take me there" the tall boy nodded, behind him was another guy, the one that helped him with the Iris message, Chenle if I'm not wrong.

We all ran towards the border of the barrier in the South side, where there were lots of other demigods who were trying to do something that could help.

I couldn't really see much as there was a multitude that impeding my vision, but the feeling that I had on my chest was growing exponentially as I got closer and closer to the exact place where Jisung is at the moment.

"I need them to move aside" I told Haechan, he nodded and ran to get something from his cabin as fast as he could, calling his siblings in the process.

I walked towards Jisung, who was levitating inside a black smoke, making me think that it was the portal to the underworld, and as I felt it, I knew my thoughts were right, it was powerful.

"Move aside!" I yelled loudly as the other demigods who were beside me were not backing away.

The shadow was growing bigger and bigger as the time passes, and the feeling that I had on my chest was hurting now, I felt death near us, and I panicked.

I extended my hands, making Jisung move towards me using my abilities, with the shadow still surrounding him, I was scared for his life, as maybe he couldn't handle all this power onto his body, but it was the only way.

In the distance I saw Haechan and some of his siblings with flying snickers, the ones that help them fly, approaching us quickly, I thank them mentally.

The children of Ares and Apollo were ready to strike anything at any moment, anytime, with the help of the children of Athena, Hephaestus and Demeter, who also were preparing for any sign of threat. The children of Hermes, including Haechan started leading the younger demigods away, taking them to a safer place, where they wouldn't be hurt.

As the seconds passed, the wind was getting more aggressive.

My hands were trembling, and a dark dense mist was forming in between my hands, absorbing the other shadow that surrounded Jisung, making my eyes go pitch black for some minutes, as the other demigods were staring at what was happening.

"Chenle!" I yelled out calling for the young boy "I need your help!"

I was aware that I didn't really knew him at all, only his name and the fact that he was the only child of Iris that I could think of the moment.

"I need you to create a source of light!" I yelled at him, as the others made a path for him and now I could see him better.

"I don't know how to!" he yelled back.

"Yes, you do!" I answered "I have seen you!"

"But only small!"

"Chenle, I know we don't know each other, but I need your help now!" I was desperate "the light of the children of Apollo is different and I need yours, do it now!"

He started to feel the pressure, and as I felt that my life was at the verge and also Jisung's my chest sunk as I seized the possibility of us dying.

"Chenle!" I screamed, I knew I was putting way too much pressure on the young boy, but that was the only way he will make it.

He came closer, as the children of Ares were shielding the rest, he approached me and started making light, it was small but I knew it could get way bigger, he just needed to focus and project his powers to me.

"Is not big enough" he was frustrated and I could see tears forming on his eyes.

I fell to my knees, absorbing the power that was now detaching from him, sweat started forming on every part of my body as it was shaking.

"Focus!"

He let out a small whimper, but still he focused with now tears falling down his face and a big silver lighting grew on his hands.

"Throw it at me!"

"What?" he asked surprised "it will hurt you!"

"Just do it!" I demanded.

"No!" I could hear Haechan's screams in the distance, but it didn't matter at the moment.

"Chenle, do it now!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, as I could almost see Jisung's soul leaving his body, and my own was also at the verge, I almost could feel like I was going to pass out.

I saw Chenle with now blurry vision, but I could see that he was nodding, not fully convinced.

Seconds later he did what I had told him to do.

And after that I could see then was white.
