Seven Wings

(8) 아니,아니,아니

My head was spinning by the time we got to the hotel. My entire body ached and all I wanted to do was sleep.

The van pulled in a parking garage for the hotel and came to a stop near what looked like a elevator.

I couldn't be so sure as to excatly where I was was because everything was so foggy and it hurt to look at lights. The entire drive felt like a rollar coaster with acid in my eyes.

Jhope opens the van door, "Stay here," he says and hops out.  I feel my body relax and my muscles loosen. I didn't even notice I was tense.

Jhope seems nice and friendly, but he can do things that I never knew could be possible...and the unknown scares me. I never understood the saying "ingnorance is bliss" till just now. I would risk it all to just go back to normal, to be back at home laughing with Alayna, completely unaware of the other dangerous things around me.

I know it's navie to believe that the world should just be easy and relaxing, but what is happening is a completely dark and twisted rendention of the world to me. 

"I'm going to die," I wispher to myself self as a wave of dizziness washes over me.

"Your not going to die," someone says as the van door slides open. V stands there, looking at me, his hair ruffled and his shirt loose. So different than how he looked when I was saving him from the bus.

It was so hard to keep my eyes open against pain in my head.

"Help me." I say and fall into blissfully darkness.

"Nova?" I yell as she falls over onto the seat.  I didn't want to touch her. The more I touched her the stronger our bond became. I could already feel the invisible thread between us. It was uncomfortable to say in the least. But my heart lurched at the sight of her laying motionless in the back seat. She tried to save my life knowing that it could possibly kill her. No one's ever risked there life for mine in the 256 years I have been alive except for my brothers. It was weird to know that a human that is know to act rashly and selflessly...acted selfless for me.

"Nova?" I shake her shoulder, ignoring the tug I felt within when I did. This happened often to the women that were brought to my village when I was younger. Through the hazy memories I remember the women recently changed experienced pain for the first part of the change. One thing thing that will forever stick in my head was their screams as their wings finally conjured.

I don't think Novas going to like that.

"Whats wrong?" Namjoon steps beside me, looking a Nova he shakes his head and sighs.
For the 20th time that night I said, "Im sorry."

"What's done is done, V. It's now our responsibility to protect her and the stone too. Having her here could fuck-" he paused and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath he lowered his voice he was raising, "Having her here can jeopardize our entire mission. Especially with with The Xillary onto us."

And for the 21st time that night, "I know, I'm sorry." Namjoon had every right to be mad at me. Half completing a Voclum Xar was just as big a nuke being dropped on our plans.

"Jin can't hold the time barrier for long.
J-hope is helping him right now. Fly her up fast," he says and walks toward Jungkook and Jimin who were playing with the guards frozen in time.

Very gently I scoop Nova up into my arms, her head lolling back at what looked to be a very uncomfortable angle, and walk to the side of the the hotel building that had the open windows for our rooms we always say to leave open.

With a simple thought of crisp black feathers as soft as butter and hard as steel, I feel the twitch in my back . I pull on that twitch and my wings unfurl in a gentle gust of wind.

Wrapping my arms tightly around Nova and fixing her awkward head angle, I flap my wing in one massive gust that sends us soaring to the top of the building and to the open window to me and Jimins room.

We never stayed at a hotel that had small windows.

I land with a soft thud and quickly walk Nova over to the bed. I gently lay her down and go to throw a blanket over her when I remember just how feverish she felt when I held her.

The strained sharp voice of both Jin and Jhope cut through my head, "Will you please hurry up?"

I quickly turn around and fly back back down to the ground. It gave me a quick and easy excuse to leave before I thought to hard about her.

All seven of us took off too the vans to quickly get inside before the time shield fell.

Me and Yoongi set in Van with Jin who looked exhausted from straining to hold the shield.

I felt a slight push as time started again, the yells of excited fans and the flashing of cameras closing in again. Jin slumped over, eyes closed in exhaustion. He would be fine in a few physically but his powers will take some time to regather.

Time shielding is one of the most difficult things to wield. Holding back the force of the space time continuum is just as hard as it sounds.

Jin is the strongest ones out of us when it comes to time shielding being as it is his specialty. He must have been really exhausted to have Jhope help him just now. With everything that happened today, I'm not surprised.

Our entire mission of 50 years just shifted far out of line.
