The Gifted - NCT Fanfiction

Chapter 33

We all had the night to rest, but I knew it wouldn't be for long, as I knew that the game of Capture the flag was going to take place in a couple of days, so the camp was in such a hurry to train and get ready for the game.

Mr. D. had told them before that this time the game will change, and everything will be different, and luckily today was the day that we will all settle the new rules and agreements, as there were some new campers and new cabins who will participate, like mine that I was gone for some time, and Poseidon's cabin, as his son was one of the new half-bloods that is going to play.

And talking about that, I never knew who was the other child of the big three, and I was hoping that I could see who it is in the game, where almost everyone, if not everyone participates.

I had woken up almost at noon, which was not really common here in the camp, as almost everyone woke up early to train or do something fun, I went to the dining pavilion and got something for myself, I burned some as an offer and I walked outside with my apple on one hand, and an energy bar on the other.

"Lia!" I turned around to see a happy Haechan coming my way.

"Haechan!" I hugged him tight "how was your sleep?"

"It was great; I just woke up."

"Me too" I laughed, and I offered him the bar, but he nodded no, instead, he grabbed the hand which had the apple on it and took a bite out of it.

I was used to this, we shared lots of things, and I was never the one who complained, actually since we were younger, we had always agreed on sharing almost everything, and as we always did that, we were accustomed to it, neither of us minded.

"So, how is Renjun?"

"He is in The Big House as we speak, he couldn't wait so I took him there, I actually came from there."

"Good, and have you heard about Kun?"

"Not really, I saw him with some siblings who looked like they were going to the dining pavilion, but I haven't spoken to him today."

"Maybe we will talk to them later, is important for them to blend in well, as they will stay here for a really long time" he nodded at my comment.

Both of us decided to have some time by the Bunker 9, as we were curious about Jaemin's machines and other things, we had heard some campers say he was fixing a small machine someone found of the woods, and it looked awesome.

As always, we both were very curious.

I knocked on the door and waited, as I knew Jaemin might be busy.

"Who is it?" we heard a voice coming from the inside.

"It's us" Haechan responded and I hit his shoulder, as he was not specific at all.

"Haechan and Venelia" I announced, making Haechan nod with a grin, he also rolled his eyes.

Some seconds passed and the door opened, showing a dusty Jaemin who was covered in oil and dirt.

"Hey guys, is nice having you here" he smiled at us and moved a little, so we could both enter the place, we also saluted him and went in "I thought it was another annoying half-blood who wanted to check on the portal box, they have been very annoying since we found it."

"Portal box?" I asked as I looked around, I have been here before, but it was way too long ago, and it has changed a lot.

"Yeah, at least that's what I think it is" he walked to a corner and we both followed him.

I looked at the walls, there were maps, plans, tools and some other things that I was not really sure what they were, but surely, they were interesting.

"And how did you know it was a portal?" Haechan asked him.

"Well, I'm going to turn it on, and I want you guys to be far from it, I don't know the power it possesses" Haechan and I stood back a little and watched over Jaemin, who was holding a small black and red box.

He placed it on the wooden table that was in the corner and touched it on the top and almost ran to us, as we all observed what would it do.

"What now?"

"Patience Lia" Jaemin told me.

"You are asking her to be patient?" Haechan mocked me and I punched his shoulder once more, he laughed and Jaemin did the same.

As I kept looking at the box, it suddenly moved slightly and a golden light made its way through the cracks of the box, I jumped startled.

"Look" Jaemin whispered and as he did, he grabbed a big screw and threw it at the supposed portal.

When it almost came to contact to the box, it disappeared, it vanished in the air, as the golden light shined even brighter.

"Incredible" I muttered.

"I'm going to close it now" he announced and we nodded, but I was still a little scared as it could also swallow him.

"Careful" I spoke and he nodded.

"I figured it can be dangerous, but I don't think it can do anything to me" he closed it and we approached, as we saw it was black and red again and the golden light was now gone.

"How do you know that?"

"Because when we found it, it only suctioned objects and not people, I guess only if you know how to control it, it will transport you" we nodded as we understood "and that's why I called Johnny, because I really don't know how to make it work, still, we have to be cautious."

The box was a very interesting item, no wonder why everybody was talking about it, but I also wondered, how did it appear there? How long has it been in the camp? And also, who placed it there and who it belonged to?

Those were some questions we needed to answer, maybe not now, but hopefully soon, as the answers could help us find out how can it be used and how powerful it is.
