Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Twelve Majestic - Part 2

Kris's POV

The boys were all cautious with following her, and some of them had their backs hunched.

I didn't trust this strange human girl. She radiated a negative energy, the exact same aura I've always thought surrounded the witch, Joonmyeon's aunt. Although the girl's aura was less volatile, less buzzing, and humble, it still held a sense of vulgar and bad energy. I didn't like her immediately, but she looked like she genuinely knew what she was doing.

She took us to the back of her house, where a small, rusty door was located. The door made my heart pounce, a prick of familiarity exploding within me. Where had I seen this door? I have never ventured to this area of Joonmyeon's house before, and didn't notice they had a door at the back of their house.

I looked at the boys to see if they have the same reaction on their faces, and true enough, they were all sharing a look between one another in wonder and nervousness. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Hani's eyes continuously falling to the cat meowing around her legs, shivering and radiating an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.

Besides my flight abilities, I was a human aura detector. I could feel everyone's feelings, and although Hani's feelings were always a little restrained and dimmed, she was still easy to read for me, and right now, she was anxious.

"We are going inside, the place will fit.. all of you," the girl gave us a look, her dark rimmed eyes blazing for a millisecond, before pushing the door open.

My heart stopped beating.

It was the room we were all shifted into this.. form. The witch's magic lair.

It seemed I wasn't the only one affected, as the boys didn't dare take a step forward, not into that horrid place. Hani gave us a confused look, while the girl looked patient, understanding, and for a minute, I swore she radiated pity. I didn't like that certain emotion from others.

"What's wrong?" Hani asked, the girl behind her watching our interaction with sealed lips.

"It's where we were first trapped into these cards," Sehun answered with a stoic face, although his complexion was a lot paler than usual. He was terrified. At his answer, Hani whipped her head to the girl with anger-fueled eyes.

"What the hell is this? Are you not going to explain yourself first? Who are you?"

In spite of Hani's anger, and her small age, the girl looked wise, patient, and downright calm. It was unsettling to see such a young girl, younger than Hani, look so settled.

"I'm Meang," the girl introduced, not offering her hand for any of us. "I was waiting for you all for the past two years."

Her answer dropped cold, icy water down our clothes, and the already intense atmosphere dropped. Everyone was quiet too, gazing at the girl like she dropped a bomb, which she quite did.

What the hell did that mean?

Seeing our utter confusion, Meang stepped out of the door with a frown. "I have seen scribbles in this exact room about you, your creation, your abilities and your.. your society. But there was also something I found there," Meang actually dared to pause for dramatic reaction. "Your freedom."

"What does that mean?" Luhan looked pissed off, his face red with anger, and I didn't really blame him. We all were, we had no idea what nonsense this little girl was spewing.

"Why don't you come inside first? You'll understand better then," the girl looked almost pleading, and our tensed shoulders slouched a little. Pleading was a sign of weakness, and there was no way she was going to do something horrible while looking so.. broken herself.
