Chapter 8 (1/2)

The cold breeze swift away his footprint on the ground that is now covered with thick snow. But the immortal doesn't feel anything. The cold was never a problem to him even though he was half naked. No garments to cover his torso. Kai then finally reached his destination and stood on the frozen river. His eyes wondereded on the shinning floor, searching for something... or someone. A few minutes later he found it and frowned thinking the next step. He walk towards the riverbank. He took a large rock and throws it to the ice floor which made it cracked, revealing the clear water. The tall, dark, and handsome immortal came back in front of the broken ice with a triumph written all over his face. He bent over and scooped up the frozen immortal.   Kai teleport to another place and arrived at the snowy peak of a mountain. He then placed the frozen immortal on the ground. He touched the mark on the immortal's forehead and started to whisper words that sounded like a mantra.

The ice melted and soon the immortal was no longer frozen. "Well... well... well... it's nice seing you again, Kai. How have you been?" says the immortal.  Kai didn't answer and only gave his mocking smile.  The immortal didn't like the sarcasm in his face and frowned, perhaps remembering something from the past. Kai knew what's going to happen next. The immortal smiled at him and for the first time after so many years, Kai finally felt the cold again. Not again.

Kai burst out laughing before turning into ice.

You startled at the noise that wakes you up from your fitful sleep. You slide off from your bed and walks out of the room. As you walked down the marble staircase, you saw Sehun staring in front of a large portrait that hanged in the wall.

Sehun heard the sound of your footsteps. He immediately turned to you but only for a split second and his attention were back on the portrait again.

"Chanyeol and Baekhyun are fighting again. Did they wake you up, princess?" Sehun shake his head. "Do you want me to shut them up?"   You slowly approached him and stared also at the picture of a smiling girl.

"Why are they fighting again? What is it this time?" you asked.

"Chanyeol hurt Baekhyun for burning the bed he shares with him. I told Kyungsoo to stop them but it's obvious he doesn't care."

You pursed your lip, apparently you don't care about them either so you asked the question that's been bothering you. "Sehun... who's the girl in that picture?" You said, getting to another topic.

It was quiet for a moment when Sehun answered. "She's Jessica, our last master."

"What happened to her?"

"She died of old age." Sehun paused. "She said she was tired and refused our help." His voice sounded broken just like his heart. "I still remember her even though it's been years."

"You loved her?" You really didn't know why you said those words and you regretted it when Sehun turns to look at you and smiled.

"I'll always love her and that's not going to change." He muttered.

You felt your heart pained a little.

There was silence as you and Sehun stares at each other for so long.

You shook your head slightly in frustration when you started to speak again."I should probably go and stop Chanyeol and Baekhyun, where are they anyway?"

You were about to leave when Sehun held your wrist. He gazes at you and your heartbeat quickens as he lean closer to you.

Sehun slanted his lips and kissed you softly.

Your eyes grew wide and didn't know what to do. Sehun really confuses you a lot but when you felt his soft lips started to move, you couldn't help it so you closed your eyes and started kissing him back.

When Sehun pulled away, both of you were breathless. You look into his eyes, trying to figure out who the real Sehun is. You felt like you don't know him. First, he'll make you feel unwanted that he doesn't care about you even though he made his love confession, second, he'll tell you that he's still in love with someone else that would made your inside burn with jealousy but then he'll just surprise you with a kiss which made everything so confusing again.

"Please don't let Kyungsoo kiss you." Sehun breathes with pleading eyes.

"How did you know?"

"Luhan."

You suddenly felt betrayed. Why did Luhan told him about your deal with Kyungsoo? You groaned in frustration.

The silence was indeed unbearable as you and Sehun just stared at each other until you finally decided to break it. "I need to see Kai." You remembered something and what you're suppose to do so you turned around and walked away.

Leaving a confused immortal.

You searched everywhere but you couldn't find Kai so you decided to go outside. As you walk out the front door, you were greeted by the beautiful garden, you glance up and sighed in awe at the clear blue sky. The crisp refreshing wind makes your heart feel light and free. You wondered how did you end up in this beautiful place. It's been two weeks since you left home and so far everything that happened in your journey was so magical. You wanted to enjoy every moment before you go back to your boring life in the palace and be stuck in your bedroom again.

It wasn't that long before your admiration on the place was quickly interrupted by the loud crashing sound of a body thrown against the white wall of the house. You gasp as you saw Chanyeol weakly get up from the great impact.

Chanyeol saw your worried look but didn't spare time to explain anything as he walk back to his enemy with furious eyes.

You saw Baekhyun-the immortal who is suppose to be bright, funny and always smiling but now, it's all gone. "Baekhyun!" You shouted but he was too busy grinning as if mocking at the way Chanyeol walks towards him in a slow pace.

"You almost burned my beautiful hand!" Baekhyun dropped the grin and was angry but there's something more in his expression that tells you it wasn't just the hand of why Baekhyun was mad at Chanyeol.

"What beautiful hand are you talking about?" Chanyeol scoffed as he throws a ball of fire at Baekhyun but the latter was quick to move. "I don't know why you're angry, it didn't even leave you a scar, the warlock healed you so what's your problem?"

"You're my problem!" Baekhyun run and grabbed Chanyeol's shoulder and with just one hand, he throws him on the wall again.

Your mouth flew open in shock. You didn't know Baekhyun was that strong.

Then you heard Lay laughed at the corner with Suho and Kyungsoo who are watching and looked so entertained at the moment.

You quickly run towards Chanyeol to help him that earned the attention of everyone.

"Chanyeol-" you said as you help him get up and you were surprised when he didn't burn you.

"I'm okay. I'm sorry to wake you up, princess." says Chanyeol who was panting. He forced himself to stand up.

"It's fine."

"I'm sorry, princess." He apologized again.

"Come on." You gently guide him back inside the house and everyone trailed behind.

You let Chanyeol sit on the huge couch. Everyone gathered and also seated on it, including Sehun who's looking at you with concerned eyes but you looked away and turned to Lay.

"Lay, can you heal Chanyeol's wound please?" You plead at the warlock. Lay glared at Chanyeol for a moment but proceed on your request anyway because honestly, he find it hard to refuse you.

Everyone was quiet while they watched the warlock do his healing stuff to Chanyeol.

Suho sighed in awe, admiring Lay's hand while Baekhyun kept his angry look on Chanyeol.

"Baekhyun, he didn't mean to hurt you. He can't control his power sometimes, you know that, right?" You tried to defend Chanyeol.

Chanyeol nodded. "I didn't mean it, Baek, I'm really sorry. I don't know why you're so angry."
