Chapter 6

The cold breeze tickled his sensitive skin, but a hellish flame was still burning inside his body. He could feel deep down something was preparing to emerge. He was standing on an abandoned building rooftop and the beautiful orange sky mocked him and the darkness took over the day. Biting his lips, Jaejoong took a deep breath.

He’s alone but he knew deep down he’s not. Everyone was standing by their own position and their plan was supposed to be perfect, especially with Archangels on their side now. Nothing should go wrong. All Jaejoong had to do was to make sure the Demon King couldn’t feel a trace of his thought and feelings when he was possessed.

He could do that; Jaejoong was great at hiding his true feelings; most of it was from practice centuries ago, being a prince and then emperor. Closing his eyes, Jaejoong could feel the bubbling fire almost erupted. Noises started filling the street and he knew it’s almost time.

Yunho’s mass possession worked and he could hear desperate cries and wails beneath him. People were cursing and breaking things. He hated it, but he knew they didn’t have any other choice; this’s the best way with the least victims. He would bear all the sin if that meant they could end this curse.

Circling the angel pendant on his neck, he could feel the metal burnt his skin. Jaejoong smiled to himself before he pulled the pendant off his neck and then the voice started to speak.

<i style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:19.6px;">You’re running out of time…The Demon King’s voice echoed as Jaejoong opened his eyes. He didn’t respond as he waited and then a maddening laugh blinding his sight and everything went dark. His body was taken over and he didn’t fight back; he just stayed there like the Demon King wanted.

Jaejoong could see the Demon King threw the pendant away as he felt a presence behind him. It wasn’t surprising when he saw Yoochun was bowing behind him. It was according to plan.

“Your Highness, I’ve been waiting for you awakening…” Yoochun spoke in respectful voice as the Demon King walked toward his servant. He patted Yoochun on the shoulder before telling him to get up and asked where the others were.

“They’re preparing for the feast. Each one of them is causing havoc as we speak in the city to produce enough energy for the ceremony,” Yoochun answered, head was still bowing.

“And what ceremony are we talking about?” the Demon King asked using Jaejoong’s voice and it hurt; because Jaejoong had to feel all the sickening emotions through his vein, each one of them.

“Centuries have given me and the others enough wisdom,” Yoochun spoke,” We’ve done our homework as your faithful servant and we know you need a lot of negative energy from human to summon the Hell Gate to end the world.”

“I didn’t know you’ve learnt so much knowledge and courtesy, Yoochun,” the Demon King spoke,” Because few days ago, all of you were still planning to seal me away…”

“I took no part in such thing and I’ve made the others learnt their place,” Yoochun simply said as the Demon King smiled. Jaejoong could feel deep inside the Demon King bought it. It was the right choice to make Yoochun spoke the Demon King alone.

“You’re earning back your place as my favorite one,” the Demon King spoke,” You always know what you’re doing…”

“I’m honored,” Yoochun bowed again. The Demon King waved before he jumped over the building as Yoochun followed. So far, Jaejoong could sense the Demon King didn’t know their plan yet, especially when the Demon King stopped on a wide public park they pointed out as the perfect place for the Demon King to call the Hell Gate. That thing was tremendously huge according to Junho after all.

“Call the others,” the Demon King commanded as Yoochun felt a power bind him inside out. He could feel himself talking to the others using temporary telepathy skill, almost like Changmin’s. But as soon as the message was sent; he lost it. It didn’t take than a minute before Yunho, Junsu, and Changmin came.

“I’ve always dreamt of today,” the Demon King spoke as he moved in circle around his servants,” I have been searching for vessel with good servants and the five of you fit it. You all love each other so much to betray one another. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt Jaejoong. I will even let you speak with him once in a while if you behave.”
