After 5 exhausting hours and breaks, they made it to the entrance of the town. Jeongin recognized the entrance immediately, figuring it was the path he exited the city through. It was all familiar, the towns dark streets, it's brick buildings where leaves grew up against it.
"This is it, Ravenclaw" Felix spoke, walking inside the town, with a taken aback Jeongin strolling behind him. The surroundings were pretty,.more pretty than he'd seemed to pass out on before.
Jeongin couldn't help but smile..his red puffy eyes from crying looking over the banners and poster, announcing festivals, elections, and entertainment ads. He was in awe. The place seemed to be far more old than glasglow, which was weird since it was the only town connected to the outside world.
Felix didn't really want to wait on the younger, so he continued walking, hearing the quick footsteps of Jeongin catching up, rather repeatedly than once.
Soon they made it to centrum, and Jeongin could spot all the people and stores he had walked past 9 months ago..he could see the top of a church behind a few trees, and he assumed somewhere in there..laid his deceased parents. He couldn't help but to sigh at the memory, but quickly pushed it away, knowing that they were never really there for him.
It wasn't because Jeongin ought to go there..but maybe someday he'll visit their grave, to see what kind of miserable church and stones that were picked out for them..even though he didn't like his parents, he couldn't believe his family would choose the forest possible church in the country to bury them, which just showed they had zero interest in keeping him for long too. A heavy sigh escaped his red lips, stopping when Felix turned around to face him, tilting his head towards a door going underground.
"It's in there..you should go first..they need to see who awaits them first" Felix spoke, as he tilted his head away from the black door with tinted windows, an old wooden sign spelled out 'Rosemary' with fading gold paint.
Jeongin hesitantly stepped down the few stairs, holding the plant close to him, but also far away enough to not be stabbed by the sharp thorns it had grown. He sighed as he turned the rusty doorknob, not knowing what hid behind the creaking door. Felix stood behind him as he proceeded to take small steps down the stairs, following the younger inside the warm room.
To Jeongin's surprise, the room was nicely decorated. It had an old couch, dark green walls with holes in them, wooden floor that creaked if you stepped on it. And a beige carpet beneath the couch. The door slammed shut behind them, scaring the younger one the most, but Felix didn't seem that faced by it, as he looked ahead of him.
"Oh Felix, I didn't expect you to come so soon sweetie" the voice of an elder woman spoke, as the younger froze, feeling the heavy presence of what he assumed was the Rosemary.
"Well, it's not me who needs help..it's him" he pointed at Jeongin, who turned around in both hesitation and curiosity. He gulped as he looked at the short, bigger sized woman with Grey hair. She looked rather comforting and had softer features surrounded by wrinkles.
She turned her attention to the young boy, who visibly gulped. He felt I timidated by the elder woman, who seemed to have her eyes stuck in a small glare.it cause Jeongin to shift uncomfortably on his feet, as he waited patiently for the elder woman to speak.
"Hm..you are indeed new, aren't you..you have such nice features for a young man like you" the woman spoke with a soft smile, pinching his cheek for a short second.
"His name is Jeongin..he is 18, and is associated with Hyunjin ma'am" Felix spoke, a glare stuck in his eyes as he looked at the younger, who felt as if he was being targeted by a wolf.
The woman's face expression fell quickly, whispering something beneath her breath which concerned Jeongin.
"I don't like people who are associated with witches..you know that Felix..it's different when it's you..but you brought an unknown boy who is associated either that man" the woman notified the oldest of the two. Causing Jeongin to back away a little, since he didn't know what to do.
"He is a Human ma'am..Hyunjin saved his life 9 months ago, by helping him out. He was injured, yet continued to go against everything Hyunjin said..ma'am don't expect any positives from thus guy..he might be Hyunjin's curse" Felix spoke, letting the woman get a form of personalized information.
"If that's so...I'll be waiting in my office, once your ready and get the tense boy to calm down..send him in..alone".
