Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Dark Orange - Part Two

I wasn't looking anymore, I couldn't look at all. Baekhyun was ruthlessly punching the guy, and none of the boys actually did anything to stop him. Joonmyeon even held the guy with his ropes more so he wouldn't escape, as Baekhyun showered him with punches. I was afraid of this Baekhyun, this version, the exact version that tried to kill me.

"Are you still not going to say anything?" Baekhyun growled like an angered demon, hissing and glaring at the poor guy. When I stared at Rav, he thankfully wasn't bleeding, but he wasn't alright either. His face was starting to swell, and there was an obvious blue color blooming on his cheekbones. I wanted Baekhyun to stop, honestly, but I couldn't. The only way to stop him was by commanding him, and I'm sure that would make our relationship more bumpy than before.

"You care about this more than this guy's wellbeing?" my conscience screamed at me, but I was hesitant, because I wasn't sure if this guy was as innocent as he appeared, and I don't want to put that on the risk of losing what I have between the boys and I. "Practically, you have nothing between you and the boys. They don't even trust you." my more rational side concluded, and I knew this side was right; but what if I'm wrong? What if this isn't worth all of the struggle I would throw myself in?

I saw Baekhyun shooting another punch to the guy's stomach, and I immediately snapped into action when Rav's body bent over in pain. "That's enough, Baekhyun. That's enough damage as it is," I stopped in front of Rav before Baekhyun could send another blood-withering punch, and the look flashing in Baekhyun's eyes were close to flabbergast, pain, and simple betrayal. I felt my heart clench at the sight, especially when I heard a hiss coming from behind me as well.

I spread my arms beside me in emphasis, hoping deep within that I looked as scary as I felt. Baekhyun stared at me deep in the eye for a minute, for two; before scoffing and taking a step forward, like he didn't believe the act I was pulling, but I glared at him. "I said stop, Baekhyun. That's a command," I didn't want to say it, but Baekhyun was wrong, that was not the proper way to do such a thing for a Wielder even if he thought all Wielders are horrible. Baekhyun flinched, and I immediately felt guilty. I wanted to take my words back, but I couldn't, and I felt horrible. Why am I so weak? I saw Baekhyun lower his head in submission, not looking at me but stopping his moves completely.

I heard a sound of running water, and I swiveled around to face Joonmyeon who was retreating his water ropes away and flattening them to the ground. Before they could get sucked through the cracks in the ground, I announced loudly, my eyes still looking at the water. "I didn't tell you to take your ropes back, Joonmyeon. Hold him back," I didn't dare look at Joonmyeon, knowing that I would see the heartbreak in his eyes, because he didn't think I would command him to do anything. I caught the look in Sehun's eyes, however; and he was about to cry. My heart squeezed at the sight.

I turned to look at Rav with a gulp, and I could see the hesitance in his eyes as he stared at me as well. I didn't know what to do now, but I knew that hitting him and asking for his belongings was wrong, even if it clashed with my principles, because I know the cards weren't things to own in the first place. But this Wielder believed that, he had grown believing in that. My parents believe in that as well; but that doesn't mean they are bad people.

"Please, I just want the card. I know you have it," it was pathetic to plead and I know that, but I wasn't pleading to him, it was for him. I knew that eventually, I would just give up and let them do what they want even if it was against my morals.

"Never!" the guy hissed, but then he cracked a small smile that made my blood freeze. "I have been gone for a long time, honey. They would notice I'm gone and they will come for me."

"If you would just give us the card to get this over with, I would let you leave," I bargained, even though I knew deep down that he would refuse. As ridiculous as it seems though: I hoped he wouldn't. Surprisingly, Rav only sighed heavily, giving up, and he looked at me with pleading eyes.
