32- The Undiscovered Power I

Third person's POV

Dungeon감옥

Sitting at the corner of one of the cell rooms, Hurley's hands are hugging her knees as she buries her head beneath them. Her shoulders jerks up and down obviously while at this moment, what she can do is only sobbing and pray for her younger sister's safety.

Her clothes are changed into plain white flannel shirt and dark blue jeans to symbolise a loss of prestige on one person, a prisoner in Ak Yeon although it is quite a set of stylish outfits.

Footsteps are now audible from the main entrance where the door is shut and locked. Then, murmurs of gossips can be heard through the door. Seizing herself from continue crying for nothing, Hurley raises her head and begins to listen as many words as she can.

"...the Devil has summoned the Cupid to misdirect.." This is what she can hear from the first sentence.

"Yeah, I heard that the Cupid has shot the angel and taken him away..."

"Oh my gosh, is the angel dead? Oh I hope he's dead!" Hurley rolls her eyes upon hearing those brainless words while someone steps into the main entrance with the door pushed open. A long and dark shadow of a man is moving steadily towards Hurley's cell alongside with the rhythmic footsteps.

Before the man ables to see her face, Hurley has scrambled hastily towards the corner again and buries her head between her knees, pretending to be sleeping. The footstep stops and a sigh is audible. Yes, the man has reached Hurley's cell. His jingling keys are clinging throughout the hallway which leads to curious glares from other cells until the heavy, metallic door is pushed open.

"Sir Bogum has asked me to bring you to him." The man informs formally as he squats down in front of the girl, his face shows pity and concern.

"What does he want from me now...?" Hurley can't help but sobs out her question which contains the eagerness on exact answers. "Aren't he.. Aren't he clear that I'm not gifted with that stupid ability since the experiment done on those freakishly terrible day?" She blurts out regardless of who is in front of her.

What she think about her life is - it sucks.

During those suffocating days, Bogum has thought that Hurley, being Heidi's sister, she is able to feel her sister's feeling like how soulmates do. Moreover that, he even thinks that she can see what Heidi sees if she concentrates on doing what he tells her to do.

"Miss, I'm sorry but you need to come with me now," utters the man in an uncomfortable way.

Giving out a sigh, Hurley stands up reluctantly as she casts her pleading yet hoping looks at the man. That man says nothing. What he does is handcuffing Hurley without having the courage to look at her. On the other hand, she knows that if she disobeys the orders, it is guaranteed that a punishment will be given onto her. Hence both of them are surrounded by utter silence which draws one towards awkwardness.

Park Bogum

It is boring yet exciting for me to wait for that pretty girl. Tapping on the table with my fingers absentmindedly, my spare hand is propping my left cheek as my vision would never leave the entrance. Not long after, I can hear clinging noises sung by the chains and manacles echoing from the outside. Alongside with it, there are muffled sounds of people's talk which I assume it comes from both my another knight, Lee Taeyong and Hurley.

He's an underworld shifter, which he manages to shift to different animals according to different realms and situations. Mostly, he helps me with the alliance with other underworld forces using his messenger duty. In fact, Taeyong is more successful than my previous knight, Jeon Ryeong as that one has betrayed and even tried to kill me. 

Soon, the door squeaks open when Taeyong opens it, letting in the 'invited' girl. A smirk appears on my face as her eyes are locked onto mine, making her shudder in fright. By the way, she looks quite gorgeous with the shirt and jeans I've specially given to her. I hope she'll like them, although she hates me much.

"Hello, Huurrrleeeyyyy." I greet in a low yet mischievous tone, making her tense while facing towards the ground. "Leave us Taeyong." After noticing my unsatisfied sideways look upon him, Taeyong bows at me immediately before heading out of my office or bedroom if I must say. 

Once both of us are the ones left in the room, a little pitiful feeling rises in me as I glare at the girl, who is standing alone in front and afraid to look at me. I can tell that she has totally put me into her blacklist just like how Santa Clause do with his naughty list.

"Take a seat." I start finally as the air around us is really going to suffocate us to death. Hurley casts me an unreadable look before finding herself a seat on the couch.

"Aren't we going to start now?" She asks in a surprisingly steady tone, which surprises me a little.

"There is someone I want you to meet later." I admit when Taeyong pushes the door again, letting the summoned person in with full respect.

"Bogum-hyung." He says. "Sorry for letting you wait." My eyebrows raise up and down when my lips curl into a forgiving smile. Examining Hurley's expression at the same time, my lips part as a chuckle escapes from them.

"Jung Hoseok?!" is what she exclaims while her shaking index finger is pointing at the said boy.
