Seventeen: A Demonic Prophecy

The Locket Speaks

Changbin- ok. So we have an issue.

Han-what now?

Changbin-Seventeen found out that y/n was the Heir. they are taking her away to some unnamed location.

Han-aghhhhhhhh! (throws book)

Felix-calm down, hyung! We can fix this!

Han-we have two weeks! Two weeks!

Changbin-we could follow them. . .

Han-you do realize that the Guardians of the Veil are here now, right?

Felix- yes.

Han-this is horrible!

Felix-yes. . .we better fix this before Bang Chan finds out.

At a Hotel. . .

Rosé-aish. Why won't she pick up?

Jisoo-hopefully, she's alright.

Jennie-maybe she's napping.

Rosé- I don't think so. She hasn't answered for 3 hours.

Jisoo-call her again.

Rosé tries to no avail.

Rosé-this isn't like her!

Jihyo-girls? What's the matter?

Jisoo-Lisa hasn't responded for 3 hours. She promised to call us at 1:00 PM but it's 4 already and she hasn't responded.

At that moment. . .

*ring

Rosé-oh! That must be her! I will be right back!

Rosé slips behind a curtained room, and answers the call.

Lisa-Rosé . . .

Rosé-Lisa? What's wrong?

Lisa-y/n . . .

Rosé-what happened?! Are you okay?

Lisa-she. . .

Rosé-Lisa! Answer already!

Lisa-they found out.

Rosé-No. . . they didn't.

Lisa- they took her away.

Rosé-where?

Lisa-I don't know.

Rosé-are you okay?

Lisa-kinda. I am practically under house arrest.

Rosé-why do I hear water in the background?

Lisa-i'm in the bathroom. I am taking this call in secret because I am technically not supposed to have any phones with me.

Rosé-Lisa, do you have any idea where y/n may be?

Lisa-she said something about the Isle. and the Mer.

Rosé-them?

Lisa-yeah. The Mer.

Rosé-their kind is really finicky.

Lisa- I think it is one of the islands, near Japan.

Rosé-about what time did she leave?

Lisa-about 2 ½ hours ago. I couldn't call you because Joshua kept trailing me around.

Rosé-i see. And you said Japan right?

Lisa-yes. . . oh! I need to go. Joshua is knocking.

Rosé-stay safe! We are leaving now!

In the Seventeen mansion. . .

Joshua-Lisa? What is taking you so long?

(Lisa makes fake barfing noises. )

Joshua-Lisa? What is going on? Are you sick?

Lisa-beughhh! I feel horrible. . .

Joshua-Lisa! I am coming in!

Lisa hides the phone in her jacket, and pretends to be ill.

Joshua-aigoo, here I will carry you.

Lisa-aughh.

Joshua lays here down.

Joshua-rest, alright? I will get some tea for you.

Lisa- mmm.

Joshua-Woozi! (runs down the hallway.)

Lisa-phew. That was close.

Meanwhile. . .

The salty air stings as it whips your face. Seagulls caw as they circle the waves, hunting for food. Although you wear a wool coat, and gloves you still feel the iciness piercing your skin. You stomp your feet, trying to warm them. The boat, the Watcher, continues it's fast pace through the waves, and you wish that it would slow down. Your destination was Urume Island, one of the uninhabited islands near Japan. You glanced behind you. S.Coups was still sitting on the deck chair, watching you.

Well this was going to be an issue. How the heck were you supposed to escape to the Mer if you were being watched 24/7?

Joshua-guys, it's dinner! Brr. it's cold! (rushes back inside)

S.coups-c'mon y/n.

Y/n-okay. . .

S.coups gets up and walks toward the door. Suddenly something falls out of S.coups coat pocket. . .the Locket of Earheart. You quickly retrieve it.

???-flee now.

y/n-Sekhmet. . .

Sekhmet-yes.

y/n-were you that voice in the library?

Sekhmet-yes.

y/n-wait, but how could I communicate with you even without the Locket?

Sekhmet-the ability runs in your family bloodline, however it is easier for me to communicate through a relic, such as this Locket.

????-jump, Kid!

????-I can curse them, if you want.

Sekhmet-Ares! Eris! Can both of you Shut UP?

???-shall I muddle their minds?

????-more souls. Lovely.

Sekhmet- be QUIET!

????-chaosssss. Yessss.

Sekhmet-yes, Apophis we know.

y/n-wait what? I thought this Locket could only communicate with you, Sekhmet.

Eris-no. The Locket of Earheart is distinct because it can communicate with all of us.

Ares-jump, Kid. this is your chance!

Sekhmet - Ares is right. As soon as you land on that island, you will have no chance of escaping.

You glance back at the dark, feisty and cold waters with skepticism.

y/n-even if I succeed in the jump, how can I bear the freezing temperatures?

Sekhmet-we will help you.

y/n-how can I trust you?

Loki-what's your other choice?

Sekhmet-Nyx, where are Seventeen's whereabouts?

Nyx-y/n must hurry. The tall one is walking towards us.

Sekhmet- go now!

You hear the creaking of the stairs, as Mingyu ascends toward you.

It was now or never.

You take a deep breath, gripped the Locket tightly, ran toward the rail, and jumped into the icy waters.

Mingyu opened the door, to see the seagulls, chairs, and empty rail, and no sign of you.
