Taeyeon was wounded. Her brain wouldn't listen to her, her body wouldn't move the way she wanted. Her ears still ringing and her whole body ached,

even breathing took a lot of strength.

The room was still white by the fog, blurred Taeyeon's eyes. Taeyeon crawled behind a pillar, hiding again. She knew it would be useless but she was

desperate.

Princess circled the room, searching pillar by pillar. She switched her ammunition to her live ones. Princess heard Taeyeon dragging her body from

across the room. She quickly turned around and fired.

Taeyeon grunted. With her limited senses thanks to the Pandora's effects, she barely depleted the bullets with her mind. She got on her feet and ran

aimlessly. She hit the wall and then a bullet went through her stomach and another one grazed her shoulder.

She roared and rolled her body away. She hid behind a pillar.

"You can't run!" Princess screamed.

Taeyeon was desperate. She released lightnings from her body to random directions. Inaccurate but enough to stopped Princess from getting too close.

Taeyeon coughed and she shook her head hard.

"Damn it," she hissed.

Her head was ringing like crazy and the worst thing was she couldn't see. The Pandora had rendered her visions all white and blur. Her ears could only

receive static noise. Taeyeon's senses had gone haywire.

Princess saw Taeyeon's arm behind a pillar near the exit door, she raised her rifle, and she aimed. This is her chance, she could kill Kim Taeyeon.

"Yuri will be next," Princess said.

Suddenly the white smoke that covered the room turned red and the air became thicker. Princess pulled back to the entrance, cautiously. Then the air

seemed to be sucked in to the centre of the room. Princess was suffocated.

"What the hell?" Princess pressed her back against the exit and then suddenly the smoke exploded.

Taeyeon roared in pain. She felt her whole power flowing out of her body uncontrollably fast and painful, tearing down her skin. Something else took

over. She felt her body moving but she couldn't stop it.

Taeyeon struggled with her mind, forcing herself free from whatever taking over. She gritted her teeth and then the fire exploded.

Taeyeon lied helpless on the floor. Her breath was fast and her eyes were closed. Taeyeon had lost control over her body for a second there and almost

burned herself alive along with the Princess. It could've been worse, the explosion could blast through the door and burn even Yuri, Jessica and Eeteuk

on the other end.

She pulled her body to the corner of the room, leaned on the wall. She looked to her own hands.

"What the hell did you do?" she was terrified by her own body.

Princess was lying unconscious at the corner of the room.

Did I kill her?

Taeyeon saw Princess's back rose up and down, slowly but that was enough proof that she was still breathing.

The door leading to the deeper part of the basement collapsed. Yuri, Jessica and Eeteuk, carrying Siwon on his back, came in.

"Taengoo!" he called. Taeyeon looked up.

"Oppa, hey, you saved Siwon-oppa," she smiled.

Yuri and Jessica came in too.

"You okay, Taengoo?" asked Yuri.

Taeyeon stood up and nodded, "I'm fine, just a little scared."

Eeteuk examined her a bit. Then her eyes shifted to the unconscious girl, Princess. He nodded off, "okay, let's get the hell out of here."

Taeyeon smiled.

**

The sun had set. Tiffany stood in the gazebo, waiting. She sighed and sighed. She hated waiting. Two years ago she would be with them, fighting the

organization, running and saving their comrades. Share the joy if they succeeded and patted each other back if the organization prevails. Now she could

only go to the church, pray as hard as she could, go back and wait.

Tiffany then played with her key necklace, the proof that she was still alive. God had given her a second chance in the world but in exchange He gave

Taeyeon a cursed life. Her life concealed in a mere padlock necklace.

Eeteuk came back to the house, landing at the prairie. A second later, Taeyeon flew down with Siwon in her hands.

Tiffany jumped the gazebo hedges and ran over to them.

"Oppa! Taetae!"

Taeyeon dropped Siwon on the ground and sighed, "Oppa, you're heavy."

Siwon just smiled. He was still dizzy.

"You got hit," Tiffany checked on Taeyeon's bleeding shirt.

"Yeah, the Princess. It's healed though," Taeyeon smiled.

Another pair of lightnings struck near her, this time Yuri and Jessica.

Jessica hadn't fully grasped the feeling of flying yet and she always landed roughly. She stood up and dusted the dirt off her jeans. Yuri came walking

toward her, fast and furious. She swung her hand across Jessica's face, so hard Jessica lost her balance and fell.

"I told you to stay home!" she yelled.

"Stay home!?" Jessica stood up and yelled back, "I can't stay home while you guys were out there!"

"You were endangering yourself! Pulling me and Oppa's feet!" Yuri raised her tone even more.

Eeteuk butted in, "actually, she did help."

"Shut up, Oppa!" Yuri turned to Eeteuk before she once again glared at Jessica, "you were reckless, Jessica."

"Do you expect me to wait and do nothing while you guys were out there risking your life?!" Jessica was about to cry.

"And just how do you think I would feel if you're dead?" Yuri hissed.

Yuri turned around to the house, hurriedly. Jessica clenched her teeth.

"And just who do you think you are to tell me what to do!?" Jessica shouted.

Yuri opened the door and held it open. Jessica was angry and suddenly a tear escaped her eye.

Yuri turned around, her face softened and she looked so disappointed.

"Why do you think I saved you at the orphanage for, Jessica?" she went inside the house and slammed the door.

Jessica wiped her tears. Eeteuk, Tiffany and Siwon were looking at her.

"Sorry?," she mumbled.

Tiffany smiled.

"Hi, um?," Siwon stuttered, "I don't know you but uh? thanks for saving me."

Jessica smiled vaguely and then she fainted.

**

Jessica opened her eyes. She was on her bed, still at the house. She rubbed her weary eyes and the bracelet Yuri gave her grazed her nose.

The craving was sloppily made but beautiful. Jessica smiled. But then she remembered the argument, her smile turned sour. Jessica untied the root

string.

I hate her, I won't wear it!

She slammed the bracelet on her desk.

There was a set of new clothes and a glass of milk. It must be Yuri.

"Yuri never gives me milk," maybe Yuri was apologizing with the milk. At that thought she smiled again.

"Ah, well?," she took the bracelet and tied it on her wrist again.

After done washing up, Jessica climbed down the stairs and found the rest of the house was eating breakfast.

"Morning," she said.

Everyone looked up and greeted her back. There were Siwon, Eeteuk, Taeyeon and of course Tiffany was beside her but she can't find Yuri.

Jessica took a seat beside Tiffany.

"You feel better?" Tiffany asked.

Jessica nodded, "I am, thanks." Jessica remembered that she collapsed after her little fight with Yuri. "How did I end up in my room anyway?"

Jessica was hoping Tiffany to say that Yuri brought her to her room. Hearing that will proofing that Yuri's anger was just temporal.

"Eeteuk-oppa carried you," Tiffany smiled.

"Oh."

"You like the milk?" Tiffany asked again.

"You made the milk?"

"Uh huh."

Jessica disappointed even more.

Siwon waved at her, "hello."

"Oh, hi."

"My name's Siwon by the way. We never really introduced ourselves properly," he smiled.

Jessica smiled back, "I'm Jessica."

Yuri came out from the kitchen with a tray full of foods.

There she is.

"So I heard you are a Potential like Taeyeon," said Siwon.

Jessica confused, "I am?"

"Oh, yeah," Eeteuk nodded.

Just then, she felt an eerie feeling from Eeteuk.

"You can move things with your mind," Eeteuk then explained how Jessica threw Junsu with her mind and stomped him with the iron door.

"Oh, Jessica, I need to talk to you later. If it's okay," Taeyeon said.

"Sure," Jessica smiled.

"So we have two Potentials among us now, we have the upper hand," Tiffany chirped.

"Yeah, but if they don't use their brain well they will be dead and be of no use to us anymore," Yuri dropped a plate to Jessica's lap.

What the--? This girl!

Jessica watched Yuri passing the food to Siwon, then to Eeteuk, Taeyeon and Tiffany.

"Wow, what's this? Ramen? You feeling lazy today?" Taeyeon frowned.

"Shut up!" Yuri walked back to the kitchen.

"Ya! Why are you yelling at me for? Don't put me in between your lover's dispute!" Taeyeon pouted.

"We're not--!" Jessica and Yuri yelled at the same time. Realizing that, the two looked at each other and then looked away as fast.

Tck.

Jessica took a peek at Yuri's wrist, no bracelet. That made Jessica mad like hell. She wanted to storm off out there, locked herself in her room and

throws her bracelet far away. But she felt like she was still new at this family, it would be inappropriate to walk away from the family breakfast,

moreover to slam her room door.

So she just looked down and pressed her palm to her eyes, plugging her tears.
