Angel's punishment
"Hey hey, Put your guns down!" Nolan said in a loud voice jumping from his seat and coming toward them while others stood up as well. "She wasn't bitten by any of them!" He argued with them. "Look at her foot." The translator pointed his index toward her left foot where the bite mark was, just on her boots. He shifted his eyes towards where the translator pointed and his eyes got wider because they didn't talk about it to anyone since they came here. Vin, JJ, and Jose came to her and stood beside her sitting figure.
"There's only bite marks on her boots. She was saved because her boots were thick." Jose explained to the translator while she started to untie her boot's laces again to show them but she seemed calm and was sitting on the chair like her life wasn't depending on it. She took off her boots and showed her foot to the translator and the soldiers. "She is okay, Leave her alone." Vin said, confidently and the soldiers lowered their guns but didn't put them back.
"We apologize but we were informed about it." The translator said and went back to his old sweet personality as if nothing happened a minute ago. "But we will have to discuss it with the other officers. We will let you know about the decision made." He said and gestured to the soldiers to come with him. As soon as they left Vin and JJ glared at Sam along with Jose while Tiara was looking down to process what just happened and feeling kinda lazy to put on the boots again.
"We didn't expect this from you." Vin said in Korean, Defeated. "You shouldn't have done this. She could have lost her life for nothing!" JJ yelled at Sam in his mother language as well. "You seriously have gone nuts. Do you have a brain to use or not?" Jose asked him utter disgust. "She can be dangerous." Sam replied to them in English, stuttering. "She isn't dangerous but you are!" Jose screamed at him in rage and Everyone else was confused about the situation trying to figure out what the sudden chaos was about.
"What happened after we left? Why there's a bite mark on her shoes?" KR went between Jose and Sam and asked Jose. Jose just glared at him while KR wasn't afraid of his glares because he knew his glares can't kill him but Vin pulled KR away from Jose to tell him everything that happened back there. He started to explain everything in his mother language and everyone listened to him including the parents.
'I hate him. I saved them all but he did this to me at the end. I knew humans were selfish, careless, ungrateful, and evil but it still hurts.' Tiara was busy thinking about everything she has done while the chaos was happening in front of her. From outside, she looked silent, blank, and at peace but only she knew what she was going through. The feeling of betrayal from someone she protected for the past few days was something she never imagined. 'I don't want to think about it but now, I get the answer why this is supposed to be a punishment for Angels to live as a human on earth. I used to think that it was stupid to free an Angel from their duties to send them to earth after taking their powers as a punishment but I guess it really is a punishment we can get ever. We have to endure everything including betrayal, Evilness, Lies, Hurt, Pain, and Death in this punishment not including how much time it will take. However, I did sin to be here and I shall endure everything now.' Her mind was filled with everything she did in this lifetime.
After listening to everything from Vin, everyone was shocked and looked at Tiara with pity in their eyes. Sam's mother stood up, went to him, and slapped him hard enough to make a sound that echoed in the whole room like a thud while his father followed his mother. "How can you do this!" She asked her son in Korean. "How can you be so heartless? She can lose her life because of you! I didn't raise you to be like this!" Mr. Kim scolded his son. "How can you do this to her while she protected all of us?" Nolan asked him in a serious tone.
Before, Anyone else could say anything else the gate opened again revealing the translator, some soldiers, and an unknown man who was wearing a stethoscope around his neck and holding a small bag indicating that he was a doctor. They came close to Tiara while TR-X and Velvet's Brothers walked toward her as well not including Sam. Tiara rose her head up to look at the men around her, still sitting on her chair blankly. She was surrounded by tall men around her, on her right there were the ones who were giving the translator and soldiers death glares while they were looking at them blankly not caring about their glares.
"We want to check her blood, and temperature, if everything is alright then we will let her go after monitoring her for some days." The translator told them shocking them that Tiara will have to stay for a few more days while they will be monitoring her. She didn't say anything, no protest, no words, nothing. The doctor took a seat beside Tiara and opened his little bag to take an empty injection. "But you should leave her after checking her temperature and blood." KR protested on behalf of her. "I'm not the one who decided it." The translator answered him shortly.
Vin brought his hand in front of her face and she looked at him. "You can… hold my hand. It will pain." He said gesturing toward the injection on the doctor's hands. "I'm strong." She replied to him shortly and gave him a small smile, thanking him to be thoughtful of her. The doctor dug the injection into her flesh after wrapping a cuff around below her elbow. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened them again to look at the injection sucking her blood into it.
Her blood was red but in the darkest red ever, even more darker than a wine-red color close to black but red could be seen in the corners of the syringe. "Woah, You have very good hemoglobin in your blood even when you are skinny." The doctor complimented her. "Thanks." She said casually. "It is very rare to see this type of blood in this generation, you know?" The doctor said again while he pulled the injection out of her. 'And it is very rare for doctors just to keep quiet." She gritted her teeth subtly and thought. The doctor rose his head to her face and she nodded smiling forcefully quickly.
"Let's check your temperature." He said while pulling a temporal artery thermometer out of his bag. He placed it on her forehead softly and clicked the button to check her body temperature. "It is normal." He exclaimed and pulled the thermometer away from her forehead before standing up. He took his belongings along with her blood and left the place with some soldiers. "You need to come with us." The translator told her.
"I have a few questions and conditions." She said in a low voice looking down at the floor and the translator laughed at her while the others were still glaring at him telling him to stop laughing and listen to her. "Do you think you are in a position to question or put conditions?" He asked her ignoring everyone's glares.
"Do you think you have a right to cage me while I am not a citizen of China? Do you want a cold war to start?" She asked him crossing her arms in front of her chest, leaning back on the chair, and crossing her legs while staring at him. He went silent after listening to her and she smirked at him.
"I know, India and China are not on good terms. So, Just think what will they do if they hear that you caged an Indian against their will here?" She playfully raised her eyebrows and poked her cheeks with her tongue and this time TR-X and Velvet Brothers were lost too looking at how she was threatening them looking like a cute devil sitting like a queen on that chair. "W-what are your questions and conditions?" The translator was scared thinking of the consequences. She gave him a big satisfied grin filling with the pride of victory and then she looked at the singers on her right side who were looking shocked at her come back. She wiggled her eyebrows once then winked at them playfully flattering their hearts and all of them blushed a little at her savageness.
"Nothing much." She started to say after she moved her gaze back to the translator. "How many days they will keep me here?" She asked her first question. "Around 4-5 days. They think that you will turn into a zombie if you are infected by then." He answered her like a scared kitty.
"Okay, How are they going to monitor me?" She asked her second question and the singers' eyes were shifting from her to the translator. "They are going to put you inside a room which will be made of glass from three sides." He answered her, shocking everyone including her.
"O..okay, But I want females to look over me. I won't feel comfortable otherwise." She put her first condition, confidently. "I will talk about it to the officers here." He nodded his head. "She should have some privacy because she is a girl!" Ian said in a loud voice. "You can thank your friend for it. We will need to invade her privacy a little but of course, she can go to the washroom to do her personal stuff anytime." The translator said in a sarcastic manner and looked back at Tiara.
"Cool, I don't have any other questions for now." She exclaimed and sat straight on the chair. "My conditions are… first, I want females to monitor me as I already told you. Second, I want a charging point inside that room to charge my phone because I am not going inside that room without my phone. Third, I want good food. I won't settle down for anything but good and delicious food. I want three-time meals a day and snacks in the evening. Not just a packet of biscuits or chips but pasta, pizza, noodles, or anything else in my snacks." She counted all her conditions.
"Wait, You count those things as your snacks?" Ezra asked her, shocked. "Yeah? I always have snacks in the evening." She said proudly. "And?" The translator asked her to continue her condition. "That's it." She shrugged and yawned. "She is really high maintenance. No wonder her blood was that much strong." The translator said with a weird expression on his face. "I will talk to the officers about it." He said and left the room with the rest of the soldiers. "I wonder how you are this skinny even when you eat this much." Ian wondered and asked her with a confused look. "I don't know as well. You guys should sit down and rest." She suggested them and everyone agreed with her.
No one was talking to Sam at all. he was just sitting there with a blank expression and thinking about his decisions even though, His parents and the rest of the other old fellow taunted him from time to time not ready to forgive him anytime soon.
After, Half an hour the gate opened again. A few officers came along with the translator. "They agreed to your conditions and they are here to take you to the room." The translator informed her. She gulped down and looked at the others beside her knitting her eyebrows together while they all were looking at her with worried and sad expressions. She smiled at them and stood up from her chair to go with them.
They brought her to a large white room which had a glass room in a corner. They showed her a way into that room and then she noticed every detail of that room. A single bed in a corner, a table at the center, and a cupboard at another side. She was looking around when her eyes fell on a door to another room. "What's that gate for?" She pointed her index finger toward that door. "That's the washroom." He replied to her shortly and a smirk appeared on his face. She nodded and went towards it to check it. She opened the gate and looked around the washroom but there wasn't much to see because it was very small with no windows. 'At least, It's clean.' She sighed at her luck.
"Okay, You can go then." She said shrugging her shoulders and he nodded before leaving her alone in the room. She walked to the tiny bed and threw herself on it.
Meanwhile, Everyone was screaming, taunting, and fighting with Sam in the waiting room and he was just listening to them without saying anything regretting his decision as well but it was too late for him to realize. He knew he did wrong, he betrayed her but he was shocked that she didn't say anything to him not even a single angry stare at him which made him even more guilty. She has been nothing but good to him since they met but still, he betrayed her and forced her to stay here against her will.
The gate opened again and the translator came to them after leaving Tiara alone. "You all can go to your home by tomorrow." He informed them with a smile. "We can't go!" Jose quickly raised his voice at him. "Right, We can't leave that kid alone here." KR said nodding his head. "She doesn't like… to be called a kid." Vin stopped him from calling her a kid. "Does it matter? She isn't here right now." KR argued with him. "But.. still." Vin said hesitantly.
"Stop fighting over the kid thing!" Nolan stopped them from arguing. "We aren't leaving." JJ said calmly and made it clear that it was their final decision. "Exactly, We can't leave her alone with all strangers around her." Ezra argued with the translator. "Aren't you all strangers to her as well?" The translator asked him playfully, there was a smirk on his lips.
"Wipe that smirk off your face." Jose said in a loud angry voice because he found his smirk dirty indicating that he wasn't any good to Tiara. "Are you all going to stay here?" The translator ignored Jose and asked. "Yes, Is that a problem?" KR noticed his dirty smirk as well and asked after Jose mentioned his smirk.
"No, But then you will have to pay for your own flight tickets." The translator said. "That's not a problem for us." Ian shrugged. "Very well. I hope your stay here will be good then." The translator bowed his head to greet them but the dirty smirk on his face could be seen.
The men were disgusted by his behavior and worried even more about Tiara. They exchanged glances at each other before looking at the closed gate again. They were curious about his intentions and the reason behind his smirk but they couldn't do anything rather than watch over her and make sure that no one here try to harm her in any way because she had already gone through a lot. Humans are more dangerous than zombies because humans use their brains and intentionally harm someone while zombies just use their mouths, legs, and hands to harm someone without thinking anything.
It was a weird feeling inside them that was telling them to keep her safe and not to leave her alone in this situation, she was in this situation because of them after all. "We are allowed to go and visit her, right?" Ian asked confusingly and looked at others who had the question on their minds. "I… hope so." Joy said and everything sighed.
