fire, wind, ice

"Who are you?"

Chen grip in Aera's shoulder was getting tighter. She tried to open her mouth but no sound produced, which not helped either since Chen somehow seemed to irritate.

"When I'm asking you. You should answer me." His voice was rising up. Tao and Sehun started to worry Chen might hurt Aera again. She was badly injured and weak enough, and they shouldn't turn this mission into some serial killer task.

"Chen…" Tao began. But Chen ignored it.

He was getting impatient and he would do one thing to find the answer of his question. So he dropped his left hand from her shoulders and caused the other team members exhaled in relieved. Then she grabbed Aera's left palm, opening her tight clench and cursing in the process. He didn't know what is it that got into him but he decided to do one thing that might be cleared his strange experience before.

He would do the same thing which the girl with that black dress did to him. With that he raised her opened palm up until it reached in the same level as his cheek.

"What are you doing?" Sehun asked in panic, he step ahead but it was too late. Chen already made her touch his bare skin.

"Stop!" Tao and Sehun both half yelled to prevent Chen. 

Chen expected that it would just turn out like the way he was hoping, in contrast with his thought Aera's body jolted up. She was just sting for the third time that day. This moment she couldn't bear it any longer. So she fell down to the floor with a loud thump completely unconscious, leaving Chen who seemed to be in a quite shock.

"She's not her." Chen whispered. 

Meanwhile Tao and Sehun rushed to Aera. Sehun worriedly chencked on her hearbeat and Tao tried to feel her breath. She still alive, it was a fortunate thing she was a quite powerfull wielder. If not, then she probably on the dying state at the moment or worst had gone.

"What is wrong with you? You sting her just because she is not telling her identity?" Tao asked and looked up to Chen who still frozen in his position. 

Chen was not bothered to look back at Tao; he kept his eyes focused on the wall where Aera was pinned by him a few seconds ago. 

"I thought I found her." Chen mumbled.

"What?" Asked Tao. He glanced a little to Sehun who seemed confused. 

"The girl. The one with the dark eyes."Replied Chen now rubbing his temple, completely did not understand of his previous act. He thought all of these could drive him crazy.  

His friends look confusedly at him. Chen seemed to tell them nonsense or purely, things that they didn't understand at all. He now seemed lost and troubled. Maybe sending him to the lab hunting was not a good idea. Maybe this has something to do with his family problem or other. So then, they decided to shrug it off.

"We're going to take her back to our team. Leader must now what we should do."Sehun remarked, he tried to stand up as he carried Aera's body. 

Chen turned his head and looked to both of his friend. "But why? We can just interrogate her when she awake."

Tao now bulged his eyes in surprised, he couldn't believe what Chen stated after what happened. 

"No. What you did was not interrogating, it was torturing process in a killing attempt. You shouldn't use your power to someone who did not even listed in the killing list. That's the rule, Prince." Tao told Chen and called Chen by his status as a prince. He reminded him about their rule, and a prince like Chen should have know it better.

"Let's go. We can reach the team before night if we go now." Sehun started to walk away and followed by Tao, leaving Chen who just stood there. 

"You need to be our navigator Sehun, here let me carry her."Tao gestured his body and Sehun willingly gave Aera's body to him. He then looked back and realized Chen still unmoved. 

"Prince. Let's go!"He said out loud and Chen finally started to move. "Don't forget to close door, don't make other people get suspicious." He added, Chen just nodded and close the door once they were outside. 

Then, Sehun quickly walked outside the fence and saw a teenage girl around 15 walked to his direction . 

"Hey." Sehun greeted once the girl in front of him. She blushed a little and it was quite obvious that she already caught into Sehun's charm even before he gets started.

"Hello..."She greeted back. Sehun smile a little and her cheek get reddened. He then looked straight into her eyes. The girl looked back to his eyes, big mistake. Sehun smile turned into a smirk  and without doubt again, compelling her.

"You will go into this house, and guard it. Just think it as it yours. You will do it until I come back and tell you to stop. Understand?" He pointed to Aera's house where Tao still carried Aera's body and Chen was standing a little bit behind him. Tao was looking to him with a littke crooked smile and Chen seemed disturbed, obviously.

"Yes." The girl nodded and her eyes turned deeper a shade just like Sehun's when he finshed compelled her. 

"Tsk tsk what a scary power" Tao shook his head as he watched the girl started to walk toward the house, passing him and Chen before opened the front door and closed it behind her. 

The three of them then started to walk away. They took the route where only a few people seemed to pass it, clearly not wanting to draw any attention and curiosity to them. 

Mostly they would walked behind a big building or passed the smallest and quite road or alley. Sometimes when they unlucky , they have to let Sehun to do the job and compel a few people which actually not good since it drained his power.

Three hours later they made it to arrive in their team place. It was amazing how they could arrive in a short time. Maybe that was because they already recognize the route in the forest, since last time they practically going all around in here to figure the way out. Another reason why they could make it in such a short time was because of Chanyeol. 

Tao was just joking around as Chen took his part to carry Aera's body and he said about how the other members might be playing around outside or practice at the moment. So, Sehun tried it out. He tried to find their other members voices in his head. Suprisingly, he heard them. Well actually just Chanyeol since he probably shouting and yelling around in happiness, drowning Xiumin's and Kyungsoo's voice.

"We're back!" Sehun shouted out loud as they came out from the thick piles of trees and arrived in front of the lake that located near their cave. 

Chanyeol indeed was in the middle of practicing with Xiumin. He seems to be melting all of the ice, well scratch that; melt all the lake's water that already turned into ice by Xiumin. Kyungsoo watched him carefully and Xiumin was practicing with his gun and sword, aiming it to nearest trees that surround them.

"Leader, their back!" Kyungsoo exclaimed but Xiumin groaned. 

"Please stop calling me that" He said in annoyed tone but stopped his activity anyway. "Chanyeol, stop it! I'm positive the lake will turn into glacier soon enough." He added when he saw Chanyeol kept heating up the lake temperature as the for some reason the water keep turning into ice everytime he was able to melting it. Chanyeol pouted, but he stopped.

"Yes leader." He said and Xiumin deeply sighed. It will be hard to make them stop calling him that.

"Wait, something is not right." Kyungsoo suddenly said, his eyes scanned three of his "just arrived" friend and notice the figure that carried by Chen. 

On his instict. He stomped his foot a little and make a little move with his hand. The ground trembled a bit before it created a little pile of soil below his feet. Then it moved, as if there were something really big moving as well underneath it. It glided away like a big earthquake was hitting it and carried Kyungsoo who seemed so calm in the top of it. It almost looked like as if he rode the ground surface. 

Tao and Sehun watched in amazement as Kyungsoo who practically 100 meters away was already in front of them in less than 5 seconds. Tao clearly jealous with this since if he had that kind of ability, he wouldn't be tired walking all around with his legs.

"What's that?" He pointed his curiosity and watched Chen that stood behind Tao and Sehun.

"You mean who." Tao started. "That's a wielder, we find her on the way to find the ship."

"A wielder?" Kyungsoo asked in surprise.

"Yes. We should talk in the cave." Sehun suggested and Kyungsoo nodded, he made his own way back with the same way again and stopped right in front of Xiumin before stepped out from the ground pile which quickly back to normal.

He told Xiumin about what their other members brought and Xiumin nodded, gesturing Chanyeol and him to get back inside the cave. Both of them obeyed and they wait until Chen, Tao and Sehun entered too.

Tao and Sehun quickly told them about the wholestory, and to Chen's surprise they left out the part when Chen stinged Aera until she passed out just because she didn't answer who she was. 

Xiumin just nodded and told them to wait until Aera wake up, that way they could investigated her.
