"Rosie?" Chanyeol whispered.

"You! How dare you come back here!" Lisa was about to attack the person when Seungri, Jiyong and Daesung suddenly blocked her. "Oppa! She's a traitor! She's the one who killed Jennie!"

"She's not Roseanne, Lisa. She's Chaeyoung!" Seungri held on to both Lisa's shoulders. "She just looks like her because Roseanne stole her appearance to get into Beulping. We found her in the basement of Esem when we went there to gather information."

"She's been imprisoned there for fifty years! Roseanne took her identity and also her abilities," Daesung explained further. "Chaeyoung, I know you're still drained but, can you help Jennie? They are supposed to be your sisters anyways."

Chaeyoung immediately nodded and went towards Jennie. She held on to Lisa's hand and pulled her to sit next to Jisoo. She also held her hand.

"Close your eyes and let the magic flow from your bodies towards Jennie," Jiyong instructed.

The three nodded and did what they were told. Light suddenly blasted from them towards the sky.

"What the hell is happening?!" Jungkook blurted out.

"The force... it's too powerful!" Xiumin stated.

"My eyes! I'm going blind!!!" Baekhyun complained.

After a few seconds, the light vanished.  Chaeyoung fell but was caught by Jimin just in time.

Jennie's eyes fluttered open.

"Jennie!!" The two girls immediately hugged the now awaken Jennie. Gone was the wound Rosé gave her and the bite marks from Yoongi.

"What...what happened?" She looked around. Her eyes opened wide as she saw the unconscious Chaeyoung. "Rosé?! Did she stab me? What just happened?!"

"It's a long story, unnie," Lisa said as she continued to hug the witch. "But one thing's for sure. Rosé is a traitor and this isn't her. This is Chaeyoung, our real sister. The real bearer of water element. The one who finally completed our circle."

"The four of you have a bond no other supernatural has," Jiyong suddenly intervened. "The four of you possess a blood bond stronger than the ability of spirit. The blood of fire."

Jisoo, Jennie and Lisa's eyes widened. Gasps from the guys can also be heard.

"The prophecy!" Jisoo exclaimed. "So that's why Minjae and Roseanne wants us killed!"

"Prophecy?" Seungri asked. "What prophecy?"

"We've got no time to explain, oppa," Jisoo stood up. "Can we go inside Wayji first? Or someplace safe? I think we need to regroup and think everything through. The happening are just getting more and more twisted. We're all both physically and mentally exhausted."

Seungri and Daesung both looked at each other then smiled.

"We've been preparing Blackpink's arrival here in Seoul before all of these things happened..." Daesung said. "But we never got the chance to bring you guys to your own place here."

Jiyong made a portal.

"Everyone, welcome to Blackpink's mansion."

LALICE

"Woah! Is this really ours oppa?!" I squealed as Seungri oppa nodded.

"Ya ya ya. Calm down on the squeals. This place is still quite small but we've designed it to suit Wayji's peincesses. Sajangnim also helped out with some expenses. But 70% was from us, your handsome oppas."

I squealed some more and tackled Seungri oppa with a big hug. The guys were all mesmerized just like us. Chaeyoung was being carried by Jimin and was still unconscious.

"You don't need to worry about the protection," Daesung oppa said as he went up the stairs towards the main entrance of the house. "It has a combination of modern world security and magic. No demon could enter this fortress unlike Beulping. This one's proven and tested."

"Ya, who's there--Chichoo!"

"Dara unnie!!!!" Jisoo unnie ran and gave her a big hug. Behind her was Taeyang oppa, Seunghyun oppa and Chaerin unnie.

"Unnie!" Jennie ran towards Chaerin.

"How'd you girls--So you guys finally showed them our gift--"

"I thought Bigbang oppas paid 70%--"

I looked over at Seungri oppa who looked like he was try'na escape. But Chaerin unnie caught him.

"Ya! How many times have I told you to stop hugging all the credit?!"

Chaerin unnie turned towards me then smiled.

"Lisa-ya! I heard you were married? Where is--omo omo!" Jungkook sped beside me. "What a handsome looking boy!"

He bowed. "I'm Jungkook. Lisa's husband for more than 50 years now."

"Aigoo! Why can't Wayji boys be as handsome as your husband, Lisa-ya? I'm so jealous--"

"Eherm." Seungri cleared his throat.

Chaerin rolled her eyes. "Ya, Lee Seungri. Can you not? You're not even half his level--yah!"

I chuckled as Seungri oppa carried unnie like a rice sack over his shoulder.

"Put me down you abnoxious little sh$&-)%*|€¥_>*{€£"

Jungkook shielded my ears as Yoongi did the same to Jennie and Jin to Jisoo. Knowing it was a fight between Unnie and Oppa, a lot of cussing is involved on unnie's part.

"Shall we go inside?" Dara unnie said. "They're gonna be like that for the next two hours so it's best to get you girls and the guys settled in. The place only has six rooms so there will be sharing involved."

"Us girls will share!" Jisoo automatically suggested. "It would help us bond with Chaeyoungie too."

Yoongi and Jungkook automatically whined which made me laugh.

"I guess the rest of the guys should just pick their rooms then. I think three per room is enough?"

"Unnie, is there some sort of expansion spell on the inside? Why does it look so big in here?" Jennie asked.

"No spell was used here. Just pure interior decorating and the finest architect Jiyong can pay."

Oppa scratched the back of his head. Everyone settled in while the three of us--Jisoo, Jennie and me, sat in the living room with Jiyong, Seunghyun, Daesung, Taeyang oppas and Dara unnie.

"Um, Jiyong oppa... can you explain to us what exactly a 'blood of fire' means?"

Jennie unnie held my hand. "Ne, oppa. We never heard of that before. We thought it connects to royalty or something."

"Technically, yes. It does mean royalty. The four of you are the only living descendants of the Quartet."

Daesung oppa continued.

"Yang sajangnim used to tell us stories about the original Quartet that became the first ever witches on earth. But their stories were just considered as a myth and only the members of the First know the truth.

"The quartet were four beautiful ladies names Lia, Jiyu, Chae and Yeni. They were created by the gods to restore balance and peace in the mortal world since evil was spreading back then like wildfire."

"So they were like demigoddesses?" Jisoo asked. Taeyang oppa nodded.

"They did manage to wipe out the demons that caused chaos among humans but something happened."

"They died?!" My eyes were wide and my palms flew straight on my cheeks. 

"They fell in love with mortals."

The three of us whined.

"It was a sin for gods to love humans. So is for demigods like them. They were given a choice whether to stay on the mortal world or to come back to the heavens. All four decided to stay.

"The gods were disappointed. But because of their huge contribution in keeping order within the mortal realm, they were able to keep their abilities.

"And as an added bonus, they were givin the Blood of Fire. A bond that runs through their blood in which they will forever be connected with each other. A bond that whenever they use together created the strongest kind of magic the world has ever seen.

"But the four sisters got separated as they lived in the mortal realm. Lia who married first, created the house of 불. Because she and her spouse truly loved each other, they made an elixir that would make them live forever. But it only worked for her and it poisoned her husband. She tried to kill herself but she was never triumphant. One of the side effects of the elixir was the thirst for blood. She became the first ever vampire.

"What happened to her? Is she still alive?" I was curious.

"Creating an elixir of immortality was forbidden. Killing innocent lives was also forbidden. So she was sentenced death by the gods."

"I thought she couldn't be killed?"

"Well, she wasn't actually killed. She was sent into a forced slumber and was chained inside a coffin burried deep within the ocean."

"Ouch." I muttered. "But if she became a vampire, how did she have descendants? Did they have children?"

"Yes but they only had one child."

Yikes.

"Chae's downfall was fairly similar to Lia's. The only difference was, she chose death over immortality.

"They lived a long life, Chae and her lover. They had many children and descendants. But when the man died, she chose to die as well. She stabbed herself straight through her heart and buried beside his grave.

"But that became the start of the curse in their bloodline. Suicide was considered as disrespect to the gods. So as punishment, the house would only bear one child per family and their spouse would die."

Dara unnie smiled at us. "The weakness of the two youngest became the Yeni's strength. She used love to strengthen her house and it bore fruit. Among the three, her house stood strongest."

"If it was the strongest, why did it fall?" Jennie unnie asked.

"Little did she know that her lover was actually a demon. Though the man really did love Yeni with all his heart, she could not accept the fact that her children were 'demon hybrids'. So she used all her powers to purify them using her life as sacrifice.

"And because of that, the descendants of Yeni's house would be very cautious to whom they wed. Oftentimes they would wed their own brothers or sisters just to avoid demons. That's why they suddenly fell in numbers."

"How about Jiyu? Was she forced into an exile? Did she kill herself? Did she sacrifice her life too?"

Jiyong oppa shook his head. "Ani. Jiyu... she fell in love with a man who cannot be hers. He was in love with someone else that's why she wasn't able to marry anyone or bear children."

"Then how did she have descendants?" Jisoo unnie asked curiously.

"She made her daughter from clay whom she begged the gods for life. They did give her the child and she became her greatest love. But then, the child grew up and left her.

"But unlike her sisters, Jiyu took the sorrow and used it to make a difference. She took in several apprentices and thought them magic. And they became the first witches."

"So where is Jiyu now?"

"She died of old age and lived a fruitful life," Seunghyun oppa answered. "She actually taught Sajangnim everything he knows. And she's the one who told him this story so it's legit."

"Daebak!" The three of us said.

"So the four of you... are very special. Not only does Sajangnim adores you girls but he also made a promise to protect the four of you from any danger. It was Jiyu's death wish."

"Not only that," Dara unnie smiled. "Sajangnim adores you girls. We do too. You girls are the maknaes of Wayji. We treasure you like the gems that you are."

We all felt giddy so the three of us hugged Dara unnie together. Jiyong, Seunghyun, Daesung and Taeyang oppa joined in too.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Seungri oppa suddenly exclaimed. "A Wayji group hug without me? Unacceptable!"

"Grow up, Seungri." Chaerin unnie smacked him on his head and proceeded to join in the hug.

"Ya!"

"Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna join in?" Seunghyun oppa hissed. Seungri oppa rolled his eyes and ran towards us to join in. But before he could come, Jiyong oppa decided to end the group hug.

"Show's over. Seungri's here."

"Ya!"

"Don't worry oppa," I said. "I'm still here."

"Awww. My princess Lalice really loves her oppa--"

I grinned. Like a sinoster devil. "To kick your ass out of the house."

Everyone laughed. We finally laughed.

But good things doesn't last long...
