HEX

CHAPTER 6

LALICE

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" I blurted out as they all looked at me. "Who the hell is Pranpriya? And someone please hand me a shirt or something my bra isn't the 7th wonder of the world!"

Hobi immediately grabbed a white t-shirt on Jungkook's table and handed it to me. Namjoon and Jimin were beside the p*****t who just ripped my shirt off.

"Lisa..." Namjoon spoke. I glared at him. "Do you remember anything about your past?"

"For the past fifty years, yes," I said. "Why are you all starting to get weird?"

"Do you remember who turned you into a vamp?" He asked.

"No, I don't..." I looked over to Jungkook who was weirdly staring at me. "What's going on here? You creep, why are you crying like that after you just molested me--"

He leaned in towards me and wrapped me in his arms. Why does it feel different from the hugs I get from Jinhwan? From my sisters? From Seungri? From everyone else?

Why does it feel... like home?

I started to panic. I pushed him.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

"Priya..." he uttered. "Pranpriya. Please remember..."

"I'm not Pranpriya! Or whoever! I am Lalice. L-A-L-I-C-E!"

He grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me closer. He looked straight into my eyes and I did the same.

"That bite mark near your heart, it's mine. I was the one who turned you into a vampire. You are my wife, Lalice."

"What?! Did you hit your head or something? Don't you think I'd remember it if I married someone or not?"

I looked at him and he looked dead serious. Panic was very prominent inside my head for I'm starting to get answers to all my unanswered questions from the past five decades.

I didn't know who turned me into a hybrid. I have no clue to what my life was before I became a vampire. And lastly, for some unknown reason, I do have strong feelings for Jungkook. But I'm not so sure if it was positive or negative feelings.

"I won't force you to believe me but we can't deny you the truth that you are my wife," he insisted. "You just have to listen to me."

"If I am your wife, why did I forget about everything? About you?" O countered. "Not even a shred of memory slipped in my mind."

"I don't know the exact answer to that why but one thing's for sure. You were compelled to forget," he stated. Both hands on my shoulders.

"Then uncompell me!"

"I can't," he said. "Only the vampire who did that can reverse its effect."

"And you think I believe you?" I crossed my arms. He heaved a heavy sigh.

"Where's your spell book?" He asked. My eyebrows furrowed as I pointed over by my bed side table. He quickly grabbed it and flip the pages. "If you still don't believe me, recite this encantation."

He held out his hand and motioned me to do the same.

"Renforcer le lien de cet amour éternel..."

My eyes widened as a mark suddenly appeared on both our wrists which connects to each other. 

"You know what this bond means, right?"

I slowly nodded. It was the mark which tightens the bond between two supernaturals. It was a bond that only married supernaturals have.

I then felt his thumb gently trail my cheeks. I didn't know that I was crying.

Why was I crying? I don't understand.

"You didn't leave me..." He stated softly. He was far from the cocky Jungkook I first met. He now looked gentler. He even smiled at me. Why does it look so familiar? Is he really telling the truth? "You just forgot."

I felt stares from his brothers and felt self-conscious. I moved away and wiped off my own tears.

"I still don't remember anything," I said. "Let's just meet with the wolves first before settling this issue. I-I still need to save my sister."

"As you wish, Priya--"

"It's Lisa." I stopped him. "Until I regain my memories, I'm still Lalice. I'm still that hybrid who hates your guts."

I hurriedly walked down the stairs towards the living room. I paced back and forth. Was this the answer I've been looking for? I called Jinhwan.

"Jinhwan..."

"What's wrong, Lis? Is wverything okay?"

"Yes... The spell book. You said you had it and it was originally mine?"

"Yup," he said. "When they brought you to Beulping 50 years ago, you've always had that with you. I got curious about that spellbook and secretly borrowed if from you. Oh, you also had this necklace with a ring on it."

"Do you happen to know where the ring is?"

"I think Jinwoo has it. It looked like a wedding band tho."

I tried to recall the necklace I saw on Jungkook's bedside the other night. It had a ring on it too.

"Was it a silver band with a ruby stone?"

"Yes! It was pure Argentum and the ruby had a gold outline around it."

I felt my legs go weak. I sat on the couch as I held on to the phone. It was exactly the same as what Jungkook has. Could it be? Could I really be his missing wife?

"Lisa? Are you okay?"

"Y-Yea. I'll call you again soon. Bye."

"Lisa wai--"

I dropped the phone on to the coffee table. So, is he really telling the truth? Am I really Pranpriya, his wife?

"Kamjagi-- ya! Don't startle me like that!"

Jungkook gave me a smirk. "I thought you said we should get going and save your sister first? What are you doing lounging around the living room?"

"It's none of your business--"

"It kinda is since your my wife and all..."

"As far as I'm concern, I'm not your wife 'til we prove that I am that Pranpriya you're talking about."

"You saw the mark," he said. "And I can feel that you have this kind of attatchment towards me. I'm 100% sure you are my wife."

"Yet I don't even remember who you are," I replied. "Just cut the crap, Jungkook. Let's just resume to hating each other so we can finish all of this."

"I doubt you hate me, doll." He was smirking.

Gods. Why does he smirk like that? Is he trying to kill me?! Why?!

"It's fifteen minutes to ten pm. We should get going." He stood up and sped through the veranda. "You comin'?"

I rolled my eyes and stood up to follow him. But what he did kinda threw me off guard.

He clasped his hand with mind and we jumped.

Jungkook did not let go. 

For he thinks if he does, 

he won't be able to 

hold her again...

JUNGKOOK

"Rosie!"

Priya--I meant Lisa, let go of my hand as she rushed towards a brunette girl next to Chanyeol.

"Lisa!"

The my hugged each other as we protectively watched over them. I turned towards the stranger. I knew it was him.

"Yixing."

"Jungkook."

"What made you change sides?" We all looked at Namjoon who spoke. "Why did you give her back?"

"Who said anything about giving her back?" He smirked.

I immediately moved next to Lisa and grabbed her. Chanyeol did the same with the brunette.

"Cool your horses, vamp," he said as he chuckled. Suho--their leader, stepped forward.

"We're not giving Roseanne to you guys," he said. "But we're not giving her to Esem either. As of yesterday we left the coven with the sirens. We sent Yixing to you guys to tell you that."

"But he didn't," Hoseok hissed. The guy just shrugged.

"What? I enjoyed playing with Lisa." I clenched my fist but Lisa held my arm. "She's cool. I like her."

"Hands off, half-mutt," I hissed. He raised both his hands then laughed. Suho shook his head in frustration.

"As of yesterday, we're on your side," he continued. "We found out that Sooman will use the girls for his evil plan. World domination."

"How'd you know about that?"

"I overheard Sooman when I went to the headquarters," Xiumin the eledest said. "And that they'll kill them after."

I felt Lisa's grip tighten.

"They've sent more demons to track them."

We all turned towards the foreign voice.

"Jennie!" Both Lalice and Roseanne rushed towards the girl with highlights. She was with Jaebum--Leader of the Faes, and the rest of Got7.

"They'll need more than just one group to protect them," he said.

"Lisa should stay with you, vamps. Jennie with the faes and Roseanne will stay with us," Chanyeol stated. "Their other sister will be safe with Wayji."

"Why can't we all just stay in Wayji?" Lisa asked. "Why do we have to be separated from each other?"

"It will be easier to capture all of you if you girls are just in one place," Kyungsoo--the real one I guess, said. "But if all of you are protected individually, it will be much harder on Sooman's part but easier for us."

The girls rushed towards each other and cried. I felt sorry for yhem since watching them now shows me how close they are. And fifty years of being together? That's a bond you can never break.

Then the ground started to move.

Was it a trap?

"They found us!" Kai exclaimed and transformed into a wolf.

"Protect them at all costs!"

All wolves took form and we hid the girls behind us.

"Stay back," I told Lisa.

"We can fight!" She argued. "We're not helpless little kittens, Jungkook."

"I know you're not but this is no time for arguing, Lalice. Just listen to me and stay back--"

Shadow demons started to appear and attacked them.

"Lisa! I said stay ba--"

She stomped her foot on the ground and a ripple of flame engulfed the shadow demons. Jennie raised her hand which froze a lot of demons as well. Rosé waved her hand and tidal wave suddenly appeared that wiped out half of the demon fleet.

"Now, who should stay back?"

I was about to roll my eyes nut I saw a demon approaching. I grabbed her immediately and buried my dagger into the demon's chest.

"You were saying?"

She rolled her eyes then we faced the shadow demon, backs facing each other as we were surrounded.

All of us used our abilities to defeat the hoard of demons approaching us. There was a lot of punching, kicking and stabbing on my part.

"We have to get out of here," Chanyeol said as he bent down to let Roseanne ride his back. She hugged her sisters tightly before doing what she was told. "We'll contact you guys as soon as we can guarantee her safety. You should go too."

I nodded and looked at Namjoon. He understood and alerted the others as well. I held Lisa's hand much to her surprise and guided her to ride my back.

"I can move quickly too you know," she said.

"This is no time for your sass, doll," I countered. "Just get on my back. It would be faster."

She rolled her eyes before obeying. I shook my head as to how stubborn my wife is. She was so submissive back then. But I think I like it more when she's like this.

"Wait!" She yelled and looked over to Jennie. "Be careful, Jen. Make sure to contact us when you're safe."

The girl nodded before she and faes vanished. I sped off together with my brothers.

"Stop moving!" I scolded as she kept looking behind us.

"I'm burning them so they won't catch up!"

"Aish!"

"Ya!"

I moved her to my front and carried her bridal style.

"Hold on tight, doll," I said as I got ready to jump up a building. I felt her move closer to my chest as she held on to my shirt.

"Let's split up," Jin instructed which I followed. I ran straight towardd the penthouse as it was a protected area.

As we landed on the pent's veranda, Lisa almost collapsed on the floor.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I immediately examined her body. There was no would or anything. But her lips, it was starting to turn a shade lighter. "Lisa? Lisa?"

"K-Kook..." Her hands fell lifeless.

"Lisa!"

It scared him.

He's not gonna lose her ever again.

ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ

I'll fight heaven and earth just to be with you
