I eyed the paintings on the wall as I passed. I have ran through these halls countless times, yet I failed to actually notice these simple things. I eventually stopped in my track, noticing that I have past his room and am just wandering the halls. I was about to walk back when a certain painting caught my eye.
I walked toward it slowly. I felt my heart clench suddenly. The confusion and curiosity sprung into one. I felt as though I have lost yet found something new but it was slightly dulled.
It was actually a picture of the Royal family. I saw my nine mates and who I presumed to be their mother and father, the king and queen. The confusion rose up more as I examined the vintage frame.
There were 12 brothers. Only 9 I have met that are also my mates. Who are those other three?
~*~*~*~*~
~~Y/n POV~
I continued to stare at the picture and examined the frame more... There was another small keyhole on the corner of the frame. Great. More secret passages that my curiosity won't let me ignore. I looked at the picture once more before walking back in the direction of Sehun's room.
I quietly knocked and waited for a response. I heard a faint come in and entered the room. I looked at the bed and saw Sehun staring at me in shock. He looked better than before which meant that he was getting better.
" W-Who are you?" He stuttered with a blush rising to his ears. I looked at him with a confused look and closed the door behind me.
" I'm the one who took care of you when you passed out in the kitchen..." I said blankly. He looked at me with an embarrassed look before averting his eyes to his lap. Did he not remember when he passed out?
I walked up to him and placed my palm on his forehead, checking his temperature. I felt his heat increase and removed my hand to look at him. His face was turning pink, but that was all I saw before he hid his face with his hands.
I let out a small giggle and place my hands over his wrist. I pulled his hands away from his face and looked him in the eye. He was blushing at our skin contact. Why? What's so great about that? I felt nothing.
" What's wrong, Sehun?" I asked. He manages to calm down and took my hands off his wrists. He seemed to shiver at the skin contact but I thought nothing of it. My hands fell at my sides as I stood up straight.
"Nothing is wrong....Y/n" He said before he was attacked by a coughing fit. I patted his back as he coughed out his insides.
"Shall I bring you some tea?" I asked, taking my hand off his back. He looked at me with confused eyes.
"Why would you do that?" He asked. I shrugged.
"Because I want you to recover faster." I said simply. He looked down at his lap, lost in thought. I had to snap my fingers in front of his face to get his attention back.
"Hey, come on. Let's get you changed and get you a good meal" I said, trying to be sweet and caring. To be honest I probably sounded like a cold hearted bitch unlike before. I was so soft when we first met but now I just don't feel anything...
"Alright." He said softly but continued to stare at his hands in his lap. I was about to turn away from him to give him privacy to change but was suddenly pulled by my wrist downwards.
"Ow.." I groaned at the impact. I opened my eyes and saw the position I was in. Sehun was laying flat on the bed with only one elbow propping him up and his other hand gripping my wrist tightly. I was on top of him on all fours except for the one hand that he held. He just stared at me as if he was waiting for a reaction.
"What was that for?" I asked blankly. I felt a burn on my wrist where his hand was. I ignored it and held his gaze. His eyes held frustration as he through my wrist to the side and pushed me down into the bed.
I looked up at him with confusion as he hovered over me. Our lips barely inches away from each other's. He seemed to be leaning closer towards me. He closed his eyes and I proceeded to do the same thing.
Before our lips could touch, the door slammed open revealing a very pissed off Chanyeol. He through Sehun off of me which caused him to land back on the bed. I sat up and watched.
"What the hell,Sehun?!" Chanyeol yelled, jealousy and anger written all over his face. Sehun has an angry but frustrated look on his face as well. He was holding something back.
"Please stop figh-" I stopped my plea when a rush of sharp pains erupted from my chest and head at once. I clutched my chest because the most pain was located there.
I slouched down and tried to regain myself. They seemed to have seen my distress and panicked. Sehun ran out of the room to get help while Chanyeol went by my side to see if I was ok.
My breathing quickened and my vision turned spotty. What was happening...
I blacked out.
~~~Third Person POV~~~
The rest of EXO was in the dining room with breakfast served. Everyone was chatting and discussing palace duties or have casual talk. Unfortunately, it only lasted a moment before a panicked looking Maknae burst through the doors.
"HELP- *Gasp* she- *Gasp* COME" He tried to speak but his voice wouldn't work. Why oh why did the palace have to be so damned big. With the Maknaes panicked expression, the rest of the members rushes to his side to understand what was happening.
"Sehun! What's wrong?!" Suho tried to get the words out of him. He patted his back in hopes that he would just blurt them out.
Sehun gained his breath and stood up.
"Somethings wrong with Y/n!!" He yelled before running towards the direction of his room. He knew they would follow so he just continued running.
With the sounds of shouting and running, Mia opened the door just as the group of love sick wolves ran to check up on their mate. She had this gut feeling to run with them Incase something happened to Y/n.
But instead she ran somewhere else. As if not in control she ran towards the picture of the royal family. She stared at it before continuing to run through the corridors. She stopped in front of the meeting room.
She grabbed the doorknob and entered the room. She ran under the table and waited for a few minutes before a set of footsteps came towards the door and eventually into the room.
She was quiet.
If she made a sound she would blow her cover.
From what she read, it all made sense in the end.
She would have to prevent history from repeating itself and finally lift the curse.
That was if she was able to make it in time....
