Red Skys and Royal CardsLast nights dinner failed. It isn’t like any of the other guys can’t cook; it’s the fact that they left dinner preparations up to the select few that couldn’t cook. The kitchen still has a few char marks that are a lot worse than the one still outside; the stench of smoke still hangs in the air.
I need to remember that anyone younger than Lay other than D.O is banned from the kitchen. I don’t even think I will let them help with food preparations if this is a possible result. It’s going to take a little while before I let them in the kitchen to do anything. I thought they were burning the place down when I walked through the back door with D.O last night.
That’s the past and I need to forget it. It’s a new day and the start to a few days off before the competition sing-up in opened and I have a week to figure out where I am going to participate. On top of that I still have ten more bonds to get through before I can fully control my Ability.
The grounding method D.O taught me the night before has given me a way to be able to control the strength that comes along with his Specialty. And I understand what he meant when he said he had more strength than a normal Warrior. I wanted to see what his strength felt like, and I have to say I really don’t want to have to use it unless absolutely necessary. His strength is the dark side to his Specialty, it caries with it a dark feeling.
But I wasn’t going to focus on the two bonds I already knew how to control. I needed to move on and at the end come back as train with each of them. Today was Luhan’s turn; I was pretty intrigued about learning what he was capable of. I’m hoping he can teach me a way to keep him out of my head, because I don’t want to be read as an open book.
I pitched the idea to Luhan for him to teach me today at breakfast. I didn’t receive the answer I thought I would. “We are going to that market again today Sky, it’s still open is it not?” Luhan said seriously.
“It should be yes.”
“Good, we are leaving once everyone is ready.” He stated before walking off to get ready the others boys following him.
I still can’t figure out why he wanted to leave so suddenly. And I still have yet to receive an answer to said question, even as we walk along to busy streets. Sehun as usual is clinging onto my arm and Tao is doing the same with my other arm. We are walking at the back of the pack and both boys will shy away from any human that brushes against them.
They are so skittish around people and I can’t understand why. It isn’t like they are going to attack them or anything and if they did these boys are stronger than any human and possess the skills to beat even highly skilled fighters. So what the heck are they some damn scared of? Why do they not like being close to humans?
Maybe it’s their past with Dealers that have harmed them that have made them skittish, whatever it is I really hope they can get over it. I’ll do my best to help them, but I really have no idea how.
“Tao, come here.” Kris looked back and called to the younger.
Tao’s eyes lit up and he let go of me to go bounding over to his Hyung and grabbing onto him forearm like he had previously been doing to me. Those two are pretty close, usually if I look for one I will find the other not to far away. I’ve started to attribute it to Kris trying to keep an eye on Tao, I’m sure he is still worried that something might be wrong. He almost lost Tao once I don’t think he wants to chance it a second time.
And unfortunately because of whatever happened to Tao in the past to get him almost destroyed Kris is a little paranoid – at least that’s what I think. And like what just happened when he called Tao away from me, it isn’t the first time he’s done so. Whenever I’m around Tao for prolonged periods of time Kris will all of a sudden need Tao to help him with something.
He won’t let Tao be around me for long, even if I have one of the other boys with me or we are as a group
