Chapter 32

Fragile Eternity

  “Princess, let me introduce to you...they are special boys from EXO Planet.” said a grown up man.

  Lara could be seen hiding behind her mother’s legs. Looking at her own reflection in her mother’s eyes, she was 7 years old.

  The twelve boys reacted differently to the introduction. Some were looked down shyly, some were indifferent, some looked at her expectantly, some smiled sincerely.

  “Hello Princess..my name is Chen! Nice to meet you!” shout one of the boys who looked at her expectantly.

  Lara who was shy with the boys she just met took a glance at Chen from behind her mother’s leg.

  Chen smiled and made Lara ran back behind her mother’s legs.

  The images vanished, changed with another images.

  She finally accustomed with some of the boys from EXO Planet.

  A figure of a little boy appeared, he was still shy and kept hiding. Lara then intended to approach him and to tell him not to be afraid. But he was looking down and hiding behind the other boys’s back.

  “Luhan, you don’t have to be shy. Come, talk and play with the Princess.” exclaimed the grown up man who then Lara recognized as Claude.

  Luhan took a glance towards Lara but he kept hiding.

  A new images appeared in Lara’s mind.

  “Hey, what are you doing?” asked the 7 years old Lara, wondering about some boy activities. He was apparently trying to revive a dead flower. Lara stood still and found out that his effort was succeded. The flower bloomed again and it looked so beautiful.

  “Here...for you.” said the little Lay.

  “Really? Thank you...” answered little Lara. Not only amazed by Lay’s ability but also because she just received a beautiful flower.


  ‘Ha..ha..ha’

  A child’s laugh could be heard.

  “Come and catch me!” shouted little Lara.

  “Wait for me, Princess..” responded little Chen while still laughing.

  “I got you!” little Chen said again.

  “Ah. Ha..ha..ha” Lara and Chen laughed together.

  Then they both laid down in the middle of meadow, enjoying the view of the clouds above them.

  Little Lara closed her eyes, feeling calm and relax with the refreshing breeze and sunny weather.

  Until finally a roar of wild animal could be heard.

  They were both startled, Lara opened her eyes suddenly, cautious of any possible dangers. Chen reflexively watched surround condition and put Lara behind his back.

  Both of them saw a monster resembling white tiger in the distance.

GRAOOO

  The monster roared and started to run towards Lara and Chen.

  Seeing that, Chen pulled Lara and ran avoiding the monster.

  Running with their little feet, they couldn’t beat the monster’s speed. Lara then shouted to Chen.

  “Chen!”

  Chen looked over to Lara and he could see the monster was a few feet away from the. He then stopped and pulled Lara behind his back. He consentrated, then he waved his hand. A flash of lighting appeared from his hand and struck the monster. Luckily the monster fell backward because of the sudden lightning and high electrical voltage generated by Chen.

  They used that chance to flee from the monster. Chen generated a high electrical voltage but it wouldn’t kill the monster. The monster could rise and caught them again.

  They succed to flee from the monster and enter Clarence family castle.

  “Thank you, Chen.” said Lara while smiling and still holding Chen’s hands.

  “Don’t worry, Princess. I will always protect you.” responded Chen and tried to calm her down because she seemed still shocked with what just happened.

  The images vanished, changed with other images. Lara kept remembering her lost memories.

  It was storming that night. The wind blew strongly and lighting struck violently. Lara was soothed by her parents in her bedroom.

  “Shuussh. Calm down dear, it’s okay. The storm will pass soon.” said her father, King Charles Arthur Clarence.

  “There, there. You’re okay, we are here with you.” added his mother, Queen Victoria Laura Clarence.

  But Lara could not stop crying and screaming. Each time the blaring sound of thunder could be heard in the sky.

  The 12 boys from EXO Planet who were living together with Lara in the castle could hear Lara’s scream and made them worry.        

  Suho, embolden himself to knock the Princess’s bedroom. King Charles then let him in.

  “I heard Princess crying and screaming, is there something we can help?” asked Suho hesitantly to King and Queen of Clarence family.

  Behind Suho, Kris, Luhan, Xiumin, Lay, Chen, and the others were lined up and looked as worried as Suho.

  “Oh, children.. Come in.” said King Charles.

  The 12 of them entered the bedroom and greeted Lara.           

  “Look Lara, your friends are here.. Please don’t cry okay?” said King Charles, still trying to soothe Lara who still crying.

  Lara then took a glance towards the boys and slowly stopped crying. But right after that, a thunder blared and let out a loud sound and powerful vibrations. Lara then screaming yet again and hiding while hugging her parents.

  One of the boys encouraged himself and step forward. He then walked towards the windows, and opened it a little. He tried to use his power. He tried to control the thunder and lightning and moved it to a far away place, away from Clarence family castle.

  “Princess, don’t cry and be sad. I moved the thunder to a faraway places so you don’t have to be scared.” said Chen while bowing towards the Clarence family.

  King Charls then smiled and patted Chen’s head. “Thank you, Chen..”

  Lara still crying but then slowly started to smile.        

  Chen felt proud because he got a praise from King Charles.

  “Look Lara, all of your friends are here. Don’t be sad and cry again, okay dear? You’ll be okay now.” said Queen Victoria.

  “Children, will you please look after Lara..?” asked Quen Victoria to the 12 boys.

  “Yes, Queen Victoria..” asnwered the 12 of them in unison.

  King Charles and Queen Victoria then left Lara with the boys after giving her goodnight kisses and tucked her in.  

  The images changed again.

  “My King, Caine’s forces are heading this way. Hurry and leave this castle.” said Claude.

  “Lara..” said her father and mother almost in unison. Anxiety emitted from her mother’s face. She also could feel the tension in her father’s face.

  “Lara.. We're sorry. We hope we can be by your side forever, I’m afraid we can’t. But don’t worry, there will be 12 guys who will accompany you from now on.” her father said.

  They both then hugged Lara tightly. She could see tears flowing down from her mother’s eyes. Lara then forcibly taken by her bodyguards. The last thing Lara saw was her parents’s body who were lying on the ground and covered in blood.
