Chapter 33

Fragile Eternity

   Eleven boys from EXO planet gathered around Lara who was laying unconscious while Lay resting in his own room to recover his energy.

   The eleven boys exchanged glance at each other while looking at Lara occasionally.

   “Her memories are starting to return.” said Luhan flat who was trying to read what was on Lara’s mind through his telepathy.

   “What? That’s..” responded Chen who felt glad but also sad.

   The others felt the same feeling. Glad that finally Lara would remember her childhood that she spent with them together but sad because she would remember sad memories about her parents.

   Suddenly Luhan emitted a sad expression on his face, he then got out of the room and startled the others with his sudden action.

   “Luhan where are you going?” asked Xiumin.

   Luhan didn’t answer and kept walking outside the room. Xiumin went after him.

   “Lu, tell me! What is it? What did you see? What did you know?” asked Xiumin while holding Luhan’s hand, stopping his step right after he went out of the room.

   “I tried to look into Princess’s mind who was unconscious. She was remembering painful memories about King Charles and Queen Victoria. I couldn’t watch it any longer.” said Luhan sad.

   Xiumin then patted Luhan’s back to soothe him.

   Eventhough Lara was unconscious, tears suddenly flew from both her closed eyes. The ten boys who was still in Lara’s bedroom agaped and tried to wipe the tears. Some boys caressed her cheeks and hair gently.

   “Xiumin, you better get inside. Princess will awake in a few minutes.” said Luhan who kept monitoring Lara’s mind.

   Xiumin nodded.

   “You’re not coming?” asked Xiumin.

   “Nah, I want to rest for a bit and try to reduce my telepathy. It’s exhausting.” responded Luhan.

   “I understand.” stated Xiumin and patted Luhan’s back before returning to Lara’s bedroom.

   “Hey, Lu.” called Xiumin when Luhan was about to walk away.

   “Hm?”

   “Please don’t do something reckless again, okay? I’m here for you. The others, too. Just tell us if anything happen, okay?” asked Xiumin worried and hugged Luhan briefly.

   Luhan smiled weakly as if committed that he was wrong.

   “Thanks. I promise I won’t do something reckless again, don’t worry.” responded Luhan.


   Lara finally opened her eyes. Her eyes were wet because she had been crying. She couldn’t see her surrounding clearly because her sight was blurred of the tears.

   She exhaled and suddenly realized what just happened. Remembering her lost memories, her sight was empty. She felt like she couldn’t do anything, like her body was paralyzed. Then suddenlty her tears flew down even more and she couldn’t stop it.    

   Until finally Kai who was sitting closest to Lara couldn’t stand watching her cried and pulled her gently to hug her.

   ‘Lara, be strong. I’m here for you.’ said Kai in his mind. He knew any words wouldn’t make her any better so he just hugged her without saying anything. 

   Lara responded to Kai and hugged him back. Couldn’t stop crying yet.       

   As if there wasn’t anything she could do except crying, remembering the lost memories made her felt terrible.

   The eleven boys felt the same terrible feeling and sadness that Lara felt but they couldn’t do anything and it made them felt worse. Kris, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Tao who couldn’t stand it any longer finally went out of the room. After making eye contact with the others and asked them to take care of Lara.

   While Sehun, D.O, Chen, Suho, and Xiumin who were still in the room tried to soothe and comfort Lara.

   ‘I’m tired.’ exclaimed Lara still crying.

   ‘I hope I can stop being sad and cry. I don’t want them to worry. But why the tears can’t stop falling down?’ she said again in her mind.

   ‘Mom, Dad..why did you leave me?’ she asked again. Trying to find something to blame, but finally ended up crying again.

   Kai then held Lara and tried to find comfortable position. He wanted her to cry it out. Crying on his shoulder until she’d felt satisfied.

   Soon Lara got exhausted and finally stopped crying. She was eventually crying in her sleep and slept in Kai’s embrace.

   After that, Kai put Lara on her bed so she could rest comfortably. Then the others took turn to watch Lara once in an hour.


   That time was Xiumin’s turn to watch over her when she slowly awoken from her sleep.

   “Hey, Princess...” he said while smiling and showing his round cheeks.

   “Hi..” responded Lara weak while smiling.

   Seeing Lara’s swollen eyes and tears left in her eyes, Xiumin offered her “Do you want to wash your face?” gently.

   Lara just nodded weakly.

   As if the whole energy in Lara’s body depleted, she was having a hard time to stand up. Xiumin then helped Lara and let her leaned on his body.

   When arriving at the bathroom, Xiumin spryly pulled out a chair so that Lara could sit while washing her face. Then he left to take a towel and gave her privacy.

   ‘Look at you, Lara. You look pathethic.’ mumbled Lara inside her mind while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

   ‘Be strong already! Don’t waste your life!’ she said again.

   After that, she promised herself that she would control herself and wouldn’t easily cry again. She didn’t want to worry the others anymore.

   After Lara done washing her face, Xiumin gave her the towel.

   “Thanks.” exclaimed Lara.

   “Xiumin, how’s Lay?” asked Lara suddenly, feeling worried.

   “Lay’s fine. He’s in his room.” answered Xiumin and told Lara that she didn’t have to worry.

   “I want to see him.” she insisted.

   “But...” responded Xiumin hesitantly.

   “Okay, but I’ll carry you to his room okay?” offered Xiumin later.

   “Yes.” agreed Lara and nodded.

   “Come, climb my back.” exclaimed Xiumin while squatting. Then Lara climbed Xiumin’s back.


KNOCK KNOCK

Lara knocked on the door, then door opened by Sehun.

   “Oh, Princess..You’re awake?” Sehun said. Lara smiled briefly and nodded weak.

   “Where’s Lay?” asked Lara.

   “Oh, he’s inside. Come on in!” invited Sehun.

   Inside Lay’s bedroom, the other ten boys of EXO Planet were actually gathered around.

   Xiumin then went approaching Lay who was still in bed. Lay was sitting on his bed and Lara felt relieved to see Lay’s condition that seemed fine. Suho then helped Lara climbed down from Xiumin’s back.

   Lara approached Lay right away and sat next to him.

   “How are you?” asked her weak.

   Lay smiled, showing his deep dimples that Lara liked.

   “I’m okay. A little bit limp actually. Maybe if you kiss me, the limp will go away.” responded Lay with a joking tone.

   Hearing him, Lara immediately took a step closer to Lay and directly kissed him. Lay felt surprised because he thought that Lara wouldn’t do as he wished. He gasped but then accepted her kiss and held Lara’s cheek with one hand.

   “Actually I was just joking, Lara..” Lay said bluntly and smiled happily because Lara had just kissed him.           

   Lara could only smiled weakly hearing the truth from Lay.

   “Guys...” she then talked slowly towards all the boys from EXO Planet.

   Then all the boys turned to look and pay attention to her in unison.

   “Can you please tell me all the things that have been happened the past few days?” asked Lara.

   Her memories had returned, but she still couldn’t get any explanation about her power or about the creature that attacked her at school that day. Her memories were just about her childhood and how both of her parents get killed.

KNOCK KNOCK

   Someone knocked on the door, Kai immediately teleported and opened the door. Kate stood in front of the door. She seemed hesitant before stepping into the room, but then she changed her mind when she saw Lara. She felt relieved that Lara finally awoke. She approached her and hugged her right away.

   “I’m sorry to make you worry. I’m okay, Kate.” said Lara. Then Kate carresed her head gently.

   “Maybe it’s time I explain everything to you.” exclaimed Kate.

   Lara went silent for a minute but then nodded seriously.

   “Do you still remember what I told you that long before you were born, there was a war and power struggle among the Royal Familes?” asked Kate to Lara.

   “Yes.” answered Lara briefly while nodding.

   Then Kate started telling about her family history.
