On one side, the Krusnik started to take over Lara’s body. She heard what Xiumin said to her in a split second but it was covered with the take over of the Krusnik inside her. Once Xiumin’s blood entered her veins, the Krusnik gaining more and more control over her. She almost didn’t have access of herself at all.

  She struggled to take control over herself.

  ‘Lara, I believe in you.’ Xiumin’s words rang in her mind.

  ‘Why should he believe in me?’ Lara thought in a glance. The Krusnik was still taking over her body and she kept Xiumin’s blood.

  ‘Xiumin...why did you said that you believe in me?’ thought Lara again before she finally realized what was she doing.

  ‘Xiumin! I’m his blood!’ she shouted inside her mind. Both Lara’s eyes which were closed when she his blood then opened.

  Her iris had changed color into silver gray and butterfly wings had appeared from behind her back. Xiumin looked limp but his heart beat still beat normally.

  She stopped Xiumin’s blood right away and release her fangs from Xiumin’s neck. She cupped the drip of blood running from Xiumin’s neck before finally looked at Xiumin’s face.

  Xiumin smiled weakly.

  “Xiumin!” she screamed.

  “I’m so sorry..” she added. Then she spontaneously kissed Xiumin so that his energy could be restored.

  He laughed cheerfully after a few kisses.

  “Hey Lara..” he said gently.

  “You did it. You are able to control yourself very well this time.” Xiumin said again.

  Xiumin then held Lara’s cheek to make sure that he was okay.

  Hearing that, Lara smiled sadly.

  “You’re right. Even so, I’m sorry.” exclaimed Lara again.

  Next second, Xiumin’s bedroom door opened and all of the boys from EXO Planet entered his bedroom.

  “Princess..!” they screamed loudly and seemed worried.

  Then they looked at Xiumin’s condition which seemed fine. They were then amazed that Lara was able to activate the Krusnik without injuring Xiumin like what she did with Lay.

  ‘Xiumin, are you okay?’ asked Luhan through his telepathy, making sure that Xiumin was really okay.      

  “I’m fine, really. Lara can control herself better this time.” responded Xiumin as if explained to other’s curiosity of his condition.

  After they made sure and Lay checked Xiumin’s condition properly, the twelve boys attention’s were directed toward Lara.

“How are you feeling?” asked D.O. Then Kai and the others also asked a similar question.

  “I feel..amazing!” answered Lara.

  “I can feel enourmos power inside of me. The power to move this wings and other things too.” added Lara.

  “That’s great..” responded the boys from EXO Planet.

  “Yeah, we are glad that you can activate your Krusnik and control it this time, without injuring Umin hyung.” said Chanyeol.

  Having the tweleve boys attention directed towards her, Lara felt flustered. She was also wondering about her new looks. She searched for a mirror in Xiumin’s room and approached it. Because before she hadn’t had a chance to see what she looked like in front of the mirror, this time she paid attention thoroughly.

  She could see her iris color turned into a transparent grayish silver. She could also see her black butterfly wings emerged from behind her back. All of the changes caused by the activation of her Krusnik made her looked dark and mysterious but she liked it.

  “Lara..” Chen called her. Lara turned to Chen.

  “Are you okay?” asked Sehun making sure.

  “Yeah, I’m okay. Never better than this.” she answered while smiling.

  “So...what do you guys think? I look creepy, huh? With this iris color, also when I bit you Xiumin?” said Lara asking the boys’ opinion.

  “Nah, you look elegantly beautiful.” opposed Lay.

  “Yeah, he’s right. Your wings looked amazing.” added Tao.

  “How can such adorable yet powerful girl like this looks creepy? No.” responded Xiumin.

  “Can you try to fly with those wings?” asked Baekhyun suddenly.

  “I’ll try!” exclaimed Lara excitedly.

  She tried to connect herself with her wings and tried to move it. Slowly, she lifted from the ground.

 The boys were amazed with Lara’s effort of flying even though they had seen Kris flied so many times. But Lara seemed enjoyed it and made them relieved.

  “Should we go to the courtyard? So that you can fly more freely.” invited Suho.

  “Yeah, okay. Come on!” agreed Lara.

  “Kris, go and watch for Lara while she’s flying okay..” asked Suho to Kris.

  “Sure.” responded Kris shortly while nodding as if it was an obvious thing he would do.

  When they arrived at the courtyard, Lara tried to fly more freely. It didn’t take much time for her to adapt and fly freely in the sky. Only in a few minutes she could control her wings to turned around in a sharp turn, of course with Kris beside her.

  A few minutes passed, Lara asked Kris to stay a bit far from her because she tought she could already got used to fly. Lara still had fun exploring the sky when suddenly her wings stopped moving and she lost balance. Lara’s location was close to the ground while Kris was flying up above the sky. When he noticed, he screamed to the other EXO boys especially Luhan to catch Lara who seemed about to fall to the ground.

  “Dammit, hyung! I think Lara is losing her balance! Her wings stop moving. I’m a bit far away from her position right now. I’ll try to catch her. But, you guys must be ready to catch her from below.” exclaimed Kris.

  ‘Yeah, we see her. Don’t worry Kris, we’ll try to catch her.’ responded Luhan quickly.

  Lara who suddenly lost balance and losing control to move her wings struggled, then slowly fell to the ground. She was startled to lose control over her wings. Even so, she didn’t scream loudly. She only screamed one time inside her mind then accepted whatever might happen to her and closed her eyes.

  ‘!!!’

  ‘No, I will fall!’

  She was ready to fall to the ground when she could feel someone’s arms catched her. When she sure that she no longer falling, she opened her eyes.

  She could see Sehun, the youngest boy from EXO Planet. Oh Sehun catched her and held her in the air. Lara could also felt a vortex of wind around their bodies.

  Sehun used his wind power so he could fly in the air and catched Lara before she fell to the ground.

  “Oh, Sehun!” exclaimed Lara spontanouesly because it was Sehun who actually catched and held her.

  “Are you okay?!” asked Sehun worried.

  “Ah, yeah. I thought I’d fall.” asnwered Lara.

  “Thanks for catching me, Sehun.” she added.

  Even so, Sehun couldn’t pull off worried expression on his face.

  “Are you sure?” he asked again.

  “Yeah, I’m sure.” responded Lara while touching Sehun’s cheek in a glance and smiling to ensure him. Kris came and also made sure if Lara was okay. They then returned to the ground. The others were waiting worriedly.

  “Lara, are you okay?”

  “Are you hurt?”

  “What happened?” asked the others almost in unison.

  Lara descended from Sehun’s embrace and fixed her messy appearance from falling earlier.

  “Guys, relax. I’m okay. Really!” responded Lara later.

  “I tried some moves but lost control suddenly. But I think I get it now. I’ll try and be more careful, okay.. Now, please let me fly again..” exclaimed Lara while smiling, didn’t wait for their approval and flied away slowly into the sky.

  “O-oh! Wait..!!” said the boys startled and surprised. Kris and Sehun immediately followed Lara and flied besides her while the other watched from below.

  Afer long enough, Lara could control her wings without losing her balance. Even when she tried other kind of movement. Even so, Kris and Sehun wouldn’t take their eyes off of Lara and kept flying near her.

  Observing Lara’s stable condition, Suho then got an idea. He asked the other boys who were on the ground to gather and to train their power.

  “Guys, it’s been a while since our last training. Why don’t use this chance to practice our power like old times?” suggested Suho.

  The others agreed. Then, each of them paired of one on one and put off a fighting pose.

  Xiumin with Kai. Chanyeol with Suho. Tao practicing alone with his Wushu stick. While the others did their own individual training with their surrounding.

  Hearing and seeing what the other boys doing made Lara paid attention to them and interested to see their training. She watched them from above.

  Xiumin used his frost power and made a solid chunk of ice and directed it towards Kai. Kai used his teleportation and tried to avoid it. Chanyeol and Suho practiced with shooting their own element towards each other.

  After flying long enough, Lara got tired and finally decided to come down. She then stood beside Lay, D.O, and Luhan who were also watching a fight between Xiumin – Kai and Chanyeol – Suho.

  Seeing the fight, even though it was just a practice and wasn’t mean to harm each other, Lara got excited.

  Xiumin used his ability to make many kinds of ice to shoot at Kai’s direction. He was trying to find Kai’s weak angle to have a chance hit him. At first he was making a big chunk of ice, but Kai easily avoided it and teleported to somewhere else. Then, he made a condensed ice directed it at Kai. Once got in contact, the condensed ice could freeze the object around it. Kai got hit on the leg and couldn’t move for a second, that was when Xiumin tried to shoot some ice at him again. But this time, Kai avoided it and ducked down on his knees. Before Xiumin could shot at him again, Kai succeded to teleport.

  Xiumin’s next strategy was to shoot a lot of ice fragment to observe Kai teleportation’s movement so he could precise his attack. That was when Lara suddenly flied towards Xiumin’s direction and swiftly catching the ice fragments.
