    Walking towards the staircase where Lay was waiting for her, a lot of scenarios started to form themselves in her head. She wondered why Kyungsoo suddenly wanted to talk to her when he was literally avoiding her in her entire stay with the royals, he walks in the other side right away when they cross each other's road, he doesn't allow anyone to step a foot inside his kitchen but when she does so he turns into a frozen state that is slowly melting. Everything about Kyungsoo is blocking her away, he isn't the type of person to show his feelings but in her case he doesn't have a choice, as his phobia is a lot stronger than him.       Does he want to thank her? Maybe because she was the first one to sense him in danger? No Sora doesn't think that, Kyungsoo wouldn't speak to her just to thank her, she was sure he would have told Lay to do that.       "Don't worry Sora.. I'm sure it's nothing," Lay patted her softly on her shoulder when she walked beside him, making her stop to let him squeeze her delicate shoulder blade. Sora almost froze because of his touch, and her heartbeat increased irregularly in her chest. Sora frowned, she didn't know she still has this attraction towards the boy especially after he showed her his dark side. Sora wasn't stupid, she knew that what she is feeling towards the boy is attraction and maybe more. She doesn't want to, something deep inside her doesn't want her to be attached to anyone, and especially not one of the twelve.        While walking upstairs, she saw the little Lujian exit Luhan's room while rubbing his eyes like the cute boy that he is. Sora almost forgot he had been staying with them for the past two days, he had requested kindly from her to sleep in their house, and Sora could not resist the cute puppy expression he pulled and the fact his parents just passed away. She just simply agreed and he had been staying with his brother's bedroom ever since.       Knocking, Sora waited for Kyungsoo to respond to her knocking so she can come inside. She patted Lujian's head as he walked downstairs to his brother and the rest.        "Come in.." She heard his delicate voice from inside and she soon entered the room with slow, ragged breath. Sora looked around the room silently, this is the first time she was exposed to one of the boy's room, and for sure she didn't expect to see Kyungsoo's room the first.        Kyungsoo's room was green, all of what was surrounding him was colored in either almond green or darker shades. There was a big green space in one of his walls and Sora wondered why he didn't put any furniture on that place and left it empty like the other parts of his room.       "It's supposed to be a drawing of the woods, but I never got the chance to paint them.." Kyungsoo's voice echoed in every part of the silent room once he saw her looking at the space for too long. Sora blushed visibly and she immediately held her cheeks in horror, wondering what the hell is wrong with her to blush just hearing Kyungsoo's voice talking to her.       Sora coughed embarrassedly and walked further inside, locking the door behind her before she did so. Awkwardly, she stood at the tips of his bed, looking around his room with awkward stand and awkward attitude. Kyungsoo's eyes was boring holes to her back and she was aware of that. It kinda made her crept out by his sudden looks towards her.       "Come closer.. Sit beside me," Sora stared at Kyungsoo with startled expression, was it her or did Kyungsoo just tell her to sit beside him? With a gulp, she walked to Kyungsoo and softly sat herself on his bed, one meter away from his body.        To her, Kyungsoo was extremely relaxed, in which made her weirded out. He was rather very calm and still now, not the usual stiff and cold behaviors he shows around her. She stared at him with innocent eyes and Kyungsoo stared back, titling his head to the side before frowning.       "Don't you feel this?" He started, and circled his fingers around the air, a confused expression was printed obviously on his face. Sora stared around her, looking at every corner of the room, but she couldn't grasp what Kyungsoo wanted her to see.     "No, I don't feel anything.."     "Exactly,"      "I'm sorry what?" Sora's mouth turned into an ugly scrunch as she frowned, she did not quite understand what the hell he was talking about especially that he doesn't talk to her usually, and the way he talks now confused her. Does he talk like this all the time? Even to his friends? Or is it just her he talks this way to? Considering she is the first female he had opened his mouth to.        "Sora, look back to your core energy, what do you see?"      "Kyungsoo, you are freaking me out. Why do you suddenly want..-"     "Sora, please just do it," seeing the pleading look on his face, Sora could not help but sigh softly before nodding her head. She closed her eyes softly and took a really fast peek at her core. She creased her brows and took a deep sigh, trying to know what was wrong with her core energy that made Kyungsoo so messed up.       Everything was normal, every boy's orb were twirling around each other in a playful rhythm. Pink, blue, yellow and black orbs were glowing really strong, indicating the huge amount of power they held. It was normal, and she didn't know why he was so sca–     Wait a minute.       One orb is missing, the green orb is missing.       With a gasp of surprise, Sora opened her eyes to stare widely at Kyungsoo, who softly nodded his head at her with the heaviest sigh he could master. Now she understands what he mean by can she feel it, no she wasn't feeling it anymore, the feelings of confusion, the tugs on her heart— everything was gone!     "Oh !"        --       "Kim ing Joonmyeon!"        Sora headed downstairs with anger invading every part of her body, she couldn't let go of Kyungsoo's thought away, who was calmly walking behind her with his head lowered to the ground, as she darted towards the living room like a bull ready to attack it's preys.       "What? What? What?" Terrified and completely startled, Suho lifted up from his place and glanced at the girl with wide eyes. Every boy around her stood up as well while Luhan hid his brother behind his back as if she was going to attack his little brother; as if she'll do it, he is like her best boy in the whole universe.        The boys all shared a look when they saw Kyungsoo hiding behind Sora with lowered head, not even daring to lift his head to glance at them straight in the eye. He was fidgeting with his fingers as he avoided every figure around him and stiffly stood behind Sora, unmoving.        "Kyungsoo's powers are gone! Suho! They are gone!" Sora covered her eyes with her hands frustratingly, not even knowing what to do anymore now that her connection with Kyungsoo was completely gone. She doesn't even understand how. She has a copy of Kyungsoo's powers and it wasn't her own that disappeared, it was Kyungsoo's, but why did her copy disappear as well?       "What?!" Everyone shouted, and Sora softly nodded her head, earning a disbelief scoff from Yoora who sat back down on her chair with a smirk.        Sora headed to her previous seat and sat down, her head still lowered to the ground with her palms covering her forehead now.      "Yes, I couldn't believe it as well but his connection with is gone. I can't feel his powers too," said Sora with a frown, lifting her head up to glance at Suho with worry written on her face.       "Why is that Suho?" She questioned, and Suho headed to her and sat next to her, patting her back with a tender expression on his face, though he clearly was worried too.      "Everything would be alright Sora. Don't worry," he said before glancing back at Kyungsoo, who was being attacked by his brother's questions and furious glares. Kyungsoo shared a look with Suho before shaking his head softly at his leader, who blew a big sigh of annoyance before standing up with his hands on his hips, expression turning serious before he spoke, not before he takes a glance around him at s.     "Okay, calm down everyone! We need to ask him some questions to know if what I have on mind now is true or not," Everyone scattered away from Kyungsoo, and Sora would have been in awe at the leader aura that was radiating from him, but unfortunately she doesn't have the time to be amazed as she hurriedly straightened in her seat, wanting to hear what he would say.     "Kyungsoo, how many men were there when you were attacked?" Suho started, and Kyungsoo's shy appearance around Sora was starting to reveal itself around his hyung as well.       "Three or maybe four. I don't know I was attacked from the back, I didn't have the chance to see how many they were."       "Alright, three or four. There were only two of them when we came to rescue you, did they perhaps fled away?"        "I guess so..? I don't know I was on the ground before I can see them. I stomped on the earth and she ate them up.." Sora wanted to ask him about this mysterious 'she' he mentioned but didn't have the urge to say anything in this tensed situation. She also had a thought that maybe Kyungsoo likes to refer the earth as a she.       "Yup, they fled away alright," sarcastically, Yoora replied as she ate an apple she took from the basket in front of her. Sora swore she saw Kyungsoo glare at the girl hardly before looking back at his fingers in anxiety. Unconsciously, Sora stood from her place and sat herself next to the fidgety boy who stiffened visibly at her close proximity. Sora spread his fingers away from each other and intertwined her own with his, squeezing tightly to reassure him that she won't do anything. He firstly stiffened and refused to look at her, but soon he sighed and relaxed in his position next to her.        Sora swore she saw Suho glaring at her intertwined hands together with Kyungsoo before looking away, Sora liked to believe because of her taunting glare towards him that he looked away.        "Do you remember anything else Kyungsoo? Like did they take some blood from you?" At Kris' irritated question, Kyungsoo seemed to stiffen even more than before and Sora was super sure it wasn't because of her that he did that now.       "Oh god," Kyungsoo suddenly let go of her hands to rest them heavily on his face, letting out a soft growl of annoyance and absolute vulnerability. At his sudden change of expression, every one of the boys stiffened as well and Suho let out a soft curse under his breath before sitting his down on the sofa heavily, as if throwing his entire weight on that poor thing.       " my mom is going to murder me," Sora heard the boy sigh heavily beside her and she couldn't help but frown, his mother should be happy that he is still alive and not dead and all he think about is that she'll kill him because of mere powers?        "What the hell is going on?" Yoora had enough of this pointless conversation and stood up with furrowed eyebrows as she glanced at everyone around her, wanting them to explain everything to her as she felt like a useless piece of rag no one cares for.     "Not now Yoora," Baekhyun muttered softly as he ruffled his hair away from his face in annoyance. Yoora looked at him for a second with a glare before looking back at Suho with a confused expression.     "Tell me, what is going on? Why is Kyungsoo looking like this?" She started again, walking up to stand in front of Suho with innocent eyes and pouty face. Suho looked down at her with a frown, not realizing why she suddenly looked so fake to him when he used to think she is the most beautiful dongsaeng he has ever looked at.        Suho shook his head before ignoring her completely, making her gape at him. Never in her entire life was she ignored by Suho like this as she was really spoiled by him to the max, but now seeing him acting so coldly towards her like this made her blood boil and she didn't find anyone to blame but Sora.       Looking back at the girl, Yoora scowled before heading towards her with a frown, poking her forehead strongly to catch her attention.     "You ! This is your doing isn't it?! Ever since you were crowned as the thirteenth royal you became a source of headaches!" Immediately Sehun stood up from his place and headed to the mentally ill girl, he gave her wrist a tug before throwing her in one of the couches, making her fall back on the sofa with a heavy screech.      "Yah!" Surprised, Yoora screamed at him, but his heavy cold glare and the sudden accelerating speed of the air around them scared her and she shut immediately, cowering back into the sofa as her safety resource.       "Touch Sora again and I'll break your fingers,"      "Sehun!" Sora exclaimed in disbelief, surprised that he would treat her like this. No matter what bad deeds she did, never ever touch a woman like this and give her this tone when you speak with her. She doesn't know why Sehun is acting like how he acted towards her the first time he started drifting away. He had assaulted her and told her to off of his face, and now he is repeating the same thing to Yoora. No one, and she means no one should be treated the way she was treated even if Yoora was a cold hearted .        Sehun turned to Sora, surprised at her exclaim before walking towards her with a dejected expression. He thought that she would support him in his action
