Chapter 35: There's Always a Solution   It was hopeless, but she wouldn't want to believe it. Through the darkness, she still tried hard to look around, but couldn't. Her hands were frantically flying around everywhere, her body turning 360 degrees around, but she still couldn't find that person that she is looking for. She dreaded for the worst, she didn't know it will come so soon.   Her mind was in a mess, it was tangled up, much like her hands now. She wants to scream, but found herself not able to do so – she had no voice anymore. She was panicking, it was like her mind just ran through a marathon, she couldn't think of what to do.   She was scared.   For once, she feared for what was going on.   “Help! Soo– Mmmph!” A scream from Jessica startled her, she turned her body again. Her hands flew around before hitting something – or someone, to be exact.   A pair of hands grabbed hold of her arms and shook her. She heard some voices, some muffles, before another pair of hands cupped her cheeks. That hand wasn't warm, she realised. It wasn't the warm hands that she wanted to hold onto now.   “Unnie! Are you alright?” She heard the voice, much clearer now.   The lights came on soon enough and she quickly scanned through the room. There was only the three of them in the huge living room now.   Heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway before she saw her father appearing with a worried look. “Is anyone hurt?”   I am. She wanted to reply. My head hurts.   “Sica and Fany, Sir!” Sooyoung shouted at the top of her voice that it rang in her ear.   Fany.   Where is she?   Her mind was at a lost.   “Where are they?” The king asked, in a much calmer tone as compared to Sooyoung.   “I– they–” Sooyoung stuttered and stopped talking when Seohyun touched her arm.   “The lights went out for a moment earlier on and that's when the two were captured, Appa.” Seohyun answered on behalf of her cousin.   “I see.” The king paused. “Guards! Search around the whole place thoroughly! I want the two girls to be safe from any harm! Understand?!”   “Yes, Sir!” The men behind the king shouted as they ran off.   “Now, TaeYeon.” The king went forward to the person whom he was the most worried about. He knew that this was going to happen soon, and by the time it does, his daughter would be the one who will be lost in the middle of nowhere. “Listen to Appa, alright? I will make sure that they will be safe and nothing will happen to them. So, stay here with Seoh– TaeYeon!”   She had already ran off before her father could finish his sentence. She was not going to listen to his father and stay and do nothing, not anymore. Tiffany's life much depends on her now, and she knows it.   She can imagine Tiffany now with her tears stained face, crying for her to help her. She doesn't want her nightmare to really come true. She was not going to stand still and not chase after her. She was going to save her.   I'll be there, Fany. Be strong and don't let anything happen to you before I reach you. Please.   She banged open the door to the back of the house and what welcomed her was almost like a battlefield. There were growling everywhere as she saw bodies that are lying lifelessly on the ground. She recognised those that are wearing her clan's suit, but the others, are most probably going to be the people that she wished to kill most now.   Her feet had only stepped out when she felt a gush of wind and a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and there were three people smiling back at her.   “You wouldn't want to leave without this, Unnie.” Seohyun handed over a blade and a pistol to TaeYeon who kept it safely at the sheath on her thigh.   “And you wouldn't want to leave without your best buddy too, Taeng.” Sooyoung smiled. “If you're going, then I'll also be by your side. We have someone to save now, don't we?” Her smile seemed a little sad at that moment. Sica...   “Thanks. Thank you, all of you.” She went forward and gave all of them a brief hug before pulling away. She was not going to waste anymore time.   “Well, run along then, TaeYeon. Appa and Seohyun will be here waiting for the two of you to bring them both back.” The king said and she nodded.   She turned around, looked at the messy scene and then to her friend beside her. The two nodded to one another before running forward.   “They are going to be alright, right, Appa?” Seohyun asked.   “Yes, they will.” The kind wrapped his arm around his daughter's shoulder. Let's just hope for the best.   --   She ran, dodged, blocked and attacked. There were so many of them here, it's almost like a endless battle.   Another of them came forward, rushing towards her with a pocket knife on his hand. She dodged and he ended up missing her. He skied on the floor before turning around with a growl.   This is taking too much time.   He charged forward and she waited there, not moving. Until he came just an inch away from her, she then moved away by only a footstep to the side and grabbed hold of his neck. With a crack, he then fell onto the ground with what seemed like a crooked neck.   She looked around, trying to look for a certain friend when she saw an enemy creeping behind said person with a knife high above. “Behind you!” She shouted and watched as Sooyoung elbowed the person behind her while handling the other person in front of her.   She sprint forward and twisted the guy's arm when he tried to attack Sooyoung again. The knife then dropped onto the ground and she quickly grabbed hold of it and pierced it down into the guy's neck.   She turned around just in time to see that man that Sooyoung was dealing with a moment ago was now on the ground. She went closer to the taller girl while being wary of her surroundings. “This is taking too much time, we won't be able to get out of this scene if we continue to fight on.” TaeYeon said.   “I know. Then let's not fight and just get out.”   “Huh? How?”   “Just ignore all of them and go forward.”   “They will still attack us, you know? Especially me. I bet Lee Donghae wants me dead.” TaeYeon clenched her jaw.   “I know that, but I bet that he would want to kill you with his bare hands so you don't have to worry about being killed here.”   “Oh, wow.” She snorted. “Thanks a lot.” She said, full of sarcasm.   “Now, let's just stop talking and start going.”   She took in a deep breath. “Let's.”   --   From what she could remember, a moment ago she was just holding TaeYeon's hand, and then the next moment, she felt someone pulling her away. The lights from the house then went out and she had no idea where she was heading to until she went out of the house.   She squinted her eyes at the sudden brightness and recognised the surrounding as the back of the house. She looked down and then realised that a hand was still holding onto her wrist tightly. She tried to shake it off but the person who was holding her merely tightened his hold.   She was scared for that moment. It was like history was repeating itself, just that this time she was pretty much awake. She knew who was behind this, and she didn't want to meet him, not at all.   From behind her, she could hear some shuffling of feet and some muffled voices before the new intruder appeared. She looked and immediately gasped. “Jess!”   The called girl looked up in surprise. “Tiff!” She tried to run towards her friend and break free from the guy that was behind her but it wasn't that easy for her to do so judging by the man's size. “What's going on?” Jessica asked in panic.   Tiffa
