Chenle's voice caught me offguard.
"Yes."
Jeno walks with me. His steps are rushed with exitement.
"She is a genius!" said Jeno in front of Chenle while smiling.
Chenle just looked at him. Lifting his face slightly, signalling Jeno to keep going.
"She amplified the bomb perfectly that it scared me, i already send the design to 127."
Chenle nodded.
Whoa, did he just said that?
"Okay."
The other boys had their eyes set at me. They are now grouping at the couch where Jaemin sat earlier.
"Hey, i'm Xiao Yue."
"I'm Renjun," said the boy that offered gun and dagger to Chenle earlier. His expression is cold.
"I'm Haechan, i work at the Tech things, Renjun is one of the overviews*."
"Jisung."
The tall boy said his name. Avoiding my gaze by looking at the window.
"Okay, we know each other now, yeah?" asked Jaemin
Haechan and Jeno nodded in sync.
Guess i will have to gain trust from the others.
A man in suit appeared behind me.
"Yes, Master," the man named Sebastian said.
"May i escort you to your room My Lady?" Sebastian asked.
I nod my head.
Xiao Yue is sitting on her room as the afternoon runs out of its shine. It has been a few hours. She nibbles on a pastry that is prepared for her dinner.
Her eyes stares at the window. Wondering where this place is.
The night came to its true self eventually.
The girl lay down on the bed. Unable squeeze out her tears.
Suddenly a faint noice heard from outside. It sounded like a sob.
Xiao Yue gulped.
She steps out of her room. The noice became louder as she walk to a room with the door slightly open.

Someone screamed. She peeks inside.
Chenle buried his face on his palms. His hair is a mess. His fingers curled as he kept shaking.
Chenle doesn't look very good. I don't see Sebastian anywhere. The others are not here either.
Should i come in?
Will i die if i do?
Argh.
I am having a dilema. Whether to calm Chenle or safe myself from what might happen.
His silent cry muffled by his palms.
I finally step in to the room.
"H-hey, are you okay?"
He gasped. He snapped his stare at me.
He grabbed something under his bed frame.
Crap.
It's a gun.
His eyes are pitch black. His sweaty hand prepared to pull the trigger.
To my surprise, i dare to kick the gun off his hands. The gun made a thud after it hit the floor.
Chenle charges at me with a devilish smile.
I finally recognize what he was going through.
Or so i thought.
His strangely loud behavior and pitch black eyes are like day and night with his cold self.
He may not be 'Chenle'.
I hug him with all my strength.
He tried to rip me off but failing because he had no energy left.
"Hey, take a deep breath and release it slowly."
I repeatedly said the same sentences. His knees finally gave out. We slump on to the floor.
His face was buried on my shoulder as he let out a muffled cry.
"Its okay, i don't know why you look so scared but you're inside your own house."
"No one's going to hurt you."

The Patchwork Realms
Athos is a good dog. He likes frisbee, bacon, and his family (SmolFriend, Mom, and Dad). He's not so keen on falling through an interdimensional portal to a fantasy world where floating boxes tell you that you've just been given status as the 'Supreme Exemplar' of your species, a powerful package of abilities that includes human-level intelligence. Sure, being smart is nice but less so when it comes with the need to survive in a land made from bits of different dimensions stitched together like patches in a quilt. A thousand species, a thousand lands, sorcery and super science rubbing elbows, wars and intrigue everywhere...it's exhausting for a good dog who just wants to go home! Note that this is a work in progress with lots of fiddly numbers so I will occasionally need to go back and fix errors, and this might affect events of earlier chapters. I'll try to keep this to a minimum and will post a note whenever it happens. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
