A wish is a wish: Bring back
„You know, Darkness" Sarah mumbles quietly „I hate sleeping. Whenever I sleep, I dream. I don't understand it, why do I have such an ability, why do I have to bear this burden, why didn't I know about Be-Gak? Just why...? I feel sick..."
She lies with her back on her bed, one arm draped over her face, Darkness sleeping soundly on her stomach.
„I'm tired..."
I'm tired...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„Are you sure you're okay?" Cho-Yi wonders as he sits down beside Sarah „You seem kind of down... Yuna-nunim?"
„Pipe down" She whisperes with a depressed air around her, holding her face with one hand „I told you to call me Sarah. S-A-R-A-H. It's my name and that's final"
„Okay, okay" He says with a sympathetic smile „But you don't seem okay. The last time you looked this horrible was two years ago. What happened this time? And don't try to keep it from me, I won't be able to help you like that"
„It's not something that can be helped with in the first place" She mutters like detached from the world, removing the hand from her face.
He looks genuinly worried „Then what is it?"
„One sentence" She mumbles quietly „Fate cannot be changed once it's finale"
I already thought it would end like this...

„What are you argueing about?" Sarah questions with a tired look when she enters Jin's house.
„Ah, Sister-in-law!" Ah-Ra exclaims cheerful.
/That girl...!/ Sarah frowns.
You're my family you know, I raised you after all!
„We aren't argueing" The female Tal exclaims.
…
Sarah doesn't believe a word of it „Then why does it look like that old hag is choking the glutton?"
Sarah smiles tired and shakes her head.
She breaks the two fighting Tals apart by ruffling their hair „You should behave better"
Baek-Jeong stares after her dumbfounded and Ha Na Rin looks completely frozen.
„Where are you going?" Ah-Ra wonders sweetly.
„I'm going to sleep in the living room for now" Sarah waves at her.
You're the one person I will protect, after all, you always protected me
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The corner of her mouth twitches dangerously, her nerves nearly at the limit, the three idiots who attacked her once before standing before her „Come on..." Sarah glares at them furious „Now you're even attacking when I'm on my way to school?!
A few punches later~
„Listen" Sarah kicks one on the head with a malicious and menacing atmosphere „If you attack me one more time... Then I will tie you up, throw you down a ravine, nearly drown you to death in a raging river, wrap you in pink wrapping paper and send you to Be-Gak as a stress reliever"
Don't complain! You had it coming!
The three Chachaoong flee in terror while shouting curses and yelling for help. Sarah sighs and turns around to jolt completely awake.
„What in the living hells are you doing here?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" She shouts at the black-haired Tal, clutching the spot where the heart is located.
„I'm sorry, Yu-... Sarah-nunim" He scratches his cheek apologetic „I didn't mean to scare you"
She calms down a bit but not completely „It's okay, I know you didn't mean it. Do you need help with something?"
„Not really" He admits „It's just that I have a free day and saw you fighting those guys. But I wonder why no normal people came by during this"
She looks to the side „Remember that some Chachaoong can lead people away? I can do that, too"
He smiles brightly „Nunim sure is talented"
Quit teasing me! Y-... You... You horrible old hag!
Excuse me?
She looks down embarrassed „Not really, it's just something Chachaoongs do to keep humans oblivious to us"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„Jin and Yi-Mae aren't here yet?" Sarah yawns „It's already past dinner time"
„I agree, I'm hungry..." Baek-Jeong helpfully supplies.
She deadpans „Well, th- Ouch!"
All eyes are on her.
„What happened?" Ha Na Rin asks rudely.
There are times when one is supposed to be a coward, and not brave!
Sarah holds her arm with a pained expression „Nothing!" She stands up and goes out of the house „I will go now"
She runs out and further into town.
„What the hell was that for?" She glowers angry „There was no need to attack me with your claws, Darkness"
The pet just peeks out of her bag and yawns, a vein popping on Sarah's head.
She sighs and continues on her way „Now, where was that place I saw this morning?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„You saw it?" The silver-haired girl asks.
Maru turns to her surprised „You're that Nuna from back then!"
Mu-Young doesn't move from where he's standing „You knew... that something like this would happen?" The tall male questions with a low voice.
Why won't you listen? I'm sure I'm not the only one telling you to stop
She smiles defeated „With the bad feeling this night gives off? I had a guess but I wasn't too sure. But that isn't that important right now..." She finishes hesitant.
Mu-Young finally turns to her, his expression still shaken from what he saw earlier „What do you mean?"
Sarah puts a hand on her chin in wonder „You can use your Yongma to move around, right? Go search for Jin, the kiddo here and I will search by foot. ... I have a really bad premonition"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„be" Mu-Young hears the end of a sentence when he appears in the park with Shadow's help.
He looks around, spotting three grey-haired people, one lying on the ground. As he looks to his left he sees a man with long red-black hair and Yi-Mae. The two are looking straight at him, the unknown man's expression shadowed.
„What are you doing here? Weren't you at home?" Yi-Mae questions the Yongma user rather harsh.
/What's with that guy...?!/ Mu-Young wonders pissed off „I could ask the same!" He looks around again „Where's Jin? Weren't you with him? Sarah told me to look for him..."
Yi-Mae opens his mouth-
„He's okay"
-only to be interrupted by the man next to him.
Let go!
The gunner narrows his eyes „How do you know that?" He asks, suspecious of the man „Who are you anyway? I don't know someone like you, are you a friend of that Tal bastard?"
„..." He doesn't reply.
Mu-Young grows furious „Say something, damn it!"
Yi-Mae walks in front of the man „Stop being so aggressive and pipe down, Jin is safe"
Mu-Young calms down a bit but his expression is still one of anger „And who are those three?" He points behind him with his thumb.
Yi-Mae shifts his attention to them „...Those two are of no concern to you"
„Two?" Mu-Young repeats confused and checks again „Are you blind, there are three" He says matter-of-factly.
Please... please... it can't end this way...Please, Sarah...
„Ah..." The Tal answeres „The third one is most likely de-"
„He's alive" The unknown man claims, much to Yi-Mae's surprise.
The man looks at a row of trees and smiles faintly.
He lifts his head to look at the night sky „The spell will wear off soon. ...She really fooled you and the two over there, huh?"
Yi-Mae understands instantly and sighs „Couldn't she have told us or given us a sign? Honestly..."
Mu-Young has several question marks floating over his head „Who?"
The Tal smirks „A friend. You know about Chuh-Yong's Gwishin's, right?" A shudder from Mu-Young „She can summon Gwishin's as well. One of them can turn time back three seconds on an object or person"
„And I assume she let this Gwishin do that to the grey-haired man?" Mu-Young guesses.
„Exactly" Yi-Mae confirms „When the mark exploded it instantly turned the time of his body three seconds back. But the blood from the earlier explosion is still there, see? That makes him look like he's dead since the shock from the explosion and weight of her ability made him pass out"
Ugh...
„The weight of her ability?"
„He means that Hil-Jo's body couldn't take it all at once" The unknown supplies „You should head back to... 'Sarah' was it?, you can tell her what happened here and that Jin is okay"
„Okay..." The gunner replies hesitant and wary, vanishing again with Shadow's help.
„Was it okay for him to see you Master?" Yi-Mae asks.
„I didn't expect it but he didn't figure it out after all" The man replies „So it's fine"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After bringing Jin home, Yi-Mae returns to the park. He sees Sarah standing aside the three Laons, talking to them.
She notices him „Ah, you're back"
„You could say so" He answeres „Those three are alright?" A nod from her „Seeing the third suddenly alive sure is a shock"
She exhales sharply „It was a bother, setting up the Gwishin to use the ability right on time while I was elsewhere" She smiles a bit „I gave them a letter for that stupid musician, don't worry"
Since when were you this clumsy, Be-Gak?
