The 5th Dimension (The Faerie Realms-Lands of Spring) "Tina, no!" Haneul woke up with a start. He lost consciousness trying to get to Tina. One minute he was opening the door to her room, and the next he completely blacked out. The feeling of dread that hit him when she first screamed grew ten times larger in his chest as he realized that she had really gone. "What happened?" Theodora came in, along with Amara and Alice, "Haneul, where is she?" "She--she went to help Minho. I tried to stop her, but she stepped into the light, I---" Haneul said, distressed. Amara watched him with widened eyes. She has never seen Haneul this panicked. "Did you see where she went? Haneul?" Theodora asked, crouching down before the angel. "Olympus. They're in Olympus." Haneul said. "What's happening? Everything alright?" LJ came in, looking a bit exhausted. Veronica trailed after him slowly. "Tina went to where Minho is, alone. They're in Olympus." Theodora reported, looking a bit pale. Whateve

The 5th Dimension (Just Outside Olympus) "Why are you looking at me like that?" Veronica asked Alice as they both stomped into Olympian territory in their too-thin clothes. She shuddered, wondering if she should switch into a higher dimensional form. But then again, that would leave her physical vessel vulnerable. "Nothing much. Just wondering why you're still helping us even after Haneul told you where Geronimo is." Alice replied, "Also, I'm wondering what happened between you and LJ in your room yesterday." Veronica stiffened at Alice's familiar tone, "Don't mention that name in my presence." "Who?" Alice smirked, "Geronimo or LJ?" Veronica narrowed her eyes at Alice, debating whether to take the bait or not."Oh, how I missed your fights. Are you sure neither of you wants to visit us sometime?" a voice interrupted their teasing. It was Fabienne, Monique's guardian. Although Veronica doubted she was meeting them in that capacity. The demon turned towards Alice, wondering what h

The 5th Dimension (Olympus) Veronica found herself running faster and faster. She tried to travel out but still could only get flickers of her magic. She cursed in frustration. It normally didn't take long for the magic to reemerge in a new dimension. Needless to say, Olympus wasn't her type of place. She was beginning to lose all hope when she bumped into someone. It was LJ, dressed like the god Bacchus. Twines of vines barely covered his naked torso, and he had the most preposterous red-purple cloth around his waist. Veronica sputtered out a laugh, "What the hell are you wearing?"LJ dipped his head, blushing, "V, I--uh--we had trouble getting in--Where's Alice?" Veronica opened her mouth to reply, still trying to figure out how to deal with LJ looking like that. Unbidden, the moment they shared in her bedroom sprang to her head, and the words did not come. It was probably just as well, as she could hear the clanking of armor again from a distance, and a hand had forced her head

The 4th Dimension (Tina's Dreams) It was the first time she met Haneul, only it wasn't him. Tina did not know why she was there, but it was a welcome reprieve from the horrible prison she was in, which she probably is still in. She stepped aside as she saw little Tina fall on her bike, crying as she scraped her knee. But instead of Haneul, like how it happened before, a man with a hunched back approached her instead. Tina couldn't hear what they were saying, it was so much like the vision that she had in Hell, but she did see the man look straight into her with a nod. Tina opened her mouth to say something, anything, but she was mute for some reason, too. "Tina," Minho appeared beside her. She gasped at the sight of him. Grasping the collar of his shirt with her hands, she inspected him, "Are you alright? What was that? What did they do?" Minho frowned, "It was as much a mystery to me as it was to you. But I'm guessing they moved Olympus somewhere else. We're in the fourth dime

New York City, USA (July 2019) Alice's absence has made the faerie realms dangerous for them. The tree house was unstable and they were on high alert, unable to sense the tiniest bit of danger in the dimension as well as Alice could. They had to find someplace else to hide. Naturally, Veronica was the one who had to take it upon herself to look for someone, and her choice was a bit suspect to Haneul. "Are you sure he's going to help us?" the angel asked, frowning. "Yes, he owes me his life," Veronica said. "I wouldn't say my life, but yes, I owe you one." Alpha Stefano stepped into the foyer of his grand mansion to greet his guests, "I can't promise my men would be as welcoming as I am, though. I told them to give you a chance. You're going to have to earn their favor yourselves. They're especially worried since the supernatural CP has been keeping a closer eye on us lately." "Stefano, dear." Veronica smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek.It was the most agreeable Haneul had

Athens, Greece (July 1987) Alice woke Tina up, glancing behind her every now and then. "Hey," Tina opened her eyes once again. She didn't know when she passed out after witnessing Monique's conversation with Alice, but she found herself able to move this time. Upon seeing Alice, Tina distanced herself away from the faerie, "Get away from me." Alice sighed, "Come on, Tina. Don't be mean." "How could you betray us?" Tina asked, "LJ would've been fine, Alice. We would've won. How could you just give up that easily?" "Tina--" "Where's Minho?" "You never do listen, don't you?" Alice huffed in frustration. "Why should I?" Tina snapped back at her. She felt so betrayed, so alone. And to think she actually liked the faerie. "I don't have to explain anything to you, Tina. I did what I had to do. To keep LJ safe. To keep everyone safe, including Monique." Alice said firmly. "Why would you ever want to save that monster?" Tina asked, incredulous. Alice inclined her head, "I'd

The 4th Dimension (Tina's Dreams) "Minho. Oh my God. How--" Tina's panic seemed to be without bounds, but she stopped in her tracks as she realized something. The man who was beside Minho was also Minho. No way. Did Minho have an identical twin or was she seeing double? "What?" Tina murmured, now positively confused. But neither of the two Minhos could hear her. "Hyung. Come on. You can make it. Don't leave me here." Minho was crying, trying to stop his twin's bleeding. But one didn't have to be a doctor to know. The bleeding was too profuse, the wound too deep. He was gone. "Minho," Tina crouched down next to him as he wept by his brother's side. She felt the pinpricks of tears herself and touched his shaking shoulders, but he didn't even notice, "I'm so sorry." She whispered. Tina didn't know why she did it. She was far from getting over Haneul. Maybe it was the desperation that she felt at the moment, or maybe it was purely the connection she had with Minho. But Tina took hi

New York, USA (July 2019) Three days had passed, the cloak was getting weaker and Haneul had arrived alone back at the werewolf house. "They'll be here any minute now," Haneul assured them. "Well, you better hurry up because my men are getting restless. This is not what we agreed on." Stefano glared at Veronica. He had been saying this over and over, alarmed at the state of the battle outside. The Mirror Division had arrived to assist their fellow angels, but they were barely able to make any changes to the tides of the battle. Any minute, the demons could have the chance to redirect their efforts in spotting where they were. "Just chill, dear husband. Everything will work out just fine." Veronica told Stefano. "Wait...husband?" LJ asked. Veronica ignored him. "If I know Monique, she will be coming for the angels first. They'll meet each other at the door and they'll fight it out. That will buy us some time to enact whatever plan Haneul has." she turned to Haneul, "Speaking o

New York, USA (July 2019) New York had frozen in time, the humans disappearing along with it. It could only mean one thing when a dimension that consisted of reality was suspended like this. The demons were now attacking the angels, just mere paces away from the werewolf house. "I told you so," Veronica said grimly as she observed the chaos from one of Stefano's balconies. "If I remember correctly, I was the one who predicted what would happen first," Haneul said, trying to make light of the situation. Still, his stomach twisted at the number of angels that would be sacrificed just for them to achieve their goal. "And I supported you all the way, so I win, too," Veronica replied. "We need to get out of here while they're busy." Haneul said, "Right now, it's just the supernatural CP. But once they figure out we're here, they'll be asking for reinforcements from the Mirrors Division.' "Duh." Veronica said, flexing her fingers above her, "I've been readying myself to do some rel

New York, USA (July 2019) "Quit pacing. I can't concentrate." Veronica was getting ready for the relocation spell and Stefano was nervously hanging around her, giving her an almighty headache. "A battle is happening outside my gates. How am I supposed to relax?" Stefano grunted. "We'll be fine. We'll be out of here soon enough before any of them turns their attention to us." Veronica said. If she just wasn't doing anything important, she might have marveled and laughed at the great Alpha Stefano's uncharacteristic display of anxiety. But alas, her hands were full. "For the last time, moving our place was not part of the agreement," Stefano repeated. "That's it." Veronica snapped, "So what? You would rather end up getting caught in an all-out battle between the literal forces of good and evil?" "I don't--I--" Stefano stammered, "I never should've agreed to help you. I knew when you said you needed a space to crash, you really meant you needed people to die for you." "Oh, p
