JENNIE
After an hour of procrastination, browsing on her phone, taking a bath, feeding her child and cleaning their room, René finally decided to hold the book and started reading it.
Anna, Minari, Charmaine and I— the gorgeous Queen— were just staring at her, waiting for her until she finished what she needs to read.
"I don't think I can do this." She said after she finished one page.
"You can do it, it's for everyone's sake." Anna reminds her, holding her shoulder with a little too tight. Her face telling us that— we f*****g waited for you and then you'll tell us that you can't?! The f**k was that— face.
"What if I take you in a wrong place?" She asked worriedly.
"This is why Charmaine is here." I said and sat in the couch next to Minari.
René looked at Charmaine and the latter nod her head reassuringly. "Just try, we're vampires, we can fight."
"Ok, I'll try, but I won't promise that it'll be succesful in my first try."
"Relax, if anything bad happens, we'll gonna sacrifice Naian." I said, earning a glare from the bunny teeth girl and laughters from the other girls.
"Sacrifice me if it's the Demons." Naian scoffed.
"This is the reason why you want to go, right?" Charmaine asked chuckling dryly.
"Not that I'm interested saving Ella and, yeah. I just want to see those demons."
"You do know that there are goddess Jennie and Demon Naian on their world, are you still up to flirt with them?" Sana asked.
"I know but I'm certain, don't question my dedication."
"Ooh rhymes, now shut up and let Irene do her work." Charmaine scolds and shush Naian.
We became silent for almost three minutes as we were trying to give René a silent surroundings, but since Naian is with us, she couldn't stay for at least 5 seconds and we had to kick her out of the library room.
"I'll give it try now." René said as she shut the book and released a sharp breath.
"Should I open the door for Naian?" Charmaine asked and they looked at me.
I took a deep breath before nodding my head. Mrs.Kimmerson walked towards the door while René started to chant the spell.
Mrs.Yoo, who's frowning deeply with her arms cross, she mumbles. "I hate you." And her frowns fell deeper as I just snorted at her.
"Do it." I instruct and Irene shut her eyes off.
"Don't—!" Charmaine tried to stop Mrs. Wang from snapping her fingers but it was too late when we appeared into the place that has no way near to the Demon's mansion.
"René, we need to get out of here, we're all gonna die!" Naian said in a panic while hiding her face behind Sana's back.
"Where are we?" I asked while sitting at the roof of a car with my arms and legs crossed, left brow arching and waiting for someone to tell me where are we.
"I don't know, but it looks like a mortal world." Anna said, her head shifting left and right, checking the perimeter.
"Abandoned mortal world." Minari added.
My eyes shifted to Naian in mock stares and turns to our surroundings.
The dead city of Gangnam greets my eyes, deserted place, ruined establishments, wrecked vehicles around in every corner of the road, the place was really abandoned by mortals and I released a sigh of disappointment.
"I was expecting that the Demon will see me in this position."
Naian suddenly stepped out behind Anna and raised her left brow to me. "Why?" She asked accusative.
"Nothing, I just want to be cool." I replied and jumped off from the roof of the wrecked car. "We better get bac—."
"Quick! Hide!" Charmaine warns and grabs my hand before jumping high.
We landed at one high tower with the other girls and Charmaine pointed at the group of mortal walking down the road.
"I thought this place was abandoned?" René asked.
"Yeah, that's why I tried to stop you and those shits aren't mortal anymore, they are zombies." Charmaine said.
"Woah, an apocalypse." Naian mumbles, eyeing the group of Zombies cripplingly walking at the road, probably looking for some brains to eat.
"Try to go down there, they'll ingore you." I said and looked at Naian.
"Excuse me? No one in this world can resist my beaut—."
"They eat brains, Naian." Minari cut her off, eyes still bore at the zombies.
"And?" Naian asked.
"You don't—."
"I'm not going to give them what they want." Naian said to interrupt Minari this time.
"You don't have one, what are you going to give them anyway." Minari continues. I don't know how hard I bit my lower lip to suppress my laugh while waiting for Naian to realize what was Minari trying to say.
"I do have beauty in my face!" Naian scowled and looked down at the bottom of the building.
We wait, staring at Naian, she cringed at the sight of zombies with green liquid coming out from their mouth, skin tearing off of their faces and then she opened her mouth, she looked at Minari and back to the zombies and she snap.
"You little piece of s**t that lives in the anime world but born in a cowboy country! I do f*****g have a brain!"
That's when we broke into loud harsh cackle of laughters. With Anna throwing her head at the back, me giggling while covering my mouth, Charmaine laughing silently and René... laugh like a whole Hyena like Anna. Wow..
"You have one, but a little slow, ain't it?"
"Shut the f**k up." Naian growled and turns to René. "Let's—."
"I can't.." René said shyly when she stop laughing abruptly.
"You can't what?" Charmaine asked.
"I don't know how to cast spell to go back."
"W-what? Oh God! There's no way in hell I will live with zombies and leaving Yujin alone with Ella back at the kingdom!"
"Do you have a f*****g problem with Ella?" I asked and stood firmly, it's as if, one wrong word from Naian, she'll die.
"You do have a problem with your own child, what more are we?" She fired back and copied me.
We glared at each other, no one's tried to blink our eyes while the three other girls are watching us.
"Are you ready to die?" I asked.
"No." She replied sternly.
"Ok, then I'll ask you again later."
"Ok, I'll inform you." Naian said and we both turn to face the girls. "René, I think you should start studying on how will you get us back to the kingdom."
"As I should, but you two couldn't get your mouth shut up." She snarled and open the book, flip through some pages and stopped, maybe she already found what she was looking for. "I need space for a moment."
"b***h, we are not your lover, don't ask for space, we cannot give you that." Naian said.
"We're not Popoy."
"What?" I asked, staring at Anna ludicrously.
"Nothing, could've better if we give her what she needs." She replied and turned around, elbow sitting above the banister, looking down at the group of zombies who are still looking for mortal to eat.
We left René in her spot and gave her what she asked for, which is silence. The place was not really that abandoned as we can smell mortal's blood not too far from our spot, maybe one to two blocks away.
"Didn't the former Queen told us that Lisa's enemy are vampire zombies?" Minari suddenly asked.
"Right, but it's not possible that they are Vamzo."
"A what?"
"Vamzo, vampire zombies?" Naian said with expression of stating a fact, as if the chosen words are really applicable to vampire zombies. "or double undead, Vampires are undead, and so as zombies."
I clenched my eyes hardly while pursing my lips, recomposing what's left on me. "Naian, will you just please, never open your mouth to spout such invented words?"
"Right, yeah."
We fell in silence after that, silently watching the zombies approaching one building.
"There are mortals there." Minari said as silent as she could so we don't bother Irene.
"Damn bitches partying in apocalypse." I hissed as I jumped off of the building and landed on the rooftop of the another building, then jump again, until I reached the building where we can smell mortals.
"Zombie land it is." Charmaine said next to me after we finally landed at the specific building.
"Please tell me that Columbus wasn't there." Anna scoffed.
"We are in Korea, they're at L.A." I said before kicking the door and we walk down the stairs that leads to the floor where mortals are having a party.
"Stop." Charmaine said as I was about to open the last door.
"What now?" I asked impatiently.
"Whatever you might see inside, do not freak out." She warns. My brows furrowed and turns to Naian.
"You heard her?"
"Why do you hate me so much?" Naian scowled.
"I love you, I just don't feel you, get me?"
"Oh wow, mutual feelings." She snorted and push me on the side, grabs the doorknob and open the door. "Who the he— Lisa?"
All the girls behind the door stopped from whatever they are doing, though the music still blasting from the theater type speakers, but we all stood frozen in our spot. Looking at each other like this is the first time i. forever that we see each other.
"Babe!" Lisa exclaimed when she saw me behind Naian and she ran to me. "Babe, I missed you." She said as she engulfed me.
"W-what the hell are you girls doing here?" I asked and removed Lisa's arms on my neck. "And you're drunk!"
"Jen—." Charmaine tried to say something but the 5'3 woman spoke.
"I thought we're at war with the bottom industry, why are you hugging Jennie?" Jilian cut off while glaring at Charmaine.
"We're at what?" I asked and step backward.
"Didn't you and your bottom squad wants to travel and leave us here?" Seige said and I swear to God. The reaction in my face couldn't draw even with the best artist in the world.
We had a fight? Didn't Lisa and her squad are the ones who left us? And we didn't had a fight, and most of all, what the hell are they doing here? are we really not in the mortal world? in our own world? Not in any parallel universe s**t?
"Jilian, what are you talking about?" I asked confusedly.
"Don't mind her, Jen. I'm glad that you're back, but where are the other girls?" Lisa asked, holding my shoulders.
"They're at the kingdom, looking out for the kids." I answered."
"Kid? what kid? whose kid? there are kid's survivors?"
"What? Lisa, I'm talking about our daughter, their daughters."
"Oh my God! quick! hand me the shotgun, they got bitten by the zombies!" Lisa gasped as she ran back to the girls and they all grabs their weapons and pointed at us.
"Lis—."
"Don't get near me! Even if I love you so much and you are the love of my life—."
"They got bitten, just shoot her!" Jongy shouted to interrupt Lisa.
"I c-can't! oh s**t!" Lisa said while hands are trembling violently.
"What on Earth is happening?!" I snapped and throw a piercing look at Lisa who just avoided having an eye contact with me. "Malabon!"
"Shoot her, Lisa!"
"Jen, they are not our wives!" Charmaine shouted and grabs my hand but it was too late when a bullet pierce inside my right chest and a loud gunshot echoed the whole place.
"Oh no." Anna gasped behind me.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no." Naian sings song.
"W-what d-did you do?" I asked stuttering, looking down at the hole in my chest. "You shot me?"
"I told you, they are not my wives!" Charmaine hissed and she looked behind her, she pulled someone and used that as a human shield when Lisa and her squad started shooting us with tears running down their faces and we hid behind the door, leaving the human shield.
When the firing stopped, I face-palmed myself when I saw the mortal Naian, lying down the floor, blood dripping down her whole body.
"Really, Charmaine? You used my mortal version as human shield?!" Naian asked in disbelief.
"I thought it was you, I'm sorry." Charmaine replied with a peace sign.
"I have no words." Naian sighs and tapped Minari's shoulder. "Could you heal her? I know that she's still alive."
"We k-killed my g-girlfriend." Mortal Jongy said, her voice laced with pure sadness.
"I shot Jennie, please kill me now."
"Girls, relax. They are zombies and we just did what we need to do." Seige said, maybe to cheer up the two. She's just lucky, We left René at the other building or she'll receive a whooping ass from her wife, but those are not our wives.
Those shitheads are another shits from another parallel universe.
"They escaped! Naian is the only dead!" This time, it was mortal Jilian's voice.
"Quick, to the safe place!" Lisa said and we heard them running off of the place.
"They are stupid." I mumbles while searching for the bullet inside my chest.
"I know." Charmaine snorts and bend over to help the dying mortal Naian, who got help with the two healer.
The girls lost half of their powers when they decided to have a child and now, they need to combine their powers as one so they could heal anyone easily.
The mortal Naian gasped loudly after Anna and Minari successfully healed her, taking a deep breathe as much as her lungs could take, her eyes open wide and dilated.
Her shaking hands went to her face while staring at the woman in front of her or should I say her own self but a vampire version.
"I'm a-alive."
"Yeah, thank us." Anna said mockingly.
"B-but why my reflection in this mirror isn't moving?"
"b***h! shut up!" Naian growled at her and she stood and her mortal version fainted.
"You don't have to scare her like that." Minari said while giggling cutely.
"Those damn morons killed my mortal version! I won't forgive them!" Naian growl, low on her throat, eyes piercing at the door where Lisa and her dumb squad fled.
"Relax, they might be repenting for what they've done to you." Anna said and help Charmaine to put the mortal Naian on the chair.
"Lisa shot me. I can't believe she could do that." I said chuckling throatily.
"Yeah, though killing Naian wouldn't suprise us at all, but Lisa shooting Jennie? Damn girl, it must be hard for mortal Jennie." Charmaine said.
"Shut the f**k up, Charmaine! You don't have the rights to give comments now! You f*****g used my mortal version as human shield and I won't forgive you for that!"
"Calm down Naian, I just really thought it was you." Charmaine said cooly.
"What the hell this Naian doing here? I heard that our own version went away?" Anna wondered.
"I can't believe that they let us off, I mean, the mortal bottoms." Minari corrected herself.
"But have you seen Cubby with them?" I asked.
"No. Probably, she's clinging on mortal Minari again." She replied.
"Or she's one of those zombies." Naian said, which made us laugh but Minari frowns. "She got short limbs, couldn't make it at the safe place and got bitten by zombies."
"Shut up, she's an athlete."
"A cute athlete with short limbs."
"Girl stop before I kill in front of you this mortal!" Minari warns and we coos. We never see Minari gets mad, maybe this will be the first time if Nayeon don't stop and provoke her furthermore.
"Ok that's enough." I rebukes when Naian opens her mouth. "Wake this girl up, I need to know where is Jennie, the mortal."
"Let's just wait, girly thought she's dead after her reflection moves its own." Charmaine said and we laughed again.
"Ok then, leave this girl and let us deal with those dumb shitheads." I said and walked to the door where Lisa and her squad, hiding. "Open up, Lisa!"
"Oh s**t, she's still alive, and talking, they are not zombies!" I heard Lisa said on the other side of the door.
"You moron! We talked earlier, why don't you realized it immediately!"
"But I shot you! how can you be still alive!"
"Because I'm a vampire! You can't kill me with just a bullet!"
"A w-what? No wait! don't open it Jilian! I shot Jennie, I'm sure she's mad as hell and she's going to kill me!"
"Good guess." I chuckled and step back one time before kicking the door and it tumbles down on the floor.
"A-arrgh."
"Oh my God! Jilian! are you ok?!" mortal Seige asked but she couldn't approach her friend that's under the door.
"Jen! you hurt my wife!" Charmaine slapped my arm.
"Hey! Why'd you hurt my girlfriend!" Lisa whines.
"You f*****g shot me, now you're claiming that I am your girlfriend?" I mocked.
"Who's girlfriend?! Really, Lisa? I was just gone for two hours and you replaced me with this bitc– eautiful lady, what the hell?! Who are you?!" The mortal Jennie arrives with her own squad who were staggered at the sight of us.
"This is the second time I've seen my own face at another girl and damn, I'm still pretty as ever." I said proudly, sighing in relief.
"Uh b-babe?" mort Jen called while stepping back towards Mort Lisa, eyes fixicated at me.
"J-jen? is that you? are you not a zombie?"
"Why would I be a zombie? I didn't come out of this building at all! We were sulking in one of the room here and we heard gunshots." morts Jen replied and grips morts Lisa's hand. "B-babe I'm scared."
"Oh please, me and the other Jennie never felt fear, who are you in this world?" I asked irritatedly while looking at the scared girl.
If there are things that I hated the most except from Ella taking Lisa's attention? Is this, my own version looking so fragile and weak.
"I'm Jennie Ruby Jane, the most famous model in the world and—."
"And you're weak, damn I hate this." I said disappointedly and turn my heels but before I fully turn my back against her, I had a glimpse of unexplainable emotion in her eyes but I chose to ignore it. "Let's go back to René, I don't wanna waste my time here."
"Could you step out from the door? Jilian is dying." Charmaine said and I scoffed but still obliged. She bend over to removed the door and revealed bloody morts Jilian. "Anna, heal her please."
"Don't t-touch her!" Mort Charmaine yelled but my friend just looked up to her and smiled sweetly, melting the anger and fear of her own version.
"Sorry about this." Charmaine apologized and helped Mort Jilian to stood up, after Anna and Minari healed her. She carried mort Jilian between her arms and walked towards the other group.
They prepared themselves and pointed their weapons to Charmaine and my three other friends prepared themselves for the attack if someone shoots my friend.
"Here, she's fine. Don't worry." She said as she put down mortal Jilian in front of mortal Charmaine. "We don't mean harm, it's just that, you pissed of Nayeon and our Queen Jennie, we just want to help but since all of you looks fine and safe, I guess, we'll just go."
"Wait!" Lisa said, making all of us to look at her but she's looking only at me. "I k-know that you are really a v-vampire."
"Yeah?" I mocked.
"I'm telepathic, I can read thoughts and..." She paused, gulped and chuckled dryly. "I couldn't hear your thoughts, all of you."
"As you should." I said and when I looked to Mort Jennie, I rolled my eyes. "You are such a disappointment, if Goddess Jennie will meet you, I hope she'll gives you power so you don't have to be so fragile like that. urgh!" I groans at the end of my sentence and turn my heels for the second time and she just laugh.
