Destined

Mother knows best

"Well I have to admit I'm surprised that it has taken you both this long to come and speak with me" Ms Lee chuckled nervously as she fiddled with a pen in her office chair, she felt small in the eyes of the twelve protectors now that they have all begun to recall their previous lives. "I'm sure you all have many questions, but have you read the book I've given you?" 

"I didn't need to" Chanyeol explained, turning back to Sehun who purposely held up the tanned covered novel, everyone releasing a chuckle when they noticed his yellow duck bookmark sticking out from one of the pages. "Baekhyun has been having dreams about our past lives ever since he flipped his switch, we recently got Kyungsoo to link our minds together and it's like I've been seeing everything in a movie." 

Ms Lee looked surprised by the words her son had told her, eyes wide as she turned to Baekhyun to which she hoped would clear up her misunderstanding. The vampire just nodded his head, his cheeks on fire as he stared at the queen from his dreams. Ever since he had begun to accept that what happened in his dreams, happened in real life Baekhyun couldn't look at the principal the same way anymore. He felt as though he needed to bow to her constantly and address her solely by her majesty, neither of which he has done since his nerves just ate away at him. 

"How far have you seen?" Ms Lee wondered, sounding generally curious as all her attention focused on Baekhyun. The vampire blushed under her stare and nervously ran his nails against the back of his neck, when his hand found his lap again it was quickly covered by Chanyeol's. The Alpha offered him a genuine smile before gesturing with his head to his mother, Baekhyun took a breath before beginning his brief explanation. 

"The first dream I had was of when I was born and the latest one I've had is of Chanyeol and I's wedding, it seems like I'm only receiving the most important parts of what happened since quite some time had passed between my most recent dream and the one before it." 

"How long do you think it was?" 

"Four years." Chanyeol answered recalling Suho's words from within the dream. 

"It appears so," Ms Lee agreed with Baekhyun's comment, her head bobbing up and down. "well that's great news as far as I'm concerned. What would you like to talk about?" 

"I don't think we can wait any longer to know what happens that brought us here, we were hoping that you could fill in the gaps." Chanyeol explained, smiling at his mother whose face morphed into one full of disinterest.

"Haven't I already told you that I'm tired of having to explain it to you? Every time you are reincarnated you come begging for answers, I've grown sick of retelling a sad tale." Ms Lee huffed, dropping her pen onto the table before crossing her arms. 

"Then tell me" Baekhyun smiled, leaning forward in his seat. "you said you told Chanyeol before, that means that you haven't told me right?" 

Ms Lee's lips pressed themselves into a thin line as she looked the boy over, even after being reincarnated so many times Baekhyun hadn't changed. He was still the young omega she had the pleasure of calling a son-in-law, her heart clenched when she realised that his dreams had now taken a turn for the worst. She expected Baekhyun and Chanyeol to understand everything in a couple more days as long as Baekhyun continued to have his dreams. 

With a heavy heart she breathed "I can't tell you what happens next because it hurts to remind me" she confessed, looking around the room at the surprised eyes staring back into her glossy ones. "if your dreams are only showing you the important moments in your second life then I can guarantee that come tonight you will begin the journey of how everything went down-hill. What I can tell you is very limited as I feel as though you already have come to understand everything yourself."
