Magical Experiments ❧ Taemin & Sumin
It was the first time Sumin had actually gone out of the building since she had come to Insolitus. The building of the school had turned out to be bigger than expected, and curious as the small female was, she had wanted to visit each and every place personally. That, too, took longer than expected. She still had not seen half of all the rooms, whether public or hidden, yet the need to go out had been growing stronger as days passed-- hence the reason she was currently roaming around the city. There was not really a particular destination the girl had in mind; instead she entered each store that caught her attention with its beauty { not that there were that many shops capable of doing so, unfortunately }.
Sumin had purposely waited for the night to start embracing the world into its darkness, not wanting to have to deal with the irritation that sunlight brought to her. She was able to survive in sunlight, however, she often found herself growing weaker as a result of its brightness. A Chesire would never die unless forgotten; but that did not mean she enjoyed being tortured or having to stay in the sunlight for more than an hour.
What eventually caught her attention was not a store, though. Far from. It were bushes, meters and meters long, decorated with the darkest of black and the most flawless, white roses. No ordinary bushes would have those two mixed together; not to mention their petals seemed to twinkle in the last rays of sun. Her small legs soon were carrying her towards the flowers, fingertips brushing lightly over the beautiful pieces of nature. Not often did she find flowers that were so well taken care of; and the further she looked into the distance, the higher the intensity of flowers seemed to grow. Curious as she was, eager to see more of this beauty, she followed the bushes into the night. Sumin never really found herself in any danger except for being forgotten, so she knew no better than to not fear whatever might be at the end of this path. The fact that she had finally found something this beautiful had already made her more than just happy, a soft humming song surrounding her as the night finally covered her completely. This was indeed were she belonged, she had finally found a place that suited her needs, too.
At least, so she had thought. The female had only barely succeeded in pulling one of the white roses towards her frame, when an unexpected visitor had appeared behind her. What came next happened so fast that Sumin got no time to defend herself in the least. A strong hand came up to steal away her ability to speak; or in this case, it was probably meant to stop her from screaming. She kicked against the guy's shin as hard as she could manage, though the only result was the loud cursing of the man and the sudden invisible binds that locked her legs together. Her mumbling words of 'let me go, let me go!' did barely come through at all, neither did she find herself able to transform into a small insect or animal in order to escape; whatever was holding her was something magical, that was for sure.
And truthfully, even if she knew she could not be killed so easily, she found herself to be pretty terrified at the moment.
