Reunion. (1/2)
HYUK POV
“Well. that’s that” Hongbin mumbles walking out the cell.
“Did you had to be so rough with them?” Hyuk asks.
“Why? Afraid they’re going to get hurt?” Ken laughs.
“Hyuk, are you a hunter or not? Don’t feel pity for them, once they see an opening they make you into their lunch” Hongbin says angry.
“Yeah, and you can know” Ken laughs.
Trying to hide his laugh Hyuk looks away as Hongbin looks at Ken. “You’re so funny today. Did you take over the bad jokes from that vampire?” he asks annoyed.
“Guys, stop it” the mentor says walking to them. “We need to feed them a little bit. Otherwise they’ll stay too weak” he says looking into the cell.
“Are you crazy? Remember what happened last time?” Hongbin asks.
“I know, but if they don’t heal we can’t experiment on them correctly. They’ll be too weak and will react on basically everything” the mentor explains.
“Fine, let’s get some blood for these fuckers” Hongbin says walking away.
“Come with me Hyuk” Ken says tapping his shoulder.
Walking with him to the garden they sit down.
“What’s up?” Hyuk asks.
“Why were you there before us?” Ken asks.
“What do you mean?”
“You were with the vampires at the cabin before us.. Why?”
“Oh that.. I wanted to stall them.. They seem not afraid of me so. I thought before they smell you.. I can keep them busy” Hyuk answers hoping he buys it.
“Is that so?” Ken asks suspicious.
“Hmhm” he nods.
“Then why did Leo say ‘let’s get out of here before they find us’? You went to warn them didn’t you?” Ken asks giving a sharp look.
“I .. didn’t! I ..”
“Hyuk!” Ken interrupts him “Don’t lie!”.
“Okay I did.. Mainly for Leo” Hyuk admids.
“Why? Why would you warn them?” Ken asks.
“Because I...” Hyuk stops mid sentence.
“Because you?”
“I like him..” Hyuk answers looking down.
“You’re such a disgrace for hunters” Hongbin says joining them “Got the blood for them. Hyuk, I’ll talk with you later”.
Knowing he’s in trouble Hyuk gets up to follow them with a heavy heart.
Arriving at their cell Hyuk stares at Hongbin. “Don’t try to do anything” Hongbin warns him.
Quickly he nods his head in confirmation.
Hongbin opens the door and gets inside followed by Ken. With a sigh Hyuk follows them.
Standing still right away he looks at Leo dazed sitting on the ground.
“Wake up. We brought some food” Hongbin says.
N looks up and look at Hongbin “If there’s vervain in it, I don’t want it”.
“You don’t have a saying in it” Hongbin says grabbing his chin and forces in a small bottle of blood.
Noticing it’s just blood he takes the bottle from him and empties it.
“That were only two pathetic sips” N scoffs throwing the small bottle away.
Hyuk walks to Leo and gives the bottle to him “here, drink” he says soft.
With a faint smile Leo takes it from him and empties it.
Ken walks to Ravi and places the bottle on his lips. Finally opening his eyes again he empties the bottle as well.
“Well you look a little more alive… for a dead one” Ken says laughing.
Ravi throws a mean look at him but remains quiet.
“You’re getting wiser with the moment” Ken says standing up.
“Let’s go” Hongbin says walking to the door.
Hyuk smiles to Leo before he gets up and walks away.
Closing the door behind them Hongbin looks at Hyuk.
“You, with me” Hongbin orders.
Hyuk walks after Hongbin with a troubled mind.
“It’s time you finally get over that pity for vampires” Hongbin says opening a door.
Inside there’s a vampire chained.
“Pick your weapon. You kill him or you’re going to get killed”
“I don’t want to” Hyuk says stubborn.
Grabbing Hyuk by the head he bangs it against the wall. “I also don’t want to do many things, yet I do it. This Hyuk, is your duty as a hunter. Now grab a weapon and kill it” he says closing the door behind him. “You have 10 seconds, then the shackles will be open”.
Panicked Hyuk grabs the first weapon he sees, a stake and readies himself.
Hearing a click the shackles open and the vampire gets up. With blood dripping from his head the vampire right away shows his fangs along with red eyes.
“Act quick Hyuk” Ken says warning.
As the vampire runs to Hyuk he avoids his attack, stabbing the vampire with the stake he stakes in his shoulder.
“Come on, that’s nowhere near his heart” Hongbin scoffs.
“You can do it Hyukkie” Ken says trying to encourage him.
Pulling out the stake again the vampire want to attack be he avoids it again. With the back of the vampire towards him he stakes him again.
Seeing the vampire fall to the ground Hongbin opens the door. “Now..was that so hard?” he says walking away.
With shaking legs Hyuk drops the stake and stares at the vampire.
“Come Hyukkie” Ken says tapping his shoulder. LEO POV.“Well that was pathetic amount of blood.” N says.
“They don’t want us to become strong or anything again. They simply want us to be healed again so they can continue” Leo replies.
“Tsk” N let’s out looking over at Ravi again. “You’re still not healing as normal” he mentions noticing his wounds.
“Guess it took more strength of me than I realized” Ravi replies weak.
“How about we..” Leo want to say but the cell opens up again.
“Time to play” the mentor says with a smile.
“Sir” a hunter says walking up to the mentor. Whispering something the mentor scoffs “You’re lucky, duty calls” he says closing the cell.
“Continue what you wanted to say” N says after the cell closes again.
“Ravi is too weak to do anything now and we too aren’t strong. If we want a chance to get away we need Ravi back to strength..” Leo says.
“So what are you suggesting?” N asks.
“We let Ravi drink from us so he can strengthen up. Once they get back in, he can attack them” Leo suggests.
“That’s a good plan” N says agreeing.
“Ravi..” Leo calls him.
“Yeah yeah, I heard ya. Drink from you, attack them when they get back. Got it”
Leo goes to Ravi and sits in front of him. Ravi grabs his arm and pierces his fangs in his wrist.
With the taste of Leo’s blood in his mouth he holds tighter sucking out the blood.
“Ravi, enough” N says seeing he’s taking a lot.
“Let him” Leo says holding onto Ravi. But Ravi stops “He’s right, I shouldn’t take too much. We still want a chance to get out, which we can’t if I take too much and you get too weak”.
Ravi stands up and goes to N. Kneeling in front of him he bites him in the wrist too taking some blood.
“Whoa. that feels good” Ravi says with a smile.
“Good to have you back on strength. Now don’t use too much power again” N says.
“I won’t, I won’t”
Sitting down again they wait for the hunters to come back.
After a couple minutes the cell opens again and Hyuk walks in.
As Ravi wants to stand up Leo quickly grabs him to stop him.
“Why are you here?” Leo asks.
“They send me to get you” Hyuk answers.
~Ravi.. Don’t attack him. We’ll come up with a new plan~ Leo thinks.
Scoffing Ravi sits down again.
Hyuk walks to N and unchainst him. Standing up N simply follows him knowing Leo would get mad if he did anything to him.
A couple minutes later Hyuk gets back and takes Ravi with him.
When coming back he takes Leo with him.
“Keep in mind Hyuk, you have to do what they want. Otherwise they’ll kill you” Leo says as they walk to the other room.
“I know. When my mentor was going to get you, he got called back because of me. He heard that I..” Hyuk stops in his sentence.
“That you like me? Yeah.. I noticed, also Ravi’s comments made it pretty clear” Leo says.
“Yeah.. if I do anything against them they’re going to torture and kill me.. They told me loud and clear” Hyuk sighs.
Arriving at the room they stop before going in “I have a plan..” Hyuk says and quickly explains it.
“Ravi was right… you are pretty smart” Leo smiles.
Not exchanging another word they go in.
“So, the gang’s all here” Hongbin says with a smirk.
~Ravi.. Listen~ Leo thinks ~Hyuk just came up with an idea...~ he thinks and explains the idea.
Looking at Ravi he sees a smirk and nods.
“You are awfully quiet..” Hongbin frowns “Let’s change that” he says with a smirk.
Grabbing a weapon he pushes it in Hyuk’s hands “You pick” Hongbin commands.
Knowing with his plan Ravi and N need their strength he goes with pain in his heart to Leo.
Leo already expected it and gives a small nod.
~N.. Use your power on the mentor~ Ravi thinks trying to plant the thought in N’s head.
~Why?~ N thinks back
~No questions, on three send him to me.. 1, 2,3~ Ravi thinks back and they both use their power on the mentor.
The mentor’s body stiffens and with seconds start walking towards Ravi.
“Sir… what are you?” Hongbin asks.
“Sir.. you shouldn’t get too close” Ken mentions.
Hyuk who stops what he’s doing feels relieved he doesn’t have to hurt Leo now and looks at their mentor walk towards Ravi.
“They’re using their power on him!” Hongbin says seeing both N and Ravi fixate their eyes on the mentor. As Hongbin wants to run towards the mentor, Hyuk throws the knife in his leg.
“Hyuk! What the hell” Ken says angry.
“Sorry, it slipped out my hand”
“I swear I’m going to kill you but first..” Hongbin says standing up but is too late.
The mentor arrives at Ravi and Ravi pulls with all force the chains from his legs breaking them.
Wrapping his legs around the mentor he pulls him closer and bites him in his neck.
Hongbin still runs towards him and pierces a knife through his heart. Seeing it does him nothing he startles.
“Too late hunter” Leo smiles knowing Ravi has enough strength.
Taking a deep breath again Ravi smiles. Pulling his legs back the mentor falls to the ground.
“Go on.. Go to him.. I can use another snack” Ravi says with a smirk.
“Leo...” Hyuk calls him.
Looking up Ken holds him with a knife to his throat “This is your weak spot right? Let Hongbin grab our mentor!” Ken commands.
Nodding Ravi let’s him. When he leaves the room with the mentor Ravi uses all his strength pulling the chains connected to his wrists.
“It’s no use, it’s made for vampires” Ken says smiling.
“But it it also made for Ravi?” N asks laughing.
Scared Ken looks at Ravi again and sees the chains are starting to bend “No way...”.
“Yeah way” Leo smiles.
Hearing a snap he sees Ravi broke free “Lunchtime” Ravi says laughing keeping his eyes on Ken.
“Oh look, he’s back to his old self” N says “Now care to unleash us too?”.
“Coming” Ravi says turning around.
Seeing an arrow shoot through his chest he looks down.”How often do I need to say that tickles?.. Binnie” Ravi laughs turning around to Hongbin.
“I don’t know and I don’t care how you broke free. But I will kill you! You killed our mentor” Hongbin says angry.
“You figured that out just now? I already knew when I released him” Ravi laughs.
“I’m going to kill you!” Hongbin screams running to him.
Avoiding his attack Ravi holds him from behind “You’re no match for me hunter, now go away while I’m still nice” he says serious.
