Chapter Four (1/1)

Kibum was exhausted. He did not remember the last time he had ever been that tired. He wondered if it could possibly have been when he babysat his aunt’s demon children, but even that could not have readied him for what had happened the night before. His nightmares were plagued with the thought of the hauntingly, beautiful red head.He couldn’t sleep at all. He felt like if he slept, Taemin would someone manage to get a hold of him and kill him.Eventually he just gave up on the thought of getting any sleep. He stared up at the ceiling, trying to find even a small moment of peace, but peace never came for him. He ended up questioning his life. What did he have to offer to anyone? How could he go on living after what he had seen? He could never go back to just being Kim Kibum anymore.His feline eyes searched every crack, every single speck on the wall wondering if it was supposed to be there or if his eyes were just imagining things. He hoped it was his eyes playing tricks on him, that everything he saw hours before was a total lie and everything would be alright. He was very wrong.The room was small, but livable. Or at least it was livable at one point. When he entered the room, it seemed as if the room had been empty for months. The bed had been made, it had been bare of cloths, but there was still the hint of someone who used to live there. Kibum knew it right away; it was Jonghyun’s scent. Kibum took comfort in it.“Key?”Jinki had stirred throughout the night, but was much quieter than Kibum had been. Kibum had really hoped that the other would have stayed asleep. He was in no mood to listen to Jinki’s rants. He cared for Jinki dearly, but the other had a way of making every situation more stressful then it already was.“You should go back to sleep,” Kibum sighed softly. He felt Jinki brush hair behind his ear before making Kibum look at him. He leaned forward and pressed their lips together. Kibum would have kissed back, but it felt wrong to do it now.Jinki pulled away from his lips and rested his forehead on Kibum’s shoulder, taking a few deep breaths, “You love him…”“No,” Kibum replied. He knew that Jinki meant Jonghyun. He really wasn’t in love with Jonghyun. How could he love someone he didn’t know?“Do you love me?” Jinki questioned.Kibum shut his eyes and sighed softly, “Why are you doing this right now?”Jinki sat up and looked at Kibum, “No, tell me. I need to know. Have I wasted countless years giving into everything? Having sex with you because you needed it? Willing giving up a Friday to hang out with you because you were sad? Or am I just you’re fuck buddy?”The younger male growled and stood up, throwing his arms in the air, “What do you fucking want from me?! False love?! Do you want me to tell you what you want to hear even though it would be a lie? You weren’t just my fuck buddy, you’re my best fri-““I don’t want to be your best friend!”Kibum stared at Jinki for a few moments before shrugging his shoulders, “That is all I can offer you…”Jinki nodded his head and stood up. He grabbed his jacket and pushed his feet into his shoes. Kibum sighed in frustration, “Where are you going?”“HOME!” Jinki yelled, causing Kibum to freeze. Jinki had never raised his voice at him before, “You don’t want me… my life is ruined. I can’t go back to that life.”“You’ll be killed,” Kibum attempted.“It is better than this,” Jinki retorted and opened the door. He stopped when he noticed someone standing there, “… Were you listening?”The boy was covering his ears and tilted his head, “…No…”Kibum walked over, “You were one of those wolves…”“A-ah, yes!” The boy’s eyes brightened instantly and he dropped his hands, “I’m Sandeul. I was carrying you on my back,” he mentioned, pointing to Jinki. “You were very light… do you not eat often?”Jinki blushed a slight pink, but shook it off, “I need to leave, so ca-““Oh! No, you can’t leave. The elders demand your presence,” Sandeul said quickly, shaking his cute head. “If you don’t go, I could get in serious trouble.”“We’ll go,” Kibum assured.“Don’t decide things on your own,” Jinki glared, but Kibum was already slipping on his shoes. He then headed out of the room. Sandeul stared at Jinki for a few moments till the other snapped, “Lead the way.”Sandeul jumped slightly and walked as quickly as he could until he was in front of Kibum, leading the way. A few moments later, they reached a long corridor which lead to a giant door. As they walked, Jinki and Kibum stared at the painting that adorned the walls. It seemed to go on forever. It was a battle. Wolves and pale men fighting, blood was everywhere. Wolves against wolves, pale men against pale men and wolves against pale men.“It was the first battle,” Sandeul explained. Jinki and Kibum looked over at the young boy who stared at the painting blankly, “The first battle… vampires and wolves lived in peace… but one man wanted to change that… he believed wolves were meant to serve the vampires…”Kibum looked back at the painting and reached out, touching the painting. In front of him, he felt like he could see the battle. Endless battling and innocent people dying. Innocent people like Sandeul. He could see it, but it wasn’t this battle. He feared it was a new battle.“Sandeul, how old are you?” Jinki questioned. Kibum looked at his old friend. It seemed like he was seeing the same thing.Sandeul tilted his head, “I’m eighteen, why?”“What happened to you?” Kibum asked next.The younger boy was surprised, “Oh, I ran away from home when I was sixteen because my step father was hurting me. It was dark and I just wanted to sleep. I was at the park and I heard this growling… the next thing I know, a vampire was on top of me trying to bite me. I fought back and I cried and then this giant blur came out and knocked it off of me. It was a werewolf. It killed the vampire, but I was useless,” his eyes turned back to the painting. “The vampire had already taken too much blood. I wouldn’t have changed because the vampire has to give you their blood when you’re close to death, but if a werewolf bites you, you’ll change.”Jinki rested his hand on the boy’s shoulder, “I’m sorry.”“Oh, don’t be. I’m happy,” Sandeul replied, smiling brightly, “I like being a werewolf. I have my pack and…,” suddenly he fell silent.“What happened?” Kibum enquired.Sandeul looked up at Kibum, “Jinyoung was killed my Taemin last night when we came for you. Now it is just the four of us… me, Shinwoo hyung, Gongchan and Baro…”“I’m so sorry,” Kibum said quickly. It was his entire fault. If he hadn’t been so stupid.“Don’t be.”All three looked at the door where a young, handsome man stood, “I’m Yunho. I’m one of the elders.”Sandeul bowed and Yunho smiled. Jinki and Kibum shared a look before bowing as well, “No need for the bows. Please come in. You too, Sandeul. We have a new mission.”“Yes,” Sandeul said excitingly as he slipped past Yunho into the large room. Yunho nodded to the two humans before walking into the room and returning to his seat that rested on a low platform. There were four other males sitting down, each just as enchanting as Yunho.“These are the elders,” Shinwoo said as he came up next to Kibum, “Junsu at far left. He is a vampire and next to him is Yoochun, a werewolf. Then you Jaejoong, a vampire and you already know Yunho, a werewolf. Lastly is Changmin. He is human like you two.”Yunho smiled and crossed his legs, “We are the elders who attempt to keep peace in the world.”Jinki raised an eyebrow, “The world?”“The world,” Changmin replied with a grin. “We’re that good.”“Very good,” Yoochun replied in a sarcastic tone, “They have killed five of our people in the last two weeks. This needs to end now. If you would have just listened to me-““Enough!” Yunho ordered. Junsu reached out and took Yoochun’s hand, hoping he would relax, “Now, the reason I asked you two here was to apologize for what you’ve seen. I know this must be hard for you.”“Hard?!” Jinki’s voice rose.Kibum reached out for Jinki, but the other pulled away, “You’re sorry that our whole lives are ruined?! ‘Oh, I’m so sorry that a fucking werewolf came into your life and fucked everything up’. Is that what you want to say? How can apologize for this? How can Key and I go back to our old lives as if we’re okay?”Jaejoong looked at Jinki, not shocked, “Let me ask you something… do you think we asked for this?”“Excuse me?” Jinki asked.The beautiful blonde stood up and walked over Jinki. He stood in front of Jinki and looked at him, deep in the eyes. Jinki was terrified, “Why is this suddenly about you? This is bigger than you even realize. Jonghyun’s appearance in your life was not an accident. This is fated…”“W-what?” Jinki murmured, backing away.Yunho stood up and grabbed hold of Jaejoong’s wrist, pulling him back, “Jaejoong is sick. He was abused by his sire till the point he was driven insane.”Kibum raised an eyebrow and looked at Jaejoong, “Was… his sire the same one that changed Taemin?”“Yes,” Yunho replied softly, setting Jaejoong back in his seat. The werewolf touched Jaejoong’s face softly, causing the vampire to smile softly. Yunho turned back to the others, “I am truly sorry that you have become involved, but I was not going to ask you to return home… it is very unsafe.”“So what are you asking?” Shinwoo questioned for them. Both Kibum and Jinki were staring at Jaejoong who seemed lost and confused, different from before they walked into the room. The beautiful man was so strikingly beautiful and confident. Now he looked broken and lost.Yunho took his seat, “We want you to help us find Jonghyun and bring G-Dragon down.”Kibum snapped out of his thoughts, “G-Dragon… I know that name.”“Big Bang,” Changmin said, “He’s the owner of Big Bang. The club in the outskirts of Seoul City. Jonghyun went there to get some information. He went without our orders and without his pack.”The youngest boy raised his head, “I begged him to stay…”Shinwoo reached over and touched his head, “You did the right thing, Gongchan…”The boy started crying and Shinwoo pulled the boy into his arms. The other blonde, who Kibum guessed was Baro, wrapped his arms around them both.“Why does Taemin hate Jonghyun? And Minho?” Jinki questioned, finally speaking up.“Taemin was Jonghyun’s lover,” Junsu quipped. “Jonghun was one of our strongest warriors and G-Dragon ,well at that time he still went by Jiyong, hated him for killing his vampires. G-Dragon took Taemin-““He killed Taemin,” Kibum gasped.Junsu nodded his head, “G-Dragon is ruthless and has been doing this for centuries. He changed many and tortured them till they begged them to kill him and then to spite them, he changed them, damning them for the rest of their lives.”Kibum felt tears welling up. He could never imagine anyone doing that to someone so innocent. Taemin was so beautiful, but even he saw the pain in the red head’s eyes. He saw the pain in Jonghyun’s eyes as well.“What do you want us to do?” Jinki spoke up once more. “Do you want us to find Jonghyun?”“Yes,” Yunho replied.Jinki stared down at the floor before nodding his head, “I will help.”“Onew!”“What, Key? I’m useless out there in the real world now. I have nothing,” Jinki said. His voice was pitiful, life he was exhausted and he was. “I can provide medical assistance. I can do something…”“Are you sure, Jinki?” Yunho questioned. Jinki nodded his head. The werewolf smiled and stood up once more, “And Kibum?”Kibum looked up at Yunho then at the other face in the room. His eyes landed on Gongchan, who was crying his eyes out. He looked barely sixteen years old. Then his eyes went back to Jaejoong’s, who was staring back at him. Kibum could sense all the pain he had gone through. He could see it all in Jaejoong’s eyes.“I’ll… I’ll try…”Yunho nodded his head, “That is all anyone can ask of you. Thank you both. The rest of you, help them adjust. Teach them everything you know about G-Dragon and his people. Go now.”Shinwoo nodded and ushered them all out of the room, into the hallway. Kibum stayed at the back, walking beside Jinki. As they walked, Kibum stopped and looked out the window. Jinki stood next to him and both stared at the glowing moon.“What are we doing, Onew?” Kibum asked softly.Jinki stayed silent for a long time, “Fighting…”“For what?”“I don’t know…”________________________________________Author's Note: Okay, a few things, if something is confusing you, message me personally and I will gladly clear it up for you.
