Notes: This is the sort of ending stretch of the book, but like I dinnae want the ending to be rushed so if there is like another five parts for the ending I apologise, I'm going to try and keep them not too long but I don't want to have a like loads of extra parts so if it gets bad because its sort of rushed, I'm sowwy< This part is much longer then others>

Yeosang extends his hand out for Tia to hold, looking at him she takes it raising up from Suki and Wooyoung's shared bed.

His brown eyes turned soft when they met hers, drawning her in like a trap. It was hard not to feel her heart swell in her chest─ doubling in size.

Every edge, line and imperfction on his skin didn't matter to her, all she wanted to do was run her finger along each and ever one of them. To know Yeosang for not just who he was as a person but also to know his body as well as he did.

What had transpired between them moments before flashed in her mind, Tia didn't noticed she had begun to smirk, her finger tips tingled in anticipation of touching him once again, to pull him back down against her. The feeling of his body weight pushing into her took away all the worry about her memory lost, the mere feeling of how his fingers brushed her lower stomach, how her body had wanted him it had the ache building between her legs once more.

She could feel Yeosang's grip on her hand gradually get tighter, he could smell the scent of her lust growing and his body was beginning to react to it, all he wanted to do was bury himself into her warmth on the landscape of the bed as he once had moments prior. What had started out as an attempted apology had turned into something much more heated.

It could not continue right now and that grated against his inner nerves. No words were exchanged, tugging at Tia's hand lightly Yeosang smiled when her gaze magnatised to his.

They both, still hand in hand, moved to the door, the walk back downstairs didn't seem as long this time to Tia and when they reached the bottom of the stairs Yeosang stuck his head inside their longue room and frowned when he saw no one sitting there on the couches.

Pulling Tia on they both walked side by side towards the kitchen where a small amount of chatter could be heard drifting through the Fedora pack house.

The entire pack was in the big open kitchen, most of the parents of the pack sat at the table their kids, sat around the room and at the island chairs, Suki even sat on one of the kitchen counter tops Wooyoung stood next to her, his hand on her knee with Jongho also sat on the counter top next to her.

The trio beckoned them in with a look, Yeosang could feel Tia tighten her grip as they stepped in and all eyes looked to them.

Seonghwa was next to his parents with Hongjoong talking to his father, the alpha held a hand over his mouth, a look of concentration vacating his features.

"What's going on?" Yeosang asked stopping himself and Tia by the island, where Yunho and Mingi were sat.

"We are discussing if we should trust the vampires or not" The Luna, Hongjoong's mother answered, she gave a hesitant glance to the alpha rubbing her hand over his forearm gently.

"How do we even know if they could help us?" Yunho's father asked causing his son to turn and look at him, "Seonghwa and Wooyoung have already explained this" Yunho spoke making a hand gesture to Seonghwa and Wooyoung who were both on different sides of the kitchen.

"They knew Tia before all this happened, they seem to care about her so why would they not help now?" Hongjoong added in finishing Yunho's statement off, looking up from the floor.

"didn't they say something about a witch?" Suki asked, Wooyoung nodded looking away from his mate, "She is right, they mentioned something about a powerful witch going into their club the other day"

Yeosang nudged Tia out from behind him, leading her to sit on one of the high chairs at the island, next to Mingi, the taller boy smiled at her once she had wiggled herself into a comfy position on the puffy stool.

"But it doesn't make sense why a powerful witch would go to a club run by vampires" Seonghwa's mother said bringing over a couple of drinks, placing them on the table she sat next to the Luna they both shared a look before glancing at the alpha once more.

"Does it matter that a witch was around vampires?" Tia asked causing every wolf including the alpha to glance up at her. The alpha watched her with a curious glint in his eye and with a gentle tone his spoke "I forget what it's like to have a human around here" Tia stiffened at his words.

The reminder that she was different made her feel even smaller in the room, surrounded by beings that were much stronger then her. Each of the other pack members gave each other subtle looks when the Alpha stood and made his way around the table, Yeosang was tracking his alpha's ever move as he stalked closer to his mate.

Tia adverted her gaze from the alpha with every step he took closer to her, curling her shoulders in on herself. The shadow of his presence stopped infront of her and she could faintly sense Yeosangs off to her right, he had stepped back a couple of paces when Hongjoong's father gave him a look.

The affect of an alpha's presence was like a powerful weight pushing down on those infront of them. She wasn't a werewolf but somehow she knew the alpha stood infront of her was not using the full extent of his authority.

"You do not have to shy away young one"

Hesitant, Tia tilted her head back to look at him, careful not to directly meet his gaze. "My acceptance of you happened the moment Yeosang brought you home the night of your attack, I know what you are to him now as I did then "

Yeosang hadn't moved his gaze from Tia until the alpha said that, glancing around at all the other pack member it was clear all the parents had also known.

"It's not official yet" the alpha started "But you are a member of this pack and I don't like it when my pack members are left in the dark, so allow me to enlighten you, A witch going to a club full of vampires is weird because after the war a few years ago the witches went into hiding and don't tend to leave their covens in fear some may abuse their power and seeing it was vampires who sparked the embers of the war it is odd that a powerful witch would go to a club run by them"

Tia tried to peice together the new information with all the knowledge she already had of this new and confusing world, the impact of it all was sickening. The influx of the possiblities that were opened by the information swarmed her and she couldn't help but wonder what her kind would do if they ever optained this knowledge. Experiments, torture, would some live in fear of the unknown the creatures would bring.

Would a new terrifying creature consume each person, ruining their humanity. Why her? why was she the one to know of this, why had it been her?

"I'm leaving it up to you to decide what we do" The alpha said, mouth falling open, Tia scanned his face for any look of hesitation of apprehension.

"You think I should be trusted with such responsiblity?" Tia was shocked with his revelation to say the least, she wouldn't trust herself to make food right now and not give anyone food poisoning, let alone make decision for an entire pack of werewolves.

"I do, it is your memories that are at stake after all" the alpha said, the corner of his lip quipping up a little into a half smile.

Tia sent a look to Suki, she shrugged her shoulder, ugh she wasn't helping, and so Tia turned to the one other person she knew would give her the support she seeked, Yeosang gave her a reasuring smile with a subtle nod.

"Okay, I say we go to the vampires and see if they can help us find the witch"

"Now we're talking" Suki chipped happily jumping off the countertop, Tia didn't miss the way the alpha watched Suki with a fond smile and twinkle in his eye as if he was watching his very own daughter.

Suki stopped pulling Tia from her stool, her hands on Tia's shoulders, "Tsk,Tsk you can't go to a club dressed like that, come on" Suki tutted looking Tia's outfit up and down. "We won't be long" Suki said quickly not taking her eyes from Tia.

Tia happened to like the plain blue t-shirt and dark jeans she had on, clearly her new found friend did not think the same way as Suki looped arms with her and began dragging her out the room, sending a look back to Yeosang over her shoulder he did nothing but wave his hand with a smile on his lips.

Tia wanted to curse at her mate for his little to no care about her safety with his own sister, the sound of it in her head brought a genuine cheesy grin to her face.

Her mate.

»»——⍟——««

Tia re-adjusted the backless spaghetti strap top for what left like the fifteenth time. "Are you sure this isn't too small?" Tia asked Suki, the girl in question came out from her bathroom, wearing a corset like style top with black jeans and a pair of heels while she carried another pair in her hand.

"It's just a tighter fit, but its supposed to be like that and besides you look sexy as hell, so own it" Suki's words did little to ease the slight discomfort of the outfit but it did help Tia's confidence a little, at first when she put the fake leather trousers on she had thought they made her slightly bigger legs look too well ...big, she felt curvier then usual in Suki's tighter clothing. Her usual style consisting of looser fitting clothes, the insecurity of being a little curvier always made her conscious of what she wore.

Suki raised the other pair of heels out to Tia "Here" she held out a pair of red thick base heels, Tia took one look at them before shaking her head, "No, Suki" the room fell silent as Suki froze, glancing at Tia with raised eyebrows, she was scowling for a short fraction of a minute before a sly smile slid onto her red tainted lips.

Seconds later Suki had tackled her back onto her bed, yelling a quick "Suki yes "

Tia fought with the girl ontop of her arms flying around in a tangled heap, "sit still" Suki hissed trying to catch Tia knees before they hit her in the face. Tia quickly realised her efforts were futile when she felt Suki sit on her stomach, pinning her to the bed. Feeling Suki grab her legs, trying to put the heels on Tia herself. Tia sulked thumping her head back against the bed "Suki I can't wear heels"

"Bullshit" Suki muttered while she focused on tightening the straps around Tia's ankles, finally satisfied she climbed off of Tia, "If I'm going to suffer while wearing heels so are you"

Tia sat up on the bed cocking an eyebrow at her, "No one said you had to wear heels" Suki waved her off "Well they make me taller then Wooyoung, and that irritates him, Come on" she gestured for Tia to get up "Give me a spin"

Unsteadily, Tia wobbled her way up from the bed, awkwardly she stood at her full height.

Suki made a funny squealling noise as she clapped her hands together, "Oh my you are so pretty, I can't wait to see Yeosang's face" she laughed, picking her phone up from off the dresser, "come on I want to see his reaction"

Tia didn't understand how Suki could look so good while walking in her heels, Tia was just walking while trying not to break an ankle, she probably looked like bambi on ice all the while Suki looked like some kind on model on a red carpet.

The corset top Suki wore enhanced the movement of her hips, the tight black jeans making her ass look flawless. Tia was so elated when Suki waited for her at the top of the stairs, she didn't believe for one second she could get down the stairs without falling down them.

Suki held an arm out and helped Tia with ever step, only when they reached the last step did Tia breath again.

The unsteady feeling of her ankles being weak beneath her had Tia reaching out for something to hold onto, watching her feet, her hand was extended out, waving through mid air in search of the wall, instead her fingers brushed against someone and a hand grasped hers.

Yeosang slid his hand up her arm to about her elbow to steady her, "Are you okay?"

When he had heard the unsteady footsteps coming down the stairs he had made sure to be near the bottom in case one of them were to fall.

The sight of Tia in the outfit had made him feel some kind of way, until he remembered where they were going and other men would look at her, he was half tempted to make her change and yell at Suki for putting her in such an outfit.

The tight fit of the clothes was making Tia look uncomfortable but Yeosang couldn't deny, she looked amazing. Despite her looking like she was going to go over her ankle.

She gave a small nod while glancing back down at the heels on her feet, "Just swell"

Yeosang chuckled at his mate, holding an arm out for her to steady herself. She took his gesture in with the entwining of her own arm, leaning into his side the warmth of his body enveloping hers, hugging her in his comfort 'till he was all she could feel.

She embraced the feeling of it as they walked into the loungue were the others were stood, Tia watched as Suki made her way passed the others, stopping infront of Wooyoung. He turned to look her up and down and Tia had to hide her smirk when his eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets.

Watching on Tia smiled as Wooyoung grasped Suki by the waist pulling her in closer to him. He whispered something, that Tia couldn't hear, into Suki's ear making her emit a small laugh.

A voice cleared themselve behind Yeosang and herself and she glanced over her shoulder, spotting the Alpha stood with his Son and Mate on either of his sides. Yeosang tugged her down the couple steps leading into the room, they both turned in time to watch Hongjoong walked down away from his father.

The youngest generation of the Fedora pack stood around, watching and waiting for their Alpha to speak. Anticipation buzzed in the air, Tia could feel it pricking against her skin, making her stomach curl.

"I don't want to clean up any mess, Do I make myself clear?" the Alpha asked, eye scanning each of the younger wolves faces, they all nodded.

"Do not make me regret letting you guys do this without supervison" he added. He met Tia's gaze and she felt herself involuntarily stiffen, Making Yeosang look to her.

"And to you" the Alpha stepped down, coming further into the room drawing closer and closer to Tia. Gripping her hand tightly into the clothing covering Yeosang's arm the air shut itself inside her chest. The Alpha stopped paces infront of her, "I wish you the best of luck, and want to remind you no matter what you remember you will always have a place among us"

A bubbling warmth spread inside her chest at the Alpha's words, releasing her grip on Yeosang's arm she pushed herself forwards to wrap her arms around the Alpha's mid-section in a hug.

The room stayed silent as all the wolves glanced at each other, The luna stood smiling at the door, watching as her mate stood shocked before he wrapped his arms around the human female, returning the embrace.

Pulling away Tia noticed the atmosphere of the room changing, the Alpha gave a quick nod to her before turning meeting his mate by the archway, he turned once more to glance at the younger werewolves in the room, he nodded saying nothing before continuing out with his mate.

"Okay so what's the bet we make a mess he has to clean up?" Jongho asked from somewhere near the back of the room.

Hongjoong sighed walking to the front of the group, "Let's atleast make a effort to not mess up this time" Suki laughed making her way from next to Wooyoung, to Hongjoong's side, cocking her head to the side with a small smirk "don't we always" Hongjoong narrows his eyes at his pack sister "Suki" he warned, the girl threw her hands up "What? come on, you know trouble always has a way of finding us"

Suki appeared next to Tia, looping arms with her she began to walk dragging an unsteady Tia with her. Leaning in "Did you see Wooyoung's face when he saw my height difference" she whispered not hiding the hint of amusement in her tone.

Tia shook her head "No I was too busy trying not to fall over" her statement earned a bubbly laugh from the female shifter, the boys had followed them out each keeping their distance from the two girls, besides Wooyoung and Yeosang of course they both were closer, flanking their respected mate's sides, walking out towards the door, Suki grabbed the keys from one of the baskets.

"I think you're a tad bit dramatic about not being able to walk in heel" Suki added pushing the down the handle of the door,

"I'm not being dramatic"

Tia could feel Suki roll her eyes at her statement, no matter how long or often Tia wore heels, she could never quite get used to the balance shift in them plus they always hurt her feet, it was a miracle she was still in them now.

"Little bit of advice from me" Suki started, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Tia, "You just need to find and chanel your inner queen"

"Why would anyone ever listen to your advice Suki" Mingi questioned raising his eyebrow as he moved passed the two of them, Suki scoffed placing her free hand on her chest, "My advice is very valuable and you should all be thankful that I give it away for free and besides" Mingi stopped to watch her, Suki let loose a small laugh "It's not my fault you listened to me" Mingi's eyes widened then narrowed at her when she started laughing, "You told me to shave off my eyebrows Suki!", the cry to his voice my Suki laugh harder, "Yeah and it was not my fault you listened"

Tia laughed at Suki's joking manner, while watching all her brothers lower and shake their heads, Wooyoung stopped next to Suki grasping her hand he whispered something into her ear, again Tia did not catch what it was he said but clearly the others had as many of the other boy's head snapped up to look at Wooyoung with narrowed eyes. Suki copied their looks turning her body away from Tia. The humerous air changed serious real quick.

What was it he had said to Suki that had them all on edge, Yeosang was next to her seconds later, checking up on her, "Are you sure you want to come with us, we can go get the witch and bring her back here?"

Something wasn't sitting right in her belly when he asked this, where they keeping something from her again. Their secrecy was giving her all the more reason to come, with a rapid nod she looked him dead in the eye "Yes I want to be there, but I don't understand why it's so dangerous, all we are doing is going to a club, the same one we both went to before all this I don't see why it's unsafe for me to come now"

Yeosang sighed, looking down at the space between them, "It's not...It's just we like to take extra precautions and well soemthing just doesn't seem right but I ─"

He was cut off by Suki pratically jumping next to them, she had a beaming smile adoring her lip, which seemed to affect the rest of the features on her face, it only added to the happy aura she exuaded.

Suki didn't give Yeosang a look, keeping eye contact with Tia she held up a singular car key, something about it was more expensive looking, the key itself looked fancier then the others she had seen. Suki swung it about, and out the corner of her eye Tia could see Yeosang's face drop, "You're riding with me" Suki spoke excitedly, Yeosang had already started to shake his head when Suki gripped Tia's hand pulling her towards her, clicking the button of the key, the lights of a car ahead of them flashed and Tia felt her jaw drop open at the sight of it, there infront of them was an Aston Martin, it's dark body work was slick and shone in the rising moon light, even if it wasn't that fast of a car, which Tia doubted, it did look expensive.

Suki was ignoring the looks from her mate and all her brothers, they hadn't let her drive it yet, she didn't know why but the wait would be worth it, guilt tripping Mingi into handing over the keys had been a long process but Suki was not dissapointed by her efforts. With keys tightly gripped in hand, she opened the door, the smell of the leather oozed out the car into the forest air, her heart jumped in her chest with excitement.

Tia was also marvelling at the interior of the vehicle, slipping easily into the seat Suki ran her fingers over the smooth leather of the steering wheel, cheek starting to hurt with all her smiling she glanced up through her eye lashed to meet to worried gazes of each of her brothers, starting up the car she revved it and she could feel the power of the engine rummble beneath her an excited giggled burst from her,

Oh, This was going to be fun

The two girls were outside the club before any of the boys, Suki was still buzzing from the quick drive over, barely able to sit still in her seat, Tia was also sat still slightly stunned by how quick they had made it into the city and to the Neo club, she would be very surpirsed in Suki didn't get a speeding ticket, Not that Suki seemed to care right now. Thinking on it she may have just started to make one of the many messes the Alpha may have to clean up tonight.

Movement in the rear view mirror made Suki look up, a black BMW had pulled up behind them, she could make out the figures of Wooyoung and Yeosang sat in the front seats. Seeing them sat side by side was a strange concept to her, if it had been about a week ago, before Yeosang had met Tia, there was not a chance in hell those two would be sitting next to each other, she wasn't even sure if they had come to eye level with each other yet. Still convinced that Yeosang had a dislike towards her mate, the same dislike from when the two had first met.

Suki watched the two of them climb out of their car, The girls were quick to follow suit.

The cold air bit at the exposed skin of Tia's back, a shiver ran down the entire expanse of her spin, goosbumps tickling along ever inch of her skin. That was until a hand came to rest on her uncovered back, glimpsing over her shoulder she was met with the brown eyes of her mate. The warmth of his skin contact spread eradicating all that was left of the goosbumps littering her body.

The hand stayed on her lower back as they moved towards the line formulating outside the club, faint memory of the building entrance flashed to the forefront of Tia's mind. Glancing around Tia took notice of the fact they were minus three members, turning her head over her shoulder towards Yeosang "Where are the others?"

They continued walking towards the entrace, where the vampire bouncers were standing watching them, "Seonghwa, Mingi and Jongho are staying outside to keep watch" Yeosang spoke under his breath to her, keeping his face trained to not show reaction.

The two vampires stood in the doorway, arm folded over their chest as they eyed the six of them up, "Don't know what you're all doing, you can wait in the line like everyone else" one of them spoke, the vampire had softer features but his words were laced with a bite when he spoke them.

Hongjoong stepped around the others, placing his hand on Suki's shoulder when he passed, before he could speak a familiar blue haired vampire came pushing passed out the door.

He stopped to glanced the group up and down, muttering something to the two vampires before gesturing for the wolves to follow him, "Come, Trinity wishes to see you"

Tia didn't know who that was but something about how the Vampires infront of them moved around the name made her think, whoever this female was, was not someone to mess with, was she perhaps their leader?

Tia didn't have much more time to ponder on the thought as Yeosang urged her forwards, and into the green lights of the club they went. A strong sense of fimiliairty flushed through her. Jeno, the blue haired vampire lead them into a booth where a women and man stood, small viles were on a table infront of them. The girl picked a needle up and held it up as they came near, Jeno waved her off.

Everyone surrounding them appeared as if they had green skin, due to the neon lights flashing throughout the main rooms of the club. Scanning it with her eyes a strange ripple of nausea boiled in Tia's belly when she tried to get a better glimps down a back hallway which was dimmly lite.

Yeosang's hand on her back led her onwards still, following Jeno they walked past the women and man stood with the viles, Yeosang looked back as they passed. Confusion sturred within him at the sight of boxes filled with viles of blood, he still didn't understand why they took the blood of those coming into their club. It was rather odd even for a club run by vampires.

Jeno led them on down a door behind the booth, the hallway behind it was lite by warm yellow lights that made it easy for the eyes to adjust. The werewolves stayed close as they walked on, in line of threes. Suki was walking in a front row with Hongjoong and Wooyoung on both her sides, while Tia was walking directly behind her with Yunho and Yeosang on either side of her.

With a subtle turn of her head, Tia looked out the corner of her eye to catch a glimps of a vampire walking behind them, the one from the apartment, Jaemin his name was, fulling turning her head she caught his gaze and he offered her a soft smile, one which she retruned before turning back around at the sound of a door opening.

The surroundings had changed once more, a very open room with cream coloured walls and a very little amount of windows.

The room was filled with Tvs, Pool tables, dart boards and many other various means of entertainment. A desk was sat under one of the bigger windows in the room, when Wooyoung moved out of Tia's way she was able to see the slender female hunched over the desk.

Jeno and Jaemin walked away from them, moving across the room to where there was a small bar, the shelves behind it lined with various alchoholic beverages.

"I see you've met my second and third in command" The women at the desk spoke, she turned to face them, she held a small glass of some kind of drink, bringing it to her lips she smirked as she downed the rest of it.

Tia realised the second and third in command this female vampire must have been talking about was Jeno and Jaemin, the pair were racking their way through the drinks, pouring themselves glasses of god know what.

The female vamp placed her glass down on the desk, before leaning back onto it. "I heard you were in need of a witch?" She tilted her head and watched them with slight narrowed eyes.

No one in the pack knew what to make of this female, especially Yeosang, when he met her last time he was here ─which he could only faintly remember─ she was definetly in charge to some degree here, he only wondered how much power she actually had.

"Yes, we are, can you help us?" Hongjoong asked taking a couple of steps forwards, the female eyed him up and down from her postion on the desk, "I can, but what can I benefit from this exchange"

"You don't have a choice Trinity, Taeyong's order" Jeno said from over by the bar, he was busy inspecting a bottle of what looked to be red wine.

"My brother has no authority of what goes on in my club" Trinity hissed, whipping a knife from a holder on her leg she threw it across the room, the Werewolves followed it's rapid movement, watching as it pinned Jeno's arm to the wall by the sleeve of his shirt. "Put it down", her warning did not fall upon deaf ears as Jeno yanked the knife from the wall, before putting the bottle of wine back into it's rightful place on the rack.

When Tia turned her attention back to Trinity she was surprised to notice the female vampire was watching her, it was an unnerving gaze that made the goosebumps re-appear on Tia's skin, despite Yeosang's hand still on her exposed lower back.

With a snap of her finger the two male vampires froze, "Jaemin will you go and get the witches vile from the other night" Jaemin walked out from behind the bar, exiting the room swiftly.

"What is up with the viles of blood" Yeosang asked, be damned if curiosity killed the cat, he had to know what his blood in the vile would be used for.

Trinity's gaze drifited to him, "You've had your taken here before?" she questioned, her red painted nails strummbing against the wood of the desk.

"I have, and would be elated if you tell me what it was for?"

Trinity raised an eyebrow, with a smirk "Well congratuations you can officially never hide from me"

When confusion made way on ever single one of the wolves faces Trinity didn't hide her laughter, allowing it to come out loud and clear.

"To sum it up for you, I have a gift where I can track anyone through their blood, when it touches my lips a craving builds and I always want more, over years I've learned to fight that craving but the singing never stops"

"Singing?" Hongjoong asked, Trinity's eyes darkened as her smirk widened, "The blood" she paused taking a second to inspect the blood red nail polish on her tallon like nails "it sings, calls to me, it's how I track someone"

Tia's stomach curled, the thought of it was sickening to her, tracking someone through their blood, it was impressive but scary, she had come here before. Her flatmate was a vampire, how many times had she come here? How much of her blood did they have?

Pushing the thoughts from her mind she tried to ease her hammering nerves, Yeosangs's skin contact was helping but no where near as much as she would have liked. The door to the room opened and Jaemin walked back inside, this was the distraction she needed.

He walked over, Jeno joinging him with a glass of alcohol. Trinity hopped off the desk, taking both the glass and vile. The second and third gave each other worried glances, "Trinity you don't have to, we can always look for another witch" Jeno said quietly trying to stop his words from travelling to the ears of the wolves.

"Jeno it will be okay" she tried to reasure, "You know there is possibility it won't be" Jaemin snipped earning a warning glare for the female

"What is the matter?" Hongjoong asked, the three vamps looked at him, "Taking the blood of a witch can be dangerous" Jaemin answered sending a pointed look to Trinity, she ignored it of course popping the cap off the vile, tipping it over the glass of alchol, They all watched as the blood flowed down through the drink, the blood started out red, but gradually changed colour infront of their eyes, going blue, green, purple and finally the colour settled for white. As Trinity swirled the glass in her hand it lightned the colour of the drink.

With zero hesitation she threw the drink back, letting out a hiss as it burned the back of her throat, the blood in the mixture soaking into her own bloodstream fast, the magic within it burning.

Jeno and Jaemin caught her when she fell, knees buckling her body went rigid at their touch. The werewolves watched on as the female vampire began shaking, her hands twitched and the two male vampires desperatley held onto her body, which seemed to be growing in temperature as the witch's magic coursed and attacked her bodily system.

As quickly as she had drunk the drink, the shaking stopped. She was letting out heavy laboured breaths that reminded Tia of a runner after they had finished a sprint. A muttered curse came from Trinity as she shook her head, "It's useless, The witch has blocked her blood."

"What, what does that mean?" Yunho asked still beside Tia, "It mean" Trinity said looking up at them, sweat trickled down her brow and her facial features were contorted in discomfort, "The witch knew I could track her and has used her magic to block me from doing so"

"So you can't track her?" Hongjoong questioned, the female seemed to hiss in frustration answering "No, I can't"

The wolves seemed to understand what this meant now, finding the witch would now be near to impossible, But like they had said eariler in the night trouble just seemed to find them, so of course things were not over.

Another vampire came crashing through the door, Jeno left Jaemin to hold Trinity as he met the other vamp half way, "We have a deranged vampire in the club" leaning in he whispered something to Jeno, "It's the vampire who took Tia's memories"

"What's a deranged vampire?" Tia asked aloud, ever creature in the room gave her a look, "It dear Tia, is a vampire who has lost all control of themselve and kills anything with a pulse" Trinity stated, pushing off the arms of the vampires around her.

Steadying herself she stood up, her own heels adding a few inches to her height, Trinity tried to bury the unpleasant feeling rolling inside her, the magic was still at work within her system.

"It also means we" Trinity smirked while she gestured to the three smirking male vampires stood around her "Get to have a little fun"

The wolves all shared glances with each other, Hongjoong was the first to move, following the vampires as they left the room.

Tia frowned as they all moved out the room, Yeosang now had his arm wrapped around her waist, fingers gripping to the side of her hip opposite to the side he was stood. Suki had also appeared next to her, "The Deranged vampires are forbidden by laws of the order" she muttered, her heels clicking at her fast pace. Tia sent a nervous glance her way, sticking by her side when Yeosang walked off for a second to talk to Yunho and Hongjoong, "What does that mean for us?" she questioned the female shifter walking at her side.

Suki's brow furrowed as she watched the vampires ahead of them, "Well I imagine Yeosang wants to get you out of here as soon as possible, but I don't know what we can do really none of us have much experience with deranged vamps" Suki explained casting Wooyoung a look as he too, walked off ahead.

The group of them had now stopped at the door leading back out to the main area of the club, yelling could be heard from the other side of the door, the smashing of glass had Tia flinching.

Hongjoong sent a look back to check on the two females, nodding he turned back to the vamps, Trinity was speaking to her second in command, Jeno but upon feeling the young werewolves gaze on her she paused her conversation to cast him a look with a raised eyebrow.

"We want no part in this" Hongjoong said watching the female vampire as she shifted her weight into her hip, "That may not be up to you, seeing the deranged one is here for her" She spoke quiter but flitted her stare passed the four male shifters, towards the two other girls stood at the back of the group, focusing in on the only human amongst them.

"We can get you out but we can't go through the main entrance, it was put on lockdown to ensure the deranged could not escape"

Hongjoong rubbed his lower lip with his fingers in thought, nodding he gave a look to Yunho gesturing his head to the two girls Yunho obbeyed moving back to stand with Suki and Tia.

Yeosang and Wooyoung both went to protest but Hongjoong beat them to it, "I can't have you to distracted if something goes wrong, Yunho can watch Tia and we all know Suki can very well take care of herself" the pair fell silent, both worrying for their mates.

If Tia was in danger because of the deranged vampire, Yeosang wanted to be the one to watch out for her. He trusted Yunho and Suki, they were the packs best fighters but the groups knack for getting into trouble made what they were about to step into all the more unpredictable.

"Seonghwa will sense us coming out, he will meet us, Jongho and Mingi won't be far behind" Hongjoong added turning back to the now two vampires stood at the door.

Hongjoong had no idea what had led them to trusting vampires, but if they could get them all out of here unharmed he wasn't going to throw up a fuss about the new alliance.

Trinity swung the door open, giving way to silence, she sent the wolves a look before leaving, Jeno close covering her back.

The main room of a the club was emtpy, ridden of all the party goers that were there moments before. The lights still shone down, casting a green glow on them as they moved. The music pounded out from the speakers, filling the eery 'silence' as they moved.

Tia couldn't hold back the instinct to hold her breath as they moved through the room, Yunho was close to her side Suki following behind. Hongjoong, Wooyoung and Yeosang were walking ahead of them, the latter sending back looks ever few mintues.

Glass crunched beneath the soles of Tia's shoes, pausing to glance down she lifted her shoe, the sight had her stomach flipping inside her abdomen, the glass was a darkned colour that was warped by the green lights but the thickness of it had Tia coming to the realisation it was not alcohol. It was a red substance that was thick and probably still warm, she shuddered. Yunho nudged her, glancing back she moved when he gestured for her to keep moving.

They moved as quietly as they could around the perimeter of the room, vampires spread around the room, hidden behind flipped over tables and the bar, each with a wooden stake in hand clutched close to their chest.

The red glow of each pair of eyes stood out, in the darkness, a sense of fascination overtook Tia and she walked off to the side, walking away from the relative safety of the wall.

The music came to a haulting stop as the speakers started making a crackling noise. When they seemed to die completly the room was dropped into the depths of a dead silence, no one and nothing moved, "Tia" Suki warned in a hussed whisper, a certain fear seaped into her voice, just as Tia was about to turned to look at her a high pitched ringing echoed throughout the room, ever creature had their hands wrapped around their ears, trying to block out the painful noise. Tia who was unaffected by the noise watched on in horror as the vampires around the room dropped their stakes in order to cover their ears, most had now left themselves open and deffensless.

Tia was still watching out into the room when a figure dropped down infront of her, the man's eyes glowed differently to that of the other vampires, he smirked at her while his eyes darkened, his lips hitched out the way setting loose the elongated canines. "Tia!" she heard someone call out, the high pitched ringing making it impossible to tell who it was.

Then the lights went out.

Pludged into darkness, the body's natural instinct kicked in as the other senses jumped into hyper drive, the ringing stopped and Tia's eye widened, trying to draw in light even though there was none.

Feeling something grabbed her arm she didn't stop the scream that left her lips, "It's just me" Suki said from somewhere next to her.

Hand moving out to find Suki, Tia jumped once more when her hands came in contact with what felt like fur, feeling around of the furry surface her fingers travelled up and over what felt to be the curve of a spine, the body of a wolf.

"It's Yunho" Suki added still having hold of Tia's arm, when she spoke Tia felt Yunho push himself up against her body, from where he stood against her side she could only hazzard a guess at how large he actually was in his wolf form, his shoulder height being around her chest.

Bright white lights came on, and Tia held her arm up to shield her eyes, not prepared for the sheer brightness of the lights.

She glanced at the wolf by her side, Yunho's big head turned to look at her, his yellow glowing eyes meeting hers, she felt her jaw drop open at the sight of him, dropping her hand onto the sandy brown fur of his coat she thread her fingers through it, marvelling at how soft it was.

A growl came from the other side of the room making Tia advert her eyes, if she thought her jaw had dropped open before she was terrible wrong, there stood with their back ends towards them was three equally big wolves. Hongjoong, Yeosang and Wooyoung she realised. Not having any clue who was who she just scanned each of them.

The trio took up a protective stance infront of Yunho, Suki and herself. Trinity and Jeno were both among them, each with a stake in hand. The five of them were facing off the man who had dropped down infront of Tia before the lights went off, the deranged vampire, the one who had taken Tia's memories. He grinned at her, which resulted in a sandy blonde wolf snapping his jaw at him. The shorter of the three wolves, that had a reddish brown coat made a noise towards Yunho.

Suki and Yunho both seemed to undertsand the command, Yunho nudged Tia along back to the wall with his nose, leading her from the room. When the deranged Vampire took notice of this the smirk wiped from his lips, stepping to go after them, he was stopped by the same Sandy blonde wolf from before, it made a hissing noise at him this time as it walked forward head lowered with it's teeth bared.

The last thing Tia saw over her shoulder before leaving the room was the sandy blonde wolf launching itself at the deranged vampire.

The trio hurried down another hallway, Yunho leading in his wolf form. Tia could feel her heart pick up a pace inside her, while the three of them tried and continously failed to find the exit.

"Oh for fucks sake" Suki hissed as they yet again came to another locked door, 'Exit' written above it in green glowed down taunting them.

Yunho was stayed behind the two girls, keeping watch down the hallway while Suki tried to shake the handle of the door once more. Tia glanced at Yunho when he began to growl, taking a couple steps out into the hallway.

Suki stopped in her effort to watch Yunho as he leaped away from them, Suki ran passed Tia to look at what had set Yunho off.

Two more deranged vampires had followed them away from the others, Yunho was trying to use his body to block them from getting to Tia and Suki. He matched the vamps moves, one jumped over the top of Yunho as he was occupied by the other.

Suki readied herself, the vampire hissed at her, she smirked back, the deranged vamp came at her fast.

Grabbing it by the arms Suki used all her body weight and a little help of her foot to trip it up and throw it into the wall behind her. It stopped itself with its hands whipping it head back in her direction to throw itself at her again, grabbing her shoulders the vamp walked her back into a wall. Where it started to raised its fist and got a few blows to the side of her head.

Bringing her knee up it collided with the vamps man hood, it hunched forwards and she brought her balled fists down on it's back.

Tia feeling helpless, had done the only logical thing she could think of, turning to the exit she bagan hammering her fists against the door, kicking it she yelled out for anyone on the other side who could help.

Yunho thinking something was wrong took his focus off the vampire who he was fighting for a split second, giving the deranged vamp time to gain one up on him, It tackled into his side, knocking him onto the ground of the hallway.

Knocking off from his bearings Yunho could do nothing as the vampire lept over him, heading straight in Tia's direction.

Suki took notice of this, using the wall to her advantage she pushed with every ounce of her stength, prying the vampire off her it stood tall infornt of her, bringing her heeled foot up she kicked the vampire in the stomach sending him flying back straight in the path of an awaiting Yunho.

Clamping his jaws down into the shoulder of the vampire Suki had sent his way he threw the vampire into the wall. Keeping a close eye on him as Suki rushed to aid Tia.

Tia hadn't noticed the vampire behind her. Still beating hard against the exit door, in hopes someone of the other side would hear her crys for help.

Feeling the presence of another, she stopped with a a fist raised mid air to knock against the door, looking over her shoulder panic spiked as the vampire stood breathing heavily while watching her with dangerous eyes. Facing it she pressed her back to the door, when it moved to grab her she ducked under it's arms, trying to evade it's deathly grasp. It hissed when it hit the door, spinning back to her with a snarl.

Suki had run staright passed her in a blurry of movement, grabbing hold of the derange vamp Tia watched on with wide eyes as Suki threw the vamp to the floor, knee pressed into it's chest she raised her fist to pumpel the vamps face in. It knocked her off of itself, Suki fell and rolled back up, jumping onto her feet in seconds grabbing the vamp by the scruff of the neck as it went to grab at Tia, she took a couple steps back jumping when she walked straight into something. Yunho gruffed behind her, using his body to balance her back out. Tia relaxed seeing he was okay.

Suki let out a roar of a scream as she hauled the vamp back towards her, hitting it in the lower neck the vamp stummbled back a few paces winded. The vamp bared it's fangs at her in a feirce display of a hiss, grabbing one of the elongated fangs with her bare hands Suki dragged the deranged vamp towards the exit, grasping the shoulders of his clothing she threw him at the exit and the door gave way under his weight.

The deranged vampire groaned from it's place ontop of the door which now lay flat on the ground in an alleyway behind the club. Suki used one of her fingers to brush a strand of hair from her face, walking down the steps of the exit she smirked at the vamp, crouching down hands gripping the sides of his head she ripped it clean off his shoulders.

Dropping the head she dusted her hands off on her jeans, as if what she had done was no more then splitting wood. Tia hesitantly followed out the exit, Yunho still in wolf form close behind her.

"That went well" Suki shrugged

Yunho made a huffing noise as he regarded his pack sisters words, Tia watched on in amusement as Yunhos body seemed to miraciously change right infront of her eyes, fur turned to pale skin and clothing, eyes stopped glowing and he raised to his full height.

Never in her life has she ever thought something like this could be possible, like people literally turning into oversized dogs right infront of her, it was crazy.

"Are you hurt?" Yunho asked, stepping over to examine her for any injuries, Tia shook her head, "I'm fine" eyes darting to the body of the beheaded derange vampire, "I think"

Suki moved into her line of sight, "I'm sorry you had to stand witness to all of that"

It didn't appear that Tia was listening as she turned back to the door, "do you think the others are alright?" she said, speaking her mind.

"Of course we are" Wooyoung said appearing in the doorway of the exit a smirk adoring his lips.

Tia could hear Suki exhale at the sight of her mate, Wooyoung came down the steps and met his mate in a hug. Hongjoong was the next to appear, holding his hand to a wound on his shoulder, "Easy for you to say" he mummbled, casting a look to the final person coming out the door.

The look had made Tia's stomach drop, and as soon as Yeosang made his entrance she had already moved to get to him. The tightening in her chest eased as he got to the bottom of the stairs, Tia didn't waste any time throwing herself against him, he locked his arms around he waistr. Feeling her bury her face into his shoulder in relief.

The others seemed to back off, Yeosang looked down to her when she pulled away "I thought something was going to happen to you" she admitted quietly, "I thought you might not come back"

Tucking his finger under her chin he forced Tia to look at him when he gently raised her head up, "I'll always come back for you"

A flurry of heavy emotion weighed in her chest at his words, a realisation that no matter what happend she was as much his as he was hers. The whole thing of being mated to him had made her scared at first but the fear of losing him was far greater.

Raising up she crashed her lips to his, allowing him to become all for her, in the form of a simple yet sweet kiss. Everything she could ever want was wrapped into the small action, smiling when Yeosang deepened it gripping the back of her head gently with his hand, fingers knotting into her hair.

She could be safe now, he thought, he would keep her safe from everything.

In the shadows of the alleyway, two stood watching, elated the wolves had not sensed their presence yet. Gripping the poison laced steel dagger tightly in his hand. Chancing a look to Mina across from him, he saw her pull her mask up over the lower half of her face before giving a quick nod.

Breathing steady, the pair of them launched out from their hiding places. Dagger raised, poised to stab into the back of the werewolf stood distracted by the action of kissing another.

The other wolves seemed to spot them first, and everything moved in slow motion as one of the male wolves ran at them.

Suki yelled out a warning to Tia and Yeosang as soon as she realised the person running at them was a hunter. Panic froze her body while she watched the events unfold

As the hunters small blade came down towards Yeosang, no one had been prepared for another to jump straight into the line of the lowering dagger.

When the posion dipped blade sank into the victims shoulder a peircy scream rippled from the female down the other side of the alley. Too shocked, all of the werewolves, plus the one human female stood stunned as they watched one of their own fall to the floor, life threatening wound in his shoulder.

Suki screamed yet again, this time moving as she ran after her mate, landing on her knees next to him she hardly noticed when all the others crowded down next to her.

Face twitching from the affects of the heart stopping amount of fear coursing through her, Suki pressed her hands to his wound trying to stop the bleeding in his shoulder, the unknown poison burned away at the skin on her hands as she pressed them to his wound.

In her lap lay the head of her mate, who looked up at her with a pained expression, one which she never wished to see ever, not even in her nightmares. She wiped away the solitary tear that slide down Wooyoung's cheek with the pad of her thumb.

He was dying and there was nothing any of them could do to stop it.

Love Yourself (Bangtan and EXO fanfiction/SehunxOC)

Chapter 19

A/N: Arabella belongs to LeopardstarSilver!

The calls from that anonymous fan wouldn't cease, and I was growing anxious. A week had passed since the idols arrived in Yunokawa and the award show was just a few days away. Despite the death threats and tight security, I continued to practice with Jungkook, who helped my further improve on my rapping skills, and on this bright warm day, the idols were invited to attend a street festival in the town. There was a shrine up ahead for the people to pray and make wishes, and the night Kagura would be performed before the fireworks show. I figured this would be a great distraction from the stress I was feeling.

"Waaaaa!" Taehyung exclaimed as he looked around, eyes wide as he looked at the cute Japanese girls giggle and pass by. "We're in a manga, guys!"

"So what should we do first?" Jimin asked, looking between the three groups. "Play some games? Drink?"

"Let's save the drinking until the fireworks show," Kai laughed, slapping his shoulder gently.

"Good, Namjoon and I don't want to carry you drunkards later, so please behave," Suho smiled widely and Namjoon doubled over, laughing uncontrollably.

"Ne, Eomma!" Baekhyun let out an exaggerated sigh of disappointment. "Kkaebsong..."

Hoseok began to laugh as well before pointing outward, "Ya! Let's play that game over there!" He looked to one of the stands.

"Right behind you," Joy linked arms with him, dragging him along, and Namjoon added.

"Remember! Don't wander off!"

I watched everyone leave, smiling to myself as they spread out, trying food and whatever games their yen could afford. I didn't notice Sehun standing beside me, hands tucked into the pockets of his skinny jeans as he smirked crookedly, "Should we have some fun too?"

"If you want," I shrugged. "what should we do first?"

"Bubble tea," he answered quickly. "We can't have fun without bubble tea."

I rolled my eyes playfully and began to walk ahead with him trailing behind me, looking for a stand that sold said beverage. Eventually, I found a stand where several girls dressed in school uniforms were drinking their iced coffee with tapioca bubbles. I walked toward the stand and spoke to the barista, "Sumimasen? Futatsu no ocha onegaishimasu?"

"Kashikomarimashita," the barista bowed before me before turning to make out bubble tea.

"Arigatou gozaimasu," I nodded and took a step back.

"Oh ho," Sehun stared at me in amazement. "Your Japanese is impressive..."

I smiled up at him. "I can teach you if you teach me Mandarin."

"Deal," he grinned.

I grabbed our bubble tea and handed the barista the right amount of yen before we continued down the street, listening to the people as they talked and laughed, wind chimes dancing and shimmering above us against the bright gold lanterns. I sipped my bubble tea before looking to the wind chimes, and I truly felt like I was in a shojo anime.

"They're very pretty," Sehun commented and I nodded in agreement.

"I've always wanted to stand underneath the lanterns and wind chimes," I said. "During high school, since we don't have these kinds of events, I would watch anime and imagine myself as the heroine dressed in a pretty yukata to surprise my tall, handsome, and otherwise brooding boyfriend. Then the two of us would attend this festival."

"I didn't know you were the dreamy type," he remarked with a chuckle. "I take it you've never had a boyfriend before?"

"Ani," I shook my head, facing him. "You're my first. I've never had a boyfriend in high school or university."

"Oh, jinjjah?!" he asked with excitement. "I'm truly your first?" He laughed proudly. "You're my first too, which means I'm the hero and I get to stand under these wind chimes with you."

"I couldn't ask for anything better," I smiled and we gazed at each other for several moments before continuing our walk. "You're tall and handsome, and you only act like the brooding type on stage, so you fit the description rather well."

"Should I deliver some cheesy romantic lines then?" He pressed on. "We can turn this anime into a drama."

I found myself laughing, and he joined me in laughter as well. This man truly amazed me and I can see why his hyungs love him so much. He's the light of their lives, always bringing a smile to their faces, and in return, they baby and pamper him like the baby brother of their family. His laugh was adorable and contagious, that wide eye smile spreading across his face and adding to his boyish charm. We wandered from stall to stall playing games, taking selfies together, and engaging in the most fun of conversations, and it felt like we could be a couple without having to worry about a scandal. It must have been the sugar from the bubble tea but we were both hyper now.

"Yehet! Cotton candy!" He sang, holding up a pink cloud of fluff on a stick in his hand. "Let's share, jagi!"

"Maybe you should cut down on the sugar," I suggested with a giggle and he shook his head.

"No way. I got my braces off months before and I couldn't even eat sweets," he walked beside me now. "I'm eating tons of candy from now on and I deserve it, especially red bean candy."

"Alright, you puppy," I patted his arm and I could feel his long fingers lacing with my own small ones, holding onto my hand. I raised my brows and looked up at him once more. "Oppa, are you sure it's okay to hold hands like this in public?"

"Of course," he pulled me closer and he placed the cotton candy in front of me. "Have some!"

I glanced at the treat before ripping a piece and popping it into my mouth, the fluffy cloud of sugar dissolving into my mouth. "Mmm!" I squealed happily. "It's good. It's been a while since I've had this."

"Right?" Sehun asked before having some himself, walking together and holding hands once more before he spun and pulled me closer, his lips finding mine effortlessly. I hummed into his mouth, kissing him back and tasting bubble tea and cotton candy on his lips.

The cotton candy was all but forgotten, and his fingers laced through my hair, deepening the kiss before I pulled away for some air. I laughed breathily, meeting his dark gaze as my arms rested on his broad shoulders. "We should have been more discreet, don't you think?"

"I don't really care right now," he smirked mischievously. "Besides, I wouldn't be the evil maknae if I didn't steal at least one kiss from you, right?"

"No, I guess not," I agreed.

"I want to kiss you again, jagi," he leaned down, pushing his forehead against mine, his soft black hair brushing against my eyelids. "No, actually, I want to give you a thousand kisses."

"Maybe when there aren't so many people," I took a step back, my cheeks flaring at his words. He's always so sincere. It's hard to believe he was very shy when we first met. He's become so much more lively and I found myself adoring this Sehun—the guy who is always being spoiled by his hyungs and acting childishly, just so he could gain some attention.

Suddenly, the sound of screaming came from the haunted house up ahead and out came Jin, running and flailing his hands. "What's this?! What?! What?!" He screamed.

The eldest member of Bangtan fell on his backside, screaming hysterically, and I wasted no time running to his aid, Sehun right behind me.

"Oppa!" I called out and Jin breathed heavily, holding his chest in an attempt to calm his racing heart.

He looked up, "Ha-Neul-ah! Sehun-ah!" he was hyperventilating now. "Th-There was a man with a scalpel! A-And another with a chainsaw!"

"Gwenchana, hyung?" He knelt before Jin, extending his hand and helping him to his feet. "Aigoo, did you go into that haunted house?"

I sighed heavily, my hands pressed to my hips before I saw Chen and Xiumin running out of the house as well, completely unfazed by the fictional horrors within.

"You just went screaming," Chen laughed a bit. "Gwenchanayo?"

"Are you serious?" I asked firmly. "Why did you let him go in there? If he's afraid of cute dogs, he won't be able to survive a haunted house!"

"Oh, we didn't dare him to go in," Xiumin raised his hands, eyes wide in denial. "Jin-ah said something along the lines of, 'I'm not afraid, you know?!'"

"Never believe him when he says that!" I said with exasperation, then Joy came out, a pout on her face.

"Did you get scared too?" Sehun asked, furrowing his dark brows with concern as she raised a hand, whimpering.

"Sehun oppa," she spoke like a sad younger sister. "The doggy didn't like me! He bit me!"

"W-Wha...?" I was utterly confused until I remembered their most recent song. "Oh right... she's into werewolves. Gotta remember that!"

"Jinjjah?!" Sehun exclaimed before holding the bridge of his nose. "Aish... that was a man in a costume!"

She sniffled and walked toward me, holding me tightly, "Ha-Neul-ah!"

"Aigoo," I chuckled tiredly, patting her back.

"Aaah, how can you like that werewolf?!" Jin cried out in horror. "Girls have weird taste in men!"

There was no denying that. I'm actually glad Sehun is... mostly normal.

"I think their recent song is still stuck in her head," Xiumin muttered to Chen, smirking.

"Definitely," he agreed, crossing his arms.

"I think that's enough horror for today," I spoke, my hands holding Joy's elbows as I looked between my friends. "The night Kagura should be starting soon. How about we meet with the others and get a good spot at the shrine to watch?"

"Good idea," Jin said, still fidgeting. "D-Don't tell anyone I was afraid."

"They'll know anyway, Eomma," I replied.

******

The night Kagura was about to begin and the people attending the festival surrounded the open area of the shrine, where the Shrine Priestess was to perform. I noticed a camera crew was setting up their equipment for the performance, and there was a photographer present as well.

She had lustrous silver hair, and she was in an oversized black t-shirt and denim shorts, her fedora put to the side with her camera as she adjusted her appearance before a mirror. She wore looped earrings and had a nose piercing as well, a slim choker wrapped around her neck with bracelets on each wrist.

"Ready, Bella?!" One of the crew asked and she put her fedora on her head, changing the lenses of her camera.

"Ready!" She said, beginning to take photos of the stage. Her booties clicked against the pavement as she took more pictures.

"Wonder where the Shrine Maiden is," Jimin looked around and then he found her seated on the side, wearing an elaborate kimono embroidered in different-colored flowers.

"I'm glad I'm back here," Kai held his hip and smiled. "I didn't have a chance to go to Kyoto when I was filming a drama here. I would have loved to the Kagura back then."

"The Kagura is a ritual dance used to exorcise evil spirits from shrines," I explained. "Shrine Maidens take their jobs seriously. They're very different from the priestesses you see in anime."

"I bet," Irene nodded as she looked over the woman's kimono. "Just look at how much detail is on her attire. It's beautiful."

"Maybe we can use this time to incorporate some aspects of the Kagura into our choreography," Jungkook suggested. "That is if any of us are singing in Japanese."

"Maybe the flow of her dance can be in our choreography," Yoongi droned.

"Guys, it's starting!" Hoseok watched the Shrine Maiden walk toward the center of the Shrine, the bells in her hand chiming as she walked. She came to a stop, and a geisha began to play her shamisen, and the Kagura commenced.

Sehun took out his phone, filming a small amount of the dance before posting it on Instagram, and Chanyeol watched in astonishment as she moved along the pavement, the banners at the end of the bells flying with her dance.

"She has no emotion on her face," he muttered as he observed the Shrine Maiden's visage. "You can tell she takes this seriously."

"Such a beautiful dance," Wendy hummed. "She's focused on the technique as well as the spiritual benefit of being cleansed."

"This could work for our choreography!" Yeri chirped. "We should make a full movie and study her dance!"

"Good idea," Seulgi pulled out her phone as well, making a movie of the show.

I watched the priestess spin gracefully before the sound of a camera went of beside me. I looked at the silver-haired woman who looked into the viewfinder before snapping more pictures.

"Simply breathtaking," she smiled. "And the lighting is perfect, don't you think?"

"I agree," I said and the woman turned to me, smiling kindly. "I noticed you were with a bunch of good-looking guys and girls. Do you happen to be celebrities?"

"Well," I chuckled nervously before shrugging. "Something like that." I couldn't really say anything or else it would stir some unwanted attention. There was already enough trouble with that anonymous fan. "I'm Ha-Neul."

"Arabella, but you can call me Bella," she said. "Seriously though, I feel like I know you and your friends from somewhere... a movie, or a magazine perhaps?"

"Ah, the bells are chiming again!" Taehyung squealed as he pressed against Baekhyun, who threw his arms around him and giggled.

"Right?! They sound so pretty!" He beamed with delight and I noticed Bella's dumbfounded expression, her eyes wide as she stared in Taehyung's direction, then toward Baekhyun before the rest of Bangtan, EXO, And Red Velvet. She nearly dropped her camera but I was quick to catch it.

"Whoa there!" I said, and she still didn't look away. I laughed and placed the camera in her hands. "This looks pretty expensive. Wouldn't want it breaking while you're doing your job, now would you?"

"You guys are," she pressed a hand to her mouth. "Bangtan... EXO... and Red Velvet..."

I feared she would scream and alert the people around her but instead, she kept it inside, her intense gaze staring into my own.

"Don't worry, I promise not to say anything," she whispered. "I seriously didn't think I would ever run into the biggest groups in the KPOP industry!"

"I take it you're a fan?" I smirked.

"A big fan," she giggled. "Congrats on your debut, by the way. Bangtan is lucky to have you."

"Thank you," I looked back at the performance.

Unsuspectedly, someone stood out from the crowd and walked into the middle of the shrine, and the Shrine Maiden slowly stopped dancing, irritation in her eyes as the person stepped up.

"Just what are you doing?!" She asked her, and one more closer look and I noticed the woman that came out from the crowd was Eun-jae. "The Kagura is sacred! It cannot be interrupted!"

"Save your breath," Eun-jae scoffed before looking to the audience. "What are you all waiting for?! The show's over! Get out of here!"

The crowd murmured as they eyed Eun-jae and she exclaimed again, this time at the top of her lungs, and I never suspected she would have an unfavorable side to her. She happened to be rather sweet when I first met her. The audience decided to listen and they thinned out, leaving our groups, the priestess and Bella in the shrine now.

"Eun-jae," I began. "What's going on? Why are you acting this way?"

"Do you really think studying an ancient dance will help you guys win some stupid award?" She asked and this definitely wasn't the bubbly stylist I ran into back at the modeling agency.

"The hell's your problem?" Namjoon asked her. "No need to act all hostile. You could have just waited until it ended."

"Then I wouldn't be able to do this," she gestured. "Gather all of you here. Now, I could care less about your groups, but I have a big problem with one of you?"

"And who might that be?" Suho narrowed his eyes. "Because the last time we checked, we don't know you at all."

"You don't," she admitted. "but Ha-Neul does."

I furrowed my brows, "What are you talking about...?"

"You really are a dense country bumpkin, aren't you?" She groaned in annoyance. "I'm the one who sent you those death threats. I'm the supposed yandere fan that wants Jungkook."

I released a gasp, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I met her eyes.

She was definitely the last person I expected to do something like this. All of that hate was coming from her because I found a place among Bangtan and Jungkook is my friend. Halmeoni, this is the first anti-fan I've ever met and I believe it's going to be very difficult to deal with her. I wish I knew what to do because the last thing I want is for her to give my friends a hard time. These award shows are important to them and they shouldn't have to deal with this hate. I wonder what you did when you faced hate like this.
