The Forbidden Game

The Game From Back Then

The black haired man began to speak to the other 4 and as they listened, she inspected them. They were all handsome to say the least, and damn her for even thinking that in this situation.

On one couch was the brown haired man that accompanied the black haired one at the bar. He was also tall, around 6'2" she thought and he was also very built, a bit more than the man sitting beside her talking about finances or some bullshit she wasn't paying attention to. His brown hair came to his ears like Zac Efron in that one movie about high school or whatever that movie was about. It was curly and clean, and his emerald green eyes were beautiful with long lashes. He had tanned skin in a "I like to be outdoors" kind of way and large hands and feet.

Beside him was a man with long, straight silver hair down to his mid-back with slanted, piercing yellow eyes. His arms were crossed across his broad chest and his muscles shown through his loose shirt. He looked bored, and sighed.

He looks like some kind of anime character or something...thought Luna as she drifted her eyes to the other couch to inspect the last 2 men in the room.

They almost looked like twins sitting there together. The one farthest from her had choppy black hair down to his chin and my God his eyes really were red. like BRIGHT red!

That's not a natural eye color...he must be a cosplayer or something, Luna thought.

He was tall and well built it seemed as well. There seemed to be a pattern here. He noticed her staring as she got lost in her thought and he smiled gently at her and winked. She blushed and looked away at the man sitting next to him. She could hear him chuckle as she began to inspect the last one.

He looked oddly identical to the man beside him with his height and built and pale skin to match. He had short black hair laid to one side and wore black rimmed glasses. Behind them, were yellow eyes much like the silver-haired man but they resembled that of a snake ready to strike. She made a mental note to be wary of that one in particular.

As she did, she visibly shivered. She was still in a lace nightgown after all. The man sitting next to her noticed and stopped talking to drape a blanket around her that was lying in the backside of the couch they were sitting on. She whispered "Thank You" as she tugged her legs underneath the blanket and held it around herself tightly.

"Princess, are you ready to find out why you are here?" he asked.

"Sweet baby Jesus, yes," she said impatiently.

"Let us start by re-introducing ourselves to you. My name is-" he began to say before she cut him off.

"What do you mean by re-introducing!? I have never met any of you! I'm confused and scared and I'm just getting pissed off! I want to go home. I have animals to feed and friends that have probably put out a missing persons on me!" She was beginning to let her emotions take over and was trembling.

The man cleared his throat and looked at her with a devilish smirk. He placed his elbow on the arm of the sofa and framed his hand to support his handsome face. There she goes again with the handsome, she rolled her eyes in her mind at herself.

"Oh dear girl but we HAVE met before. As I was saying before your cute little outburst, my name is Jin."

Did he just f*****g say cute little outburst! I'll f*****g show him cute...wait, Jin...She repeated the name in her head several times. I know that name!

"I'm Ryan, hello again beautiful," said the brown haired man with a boyish grin.

"I am Akira," said the silver haired man."It is lovely to see you again."

I know these names...where have I heard these names before!? she thought to herself.

"Hello my darling, I am Sebastian," said the red eyed man with a bow and a smile.

"I am Collin, the pleasure is all mine," said the yellow eyed man as he pushed his glasses up his straight nose.

Realization started to set in for her as she had finally remembered where she had heard these names before. Her eyes began to grow wide and her pouty lips opened just slightly.

Jin lowered his mouth to her ear and whispered in an almost seductive tone, "Have you finally remembered who we are." She held her head straight but moved her eyes to him to notice his unnaturally white teeth in a wide grin. As she looked closer, she noticed they were not normal teeth, but they were fangs.

Her eyes shot open and she moved to the farthest side of the couch. She moved so quickly she almost fell off of it. The blanket she had wrapped around her fell to the carpeted floor and she began to pant out of panic.

All 5 men stared at her as she pointed her finger at Jin and began to shakingly whisper, "No...it can't be...you aren't real...it was just a game."

"Oh but we are very real Princess," Jin said as he began to edge himself closer to her. He wasn't trying to be threatening, he just wanted to make sure she didn't fall, but Luna saw it as a panther on the prowl, or in his case, a vampire on the hunt.

Tears began to sting her eyes, threatening to fall as they pooled in the corners around her thick lashes. She couldnt believe that they were real. How long had they been following her? They played that game when she was 12, had they been around this whole time!?

Jin had grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently to bring her out of her thoughts. She looked up at him with shiny silver eyes. She looked around at the other men. Ryan was a werewolf, Akira is a werefox, Sebastian and Collin are soul eating demons...she was remembering everything from their game nearly 10 years ago.

"Luna?"

She was snapped back towards Jin, who looked at her with a worried expression. She was on sensory and information overload and did the only thing her mind would let her do. She smiled at him and as one tear slid down her pink tinted cheek, she said, "I know you."

With that, her mind and body gave out and she fainted.

*Jin's POV*

He caught her in his arms before she fainted. He sighed as he laid her down on the couch and draped the blanket over her.

"That was to be expected, I suppose," he turned to look at the other 4 gentlemen.

"I thought it went quite well," said Collin.

"So what is our next move? Do we want to explain our plans for her and why she is here and possibly scare her even more?" asked Akira.

"I agree with the fox, she is obviously terrified and vulnerable right now. Is there anything else we can do to postpone giving her that information?" asked Sebastian.

Jin ran his long fingers through his shoulder length black hair and began to ponder the best outcome for not only them, but for Luna too.

"I suggest we hide our plans for her for the moment. We should let her come to terms with the fact we are real and let her get to know us again. Once she is comfortable and trusts us, we will reveal our plans." Jin placed his hands together in front of his face before turning to glance at her peaceful form.

"That's all fine and dandy, but what if she asks why she is here? We have kidnapped this girl for ourselves and to think she won't ask is plain stupidity," Ryan said as he stood from the couch to stretch. He was getting anxious and his wolf was wanting to be let out to run off the anxiety.

"I didn't say lie to her," Jin glared over his fingers at the wolf. Disgusting mutt. "We will just not reveal everything when she does ask. Whomever she decides to confide in, we will tell her of her origins and we brought her here to awaken her powers. To help her find out who she truly is."

All 4 men nodded in agreement. It wasn't a lie, that was one reason why she was brought here, it just wasn't the main reason. Jin was hoping she would confide in him since once upon a time, he was her favorite. Ultimately, it was her choice but he wouldn't try his damndest to win her over and be her favorite once more.

"I suppose I will go find something to make her for lunch when she wakes up," Sebastian said, standing and heading to the kitchen.

Ryan went directly outside and Jin knew he went full wild when he heard the howl as he ran towards the woods.

Akira turned the tv on to give Luna some sense of normalcy for when she awoke.

Collin rolled his eyes and went towards the full walled in library on the left side of the room. He didn't really want to read but he was bored.

Jin listened to her heartbeat with his vampiric hearing and sighed in relief when it had finally calmed and she was at peace. He noticed her eyes beginning to twitch as she entered R.E.M. sleep to dream.

I wonder what she will dream about...he thought.
