CHAN NEUL POV
Everything was pitch black and the only thing I heard was hushed whispers.
‘Our love will become eternity.’
‘Our love will become eternity.’
‘Our love will become eternity.’
A masculine voice rang in my ears and it got louder and louder each time.
I covered my ears with both of my hands and shut my eyes tightly as I felt lightheaded.
An image played in my mind.
I saw Baekhyun was being dragged by two, faceless creature...
What is that?
Baekhyun shouted something but I didn’t hears anything.
I gasped when I saw the next pieces of vision.
Someone stabbed Baekhyun.
Blood flowed out to the floor.
He gasped for air before he fell on his knees.
"CHAN NEUL!"
My eyes shot open and I was at another place.
Where is Baekhyun?
Was he alright?
"Do you want me to show you the real Baekhyun?" A familiar voice asked.
I knew he was smirking from the tone of his voice.
“Follow me.” He said.
I slowly walked through a tunnel-shaped way.
It was so small that I barely had any space left when walking through it.
I went into a room at the end of the tunnel.
I saw 12 men were busy ripping another body.
Red, that was what I saw.
Metallic blood, that was what I smell in this cramped room.
Ear-splitting scream filled the silence of the room.
One of the men turns their head and it's D.O.
appa…
T-The 12 of them were my guardian for years.
What are they doing?
Who are they?
What are they?
Tears filled my eyes.
All I’m sure about is that they were no angels.
"This is the real them, Chan Neul." The same voice said.
"Human soul is their food and blood is their drink." The voice added.
"This isn't them.." I shook my head.
"You didn't know them as much as I do. Do you think 14 years with you will changed them into a good person? No... One day, you'll become just like that poor guy." The voice replied.
"One day, you'll die in their hands."
"You'll die."
The voice kept playing in my mind and another vision flashed in my mind.
An image of me, screaming, crying while my angels ripped me apart, drinking my blood.
My eyes shot open and my whole body jerked.
I was already in the different place.
I checked my surroundings.
Cream wall. Teddy bear.
This is my bedroom and there was no one inside the room with me.
I went to the door and put my ear on it.
"Will she be fine?" D.O's asked.
"Honestly.. I don't know.” Lay replied. “The responsibility of her health isn't mine anymore, only Baekhyun know it.".
Why Baekhyun will know about my health and not Lay?
The doorknob twisted and both of them went inside my room.
They are shocked to see me standing and I am shocked to see them.
The three of us froze..
"D-don't come n-near me…" I said in cautious as I take a step backward from them.
I took a vase from the nightstand.
When they take a step forward, I threw the vase to the floor which made them took steps backwards.
I bend and took a pieces of shattered glass and hold it tightly as a weapon.
"Chan Neul, calm down..." Lay said as he slowly took a step forward while I took a step backward.
"You want me to calm down?! After what happen to me?! You lied to me! You're not angel!" I shouted as my grip on the glass tightened.
"Chan Neul, please hear us first." D.O begged.
His eyes pleaded.
“Why did you lie to me?” My voice cracked and I pushed open the window.
"Chan Neul, no!" Lay shouted because he know what I'm going to do.
Yes, I'm going to jump off from the window to escape from them.
Suddenly, the window shut in front of me.
Wind whoosh inside the room.
I turned my head and I saw Baekhyun walked towards me.
My knees weakened at the sight of him and I collapsed on the floor in kneeling position.
I lowered my head as I felt intense fear.
I'm so scared of Baekhyun.
So scared.
Baekhyun crouched down in front of me and my body shaking in fear.
"I-I.. I'll d-do e-everything y-you want-t .. P-please don't k-kill m-me.." I stuttered and lowered down myself more.
"Chan Neul..." Baekhyun said in soft voice but I became more scared.
"I'm sorry…" Baekhyun sighed and pulled me to his embrace.
I stiffened with his sudden action.
I was about to push him back, but my body didn't react like what I wanted.
Surprisingly, my body relaxed when he tightened the hug.
My hands unconsciously make its way to Baekhyun's back, to hug him.
"It works…" D.O said in amused tone and Lay nodded in agreement. "The mate thing works.."
Mate?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I didn't want to hug him.
I feared him.
But my body react as if Baekhyun controlled my body.
I snapped when I realized that I just hugged Baekhyun.
I pushed Baekhyun away and look straight into his eyes.
"What had you done to me?!" I asked Baekhyun in angry tone.
I remembered that Baekhyun sunk his fangs on my neck.
My hand immediately went towards my neck to check it.
No sign of it, not even a scar.
But I felt something beneath my neck.
As if Baekhyun left something on my flesh.
"Your hand is bleeding." Baekhyun pointed out, he took the pieces of glass from my hand gently while I averted my gaze.
My hands curled into fists out of frustration.
"You want to kill me right, Byun Baekhyun?" I asked sarcastically.
"You… All of you… are just using me for your next meal. I had been tricked by all of you for these 14 years!" I accused angrily.
"What made you think like that..." Baekhyun asked, his voice laced with hurt and betrayed.
"I saw you ripping a guy apart." I said and crossed my arms.
"That doesn't matter..." Baekhyun pulled me to the bathroom.
I saw D.O and Lay walked out from the room silently.
"Doesn't matter?!" I asked as I snorted loudly.
He kept his mouth shut and put my bleeding hand under the tap.
"Let me go!" I pulled my hand away but Baekhyun tightened his grip.
"Could you please listen to me once?!" Baekhyun growled and I becomes scared in instant.
It was not the first time that he shouted at me angrily like this but someone the feeling was different.
I felt hurt emotionally.
Baekhyun must have done something to my body.
I knew he did something.
I know he was the one who controlled my body and not me!
We got out from the bathroom and Baekhyun made me sit on the bed forcefully.
He took the first aid kit and treated my wound.
I shut my mouth and stared emptily.
I had no more energy to fight.
"Why are you so quiet?" Baekhyun spoke out as he wrapped my hand with bandage.
"Is it matter?" I asked in sarcasm.
"Chan Neul-" Baekhyun put his hand on top of me.
"I want D.O."
I made sure my voice sounded that I wanted nothing more with him.
"I'll call for him…" Baekhyun sighed and left the room, his shoulders hunched.
The door creaked open and D.O walked into my room.
He silently made his way to me and sat on the bed, across me.
We keep quiet for a few minutes.
None of us said a thing.
"Are you okay?" D.O spoke out.
"Should I be okay?" I fired back.
"I don't know that you could be this feisty..." D.O told in upset tone.
"Feisty?" I chuckled in sarcasm.
"None of you had been telling the truth. I couldn’t believe in you. Not again.” I told.
"You didn't ask, you didn't want to hear from us. You just try to run away..." D.O said softly.
“Are you saying that it’s my fault?” I lifted my chin.
D.O turned his head away.
"Why I felt like Baekhyun is controlling my body? My body didn't reacts like what I wanted when I’m with him.”
"It’s because you are Baekhyun's mate." D.O mumbled and I almost had a heart attack.
"What?!" I asked in louder voice.
Is this from a fan fiction that I had read last few days?
"Your scent changed and we saw Baekhyun's mark on your neck." D.O pointed out.
"But I didn't see anything and my scent is still the same…" I protested as I checked my neck again and nothing was there.
"Even though you don't want to believe it, you're still his mate. You’re bonded with him by now." D.O said and my eyes started to became teary.
I was very upset with myself.
If only I listen to Kai,
if only I didn't left the room, none of this will happened.
"I'm sorry.. Chan Neul.. If only I was much stronger that time.." D.O said in regret.
"How many hours since I asleep?" I asked.
"You had been asleep for a week which means 168 hours." D.O replied casually and my eyes widened.
"You recover earlier.. We're shocked to see you wake up today." D.O said.
"Shouldn't I wake up earlier?" I asked.
"Because you are human, you shouldn't had that strength to recover earlier." D.O explained.
"Talking about human.. What are you? Vampire? Wolf? Oh, an Alpha Wolf? Beta Wolf?" I asked non stop but D.O just stareed at me as if I said something nuts.
"What? Shouldn't I expected something like that?!" I asked in disbelief.
D.O open his mouth but I cut him off.
"Don't say that you're an angel, I'll smack you right away." I warned as I lifted my hand.
"You had become more violent since Baekhyun bite you. Did he transferred his violent energy to you?!" D.O murmured as he rubbed his temple.
"Second Baekhyun in the house is really a headache." D.O shook his head.
"Stop changing the topic!" I smacked his shoulder’s lightly.
"Ouch!" D.O whined and glared at me with his big, creepy eyes.
"I just smack you lightly." I exclaimed and D.O pressed his lips into a thin line.
"We are demons."
