CHAPTER 13

Is power the root of evil?

As the black mist solidified, all supernaturals fell into utter surprise.

"Aw, you're all gathered to plot against me. I'm touched."

"Sooman." Hyunsik hissed under his breath. Twice, Got7, BTS, Jennie and Lisa were all on high alert. But of course, the stubborn girl named Lalice just won't back down.

Lisa threw a ball of fire towards Sooman to the surprise of everyone. The figure dissolved as fire simmered but immediately reappeared. The old man grinned and turned towards her.

"Oh, who do we have here?" Sooman hovered towards her but Jungkook immediately shielded her together woth the rest of BTS. "I see you have bloodsuckers on your side seeing as you are one yourself. But don't worry, I cannot hurt you even if I want to. Same as you cannot touch me or kill me."

"What do you want, Sooman," the elder Jinyoung said on gritted teeth.

"Nothing much. Just making a quick delivery."

Then, a black mist suddenly appeared again solidifying not one but three figures lying down on the floor. Loud gasps echoed within the hall.

On the floor lay the lifeless bodies of Minzy, Jia and Jessica.

"This is just the beginning of the war, old friends. I will be back sooner than you think."

And just like that, Sooman disappeared.

"We need to mask ourselves. We have to remove our scents and change our appearances so that it would be harder for him to track us."

Namjoon paced back and forth the living room.

"Lis, is there any spell we could use to protect the pent from intruders? And something that can mask our scents? Something that can make us untrackable?"

Taehyung leaned to whisper on my ear. "He's really stressed. Is untrackable even a word?"

"Chill, Joon," Jennie said. "Lisa and I already put up a shield in the whole building. No demon or any other supernatural can enter without permission. Or if they have evil thoughts against us."

"I also made protection circles on all entrance and exit points of this pent."

"Good. Good. How about us being untrackable?"

I opened my spell book and recited an ancient encantation. Protection circles hovered in the air and one by one, clung on to the boys' bodies.

Somi on the other hand left to seek for more help. She said that Sooman can't track her down since she's surrounded by illusions. She's close with Wannaone and Nue'st so she'll start from there.

"It says here that this would only last a week. So we'll have to still be cautious. I'll just remake it again when the symbol starts to vanish."

"How about the Sirens?" Jimin suddenly said.

"We already taught Rosé the encantation over the phone. She already used it with the Sirens and wolves. Jisoo did the same with iKon and Winner."

"Does this mean we can go outside freely now?" Hoseok asked. Jennie and I nodded.

"We really do have to go out. We have to change our appearance so that we wouldn't be seen that easily."

"Blonde, pink and mint shouts for attention. We all need to color our hair brown or black." Namjoon suggested. "Jin and I will be the only ones to leave. All of you should stay here until we get back with the dye."

"There's food in the ref. Just heat it in the microwave if you guys get hungry," motherly Jin instructed before leaving the pent with Namjoon and Yoongi.

"They're like our mother and father," Jennie said. "Yoongi's the elderly grandpa."

"They worry about us, unnie. It's natural," I explained.

"Chill, Lis." Jennie's look softened. "I wasn't tryna be sassy. It was a genuine thought. I'm greatful, actually. I kinda miss Jackson and Mark, actually. They took good care of me. Bambam, Younjae, Jinyoung and Yugyeom are nice companies too. Too bad their leader's a total dck."

And now it was back to her rbf.

"But you're kinda right about Yoongi oppa, though." That made her chuckle.

I then felt an arm snake around my waist and a kiss landed on my cheek. Jennie rolled her eyes.

"Please. No PDA in front of me. You guys make me sick." She then went in to her room--Yoongi and Hoseok's room to be exact. They now have three beds inside.

"Seriously, Kook?"

He chuckled. "I like teasing your sister. And I love kissing you."

I rolled my eyes but smiled nonetheless. This bunny of mine, jinja.

"What haircolor would fit me better, Kook? Black or brown?"

We sat by the couch. I was leaning on his body as his arm was around my shoulders while playing with my hair. I was scanning my spellbook.

"Any color would suit you."

"I'm simply asking you to choose between two colors, Jungkook. Now choose." I glared at him.

"B-Brown. I think brown would be great."

I smiled. "Brown it is."

His phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? Yup, she's here. Sure." Jungkook looked at me then handed me his phone. "Chanyeol."

"Hello?"

"Hey doll. Rosie wants to talk with you."

"Lis?"

"Yea?"

"Vampires can't get pregnant, right?"

My eyebrows furrowed. "Since our bodies are frozen, we can't get pregnant."

"But can vampires get someone pregnant? I mean, if a male vampire and a different girl supernatural or a human girl have s*x, would it be possible for them to produce an offspring?"

She was rambling.

"Honestly, I don't know, Rosie. But there can be a possibility since the vampire's male and won't be carrying the baby. But I haven't heard about something like that."

"Me neither..."

"Why do you ask?"

"Remember when I used to use water to play around and use it tell whether we're sick or something?"

"Yea? What about it?"

"I kinda checked on all of us girls and I saw something very peculiar."

"Wait wait wait. Are you saying that--"

Jennie suddenly ran out of the room towards the kitchen sink. She vomitted.

"Holy shit."

"Lis? Was that?"

"Jennie unnie."

"Oh my God. Channie! We have to go to the vamps as soon as possible!"

Then the call was dropped. I looked over to Jungkook who was clueless as of the moment then quickly went towards Jennie.

"Unnie, are you okay?"

"Yea. Maybe it was just something I ate--" the vomitting continued. "God! What was in that sandwich?!"

"Unnie... I don't think it's the sandwich..."

Jennie looked at Lisa confused. 

Lisa opened her mouth 

to tell her sister.

A glass dropped on the floor.

"Tell me this is a joke. This is a fcking joke--"

"We'll know soon, Unnie. Ee just need to be patient and wait for the result."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"It'll be done in a minute. We just have to be patient."

Jennie paced back and forth inside the bathroom as her sisters--Lisa and Rosé, stood in front of the small apparatus. The door suddenly slammed open.

"I came as soon as I heard!" It was Jisoo. Jennie immediately hugged the eldest. "Is there any result yet?"

Rosé turned towards her sister. "Not yet--"

"It's here! It's here!"

The four girls crowded that single spot by the counter. Jennie grabbed it. Her hands were shaking.

"T-Two lines... what d-does two lines mean?" She stuttered.

Lisa grabbed the empty box and checked the instructions. "It means positive, unnie. It means you are pregnant."

Jennie's legs felt weak as she dropped the pregnancy test kit. It was a good thing Jisoo caught her.

"Jen? Jen? It will be alright. We're here. We'll help you go through--"

"H-How is it even possible? It hasn't even been days since I first had... oh my god. This can't be happening. This ain't possible--"

Lisa hugged her sister tightly. Trying her best to comfort her.

"It's gonna be fine unnie. We'll be there for you--"

"You don't understand, Lisa! There's a war coming. I can't be pregnant right now! What if something bad happens to the baby?! What if I--"

The door slammed open and the girls immediately looked. Yoongi moved swiftly beside Jennie.

"Is it true? You're pregnant?" He asked. Jennie slowly nodded then tears started to pool from her eyes. He pulled her closer and calmed her. "It will be fine, Jen. Shh. Stop crying..."

"This is all your fault Min Yoongi! I hate you!" Jennie started to punch Yoongi on his chest as she cries. "I shouldn't have trusted you! I shouldn't have let you--"

"I-It's mine?" Yoongi was in shock.

Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo wanted to punch the living daylight out of the guy but he really did look genuinely clueless.

"Whoelse, pabo?! You took my virginity!"

"But I... Vampires can't reproduce. Are you sure--"

"You think I have s*x with just anyone?! You think I'm a person with loose morals?!" The slap Jennie give Yoongi was heard even from outside the restroom. "Fck you, Min Yoongi. I've been in love with way before you and Nayeon even met. Even before I went to Beulping. But you're as insensitive as you'll ever be!"

"But you were with Namjoon back then and you always pick a fight with me--"

"Namjoon offered to help me get over you when you dated Nayeon. But it didn't help. That's why I went to Wayji and became an apprentice. Then I entered Beulping."

Jisoo moved closer to Jennie as Lisa held her hand.

"I hate you more than ever, Min Yoongi," the witch said glaring at the vampire. "And now, there's only a slim chance to none that my child will be born because of this stupid war that's coming."

Jennie started to walk out of the restroom where the vamps plus Chanyeol, Suho, Bobby and Mino were eavesdropping.

Yoongi caught her arm which made her pivot toward him. He pulled her closer and caught her waist making their faces an inch away from each other.

"I am in love with you, Jennie Kim. But you always pushed me away." He sighed. Tears started to fall from his eyes. A rare sight for everyone who knows him. "Mianhe. I'm sorry I didn't try hard enough to stay. I know I'm just giving out excuses to justify what I did. But I swear, I am in love with you. I always was and I always will be. Do you know how much it hurt when you left and entered Wayji?"

Jennie looked up and met Yoongi's eyes. His hand gently touched her face.

"That night. That night you came here. It was the happiest I've ever been. That's why I wasn't able to help myself and kicked Hoseok out of the room."

"He literally kicked me, I swear," Hoseok whispered from the door. Yoongi glared at him.

"And look where it got us," Jennie whined. Yoongi couldn't help but smile. Though he was confused as to how it happened--and thinking only two days have literally passed, he was happy. "The baby. If it's really in me, there's a war coming. There's literally no chance we'd survive--"

"I will protect you and the baby, Jen. I will. I swear it with my life." Yoongi gently kissed Jennie's forehead.

JUNGKOOK

As the tension subsided. Everyone gathered by the living room. We were all shocked with what just happened and there are tons of questions in our heads.

"So... do any of you guys know how I knocked up Jennie?" Yoongi asked us all straight.

"Well, all I know is that the reason why vampires cant procreate is that the woman's body is frozen and that the baby inside wouldn't be able to grow," Lisa explained. "I don't know about guys though."

"I haven't heard of such thing either," Suho said. "Werewolves can since we're not 100% immortal."

"I have zero idea too," Bobby said. "But I think I know someone who can help us with this."

"Who?" Jennie asked.

"Psy. He's the witch who made the immortal elixir. He's been alive since the first great war," Mino answered for Bobby.

"Psy? The one who owns Gangnam Style? The most popular dance club in Korea?"

"Yup. The one and only."

Yoongi and Jennie looked at each other then back at Bobby.

"Can he really give an answer about what's happening here?" Jennie asked. "I mean, he's a witch. Shouldn't we ask a vampire or something?"

"I agree with Jen. How would a witch know what just happened?" Yoongi seconded.

"He's the closest one we got," Namjoon spoke. "Elder vampires lives in Italy. I guess if this Psy guy is immortal, he lived the same time elder vampires did. And of course, met tons of supernaturals too. So it wouldn't hurt if we try, right?"

"Yeah. And the sooner we know what we're dealing with, the better," Jin continued. "If we have more informatiom regarding Jennie's condition, we get to properly protect her in the war. And besides, we might get some information on how to defeat Sooman along the way."

"Yes!" Hoseok stood up and stretched. "It's been a while since I last went to a club. Maybe I can get some few dances while we're at it."

"And some chicks, too!" Jimin suggested.

"Are we all going?" Jisoo asked. "Wouldn't we grab too much attention? We're too many!"

"Sooman can be out there lurking in the shadows, Jisoo," Mino said. "The more protectors you have, the better. We wouldn't want any of you to end up like--"

"Fine fine. So, shall we go?"

"Hold up gorgeous," Jin suddenly said. "You're not going to the club wearing that."

"Wae? What's wrong with my dress?" Jisoo asked. Jin grinned.

"There's nothing wrong about it. It's pretty. But it doesn't scream girl-crush. You'd be kicked out of the club the minute you step foot in it."

Jin grabbed a magazine by the coffee table. I was amazed at how he had these type of magazines. Vogue? Elle? Harper's Bazaar? Good lord.

"These. Were clothes like these."

The four girls gathered to look at the picture. I too, took a peak.

"Hell no! My wife ain't wearing that--"

Lisa swayed her hand and suddenly, no voice came out of my mout. I glared at her. She winked.

It's a good thing I love you...

"Daebak, I didn't know you knew about these things," Jisoo commented as she zapped the clothes on her. Jennie, Rosé and Lisa did the same.

"Just one of the small things that makes me amazing." Jin winked at Jisoo and her blush did not escape my sight.

Lisa zapped different kinds of clothes on us and grinned.

"Kaja! Let's blow this popsicle stand."

ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ

The war hasn't even begun

Yet another conflict arises

Can we survive this?
