𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒

Your eyes flutter open, and you jolt up on instinct. Your hands touch upon damp wet leaves, and you shudder momentarily.

𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢?

"𝐅𝐮𝐂𝐤..." you breath, on realizing every fiber of your body ached on attempting to move. Despite the pain, you got up.

A cool breeze swept through your hair and skin freely, and the sound of faint rustling of leaves danced along the air.

Even your field of vision was blurry. You wince through the foggy darkness, the moon being your only source of light. You urge your feet to carry on walking, mustering up all the little of last strength you had in you.

𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑛'𝑡 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑢𝑝 𝑛𝑜𝑤

After what seemed like forever, you gave a gasp of triumph. After a tiresome walk through the forest, you had finally come across a house, or something more like a mansion, and it seemed it was inhabited.

𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕

𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞...Jungkook thought sniffing, his teeth bared into sharp fangs.

They all felt it. The 𝑺𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 smell of 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃..something they all yearned for 𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲. Their sense of smell and 𝐛l𝐨o𝐝𝐥u𝐬t had come to such an extent, they'd be able to differentiate between an animal and human a mile away.

Not often did a human come this deep into the depths of the forest, at this time of the night.

And it was coming closer.

𝐓aehyung licked his lips. Finally...something other than deer blood tonight. Not a word was spoken among the seven, and the tension accumulating in the room made them growl lightly.

"Gᴜʏs....Cᴀʟᴍ ᴅᴏᴡɴ" Jin spoke lowly, the one usually in most control in these types of nights. "ᴡᴇ ɴᴇᴇᴅ...ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ.."

"𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐦 𝐢𝐭, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝..." Jmin breathed, clenching his fists so tight his knuckles turned white.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐎𝐕

You pace up your walking, eager to find some shelter and rest. Your mind was so hazy and blank, you couldn't recall any of the events before you woke up here.

A 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑙 went down your 𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑒, and 𝑓𝑒𝑎𝑟 began circulating around your system. It finally hit 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮? 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞?

"𝐘/𝐍" you told yourself calmly. At least you remembered your name.

You stared at the huge 𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑟 in front of you,

various 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑠 racing through your mind.

maybe this was all a 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚...it sure didn't feel

like 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦.

Your finger's traced along the huge wooden door as it creaked, feeling for any type of bell. To your surprise, it was open. You stepped inside, and a few candles flickered in the dark.

You cleared your throat, signalling your entrance.

And when your eyes had finally adjusted to the lighting, you saw it.

𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐧 spaced around the room look up as if they've been waiting and grit their animal-like teeth, eyeing you up and down with hooded eyes.

Your breath is sucked in an inaudible gasp as you remain on the spot, speechless.

𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝒇𝑢𝒄𝑘? 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙?

You stare intently, incomprehensing, and your eyes widened. The sight of thesepeculiar alluring men just waiting for you invaded your senses overwhelmingly.

"𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜? 𝐴𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑔𝑢𝑦𝑠 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔?" You ask, undeterred. One of them let out a soft 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 chuckle.

"𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘? 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒇 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏?" a man with skin as white as 𝐒u𝐠a spoke up.

You 𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑡 your head in a gesture of comprehension, and finally notice it too. They all look as if they're holding themselves back, resisting their temptations. You gulp harshly, as one of the figures walk towards you.

His teeth are bared in an animal like grin, and you realize just how perfectly his features are sculpted.

"𝐓aehyung...𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒆" 𝐍amjoon warned, as 𝐇oseok growled in agreement.

He stops finally when you're as close as 1𝐜𝐦 apart, and with a spine chilling, single minded intensity he is staring you down, eyes turning 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 in malice.

His 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 form a 𝒍azy smirk, and he raises his fingers...

𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘...

And the candle light diminishes.

𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠...

You try to steady your breathing as a few growls around you ring in your ears.

"𝐻-h-ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑔𝑢𝑦𝑠, 𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼 𝑔𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑎 𝑔𝑜-" I stutter, fumbling around in the 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤....

Where the hell the door is?

A hand slithers round my waist, thrusting me backwards into a pair of arms.

"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒚 dark 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝐊 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝐂?" the smooth voice inquires.

"𝑊ℎ-𝑦?"

"𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆...𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝐂 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤" he chuckles, his fingers tracing along my jaw.

"𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑗𝑜𝑘𝑒, 𝐽𝑖𝑛 ℎ𝑦𝑢𝑛𝑔" Jimin scoffs, who also seemed nearby. A small hand suddenly grabbed my wrist, pulling me into their embrace.

"You know.." he whispered, the heat of his breath washing over my ear. "something's is wrong with my teeth....they keep bickering bout' your neck".....girl you are damm gorgeous"...... he licked it gently, before another set of hands pulled me away.

*this is ridiculous...am I some sort of pass the parcel?*

"𝐻𝑒𝑦 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙... 𝐼'𝑚 𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑠 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑎 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑙 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑠~" the voice chimed, sniffing the exposed part of my shoulder

"pffft" another voice scoffs. "listen pretty girl, I'm not tryna show off but i turn into an animal in bed . Like literally"

"𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒- 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒 𝐼 𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑛'𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑒-"

"Ah, she'sright. Let's get it over with then, huh? " Hoseok licked his lips.

"Man's thirsty" Yoongi states in agreement, as his footsteps trod along the marble floor.

At this point, even through the darkness I sensed I was centered, enveloped inside a circle of vampires. And they wanted my blood.

In all but a split second, two fangs protruded menacingly out of one their mouths, penetrating through my skin like daggers.

I yelped in pain, as a warm substance trickled

down onto my shoulders.

"Not fair " Jungkook growled, licking the blood that oozed out. "I wanna bite first"

Taehyung grinned against my skin. "..do you believe in love at first bite?"

"owwwhhhhhh" I whined.

A few droplets of tears formed in my eyes, and I stood there defenseless, allowing them each to take a taste of my blood....

Their thirst had been quenched, and they had not resisted their temptations. They returned to their senses and forms, and guilt seeped through them immediately on viewing the outcome.

"Shit" Yoongi sighed in regret, looking down at your lifeless body. "I should've not drank who needs blood when you got swag?"

"Is she...DEAD?" the 95z liners exclaimed in unison, looking down in horror.

"No.....! Even after we made an oath to never drink blood again ..." Jin shook his head.

Meanwhile, I lay on the ground, not daring

to move a muscle. I listened in astonishment

and wondered if these really were the same

people from before.

Were they thick in the head or something? Did they really think I'd die after a little bite on the shoulder?

Namjoon watched you cautiously, something bothering him. He tapped his foot on the ground anxiously.

"You noticed it too, huh hyung?" Jungkook said beside him.

"noticed what?" the others inquired.

"Can-t you guys feel it?" Namjoon retracted his hand back and forth, his eyes gleaming with energy. "the blood, it tasted different. Deliciously sexy, but unusual. Doesn't your body feel lighter? Stronger?"

The members flexed their shoulders back and forth and began an whole exercising session. "Woooo!" Hoseok yelled in delight. "You are right! I feel like Anpanman!"

"And also..." Jungkook added, feeling for my pulse. " When are you going to stop pretending to be dead ?"

Shit......I mentally cursed. exposed.

I opened one eye and found myself looking up to some surprised faces. Frowning, I sit up abruptly. " Wat's up with you guys?"

"Rather, what's up with you?" Namjoon retaliates, voice piercing through the room like a knife. "not many survive a bite from seven, let alone be this casual and comfortable around a bunch of vampires who almost killed you.... What's your deal?" he stared deeply into my eyes.

" Maybe I'm that special minority" I stated, staring back with just as much intensity. They all watched and listened in amusement.

"No.. I see it in your eye's" he mutters, curiosity brimming in his eyes. "You're no human...What and who exactly are you......?"
