Chapter 28:
After their schedule, Yoochun took Junsu’s hand. “I have to go,” he said to the group
Jae rolled his eyes. “I’m tired of your vampire shit.”
“Trust me, so am I.”
“I’m going to go shower,” Yunho said.
“I’m hungry,” Changmin said.
Yunho pulled out his wallet and handed him some money. “Go raid the vending machine, and then I’m sure Jaejoong will cook you dinner later.”
Jae smiled. “I’ll cook us all dinner if we ever manage to get home.”
“Okay, so I’m going to walk with Yoochun down to the lobby. Meet back right here in … what ten minutes?”
They all nodded.
“I’ll see you guys before dawn,” Yoochun said, and he and Junsu walked away.
Yunho kissed Jae’s lips. “Try not to become even more beautiful while I'm gone,” he whispered and meandered down the hall.
Changmin went the other way.
Jae fell against the wall. He pulled out his iPhone, popped in his earbuds and listened to his stash of The Werewolves music. He’d never listened to them before-he was a faerie, why would he?-but the other morning before Yunho had woken up, Jae downloaded them all. They weren’t that bad, and he loved watching Yunho dance.
He wasn’t really paying attention to anything, but the sudden presence of half-concealed light on his skin jerked him alert.
Heechul was a few hundred feet from him, smirking.
Jae ripped out the earbuds. “What do you want?”
“You,” Heechul said and stalked forward.
Jae rolled his eyes. “No thanks.”
Heechul’s smirk widened. “You’re saying no to sex with me, or are you just playing hard to get?”
“I’m saying no. Leave me alone.”
“Where’s your werewolf slut?”
Jae wasn’t sure if Heechul was calling Yunho a slut or him, but he didn’t care. His eyes narrowed. “If you’re only here to insult me or my friends, then save it. You’re a bastard, Heechul.”
Heechul laughed as he put his hands on either side of Jaejoong’s head and pinned him to the wall with his body.
Jae made a face. “You realize that now that you’ve touched them, I’m going to have to burn these clothes.”
Heechul tsked and shook his head. “What happened to you, Jaejoong? Why is the second prettiest flower in Korea wilting?”
“How is it possible for someone to be so arrogant?” Jae asked, letting pity drip in his voice.
“I deserve it. Just like you deserve it. You’re better than these friends of yours, and you know it.”
“I’m better than you.” Jae almost sang the line, but it made him smile. It was all so stupid.
Heechul kissed Jaejoong’s cheek.
Jae pushed him away by his shoulders. “Stop it. Now.”
“Oh, come on, you’ve been bugging me for years to fuck you. Well, I will. For you. To help you get over this ‘friends with other creatures’ bullshit.”
“It’s worse than that,” Jae said, leaning close enough that their lips almost touched. “The werewolf is fucking me.”
Heechul made a face and jerked away from Jae.
Jae laughed.
“You let … you’ve fallen further than we all thought.”
“The best part,” Jae said, with a grin, “is that you just touched me. And kissed my cheek where not five minutes ago, he kissed me.”
Heechul shivered. “You-“
Jae saw Heechul fingers move, but had no time to dodge or block the power. The nerves in his wings sizzled and he screamed. He fell to the floor. Jae gasped, vision blurry. He set Heechul’s pants on fire, but Heechul laughed and doused it. Jae threw up a barrier around him, weak, but still a barrier, as Heechul threw more spells at him and bits of blue lightning. Jae had to let some of them hit to keep his wings from another attack.
“Honestly, Jaejoong. If you’re not going to act like the faerie you are, then what’s the point of you being here?”
“Fuck off,” Jae said, through clenched teeth. “You can do whatever you want to me, Heechul, but that still doesn’t change the fact that your arrogance is your crutch. You’re not as pretty as you think you are, and that green shirt looks absolutely awful on you.”
Heechul snarled and threw his hands forward.
Jae heard someone call his name and then everything went black.
“Jaejoong! Jae!” Yunho pushed by the other faerie, slamming him into a wall, and fell to his knees. He pulled Jae’s body to his. “Jae! Jae!” He slapped Jae’s cheeks, trying to get a response. He checked to make sure Jae was breathing and then held his unresponsive body close. “What the fuck did you do to him, bastard?”
Heechul smirked. “What he deserved.” He turned around and walked away.
Yunho wanted to go after him, but he would not leave Jaejoong alone. God, Jaejoong. Yunho kissed his forehead.
“What the fuck?” Junsu said.
“Heechul, fucking … Fuck!”
“Oh my god.” Junsu ran down the hall. He fell to his knees and checked Jae’s breathing. The very edges of Jae’s wings were burning, smoldering red.
“We have to get him in the sun,” Junsu said. “He needs energy.”
“Dark outside, Su,” Yunho whimpered.
“What’s going on?” Changmin asked.
“Heechul attacked Jaejoong,” Junsu said.
“Fuck.”
Yunho took Jaejoong’s phone. He scrolled through the contacts until he found Ueda’s name, and he pressed call.
“Jae, baby!”
“This is Yunho. We … fuck, Heechul did something to Jae and he’s not conscious.”
“Woah. Calm down. Is he breathing?”
“Yes. Junsu says he needs sunlight.”
“Fuck, that bad?”
“Yeah, I guess, I don’t know, he’s … he won’t wake up and he’s …”
Someone took the phone from his hands, and then another voice was talking.
“Jae, please. Jae.” Yunho held him tightly.
Changmin kneeled next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. “He’s not dead, hyung. He’ll be alright.”
Junsu ended the call. “Okay. Ueda is going to meet us at our place. Let’s go.”
Yunho picked Jae up and carried him down the hall.
v-v
Yoochun approached the warehouse cautiously. He sniffed the air and made sure the only vampires he could sense were his own.
His. He hated that.
He made sure the power blocks were on the rest of them and then slowly lowered a bit of Eunhyuk’s so the other could open the door for him.
But again Yoochun waited, in the shadows. After another ten minutes, he decided he was being paranoid and he went into the warehouse.
“Yoochun!”
Yoochun immediately braced himself, but felt no animosity as Eunhyuk was suddenly wrapped around him, face buried in his neck. He was shaking.
“God, please please please tell me you’re our clan leader again, please. God, please.”
Yoochun chuckled. “Yeah. I am.”
“Thank god! Lexy was a crazy bitch.”
Yoochun sighed. He pushed Eunhyuk away. “God, I thought you were dead.”
Eunhyuk nodded.
There were whimpers from the other vampires in the room, and Yoochun tightened his hold on them. Three of them were starving. Their heartbeats were so fast, and they were panting.
Fuck.
Yoochun sighed and sent a mental link to Junsu. Junsu’s brain was chaotic with worry. How had Yoochun not felt that?
What’s wrong?
Heechul attacked Jaejoong.
Fuck. Is he okay?
No. Ueda is coming over though. God, what about you? You’re freaking out.
I have three vampires about to die on me. Can I share your blood?
Yes. Thanks for asking.
Let me know if anything else happens. I didn’t realize I had myself blocked off again. I need to harness this power.
Yeah, you’ll get it. I love you.
I love you.
“How much blood do you have?” Yoochun asked Eunhyuk.
He shrugged. “Some.”
Yoochun held his wrist up. “Take more. Help me feed them.”
Eunhyuk looked confused for only a moment and then sank his fangs into Yoochun’s wrist.
Fuck. Three of the male vampires were less than two months old. Another female was barely over a year. Two other females had been newbies when Yoochun had been chased from the clan, and the other two males were like Eunhyuk. Not old, and not strong, but old enough to control themselves.
Yoochun pulled his wrist away.
“Holy shit, Yoochun, how do you have elf blood?” Eunhyuk’s eyes were shut in bliss.
“My lover. Come on. You take those two.”
Eunhyuk looked scared.
Yoochun slapped his shoulder. “I have them under tight control, Eunhyuk. Trust me. If I hadn’t they’d already ripped us to pieces.”
Eunhyuk nodded and moved to a girl and a guy. He gave the girl a soft smile. Yoochun held his wrists against the lips of two guys. They only felt like they were a few days old. Yoochun jumped into their minds. The one on his left was named Kibum. The one on his right barely looked eighteen. His name was Minho. Both were terrified. Yoochun sent calming waves at them, mentally introduced himself and then showed them how to contact him if they needed him. By the time Minho dropped from his wrist, breath gasping, Yoochun had delved into and learned all about both their families. Kibum reluctantly pulled away.
The boy Eunhyuk had been feeding crawled to the other two and they curled up together. Jonghyun was his name.
“They’re so young,” Yoochun muttered.
Eunhyuk nodded.
“This is ridiculous. What the fuck?”
Eunhyuk winced. “Well. We were ordered to turn ‘em all rogue, but that bitch kept killing everyone and well, we’re not very good at turning humans, I mean, shit, Yoochun, I’m only thirty-five, so some of them became vamps, and-“
Yoochun waved him silent. He turned his attention to the girl.
“This is Cerinity,” Eunhyuk said. “She was my first mistake.”
She slapped Eunhyuk’s shoulder. “Stop introducing me as that,” she said with a grin.
And Yoochun added in his head that they were a couple.
“How old are you?” Yoochun asked. “Vampire age, I mean.”
“Fourteen months,” she said.
“Great.”
Yoochun turned to the two others who had been loyal to him at one point in time. He released the hold on their minds and they took a collective breath.
“What the hell, Yoochun?” Sungmin asked, rubbing his head. Sungmin was only a few years older than Eunhyuk, and the other-Kibum-was a few years younger.
“Shut up,” Kibum said, quiet. “You’d have done the same if you weren’t sure of loyalties.”
“True.”
“So?” Yoochun asked, arms crossed.
Kibum shrugged. “Ding dong, the bitch is dead.”
Yoochun laughed. He stepped closer and pulled each into a hug.
He turned to the remaining vampires, two girls. Soonli and Yuri. Both had been friends with Lexy and Tsuki.
“Well,” he demanded. “Any reason why I shouldn’t kill you both?”
Soonli winced.
Yuri shrugged. “None that matter,” she said. “We followed her willingly, but like Eunhyuk said, she went crazy.”
“I want all of you to understand that I have no fucking desire to be here right now.”
Kibum scoffed. “Comforting.”
“I don’t. I never wanted to be a clan leader. Right now, time is strapped, and I’m incredibly stressed out and pissed off. I’m part of a singing group about a week away from debuting. Three nights ago I was almost dinner for all those fabulous rogues you guys turned, and two nights ago, I watched Yamapi take Lexy’s head off with his katana.”
“Shit,” Sungmin said.
“Fuck,” Yoochun said. “I seriously have no options but to kill you all.”
“What?” Eunhyuk said in disbelief.
Yoochun looked down and sighed. “It’s hard enough to take care of one newbie and I have four of them.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m going to have to register you guys.”
“Fuck, what? Why?” Sungmin demanded. Being registered meant less freedom, more persecution, and less of a chance to get work. But it also meant the blood lady came by with jars of animal blood every week.
“If I don’t, how are you going to get enough blood for these four, huh? I don’t have time for this.”
Yoochun through briefly of contacting Jun but knew better. He was already indebted to Jun, and Jun would want a power transfer. But he wanted to keep his clan a secret, but he had no way of doing that and keeping them alive. He was going to have to register them. Yoochun scoffed. He looked over at the new kids, still staring at him in awe, and then at the others. “Two Kibums?”
“We call the kid Key,” Kibum said. “Still confusing, but only less so.”
Yoochun nodded. “Who is this building registered to?” Yoochun asked.
Eunhyuk shrugged. “I don’t know. I figured it was Lexy’s.”
“No. It’s just listed as abandoned,” Yoochun said.
He needed help, but he had no idea who else could do it, besides Jun. He’d been out of vampire circles for too long.
He pulled out his phone, and reluctantly dialed a number.
“Yoochun?”
“Hey, Dani. Rhetorical question.”
“Liar. Okay.”
“Can you transfer clan members without doing a full power transfer?”
“Why? Did Lexy have clan members?”
“It’s rhetorical, Daniela. Just answer the question.”
“Yes. But only the Counsel can do it.”
“Fuck.”
“I want to see you. Are you busy?”
“Yes. What’s up?”
“Not over the phone, but you may have more rhetorical questions once I talk to you.”
“Can you meet me on the roof of my building an hour before dawn?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll see you then.”
“See you.”
Yoochun hung up.
Eunhyuk grinned. “It’s so cool that you can just call the Matriarch like that.”
Yoochun waved a hand at him and then he sighed. “This is a huge fucking mess. Are there beds here? Anything other than this empty space?”
“No.”
Yoochun nodded. “Alright. In that case.” He sent them all visual directions to his estate. He never thought he’d need the place, but Yamapi was right. Keep it. Just in case.
“Cool,” Sungmin said.
“All of you go. Now. Even with the newbies, you should be there before dawn. If not, well, then I don’t have to worry about you anymore.”
“Funny,” Eunhyuk said.
“You three, be Lieutenants for me. I’ll be there sometime tomorrow night to feed the newbies again. There is a freezer in the basement full of frozen blood. It’s been there for about fifty years, but it will work. Give them a couple of blocks when you get there, just to keep them sated.”
Eunhyuk, Sungmin and Kibum nodded.
He turned to the two girls. “I’ve put behavioral commands into your heads. I still don’t trust you, but I’m not going to kill you unless you make me. I don’t want to register you, but if I have to, I will. Don’t trash my place. This isn’t a vacation. Let’s go. I need to get home and sleep for at least a little while.”
Chapter 29:Heechul really did a number on him.
Chapter 27: The thought of leaving Junsu made his heart ache.
Chapter 26: I shouldn’t have ever let it go.
Chapter 25: Doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Chapter 24: How many old jealous lovers of yours are going to be making your life difficult?
Chapter 23: “If someone doesn’t kill me first.”
Chapter 22: We need some sunshine up on the roof.
Chapter 21: Try not to be so fucking smart okay?

“Great.”
Yoochun turned to the two others who had been loyal to him at one point in time. He released the hold on their minds and they took a collective breath.
“What the hell, Yoochun?” Sungmin asked, rubbing his head. Sungmin was only a few years older than Eunhyuk, and the other-Kibum-was a few years younger.

Yoochun waved a hand at him and then he sighed. “This is a huge fucking mess. Are there beds here? Anything other than this empty space?”
“No.”
Yoochun nodded. “Alright. In that case.” He sent them all visual directions to his estate. He never thought he’d need the place, but Yamapi was right. Keep it. Just in case.
“Cool,” Sungmin said.
“All of you go. Now. Even with the newbies, you should be there before dawn. If not, well, then I don’t have to worry about you anymore.”
“Funny,” Eunhyuk said.
“You three, be Lieutenants for me. I’ll be there sometime tomorrow night to feed the newbies again. There is a freezer in the basement full of frozen blood. It’s been there for about fifty years, but it will work. Give them a couple of blocks when you get there, just to keep them sated.”
Eunhyuk, Sungmin and Kibum nodded.
He turned to the two girls. “I’ve put behavioral commands into your heads. I still don’t trust you, but I’m not going to kill you unless you make me. I don’t want to register you, but if I have to, I will. Don’t trash my place. This isn’t a vacation. Let’s go. I need to get home and sleep for at least a little while.”
