Here's part 24. I'm so sorry for the delay. I'm sure most of you will know why if you've read my previous normal LJ entries. However, if not...i've had a trapped nerve in my spine and have been unable to move my entire left side. Amongst family problems...this is the main reason i haven't posted anything...because i simply couldnt write. But...now this is done, I can focus on my requests. However...Progress will be slow. I'm not completely healed yet.

Part: 24 of ?
“SIWON-AH!?” Hankyung had barely started towel drying his hair in the bathroom mirror, having finally been allowed to shower and change in peace away from Siwon's lingering eyes and hands, when the scream of his room-mates name had echoed throughout the floor, the soft growl to the vocals, despite the volume, indicating it was Yesung who was shouting. Rushing from the en-suite, Hankyung barely caught sight of Siwon's body slamming out of the bedroom door before his own careered after it, panic rising as he neared the common room, the distant sounds of smashes and yells now reaching his lower ranged ears, a yell of his own rising in his throat as a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist and tugged him backwards away from the doorway as he'd reached for the door handle.
“Hyung! Calm down it's only me.” Donghae hissed quickly as the human span round, seemingly ready to slam his fist into his face. “Sorry, I had to stop you, it's not safe for you in there.”
“W-What's going on?” Hankyung questioned, stammering slightly as he tried to calm himself down and stop stressing over the fact he almost smacked Donghae, momentarily annoyed at the fact the smaller male never learned when it came to getting his attention.
“I don't know exactly, I've only just got back myself, but I know the feeling.” Donghae stated, causing Hankyung to frown in confusion. “You wont be able to, still being human, but the power from that room is just...unimaginable and it only means one thing.” he continued, arms curling almost nervously around Hankyung's right bicep as if to seek some form of comfort.
“And that would be?” Hankyung coaxed, giving Donghae's hands a gentle pat.
“A pure blood's lost it.” Donghae explained, Hankyung unable to miss the shiver that ran through Donghae's system as he finished. “There is a reason why Siwon-ah scares me so much. Pure blood's are basically pure Vampiric power, nothing human in them to 'dilute' their abilities, we are really explosive creatures, but pure bloods are terrifying.”
“Really? What's so...terrifying about them? I know the bit about pure blood's, and I know about your rather volatile personalities, but I've yet to see what's so different between say, Siwon-ah and Yesung-ah.” Hankyung replied, before his frown deepened as Donghae merely shook his head and dragged Hankyung across towards the very doorway he'd prevented him from going through and pushed it open, hands tightening around Hankyung's arm so the human wouldn't be able to step inside the room.
As Hankyung gazed into the common room, the Chinese male felt his eyes widen at the sight in front of him, when he'd first heard the crashes and yells he'd assumed someone was fighting or had chased Yesung and Ryeowook back to the dorms, however, as he surveyed the room, Hankyung found his previous assumptions being crushed as he watched Yesung, Siwon and an unknown male with long black braids struggle to keep a grip on Ryeowook's thrashing form. The small pure blood in question was snarling, fangs flashing, fingernails attempting to claw at his captor's skin, his irises burning such a bright blue they were almost white, the three substantially larger men finding it increasingly difficult to keep a hold on the bony arms and waist.
“Donghae Hyung!” Siwon exclaimed, feet slipping backwards slightly as he tried to keep himself upright. “Keep Hankyung Hyung out of here! He's human, in this state Ryeowook-ah won't think twice about going for him.” Yet before Donghae could reply, he quickly pulled Hankyung out the way as Ryeowook suddenly snapped round, Yesung losing his grip on his partner's waist giving the pure blood the extra movement he needed to send the male Hankyung didn't know backwards into the wall with a loud thud, Siwon now having to dig his heels into the flooring to prevent himself from being sent into the wall over the younger male's head, before he yelled in shock as Ryeowook's now free hand swiped across his face, nails slicing into his flesh with little effort. Hankyung watched in horror as Ryeowook's incredibly slender and small frame constantly knocked Siwon's own bulkier version backwards, closer and closer to the windows, free nails slashing, slicing and digging into the pale skin until the leader's arms, face and neck were a cross-hatch of blooded scratches.
“Siwon-ah! Try and grab his other wrist, I'm going to have to sedate him, we can't reason with him in this state!” The braided male stated, Donghae whispering hastily against Hankyung's ear informing him that he was one of the other two elders, causing Siwon to wince, before nodding, removing his grip from around the one wrist and quickly snatching the other as it took another swipe at him, his frame shifting quicker now he had to spread his attention to both wrists.
“Hurry up!” Siwon snapped in response, turning slightly to slam his foot against the wall as some form of leverage, until the Elder had wrapped his arms around Ryeowook's neck causing the small pure blood to choke, pushing something unseen to Hankyung's eyes into the nape of his hair, not loosening his grip until Ryeowook keened in pain lightly before slumping forward unconscious against his hold.
“What the hell was that?!” Hankyung hissed in horror as the elder let go of Ryeowook, Siwon easily catching the falling form before he lifted him onto the sofa, ignoring the rivulets of blood that still trailed down his skin, the deepest on his cheek starting to turn black.
“That's why Siwon-ah scares me.” Donghae hissed in his ear as Siwon waved Hankyung's question away for a moment as he focused on healing himself at the elder Vampire's orders. “Imagine how you just saw Wookie-yah, but times it by at least three. And that's what Siwon's like when he loses it.”
“Yoochun-sshi, What brought this on?” Siwon questioned turning his attention up towards the male who was now stood re-adjusting his braids, frowning as he realised the injured male wasn't healing as easily as he should have been.
“It seems that when Kangta decided to kill Junsu-yah, he felt the need to somehow get into the house and leave a wonderful message for Ryeowook-ah, and as Yesung-ah explained to me at the house before Ryeowook-ah lost it, he hasn't been very open about his emotions lately, hasn't actually appeared to have mourned yet properly and the message tipped him over the edge.” Yoochun explained with a sigh as he sat down, before turning his attention back to Siwon once more. “It seems Kangta had a hand in killing Hyesu-yah not long after Wookie-yah was born, killed Junsu-yah, and seems likely to try and claim the full set.” Yoochun added with a small nod at the still unconscious form.
“Hyesu?” Hankyung queried softly to Donghae who was still clutching at him despite the fact he was no longer in need of protecting.
“Hyesu-sshi was Wookie-yah's mother, she died not long after giving birth to him, but the birth wasn't connected to her death, it's been a mystery for years as to how she died. We all assumed she fell to the pure blood curse.” Donghae hissed back, Siwon turning his attention to the pair at the mention of the curse.
“It's a blood condition, undetectable, unpreventable, and unstoppable. Every single pure blood is at risk from it, it's not even sure where it came from, yet Pure Blood's blood cells can overcompensate themselves trying to contain all their power and explode. Its normal for one or two to do this ever so often, however certain factors can affect it and cause them all to explode at once.” He explained before Hankyung could open his mouth to question just what the curse was. “It's rare but it's devastated pure blood families for years. My Grand Father died of it actually. He was under a lot of stress with the family, war, the death of my Grand Mother and my Auntie and so much more that most people didn't even know about till after he'd died.”
“It sounds awful.” Hankyung gulped, hand clutching at his throat slightly as he winced at the mental image the explanation gave him. “But...that's not what killed her?”
“It very well could be, but it seems likely that if she did, Kangta did something to bring it on.” Yoochun replied after pausing to glance at Siwon to silently question who the new member of the group was before he answered the Chinese male's question at the mental collection of images Siwon sent in response. “It's hard to explain, the only vampire's who ever really get the full information on the curse are those at risk, those like Yesung-ah etc. only get basis information to help them should someone in their group be a pure blood and under a lot of problems.”
“They were gone three days, what took them so long?” Donghae questioned, directing his question to Yoochun when he realised Yesung was no longer in the room.
“It seems my messages hadn't been getting through to here, so they'd turned up at the main house when I'd changed to meet at the Kim household, and then I'd sent a message to cancel the meeting because of the destruction, and they never got it.” Yoochun explained frowning as he realised the same thing as the young Vampire.
“I think I know two people who are probably the reason behind that.” Siwon muttered darkly before he turned to look at Hankyung with a small smile, despite the fact his face was marred by three blackened scars still trying to heal, beckoning the shaken male over to sit with him. “Yoochun-sshi, have you heard anything about my Father's plans at all?”
“Well, all we have managed to determine is that when Kangta killed Su-yah, he didn't just kill him, he drained him...and then decided to go feed all the little ones his blood.” Yoochun spat, face darkening slightly in fury. “I don't think they want to recruit you all any more, if anything they'll either want your power, or just to keep you out of the way, permanently.” he added, watching curiously as Hankyung's hands tightened around Siwon's own at the final implication of his words.
“How the hell did all this happen?” Siwon sighed heavily, curling his arm further round Hankyung's waist, pressing a small kiss to the male's forehead as he spoke. “One minute everything was...as normal as it could ever be...the next my group falls apart, then the entire clan is in pieces.”
“To be honest Siwon-ah, we've been expecting something like this ever since you're Appa became our Personal Advisor. Jaejoong Hyung spotted the greed in his eyes the moment he stepped in front of us, and the envy and disgust as you rose in our favour.” Yoochun replied with a mirroring sigh of his own. “It's nothing to do with you, or your pretty human there. Your Appa is just a power hungry idiot who needs a sharp blade to the head.”
“Does Ryeowook-ah know who it was who killed his Father?” Siwon queried turning his vision towards the still comatose male, wincing slightly at the Elder Vampire's words.
“No. I didn't tell him any names, and I'd prefer it to stay that way, at such an unstable mindset he'd be prone to doing something stupid.” Yoochun explained, smiling sympathetically as Siwon nodded in agreement, anything else the pair had been about to say cut off as the door was flung open and Kyuhyun burst in, blond hair stuck up at odd angles, games controller still clutched in his hand as he ground to a halt against the sofa back, controller flailing wildly as he panicked.
“Yesung Hyung's gone! Along with all his weapons!”
----------------------------------------------
“Good evening Sungmin-ah.” Leeteuk breathed as he stepped into the shadowed bedroom that had become a permanent resting place for the unconscious male, quickly shuffling over to the chair positioned beside the headboard. Ever since he had returned from recovering himself some months ago, Leeteuk had realised that the younger blond seemed to respond to his presence more then any of his brothers or Alpha and had taken the task upon himself to sit everyday for a few hours just talking away to Sungmin as if the male was actually having a discussion with him, his heart swelling happily everyday as Sungmin seemed to twitch or shift more and more with each passing day. “Well we've had a bit of a hectic week here, you would have had a field day with all the drama and gossip.”
Slipping backwards so he was relaxed into the chair, Leeteuk carefully pulled his ponytail out of it's grip and allowed his long strands at the nape of his neck to flutter out across his shoulders, smiling lightly as the soft rays of dying sunlight crept through the cracks in the blinds and filtered across his face, eyes slipping closed as he enjoyed the warmth for a moment before he turned back to the still body on the bed beside him, eyes darkening in sorrow as he took in the paler then normal skin shimmering slightly from the small layer of sweat causing Leeteuk to growl in annoyance. The young cub had broken into a fever a few days ago and Siwon had assured him that was a good thing, it was the male's body beginning to respond and start fighting the last traces of silver out instead of just leaving the compound to flush it out of his system.
“Aish~ those boys.” Leeteuk grumbled to himself as he shuffled into the en-suite bathroom and grabbed a wash cloth, quickly dampening it before he returned to his cub's side, still muttering under his breath. “I trust those boys to look after you and they don't even keep you cool.” Leaning across, Leeteuk gently cleaned the perspiration away from Sungmin's cheekbones, before pulling the duvet covers down to his waist to allow some air to his body, frowning at the scars still visible across the male's bare chest.
“Umma? Are you in here?” at the call, Leeteuk turned away from where he was now carefully trying to cool the younger male's chest down, only to find Eunhyuk and Henry peering curiously round the doorway.
“Hello my babies.” Leeteuk sang, watching amusedly as Eunhyuk merely rolled his eyes at the name, whilst Henry bounced happily, eyes narrowing into happy slits as he waved back. “Did you need me for something?”
“Do you need any help?” Eunhyuk queried ignoring Leeteuk's own question and supplying his own, Henry pushing the door open further, causing the Alpha Female to tilt his head amusedly as he noticed the red head's arm curled around Henry's form, anchoring him in place.
“No thank you Eunhyuk-ah, I'll ask again, did you want me for anything?” Leeteuk replied with another smile, watching amused as Eunhyuk tugged Henry back once more, the youngster struggling and snapping at his pack brother's arms. “Why have you got a hold of Henry-yah?”
“He wont stay still, Kangin Appa said he spends far too much time with you and is too dependant on you and it's dangerous for both of you. So he wants Henry-yah to spend more time with us all.” Eunhyuk explained. “However, Henry-yah seems insistent to come and find you despite Appa's words. So I thought I'd come with him.” he added with a small sigh, Leeteuk smiling slightly despite himself at the fact Eunhyuk was one of the few remaining cubs who called him and Kangin 'Umma' and 'Appa' even though he was not one of the youngsters.
“It's alright, you can let go of him. I'm sure you have better things to do then prevent Henry-yah from coming to find me?” Leeteuk queried.
“Actually I don't. Donghae-yah is off at his family home with some...leader person who's name I can't remember, began with an C.” Eunhyuk replied, face scrunched slightly as he waved the elder's query away.
“Changmin-sshi?” Leeteuk replied instantly without thinking, not realising what he'd done till Eunhyuk peered curiously at him and questioned how he knew their names. “I talk to Siwon-sshi remember. I hear a lot from him.”
“Oh...fair enough. So, how is Minnie Hyung doing?” Eunhyuk enquired, finally letting go of Henry who smiled and happily bounced over to Leeteuk's side. The red head watching as Leeteuk pushed Henry onto the seat he had originally occupied, before leaning down and wrapping his arms under Sungmin's back and raised him upright and against his chest, motioning for Henry to pass him the hairbrush from the bedside table as he got comfortable.
“He's not too bad, responding more and more, and his fever is breaking more so hopefully he'll wake up soon.” Leeteuk answered, smiling as Henry handed him the hairbrush he'd asked for and he began to gently drag it through the blond mass of curls that had accumulated through lack of care atop Sungmin's head. “How's things with Donghae-sshi anyway? I heard Hannie-yah dragged the pair of you out to talk.”
“Oh good.” Eunhyuk smiled, before his eyes turned wistful at the mention of the small vampire. “Yes he did, he'd talked to Donghae-yah and had somehow managed to help him come to a conclusion about how he feels and what he wanted to do.”
“And? That is?” Leeteuk pressed, lips twitching as he tried to contain a smirk as Eunhyuk blushed lightly.
“He likes me. And...we've agreed to give it a shot despite the fact we're both likely to be killed.” the red head replied, blinking slightly as Leeteuk suddenly flew at him and wrapped his arms around his back, Eunhyuk unsure as to how the elder male had managed to set Sungmin back down and move across to him in such a short time. “He's just...terrified that some thing is going to happen. Whether to him by me, or to me by him...or to the pair of us.”
“Don't worry baby. Umma will stand by you.” Leeteuk stated against his temple, smiling lightly as Eunhyuk broke off mid sentence and wrapped his arms round his waist so tight the elder could feel his ribs creaking. “The pair of you are going to face hell, but you're both strong people and you'll be fine if you remain focused on your relationship. Trust me. That can give you the strength to face anything.”
“Thanks Umma.” Eunhyuk breathed clearly fighting back his emotions, before the pair almost jumped as the dormitory door slammed open and Kangin's barking vocals echoed through the floor. “Oh God he'll kill me if he sees me and Henry-yah with you after telling me to keep Henry-yah away.”
“Go. Don't worry, I won't tell.” Leeteuk smiled, before watching as Eunhyuk nodded and grabbed Henry's hand and dragged the smaller male out of the room and down the corridor to his own room, Leeteuk moving to sit back in his seat as Kangin peered into the room curiously.
“Ah, here you are. Any improvements?” Kangin questioned leaning down and wrapping his arms around Leeteuk's shoulders from behind, pressing a small kiss to the exposed ear shell by his lips.
“Not so much, although I'm going to have to teach you boys about looking after people! His fever's broken and no one's been cleaning him up and his hair's a mess!” Leeteuk replied, shrugging Kangin off as the Alpha went to press kisses up his neckline. “My poor baby will be horrified when he wakes up and sees what state he's in.”
“I'll have a word with Shindong-ah. Where's Eunhyuk-ah?” Kangin queried, sniffing curiously at the lingering scent of the pups.
“In his room with Henry-yah.” Leeteuk stated before frowning as the Alpha merely nodded before getting up and walking out of the room without another word. “Aish~ honestly Sungmin-ah. These boy's are driving me insane.”
Getting up once more, Leeteuk made his way over to the dressing table and peered curiously into the vanity mirror, prodding the small circles beneath his eyes with his fingertips before moving to tug at his locks of blond hair cascading over his shoulders. The recent drama's had taken their toll on his appearance, whether it was attempting to keep the peace, being on tenterhooks for his dongsaeng's safety and being unable to openly do so, keeping an eye on Hankyung and Sungmin and all his other pups under his care, keeping up with his school work or full moons, Leeteuk always had something more important then sleep and the affects were clearly starting to take affect.
“Aish~ Minnie-yah, I look a mess.” Leeteuk murmured, not really paying attention to the small shuffle over his shoulder as silence descended once more, the werewolf clearly responding in his comatose state to his voice like always. “You're brother's are such a handful. Eunhyuk-ah's absolutely smitten with his little mate, he's all grown up, makes me feel rather old...but rather proud at the same time.” he continued pulling his hair back into a ponytail once more as he continued. “Well...I'm proud of all of you, you're my children. I just wish I could openly be proud of all the people I care about. He's grown so much, and I never get the chance to tell him how proud I am of him. He handles everything so well.”
Turning away from the mirror, Leeteuk moved off towards the window and peered curiously out into the twilight tones, just in time to see Siwon and Hankyung stroll past his vision, muttering quietly about something, hands clasped gently together, looking every part the stereotypical love-bird couple.
“They had so much drama lately, Yesung-sshi only just got found you know, even though he disappeared a few days ago. He hadn't gotten anywhere before Siwon-ah found him. I'm worried for them all, I fear we may be pulled into this battle one way or another, but I can't face watching him as well as you lot fight.” Leeteuk continued before more rustling caused him to frown, realising Sungmin was a lot more reactive tonight then normal, turning on his heel to face the bed before all but shrieking in shock as he found blinking chocolate orbs peering hazily across at him, fingers clawing at the bed covers in an attempt to reach him.
“Su-Sungmin-ah!?”
