A world awakened: Chapter 2 part 3
Cahpter 2 Part 3
“I’m scared of what he could mean.” Leeteuk interjected.
“What about the other one?”
“He should be here soon.”
Arching his brow Donghee turned to cleanse the need, “He’s coming here?”
“I know he smelled the blood.”
“From that distance?”
“He’s powerful.”
“More powerful than that one?” Donghee asked, indicating to his back room.
Shaking his head Leeteuk looked up uncertainly. “I don’t know.”
“You’re playing with fire my friend.” Donghee stated softly.
“I understand that.” Leeteuk stated simply.
“Do you?” Donghee asked softly, zipping the bag he listened to the soft patter of feet as they drew near. “Do you really?”
Entering hesitantly Donghae looked at them uncertainly. “I wasn’t sure what to get, so I just grabbed some stuff.”
“That’s fine.” Donghee gestured towards the other. “Take them and go shower.” He stated simply, pushing the material towards Leeteuk. “Put that away while you’re at it. I’ll look after the kid.”
“I have a name.” Donghae replied irritably.
Blinking Donghee looked at him in surprise. “I didn’t say you didn’t.”
“You keep calling me kid.” He supplied sullenly, ignoring Leeteuk’s chuckle as he gathered the material.
“I suppose you do. And what is this name of yours?”
“His name is Lee, Lee Donghae.” Came a chilly voice. “And he’s my keeper.”
Turning towards the voice Donghae flinched at the crimson eyes that regarded him contemptuously.
“That was rather fast. Leeteuk replied drily, regarding the slender finger that lounged against the frame.
“What’s the knife for little one?” Donghee asked casually, hand straying underneath the table.
“It’s not for you old man.” Eunhyuk’s voice slithered over them whilst he languidly cleaned his nails.
“Then there is no need for it to be drawn.” Came the stony reply.
“Fair enough.” Eunhyuk shrugged, smirking slightly. “You can let go of the gun, had I wanted you dead you would have been a long time ago.” He added, casually seething the blade at his side.
“I’m going to go shower.” Leeteuk replied tiredly, turning towards the door.
“He almost got you this time.”
Turning Leeteuk looked at him incredulously. “What did you say?”
“I can smell it and I can see it.” Eunhyuk stated simply.
“You’re being absurd.”
“Am I? Eunhyuk laughed, eyes roving the stitches contemptuously. “I can smell your fear.”
“Any normal person would be afraid.” Leeteuk scoffed.
“Not a nine tailed fox.”
Eyes straying to look at Donghae Leeteuk’s jaw set. “We aren’t having this conversation here.”
“Why not?” Eunhyuk sneered. “Afraid you’ll scare him?”
“I’m not scared.” Donghae glared defiantly.
“Yes you are fool.” Eunhyuk sneered. “You are so, but with every right.”
“Hyukjae.” Leeteuk warned voice hard.
“I can smell him.” Eunhyuk sneered. “Why was he here?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Leeteuk ground.
Blinking Eunhyuk tilted his head, smirk playing about his features. “So that’s why you brought him here.”
“What?” Donghae asked uncertainly.
Eyes narrowing dangerously Eunhyuk pushed himself from the wall, sauntering towards the kitsune. “What games are you playing this time old man?” he asked, voice low and dangerous.
“I’m not playing any games.” Leeteuk challenged.
“But they are playing you.” He sneered.
“What is going on?” Donghae all but pleaded.
“What is going on?” Eunhyuk sneered, cold laughter filling the room. “That seems to be you’re new personal motto.”
“Well if someone would tell me what the hell is going on I wouldn’t have to ask!”
“Go ahead Jungsu.” He laughed coldly, “Tell him.”
Glaring angrily Leeteuk refused to talk, silently warning the other to shut up.
“Fine then,” Eunhyuk laughed harshly. “Seems like I’m the only one willing to tell him anything anyhow.”
“Don’t do it kid.” Donghee warned. “Leeteuk has a reason for what he does.”
“Sure the selfish bastard does.” Eunhyuk hissed, glaring momentarily at the man before looking back at Donghae. “You really want to know what’s going on?” he asked snidely.
Nodding dumbly Donghae watched Leeteuk’s lips purse angrily as Donghee sank to his chair in defeat. “Yes.”
“You’ve been marked for death.” Eunhyuk retorted.
“What?” Donghae whispered in horror.
“You’ve been marked for death.”
“How do you know?” he whispered in disbelief.
“Kangin, the Fenrir, he’s been hunting you.” Eunhyuk shrugged apathetically.
“But why?” he whispered in horror.
“That would be why our good ole friend Jungsu here brought you to the centaur over there.” He spat, jabbing his thumb towards Donghee.
“Watch your manners brat.” Donghee warned.
Rolling his eyes Eunhyuk looked back at Donghae skeptically before he looked back to Leeteuk. “Question is, whether or not the selfish bastard intended to tell you anything.”
“He doesn’t need to know.” Leeteuk interjected angrily.
“Oh,” Eunhyuk asked, brow arching in challenge. “And when does he need to know? Hmmm? When he’ dead?”
“He isn’t going to die.” Leeteuk interjected, watching the others face pale visibly.
“Oh yes, yes he is.” Came the definite reply
“I won’t let that happen.” Leeteuk ground bitterly
Grinning wolfishly Eunhyuk looked at him indifferently. “I give him a fortnight.”
“Are you threatening to harm him?” Leeteuk asked incredulously.
“Unless he comes near me, no.” Eunhyuk scoffed, “But I’m not what you need to worry about, am I?”
“Stop this kid.” Donghee interjected sternly.
“Stop what?” Eunhyuk scoffed. “Stop telling the truth?”
“Stop scaring him.” Donghee glared.
“He needs to be scared!” Eunhyuk interjected. “He’s a baby playing in a man’s world! They are going to destroy him! And all do to this fool’s pride!”
“Watch your tongue!” Donghee interjected, voice rumbling through the hut. Closing his mouth Eunhyuk stopped talking, glaring at the other.
“I will keep him alive.” Leeteuk’s voice softly vowed.
“You can barely keep yourself alive.” Eunhyuk scoffed.
“But we are alive aren’t we?” Leeteuk objected, looking to the terrified youth. “And in the end that’s all that matters.”
“For how long?” Came Donghae’s weak reply.
“Say again?” Leeteuk asked apprehensively.
“For how long can you guarantee I can stay alive?”
“That is why you have come to me.” Donghee stated calmly. “More specifically, been brought to me.”
“What?” he sked incredulously.
“The centaur is a seer.” Eunhyuk scoffed.
“Of some things.” Came the simple reply. “But now is not the time.” Looking at Eunhyuk he nodded to the door. “I need some mint, be a good child and go get me some.”
“Unless,” he interjected, seeing the other begin to object. “You would much rather leave.”
Narrowing to slits Eunhyuk glared at him before turning to saunter outside muttering darkly under his breath.
Shaking his head Donghee looked at Leeteuk, brow raised in question. “Not raising him to show many manners are we?”
“He’s still very angry.” Leeteuk sighed softly.
“That anger can become all consuming.” Donghee advised wisely.
“I can’t fix it when it’s directed at me.” Leeteuk sighed softly. “He still blames me you know.”
“Yes I know.” Donghee replied simply glancing over to Donghae. “But you aren’t going to solve anything sitting here bleeding in my kitchen. You alright lad?” he asked Donghae curiously.
Dumbly Donghae turned to look at him, nodding tentatively.
“Good.” Donghee nodded, turning to give Leeteuk a stern gaze.
“Yeah, yeah I’m going.” He sighed, pulling himself to his feet. “You will wait till I return?”
“If you wish.” He stated simply, handing a tea kettle to Donghae. “For now I think some tea will do us all some good. Fill this with water like a good lad and put it on the stove will you?” he instructed.
Nodding Donghae moved slowly to the sink, the concept of his own impending death looming over him imperviously.
Glancing out the window the centaur shook his head thoughtfully. “I’ll be back.” He stated, pulling a tin of tea from a cuboard.
Stepping outside he stood next to the stiffened boy.
“What is it?” he asked softly.
Gripping the mint leaves Eunhyuk’s eyes simmered like liquid gold. “He’s out there.”
“I know.” Donghee stated simply, “But what has you on edge? I could sense it in the house.”
“He’s not alone.” Eunhyuk responded, eyes scanning the wooden area.
“Who is with him?”
“He brought the Laestrygonians.”
Shuddering Donghee felt a chill steal over his flesh. “Is that all?”
Fangs baring dangerously Eunhyuk snarled threateningly at the subtle crack of a branch beneath feet.
“Well they can’t cross the border.” The centaur stated matter of factly, placing a calming hand on the boys shoulder.
Looking over at him Eunhyuk’s eyes shimmered softly. “They are waiting.”
“For the boy?”
“For us all.” He intoned coldly.
