Before the Dawn [8/?]
Title: Before the Dawn
Pairing: Onew x Minho
Rating: R
Summary: How do you love a person who isn't a person. How can you give someone your heart when they only want your soul.
fitAnger could not express the emotions running through Seungho’s body as he stared down at the unconscious human at his feet. His eyes snapped upwards, resting on Taemin who seemed to be happy with his deed. His body was a blur as he moved, backhanding the fledgling across the face as he let out a low growl. “Are you an idiot!”
The other vampires prowling around in the shadows, flinched from their master’s anger as if it was a physical blow. Taemin slowly stood up from where he’d fallen, wiping his mouth and spitting out a wad of blood. He could tell Seungho had held back when he hit him or he would have gotten a lot worse than a busted lip. He was confused, he had brought him the key to getting Jinki back and yet he was pissed off at him for it? Things were going far too slow for his liking, he needed things to fast forward. He had forever but Minho didn’t and he wanted the boy all to himself. His ruby eyes looked down at the human’s body, imagining how he would be if he was like Taemin, strong and immortal.
“I brought you Jinki’s obsession. He will come to you now.”
Seungho could feel the collective held breath from the masses. Taemin overstepped Seungho’s authority and they wanted to see how he would react. If he was lenient with him the others would revolt. His footsteps were quiet as he slowly walked forward, fingers curling around Taemin’s pale neck as he lifted him up and squeezed down hard. He could see the look of pleasure that flashed over the boy’s face before it became an emotionless mask. There was no controlling him anymore. He was a wild animal and had to be put down one way or another. It wasn’t a matter of how anymore but of when. Ideas flashed through his mind as he smirked and dropped Taemin down, bending down and stepping on the side of his head to hold him there.
“You’ve just dug your grave boy but I will let this play out for the time being. I want you to see the consequences of your actions as it consumes you from within.”

Something wasn’t right. Jinki furrowed his eyebrows as he stared into the mirror, trying to figure out where this sudden feeling of dread had come from. His reflection didn’t stare back at him like he was used to, it was sleeping, mouth open as loud snores came out. This wasn’t the source of the feeling he was having but what was? He patted his pocket for his cellphone and flipped it open right as he received a phone call from Jonghyun. His friend had forgetten he even lived and now he was calling him. Odd.
“Yeah Jonghy-“
“Jinki? Jinki! You have to get down here. I’m at this church and…it’s a bad scene man. Kibum told me this is where Minho said he was and we got here and…you’ll want to see this for yourself.”
The line went dead and a horrible feeling started to sink into Jinki’s stomach. He looked at his reflection and met the silver eyes dead on, could see the curiosity and readiness. “Not yet but I fear soon you will have your time.”
The reflection stood with Jinki, stretching and shaking his limbs free. Jinki always wondered why Onew seemed to have so much more energy than he did. It was the want for violence that did it no doubt. Always wanting to feel the blood of his victim running through his fingers. Sick. How could Jinki have let himself be that way for so long? It had been dark times during Minho’s reincarnations. Very dark times.
“You know who has him Jinki. The question is when you’re going to take him back.”
Jinki grabbed his jacket and wished Onew would stop meddling around in his personal thoughts. He did have a good idea of who did it. Who else would attack something precious to him like that. Seungho was going to pay for this, that much was certain for both of them.

Jonghyun tucked his phone away as he looked down at the dead body of the holy man. This had been Siwon. It was sad how such a great life could be stolen away in the blink of an eye. He let out a deep sigh, turning to look at Kibum. He could see the anguish in those human eyes, could see the hope that Minho had gotten away, had escaped whatever had done this. Jonghyun wasn’t so hopeful. He knew Minho was captured and would only be a matter of time until they found him. He only hoped he was alive and still human.
“Kibum…” The vampire turned and walked towards his consort, opening his arms as the blonde haired male flung himself into his body. Jonghyun was hard lines but comforting as he held Kibum tight, listening to his broken sobs as he cried against his shirt. Human emotion was such a destructive thing and yet could still be so beautiful. He turned his head as he watched Jinki fly up the stairs, slowing down and giving a small nod. Jonghyun nodded towards the room behind him and watched Jinki move inside to look at the body. He tucked Kibum under his chin, whispering softly to him.
“I’ll take you home. You’re going to go to your parents in the morning. I’m going to be busy helping Jinki now and I can’t have you in harm’s way.”
Kibum looked up and opened his mouth to protest but he stopped and swallowed his words. Jonghyun noticed he did that a lot more often now, listening and taking whatever the vampire said and going with it. It was an odd quality for the human, he knew, but it showed that he trusted him. Jonghyun pressed a soft kiss against his lips, feeling him lean into his body with a soft whimper. “I’ll be fine baby. I promise.”
It was cute watching the way Kibum’s nose wrinkled up as he protested being called baby but the warmth and love in his eyes were evident. He loved it, loved having Jonghyun there no matter what time of the day it was. They were inseparable now and he knew he could close his eyes at night and not have to worry about the creatures of the night coming for him. Is this what love was supposed to feel like? Jonghyun wasn’t sure but it was a nice feeling.
“Jinki I’ll be back later. Call me if you need me.”
There was no reply but Jonghyun knew he would need the time alone or should he say they’ll need the time. “Come on Kibum.”
***
Jinki looked down at the bed body, emotions reaching a boiling point inside of him. This was the last straw. He was glad Jonghyun had left with the human. He didn’t want anyone to see this, didn’t want to think about what he was going to do. “Onew. You have to get him back…kill them all if you must.”
There was a ripple through his subconscious as the other half of him slowly started to awaken. They had a deal and Jinki was keeping his half of it. He closed his eyes, feeling himself fall into a deep sleep as his body was handed over to the other. The next time he awakened he’d have Minho in his arms. He was sure of it. Onew was destructive but he kept his word. That was the one good thing about him, he never turned his back on his word. Funny how an animal could have honor as well.
Onew slowly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath as different scents infiltrated his nose. He didn’t take the time to enjoy that he was awake once again. He only had a small time frame to get this done with. He’d enjoy the killing he was promised. That would be enough of a party for him. He could smell Jinki’s human had been here for some time before this had happened. His cold eyes looked down at the dead body, leaning over and tasting a small drop of his blood. Whoever had did this didn’t come to feed, had done it viciously. He smirked slowly as he stood and headed down the stairs. A blood stain on the wall. This was Minho’s. It was fresh enough to mean it happened within the past day or so. The dead body showed it was some time yesterday after sunset.
He tapped his chin. Only fledgling and elders awoke directly at sunset. Other vampires tended to need another minute or so to finally awaken. He didn’t smell Seungho anywhere here so it meant it was a new one of his clan. Interesting. He hadn’t grappled with a fledgling in centuries. He left the building, intending to text Jonghyun to keep him off his tail long enough for him to find Seungho and confront him. Seungho didn’t want him, he wanted Jinki and they were two different people entirely. Though Onew had a taste for Seungho’s other half. He was a bitch, soft and gentle, someone Onew would enjoy pushing beyond their limits. There would be time for that later however.
First he had to find a clan member and give them a message.
***
Seungho looked up as he watched the maimed clan member being dragged into the warehouse by two of his friends. He rubbed his temple as he stood, listening to the man scream his head off. “What happened?”
The vampires were shivering as they handed Seungho the note that seemed to have been stabbed into his shoulder. His face went stony as he felt his pale face go paler. No. Jinki wouldn’t have allowed that maniac to take control again would he? He composed his face as he motioned for them to take the vampire away, crumbling the note up as he took a deep breath. This was Taemin’s doing. All of it. He brought this problem to them and now it would be him who cleaned it up.
He turned in search of the vampire, finding him lurking close by. “When he arrives I’m throwing him to you. You took his human and now he will have your head.” He threw the balled up piece of paper at him, walking off as he tried to find out a way to deal with this. Things weren’t going the way he’d planned because he let that damn teenager talk him into becoming a vampire. He was centuries old and he let himself be tricked by some punk? He would be laughed at if his master found out. But first, he would deal with the mess Taemin had made but how much time did he have before more shit got piled onto his plate.
From the look of that note not very long at all.
