Chapter Seven
I walked into my room and instantly sat down on the floor in front of my mirror. I found my makeup wipes and began to wipe off all the left over makeup from yesterday. It wasn't much, just eyeshadow and eyeliner and mascara. I didn't really bother wearing much makeup.
I brushed my hair so that it would go up into a ponytail without looking so messy and knotted. I threw my hair up into a high pony tail so that it was out of my face as much as possible. I picked out my gym leggings that were just plain black with a white tank top that had some random logo on it. I found a cute black sports bra that would go with the tank top as well. Honestly I don't know why I owned this, but when you've been alive for 180 years, you just collect whatever you see in hope that you might need it one day.
I put on the outfit and looked at myself in the mirror. I did look like someone who went to the gym often even though I think I've been twice in an effort to get "fit" even though I always ended up giving up. I don't think anyone would let me give up this time.
I Looked over my face, making sure that nothing looked different. People said that there was a glow or something like that when someone had bonded, but honesty I couldn't see anything and I didn't think I would. It just sounded like how people talk about humans when they are pregnant. To be honest, humans got it easy with pregnancy, they had the chance of getting pregnant every month, whereas vampires only have a chance once a year. Also their pregnancies last 9 months whereas ours last 1 year and a half. I mean that's why there isn't as many vampires, it isn't worth the hassle.
I picked up a black hoodie that I could just throw on and put on my trainers before leaving my room again. The sports and activities building was next to this one so it wasn't like I had to walk far, which was good considering I had no idea what was in stall for me.
I walked into the building and followed through different hallways before finding where the gym was. I know I had been here before, but that was probably years ago. I think going to the gym was probably a good idea for me.
I finally walked in and saw that the gym wasn't that full, I think most of the people had left as I was walking to find whereabouts this was. I looked around the gym trying to find either Jimin or Yoongi, I couldn't see them anywhere. I continued to look until I saw Jimin doing chin ups while Yoongi just sat there rolling his eyes over Jimin showing off.
"What are you doing?" I asked and sat down next to Yoongi on the bench in front of Jimin.
"I'm proving that I can do 50 chin ups" Jimin said in between pulling himself up.
"48, 49, 50" Jimin said each time before dropping down and beginning to almost dance over how happy he was for proving what he could do, before getting his water and drinking it.
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked, assuming that I wasn't here to just watch Jimin and Yoongi argue over who's better at different exercises.
"Well since the only thing you can really do is run, we thought it would be best to help you build up your muscles aswell" Yoongi said and stood up, I stood up too as myself and Jimin followed him into the middle of the gym.
"Before we do anything you need to warm up so that there is less of a chance of hurting yourself and it makes things a bit easier" Jimin smiled at me and pulled me over to a treadmill.
"I would say this is a pulse raiser but we barely have pulses" Jimin laughed and started the treadmill up and made me get on it.
I started running slowly on it and gradually increasing the speed on it, the speed didn't bother me. I was a fast runner, I always had been. I remember when I was younger, playing with Jin, Tae, Jimin and Yoongi during the summer and I was in a flowery dress, chasing after the boys after Yoongi stole my head band. Even then I could catch up with them despite how much older they were.
"Do you remember when I stole your head band and you nearly killed me when we were so much younger?" Yoongi asked and laughed over the memory, Jimin started laughing as well as he remembered that day.
"I was just thinking about that" I laughed, Jimin began to slow the machine down so that I could get off of it.
They began to perform different types of stretches and told me to copy them, which I did even though I was pretty sure I probably looked like a complete idiot, but hey, they were the experts.
After we were finally done with all the different stretches, I was brought over to various different equipment and was shown how to use them. I was finally brought over to the last one.
"So this helps with the back and chest muscles" Jimin said and sat down on the machine and began demonstrating before I followed.
"So I have to do this most mornings?" I asked whilst using the machine. I could tell I was going to ache the next night.
"Yes, me and Yoongi will be here for the next few mornings to make sure you're doing it right, then you can do it by yourself. Anyway, Jin's in here every morning so you can keep him company" Jimin smiled and began to walk away with Yoongi as I finished 12 reps.
"I need to go, I'm on life guard duty today. Good luck" Yoongi laughed, he always liked that duty because he just got to sit there and make sure no one drowned for the day.
We finished up the gym session with a cool down since apparently that was going to stop me from aching. Although I highly doubted that.
"Okay, so I'm going to be teaching you defence, while Yoongi teaches you attack" Jimin smiled as we entered a smaller room, no one was in it.
"Is this where you are going to be every time?" I asked and noticed the dim lighting.
"Yeah, it's easier since no one uses this room and it's quiet here" he said and smiled at me to make me feel more comfortable.
"So you're showing me how to defend myself?" I asked leaned against the wall as I watch him set up a mat on the floor. I was becoming seriously confused, why did we need a mat?
"Yup" he said and took off his hoodie, he had a tank top on too although he looked alot better in his, he always wears tank tops when he was at work.
"Although I'm going to teach you this, hopefully you won't have to be in a situation where you have to use any of this and if you are, I'd suggest you run" He laughed, Tae had always told me that if I was confronted by any form of danger to just run, because it was likely that I could out run them.
I walked over to the centre of the room in front of Jimin preparing for what was about to happen. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Have you ever learnt how to fight?" Jimin asked and scratched the back of his head.
"Yes and no, I mean I've had enough fights with Tae that I don't think I'm a complete failure" I said and Jimin laughed and nodded, knowing that I was right considering he was there enough times.
"Alright, try and throw a punch at me" Jimin said seriously and got ready for me to punch. I nodded and tried to throw a punch, I knew it wasn't a good punch but it was still a punch. Jimin suddenly dodged it and ran behind me.
"You have to watch out for the signs that someone's about to punch" he said and I nodded, trying to look like I was paying as much attention as possible since he was acting professional. Although, I couldn't help but find it funny considering I was so used to him messing around.
"Watch out for my feet, most people take a step just before they punch" he said and signalled for me to look down. I looked up at his face and down at his shoes, waiting for him to make a move. Once he did I just ran to the side.
"Good, but you're best trying to get behind them. It buys you more time" he stated and I nodded and got ready to do it again. This time I managed to get behind Jimin.
"See you're fast, so you can use it to your advantage. Once you get behind them, you should kick behind their knees, they should fall to the floor, meaning you can either get away or you can attack again" he smiled, I was impressed that I was getting this so fast.
We continued to repeat the steps for quite a long time, changing how fast or slow the attacks were coming. Jimin also showed me different signs of attack apart from the feet, including fists, shoulders and their stance. We continued to do this and change the different ways of attack for at least an hour. It wasn't too serious though, neither of us could help but laugh and make this a much lighter situation.
"Come on we need to meet the others for dinner" Jimin said and picked up his things and threw his arm around me as we exited the room. No one was really about, probably because they were also going to eat dinner too. We always met before lunch since we always ate it together. Mum always sat with the higher authoritied people within our group. I hope Tae still sits with us even if he becomes one of them.
We walked out of the building and towards the main building. I saw the girl that Jimin seemed to like in the distance with a couple of her friends. I saw Jimin noticed her and she noticed him. I mentally rolled my eyes knowing that they wouldn't interact. They walked past each other trying not to look at eachother but stealing glances.
"Why don't you just talk to her? Do you even know her name?" I whispered to him after they past.
"Of course I know her name, it's Holly. I don't need to talk to her" he defended himself and looked slightly annoyed. Problem is, since I'd bonded, it pains me more to see that he won't let himself talk to her because I know he knows that that is what happens and that's why he won't talk to her.
"No because you'll bond with her if you do" I said quietly, I knew he still heard me though since he lowered his head and sighed.
"I'm nervous, I don't know what it'll be like or what will happen to me" he admitted, it hurt me to see him like that, so confused. It hurt me even more since I had recently experienced it and knew I could help. But I can't tell him, or anyone about Namjoon.
"You should talk to her and let it happen because the more you don't, the more its going to hurt you and it hurts me to see you like that" I said and smiled sadly as I looked at the pain he was in. He smiled back at me and nodded in agreement.
We continued to walk into the building, I saw Tae ahead of us entering the canteen and shouting something to Jin and Yoongi who were clearly already in there. We followed behind Tae and saw that mine and Jimins food was already there. I swear I never had to get food for myself these days.
"You two look like a couple with the matching tank tops" Jin laughed as we walked in together side by side. I just rolled my eyes and sat next to Tae and Jimin sat opposite me next to Jin.
"Our tank tops are different anyway" I said and rolled my eyes at Jin.
"How was the meeting?" I asked Tae who was drinking from the large cup of blood.
"It was good, I mean the topic wasn't great" he said and lowered his voice so that no one else could hear us. I looked at him closely, his expression should annoyance.
"What happened?" Jin asked quietly, all of us clearly wanted to know what had happened to make him look like that.
"Quarter Moon as always" Taehyung said, his voice had become bitter.
"Of course it fucking is" Yoongi said and leaned back as he waited for Tae to explain what happened. I saw Jin looked up at him for cursing, but he didn't say anything.
"They have been going to different groups near here and quite far out, in order to look for the lost princess, but now they have started taking some of the girls that are around the same age. Wanting to interrogate them incase they are hiding" he said and looked towards me scarcely. I looked down and gulped.
"Alexa is around the same age as the lost princess" Jin commented, and they all looked towards me and I looked back up at them.
"Are they coming back here?" Jimin asked and placed his hand over mine.
"They are also using those that they take as way of trying to agree to pledge alliance with them" Tae said and looked down at the table, you could see how worried he is getting.
"We are the last ones" Yoongi just said bluntly and nodded, you could see the anger building up inside him.
"What?" Jimin asked, me and him seemed to be a bit lost over what Yoongi was talking about. The others seemed to understand.
"They came to us before, but didn't do anything to us. They wanted to get to the other groups before us because they know we are the ones they need" Jin explained, me and Jimin both looked at eachother as we both finally understood.
"Why can't they just get over themselves and leave us all alone. They aren't going to find the lost princess, if she was smart enough, she'd have left as soon as she realised she'd be in danger" I said out of anger. Taehyung looked at me, his eyes looked pained and worried.
"Look I'm going to get changed, I'll meet you in about 15 minutes" I said to Jin and downed the blood before storming out of the canteen.
I walked into my room and laid on my bed. I wanted to scream, to shout out to them that I was the one they needed, not all those girls that were being taken. I knew that I couldn't because if they had me, knew about me they could take over and that was worse.
I opened my window and let the fresh air in, in a hope to calm myself down. I walked over to my mirror like I was going to give myself a speech on how to calm down, but in reality I just looked at how my cheeks had become red from the rage that had built up. I saw that my hair had become a complete mess from training I had done throughout the day.
I pulled my hair out from the ponytail it had been in and let it fall down my back. I walked over to my draws and picked out an oversized hoodie, along with a pair of black tracky bottoms. I didn't see any point in dressing nicely, I was just going to meet with Jin and probably see the others again before lazing about elsewhere.
I placed the hood of my goodie over my head and left my room, shutting the door behind. I followed through to the library that was on the other side of the building. I saw Jin sat at one of the tables with a book out. I walked over to him and sat in the chair in front of him.
"You actually came, I was worried you wouldnt" he said and smiled kindly at me.
"I came, and I dressed up for it" I said and looked down at my outfit, laughing slightly at how I looked.
"Alright, so I thought we'd start by looking at the royal line considering that seems to be a pretty hefty topic at the moment" Jin said and laughed a little, weary of whether or not I would laugh along. I did though.
"Alright, I already know some things about them" I said and smiled a little bit, hoping that I would be able to outsmart him but honestly, I won't because he has got a good head on him.
"Tell me all you know about them then" he said and raised an eyebrow, waiting to see what knowledge I have.
"I know that the same blood line has ruled as far back as it has been documented, I know that it is believed that the royal line is connected to the moon and that is why their eyes glow purple during full moons. I know that Quarter Moon was the reason that the Queen is dead alongside the king" I stated, when it came down to it, I didn't really know that much.
"You know that once someone of the right bloodline takes the throne their eyes become purple permanently right?" Jin asked and laughed slightly at the fact that I didn't know that much about the royals like I said I did.
"Well now I know" I laughed and twizzled a pen in between my fingers.
"Alright, let's start with the the last queen and work our way back. I would start with the current Queen but we don't have one" he laughed and looked down at the book in front of him. He handed me some paper ready for me to write. I saw him look up behind me and look beyond confused.
I turned around to see what had caused the confusion, only to be met with Jimin staring down at me. I wish I could say he looked happy or suspicious, but he didn't. He looked sad and regretful.
"Jimin, what's wrong, is everything okay?" I asked and stood up so that I could look at him in the face better. He shook his head and looked at me in the eyes.
"They have come back and they need to see you" he said quietly, I felt my heart sink and my pulse begin to raise, I looked down at the floor, then to Jin who has stood up as well. I looked to Jimin and nodded my head.
"Where do I need to go?" I asked, Jimin looked shocked at how willing I was to going. But honestly, the more I objected, the more I would look like what they wanted.
I followed Jimin to the auditorium with Jin by my side. I could hear shouting coming from within the room. Once I opened the door I saw my mum yelling at Lee who was stood there with a smug look on his face. I looked around to see Taehyung talking to Yoongi to calm him down.
"Who do you think you are taking my daughter away from me?" Mum screamed at Lee, George pulled her away and stood in her place. His face was raging, I could see from the veins appearing down his neck. His fangs has begun to display, showing how angry he was along with his first for blood. Not the blood to drink, just the blood to kill.
"You need to leave before I commit something that I don't want to" He said, centimetres away from his face, practically spitting on him.
"If you lay a hand on me I swear I will kill everyone here and you know it" he sneared to him, and pushed him away, all most making him fall.
"Stop it!" I shouted, catching the attention of everyone in the room. Lee smiled. Taehyung looked down at me, he didn't do anything, he couldn't. He knew it would risk people's lives if he done anything.
"You wanted to see me?" I asked and walked up to Lee, I looked over and saw Holly stood there, he eyes were tearing up as she stood with her hands behind her back and a larger male holding her arms. I looked at Jimin, the rage on his face was unlike anything I'd seen from him before.
"We have the two girls that we wanted, now we will be going" Lee said and smiled to me. I looked at my mum, her eyes were watering. I smiled to her to reassure her that I'd be okay. I did the same to Taehyung.
I didn't know if I would be though.
