Chapter Twenty Eight
(A/N: I realise this chapter is really long, but you might want to read it... It's a pretty vital chapter within the book)
"The guards are around all the perimeters of the buildings, along side half of the werewolves which are going to be roaming near the trees and the other half that will be inside the buildings spread out." I went over for the final time as walked up and down the room.
"Yes, it is all set here. I am going to stay here like we said, I'll let you know if anything happens" my mum said to calm me down, she was acting as calm as possible considering.
"Alright, we need to get going so that we get there early. We can't trust that they will get there earlier and use that against us in some way" Jungkook said, stopping me from continuing to move up and down the room.
"Yeah, you're right" I stopped. This was going to happen now. It all began to feel so real, like everything before was just in my head, but not anymore.
I was pulled into a tight embrace by my mum, being squeezed for dear life. Preventing the little breathing that I already did from happening. I managed to loosen the embrace enough to let me breathe enough, but carried on being held in my mother's arms.
"Whatever happens to me, or to anyone, know that I love you and I am trying my best to do what is right for everyone. Thank you for raising me like your own even though you didn't have to, and loving me all this time" I said, letting the tears flow as I spoke laying multiple kisses onto her cheek before letting go.
"I will always love you and always have Alexa, do what you can" she said, wiping the tears away from her own face.
As I backed away, I watched as Holly and Jimin held onto eachother for a moment longer. Watching them only made me miss Namjoon even more than I already did. The thought of what condition he and Taehyung are going to be in is going to break my heart into a million pieces. Just the thought of it makes me be able to hear the sounds of it break.
"Are you ready?" Yoongi asked as I began to walk out of the door.
"No, I never will be, but I have no choice" I replied, forcing a fake smile to appear on my mouth. Yoongi's eyes softened as he looked towards me, his expression saddened.
"We'll be with you, remember that. No matter how bad it gets" he said, pulling me into his side as we walked.
As we walked towards the main doors, the building was quiet. No sounds of the youngers running around, or the elders for that matter. No siblings shouting at eachother for stealing the others jumper. No sound's of those who had woke up late, running to work or class in a hurry.
There was nothing. Only an eery feeling of stillness. A stillness that was bound to be disrupted sooner rather later.
"Have you got everything you need?" Jin asked as he opened the door, exposing me to the outside. I took the door and held it for the next person, for the action to be carried on.
"I don't think there is exactly anything for me to bring" I expressed and raised my eyebrow as I felt the cold air hit my face, not that it affected me.
I noticed that the ground was covered in snow, most of it had been imprinted with the footprints of the guards that surround the perimeters during the day. Seeing the snow only made my stomach sink. It reminded me of the dream.
I stopped suddenly, taking in the sight around me. I could feel my slow heart beats increasing into what would seem to a normal human, an average beat. The whole scenario of the dream started replaying in my mind.
"Alexa" I suddenly heard the pain of someone calling my name from behind. The sound of Namjoons voice echoed in my mind as he called out for me in pain.
"Alexa? Are you okay?" Jin asked, noticing that I had frozen as I looked at the snow in front of me.
"Me? Oh. I'm fine, just thinking. Don't worry. Let's go" I blurted, gulping in between words, pushing infront of him to get ahead and move forwards.
Although I had begun walking ahead, I wasn't entirely sure of the direction we were meant to go. Nor was I sure whether or not it would be safe for me to go ahead of not.
"We need to arrange what order we run in. Alexa can't be at the front or the back, but she needs to stay in the middle surrounded by us incase we get attacked on the way." George announced as we all made our way into the snow and stood on the open land.
"Me and Andre will stay at the front, while Mason and Darin go to the back" Jace said and looked towards the two other werewolves he had mentioned. They nodded in agreement. Jace moved forward, followed by Andre, who was a tall man with smooth chocolate skin and light brown eyes that could intrigue pretty much anyone. Darin was similar to Mason, paler skinned, tall and muscular, but young looking. However, his hair was not as long as Mason's.
"I guess the rest of use just need to surround ourselves around her as we run" George said to the others, and looked at me from approval, which of course he got. I didn't have any reason to object.
"You're going to love this" J-hope quickly whispered to me from behind. I swung around in confusion, to ask him what he meant. But instead he just pointed in front of me towards Jace and Andre who were stood at the front cracking their necks.
"From now on, we won't really be able to communicate with you verbally" Jace looked towards me and explained before turning back around. I think I know what was about to happen.
I watched in awe as their bodies doubled in size, whilst they expanded. They growled in pain as the process happened. The long fur appeared to cover them as they grew bigger and bigger, transforming. Their growls deepened. Their hands and feet changed from that into paws, along with their nails into claws. They fell onto all fours, adjusting to their wolf selves.
They were huge. Much bigger than what I had imagined. They had become atleast triple the size of a wolf, making their backs be at the same level as my chin, barely allowing me to see over them from all the fur.
Jace had a two tone coat of fur, whilst Andre had a black coat with patches of brown throughout. I looked behind and saw Mason and Darin had also changed into their wolf forms. Mason had light brown fur, while Darin again had similar, but his had hints of gold throughout.
As Jace slowly turned around, trying not to hit any of us with his long body. He looked at me, his eyes were still the same as they were before he changed. He bowed his head down slowly towards me as an attempt to communicate, I did the same back.
I realise that I should do my own form of transformation. It wasn't a full moon, so there would be a chance that they wouldn't expect to see that I had control over my eyes. Also, it would help to intimidate them since being able to control my eyes shows I had more control over my power in general. They didn't know the full extent of my power.
None of them did.
None of them knew that I could take a life from touching them if I wanted to.
I think it is best they don't know for now. Not until it's necessary for them to know.
My eyelids fell as the drowsiness kicked in. I could feel the change had happened as I opened my eyes back up and looked around. I looked at the boys who were smiling to me, especially Jimin who had a bright smile upon his face.
"Let's go" I said to the wolves who made a grunting noise before starting to run, causing the rest to follow.
We followed closely behind the wolves in front, Jimin and George went infront of me as Jace and Andre separated slightly in the front, guarding more area. Jin and Yoongi were either side of me whilst J-hope and Jungkook stuck behind me.
We ran for what seemed for a long time, in and around trees, over logs and under low branches. No one really spoke, however I could hear Jungkook and J-hope speaking to eachother faintly from behind me.
"We are going to get the revenge we wanted" J-hope said to Jungkook as they ran.
"I hope so" Jungkook sighed.
"We will, I have a good feeling about this" J-hope said in a more cheerful voice.
"I just want our parents to get the revenge they deserve" Jungkook said sadly, you could tell he was still hurting deep down.
"We will get the revenge our parents deserve. I promise." J-hope said quietly to him.
As they spoke, it really made me think. This wasn't just about getting Namjoon and Tae back. This was about facing Quarter Moon face on, a chance to end them for all. I'm sure Yoongi was thinking the same for the revenge he wanted for his parents.
I couldn't let them go on any longer.
Nevermind letting them take me, I had to stop them all together. Stop them from hurting Namjoon and Taehyung. Stop them from hurting all those that they had taken people away from. Stop them from hurting people in the future.
"How much longer until we get there?" I asked urgently, we'd been running for what felt like a lifetime, and I felt a bigger need to get there now then before.
I needed to see Namjoon and Taehyung, I needed to know they were alive. I couldn't risk getting there late, they would be the type to use it against me and do something awful to the ones I love.
"it's just passed those trees ahead" George said, pointing towards the trees coming towards us. I could see the open land in front. It looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't see the full view of it yet, so I couldn't see why.
We slowed down to a walking pace as we headed to the trees. No one spoke, watching out for any of Quarter Moon hanging around the trees. I had a feeling it was safe, for now. So I moved ahead of the wolves, letting me to see the land for myself.
As I looked around me, I saw a never ending field, covered in snow. I was the only one here. An overwhelming sense of loneliness suddenly flooded over me, making a tear slowly fall down my cheek.
The same feelings from the dream hit me, as the view from the change in season from spring into winter had seemingly occurred. The only difference from the dream, was that now it was nighttime.
It was just a dream, Alexa. Just a dream.
It isn't real.
It was made up in your head.
You aren't alone.
Everything's going to be okay.
As we walked out into the vast snow covered land, I heard the sounds of cars coming in the distance. I should feel scared and anxious, but I just felt anger instead. Anger towards those that had taken the ones I loved, and have taken the ones others had loved, but they had no way of getting them back.
Two large black vans started coming towards us, standing out against the pure white snow. I felt two hands pull me back behind their bodies.
Jin and Yoongi pushed me behind them, to stop Quarter moon from being able to see me yet. Jimin moved next to me and squeezed my hand as the werewolves spread out whilst George, J-hope and Jungkook moved forward closer towards the direction of the vans.
I watched through the space between Jin and Yoongi, watching as the van stopped for a moment, and the boys moved forward. It was hard to see what was happening, but I could figure it out enough.
I saw a tall figure come out of the car first, followed by multiple vampires after him. I could tell instantly it was Lee.
He was wearing a long coat, with tailored trousers and a light coloured shirt. He looked his usual self, with a smirk on his face. He knew that he had want I wanted, and he knew that he could use that against me all he wanted.
"Hello George, how are you on such a fine night?" Lee asked decievingly, I could see the malicious look in his eyes as he spoke.
"Cut the crap, we aren't here to chit chat. Where are the boys?" George replied honestly, wanting to just get to the point, like we all did.
"Calm down, we have time. Or do we? I see you brought some more of the betrayers" he said, I noticed his attention move towards Jungkook and J-hope who were beside George.
I couldn't help but feel enraged by the way Lee spoke about them, they seemed to always be treated bad from Quarter Moon even when they were apart of their group. They weren't people who deserved to be treated badly, especially after all he had done to them.
"If leaving a place that is run by bastards to be somewhere better, where the one person that should be ruling over us is, means that we are betrayers, then so be it" Jungkook said, holding his ground.
Lee just stared back at Jungkook, not necessarily knowing what to say back to him. I'd imagine this is the first time that either Jungkook or J-hope had stood up to Lee and that was not something he wanted to see.
"Speaking of the Queen, where is she?" Lee asked on a more serious tone, he looked towards Jin and Yoongi who were still determined to not let me through.
"Let us see the boys first, before we let you see Alexa. You know she's here." George replied to him calmly.
"That wasn't the agreement. Once I see Alexa, we'll let you see Namjoon and the other one" Lee said. The way he referred to my brother as the other one, only sparked more nerves inside of me.
I straight away moved Jin and Yoongi out of the way, and began to make my way over to the front. As I moved, I pushed my hair around to one side and flipped it up out of my face so that my eyes were clear to see.
As I moved forward, I felt the burning of all the vampires eyes on me. There was an even amount of vampires that were on show front their side, but there had to be more hidden inside those vans at the least.
I locked eyes with Lee as I walked forward, his expression changed from the smirking and amused expression he usually had upon his face. Instead he looked serious and intrigued as he watched me.
I wasn't going to be the young vampire that was afraid of being found out like he remembered. Not the one that would be broken down and afraid when asked questions about my true self.
"Here I am, now let me see Namjoon and my brother" I said straight, not wanting to mess about. I wanted to get to the point we needed to be, not what he likes to do by small talking.
"Hold on a moment, I need to take all this in. It's the first time we've properly met" Lee said, his face returning to the smirk expression.
"Show me them. There is nothing for us to talk about" I replied to him, he clearly found this amusing still.
"You can't make me" he said and raised his brow.
Before I could say anything, I heard the growling coming from Jace. It took a lot for any of the werewolves to not attack any of the vampires in general, nevermind vampires from Quarter Moon. Lee looked at the werewolves and realised that this wasn't a game, I wasn't ready to have small talk and neither was anyone else.
"Bring them out" Lee said to the vampires by his side. I had spent so much time looking at Lee, that I hadn't even noticed who the vampires were around him.
Ed was the one to move towards the van. My attention was on Ed as he moved, he moved pretty faced as he opened the boot doors.
"Someone else get over here, I think the small ones knocked out" Ed shouted towards one of the other vampires. I looked at Lee who looked straight at me.
I wanted to move and to run to Taehyung, I knew that was who they were talking about. He was smaller than Namjoon, so it was plainly obvious.
"Don't you dare move, or else he'll be more than just knocked out" Lee warned me, stopping me in my place.
I watched as the other vampire lifted Taehyung out of the car boot, I couldn't see his face, it was covered buy a black bag. He didn't seem completely out of it, he sounded like he was sleeping. He must have been in a deep sleep, like he hadn't been able to sleep since he was taken.
They dropped Taehyung down onto the floor, making me jump as I watched. There was nothing more I wanted to do then to help him, but I couldn't risk it.
Just as I was about to say something, to have an outburst, I heard them getting Namjoon out of the car boot. They pulled him out and pulled his arms up behind his back and pushed him forward. He had a similar bag over his head too. He was limping as he walked forward. I just wanted to heal him and take care of him.
"Drop and don't move" Edward said, as they approached next to where Taehyung laid, trying to wake up. Namjoon dropped to his knees and didn't say a word.
Taehyung started to move slightly, and made groaning noises as he moved. Clearly beginning to wake up and be more aware. He couldn't speak though, something was obviously preventing him from speaking.
"Taehyung? It's okay, I'm here. Don't do anything stupid, I've got you." I said calmly, Lee didn't say anything about not being able to talk to him.
Taehyung had managed to sit up at this point, but had stopped making so much noise once I spoke and instead sat still. It frustrated me beyond belief that I couldn't do anything, but seeing them in front of me only reminded me that I had to be careful.
As I spoke, I noticed Namjoon turn his head in the bag. I don't think he realised that he would be here with me.
"Why can't they speak?" I asked.
"Why would I want to hear them talking?" he retaliated.
I chose not to continue to speak, only to stare at him. I looked straight into his dark eyes and just stared.
I noticed him move his hand, signalling to remove the bags from their heads. I moved my attention to the two in front of me, watching as the bags were lifted off of their faces.
They looked awful.
They had been beaten within an inch of their lives. Especially Namjoon. Taehyung's lips were swollen from where he'd been hit, along with his cheek bone on one side. He had a slight cut at the corner of his eye too.
Namjoons whole face had pretty much turned blue and purple with fresh bruises. His lips were Bersted completely with his eye swollen up. They both had gags in their mouth, stopping them from talking, but I could see in their expressions they were in a lot of pain. The anger inside me as I looked at them spiralled out of control.
"What the fuck have you done to them?" I shouted as I looked between them and Lee. I was loosing it.
"I wouldn't loose your temper with me. I am about to be either your best friend, or your worse enemy" he said, and looked at me intensely.
I was confused by what he meant by that. It meant he was going to do something, and I had no idea what, the thought of whatever it could be scared the life out of me.
"I'm going to take the gags out, but if you say a word, you can say goodbye to your lives. Got it?" Lee asked as he turned around to Namjoon and Taehyung. They both looked up and nodded in agreement, meaning someone from behind took the gags out.
I looked at Namjoon who was watching me with his light brown eyes. I was screaming inside that I couldn't go to him, it pained me so much. I looked at him too and forced a reassuring smile, but I knew I wasn't convinced myself. He smiled back and mouthed 'it's going to be okay' to me.
"Now, I'm going to give you a choice and you have to choose one, or else I'll end everyone." Lee explained, catching my attention. I didn't know what the choice was but I couldn't help but feel as though it was going to be bad no matter what.
"Namjoon or Taehyung" He stated.
"What?" I panicked.
"You have to choose, Namjoon or Taehyung" He repeated.
I panicked and looked around to the others, they looked at me with shocked expressions. I looked back at Taehyung and Namjoon. Taehyung looked so innocent and weak as he looked up at me, he can't handle this situation. I looked at Namjoon, but he kept signalling to Taehyung.
"I-" I began to say before being interrupted.
"Choose now, or they die"
"Taehyung" I instantly said.
He smiled and let out a small laugh before grabbing Taehyung's T-shirt and pulled him up, only to push him in my direction.
"Here, have him" Lee said, as Tae stumbled into my arms.
"Tae" I screeched and caught him in my arms, holding him up, but squeezing him lightly in my embrace.
"Alexa, you're okay. You're okay" he repeated, he sounded exhausted, like he had been beaten around his stomach.
"I'm okay, come on, we're getting you home" I said as Jimin ran over to me, to help me hold up Taehyung.
We moved over to Darin, slowly. Taehyung was also limping, but only lightly compared to Namjoon. Darin automatically lowered to the ground, allowing Taehyung to climb onto him.
"Jimin, I want you to run with them, make sure they get back safe" I said to Jimin, who nodded and smiled before they started to run back into the trees.
"Shame you didn't choose Namjoon. Now we have to go with this option. " Lee suddenly said, gaining my attention from the odd choice of wording.
As I turned around and looked over to Lee, everything turned into slow motion.
The dream.
The blade.
I watched as the blade swung down into Namjoons abdomen.
His eyes on mine.
All sound dispersed, all but the sound of my scream.
