Chapter Twenty Six

I moved my attention to what clothes to wear. It sounds stupid, the love of my life and brother had been taken and beaten and I wasn't sure if they were still alive. Today could be the day I die.

And I'm looking for clothes to wear.

It was a way of distracting myself, but at the same time, it was a critical decision. I needed to wear something that made me look somewhat intimidating. Something that screamed don't mess with me.

This is so stupid. They won't take me seriously, why would they? All they want is to kill me, to take the throne from me before I even get the chance to look at it. I'm not going down without a fight. Not a chance.

I picked out some basic, black high waisted jeans along with a black tank top. I went over to my mirror and applied makeup, it was a good way of trying to ignore reality. I made my eyeliner a lot thicker and longer to try and look intimidating.

I put on my combat boots, mainly because they were comfy and if I kicked someone it would hurt a lot more.

Something was missing though. I couldn't just wear what I had on. I needed some kind of jacket, but I didn't know what.

I threw myself back onto my bed and shut my eyes, letting out a loud huff. I turned in the bed, laying towards where Namjoon would normally be. I pulled the pillow into me and wrapped arms around it. The light smell of mint was left from Namjoon, making me let out a small smile.

"I'll see you soon" I whispered I to the pillow, even though he wasn't really there, I felt as though he was. My eyes were shut as I spoke, allowing me to imagine that he was there, smiling to me.

I opened my eyes, and diverted my eyes away from the pillow, looking passed it and towards the other side of the room. Something caught my attention.

The black leather jacket that Namjoon so eagerly wanted to buy was laid against the desk chair. I instantly jumped up from my laying position, crawling across my bed to grab the jacket.

He'd only worn it a few times, but it had the same minty scent to it. I instantly put it on, it was too big for me, but it was cosy. It was warm too, reminding me more of Namjoon even more.

I knew what I was missing now.

3am.

I had 3 hours until I get to see them again.

3 hours until everything changes, whether it be good or bad. Only time will tell.

I needed something to eat, something that would give me a lot of energy. Something that I was definitely going to need. I wasn't sure if I'd have anything to eat after today, maybe all together.

As I left, I gave my room a final look. I'd spent over 100 years in that room, and I didn't know whether I was going to return to it. I was going to leave anyway, to go to the castle. Maybe I'll never be able to go to the castle.

"Alexa!" I heard someone call as I stood outside of my door. My body was suddenly engulfed by Jimin in a giant hug. He was always there to comfort people when they needed it.

"I'm coming with you tonight" he said into my ear as he continued to hug me.

"Jimin, you don't have to, what about Holly?" I replied, I didn't want too many people coming. It wouldn't be safe for them.

"Holly is staying here, we've already spoken about it. Alexa, I'm not letting you go there without me. Not only are you risking your life, but Taehyung is at risk too. I'm not loosing either of you, never mind you both" he said to me sternly, he was telling me. Not asking me. Instead of saying anything back, I just nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, we have some things to sort out before we leave" he said and held his arm out for me to take. I loved Jimin for this, he always took care of me, along with the others.

As we walked into the canteen, I looked over to the others, and saw they were sat without any food. Instead of going to sit with them, I headed over to the food area.

"Your majesty" the lady working there said as she looked at me and began to bow.

"Alexa" I said to remind her she doesn't have to say that at all.

"Sorry, Alexa. What would you like?" she asked as she smiled at me.

"I'm going to need human blood, a lot of it. Not just for me but for all of us over there" I said and pointed to the table where I normally sat. She smiled and nodded, walking away to find what I needed.

I wasn't sure if they'd have enough, we didn't kill for the blood. But we had ways of getting blood without harming others.

"You can sit down, I'll bring it over to you" the lady said, I nodded and walked back over to the table.

Everyone but Jimin looked at me with a sad expression. They looked concerned at me, even J-hope who was usually smiley. I dont know how he survived living in Quarter Moon.

"Jin, I need to talk to you after this" I said, I needed to ask him about the dream I had with Namjoon. He had the knowledge of everything, and he was bound to know what it meant.

"Of course" he said and forced a smile. I looked to Yoongi who was almost death staring me.

"Yoongi, don't be like that" I said as I looked at him. He really didn't want me to give myself over, none of them did. But we had been close all our lives, I didn't want to loose him, but I may have to.

"You are just going to hand yourself over" he commented, his eyes were full of sadness as he looked at me.

"She's not giving herself over" Jimin stated sternly to Yoongi. The tension was unbearable.

"Listen, I'm not walking there and just handing myself over like that. But if I have to to save Namjoon and Taehyung I will. I'm not letting them die because of me" I stated clearly to them. I raised my eyebrows to them all, so they understood me.

"We are coming with you" Jungkook said and signalled to J-hope who nodded. I wanted to roll my eyes, but there was no point.

"We all are" Jin said seriously as he looked at me. I should be surprised, but I'm not. In a way I'm thankful, thankful that I won't be alone, that I'll have those I love with me.

But at the same time I was scared. I didn't know if I would lose one of them. I can't tell the future, so I couldn't tell if one of them would say something wrong. Or worse, I'd say something wrong.

"I'm glad you are coming, but people need to stay here, to watch out" I explained, we couldn't just leave the facility without people to protect it.

"That's what Jace is doing. They will be here soon" Jungkook reassured me. They were definitely one step ahead of me, making sure that others were safe.

"Everyone was warned last night about today's events, what could happen. All the younger were sent to gibbous" Jin explained. They definitely had everything sorted.

Gibbous was the sister group to us if you would like. All the groups in this area's names related to the moon in some way. All named after different phases of the moon. It was because we all lived within range of the castle, which was known as 'full'. You can imagine why.

"That explains why I can't hear any younger around" I commented as I looked around in the canteen. There wasn't all that many people around here as it was. They were probably elsewhere.

"What has everyone eaten?" I asked, referring to everyone else here.

As I asked, I could smell the scent of human blood coming towards us. I hadn't fed in almost 24 hours, so the desire for it hit me hard. I watched as everyone fangs came through along with my own.

"Knock yourself out" the lady said as she laid the bowls of blood down in front of us. I didn't hesitate before I dive into the blood.

I finished quickly, I had a lot of it. I was so full, but it's exactly what I needed. I wiped my mouth and looked at the others, staring at me astounded.

"I'm hungry" I said bluntly before getting off of my seat and placed my empty bowl with the rest of the cutlery that needed to be clean.

I looked around, noticing the vampires eyes on me. I looked away from them all and walked back over to the seats.

"Jin, can I talk to you now?" I asked as I stood at the top if the table, signalling to go out of the canteen. He looked back at me and nodded instantly and stood up, following me out of the area.

People continued to look at me as I left, but I ignored them. I wasn't sure if the looks were good or bad, but I didn't care to know at this point. I have better things to be concerning over, rather than worrying about the way people were looking at me.

"What do you need to talk to me about?" Jin asked as his eyebrows furrowed together, it was like he almost didn't want me to answer, incase it was something he didn't want to hear.

"Can people be in each others dreams, communicating with each other?" I asked quietly, not wanting anyone to over hear me. Jin suddenly smiled with relief and laughed.

"Jin, this isn't funny. I need to know" I sad, hitting his arm. I wasn't exactly in the best mood to be joking around like this. 

"It's very rare, basically unheard of. Why?" He asked as he looked at me intensely, trying to work out the answer for himself.

"I was just wondering" I lied, beginning to walk away. My arm was grabbed, pulling me back to Jin. 

"Don't lie to me. Who was it with?" The intense staring and knowing me for the amount of time that he did clearly meant he saw right through me. 

"Namjoon" I admitted, just saying his name triggered something inside of me. Hurt.

"Was the whole dream you two together?" he interrogated.

I wasn't sure if I even wanted to remember the beginning of the dream, never mind talk about it. What occurred in that dream was indescribable. The pain I felt, the cries I created seemed so real. They can't be real, they just can't. Quarter Moon had to bring them alive to me before they could have me, and they need me.

"Not exactly" I admitted. 

It was at times like these that I needed Taehyung with me, for me to talk to him and for him to comfort me. The others were great, and I knew I could talk to them, but it just isn't the same. Taehyung knew exactly what to say to help me, and knew what I would need. He wasn't just my brother, but my best friend too.

"Jin, I saw Namjoon die in my arms"
