"taehyung, wake up! we are under attack!" baekhyun shook the prince awake, making the poor boy sit up and widen his red eyes. "the werewolves have gotten into the borders."

"i thought yoongi was supposed to reenforce them today." taehyung grunted, standing and throwing on a new robe, hiding away his crown, in a safe place. he looked at the window, the sun was starting to set, but unfortunately it was still high in the sky. as long as he stayed in the shadows, he should be fine.

"where are you going?" baekhyun called after his younger brother, but taehyung ignored his calls. the prince stuck against the walls, reaching the stairs and flashing down them at the speed of light. the prince advanced to the outside, staying in all the shaded parts. only a slight burning feeling as he flashed from shadow to shadow.

he finally reached the border as he jumped from shadow to shadow uncomfortably. surely, there they were, a large group of werewolves, all blue eyed, fierce beasts. the prince had also noticed that his father was already trying to talk down the alpha. the prince flashed to the shadowed area of a tree and stood beside his father.

"what is this nonsense? we have done nothing to anger you." his father argued, but the alpha only smiled. his blue eyes sparkling in the sun. taehyung could tell that this was his doing. he entered the wolf woods. it wasn't such a bad thing. he didn't injure anyone! he just wanted a break.

"your son here, entered the wolf woods! a werewolf territory! if anything we view that as a threat." the alpha growled, following by a response of a million growls behind him. "we could smell that scent from anywhere. the scent of blood and rotting flesh."

taehyung saw his father glare at him from the side. well, here we go. he was already getting in trouble with the werewolf alpha, enough to make them want to attack, and he had barely been prince for even two days. "is this true, son?"

the prince sighed, "yes- but only for a mere second. i didn't cause any of your people harm, nor did i mess with your territory." he'd argue, his fangs growing to show his anger towards the violent alpha. the alpha narrowed his eyes, placing a clawed hand on taehyung's chest and pushing him out of the shadows.

taehyung fell backward, his arms and part of his face landing back, into the sun. his skin started to sizzle. the prince sat up quickly, letting out a cry out pain. he cradled his arm, which was now scorched. that's when all hell broke loose, the king dove at the werewolf alpha. the alpha let out an enormous growl as he fought with taehyung's father.

taehyung watched as many vampires willingly charged forward as well, coming out of the shadows and onto the battle field. taehyung spotted a better shaded area, his skin still burning as he slowly crossed an unshaded area in hopes of getting to the well covered place.

he'd cry out as he crouched, stuck in the sunlight. well- until a strong arm dragged him into the shade. the sun was almost out of the way now, and the vampire was exhausted from being scorched by the sun. taehyung didn't dare look at his savior, maybe because he didn't want to be helped. perhaps it would save his pride if he didn't acknowledge the help.

"not gonna say thank you? i just saved your life." the deep voice of a werewolf. taehyung opened his ruby colored eyes. he was clearly unamused and in pain. he'd stare into the majestic blue eyes that hovered above him- the same ones from the wolf woods.

"it's you." taehyung choked out, his skin still burning and face contorted, displaying serious pain. taehyung inhaled, his voice failing him for a few seconds, before he rightfully declared to rescue his fallen pride, "i could have made it here myself." he noticed the werewolf roll his eyes.

"it's okay to ask for help, you know. so, just take it. i'm the only one that even noticed you baking in the sun." taehyung glared angrily at the werewolf. were they still fighting? he couldn't have caused all of this, what was the true reason the werewolves attacked the vampires? the werewolf harshly pulled the vampire prince back again, the tight grip on the prince's shoulders making him hiss in a painful warning.

"why are you helping me? i trespassed in your woods." taehyung breathed out heavily, panting as his skin started to cool off. it still felt painful, his clothes sticking to his wounds and causing him pain by rubbing against the newly made burns. the werewolf didn't answer right away, his blue eyes focused on the battle field- and so taehyung looked too. oh-

dead- burnt vampires and idle werewolves lay across the field. one werewolf, one that had turned into a wolf, was charging towards them. the werewolf that had helped the prince, jumped in front of him and emitted a large growl. the attacking wolf growled back, just as angry. taehyung watched with pained eyes, trying to focus on everything at once, was his father okay? was his kingdom winning? he could still hear the yells and screams of pain from the battle.

finally, the attacking werewolf backed down, and the werewolf that rescued taehyung squatted down beside him. "they want me to head back. they said the attack was a success. i'm not really sure what that means, but if it means that any of your family or loved ones are dead-"

the vampire prince scoffed, "you don't care if any of my people are dead. if you did you would have stopped this." taehyung watched as the werewolf stared at the bloody battle field. he'd close his blue eyes, thinking. should he just leave the injured prince here? the sun would rise soon and remove him from the shade- but one of these vampires would have to find him sooner or later.. right?

"you're right. sorry." and the werewolf sprinted from the scene and into the sunlight, past all the burning and bleeding victims. the werewolves had retracted into the woods, and there stood many mighty vampires, bleeding and burnt out of their minds. the vampires had won? but surely they were out numbered, and that werewolf had said the werewolves had been victorious. did- did that werewolf call the pack off? taehyung glared at the wolf woods, where the ominous werewolf disappeared into. why was he doing this? what was his motive?
