Chapter Sixteen
~ Y/N POV~
It's been a just over a week since I had that dream. I found out the next day that it was a shared dream, that all of us were in one dream by the moon goddess. That was thanks to Hoseok not realising I walked in to the room as they were all in a discussion. That's when they all went into namjoons office making sure to lock the door as they went inside.
Since then Hoseok has pretty much avoided me since then. I guess he doesn't want to spill anymore secrets, but it wasn't really a secret when I already knew.
It hurts a little that he's been ignoring me lately, they all have been keeping their distance. I'm not complaining too much as I like my space since all this secret stuff is driving me mad. But I do get lonely a lot I get a slight twinge in my heart at the loneliness I feel every day.
I spend most of the day in the library, reading stories just to pass the time or just to sit with my thoughts. One time Namjoon came into the library it wasn't awkward just small talk here and there but other than that nothing else.
Since the group dream I haven't really been sleeping much at all. I can't there's too much going on in my mind to even think clearly and when I do sleep it's always of different places during different times with different people but I never see their faces.
One dream was when I was cooking in a kitchen with some guy and then another was dancing in a local competition with a completely different person. There's others to like watching someone play piano or reading books with someone, painting pictures, travelling with another and playing board games in front of a fire. These all seem as if they were someone's memories. They're all I can think about. Some of them just happen through the day aswell, not just in my dreams.
But I never tell the guys about this. I just keep it to myself.
But last nights dream had me thinking. This time there were 7 different men and me. Again no faces, but it seemed as though someone was painting a picture of the 8 of us.
I was sat in a single chair with at least two sat on the floor by my feet on either side, their bodies had one leg out stretched while they had one bent leg with a arm resting on the bent leg. Another man, which was the taller out the 7 was standing directly behind me with one of each hand resting on my bare shoulders. As I was wearing a traditional 1700s dress, with my hair traditionally styled.
Another two kneeled beside where I sat, placing themselves just behind the two sitting men on the floor and another further two standing up right next to the tallest.
It's so frustrating that I can't see any faces but I can remember the moment in the dream or vision.
I throw my book to the side on the couch I'm sitting on in the library. I throw my head back and rub my face while groaning out so loudly that I could almost sound like I'm screaming. The stress is overwhelming, this is all I can think about, as well as what the goddess told me.
"Are you okay y/n?"
It was Hoseok.
I move my eyes to look at him before I decided to move me head to get a better look at him. As he asked me the question I see he looks noticeably worried. I just shrug at him.
"You don't seem yourself these days. Your very quiet" he comes closer and takes a seat next to me. I shrug once more before throwing my head back again and moaning at the throbbing pain of a migraine I have from stress.
" I've got a massive migraine right now from stress" rubbed my forehead to try and ease the pressure. I felt him move on the spot next to me "what are you stressed about?"
I sit back up straight and look back at him sitting next to me. "A few things, I've felt like you guys have been avoiding me for over a week now and I keep thinking about what the moon goddess said and the fact namjoons secretive about his office and to top it all off I keep having visions of images or dreams when I can sleep, of people I don't know in different times, doing different things." I watch his face fall into a frown.
" okay so I'm sorry we've made you feel that way y/n, that wasn't our intentions. We've been under some stress lately and we're getting worried about minho and your dad and of course your mum and soojin. As for the what the goddess told you, don't stress about that right now, she told you she'll come to you when the time is right. Don't even think about it. Namjoons office......" he sighed and looked down for a split second and looked back at me "I wish I could tell you about his office but I really can't except for the fact, there's nothing special in there. It's actually quite boring to me..." he giggled and gave me a half hearted smile. "Next when did these visions and dreams start?"
I bite down on my bottom lip and look down at the floor "y/n please don't do that." I stopped biting my lip and glanced back him confused.
"Don't do what ?"
He shakes his head "it's doesn't matter. When did you start having these visions y/n?" He asks again. This time I don't look away from him I just stare upon his face "since the day after the group dream. I pretty much get a vision type thing at least once a day or if I manage to fall asleep I dream about them."
" dream about who y/n?" I pull my eyes away from his face and look down at his thighs "I don't know I can never see their faces. All I get to know is their voices, hair and body build other than that nothing else." I shrug again at him. I try to act unbothered.
"You should of told one us about this" he wrapped his hand around my upper arm.
" I didn't want to bother anyone with my problems" I turned my body more towards him facing him directly.
He scoffed and gave a wide bright smile "your problems are our problems now y/n" he took a hold of my hand and just held it gently. His hands were soft an warm, they were bigger than my hands that's for sure.
I smile back him, his smile is contagious.
I watch him as he turns to stare at the floor, his eyes slightly move side to side and his eyebrow twitches.
There's silence in the room but he still holds me hand.
"Y/n would you like to come for a walk with me?" I nodded quickly and excitedly.
He laughed and stood up pulling me up with him "great!! It'll be better than staying in all the time, some fresh air will do you good. Jin said it'll help with the migraine" he started to pull me along with his to leave the library.
I tug in his hand a little "you told Jin in the link didn't you?" He looked back at me and then carried on looking forward "yeah I did when I was telling the others I'm taking to for a walk."
I stayed quiet after that and just let him drag me to where ever he's wanting to take me.
Hoseok was still holding my hand as he guided me through the trees for a walk around the forest. I did almost trip a few times but would catch myself.
He kept asking me what the visions and dreams are about. I didn't tell him at first but I eventually caved and told him about everything that I remember. I noticed his smile when I mentioned about dancing in a competition, he tried to face away from me but I saw it. But I don't tell him that.
After a while of walking he did have to carry me at one point as we were walking for some time so after a while I started to feel bad for him carrying me so I had to ask him to put me down. He insisted that it was okay but no, I felt bad. I wanted to walk the rest of the way. I would be lying if I said my feet didn't hurt. We were walking for quite sometime.
I look around me taking in the surroundings around me, I think I know where's he's taking me. It's a place I always went. I don't know why but every since I found out about that place in school and then later getting the full story off my parents. I couldn't stay away. It had a familiar aura about it, like I had been there before and I was meant to be there again. It was like a pull.
I was there every second day for 8 years. It became another home in a way. I use to even do my homework at this place.
It was the red wars battle ground. Which is now a memorial place, it's where many wolves and hunters died. And according to the myth so did the 7 soldiers and the moon goddess's daughter.
No wonder Hoseok wants to bring me back there. I guess it's like a memory thing.
The area was just as red as I remember. Red stains covered the trees leaves and even parts of the trees bodies that haven't washed away. The earth beneath us was a dark almost black colour with red faded colour grass. Calling it the red war was no joke. This place truly was a place that held the blood bath of a war we all call the red war, understandably so.
Hoseok starts to slow down his pace, hand still intwined with mine. I search the area with my eyes taking in all the red colours mixed with either green or brown.
We kept walking until we can to a stop in front of a large statue, that must of been at least twice the size of us.
The statue was of a young woman in what would look like a dress teaching down to her feet as she was standing in the middle of seven wolves. The wolves were standing side by side in a line on each side of her. The statue was made of some sort of steel, it surprises me everything I see this statue that's there's never any rust on it. I've always thought someone must be looking after it. That's the only way I could explain it.
All my attention was on this statue, I couldn't take my eyes away from it. It's gives me a sense of peace and happiness. All my stress feels long gone at this moment.
I felt someone's chest press up against my back and move a piece of hair from my shoulder. I was caught of guard for a minute until I realised Hoseok was no longer holding my hand.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded slowly. His hushed voice sending shivers up my spine.
He slowly moves his hands down from my shoulders and to my elbows to then grab me gently and turn me around to face him. He standing very close, nose almost touching.
What the hells going on?
He's so close, yet I don't want to move. I don't want him to move away either.
"You know what this place is y/n?" His hot breath now softly reaching my lips. I nodded once more.
"Yes, it's a memorial for the red war, for those that lost their lives. The place you lost your first life." My voice came out softer than I had wanted, but paid no mind to it. I was too interested in looking into his eyes that were constantly flicking from yellow to his brown eye colour.
He didn't say anything more. His eyes fixed to his colour yellow before leaning in more so our lips touched gently.
Our lips pressed together, all sorts of emotions rushed through me at once. I felt excitement, happiness, love and......longing. I felt I've been waiting all my life to be kissed like this. It was my first kiss and a very good one at that.
The kiss turned from gentle to passionate. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled my closer by my waist. Our bodies pressed against one another, enjoying each other taste on the lips. He nipped my bottom lip with his teeth asking for access and I let him. His tongue searched my mouth as I flicked my tongue to his.
I couldn't help but let out a small moan, he must of heard it as he let out a growl through his chest, pulling at the hem of my shirt on my back, pressing me even more closer to him.
The moment made me feel like I was float in air, it was magical.
But it all went flying out the window when a striking pain, hit me right on the head. It spread all over feeling like my brain was being squashed with in my skull.
I aggressively pull my self away from
Hoseok and grab my head. Squatting down to the floor, I can barely see the pain is so bad. Thumping and throbbing, like a hammer hit me right on the head.
My hearing goes on and off now and again I'll hear Hoseok asking if I'm ok or what's wrong with me, but I ignore him.
I still can't see properly but I can feel him grab my shoulder as he pulls me to him. I slip off my feet as I leaned into him, my butt now on the floor. He wraps both his arms around me and just holds me there as I go through this pain.
Slowly very slowly the pain starts to ease and my vision starts to come back and my hearing more clearly.
The first thing I hear is whines coming from Hoseok chest. I look up at him to see he had tears in his eyes.
I place a hand on each side of his face and wipe his tears "I'm fine now hobi, it's ok" I placed a quick kiss on his lips as I let go of his face. He quickly pulled me into his embrace again, my face landing on his chest. I laughed and wiped the tears I didn't realise I had.
I look down at the faded red grass to see one of the grave plaques on the ground. It had my name engraved on it. There was another one just in front of it with taehyung names on it.
My thoughts then clouded with sadness as I now realise where I am. I reach forward and lean out of Hoseok embrace as he lets go of me. I brush my fingers along the grey stone plaque in the ground, tracing my name with the tip of my fingers. I then get in all fours and hoover over the plaque with my name to then look at taehyungs. I never really looked at these before until now, I just sat by the statue and minded my own business, but this time I wanted to have a look at them all.
Taehyungs plaque was right in front of my name and to my left at least one step away was another with Jimins name. I crawl over in the grass to Jimins name and flick the strands of grass away from his plaque.
I look at Hoseok and he's just watching me quietly, his eyes shift now and again. I think he's linking the others. I'm slowly learning when they do this, it's their eyes that mostly give it away.
I noticed just to the right of Hoseok was another plaque planted into the ground. I then quickly crawled over to the one next to him and it had namjoons name on it. In front of Namjoon at least 3 steps away was another so again I crawl to that one to see jins name and then right next to that one was Jungkooks.
With each name I read, my heart clenches.
Two steps away from Jungkooks was another, it was Hoseoks.
I sat beside his and touched the cold stone plaque. Our eyes met and he sighed sadly "yes that's mine. The story is true.... where each plaque lies is where each of us took our last breaths in our first life." I saw a tear slip his left eye but he quickly wiped it.
"Why are you all spaced out? In the stories told they made it sound like you all died together." He scoffed and looked away. "Of course they did, they tried to make it alittle more romantic. I mean yeah we all dies fairly close but unless you come here you won't know that these plaque are where we took our last breaths or some people just don't know at all."
"Then can you tell me why they're spaced out please? If it's too much then I understand." He was playing with a bit of grass between his fingers before looking for his eyes to meet my face. His eyes flashed yellow, then quickly turned back to their brown colour.
He took a big breath in. "Well to start with that spot that we were just kissing at was the spot I gave our mate one last kiss the day before we....."I gasped at him, I just remembered he had a mate. "Oh my gosh Hoseok I'm so sorry, I shouldn't of kissed you, knowing you have a mate. I'm sorry." He gave me a sad smile "you don't need to say sorry y/n, it was me that kissed you first. So many emotions hit me at once, I'm sorry." I sat quietly looking down at the plaque next to me, I wanted to wait for him to continue. "Each plaque represents where each of us passed away. Your.......... I mean our mates plaque is right here" he pointed to the plaque in front of him. "Because this is where Shiwoo..." he gritted his teeth together at the name. "Killed her right here as she was grieving over taehyung, jimin and namjoon." He pointed to each of their plaque as he said their names.
"Did they die before her?" He nodded.
"Yes they died from their injuries while fighting to save her from the hunters. It was horrible. The rest of could only watch. Namjoon and jimin were already dead but taehyung,.......he was slipping slowly and died in her arms.......none of us saw Shiwoo coming we were to consumed by grief to even realise he was there. We let our guard down and he killed her, killing the rest of us immediately afterwards.......Yoongi blames himself the most for that." He looks up at me from the ground and our eyes met but my eyes were full of confusion.
"Why would be blame himself? It's not his fault" he then huffs at me.
"Well try telling him that, he so stubborn that he won't take a telling." He pauses for a moment, eyes flicking back and forth.
"He blames himself because he was behind our mate and didn't stop Shiwoo in time. Shiwoo killed her from behind and so Yoongi has never been able to forgive himself that he wasn't fast enough. None of us blame him at all." He then points behind him and shuffled backwards on his bum.
I can see a little indent in the ground where another plaque lay. This time I stand up and walk over to it.
I squat down and read his name, Yoongi.
I felt so sorry for him, all of them. To have to go through all of this for centuries just in hopes that they get their happily ever after.
I stand back up and reach out to him to grab his hand "I'm sure this time you will all get your happily ever after, hobi." I don't know where I keep getting these nicknames but I'll just go along with it.
His smiles shines bright at me as he grabs my hands and lets me help pull him up. He wraps one arm around my shoulders "thanks y/n but maybe we should head back home now, it's getting late and Jin's already nagging at me about bringing you home for something to eat." I laughed and then smacked his side. He looks a little shocked at first "ah ha! I knew you were linking the others!"
He widen his eyes and and gave out a exaggerated gasp "how did you know?" He exclaimed.
I laughed along with him. "I can tell by your eyes." I made a gesture with my two fingers pointing to my eyes.
"Ah so you like staring into my eyes." He winked then wiggled his eyebrows.
I smacked him on his side again "don't get all pervy on me. Now let's go before Jin comes out looking for us and before you ask how I would know that, I just have a feeling he would. No let's go!" I started running towards the direction we came from.
I was sprinting as fast as I could thinking I might possibly beat him but.....no.
A white wolf ran past me like it was nothing and here I am huffing and puffing trying my hardest to run fast.
"Hey that's cheating!!!!" I ran after him, waving my fists at him.
He barked at me and continued running home.
