His cold black eyes stared at the lifeless girl. Blood still oozing out of her body. Taehyung cried and wailed out loud. Finally his instincts kicked in and caused his true brutal strength to appear. He slashed Hae-In's face causing him to stumble backwards with a groan. Now blood oozing out of his face.

"Noona!!!" Taehyung ran towards her barely alive body. A large gun wound to her stomach, blood clouding her hoodie. Her breathing was heavy and her eyes barely opened. She wanted to tell Taehyung she was fine, but her voice was complete silence. As if someone shut her lips and sealed her voice, she couldn't speak. Taehyung was crying and shaking, his fingers gently holding up her head.

"Your gonna be fine Noona! We just need Younha and mommy and everything would be fine! Just stay awake okay Noona?" Taehyung pleaded, hugging her head as he cried. His tears dropping on her face as she breathes heavily.

"Taehyung, I'll be f-fine. I'm s-sorry I couldn't protect you. I'm s-sorry I couldn't keep my promise. I'm s-sorry Tae." Y/n whimpered, her lips trembling as her hand gently wiped his tears away from his cheeks. He cried harder, holding her closer.

"Nononono! Your going to be fine Noona!" Taehyung cried out, tears falling left and right down his cheeks. Y/n breathes heavily, her body slowly growing limp in his arms. Taehyung cried harder and gently shook her to stay awake.

"No! Don't close your eyes Noona! Stay awake! Noona!" Taehyung screamed, her body going completely limp, blood now getting all over his small hands. Taehyung sobbed and weep, his body couldn't stop shaking.

"You two! Separate them and take the cub to the cages. And take my daughter to a doctor, I can't have her dead yet." Hae In growled, blood oozing out of his cheek from the slash Taehyung gave him. Two guards hastily walked over, but Taehyung held Y/n in his arms.

"D-Don't touch her!" Taehyung roared, his pupils slowly starting to dilate. His fangs grew as he held her bloody body close towards him. His eyes narrowed and his claws retracted, his ears pinned back towards his head. An alarming roar erupted his small throat causing not only the two guards but also Hae In to freeze.

"Don't come close!" Taehyung screamed, nearly his scream sounding like another roar. Hae In roughly wipes the blood oozing out of his cheek and narrowed his eyes at the small lion.

"Do you want her dead then? You fool! At that rate she'll die from blood loss! Let my men grab her so she can get medical attention!" Hae in snapped. Taehyung's golden eyes glared at him, his fangs appearing as he spoke.

"But why would you want to help her?! Your the one that shot her!" Taehyung growled, his teeth bared.

"Because I can't have her dead yet! Now shut up and listen you fool! Or she would really be dead!" Hae In growled back. Taehyung's eyes slowly return back to normal, but his grip didn't even loosen around his older sister. He nudged his cheek against her head as tears left his cheeks once again. His breath shuddering, as the two guards without much force, took her bloody body away. He sniffled, his body too weak to fight back. He watched the one man take her away, while the other force him to stand up. The man lightly shoved Taehyung towards Hae In, but appeared that Taehyung was far too distracted.

"She'll be alright, r-right?" Taehyung asked, his eyes still trailing the man who held his sister. Hae In for once felt his own heart grow heavy, his own eyes glancing at his daughter bloody body, her breathing so shallow and light. Hae In didn't reply to him but his eyes said something else. He placed his hands behind his back before walking forward.

"You know where to take him." Hae In said, not even glancing at the lion cub. But Taehyung didn't even resist, his eyes solely focused on his older sister. His eyes red and puffy, his cheeks pink. He licked his dry lips before his eyes were tore away from his older sister and landed on the cold man. Completely unaware of the emotions that swirled inside him.

🐺🐺🐺🐺

Y/n woke up in cold sweat, her heart beating harshly against her chest. The beating of a heart monitor beeped rapidly from her beating heart. She squirmed and threw her hands around, but the cords stopped her. She tried to scream but all it came out was small noises.

"She's up!" She heard someone yell, but her first instinct was to look for Taehyung. Her eyes were wide and hastily looking around the room.

"T-Taehyung!" Y/n squawked, throwing her arms around.

"Ms Y/n! Please calm down!" A voice tried to soothe her, but she only shook her head. Crying out for Taehyung, tears now running down her cheeks.

"Taehyung! Where are you! Baby TAE!" She screamed. Her lungs burned, her throat dried from the lack of water she had. She thrashed her arms around like a crazy person. Her eyes widen in fear. Finally someone walked in and immediately she calmed down. There Taehyung was running towards her, his arms going around her body. Y/n immediately relax, her arms going around the boy.

"Shh calm down Noona. It's okay, no need to cry. I'm here." Taehyung whispered, nudging his head against hers in a soothing manner. Y/n looked at him, her heart finally relaxing. She squeezed the boy in a tight embrace making sure this wasn't some dream. A soft purr escaped his throat as he held her. Y/n rolled her eyes back and immediately fell asleep again.

"This is the third time she does this. Is she okay doctor?" Taehyung asked, turning his head to meet a man with brown hair that was slick towards the side. His lips rosy and his skin fairly pale. He was wearing a regular long sleeve shirt that was rolled up to his elbows. And dress pants with black dress shoes. He laid his chin in the palm of his hand, he leaned forward on the chair with stress lingering on his face.

"Honestly Tae, I'm not sure. It appears she keeps waking up from the moment and keeps replaying in her head. Who knows how long this would last." The doctor stated, pushing his glasses upwards. Taehyung sighed and sat next to his sleeping sister. He gently pulled the covers to her chest and stared at her small form. Her chest heave up and down as if she had trouble breathing.

"Father is going to only let be with her until she recovers. But I have a feeling it won't be long until he gets rid of me. Do you know why he's keeping Noona alive?" Taehyung asked, his fingers holding tightly onto hers. The doctor shrugged, running his fingers through his hair.

"Honestly Taehyung I'm not sure. I'm just his brother, and I don't know anything about him. Not until he contact me a week ago about this. I didn't even know he had a daughter and a wife." The man sighed, rubbing his forehead. Taehyung looked down and nodded.

"But from what I can tell is that even though I know nothing of my brother, he does seem to care about his daughter." The doctor stated. Taehyung's ears perked at the sound of his voice. He furrowed his eyebrows not really sure if he was kidding or not. That was complete contrast to what Y/n told him and complete contrast to what he's done to her.

"Though still he won't tell me how she even end up like this, I have a strong feeling he caused this. He's always been twisted about his morals. I'm not sure what he's doing or anything, but he seems to care for her in a werid twisted away." The doctor said, sighing afterwards.

"And my niece must be the most incredible being if she considers a hybrid her brother. Not a lot of people respect hybrids, and by the looks of it, Hae In doesn't either. But man Y/n must be a very special person."

Taehyung nodded a long his words with a proud smile. He ran his fingers through her hair. Y/n was finally breathing in a normal rate, her lips slightly parted. Her eyes looked relax and were fluttered close.

"Oh! I forgot to ask! What's your name doctor?"

"Lee Jug Suk, I should've introduced myself before. I'm his younger brother." Jug Suk smiled kindly. Taehyung gave him a silly grin before the door was open. Everyone tense hearing those boots thud on the ground. Hae In walked in with a cold expression, he quickly glance at Y/n before setting his cold eyes onto his brother.

"Is there any set date for her to wake up properly?" Hae in asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Jug Suk sighed, rubbing his temple. This had to be about the fifth time he's asked him that very day.

"Brother I've told you already, I don't know when she'll awake up. It all depends on the way her body is responding. I can't do anything more. It appears her brain is still in flight or fight mode and I can't do much about it." He explained. Hae In scoffed, glaring at the younger man.

"Then what's the point of having you here if all your going to do is sit around!" He roared. Jug Suk stood up, anger fuming him.

"I don't have much of a choice! My niece is nearly dying in the hospital bed! Trust me I'm not happy about this either! The fact I can't do much and just wait until she wakes up!" Jug Suk yelled, his hands gesturing towards Y/n's limp body. Taehyung quivered and hid his face into her neck, the yelling startled him.

"Geez Jug Suk! Then do your dang job right! If you care about her soo much like you claim, then do it right!" Hae in barked.

"I already told you, I'm doing the best I can!" Jug Suk cried out, running his fingers in frustration through his brown locks. Hae In snorted before turning his heel.

"Then try harder, I need that little boy gone and I need Y/n awake by next week!" He barked before shutting the door close. Taehyung flinched, burying his face into her neck, her scent and warmth easily bringing him ease.

"I'm sorry Tae, I'll try harder for your sister to wake up." Jug Suk sighed as he flopped on his chair. Taehyung didn't even move from his spot, he only spoke.

"It's alright. Noona is going to be fine, I just know it."

🐺🐺🐺🐺

Five days has passed, and still Y/n showed no signs of waking up. Given she still had her random episodes, but she was never fully awake. And today was no expectation, Taehyung was closed to her. His hands fixing the flowers he just picked out for her. Her slow breathing and the beeping heart monitor was the only thing heard. Taehyung's tail swayed behind him as he was too lost in fixing the purple lavenders and white roses. His ears twitched hearing the doors open. He turned his head only to met the tired doctor. Jug Suk slumped in his chair with a tired sigh.

"Good morning Dr Lee." Taehyung greeted, his golden eyes now fixed on the lavenders. Jug Suk only hummed at his greeting before picking his clipboard.

"Alright let's see how my niece is doing." He murmured and rose from his stop to check up on Y/n. Taehyung stood on his spot, bouncing on his heels with a small smile dancing on his lips. His sister looked calm and peaceful contrast from her episodes.

"Alrighty, she's okay. Though nothing much has changed. Hopefully she wakes up soon. I only have two days before my brother comes in again." Jug Suk sighed. Taehyung lost his smile and rubbed his forearm with a sad nod.

"Do you think...Noona hates me?" Taehyung asked, his voice soft and barely audible. Jug Suk stopped his movements and stared at the shy boy. His gaze soften.

"No of course not. Why would you think that?" Jug Suk asked, sitting back down on his chair. His brown eyes still locked at the lion cub. Taehyung played with his tail, his ears pinning back.

"Because bad stuff happen ever since I stayed with her. He took momma away, then Y/n away, then Auntie Snow away. Y/n gets hurt a lot because of me, all because she wants to see me. She tries to hide it, but I can see all the bruises, all the scratches and slashes she gets because of me. But she's smiled widely and pretends everything's fine." Taehyung sniffled, his shaking hands gripped his own tail.

"I just think she would hate me. And now look, she's in a coma with a gun shot to the stomach. All because of me." Taehyung whispered, tears now clouding his vision.

"I don't think she hates you. If anything she's doing everything to be with you. It sounds like she truly cares about you. Besides those kind of people, are the best kind of people. Given she's been through so much, and any normal person would have so much trauma. But her, she picked herself each time she fell, going even harder just to achieve her goal of seeing you. I'm sure she doesn't hate you." Jug Suk smiled. Taehyung looked up at the doctor, his golden eyes wide but a soon smile appeared on his cheeks. But the moment was interrupted with the door being opened.

"Jug Suk!" That booming voice startled both. Two men walked in right behind him. The doctor stood up hearing his name, he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes brother?"

"Change of plans, I'll be taking Taehyung and you will notified me when Y/n awakes." Hae In said, his voice blank as he snapped his fingers the two man harshly took Taehyung's forearm without a second thought. Taehyung let out a little growl before squirming in their grasp.

"Wait! He needs to stay! Y/n doesn't calm down unless she sees him! And I'm not sure how she'll be if she wakes up entirely without him!" Jug Suk said hastily. He wasn't lying per say but that was only merely half of the truth. But anything to keep Taehyung safe.

"Well figure something out then, I'm taking him away." Hae In snapped. Taehyung growled and squirmed to be released. His teeth bared as his pupils dilate, his claws retracted. The man merely held his forearm tighter causing another growl. He then dragged Taehyung near Hae In with ease. The another man following behind closely.

"No it's not that simple! He needs to be here! She'll become unstable without him! Don't you want her to recover!?" The doctor shouted. Hae In's eyes flickered towards him with a strong glare, but it soon spread into a sly smirk.

"If anything I don't really care for her. I just need her alive because she really is my only offspring. I don't want anyone else who isn't my blood run my company. And her mother refuses to do anything about the fact Y/n is a girl. So I'm running out of options here, I just need her to recover to continue her training." Hae In explained, glancing at his wristwatch. Jug suk looked at his younger brother stunned. Taehyung eyes return to normal, his golden eyes trailing over towards Y/n. His own heart sinking.

"Y/n probably feels as if no one really loves her." Taehyung whispered, yet again tears clouding his vision. Hae in glanced at the boy with a shrug, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well I didn't ask her to be born. And I'm sure as hell know she didn't want to be born either. But let that be her problem, besides women shouldn't even talk and remain silent." Hae In said, now his eyes flickering towards his brother.

"I'm not some stupid kid you thought I was. Now if you excuse me," Hae In open the door and left the room. Taehyung was harshly pushed outside of the room with the two men following behind. It was quickly shut before the doctor snapped out of his daze. He hastily ran and open the door, poking his head out. There Taehyung was being shoved harshly, his golden eyes sparkling with tears as he looked at the doctors direction.

"Please! Take care of Noona! And let Noona know I love her!" Taehyung yelled with a loud sob afterwards. The doctor nodded his own tears starting to fall as well.

"I will!"

🐺🐺🐺🐺

Y/n looked at the doctor dazed, her fingers gripping harshly at her blankets. Tears spilling from her cheeks as the doctor just explained everything. Y/n woke up only a day later to hear the news. Her little brother was officially taken away from her. The last thing that was holding her together, was taken away from her.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything. My brother also trapped me here so I'm not allow to leave since I know too much. I'm sorry I failed you and Taehyung." The doctor sighed, his eyes looking down. Y/n shook her head, taking a deep breath before looking up at her uncle.

"N-No it's okay. You didn't. I'm g-glad Taehyung was by my side. If anything, I feel like he would grow to hate for the way things ended up. I promised him so many things, but I only failed him." Y/n whispered, her hand resting on her bandaged stomach. Jug Suk wanted to reassure her but of course, it was interrupted by her father. Y/n shook on the mattress, her eyes wide as he walked in through the door. A sick grin plastered on his lips.

"Ah! Wonderful! So it is true then! My daughter is truly awake! Well done doctor, a day early! Now discharge her." Hae In declared. Jug Suk hastily shook his head and stood in front of Y/n to block his view.

"Sorry Hae In, but she hasn't even recover from her injury yet. It takes months for a gun wound to heal. She's lucky all it did was pierce through her skin and no organs were damage." Jug Suk said. Hae In huffed, clenching his jaw.

"Is this true? Or are you making some stupid excuse like for that lion cub?" Hae In snapped. But Jug Suk remained unfazed, keeping his posture and his head high.

"I would never lie about health. She's healing, she can barely stand up. All she can do right now is sit up at most. She needs lots of rest in order for her to recover. It's not something you can simply buy with money, it takes time." Jug Suk growled at the end of sentence. Hae In's eyebrow twitched at his bold statement.

"Fine then. But if I find out your lying, blood related or not, I'll kill you." Hae In growled and turned his heel, slamming the door behind him. Y/n's eyes were wide once again, her fingers clutching tighter on the blanket. Jug Suk sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Uncle? Is everything-"

"Yes it's fine. Look at most you'll be healed by the end of the month. It's September right now, so by the beginning of October, you'll be healed. Not 100% so you would have to be careful. You'll still experience pains especially from your stomach."

"Uncle what are you talking-"

"Your 14 correct? Or going to be 14? You should be fine for a little bit, the only thing is winter is going to approach. I'm not even sure how you'll survive. No no, no time for negativity. You'll be okay, hopefully by then you'll find a warm place to take you in. I would say go to the police, but they don't give a damn about hybrids and won't believe some teenager." Jug Suk rambled, pacing around the room. Y/n furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Uncle!-"

"It's going to be fine, your a strong girl you dealt with hell from her own father. All I want you is to be free from this wicked place." Jug Suk sighed before finally looking at the small girl. Y/n looked at her uncle in pure confusion.

"Uncle I don't understand." Jug suk gave a small smile, he walked over towards her. He placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm going to help you escape. You don't deserve this hell. At the end of the month, when your able to walk around, I'll led you out. For the time being rest, I'll handle the rest." Jug Suk explained. Y/n looked at him with beaming eyes but they soon shrink realizing Taehyung won't be there with her.

"But why didn't you do that earlier for Tae?" Y/n asked.

"He wouldn't let me. He said he refused to leave without you. By then it was already a week without any progress of you waking up."

Y/n played with the blanket, her eyes still set on the floor. She swallowed before nodding among his words.

"Once your free and well, look for him. But for now rest up, you'll need the strength."

🐺🐺🐺🐺

Month passed a lot faster than Y/n hoped. She was nervous, today was the day she finally leaves. For weeks her father would barge in and Y/n had to act as weak as a baby deer. But reality, she was able to walk and run. But nothing too extreme. Her body was still weak compared to normal. Her stomach was especially sensitive.

"Alright Y/n, I packed everything in this bag. At midnight I'll sneak you out. Make sure you have everything." Jug Suk whispered, gesturing towards the bag that hid under her bed. Y/n nodded, swallowing her nervous down her throat. She sat on her bed, her hands nervous hugged herself.

"It's going to be okay. You'll be fine." Jug Suk whispered, leaning over to put his hand on her shoulder. Y/n nodded slowly and laid back down on the bed. For the last time she'll pretend how weak she is. Just one cue, her father walked in with loud steps. Jug Suk leaned back as if he was trying to check her vitals.

"Any progress?"

"Well how she can sit up more properly and can stand. Other then that she can't do much. Walking isn't even an option yet. But with this progress she should be heard by the end of the month." Jug Suk said with a monotone voice. Y/n sat up, but her eyes averted on the ground. Still the presence of her father shook her to her core. She trembled knowing his cold eyes were looking straight at her.

"Good. I expected it. Now carry on I more important business to attend." Hae in stated with a shrug, he once again walk through the door with loud steps. Once he disappeared, Jug Suk pet Y/n's head.

"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry he's gone, and after today you would never have to deal with him." Jug Suk whispered.

"I know. I-I don't why, but my b-body just reacts o-one it's own." Y/n shuddered with a slight whimper.

"He causes trauma, your brain is just reacting as if your body is in danger. That's probably would he caused you anyway. Don't worry, hopefully you'll find someone who can ease it. For now hurry and get ready, we're leaving a lot sooner." Jug Suk urged. Y/n nodded and forced herself up.

She hastily went under the bed and grabbed the spare of clothes. Jug Suk turned around for her to change. Y/n hastily put her shirt and sweatshirt shirt one, then put her jeans one. She grabbed her converse and put them one, double knotted them. She swing the bag over her shoulder and fixed her messy hair I to a pony tail.

"I'm ready uncle."

Jug Suk turned and nodded, he motion for her to follow him. Y/n hastily followed, her heart drumming against her ears. Her uncle poked his head out from the doorframe, seeing if the coast is clear. Once clear, he slowly started to move forward. Y/n followed behind as quiet as possible. Her uncle searched through the large hallways before going down a set of stairs. The kitchen. He heading towards the kitchen. Luckily, no one seem present. Jug Suk rushes into the kitchen with Y/n following behind him.

"Okay grab some food. Hurry. The exit is just round the corner. Also be very quiet." Jug Suk whispered, his eyes keep watch. Y/n didn't even wait another second as she searched through the cabinets for food. Canned goods, bread, water, anything to help her survive the winter. Once done, she once again swing the bag over her shoulder. She then shut the cabinets as quiet as possible.

"Done?"

"Yeah. Uncle, isn't there still a wall we have to get over?" Y/n whispered. Jug Suk nodded and walked ahead of her as she followed. They went around the corner, and sure enough the exit was right there. Jug Suk lightly pushed the door before gesturing her to go first. Y/n walked through the door and waited for her uncle to catch up.

"But father put barb wires on the top so I would escape again. How am I supposed to climb over it?" Y/n asked, the September air flowing among her face. It was lightly chilly, but everything was changing color. Everything was getting prepared for winter.

"Well one, I didn't even want you to climb over. Your wound isn't properly healed yet. Two, I climbed earlier and cut the wire." Jug Suk grinned, walking over towards the tree Y/n knew all too well. Sure enough, though barely visible, the wire was cut enough for her to slip through. Y/n let a smile slip pass her lips. Her mind replying the amount of times she slipped through those walls. Even the first time she sneak Taehyung over those walls.

"Hurry now, your father is almost done with his business call." Her uncle urged. Y/n snapped back into reality before nodding. She grabbed the branch and pushed herself upwards. A sting came from the lack of exercise she has. She painted slightly heavy before grabbing another branch and push her more upwards. She placed her foot on the wrong branch and slipped, landing on a branch on her stomach. She heaved, and gasp. Her fingers gripping tightly onto the branch. Tears started to sting her eyes.

"Y/n are you okay?!" Her uncle called out worriedly. Y/n only nodded weakly, her trembling arms pushing her upwards. She shakily grabbed another branch and pushed herself even more. By the time she reached the time, she was panting heavily, her hand shakily on her stomach. It hurt like someone was punching her repeatedly on the bruise or at least she thought it was bruise. She didn't even want to look at it.

"Yes! Now go Y/n!" Jug Suk shouted with a beaming smile. Y/n looked at her uncle with a big smile, though her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Now go! Go and never look back!" Her uncle shouted again, his smile never leaving. Y/n nodded and waved.

"Bye Uncle!" Y/n shouted back. Her uncle waved before she jumped off the wall. Yet again her body was used to this type of fall. She landed on her feet before running forward, her legs slightly aching from the fall. Y/n laughed feeling the sweet air hit her cheeks. Her stomach burned from earlier but she merely waved it off. The euphoric feeling washing away any pain she had. She giggled and ran towards the sidewalk. She ran and ran, not even looking back at the large mansion.

"Good bye you stupid house!" Y/n screamed and ran faster down the sidewalk, an overwhelming joy rushed through her veins. She was free, finally. Now to search for her brother and mother. She was now more determined more than ever. Y/n wasn't playing on giving up, not when she was so close.

"I'll find you, just wait a little longer Taehyung."

I was trying to write longer and I think I got tooo carried away 😳 this is really a long chapter, the most I ever written.
