Namjoon slowly looks up at Haejoon, who raises an eyebrow at him. There's an unknown fire in his eyes, a green flame that burns brighter with every closed up thought.

He doesn't say a single word. He only raises his hands, grasping onto his hood and slides it off, revealing his horns.

"Namjoon, what are you doing? You know that showing your possession without permission is forbidden." Haejoon sighs.

Namjoon growls at her. "I don't care. This nice guy... I should never have taken this act. I should have kept my anger and stayed that way. If I never refused my Wrath I would have never gotten this far."

"This isn't the answer-"

"Than what is, Haejoon?" Namjoon snarls at her. "Is living life as a demonic food item for your own possession the answer?" He scoffs, rubbing his neck. "I suppose that's an innocent way of thinking."

"What happened, Namjoon?" Haejoon asks, begging the younger demon to think with reason, but he's fallen far to deep.

"What happened?" Namjoon lets out a burst of dark laughter, his tail swaying with amusement at how worried Haejoon sounds for him. "Have you ever been afraid of love?"

"Love?"

"That other feeling... That feeling that eats you out from inside, just as Wrath does. You know? That human can be a lot worth to me. She can be my own, my brothers right at my feet, a war just as it belongs."

"Namjoon, just think-"

"Think about what?" Namjoon grins, baring his now sharp rows of teeth. "Because I see a new future, Haejoon. A future where I am the only one on the throne. Where my brothers beg for me and bow to me. Where this lovely human is my breeding toy so I can make a heir."

"Humans are no toys-"

"Are you really implying that I'll keep her human? Even a donkey can see that she's much more valuable to me." Namjoon growls. "She will be my queen. She will rule alongside with me, fight with me alongside everyone as their leader as the war approaches. This is a new age, and I'm ready to pursue that outcome."

"Namjoon,-"

"Shut up." Namjoon growls. "This is my future. If any of my brothers take her from me, it's them who will be tortured. The human will be mine, her mortal life will end and I will make sure that she will become as much of a dark possession as I am. I will make sure she will rule the Devildom with power. My brothers... their one ticket to the Celestial Realm... my queen."

He begins to laugh, his Wrath taking a toll on him.

"They will never be able to go back!"

"Kim Namjoon!"

Namjoon sends her a deadly glare, causing Haejoon to flinch. She's seen Wrath in him, but never like this.

Never this determined... this strong...

Bloodthirsty.

Jungkook has fallen asleep on my lap. He dosed off a few minutes ago, complaining about the enemy Mercy.

He was trying to make friends since he felt bad, and then the enemy Mercy suddenly shot him to death, making him feel sad.

The poor demon has been so stressed...

I silently lay Jungkook down on his bed, making sure he's comfortable before I place a soft kiss on his forehead.

I stroke his hair back slightly, sighing deeply. He's so pretty when he's asleep. So relaxed...

I silently close the door of his room. I haven't seen Yoongi yet. I probably should go and talk to him. School time is busy and everyone is gone anyway.

I quickly hop onto the stairs and feel around for the switch, noticing the bump in the wall.

"Yeah... it broke." I hear Yoongi chuckle. "Thanks for coming."

"I had to." I say softly, feeling around the walls until I can feel the barrier of the golden shimmering cage. "I promised."

I can't see him... It's a shame.

"How are you holding up?" I ask.

"Eh..." He chuckles. "Could be moving a lot more. I'll be dead by the end of the century... Or at least, I hope."

"Why?"

"Seokjin designed this to drain me of my powers." Yoongi answers. "I can barely stand up."

"Than why are you in here?" I ask softly. "Why do you need me?"

"Why did you agree to help me?" He counters. "We all have our reasons, don't we?"

"But why...? Am I helping evil?"

"I'm a pureblood demon, Jaein. I am evil. A threat to Seokjin's throne and his ticket to the Celestial Realm."

"What is it with him and the Celestial Realm?"

"He wants to go back." Yoongi scoffs. "As if that place is better than here."

I sigh, about to ask another thing, when Yoongi quickly hushes me.

"Listen..." He whispers.

I stay quiet, but my body freezes when I hear the stairs creak, footsteps coming closer and closer.

"Hide." Yoongi quickly growls at me.

I quickly scramble to a corner. I can't see anything until a small fire is lit.

I instantly recognize the face...

The flames flicker in the palm of his large hand, his scowl set in the firing flames.

"You really don't know how to stop, do you?" I hear Yoongi snarl.

"I don't need to stop this. It will be a matter of time before you can be released."

"And when will that be, brother?" Yoongi growls. "When you've absorbed me?"

"Stop whining."

"Stop destroying lives. You're disappointing Baekhyun."

"Baekhyun is only a demon standing in my way. Why do you think I do his dirty chores?"

"I don't know. You're his mutt."

"I'm merely a temporary servant. Soon he will be mine."

"Just because I don't want the throne does not mean you have to take it from me in such a cruel way. You want to be an angel so badly, at this rate you will never let it go."

"Am I planning to? They will never know it's me."

"Your face is too serious to be king."

"I will not be a king, you fool. I will be an emperor."

"Really? Just ask Hoseok. He is next in line after you."

"Does it matter? He will be dead for all I care. I'm the only one that matters. Everyone adores me."

"Except everyone."

"Don't talk to me like that."

"Or what?" Yoongi spits. "Gonna lock me here for another thousand years?"

"I might."

"Fuck off." Yoongi snarls. "Go away. Leave me alone. I'm better off dying alone."

"Taehyung will be disappointed."

"He'll forget me... Just like everyone else." Yoongi sighs. "Like you said many times, we may be twins, but eventually we will part."

"And that's how it will go."

"Than leave if you have nothing good to say."

"I came to tell you something."

Yoongi sighs. "Than say it."

"Namjoon destroyed half of the school. The students will not be able to go there for a while and I will stay home too to take care of Jaein. I will also have a talk with Namjoon. He refuses to pull himself back."

"Why?"

"He claims it's his time."

Yoongi scoffs. "Not my problem. Leave."

"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow, Yoongi."

"Fuck you too."

The flickering flames die down, and I hear footsteps creak back down. After a few seconds, Yoongi whispers.

"Leave... quickly, before he finds out you're here."

I don't argue with him, quickly sliding my way down as well, but right at sight is a mistake...

Namjoon is in his demon form still... His hands grasping at Hoseok's throat, who fights back at him.

"NAMJOON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! GET OFF OF ME!!" Hoseok yells, growling loudly, but Namjoon shows no sign of retreating.

In fact, he slams him against the wall and graspes his throat, making sure he has trouble breathing.

"You... You're one of them. You. Jimin. Everyone who will stand in my way will be put in suffering." Namjoon laughs.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!"

Namjoon lets out a loud roaring laughter, darker than I've ever heard before. This isn't the demon I faced...

My footsteps on the floor announce my presence, and I see a fire within Namjoon's eyes the moment that they turn towards me.

It's fuelling... energizing fire. The horrifying existence of pure bloodthirst.

"Ah..." Namjoon grins. "Perfect timing."

Hoseok's wide pleading eyes stare at me, his chest heaving as he troubles to breathe.

Namjoon doesn't release his grip.

"Since I'm too impatient to wait I'll give a choice." Namjoon growls. "I'm seconds away from slitting your man's little throat. Either you come with me, and he lives, or you refuse, and he dies."

My eyes grow wide at the sound of his voice. Not only the dark fire, but his attitude, behavior... Where is the Namjoon I know...?

What should I do?
