~Y/N POV~

I was in complete darkness, within myself. I was scared to open my eyes to realise the harsh reality. My head was pounding so hard, probably because of the crying I had done. I just hope when I open my eyes, all of that had been another nightmare and it'll all go away. Maybe I was crying in my sleep, there's only one way to find out. I have to open my eyes to see where I am because I don't smell my usual lavender scented candles that I have in my room that usually welcome my nose with the beautiful smell. All I smell right now is vanilla, so I have a strong feeling I'm not in my room. Well here goes nothing, 1....2....3.

I throw open my eyes to take in my surroundings. I most definitely am not in my own bedroom. The bedroom I'm in is pretty with a calm relaxing light grey painted on the wall and a gorgeous chandelier above me.

My tears come crashing down on me on the realisation, that what happened yesterday was real.

Wait! A thought popped into my mind. What happened to Mr Lees body? Where am I ? Who else was there with me?

I threw my body off the bed, only to land on the floor with a thud instead of landing in my feet as planned. Ouch, that did hurt. I took a grip of my ankle and started rubbing. My eyes darted to the bedroom door when I heard multiple footsteps running like a heard of elephants in the hallway. There was whispering on the other side before the door knob turned "I'll go in first, the rest of you stay here, we don't want to overwhelm her." The doorknob moved slightly but a second voice interrupted "aw hyung! I want to see her too. She needs cuddles. Let me in too" there was a sound of a smack followed by a loud "OW!" It was more like a shout than a whisper. "Listen to Namjoon. He's right she'll need a little space and I'm sure knowing y/n she'll have questions" I frowned at the third voice. Knowing me I don't recognise their voices. They all sound like men and as far as I can tell there's 3 of them. The door knob starts to turn again but this time there's no stopping. I start move to backwards while still sitting on the ground, I keep going back until my back hits the small dresser unit behind me. I pull my knees up to my chest and keep my eyes on the door, not sure who's going to come through the door.

The door opens slightly and a body slips through the gap on the door and turns his back to me to close the door behind him. He started to turn slowly towards me, I think he didn't want to move to fast in case he scared me.

Once he fully turned towards me, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was beautiful.

My eyes scanning his face for any reaction. He pulled a slight smile showing he had cute little dimples on either side of his cheek. I next looked straight into his eyes, past his glasses. He tugged a little at his glasses pulling them straight, closer to his eyes. I think he's nervous.

He sighed and then let out a little chuckle, taking a step forward. I panicked and widen my eyes pulling my legs closer to me.

I think he noticed and stood still not coming any closer. He frowned at me and looked down at the floor "I won't hurt you" he paused for a minute, then looked back at me. "Is ok if I sit here?" He gestured to the long seat stool located at the end of the bed. I nodded slowly at him, unsure about what he's going to do or what he has to say. He let out a breath in which seems like relief if I'm not mistaken and takes a seat but he swings his legs to the side of the stool with his body facing me. I take my eyes off him and stare at the floor feeling the man gaze is making me feel uneasy. I shifted a little on my butt, I'm uncomfortable now even more than before "I'm sure you have questions?" I nodded at him, not taking my eyes off the floor. The man let out a loud breath of air and I can see in the corner of my eye, him itching away at a spot on his neck. "Okay shall I just tell you what I think you want to know? Then if you have any questions at the end, just let me know?" I nodded at him once again. I lifted myself off the ground and sat on the bed with my legs crossed, facing him. I took the chance to look at him again, he was watching my every move with a small smile, I think he was glad I was becoming more comfortable with him. I don't know why I was, there was just something about him, I felt safe, warm, protected. I don't think he's a bad guy so far but I'll still keep my guard up. I looked into his eyes and their was admiration in his eyes, I stared back into his light brown glowing eyes. They were stunning, he smiled wider showing off his dimples once more. I still didn't take my eyes off his, even when he started talking I didn't pull away my gaze. "Y/n, as you know, very sadly Mr Lee passed away" my eyes teared up again at his statement "just to let you know, we are burying him not too far away from here and you can join us if you would like. We too knew Kai... I mean Mr Lee" he corrected himself. "We knew him when we were young too, but sadly we lost contact after your father died" I titled my head at him and frown deeply. I don't remember seeing him around Mr Lee and I've known Mr Lee my entire life "we knew your father too, he helped us a lot when our parents were killed" I gasped, so he knows how it feels to lose a parent and if he knew Mr Lee like I did he must be grieving too.

I don't know why but I leaped across the bed and threw my arms around his neck to hug him. I have no idea why I did it, just something within me pushed me to do it. Maybe it was because I thought he'd be grieving just like me and I needed some comfort and he to would like the same thing. I hugged him tight. He was startled at first, but then hugged me back just as tight, burying his face into the side of my neck, inhaling my scent. He seemed content now and not as nervous. I'm glad the hug worked for him, I too felt a little better. I release the hug and sat back away from him but not too far like before. He giggled a little and looked down at the bed "thank you for that y/n, it was nice" I smiled back at him. I'm not ready to talk just yet. He looked back at me, into my eyes "so now I have to say, because Mr Lee is gone, he asked us to protect you from now on and that' you'll now be living here with us" my mouth gaped open with surprise. I have to live with them but I barely know them. I still don't know who they are or how many there is or where this house is. Right now I'm ready for my questions to be heard.

I hold my hand up and shake my head for him to say no more. He widens his eyes, I don't think he was expecting me to respond quite yet "okay now I'm ready to ask questions. First what's your name?" He laughed at me, throwing his head back. His eyes returned to me after with sadness and a small smile "I'm sorry I should of said that first, my names Namjoon" I smiled at him, great I now know his name "hello Namjoon, I'm y/n, but you already know that" I laughed. Even though after what happened with Mr Lee as sad as I still am I can't help but act normal with this guy, it's weird. I stuck my hand out for him to shake and he gladly took it and shook hands with me. There was a tingling sensation between our hands but I just shook of the feeling. I think he felt it too as his smile went wider. That's when I decided to look at the top of his head. Why am I noticing this now, I'm so bad at this, he has ears at the top of his head. They were golden yellow, with white fluffy hair between them, I wanted to touch them so bad, I've never touch a hybrids ears but it be rude to just grab them. I start to fiddle with my fingers as I keep staring at his ears. I think he knew what I wanted to do, he leaned forward towards me with his head bent "would you like to touch them?" I didn't have to be told twice I immediately leaned closer to him and took his ears in between my fingers, stroking them softly. He closed his eyes enjoying the contact, it wasn't long before he started purring. Aw little kitty. My guess is he's a lion hybrid, I'm gonna ask him "what type of hybrid are you?" I whispered, still stroking away at his ears "a lion"  he whispered deeply, his eyes still closed.

After a few minutes I decided that was enough for now. He whined at the loss of contact but maintained his composure. I sat back down ready for my next question "where am I? I know this is your house but where is this house?"  I raised my eyebrow at him waiting for him to tell me. "In the forest not too far away from the lake your father is to take you" he smiled and pulled at his glasses. He must of known that I went to the lake with my father from both my father and Mr Lee since he said he knew them too. I nodded at him, at least I can now visit the lake more often if I'm not stay here from now on. I put up three fingers "okay third question. How many of there are you? I heard at least 3 voice behind the door before you came in, but something tells me there's more than just three" his smile widens again and nodded enthusiastically "yes there's more of us there's 7 of guy all together and we're all men. So you'll be well protected here, don't worry" . I'm worried, well maybe a little, I'll be living with 7 guys. That's a bit much but I guess I won't be alone that way. I nodded at him again. Right now my next question. "Are they hybrids like you?" I looked back up to his ears "yes they are. We're predatory hybrids" oh this is gonna be fun, they're all hybrids and I love hybrids I can get to know more about them now. I smiled widely at him and he just maintained his wide smile.

" I'm guessing I'd Mr Lee told you to look after me then I guess I have to trust you, if he did" he shook his head "you don't have to trust us if you don't but yes it would be nice if you do" he chuckled. I nodded once again.

He stood up from his seat and brushed down his tight black jeans with the palm of his hands. He pointed towards the other door in the bedroom "the bathroom is through there. We all have our own bathroom here, it would be a nightmare if we all shared a bathroom, it would be chaos" he laughed. I laughed along with him, the thought of 7 men trying to squeeze into one bathroom was a funny thought. He then turned towards a glasses designed wardrobe that had black on the sides and black glass handles "we've already got your clothes in the wardrobe and some other of your belongings around the room" I nodded and thanked him. My butt still planted on the bed. He made his way to the door and took a grip of the door knob "wait!" I shouted at him. He spun round to look at me eyes wide open, before he could say anything I asked him another question "when can I meet the others?" I looked down at the floor, now standing on my two feet beside the bed. He laughed again with his hand still on the doorknob "your cute. You can meet the others when ever you like. Just now I know that they're on the other side of the door listening. You can come out when ever you'd like" I smiled at him now looking at his face once more before him turning to leave. I thanked him once again before he fully exited the bedroom. I want to meet the others but right now I want to take a bath and relax before that.

As I entered the bathroom, it was amazing. Beautifully designed. Made the bath and found lavender scent bath bombs under the sink cabinet.

The bath was relaxing soaking in my thoughts. The image of Mr Lee practically dieing in my arms was hard image to get out of. The bath ran red from his blood. I didn't even realise I was still covered in his blood. Namjoon didn't even say anything, maybe he didn't want to upset me and give me that reminder as around him he lift my spirits a little. I got out the bath unable to stay in a bath full of Mr Lees blood and jumped in the warm shower. I looked down as more blood streamed off my body. I broke down again. I squatted down and leaned against the wall. I miss him, it's like losing my father all over again. The memories we shared throughout the years will never be forgotten. I've got pictures of our last day together on my phone. I'll have to ask someone if they know where it is. After crying until no more tears could come out, I decided it's time to step out. I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out the bathroom.

I scanned my eyes around the bathroom to see I'm not alone. It was the hybrid I saw at the lake on my father's anniversary. He lives here too. I stood there watching him from behind as he's bent over in the wardrobe with his butt sticking out. He has a very nice muscular butt that was matching his thick thighs in his washout coloured tight jeans and white T-shirt hugging his back muscles nicely.

He suddenly sprung up standing straight, which startled me and turned in slow mention towards me. His doe eyes were popping out his head at the sight of me in a towel. I have to admit I was a little uncomfortable, so I picked a piece of my wet hair and played with in between my fingers "Hi" I quietly said to him to break them tension. He just stood still staring at me, he looked at me playing with my hair then sprinted towards the bedroom door in a flash and slamming to door behind him shouting "I'm sorry." I didn't know how to react there. He was too fast but I did giggle in the end at his quick sorry as he ran. I laughed even louder when I heard what was next "YAH JUNGKOOK STOP SLAMMING DOORS!! YOU'LL BREAK THEM AGAIN!!" It sounded like it can from down stairs. "IM SORRY JIN!! BUT I DIDNT BREAK THE DOOR LAST TIME IT WAS NAMJOON!!" There was a pause for a minute and the footsteps in the hallway "HEY DONT BRING ME INTO THIS!! IT WAS A ACCIDENT!!" I knew that was Namjoon, he didn't sound to far away. I fell on my bed laughing so loud the whole house might as well hear me, but then being hybrids it's very likely they would of. "Do you hear that she's laughing. HEY GUYS Y/NS LAUGHING!!" Another voice came from behind my door. I stopped my laughing eventually and thought it's probably a good idea to get dressed now.

I dressed into something comfy, it's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon anyway.

Once dressed I decided to step out the comfort of the bedroom and walk into the hallway. The walls were cream coloured with a few hand paintings hanging up on the wall. The painting were beautiful, so much emotions expressed into each painting.

I reached the top of the stairs and hesitated as I heard deep male voices down the stairs talking away. I took a deep breath in and out and slowly step down the steps, watching my feet. I found the kitchen first, it was empty but the voices continued. I walked straight passed the kitchen and down the hallway, following the voices. A loud contagious laugh bounced of the walls and even I chuckled. The voices stopped. I stepped around the corner to be met with the faces of 7 men scattered around the living room area.

All of their eyes were on me. Two faces I recognise, Namjoon and the boy from the lake, that was also in my room. I smiled with my lips curved in and played with a bit of my hair. Namjoon took the first step forward towards me "hey y/n take a seat" he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pushed me to the two seater sofa. On the two seater sofa sat a man with brown hair and a smile that shined so bright, it was contagious. He had rather larger, brown rounded ears on the top of his head, interesting I wonder which animal he could be.

I couldn't help but smile back at the man, before I could even sit down someone tackled me with to the sofa with his arms wrapped around me in a hug. It was kind of awkward put I hugged him back and patted his back "I'm sorry I've been waiting so long to do that" he whispered in my ear with his head buried within my hair.

Namjoon grabbed the back of the hugging mans black T-shirt "Taehyung, come on that's enough!" He held on tighter for a moment and then moved off me with the help of Namjoon practically dragging him off while he whined.

I sat up straight on my seated place and wiped my hands over my black pants. I smiled awkwardly as I watch the other man take a seat in on of the small burgundy leather chair, which was across from me. I felt a tap on my left shoulder, I turned me attention to my left and it was the smiling man "hi y/n I'm Hoseok!!" He beamed waving arms me like a little kid. I giggled and stuck my hand out "hi Hobi, I'm y/n" he grabbed my hand and I felt tingles just like I did with Namjoon but I didn't pay much mind to it as his facial expression was shocked. Did I say something wrong? I looked around the room and they all looked shocked, mouth hanging open and eyes popping out. "I'm sorry did I say something wrong?" They all shook their hands and I look back at Hoseok. He went back to smiling "oh no y/n it's fine, really. You can call me that if you want to" I was relieved "im sorry I didn't know where that name came from it just slipped out" I laughed. He laughed with me but no until after I saw him slip a glance at Namjoon behind me.

Namjoon squeezed into the other side of me and rested his arm behind me on the back of the sofa.  I looked at the other three seater sofa sat three other men, one was the one I already met I just don't know his name. I looked straight at him first. He was sitting in the middle tapping his foot repeatedly off the floor. He knows I'm looking right at him as he side glances me, I'm so gonna tease him. I raise my eyebrow at him "so does peeping tom have a name?" I giggled, tilting my head slightly. He looked at me shocked like he did in the bedroom and the other gasped. A man with broad shoulders and white coloured hair spoke up "Jeon Jungkook! What does she mean by peeing Tom?" He was slapped across his chest and the boy just huffed in response to the slap and placed his hand over his chest. I squinted my eyes at him "oh so he does have a name" I teased, I feel very successful in my mission seeing him get a flustered and uncomfortable. Jungkook looked back at me and squinted his eyes. I have a feeling he's going to challenge me. "Oh yeah, well I'm you weren't complaining when I saw you in just your towel" he smirked, he deep voice ringing in my ears. I was shocked, god smacked shocked, he just told everyone he saw me in a towel. Before I could say anything more a growl erupted from another hybrid sitting next to the man that was hugging me earlier. He was slumped over the leather chair and had his legs resting on the coffee table in the middle with his arms folded across his chest. He was snarling at Jungkook, we both took that as a warning to shut up. I looked back at Jungkook "it's nice to see you again, Jungkook" he smirked back cockily before he talked back folding his arms over chest leaning back against the sofa "likewise, y/n". I giggled, so far so good. I haven't stopped giggling or laughing since I came downstairs. They having warming aura about them, it's nice. Even the other man growling didn't faze me, it didn't seem threatening, well to me anyway.

I looked at the man that slapped Jungkook earlier, he gave a slight wave before slapping his own hand down on his thigh. He gave a little pout "hi y/n, I'm Jin the more handsome hybrid in the house" the rest just snickered at him and he just gave glares back. Out of nowhere he slapped the man on the back of the head. The other man was sitting on the other side of Jungkook, so Jin had to reach around the back to Jungkook to reach his head "hey don't be disrespectful" the other man said his sorry, rubbing the back of his head. He had white fluffy ears sitting on top of his blonde hair and plump lips that I just wanted to kiss all day. He noticed me staring at his lips and smirked "do you like what you see princess" I looked back at him in disbelief and the other men laughed. I squinted my eyes back at him "I'm seen better" I said back. He was not expecting that answer back but quickly shook it off "I'm jimin by the way" I waved back and he did the same.

In the corner of my eye I saw the man that hugged me jumping in his seat. I laughed and turned my attention to him "hi tae, I heard Namjoon say your name earlier" his pointy orange and white coloured ears twitched up straight when I said tae. He smiled with a boxy grin that melted my heart. He started slapping his leg in excitement and looking at Namjoon. I looked back at Namjoon beside me, he was just smiling back at taehyung.

I looked at the grumpy looking hybrid. His feet still on the coffee table, but he had his eyes closed. I decided there and then I'm gonna use my ninja skills on him. Let's see if I can do this with a hybrid. I stood up quietly and pressed a finger to my lips, signalling everyone to keep quiet. They were shaking their heads no but of course I didn't listen. Taehyung tried to grab my arm but I didn't let him. I walked behind the grumpy hybrid and noticed his black rounded ears twitch slightly. So I stood still, holding my breath. I leaned down very very slowly. As slow as I got go, he hasn't moved yet and his ears haven't twitched again. I bring my arms up into the air getting ready to grab the hybrid from behind. I looked at jimin and winked, he almost burst out laughing but covered his mouth but making any sounds.

Then I pounced, I quickly wrapped my arms around the hybrids chest, placing my hands palms down. He jumped as expected and hissed, I could tell his eyes glowed green for a second. I bent down closer to him and whispered "hi kitty. I'm y/n, what's your name?" I looked at the side of his face, a small smiled formed while looking at me from the side. "Yoongi" he whispered, low and deep. I nodded and placed my chin on his shoulder. I felt comfortable enough to do this. It was the first time meeting them but yet it felt like I've known them my whole life.

Yoongi didn't move me, I think he quite liked it. He pushed his hands in his pocket and took something out. It was my phone, he held it up in front of my face. I took my arm that was still resting on his chest and took the phone from him "thank you" i was grateful he kept it safe for me. He nodded "your welcome" his voice still deep as ever.

I then remembered something Namjoon told me "Namjoon..." he looked at me from across the room "when are we going to bury Mr Lee?" The room went silent from the little chatter before. I looked down at the table and Yoongi reached around his head to find mine and patted my head in comfort. Namjoon sighed "we were going to do it tomorrow. Are you wanting to come with us? He'll be put to rest in a beautiful place y/n" I nodded "yes, I'd like to come tomorrow, to say my last goodbye" I felt like I was going to cry again until someone wrapped their arms around my waist and start breathing down my neck. It was taehyung. He smelt of daisies and pine, it was nice. I stood up straight away from Yoongi and hugged taehyung back. The comfort was nice, it was what I needed. I buried my face into his chest taking in his warmth. Mr Lee May have left me but now I have these boys to keep me company.
