Chapter 17
N hears May wake up and he is by her side in an instant.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"I remember everything," she whispers, trembling, this time not because she was cold, "I had wings, an angel cut them off and I fell bleeding to the earth. When I woke up Camille was there, asking if it hurt when he cut off my wings. I told her yes and I passed out again. She woke me up and asked why he cut them off. At the time I thought nothing of it, I was glad to have a friend who seemingly cared. But she didn't, she was just sponging off my energy, which is why I'm always cold now. And when she couldn't sponge off me anymore, she got rid of me. She wiped my mind and I woke up with false memories of my family and of us being friends once. The only real memories I have are of Melissa and you guys," she looks at him but can't see his face in the dark, "I didn't wholly believe you before, with Camille hurting you guys. I lied. But now that I remember, you were right, she's horrible."
"Aw, I can't believe you remember after all these years," a sarcastic voice says from behind them.
N whirls, pushing May behind him, away from Camille. She frowns at N, then he's outside of May's door. He bangs on it, waking the others up.
"N-hyung," Ken mumbles, coming out of his room in just boxers, "I know May's your mate, but if she locked her door she probably wants some alone time."
"Yeah, go back to sleep," Ravi adds, yawning.
"May's in there alone with Camille!" N growls at them and continues to bang on the door.
Both of them look at each other, then rush over to the door.
"May!" Ken calls frantically.
Ravi tries to teleport into the room, he fails and is instead thrown over the railing to the floor below. He lands with a loud thud, bringing the others out of their rooms. They hear May begging and her mini shriek.
"MAY!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nice to see you again May," Camille sneers.
"Camille," she hisses, surprised at the sound of her own voice, "What do you want?"
"You're strong again, I want to sponge off your energy of course," she answers cheerfully.
"Go find someone else, I'm not interested."
Camille chuckles, "May Day, you don't really have a choice."
May bristles at the name, "Don't call me that."
Camille pouts, "Why, remind you of mommy and daddy? Well, FAKE mommy and daddy?"
"I won't let you do that again," May hisses and feels something in her body change.
It obviously scares Camille, she took a step back. May can see the fear in her eyes, then the arogance returns.
"I'm not scared of this form of you," she scoffs, "Even if you attack me, I have a plan. You love them over me and even your family?"
"Yeah."
The other girl smiles, "Then you could never hurt one of them, or cause them to be hurt?"
"Yeah?" May answers, confused.
"Did that include Hyuk?"
"What?" May is taken aback.
"Did. That. Include. Hyuk?" Camille spells out.
"Of course it does," May snaps.
"Good, Hyuk, do it," Camille orders and she feels herself lifted off the ground by strong hands. She shrieks in surprise, but her mouth is covered and she hears the soft click of fangs behind her ear.
"I'm sorry," he whispers so quietly that if he hadn't been whispering right next to her ear she wouldn't of hears him. He extends her neck forcefully but not painfully.
"Now, if you fight while I 'feed'," she air quotes that word, "I will punish Hyuk so severely that if he were human he'd die. Hell, if he didn't have the ability to heal himself from any wound no matter how gruesome, he'd die even as a vampire."
She feels him tense, he must've already been tortured. Camille approaches and places both of her hands on the side of May's head. She tilts back her head and her eyes become hollow as she drains May's energy. May feels it, it's intense but not painful. At the edge of her mind, she hears that small little voice.
*That's it Mina, I'm taking over. This is not going to happen again.*
*No!* May argues *If you take over Hyuk will get hurt!*
*I don't care about Hyuk, if you remember everything Mina, you know I don't have a conscience. I only care about me."
The voice takes over her body. As usual, the transition is quick and painless.
"What?" Camille squeals as the other side of May comes out.
May could see what she was doing, but she was helpless to stop her body from flinging Camille across the room into the full length mirror. It shatters and Camille stands, covered in blood, snarling. May flips Hyuk over her shoulder and he breaks the floor on impact. Internally, May gasps, he looked horrible and greyish. His fangs weren't as white as they used to be. Camille snarls and grabs his shoulder, yanking him up. Her nails were long claws that dug into his shoulder; he cries out in pain. She makes him disappear, then goes up to her and looks at her in the eye. She smiles sinisterly and slashes May's neck with a long shard of glass from the mirror.
"I'll meet you again soon, May," she says her name with scorn, "Maybe next time you'll be more... cooperative." She laughs cruelly and disappears.
*My work here is done.*
*You just got Hyuk killed!*
*Mina, you should know by now that I don't care, besides, I only got him tortured not killed.*
*That's worse!*
May feels the voice give back her body, this process was painful. She drops into scattered broken glass unconscious as the boys rush in, N leading them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her blood's scent hits N as soon as the door is opened. His fangs pierce his lower lip as he runs over to her. Everyone except Leo hangs back. Her neck had been cut and was covered. Leo looks at it and sighs in relief, it wasn't deep, the artery had just barely been grazed. He presses his hands over the wound to slow the bleeding. N drops to his knees and stares at the blood.
Carefully, he touches her neck, his fingers come back covered in her blood. Hongbin looses control and starts to go after her before Ravi or Ken can grab him back. N stops him and viciously throws him back. He licks his fingers, then leans down and licks her soaked neck. Leo moves his hands away He continues to lick it until the blood is cleared away. When it's gone, so is the cut. He stares, there wasn't even a scar. Only something supernatural could heal that fast. What was she? She groans and sits up, looking around frantically.
"Where's Hyuk?" She cries, gripping N's shoulders, "He was here, where is he."
"Hyuk is dead," N answers gently.
"No, Camille saved him. Hyuk's alive!"
