Jimin ran up the stairs to his room, locking the door before sitting on the edge of his bed.
He felt bad for lying to them, keeping things a secret, but since he met Yoongi he became intrigued by his world and wanted to learn more. So he had stood at the edge of those basement stairs, using his phone as a flashlight as he scanned the room for the big book his mom told him never to read.
Jimin had found two books that day actually- the big book and a small journal - it was a dark leather bound book- and it seemed to be very old, and stuffed full of paper. Jimin decided to run in, take both books, then run out. He didn't go back to the basement until today - when Yoongi got here.
There was a knock at his door, pulling him into reality and away from his thoughts. He stood up and placed his hand on the door knob - debating wether he should open the door and face whoever's on the other side or stay in his room and pretend he didn't hear them.
"Jimin I know you're there, I can hear you breathing." It was Yoongi. "N-no. Go away."
"Jimin, seriously don't make me pick the lock." Namjoon looked at him to which he mouth 'what the hell,man?'
"What? Sometimes I forget my door locks from the inside." He whispered
The door was unlocked and opened. Jimin stood there, his eyes casted downwards and he looked like he could burst into tears any second- which he did.
He threw himself into Yoongi's arms - wrapping his own around the older's neck.
"I'msorryItookthebookandit'sinmyroomanditookasmalljournaltooandIguessitwastranslationnotes-"Yoongi cut him off.
"Jimin," He pulled away slightly, wiping Jimin's tears. "I need you to repeat yourself, okay?" Jimin nodded before burying his face between the older's neck and shoulder, he mumbled his words into Yoongi's ears. When he finished he pulled away and held Jimin at his shoulders.
"I need you to give me everything,because right now.." He cupped Jimin's face in his hands. "I'm concerned about your well being." He stroked the younger's cheeks with the pad of his thumbs.
He placed his forehead against Jimin's.
"Jiminie... I need you to be honest with me.. Why did you take the book?"
"I-..I took the book to find out how my mom died...And to find out about this," He placed his hand above his collarbone. "It wasn't there when I woke up but... It was there a couple hours later." Yoongi unbuttioned Jimin's shirt- Jimin went to protest but was told to shut up.
The older pushed the shirt off Jimin's shoulder's and stared at the mark. He mumbled an 'oh my fuck' under his breath.
Jimin's injury was dark coloured and had the start of black veins coming out of it.
"Okay, we need to find that book. Now."

Hoseok and Taehyung - who was now covered in blood - his own and his enemies sat talking outside by the river while the vampire wiped away the red.
"You were so reckless! You're lucky not many people got hurt-!"
"If you're only going to lecture me, don't. You're only wasting my time and your breath. So save it." He placed the cloth in the bucket filled with water - not wanting to pollute the stream of any poisionus venom he could have in his body.
"The Dark Knights-"
"Aren't a joke. I know! It's how your father got himself killed! And now they're after me! They're - under their master's control want all the information they can get out of me. They want to know every nook and crany of this place, they wanna know everyone I've thrown in jail for the over a century and half! They want to know about you, about Yoongi, about that mortal you met and told me about. All I am to them is a sack of memories and they want every single one of them.." He took a breath then spoke again. "I was reckless, I know. I was careless, I know. But the Dark Knight - their blades are filled with poision - very powerful poision and if injuried.. Could die within the next three days without an anitdote."
Their eyes finally met and Hoseok looked away with a sigh. "Hoseokie.. Please.. The whole city needs you... Like they needed Voldemort.. Are you ready to open Shoppe full time?"
The younger boy shrugged. "Don't you think we should work on the antidotes and worry about that later? A wizard is supposed to protect people, I'm supposed to protect people. And I'm supposed to serve the King and Queen, I'm supposed help people.."
"I'm aware, I was always around when you were a little kid, your father casted a spell on me to make me appear human to you and Yoongi, I always heard you and him discussing the duty of a wizard." He ran his hand Hoseok's hair. "You've been around my whole life..? H-how come I don't remember you? At all?"
"I asked Voldemort to replace those memories...Instead me in them,-"
"He was there.." Taehyung nodded. Hoseok smacked his chest.
Hard.
"Asshole." He smacked him again. And again. And again. Saying 'asshole' everytime he did.
Taehyung grabbed his wrists after the tenth 'asshole'
"Why are you so mad at me?"
"Those were my favourite memories! I always knew something felt off about them! Why did you want me to forget you existed..?"
"Because... I, one day, wanted you to see me in my own skin.. Not the skin of what I used to be.."
"Taehyungie-"
They heard the bell of war- what they liked to call it since it was only rung when danger was near. Hoseok and Taehyung ran into the city to see more Dark Knights in the town.
"I hope they enjoy their visit because it's about to get cut short." With that Taehyung ran off into battle, Hoseok sighed. Then became curious. What did my father do when he hunted with Taehyungie? Did he fight like Taehyung did..? Or..?
Simple. Magic.
D-dad?
Yes, you wanted contact and here it is. I would've talked to you earlier but you were talking with Taehyung. I didn't want to interupt that..Use your magic. Help Taehyung.
Dad wait!
Goodbye Hoseok.
Dad...
Hoseok ran in to help the vampire, using all the strenth he had.

They all sat at the dining table. They had just finsihed diner and it was getting late. Jimin looked at Jin, Jin looked at Namjoon, and Namjoon looked over at Yoongi then back at Jimin.
"Whatever weird telepathical thing you're trying to do, stop. Just ask me your question, Jiminie." He didn't even look up from the books in front of him.
"Well...I was wondering how long you'll be staying.."
"A few days. I already told Taehyung."
"You did?"
"Yeah, I told him a couple hours ago."
"But you've been here all day?" Namjoon chimed in. "Ah.. Him and I have a telepathical connection. He told me that uhm.. the Dark Knights are in town and-"
"Wait, those things are back?"
"Jimin what do-"
Jimin merely got up, stood next to Yoongi and flipped through the pages of his mother's book.
He stopped when he saw the faded gold page titled 'Dark Knights'
Yoongi pulled Jimin into his lap, "I thought you couldn't read this language because it's 'too hard' " He whined mockingly. Jimin smacked his chest muttering 'shut up.'
To which Yoongi leaned in and whispered in his ear "Only if you make me, Princess."
"Yah! Yoongi-Hyung!" He smacked his Hyung's thigh. "Ow."
"Oh that did not hurt you big baby."
Yoongi rolled his eyes, leaning over Jimin's shoulder he placed an arm around the younger's waist and rested his hand his upper thigh. Yoongi noticed the change in colour on Jimin's face.
"I'm just playing." Yoongi said, retracting his arm. He continued to read over Jimin's shoulder- who still sat there slightly shocked and slightly embarressed - Jimin thought about getting up but just laid back on the older's lap, resting his head on Yoongi's shoulder. The older huffed out a sigh.
"Jimin, I'm not your bed."
"Yeah, thank god for that." he muttered. "You're uncomfortable as fuck."
"Mean."
Jimin pushed himself off Yoongi but was pulled back down. "Stay."
"I'm sorry, I'm not a dog, I don't know that command."
He pushed off Yoongi's lap again and went into the kitchen. A small smile danced on his lips as he read but it soon faded.
Dark Knights are spawns from Hell by the demon Mercer, he was once a mortal but was condemed to death by the King and Queen. His hatred kept his soul bound to the world and he seeked revenge. He used dark magic to create his knights - who would kill everyone in their path with poision tiped weapons. Once injuried your live for about three days-
They heard a glass shatter in the kitchen, they exchanged glances before running in to check on him.
"Jimin!" Yoongi slid across the floor and cupped his face. Tears were forming in his eyes then slipping down his cheeks.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Poision tipped weapons... live about three days-
Yoongi pulled off Jimin's hoddie and shirt. He stared at the wound. The veins of his wound were spreading up to his neck and down his chest.
"Jimin.. I-I.." He turned to Namjoon and Yoongi.
"I need to get him to Hoseok, as soon as I possibly can." He turned to Jimin.
"Does it hurt to breath?" Jimin nodded.
"Okay uhm.." He laid his hand over Jimin's abdomen, the younger not responding as he lightly pressed in. Traveling upwards continuing the same process. He placed on hand on Jimin's neck and the other one on his collarbone. The younger hissed in pain, gritting his teeth as the poision coursed through his veins. Yoongi pulled away.
Taehyung, He tried getting in contact with the vampire. He kept mentally repeating his name, focusing everything into connecting him. Their connection wasn't the stongest when they were in different realms.
Taehyung! Please answer me..
"Can you drive me to Seoul Univeristy?"
"What do you need from there?" Jin inquired.
"There's a portal." He stated.
"There's a portal?" Namjoon repeated.
"Yeah... History, Kim, storage closet."
"That's what that weird thing was.." Jin trailed.
"Don't tell me you touched it.."
"I might've walked around it. And then went to touch it but it shocked me." Yoongi sighed at the man.
A college major, I would've assumed he was smart.
"Let me see," He went to hold out both hands but Jimin grabbed the closest one to him.
"Squeeze my hand if you feel pain, okay Jiminie?" He nodded though the older couldn't see him.
Jin rolled up his sleeve and showed the mark - it was a rose.
"Seems like you were imprinted. Like.. A tattoo you would say. "
"What does it mean?"
"There's a group of people called The Rose, they're rich and they're Elves. They live just outside the city and that's possibly where the portal will lead." Yoongi sighed. "I'll have to run once I pass through I guess."
"Will they attack you?" Namjoon asked.
"They're blind and rely on sound, I'll have to be quiet."
"How'd they do this?" He pointed to the rose mark that took up his forearm. "Magic. They can shoot thunder, fire, ice and summon any living or dead creature they please." Jin frowned.
"Will it ever go away?" Jin inqiried.
"Maybe. But-ah-" Jimin squeezed his hand and his nails dug slightly into the older's skin.
He turned to Jimin and took his other hand pulled him up. "I need to carry you, can you -" Jimin wrapped his arms around Yoongi's neck and his legs around his waist. "Yeah.. that."
"Yoongi," Namjoon turned Yoongi's hand over, his palm facing up. "Did you touch the glass?" The older shook his head.
"Jimin did-" Knowing his question already Jimin nodded, a muffled 'yeah' was heard.

Taehyung and Hoseok stood back to back, covered in blood. Hoseok's magic was building up in his hands.
"There's no end to them.." Hoseok whispered.
"So pessimistic, just like your father." Taehyung chuckled. "When will you get your head out of your ass and realise-"
"Shut up, Taehyung!" Hoseok's flames fired in front of him - setting the Dark Knights on fire.
Taehyung locked eyes with his soulless enemy before thrusting his hand through it's chest and gripping it's heart. The creature tried swinging it's sword but failed when Taehyung squeezed it.
He yanked the soulless being closer.
"Deliever this message to your master: If he wants me, come get me. Leave the village people out of it."
He released it from his grip and shoved him back. The Dark Knight retreated and the rest of his army followed him.
The two boys turned to face each other. Hoseok punched Teahyung in the chest repeatidly.
"Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stu-"
Taehyung grabbed his wrists. "You talk too much." He pulled Hoseok closer and pressed his lips on his.
"You should learn to keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut."
With that, he disappeared.
What the fuck just happened?
