"Give me that and no one gets hurt," Soomi said threateningly, glaring hard at Celeste.

Celeste smirked and dangled the last piece of pizza around, taunting the other girl.

"I don't think so," Celeste replied smugly.

"I'll never talk to you again," Soomi growled.

Celeste shrugged her shoulders before shoving the piece of pizza in her mouth, keeping her eyes on Soomi to see her reaction. You watched as the black-haired girl's heart practically broke.

"Not talking to me again would actually do me a favour," Celeste said when her mouth wasn't as full. Soomi cursed under her breath before staring at Celeste with a determined expression.

"Guess I'm gonna have to stay glued to your side instead then," she said.

"Clarisse will probably kick you out of the nurse's room; you'll be disturbing Celeste and her recovery," Miori said as she stood up with the now-empty pizza box, bringing it over to a garbage.

"They can't keep her in here forever, it's already been three days since the attack," Soomi argued. "Besides, I could just hide under her bed or something and Clarisse won't even know."

"And you think I won't tell her that you're there?" Celeste asked with an arched eyebrow.

"You won't even know I'm there," Soomi countered in an eerie voice.

"You do realize you're getting this worked up over a piece of pizza, right?" you asked Soomi.

"Yes," Soomi replied bluntly. "Is there a problem with me fighting for my one true love?"

"It's weird," Miori jumped in.

"Well you're weird."

"Your ass is weird," Miori said, a triumphant look on her face after seeing Soomi's fall with defeat.

"Damnit," the black-haired girl muttered under her breath.

"You're an idiot," Celeste sighed with a roll of her eyes.

"Your ass is an—"

"So anyways," Miori interrupted Soomi and turned to you. "Have you heard from Park Jimin at all?"

"No, I think he's still discussing the incident with his friends," you replied.

Three days had passed since Allyson's witch showed up. Since then the house has been taken care of and looks as if nothing had happened. The few offerers that had been killed were buried and a small service to say goodbye, hosted by Clarisse, took place two days ago. Many of the girls that had been seriously injured were sent to the nurse's office, including Celeste. While almost all had gone back to the dorms, Celeste was still downstairs in her hospital bed. Soomi kept saying she was sure that Celeste was just too lazy to leave, and you and Miori both couldn't help but agree with that statement.

"Do you have any ideas of what he might do?" Celeste inquired.

"Not really sure, but I have a feeling he will eventually go and confront Allyson. Maybe he'll wait until something else happens or maybe he's planning on going over there this second, who knows," you replied.

"If he does decide to go there, would you want to go too?" Soomi asked.

"Absolutely not happening," Miori said suddenly. You turned to Miori and tilted your head, questioningly.

"Wow, I didn't know Miori was (Y/n)'s spokesperson now," Celeste deadpanned.

"I've heard about the place and it's not one that humans should be going to," Miori said, ignoring Celeste's comment. "Apparently Allyson's parents live with her and are quite rude towards humans, thinking they are far more superior than us. It's a reason why their family doesn't have too many offerers. They're fine with feeding off of them, but I guess humans aren't worthy enough to live in their "oh so wonderful" home."

"So I would be in danger there or something?" you clarified.

"Well, I don't exactly know for sure—," Miori began.

"Then why are you saying all of this?" Soomi cut in.

"—but I just think it'd be wiser if you stay here," Miori finished. She turned to look at Soomi with a dead expression, saying, "and I'm just trying to look at for (Y/n), since you obviously don't care about her safety."

"(Y/n)'s a big girl, she can take care of herself," Soomi said as she slung an arm around your shoulders, bringing you close to her. Then she gave a perverted look and smirked. "I mean, she survived Park Jimin going animal mode on her, so I think she'll be fine."

You shrugged Soomi's arm off and looked away, feeling heat rush to your cheeks.

"I appreciate the thoughts, but I think I'll wait and hear what Jimin has to say. If he offers to take me and thinks I'll be fine, then I might go. But if he doesn't, and says it's too dangerous, then I'll stay home," you said.

"But don't you want to go? I'm sure you'd be able to persuade him to let you go," Soomi said, nudging you with her elbow.

"I am interested to see what he has to say to her, and what he plans on doing. Seeing Jimin put her in her place would be one of the best moments of my life. But I also know what she's capable of and value my life," you responded.

"Well why don't you ask for his blood then? Just in case?" Celeste questioned. You gave her a confused look.

"Sorry?"

"In order to become a vampire you need to die with their blood in your system. So, if you and Park Jimin both worry about your safety, and you want to go to Allyson's house, then maybe you could ask him for his blood just in case," Celeste explained. "Of course, it depends on how he feels about you becoming a vampire though, and how you feel too."

You had never thought about being turned by Jimin. However, you've seen enough vampire shows and movies to know that the vampire usually doesn't want the human to be turned. So you wouldn't be surprised if Jimin pulled the cliché "being a vampire is a curse, you deserve a long, happy life" bullshit. You could never understand that; wouldn't you be happier spending the rest of eternity with the one you love?

"I don't know how Jimin would feel about that," you said hesitantly.

"Don't listen to Celeste, she's saying shit. Sure, being a vampire might be cool, with all the perks and everything, but you've gotta look at both sides. Allyson will hate you even more, you might go bloodthirsty and hurt someone you didn't mean to, and you'll never get to taste food again," Soomi said, emphasizing her last point.

"You also won't ever get to have children, but I don't really know if you've thought about having kids before," Miori added.

They did have some pretty good points. While there were positive sides to being a vampire, there were also risks and consequences. The question is which outweighs the other.

"It was just a suggestion, you don't need to think about it too much right now if you're not ready," Celeste said, laying back in her hospital bed.

"Are you going to bed?" Soomi asked, staring at Celeste with a judgmental look.

"Yeah, if you want to stay feel free. But watching me sleep is kinda weird and creepy," Celeste said with her back turned to you guys.

"We'll see you later Celeste," Miori said as she ushered you and Soomi out of the nurse's room.

As you were walking down the halls, heading back for the dorms, you noticed Jimin standing by the front door talking with Namjoon.

"You guys can go upstairs, I'm gonna try to talk to Jimin," you told Soomi and Miori. The two girls nodded before continuing up the stairs as you made your way to the door. Namjoon noticed you first—since Jimin's back was facing you—and he waved.

"How are you?" he asked as you neared.

"I'm good, thanks. What are you doing here?" you asked.

"I was here talking about plans with Jimin," Namjoon answered vaguely as Jimin stepped aside to allow you to join the conversation.

"Plans?" you questioned, hoping for at least one of the two to elaborate.

"It's about the incident," Jimin started. "I'm going to go see Allyson about it."

"When is that going to happen?" you asked with wide eyes.

"Tonight," Namjoon replied. "Allyson's parents are going out with a bunch of business partners, my parents included. So it's safest to go confront her tonight where her parents aren't around to protect her."

"What are you even going to do there?" you asked Jimin.

"Warn her not to come near the house again," Jimin replied, and then added jokingly, "and maybe smack her around some more."

"I advise against doing that, but you're free to live your life I guess," Namjoon said, speaking of Jimin's latter comment.

Without thinking, you suddenly blurted out what was on your mind.

"Can I come?" you asked.

Namjoon looked at you with surprised eyes while Jimin's face fell slightly and he avoided your eye-contact, looking at Namjoon worriedly.

"Well...that's up to Jimin I guess," Namjoon said, throwing the spotlight on him now. Jimin sighed and ran a hand through his hair roughly.

"I don't know...," he said slowly.

"You don't have to say yes, I'm just worried about you going alone. At least if I go it's not exactly one-on-one, although I guess I'll mostly be there for moral support. And, worst case scenario, if you need me to run and get help, I can do that," you said. Then looking to Namjoon you said, "is her house not that dangerous? I expected you guys to be more opposed to the idea."

"Well it's not exactly an idea we love, but Jimin himself had been wondering if he should take you. Allyson cares about Jimin, so she knows that if she harms you too seriously Jimin would hate her forever," Namjoon said. He smiled brightly, two dimples appearing on his cheeks, as he placed a hand on Jimin's shoulder. "He feels better with you at his side, that way he knows where you are at all times. I think now that he's fed from you, he feels more inclined to look after you. More protective, or something like that."

"Normally I would be more comfortable, but Allyson is different. It's a little more risky when it comes to her," Jimin said, his brows furrowed in thought. "If I bring you with me you could get hurt, but at the same time she could send someone here again while I'm at her house. Then no one will be able to protect you guys here."

"How about I ask Hoseok to stay close to his phone tonight? If anything happens there, call him for help and he'll do whatever he can, whether it's going over there by himself or gathering all the rest of us up," Namjoon suggested.

You stared at Jimin expectantly, waiting for his response. He stared into your eyes for a moment before nodding his head and running a hand through his hair.

"That sounds good to me," he finally said. You smiled wide and jumped excitedly before giving Jimin a big hug.

"You seem really excited to go," Namjoon mentioned. "You want to see Allyson that badly?"

You turned to look over at Namjoon while still hugging Jimin tightly.

"I really want to see him knock her out."

Namjoon laughed before patting Jimin on the shoulder a few times, telling him not to disappoint you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I think I'm going to knock her flying if she threatens to pull another trick like the one a few days ago," Jimin grumbled as he stepped out of the car.

"Please do," you said, following after Jimin as he began walking over to the front doors of Allyson's home.

"And I guarantee that she'll taunt me with what she did. She knows how much I care about the offerers and likes to make fun of me for it," Jimin said lowly.

"She's probably jealous you like them more than you like her," you said with a shrug.

"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. It seems very Allyson-like of her," Jimin said as he knocked on the front door.

A few moments later the door was opened and you were standing face-to-face with a man dressed in a suit.

"How may I help you Mr. Park?" he greeted before trailing his eyes over to you. "And visitor."

"I'd like to speak with Allyson," Jimin stated.

"Of course. Could the young lady wait for you here?" the man asked while gesturing to you. Jimin narrowed his eyes at the man and you saw the man shrink back slightly.

"No, she comes with me," Jimin said firmly.

"Of course, right this way," the man said as he stepped aside, allowing you two to enter the home. Jimin grabbed onto your hand as he pulled you along with him into the house.

"Is she in her room?" Jimin asked as he dragged you behind him protectively.

"She is in the garden. I can go inform her of your presence if you'd wish," the man offered. Jimin simply shook his head and made his way through the halls, with the man scurrying after Jimin. Eventually, you pushed through doors leading to the backyard, seeing a lovely and expensive-looking garden.

"I just feel that it'd be more comfortable if you stay—," the man tried

"We'll be fine," Jimin said.

"At least acknowledge Jeremy's suggestions to some extent, Jimin," a familiar voice said. Jimin froze in his tracks and turned to where the voice had come from.

Coming out from behind a large, well-trimmed hedge was Allyson, in all of her glory.

"He is trying to help and be polite," she continued, walking up to the "Jeremy" person. She whispered something in his ear before the man nodded and walked back through the doors leading inside.

"Are you planning anything?" Jimin asked warily, staring at the doors Jeremy had disappeared through.

"I sent him away to give us privacy, that's all. No need for gossiping among the workers," Allyson said. Smiling widely, Allyson tilted her head innocently. "Why are you here, Jiminie?"

"Don't call me that," Jimin said immediately, and Allyson giggled disgustingly.

"Oh, Jim—"

"I'm not here for a harmless chat, Allyson. I'm here to talk about the witch you sent me three days ago," Jimin interrupted fiercely.

"Oh yes. Did you enjoy my gift?" she asked.

"I hope you rot in hell," Jimin growled in response. "Five innocent girls died."

"Oh they're just humans," Allyson said with a wave of a hand. "Do you know how many there are on this earth? You'll find five others just like those girls in no time."

"These aren't just replaceable toys, Allyson—," Jimin began.

"That's exactly what they are" she said seriously, the smile gone from her face. Jimin scowled at her.

"They are living beings, Allyson," Jimin snapped.

"They would die eventually anyways, I don't understand why you always get so upset over humans being killed," Allyson said irritably with a huff, crossing her arms over her chest.

You noticed Jimin tensing up and so you reached your free hand up to rub the back of his neck, trying to get him to calm down and focus on what he came to talk about. Jimin let out a sigh as he closed his eyes before opening them up to glare at Allyson once more.

"Stay away from my house, okay?"

"Excuse me?" Allyson said with an offended look.

"I don't need you coming around and killing anyone else, thank you very much. Just back off and stop," Jimin said.

Allyson looked infuriated, for once it actually looked like she hated Jimin. But she quickly composed herself as she beckoned Jimin forward with a finger.

"Come here," she demanded.

Jimin stayed glued to his spot slightly in front of you.

"Fine," Allyson said as she stomped over to Jimin.

Once she reached him, she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yanked him down so she could stare at him dead in the eye. Jimin's hand left yours so he could grab onto Allyson's shoulders and try to pull her off, but the girl was stronger than she looked.

"Talk to me like that again, I dare you," she said through her teeth.

You slowly backed away from the two as they were beginning to become more violent, tugging on each other's clothes so hard you were surprised they hadn't ripped yet.

"I don't take orders from you," Jimin shot back.

Allyson released Jimin's shirt suddenly and backed away from him, her face contorted with anger. She took a deep breath in before crossing her arms and smiling again, back to her usual self.

Suddenly there was a low growling sound and before anyone could react Jimin was being sent to the ground by a flash of red. You stared in horror at the large animal on top of Jimin and quickly identified it as a werewolf. Jimin's was struggling to keep the werewolf away from his body as the beast kept trying to chomp down on him, it's large mouth opening and snapping shut rabidly.

"Stop!" you yelled, but before you could get close Allyson was behind you suddenly, one of her hands wrapped around your throat.

"Just look for a second," she said into your ear.

You were forced to watch as the large, red beast slowly overpowered Jimin, it's mouth getting closer and closer to Jimin. Suddenly the wolf let out a yelp and leaped back from Jimin and you noticed a bloody clump of fur in Jimin's hand. Your relief lasted for a second, diminishing as you watched the werewolf launch itself at Jimin again. Jimin ran away from the beast to one of the surrounding trees before it could tackle him.

But, unfortunately, this hadn't given Jimin the time he had desired. Instead of tricking the wolf, it had kept its focus on Jimin and charged over to the tree he had run to. As Jimin tried to run again, the beast caught his whole arm in the blink of an eye, biting down on it hard.

"Jimin!" you shrieked.

Jimin hissed out in pain and dropped to his knees, trying to yank his arm out of the beast's mouth. Jimin dug his fingers into the werewolf's ear harshly to get it to let go of his arm as the beast tugged on his arm, looking like it might rip it from the socket.

"That's enough," Allyson said suddenly. The werewolf released Jimin's arm before moving away to a nearby hedge, glaring at Jimin with harsh eyes.

Allyson let you go and you instantly ran to Jimin's side. He looked at with pained eyes and you drifted your gaze down to his arm.

Big mistake.

Flesh was torn and hanging like flaps with blood oozing down his arm. Large puncture marks were indented in the skin with werewolf venom dripping from them, mixing with his blood. You wanted to cry seeing how painful it looked and knowing that Jimin's life was in danger, without doubt. You quickly reached into your back pocket for your phone.

Nothing was there.

"Looking for this?" Allyson asked, and you looked over to see her dangling your phone between two fingers.

"Give it back," you demanded.

"I don't think so," Allyson said with an amused smile. "Instead we're gonna play a game."

"Fuck you and your games!" you spat venomously.

"Easy now, don't want Jimin to die now, do we?" Allyson taunted. You shut your mouth but continued shooting death glares her way.

"Perfect, now this is how it's gonna go. I'll give you the chance to call one person for help, and it can be anyone. But only one call and you have to put it on speak phone so I know what you two talk about. You aren't allowed to call someone and ask for them to send a bunch of friends to the rescue; only the person that you call will be permitted to come here," Allyson explained.

You stared at Jimin, asking for his permission to accept the game. Jimin weakly nodded and looked over at the phone.

"Call someone, anyone," he said in a raspy voice. You jumped to your feet and ran over to Allyson, but before you could take the phone she held it high out of reach.

"Ah, ah, just a second. You'll tell me who you're going to call first,"
