"Which shop to first, Y/n?"  Taehyung asked and your eyes immediately scanned the place.  You guys were in a mall, not too big, not too small.  Though the stores have definitely had impressed you the moment you stepped in.

You heard a loud annoyed sigh from behind you two, "Listen, being in the open like this, is dangerous.  Just hurry up and buy something so we can leave."  You turned to see Yoongi who was clearly forced on this trip.  Jin thought it would be better with more protection. 

With more protection, I would have expected him to make Jungkook come along.  They probably still don't trust him completely around me or maybe in public in general.

"Does he realllyyyyy have to be here?" You looked at Taehyung with questioning eyes. 

He nodded and Yoongi rolled his eyes, "Tsk—"

"Ooo!  That looks like a good shop.  Come on Taehyung!"  You gripped Taehyung's hand and dashed into the shop pulling you two away from Yoongi who was hot on your heels.

You immediately saw a cute top with a low v-neck collar, and long sleeves.  You showed Taehyung and he approved of it.

"Wait."  You turned to see Yoongi who raised his eyebrow at the top.  "You don't have the chest for that.  Put it away."  Your jaw dropped in disbelief and your eyes widened at the man as he demanded you to do as you were told.  You could feel your insecurities soaring and flying through the roof.

What an evil man!  You thought still accepting his insult.  Taehyung held your hand and pulled you towards some other racks for you to get in tune to.

All your worries started to slip away, as you were induced into shopping.  You were finding many things that you liked, along with Taehyung suggesting things.  Even Yoongi started to give true advice and compliment some of your choices.

Today is better than I expected.  You couldn't help but smile feeling normal for once.  You stepped into the change rooms and started to try on your finds.

The first outfit you put on was a pair of black ripped jeans with a slim fit turtle neck black long sleeve shirt.  You stepped out looking at the two men for their reactions.

"I like it, it's dark and I think you'd find it useful wearing this than a dress or skirt.  You never know what dangers we could come across, right?"  He gave his honest opinion and you nodded.

You looked at Yoongi who raised his eyebrow a bit, "I agree.  I just think the turtleneck might be too much but I think you should be good.  I mean isn't your body already hot all the time?"

You smirked, "Did you just call me hot?"

His eyes got strangely large, "N...No d...dumbass.  Your body heat."  He stuttered slightly embarrassed.  He closed his eyes sighing in frustration.

"I know.  I'm just playing with you."  You laughed a bit feeling a bit powerful to see Yoongi in such distress.

A rose colour snuck onto his cheeks, he slightly parted his lips, "I mean.  You aren't bad either."  With that your eyes widened and you felt your face heat up.

Was that his way of saying I'm cute?  What the heck was going on right now?!  You turned back and went into the change room with your heart pounding.  You took a deep breath and moved on to your next outfit

You slid on black cargo pants with a white short sleeved crop top.  You complemented the outfit with boots.  You looked at yourself in then mirror in the change room.  You could see the unease in your eyes as an odd herbal scent filled your nose. It didn't take an effect on you, but it made messed up your sense of smell.

Why so suddenly has this scent engulfed the area? I can still move, it has no effect on me, at least it's not wolfbane. But there must be a reason. It doesn't smell normal. At that moment you shot up.  Realization filled you and you swung the change room door open.  Yoongi was on the ground coughing for air. 

That's when it hit you. 

He came for Taehyung.  He didn't even fulfill his promise.

You dropped down by Yoongi trying to help him up.  He was placed in such a vulnerable position you'd never thought you'd see.  "It's Dae.  It has to be."  Taehyung was gone, out of sight. 

Yoongi jerked his hand away from you and slumped back on the ground.  "No.  Get Taehyung.  I'll be fine."  He coughed. 

You stared at him unconvinced with his reply.  "I don't believe you.  If I got you up, we'd be stronger together."

"If you got me up, it'll waste time.  They will get away with Taehyung.  I'm not going anywhere.  Just go!"  He spoke weakly and you nodded even though a part of you felt wrong for leaving him like that.  You dashed for the exit of the store, praying that the smell would die down and you'd get a better scent on Taehyung,

"Hey!  You can't leave!  You haven't bought that!"  You hear one of the associates stopping you dead in your tracks.

Yoongi raised up cash in the air.  "I'll cover it.  Go Y/n!"  He yelled struggling to breathe.  You felt bad leaving him, but he insisted.  You trusted Yoongi would take care of himself.

You ran into the mall freaked out as people continued to pass by you. Many scents filled the air as you stood in the crowd full of people who were shopping, standing, rushing.  Different fumes enter your nose and you start to feel overwhelmed.  Closing your eyes, you try to focus more on Taehyung than your anxiety.  The herbal smell was fainter out in the open. 

Your eyes flickered open as you regained his scent.  Up.  They are going up.

The chase was on. You immediately ran for the escalator swiftly running past every consumer, anyone and any obstacle that came your way.  You continued to go through a cycle of escalators rising up in the mall.  You ran towards a set of doors, leading you to another set of stairs more in secret.  You pushed the door open with no hesitation.  You paused for a moment standing below the flight of stairs.  A growl erupted from above and a body landed in front of you.

You stumbled back seeing the wolf man before you.  His eyes glowed a topaz colour and his canines came into view.  You watched as his saliva dripped as his eyes pierced through you. 

Another wolf?  Definitely Dae trying to send a message.  Taehyung's smile popped in your head and you closed your eyes and opened them as they glowed amber.  Your body throbbed as canines painfully grew out your mouth.  Claws extended out your nails and hair slightly grew on your body. 

You stood up growling at the other wolf and he returned it.  You didn't hesitate to take an enormous jump to the wolf immediately clawing at his chest.  He stumbled back into the wall holding his chest.  As you approached him, he grabbed your neck, slamming you into the wall as he switched positions with you.  You gasped for air as he held onto you tightly.  He raised his hand and clawed your stomach.  A painful scream left you and in reaction you raised your knee in a fast motion, hitting him where it hurts.  He fell back down the stairs landing flat on his back.  You quickly dropped down sitting on top of him.  You raised your fist and started to pound his face pushing him down until he was too weak to attack you.  You wrapped your hands around his neck, slightly pressing your thumbs on the bulge. 

His eyes widened as he realized what you were doing.  "You made a big mistake coming here.  I'm going to give you three seconds, if you don't tell me where Taehyung is, you won't just suffocate.  I'll rip your neck out with my teeth.  I will make it impossible for the people you love to see you again."  You could read his eyes, full a fear but also there was a hint of confidence he had that you wouldn't go through with your word. 

You pressed a little harder, "1..."  He stayed a bit more calm, yet silent.

"...2"  Unimpressed, you pressed harder and you could see he was struggling in his eyes.  You waited a bit for him to give an answer, but he stayed silent.  You rolled your eyes, "That's it!"  You raised you claw in the air prepared to swing at his neck.

"W...Wait!"  He managed to say, "T-The roof.."  With that, you smiled at him for his cooperation.  You closed your fist and punched him in the face knocking him out.  You got up and rushed up the stairs.  You maneuvered your way through the mall as Taehyung's scent grew stronger.  It pained you that your issues with your brother was putting the one's you cared about in danger.  You didn't have much, but Taehyung's innocent face couldn't leave your mind.  He was always there.  He never judged you.  He took you in even though you were different from him. 

If anything happened to Taehyung, someone was going to die.

You kicked the door open making it onto the roof.  You saw Taehyung slung onto someone's shoulder's who was running off.  You rushed towards them, as they lingered on the edge of the roof.  The moment they sensed you, your eyes watched in slow motion as they let go of Taehyung's body of the side.  "No!"  You screamed diving for Taehyung's unconscious body off the edge. 

You hooked your feet on the roof, using all your strength and balance to keep you up.  You caught Taehyung's wrists and cried in pain struggling to hold him.

"Taehyung, wake up!" You cried.

Sweat beaded off your forehead as you tried to keep yourself up.  "Pathetic.  How can you care for someone like him?  Just like him, you are better off dead." You felt a sharp pain in your calf. The man dug his class into your calves.

"Taehyung!" You screamed hoping for him to awaken. His eyes slowly started to flutter open and you felt relief in you.

"Are we—"

"Yes we are dangling at the edge of the mall!" You breathed. "Do you know anyways we can get out of this?"

"Unless you are able to swing me and throw me up. Even if you someone managed to do that in the position you are in, you'd fall."

"I'll try it. If we don't try something, that guy will kill us." You closed your eyes taking a deep breath. You slowly but carefully tried to sway your arms from side to side. With enough force, you'd be able to get Taehyung up there.

You listened to the door slam above you. To your left you watched guy fall to his death. You felt your body being lifted on its own. You and Taehyung dropped on the roof, but you panted in exhaustion.

"Thank god, Yoongi Hyung!" Taehyung smiled.

Yoongi smirked at you a bit. He raised his hand and through the door came the guy you beat into a bloody pulp. "Y/n thanks to you, we get to take him home." He dropped the body and put his hoodie on. He turned and walked away with the body floating behind him.

What a demon.

"Hey! That demon saved our lives!" Taehyung slapped your arm gently.

You shrugged, "I guess."

You looked down at your calf to see the claw marks still there.  You touched your stomach with your hand to only see the oozing dark red substance of blood.  So much adrenaline rushing through your head in the moment, you didn't even realize you weren't healing.  The marks began to sting and you grunted in pain.

You looked into Taehyung's eyes and he realized it too.  He stared at your torso a bit in fright but he calmed himself down.  "What did they do to you?"

"I...I don't know."  You stared at the red blood on your hands and back at Taehyung, "If I don't start healing soon, I think I'm going to die."
