Hoseok was in mid conversation before you walked in and his eyes widened.

Jin sighed loudly. He rushed towards you and placed his hands on your shoulders.

"Thank goodness! You look amazing Y/n! It's so great that you are awake!" His eyes filled with glee.

He slowly started to pat his hands on your face. His palm was against your cheek, then your forehead.

"So I see you are warm. That's good. So you are alive and up, and not dead and up."  Jin smiled.

Jin turned to Jungkook, "Look Jungkook, she didn't turn!  How happy you must be.  She would've killed you!"

You furrowed you're eyebrows, "What do you mean I didn't turn?  What does Jungkook have to do with that?!  Someone needs to fill me in right now!"

"SILENCE."  Yoongi spoke and the room fell quiet.  "Y/n, this is a meeting room.  We aren't here to discuss your personal life.  If you want to bicker and go insane, leave.  If you actually want to know what's happening, shut up Chihuahua."

You crossed your arms, speaking quietly, "Chihuahua?  You're the one to talk."

Yoongi's head immediately turned to your direction and he just stared at you blandly.  The intensity between you two was insane.  Though you kept your glance on Yoongi, challenging him.

Jin immediately jumped in front of you.  "Okay!  Let's calm down.  It's normal to be excited when someone you care about recovers.  Let's continue with the meeting.  Sorry Hoseok!  Carry on!"

They couldn't have wait until I had woken up for this meeting to begin?  How much have I missed?

You found yourself standing in between Jimin and Namjoon, trying to blend in. Though it didn't help you were in pyjamas, had a large cast, and you were a bruised mess.

You weren't healing like you should've.  After three days of being out, your body should've healed completely.  It should've done it on day one when you were out, but it didn't.

Even now with the cast, my leg still hurts when I move.  It's like I'm healing like a regular human.  I have to assume that the wolfsbane took a grand effect on my body.  I was fine before Chris tried to kill me three days ago.

Hoseok watched the discomfort on your face unfold. He stood up from his seat.

"Hey Y/n, come sit here. You shouldn't be up on your feet." He motioned you to come over. You dragged your cast along with you moving towards him.

Jungkook watched you struggle and came towards you. He rested his right hand on the small of your back, then his left attempted to touch your left hand as he stood to the left of you.

You slapped his hand away, "I don't need your help."

Your eyes met and you could feel frustration within you rise. Your eyes filled with disgust. You had hated that he chose Nia over you.

Though you were taken aback by his eyes. He reacted silently from your reaction.  His dark eyes where glossy, slightly glistening. It wasn't in its usual shape, as his eyes slightly laid lower in distress.

Guilt. You sniffed, Yeah right.

As you reached Hoseok's seat, he helped you into it, and you finally felt the pressure off your leg. You sighed in relief as you could finally relax.

Hoseok continued to speak and you observed everyone in the room.

Jin, Yoongi and Hoseok would usually lead, a long with Namjoon who would interrupt from time to time.

Jimin stood quietly and only interrupted when necessary.

Nia was also in the room, on the other side off Namjoon. Ever since you walked in, her attitude has changed, and for the worst. You ignored it though.

Then there was Jungkook. Jungkook isolated himself and stood quietly. He seemed to have spoke when asked to, or pushed to.

"We can't ignore what happened.  It's clear that your brother could care less about you and you being alive for him to kill." Hoseok spoke, snapping you out of your thoughts.

You raised and eyebrow, "Huh, what do you mean?"

"With all these careless deeds that have been taking out towards you, you could've easily been dead if anything.  He doesn't want you to himself.  He wants something else." Namjoon spoke looking at you and you placed one hand onto the arm rest of the chair inching forward.

"I don't get that. Something else? Dae is usually straightforward with what he wants cause he knows he will get it."

"That's what we considered too, but haven't you realized it has become this game of cat and mouse, and he's dominating?  We just, we just can't understand what it is."  Namjoon spoke thinking, "Maybe it does involve you.  Anything that Chris speaks about comes out to be about your brother wanting you.  But maybe you aren't necessary for it."

"Are you saying, I'm like a bonus?  Or something of some sort?"  You questioned.

Namjoon nodded, "Maybe.  Or Maybe you are the only person who can give him what he wants.  If he doesn't get it, he's going to wreak havoc."

Yoongi spoke up, "In other words, we can't take this shit too lightly. It's been causing a lot of problems for us."

You started to squint your eyes thinking about Dae.  His words echoed through my head.  You've been acting to carelessly about.

Your eyes slightly widened.

How could I have been so stupid?  He wanted Jungkook, or Taehyung dies.  He wants me to give him what he wants.

You thought Dae was doing such to hurt you.  To make the pain you'd feel internal.  Losing any of them would hurt you so much. 

For some reason, he knew how much Taehyung meant to you as a friend. He knew how Jungkook has made you feel, and you still were trying to comprehend such feelings.

Your face dropped.

The way he insinuated it.  He wants Jungkook and to punish me for not giving him such, Taehyung would die.

What was it about Jungkook that made him want him so bad?

Namjoon noticed the discomfort in your face.  "Y/n, do you have something to say?" He immediately knew something was on your mind.

You had to say it.  That could be the only reason that he wants you.  He knows the connection you have with Taehyung and Jungkook. 

He sees this as his leverage.  You slightly smirked.

Everyone looked at you strangely.  You finally were understanding where Dae messed up.  His flaw in his plan. 

Once it was out, there was no way he would get his hands on them.  Everyone would keep a high watch on them and protect them, and you didn't have to stress about making a choice or risk losing any one of them.

You finally grew the courage to speak.  To get the threat out.  He wasn't going to have this leverage over you.  "He--"

"Oh come on!  You want to believe her?  Dae wants her dead.  Thats the truth.  He tries to lead us off by manipulating her."  Nia spoke up walking towards you.

Nia stood before the three chairs across from you in Hoseok's chair.

"She can barely carry herself.  If Y/n dies, he grows stronger.  That's what he wants."

Namjoon scrunched his face up.  He placed his hand on the side of his neck, "I still think Y/n's words are valid.  It can help us understand the situation more."

"What ever she has to say, is the way Dae gets into our heads.  If she knows something, how do you think she knows?  What's her source?  Who is giving her this information?  She is literally his pawn!"  She stood in front of you, and glared.  "You are trouble." 

You stood there irritated but a part of you questioned yourself. You didn't even question the possibilities of Dae lying to you just to create commotion.

Maybe he really was trying to lead us off for something more. Then again, would Dae really do that?

You knew Dae better than anyone.

If he offered a life for another, there was a reason for it. He wanted Jungkook, and if I didn't condemn to him, the consequences I would have to suffer would have to hurt me. If he killed Taehyung it would hurt me. I don't think such a thing would be a hoax.

He wants Jungkook, and it seems like he's going to make sure he gets him. But why?  The answer to that question, would help us understand Dae's intentions.

Your eyes widened as you put the puzzle together.

You looked at Nia who stood before you and frowned. She realized your expression and raised an eyebrow. "What? You realized I'm right?"

I know she hated me, but I thought she cared about everyone else here. She was clearly trying to shut me up.

What does she get out of this? Hmph, maybe Nia's perverted and sexual acts weren't only to anger me.

Pressure me to give up Jungkook. If I didn't care for Jungkook, I would feel inclined to save Taehyung.

This...This is sick.

You chuckled a bit, "I can see straight through you."

You pushed yourself up, out of the chair.  You slowly walked down to Nia not caring of the pain you were feeling.  The anger you had for her burned bright, and screamed louder than the pain.

You stood right in front of her.  Nia was about the same height as you.  You stared at her, getting into her face.

Her light expression slowly went dark.

"You aren't who you say you are. Who's s—"

Your face forcefully whipped to your right side and you froze a bit.  You stumbled back falling onto the ground.

Your left cheek started to burn.

Nia stood there with her hand in the air, and she smirked at you on the ground.

You couldn't believe she had put her hands on you.

The whole room was silent in shock.

You raised your left hand to your left cheek slightly touching it. You removed your hand from your face looking at the blood on your hand.

You slowly started to shake.  This feeling was all to familiar.  The force was much worse, but you couldn't remember who it was, what had forced you to feel such a way.

You felt yourself pool into darkness losing reality. It was a sickening feeling, all you could smell was fear, and you felt it too.

What's happening to me?  Why do I feel so scared?

Your body knocked back into the ground bringing you back. You sat up with your elbows seeing Nia stand above you angrily.

"You think you can intimidate me Y/n? Who do you think you are to walk up to our doorstep attempting to ruin our lives?"  She yelled at you.

"Unlike you, I didn't come in and begged to live here.  Jin gladly took me in.  Unlike you, they actually want to protect me."  You looked up at her from your vulnerable position.

She gasped but continued to speak.

"You ruin lives Y/n. That's what you do. You kill people, you get them dead! Just like you killed your mommy and daddy!"

You started to chuckle deeply, "If I truly kill people, and get them dead, don't you think you would be on my list?  I'm a changed person."

The bitter taste of blood seeped into your mouth. Nia had punched you while you were out on that dark trip.

"Even if they are all too blind to see, I see right through your facade."

"Nia this is fucking ridiculous! You are trying to ruin everything we built because of your own personal dramas?!" Yoongi yelled irritated, "This is a waste of our own time. If none of what she is saying is true, then why are you getting so worked up?!"

"What's been a waste of time was bringing her here! She puts everyone in danger for her absence and the enemies she carries! Look at her, she is pathetic, worthless, can't even heal anymore. She's dead weight!"

As Nia spoke, you took a whiff of the air.

Her usual strong demeanour was broken down.  That confidence that she once had was no more.  All you could see was a vulnerable girl losing a battle.

"Fear." You muttered.

"What?"  Nia questioned directing her attention back to you.

"All I can smell off of you is fear." You smirked with the blood seeping through my teeth.

Nia's eyes filled with anger and shock. "You want me to kill you?  I can end that pathetic life of yours right now!"

She attempted to jump onto you but Jungkook immediately grabbed her wrist.

"That's enough."

She froze and couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that out of all people, he would hold her back.

Jungkook was protecting you from her.

"Wow. You too? You like this piece of scum? This monster?" You could see the true pain on her face.

There was a deep connection or feeling she had for Jungkook.

"Look at you, look at her." Nia took a look at you.

"Nia, you are the monster." He said quietly. 

Nia paused for a moment. 

Her eyes floated around watching the others and their reaction.  They weren't even shocked, just disappointed, annoyed.

She scowled ripping her arm from Jungkook.

"She has you all blindsided!  All you guys want to do is sit around never knowing what to do knowing she's going to get you all killed!"  She clenched her fists staring at the ground.

She was infuriated, and upset at the same time.  She never expected them to side with you, or even just siding against her.  Facing Jungkook, she started to speak once again.

"We are the same breed!  Jungkook, I can't believe you would go against me!  After everything that's happened between us!  The help, the love, the passion!  Everything I have done was for you.  To protect you."  Her eyes turned and were pleading.

His eyes stayed fixed and his emotion was unchangeable.

"Just because we are both vampires doesn't mean we are from the same breed.  I'm tired of this devilish side to you, that keeps fueling the flames and making everything harder.  More specifically," Jungkook's eyes met yours, "my life."

Nia started to laugh, her laugh grew from a giggle to a wicked hackle.  She hugged herself as the frustration left her in such a strange joyful manner.

"You are all going to die.  Thanks to Jungkook and Y/n, you are dead already."  She hissed, "Maybe you should start being more careful.  Hmmm, Taehyung.  Y/n, how much time does he truly have left?"  She grinned at you.

You could feel the anger bubbling from you.  She turned and started to walk away.

"Hey!  Nia."  She turned to you once more. 

You slowly rose to your feet.

"I did say I changed.  But I promise you, slip up, hurt me or put any of us in danger again, I can go back just to kill you."  You spat in disgust.

She rolled her eyes, in response.

She started to smirk, "Y/n, watch your words very wisely. You wouldn't want someone to get hurt now would you?

She walked out of the room.

Was that a threat?
