You're a Monster | Chenji

XLII

'Call Dejun.' Kun ordered. Chittaphon took his phone and dialed Dejun's number. They were all in the van, heading back towards their building.

'He isn't picking up.' He said. It was odd, Dejun knew what they were doing and he knew he had to pick up immediately if they called in case of an emergency.

'Call again.'

Chittaphon tried again. Still, no response.

'What about Renjun?'

'Renjun isn't picking up either. This is bad. I don't know why no one is picking up, but my gut's telling me something isn't right.'

'I-I'm sorry guys... I-I knew t-they'd come a-and kill you... I-I'm so sorry, I should have never-'

'Hey, it's okay Baek. You did well. We could tell something was wrong when you called and none of us was badly harmed, yeah?' Jungwoo said while rubbing his back soothingly.

'B-but D-donghyuck and Jaemin...'

'We're fine, don't worry.' Jaemin reassured him. His throat still stung and he coughed from time to time, but he was far from dead. Donghyuck wasn't as good, though. He still couldn't talk due to that horrible gas and his eyes were still teary.

The three vampires and the human were on the couch while Taeyong was getting some blood to help Donghyuck and Jaemin heal faster. Doyoung and Jaehyun were cleaning up the mess that their house had become in the matter of seconds and Jisung still hadn't gotten out of Chenle's room.

The humans arrived to the building and saw everything way too silent. Yangyang immediately carried Yukhei to his room to lay him on his bed. The rest checked in every room. Chittaphon searched on the first floor, Kun on the second and Kunhang and Sicheng on the third one. Kunhang entered Dejun's lab and all of them rushed there as soon as he called them.

'Dejun!' Kunhang ran towards Dejun, accidentally stepping on some objects that were messily scattered all over the floor. The lab looked like a tornado had passed by, the things Dejun usually had all tidied on the table were on the floor, papers scattered and some broken glass containers were all over the place as well.

Dejun was unconscious,  locked in a cage, the cage where one of the vampires they kept had been. Next to him was the other vampire, who hadn't escaped, and looked at the humans with pleading eyes.

'C-can I go out? Please?'

Chittaphon looked at Johnny with such hatred it made the vampire gulp.

Kunhang and Sicheng got Dejun out of the cage as he woke up. They sat him up on a chair and waited for him to regain consciousness. Dejun groaned as he opened his eyes, rubbing his eyes and hissing at the pain he still felt all over his body.

'Dejun, what happened?' Kunhang asked in a worried tone.

'That Renjun kid... I knew we couldn't trust him.' Dejun chuckled sarcastically.

Dejun picked up one of the bullets with a pincer and looked at the way the light of the lamp reflected in it. Something didn't feel right. Dejun, even though he didn't look like it, was an observant person who noticed every odd detail.

The texture of the bullet wasn't the usual.

He smirked as he felt a presence behind him.

'I know you're here, Renjun.' He turned around to face the younger, right on time to avoid the glass test tube that was about to be smashed against his head.

The tube broke and pieces of glass went flying all over the place. Renjun tsked in frustration and threw a punch at Dejun. What he didn't expect was for the older to actually be good at this, Dejun avoided his fist skilfully and gripped his forearm. Renjun reacted quickly by kneeing the older right where it hurt the most.

Dejun groaned in pain as he felt the younger freeing himself from his grip. Renjun tried to get away, but Dejun held the pain in and used all his strength to sneak his hands around Renjun's waist to lift him up and send him flying until he landed on the table.

The materials that were once neatly placed on the table were now scattered over the floor, some of them broken. The remaining pices of the glass test tube pierced through Renjun's clothes and wounded slightly the skin of his back.

Dejun saw Renjun clumsily jumping off the table to the opposite side, only for the younger's legs to give up and his butt to land on the floor. Renjun picked the first thing he found on the floor, which happened to be some sharp scissors, and threw them against Dejun. Dejun used his left arm to protect himself out of reflex and the scissors made a small incision in Dejun's forearm.

Renjun used the distraction to crawl his way to the vampires' cages and opened the one he was closest to. The vampire, eager to get out of there, jumped out of the cage immediately.

The smell of blood made Mark's instincts go crazy, and the rage he had been suppressing during the past days added to his aggressiveness.

In the blink of a human eye Mark was already in front of Dejun, slamming the weak human against a cabinet. The glass door of the cabinet cracked, but it was resistant enough not to break. Mark's hands gripped tightly around Dejun's throat, ready to end his miserable life in an instant.

He wanted Dejun to pay for everything they had done to Johnny and him.

'Mark, don't!'

Mark turned around, still gripping onto the human's throat, to see Renjun looking at him with pleading eyes.

'Please, don't kill him...'

'But-'

'He's a bad person, but that doesn't give us the right to kill him. Let's just lock him in a cage until they find him.'

Mark obeyed, though he wanted to kill Dejun so badly. Due to all the time he'd been constricting the human's throat, Dejun had already passed out. The vampire placed him in the cage and locked it.

Renjun had opened Johnny's cage and was waiting for the taller to get out.

'Johnny, we have to go back home!'

Johnny didn't move a single muscle.

'Come on, we don't have much time. Let's go.'

'No. Ten told me to wait until he comes back.'

Mark slammed his fist against the cage Dejun was in in frustration.

'For fuck's sake, Johnny. Are you going to obey Ten like a fucking pet? Let's get out of this hell, yeah? Ten is a horrible person, just like Dejun. We have to leave, NOW!'

'But I want to wait for Ten! He will come with us.'

'Why the fuck would Ten come with us?! You want him to kill the rest of our friends?!'

'Ten wouldn't! Ten and I are in love, he wouldn't hurt-'

'Ten doesn't love you.'

'But he said-'

'TEN. DOESN'T. LOVE. YOU.'

Admin right here :D
