BTS | FANFICTION

Chapter VIII

I had to get out of here. Go home, back to mother and the life I long to have back.

Although living inside the palace sounds like a dream to some people, but not for me. I just wish to return home because that's the life I know, not here living lavishly in an unfamiliar place. Besides, I need answers. Answers I know my mother has for me.

I do not know what to make of tonight with what I have learned, but what I am certain of is that I cannot stay here any longer. There isn't any way that I'm staying here forever, not while my mother is out there in the village, living in the freezing cold, slowly starving herself to death. I can't stay here another night, but the idea of escaping twists my stomach. Not only that, but I do not wish to upset the prince by disobeying him. Taehyung has been nothing but kind to me and truth be told, I rather enjoyed his company.

Wait.

"What are you talking about?" I hit the side of my head as I close the double doors behind me.

Enjoyed his company? I scoff to myself. Becoming a blood servant has definitely made my crazy. I mean, what the hell is the matter with me? I despised their kind and everything they stand for. They're monsters that suck our blood for their benefit and theirs only. And they're dead inside and out. They're not even alive.

Ugh.

I head into the dining room where placed on the lengthy table are different kinds of pastries, cakes, sweets, chocolates, crips, fruits and packets of nuts laid on the table, waiting to be eaten. If I am to leave the palace right now, I'm going to need a lot of energy to make it through the night. It'll take at least an hour or two to reach the village, but it would take much less if I were on horseback. I cannot waste time searching for one when I can have a head start without one. I must get to my mother tonight. So, with the image of my mother suffering in my head, I grab as many things that can fit inside the pockets of my dress and run towards the front door, but that's when a voice halts my movements.

"Is someone trying to escape?'

I gasp as I cover my hand over my heart and whirl around to see the last person I expected to see tonight.

Jimin.

I take a deep breath to steady my beating heart. "Even if I were escaping, what business is that of yours?'

He tilts his head to the side. "Is that a wise thing to do when living under the roof of your master? He is a vampire or have you forgotten that?"

Of course, I haven't!

But Taehyung wouldn't touch me. He told me so himself.

"What are you doing here?" I rasp.

"I said this wasn't over, human. I have been waiting for you to be alone since our last time together."

I look around and wonder where he came from? Had he been waiting for a while? I did not see or hear him entering the room. It was as though he appeared out of thin air.

He studies me. "I can see on your face curiosity of how I got inside the palace."

All I know about him is that he's a faerie, but nothing about his abilities.

Although I'm curious, I don't admit it. I look at him instead with disinterest. "I do not care about that, but what I do care about is why are you bothering me?"

He comes to stand in front of me and slowly reaches into one of my pockets and pulls out a muffin. "I like bothering you. It amuses me."

Amuses him?
