The Stars Within Us [BOOK 2]

"Turn into a wolf right now." He said.

"No."

"No?" He repeated.

"No."

He sighed. "I'm trying to make this easy for you. But if you don't want to cooperate." He walked to the lever in the room and pulled it down.

A wave of electricity went through the chair Jeongyeon sat on, electrocuting her.

She screamed in pain, gripping the arm rests.

Seonghwa pushed the lever back up. Jeongyeon sat there sweating. She wanted to shrivel up.

"I'll tell you again, turn into a wolf." He said, standing right in front of the woman.

Jeongyeon did so, she turned instantly but pain was brought to her as her wolf form wasn't able to sit comfortably on the chair. The straps on her arms and legs worsened the pain of her left hand and right kneecap.

Seonghwa walked around the shaking wolf. "Interesting."

"Kinda disappointing to me," Said Lucas, "She just looks like a normal wolf. I expected something better."

"It's a person who can turn into a wolf, that is interesting enough for me." Seonghwa looked at Jeongyeon, "You can turn back now."

Jeongyeon turned back, breathing heavily, she was tired.

Seonghwa continued to question her. "Does it hurt when you turn into a wolf?"

"No, but it does hurt when I have a broken hand, kneecap and been electrocuted." She sounded aggravated.

"I did tell you there would be punishments for not following our orders."

"Fuck your orders."

"Woah do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Lucas asked.

"I never met my mother. She's probably dead, like you will be when I get out of here."

"Woah so scary." Lucas said, obviously being sarcastic. "You are the one stuck on a chair while I have a lever." He pulled the lever again, sending electricity through Jeongyeon's body.

"That's enough." Jaehyun's voice blasted through the room's speakers. "We don't want her to die just yet."

"Yes sir." Said Lucas and Seonghwa at the sametime.

The same guards that brought Jeongyeon to the room came back to take her. Jeongyeon was released from the chair's cuffs and taken out of the room. She was too hurt to fight them so she quietly followed the guards to her cell.

The metal door clanked open and Jeongyeon walked inside.

"Jeongyeon!" Nayeon stood up from the bed and ran to her. Blood was dripping from Jeongyeon's hand and the blood from her kneecap stained her white clothing.

"What did you do to her?" Nayeon yelled, standing in front of Jeongyeon to block the guards from Jeongyeon.

"Nothing. Lunch will be served in an hour." The guards then left.

Nayeon looked up and down at Jeongyeon's body. She held her hands. "What did they do?"

"They asked me a few questions and-" Jeongyeon's right leg buckled, making her fall on the ground.

Nayeon grabbed Jeongyeon and put her arm around Jeongyeon's waist, slowly walking her to the bed.

"Thanks." Jeongyeon sat down, "One of them, his name is Lucas. He's the reason why I'm bleeding."

"I'm going to kill him." She clenched her fists. "I'm going to kill everyone who works here."

Jeongyeon chuckled. "There is always a fire burning in you. I wonder how I always kept up with you." She chuckled again, but this time she gripped her stomach as it started to hurt.

"Your kneecap, it's still bleeding."

Jeongyeon looked down, "Oh yeah."

"Here." Nayeon took off her button up shirt, revealing her bra. She used the shirt to tie around Jeongyeon's leg, right above the broken kneecap.

"Thanks." She looks up and sees Nayeon in her bra. Her cheeks turn red.

Nayeon noticed and laughed, "Still get red from me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." She turned her head away from Nayeon.

"You are as red as your kneecap."

"Oh yeah. It must be because of the pain. Yes, I should sleep then."

"Stop lying." Nayeon laughed. "But yeah, you should sleep."

Jeongyeon laid down on the bed and placed the blanket on herself, "Wake me up when lunch comes."

"Yes Ma'am." She said, going to her bed and laying down.

---------------------

"Go to sleep." He said, rocking Ryujin to sleep. "Papa San is here to keep you safe."

Ryujin cooed. Her eyes draped down, falling fast asleep.

"Good girl." San rolled down his sleeves and turned around to leave the room.

Before he could reach the door, it opened, and Jaehyun walked into the room.

"Haven't I told you that you can't be here?" He asked San.

"Come on, I'm her father and I heard her crying from my office. I couldn't let that happen."

Jaehyun walked closer to San, "Next time you come into this room, your date will be punished."

"Just punish me, no one else needs to get hurt."

"People only learn when their loved ones are injured." Jaehyun walked out the door. "Also, on Thursday I'm going to have a little fun with Nayeon. So take Jeongyeon to the red room."

"No. Not the red room, she's just a girl."

"A girl who can tear armies to shreds. She's going to the red room. So will Ryujin when she grows up." That was the last thing Jaehyun said before he left San.

"Crap." San quickly left the room. He went to his office and grabbed his keys. Leaving the facility and going to his car.

He drove the car out of the parking lot and went to the gate, rolling down the window.

"I thought your shift ends later. Where are you going?" The guard at the gate asked San.

"I forgot I was going to have lunch with some friends. I have to get back to the town quickly or else I'll be late."

"Ah ok. Have a good lunch." He opened the gate by pressing a button.

"Thanks, you too." San pulled his window back up and drove off.

------------

"We only have 5 days till it happens. We can't let it happen."

"That's why I haven't gotten calls from them."

"Wait so you did this?"

"I didn't know this would happen. I'm trying to help them."

"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't help."

"Yes but, someone important to me is in danger and if I don't help him, they could get hurt."

"So what do we do?"

"I don't know, we just have to get them out of there before Thursday."

"But this is like a government facility right? For people like her? Their security is probably stronger than the Pentagon's."

"Yes but I know everything. I know when everything happens. All we need to be careful of is Jaehyun, he is very dangerous and powerful."

"Alright. So what do we do."
