Dogs

"Dogs," Felix cursed, Hyunjin nodding at the word.

"Fuck you, Chan. He actually brought those mutts around after all, the ever diligent bastard."

At Hyunjin's questioning gaze, Felix sighed, leaning closer to breathe in Hyunjin's ears, feeling the vampire tremble beneath him:

"Half-weres," the hunter muttered, "Dogs are just another breed. It'll be a genuine Bloodhound if Chan got lucky, probably some type of dog hybrid the labs spewed out and left to die, now repurposed for us."

"Over here!"

Hyunjin's nose twitched again, and the vampire gripped at the hunter's sleeves, talons catching on Felix's jacket as their eyes peered into his, urgent and afraid.

I don't want to die.

Felix's head felt ready to burst, the sound of footsteps getting closer as the hunter leaned in once again, eyes scanning the vampire's face.

"Do you trust me?"

A pause.

Then, the vampire looked down, almost in shame, hiding their face away.

"Hyung, I sense something over here! Here, over here!"

Felix swore, shook Hyunjin again, forcing the vamp to look up at him.

"Listen up. If you don't wanna die, you gotta trust me, alright? Can you do that?"

Hyunjin looked back, grey eyes trembling, and squeezed Felix's arm in tandem.

"Yes."

Felix let out his breath, pulling back from Hyunjin, smiling back at the vampire.

"Thank you."

And then, in one smooth action, the hunter pulled out his gun and fired.

The howl that tore itself out of Hyunjin's lips was almost animalistic as Felix moved in, purposefully walking into the vamp's swings as he winces, bracing himself as Hyunjin's nails ripped both cloth and flesh, fangs snapping as the hunter drops his gun, tackling the vampire to the ground.

"Quiet down," Felix whispered, listening to the calls of the backup group, the loud stomps of feet getting closer. Hyunjin squirmed under him, thrashing between Felix's thighs pinning him down. His fangs glittered in the pale light of the moon, and Felix had to press down on Hyunjin's torso to keep the vamp still as he inspected the gunshot.

As expected, the bullet grazed the top of Hyunjin's shoulder, the smell of burnt flesh and singed cloth apparent as Felix breathed out a sigh of relief. The scent of old blood, consumed blood which ran through a vampire's veins would be a dead giveaway to the Hound, Felix taking the liberty to press down more in order to smear it across Hyunjin's clothes, the vampire letting out a piercing shriek as the hunter worked. The flow of blood was slow, and Felix slowed down to watch Hyunjin's skin try to close, little patches of flesh moving to push the wound together, the vampire hissing as the skin sizzled each time it touched the silver trail of the bullet's path.

"Stay still," Felix muttered, ripping a piece of his sleeve off to press against the wound, murmuring soothing words to the vampire as they whined at the pressure, cloth slowly turning maroon. "When was the last time you fed?"

Hyunjin's breathing was rapid, Felix feeling the vampire nearly hyperventilating as their lungs fluttered.

"I... A week ago? Two weeks? Fuck— it hurts, Lix, it hurts so fucking much—"

"I got you," Felix says, tearing his sleeve off and wincing at the sting it brought, the pieces of cloth caught in Hyunjin's scratches tearing through the flesh and bringing with it a wave of blood, dripping down the length of the hunter's arms.
