Stay Gold

A Dragon?!!!

Elizabeth's pov

I made small talk with Hoseok, getting to know more about him and where he came from. Jimin had been quiet throughout the duration of the walk, I could tell he was still having trouble with fully trusting Hoseok, even though he was an Angel. In the short time that we had met Hoseok, I learned that he was born an Angel. And for a while, he spent time here in the forest with a dragon, who became his best friend when they much younger. It was interesting to learn where Hoseok had come from, he really seemed like a nice person. "So this warlock-?" Jimin started, I looked over at him as he had finally fell into step beside me. "You never really told me much about him." He finished, his brown eyes staring forward. I looked down at the grass beneath my feet, feeling a bit queasy when I thought about him. I curled my hands into fists, feeling a surge of anger run through my veins. It seemed that Hoseok noticed the change in my mood because he grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze. I looked up at him, relaxing slightly and uncurled my fists.

"He's an evil, vindictive and stupid asshole. I hate him with every fiber of my being and I know hate is a strong word but it's what I feel towards him. And I'm not the only one who hates his guts, so does Damian and Baekhyun. And a large majority of the people in my town as well, they don't trust him. And I don't blame them for it." I paused for a moment, calming myself down by taking a deep breath. "He's always harassed my family.. It started when my parents and his parents were younger. They had some kind of rivalry and I never knew what really started it. Neither did Damian... And when we got older, he just became so much worse. His parents moved on and left us kids alone but their son didn't. He harassed Damian, Baekhyun and I all the time. Each time, he was always using spells and stuff to bother us... And one day.." I shook my head, "One day, he ruined everything. He killed two people who meant a lot to Damian and I. I never forgave him for that.. And I never will. Damian hasn't forgiven him for that either. This warlock has a weird twisted affection for Damian, which has always worried me. He could be doing god knows what to Damian and I have no clue because I'm not there to stop it." I ranted, taking a deep breath before continuing what I knew.

"Look, all you really have to know about him are these two things: First point, he hates anyone who tries to stop his plans and two, he never let's anything stop him from achieving what he wants. If he wants to get away, then he'll find a way to get away from you." I explained, carefully stepping over branches.

"He sounds like a handful-" Jimin said, looking over at me.

"He is." I said, "I wish... I just wish he would just leave Damian, Baekhyun and I alone. There's no reason for him to bother us." I finished, feeling angry and hurt.

"Ah, here we are." Hoseok smiled, turning both of our attention to him. When I looked ahead of us, there was a giant cave we were standing in front of. "He lives in a cave?" Jimin quirked an eyebrow, "Well, there is a house in there too when he isn't in his dragon form. But yes, for the most part, he lives in a cave." Hoseok said, beginning to walk into the cave. "Why do I have a creepy feeling about this cave?" Jimin asked, as Hoseok led us into it. "You're not the only one getting the creeps, Jimin." I said, "Guys, we will be just fine. There's nothing else living in this cave except for my best friend." Hoseok lit his hand, making sure that we could see and continued to lead us further until we reached a house. The house was small but it looked cozy, the house had been made of concrete and it was painted a nice shade of blue. It looked like it was a one story house, big enough for at least four people. It was dimly lit meaning that the person living there was awake, or hated having the lights off.

"So..." Jimin turned to Hoseok, who stepped forward to the door. He held up a hand to knock, when the door suddenly swung open. Hoseok lowered his hand, "Who the-" A voice called out, I couldn't see who it was since Hoseok was standing directly in front of him.

"Hobi? What are you doing here? Not that I'm not glad to see you, because I am. But you haven't come around in months. What are you doing here?" A smooth deep voice rang out, which sent chills down my spine. I absolutely love the sound of this person's voice, whoever they may be.

"Well, I came to see you, of course. But I also need your help." Hoseok said, "Ah, you know, I would do anything to help you, Hobi." The young man said, "What is it that you need?" He asked, his voice was giving me warm vibes. It seemed that even with Hoseok just showing up very late at night at his house, he was willing to drop everything and help his best friend. "Well... I have some friends." Hoseok looked back at Jimin and I, "I know how you feel about humans.. But this one is different from the ones that you have encountered. And my job is to help and protect her on her long journey." He stated, turning back to the young man.

"You are traveling with a human?" The young man sounded a bit angry, which made me nervous. I knew that humans and dragons now-a-days were on bad terms because of what some humans decided to do. They haven't been treating dragons nicely these days, some of them have even slain them for their treasures or skin. Jimin seemed to have noticed his disdain for humans, he stepped closer to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Hyung, I know how you feel but I promise this human is nothing like the ones you have encountered."

"Fine. What else?"

"I also have a fairy with me. And we not only need a safe place to stay for the night, but I need your help with something else. The reason why this human is traveling through the woods is because a dangerous warlock attacked her home and kidnapped her brother. She is going to get him back, but she needs all the help she can get. This warlock might be the same one that harmed you all those years ago." Hoseok explained, there was a slight moment of silence between the two.

"Alright, fine. You guys can stay here. And I'll help. But only if that warlock is the one that did me wrong." He whispered to Hoseok, but I couldn't tell what he said. A warm smile passed on Hoseok's face, as he suddenly hugged the young man. "Thank you so much, Hyung." Jimin and I looked at one another, wondering what exactly he said to make Hoseok hug him.

"Yeah, no problem." He said, he sounded a bit uncomfortable because of the hug but it seemed that he didn't mind the discomfort. Hoseok stepped to the side, revealing the young man who he had been talking to. The young man has a triangular shaped face, a buttoned shaped nose which is just adorable, triangular eyes and mouth. I noticed that his gaze is cold and empty, you can't see anything but a dark dim forest. I would think that most people would say that he looks or reminds them of a cat, which is the complete opposite of what he really is. He has pale snow-white skin, like a vampire, and dark brown eyes. He stood just as tall as Jimin, he looked a bit older than us. He has soft cheeks, a soft jawline, and very pouty, soft lips. His upper lip dips in a little deeper than the lower does, very daintily. He has a combination of monolid/double eyelids. He has a cute little mole on his left cheek and nose. Anyone who looked at him could possibly mistake him for a porcelain doll. He had long silver hair, which was styled perfectly into a mullet. It looked really good on him too, this made me seriously self conscious. How is it that I keep running into these handsome men? I mean Jimin is extremely handsome and so is Hoseok.

"The human is a young girl?" He asked, "Yes. Her name is Elizabeth. And that is Jimin." Jimin waved his hand, giving the young man a light smile as to feel less awkward.

"Guys, this is Min Yoongi. He's my best friend and he'll help us."

"It's nice to meet you, Yoongi." I smiled at him lightly, "Thank you for helping me in my journey."

"Yeah, okay. Come in, will ya?" Yoongi said, walking into the house. Hoseok smiled, following Yoongi into the house. Jimin looked to me and the two of us shrugged, heading into the house.
