A Fallen Angel's Magic!

Elizabeth's pov

As we trekked through another part of the woods, a strange feeling washed over my body and I shivered. "You cold?" Jimin asked, turning my attention to him. "No, just got a chill. I'm fine, I promise." I gave him a small smile, he nodded and turned his attention behind him as we heard Hobi and Taehyung whisper fighting with one another. I sighed, rolling my eyes at the two of them as they paid no attention to anyone else in the group but each other. "Jeez, those two butt heads are worse than Yoongi and Jimin." Jin muttered, he was walking beside Jimin and I. We were walking directly behind Yoongi, while Hoseok and Taehyung were behind the three of us. "Yeah, I agree." Jimin nodded, "Why do you say that?" I looked at Jin, adjusting my jacket. "Well, think about it. They are the complete opposite of one another. Hobi is an angel, he's light and peaceful-" Jin started, "Unless someone harms Liz," Jimin interrupted. "Right, unless someone harms you, Elizabeth. And Taehyung is a Fallen Angel, filled with darkness. They are the complete opposites of one another meaning they are bound to butt heads a lot. But.." Jin looked over his shoulder, finding that the two were glaring harshly at one another. I turned around and shook my head at the two, turning back around, facing front and looked ahead to Yoongi. "Hobi might just care about Taehyung. Even if they are opposites from one another, I think Hobi has a soft spot for those younger than him." Jin finished, looking back at them briefly then flitting his eyes back to us. "You're right about that." Yoongi chimed in, turning our attention to him. "Hobi has always had a soft spot for those younger than him. No matter what who and where they are from, no matter whether they are human or not. Hobi often feels responsible for those younger than him, so he will do a lot to keep them safe." Yoongi stated, he never once looked back at us and instead kept his gaze on the map and would occasionally glance up in front of him. As I saw the sky darken, I became little more wary of everything in the woods around us. Soon enough, Yoongi found us a place to camp for the night. This time the place was surrounded by tall trees, nowhere near water. The area was very open, very beautiful but with it being night time everything seemed scarier than it did earlier. I placed myself near a tree, which had the best view to keep an eye around the area. Jimin and Yoongi made sure that the area was safe enough, "Alright, I'm going to place charms around the area. Make sure that nobody unwanted enters." Jimin said, turning to leave.

"Make sure you use stronger ones than you did last time. We don't another werewolf popping up while we're eating." Yoongi taunted, Jimin gave him a look of annoyance and rolled his eyes. "Actually, there's no need for that." Taehyung spoke, turning everyone's attention onto him.

"And why is that?" Yoongi quirked an eyebrow at Taehyung, who only smirked.

"Because as soon as we got over here, I placed a barrier around the area which lets the other supernatural creatures in this part of the Woods not to come here." Taehyung waved his hand, and motioned for us to look up. I stared in awe as a purple dome shaped barrier shined around the area, some of the trees being slipped completely in half. I was in shock at the sight of the barrier, I looked at Taehyung who seemed very pleased with everyone's reaction to his magic. There was a familiar look in his eyes, it was all to familiar to me. Because I had once given that same look when I finally mastered sword wielding against Baekhyun, it was the first time that I had properly been able to and they were so proud of me. I looked around the group, just watching the different reactions of everyone else as we looked up at the barrier.

"This is incredible." Jin said, looking at Taehyung in awe. Hoseok grumbled under his breath, shaking his head but agreed to disagree. So we set up camp, Yoongi lighting a nice fire which kept us warm. I was parked between Hoseok and Jimin, Hobi insisting that he stay seated next to me to keep Taehyung from doing anything to me. Jimin seemed to get along with Taehyung, which made wonder if they were near the same age. I stared up at the dome, my mind wandering off to what Baekhyun could possibly be doing. I just hoped that he was alright, and that Damian was going to be alright.

"So you use charms?" Taehyung asked, his eyes shifting to Jimin.

"Yes, I do."

"And you're a fairy?"

"Yes, I am. Is that a problem?" Jimin quirked an eyebrow at Taehyung, crossing his arms as he looked at him. "No, not really." Taehyung shook his head, "I just think.."

"You just think what?"

"That it's cool that you can use charms. I've never met a fairy who could use charms, which means that you must either have been born of nobility or from a royal bloodline, or you were naturally were born a prodigy." Taehyung smiled, this one seeming like a genuine one. It struck me as odd that Taehyung was a Fallen Angel, yet, he didn't act as mean as most would. He was the complete opposite of Suho, who tried to kill me after he first appeared. "You really think I'm cool because I can use charms?" Jimin chuckled in disbelief, I could see in his eyes that he didn't exactly know whether or not to trust Taehyung and his words. His body language wasn't obvious to everyone else, but I knew that he seemed to be cautious when listening to anything Taehyung has said. "Yes, I do. Like I told you before, I never got to meet a fairy who can use charms. Although, I've met plenty of fairies before." He said, crossing his arms.

"So.. I know that I'm one of the first few Fallen Angels, you've come across. Am I right?" Taehyung turned to me, his green eyes meeting mine.

"Yes. Other than Suho, who tried to kill me. Yes, you are." I nodded.

"Any clue as to why Suho decided to separate Liz from us?" Yoongi asked, "One, she's human. Two, she's a girl. And Suho likes stealing girls from that path, even though we don't get many human girls who travel that path anyway. He'll take whoever he can get. He just happened upon Elizabeth, probably curious as to why she's traveling with so many different supernatural beings, including being escorted around by a Guardian Angel." Taehyung explained, his eyes finding their way onto Hoseok.

"It makes me wonder.."

"Wonder what?" Hobi snapped.

"Why is that you're her Guardian Angel, yet, you can't keep her out of harms' way? Are you really that bad?" Taehyung smirked, this made Hoseok growl and clench his fists tightly.

"Listen, you little shit." Hobi snapped, our eyes widening at the tone and change in attitude towards Taehyung. He stomped over to Taehyung, standing right in front of him. The two of them easily matched heights, but with Hoseok being older, it seemed that he had a bit more power over Taehyung. There was something different about Hobi's demeanor which shocked Jin, Jimin and I. But it seemed that Yoongi had seen him like this before, "You think you could do a better job being a Guardian Angel to her than me? No, I don't think so. You're a Fallen Angel, and what do Fallen Angels do the most. They cause destruction. Pain. Death. Suffering. I'm doing my best as her Guardian Angel, it's not easy being one when you're traveling in the most dangerous parts of the woods and you are in a large group. There is so much going on that you don't realize. Don't judge me about protecting her when you were the very reason, she was put in danger in the first place. And you think that I won't do what it takes to keep her safe, then, you are dead fucking wrong. I'm responsible for her wellbeing, even when she's done with this journey. I was assigned as her Guardian Angel for a reason and I'm not afraid to make that clear to any creature we come across that isn't a friend." Hoseok's hazel eyes looked dark, the expression in them showing just how angry he really was with Taehyung. Taehyung looked very intimidated by Hoseok's anger, it looked as if he wasn't expecting any of it. Without another word, Hoseok turned on his heel and walked over to me. Awkward silence filled the air, Jimin and I sharing a look before looking at Yoongi. I took a seat, setting up my stuff and gave Jimin a blanket. He gratefully took the blanket and plopped down next to me, Yoongi on the other side of me. Knowing that the dome that Taehyung put up would keep us safe, I felt a bit safer and calmer to go to sleep. What I didn't realize was what was to come tomorrow.
