With You, Under the Moonlight

First Floor

***Warning: Minor level of gore and violence***

"Stay in the car" Jungkook says to Yeonjun, and he does. Or he did, but nothing could keep him inside the confinement of the vehicle the minute that mansion wall exploded. Stumbling out of the car, Yeonjun focuses on leaving behind the ringing in his ears as he makes his way to the doors. He has to see what the hell is going on; to be sure Soobin was ok.

"Yeonjun! Look out!" he hears Jungkook's voice call after him, and he looks to his left a split second before he's hauled across the gravel driveway. Trusting his stinging palms and aching side to heal quickly, he stumbles to his feet. He turns his head to JK who is now surrounded by four figures dressed in black. What looks like a thin rope seeps out of the man's wrist and once it gets to a good length, he makes the first move. Gripping it tight, he cracks the whip at an approaching figure to his side, leaving a deep gash across the person's chest, and they collapse.

Is that...his blood? Yeonjun has always wondered what powers the others possessed, and from what he's seeing, Jungkook's is controlling his blood like a whip to grab, constrict, and slice through his enemies.

His sense of awe abruptly comes to an end when, with being momentarily distracted, another blow sends Yeonjun to the ground and knocks the wind out of him. Coughing, he looks up to see three figures staring down at him. Adrenaline preparing him for more blows, Yeonjun tenses up at their movements but instead of punches or kicks, they collapse like dominos and specks of blood land on Yeonjun's face in their fall.

Blood seeps out of small, gruesome holes through each of the figures' necks before the flesh filling their dark cloths depletes to sand. They're dead. Looking behind where his attackers once stood stands the driver, breathing heavily with glowing red eyes and five other piles of sand surrounding him.

"Are you ok?!"

Trying to hide his shock and fear, all Yeonjun could manage was a nod, allowing himself to be pulled up. After no longer being occupied by their attackers, Yeonjun notices just how loud the mansion is and the thought of what kind of bloody fight is going on inside pushes the stumbles out of his feet as JK pulls him closer and closer to the doors.

They push the doors open to a strangely empty room that stops them in their tracks. Staring straight ahead, Jungkook motions Yeonjun to stay close. Moving across the marbled floor with caution in every step, they make their way towards the divide in the room with three separate hallways. They choose the second one because it's not only where the most muffled-like sound is coming from, but where the calamity in the air was the strongest.

With the vampire experienced in what seems to be more than just driving guiding the way, they inched closer and closer down the long hallway, checking every corner, doorway, and anything else deemed suspicious they come across.

After surprisingly making it down the hallway without any physical trouble, the pair come across the doorway that leads into the great room where the soirée was to be held. Together, they burst through the entrance to complete chaos.

Blood, fear, anger, and death all mixed together creating the perfect scene for a battle. There's so many people Yeonjun doesn't recognize fighting each other; vampires fighting vampires, hunters fighting hunters, and vampires fighting hunters. Yeonjun can't make sense of any of it and decides to just focus on finding Beomgyu, Taehyun, Huening Kai, and Soobin.

Weaving through the action, Yeonjun barely evades the ricocheting attacks dodged, or taken, by the targets. The two run room to room looking for anyone they might know when a flash of light emits from an archway. Sharing a look in agreement to check it out, Yeonjun and JK leans their backs against the wall and peeks in.

Inside the dimly lit room resides Taehyun and Beomgyu fending off a large group of vampires and hunters. Battered and bruised, Beomgyu maintains his swift dodges and blocks any attacks against him and Taehyun, striking fatal pressure points within their opponents openings. The technique the shaggy haired boy was using reminded Yeonjun of a dance while Taehyun moved his fingertips through space, gathering electricity as they went before he sets off his attack that releases deadly lightning, striking anyone nearby that isn't Beomgyu.

After seeing the surrounding enemies falling victim to the pair's destructive skills, Yeonjun's heart flutters with pride but then quickly sinks at the sight of more people replacing those who have fallen.

"It's ok, they'll be fine!" says Jungkook, "They've been trained well, and I'm sure one of the others will help if they think they are taking on too much than they can handle." Yeonjun reluctantly turns his head to the older with a pleading look "We'd have a better chance with those two." he says sternly. JK sighs, "You're right" and he runs over to the pair.

Taking down the enemies happened much quicker with Jungkook added to the duo and you could almost see the stars in Taehyun and Beomgyu's eyes when they saw that he came to help.

It was an amazing sight for Yeonjun to see. There was a nearly unrecognizable darkness in Beomgyu's eyes with a dark aura that weaves through his fluid movements of blocks and strikes. Fueled by anger and survival, Taehyun was causing excruciating pain that surges through the bodies of his enemies with even the slightest touch and Yeonjun couldn't help but notice the wicked satisfaction behind the red glow of his eyes. Yeonjun would take this as an intense reminder of just how powerful these people really are; a kind of level he will never reach.

The last enemy has fallen and the three froze waiting for more. When their instincts told them they can relax for now, the three loosened their guard and Beomgyu and Taehyun flung themselves at each other in an embrace. Jungkook gently smiled at them then looked over to Yeonjun who was pressed up against the wall. He thought it best to hide in plain sight inside the room rather than try to find someplace outside where the rest of the action is happening.

They exchange a nod and the older turns, resting a hand on the couple's shoulders.

"We have to keep moving. We need to find Namjoon and Soobin and hopefully any of the others."

Reluctantly melting away from each other, the two stay connected by their interlaced hands and JK leads the way to check the next floor for their companions.
