Nightingale | Hyung line FF✔

Namjoon had entered after Jin, and while I had smiled brightly at his cute dimples.... the sight that came into view made me almost gasp in shock. Clung to Namjoon's side was a woman... Long, dark hair that curled at the ends, she was wearing a very sheer dress that revealed her middle and the chain around her waist.I didn't know who she was, but she was clung to him like she knew him very well. It was a confusing sight to see, especially since Jin, Hoseok, and Yoongi seemed to know who she was and didn't mind her hanging all over Namjoon. As shocked as I was, what hurt the most was seeing how he held her in his arms while she leaned against him more. He was smiling and laughing with her.... they all were. I didn't want to, but I knew I had to leave. I got up from the floor and made my way back to the hall. I couldn't see what was going on anymore, and I didn't want to.

My mind felt empty. My eyes were filled with tears and my chest felt like it was on fire. I had to leave... but I couldn't. Not unless I wanted to throw away the hope of making the world better, and throw away my very own life. I couldn't just do that... even if in the moment I felt like everything was strangely warped and like no place was safe for me.

I got back to my room and stayed there for the rest of the night. I had trouble sleeping, wondering why the Masters were having company at this hour. I wondered if she'd left.... or was she spending the night with him? Was she spending the night with all of them? I didn't want to consider it, didn't want to think about those things.
I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling until my eyes would no longer stay open. I almost regretted ever closing them.

Darkness was surrounding me again, those mocking voices... this time they had a new purpose- to sneer and taunt at how I was not her..... her.... the one clung to Namjoon, and before I could try to ignore the thoughts, there they were. The four Masters before, the ones sworn to protect me, with that woman hanging all over them. In this nightmare... her dress was more sheer, see-through even. She was dancing between each of them, pressing her body to theirs and I felt anger bubble inside of me... I felt hurt, vengeful....
She started to touch each of them, pressing her lips to theirs as she ran her hands down their bodies. She would look at me, then she removed her dress. I wanted to look away, wanted to ignore this sight, but I couldn't. They began to touch her and that's when I lost it, screaming out as I forced my hands to cover my face. I screamed so loud I sat up in bed, panting.
Brigsby barged in and looked around the room.

"Nightingale? Are you alright?" He questioned. Soon all four Masters were in my room as well. I was shaking with a mix of confusion and anger.

"Little bird?" Hoseok softly questioned. I however.... wasn't in the mood.

"Get out..." I said so quietly I almost wasn't sure I'd even said it.

"What was that?" Master Jin asked.

"I said.... GET OUT!" I looked at them, yelling at them before throwing a pillow in their direction. They looked at one another, confused.

"Nightingale..." Namjoon went to speak but I glared at him, standing up on my bed I threw another pillow, this time at him.

"I SAID GET OUT! GO BACK TO YOUR WHORE!" The words came, ripping from my throat but I almost didn't recognise the voice speaking them, there was so much malice in the words. I insulted this random woman... but I didn't know her, it was rude of me to judge so quickly... but I also couldn't help the rage inside of me.
The four left the room, confusion on their faces as they did. Brigsby took my hand and pulled me back onto the bed.

"Nightingale, what's wrong?" He asked with sincerity. I clung to him and cried at that moment, the anger turning into a thick heavy weight on my chest.
"It's alright Nightingale, whatever is going on.. we'll figure it out." He spoke, petting my hair gently, doing what he could to comfort me.
The next morning I felt foolish, terrible for something I'd said that now I could see was irrational. But could I be forgiven for my words? That night, I went down for dinner. Brigsby joined me and everyone else showed up after us, once more this woman was with them.

"This Anysa, Anysa... this is Nightingale." Hoseok introduced her. She smiled at me but there was something behind that smile that made me feel uneasy.

"Well aren't you an adorable little thing." She grinned, taking a seat on Master Hoseok's lap. She ran her hand along Namjoon's arm as he took his seat. The smile he gave her made my heart hurt. The hiss from Hoseok as she wiggled in his lap also made my heart hurt... what the hell was going on here? It was more than confusing.

"I'd stop your moving if I were you, you'll get in trouble." Hoseok teased her and started to nibble on her ear.

"Anysa is a sorceress. She's masking the manor so we're all quite safe." Jin explained.

"Mhmm." She grinned. I couldn't take my eyes off her, and that only made the anger I felt grow more intense.

"A sorceress? So you make love potions and manipulate people's minds?" I asked, my tone was dark again, my irritation obvious... I knew this because Brigsby reached his hand over and placed it on my hand, giving a gentle squeeze. However, I wasn't backing down.

"I could, but..." She leaned forward and smirked. "Between us girls, I don't need any help in that department." She looked over at Namjoon and then looked back at me. "Unless you need something to help you? Is there a boy you like... you're like what... 16?" She had a cockyness to her tone, her implications quite clear.

"Nearly 21 actually, but no. There's no boy I like, if there was though... I'd want his feelings to be real, not a manipulation." I stated, folding my arms. She glared at me for a fraction of a second... but I noticed.

"Well, let me know if you need help." She giggled and started to grind her lower body against Hoseok again. He growled and pushed her over the table. I'd never seen him like this, the others didn't seem to care at all. Before I could process things, she moaned as he stood up.... he was... he was taking her right there at the dinner table? I stood up abruptly and went to storm off. I refused to watch that.

"T-that's my cue to... to leave I think." Brigsby was flustered but grabbed my plate and followed me from the room. I didn't notice my own tears at that moment that had started to fall. How could Master Hoseok do such a thing? How could the others just sit there and not mind it. Master Jin and Master Yoongi said nothing... Namjoon didn't even move.
Something didn't feel right about this at all...

Things continued, I didn't see much of the Masters but with my 21st birthday only a few days away... I started to lose my temper. I accidentally broke the sink in one of the downstairs bathrooms. I accidently set the curtains in the library on fire... I was starting to avoid most rooms, choosing to primarily stay in my own room. I thought it could work, but that night I couldn't sleep, so I wandered...
Namjoon's doors were near as I walked to the other side of the manor. What I wasn't expecting was for his doors to open and that woman to appear. She stopped, looked around and then smirked.

"Hello, little one." She tried to sound sweet but she was giving me creepy vibes.
"Couldn't sleep? Namjoon's a bit... spent, I'm afraid." She grinned. I knew what she meant.. she had been giving herself to them, for what, I wasn't sure.

"You won't be here much longer." I said softly, not sure why I said it.

"Oh? Is that so?" She almost laughed, putting her hands on her hips, her robe puling away a bit and showing she was clearly wearing nothing underneath.
"I have it on good authority that I'll be around for a very, very long time." She was being cocky, thinking she knew... but something inside me was forcing it's way out.
"I don't know why the malicious looks, little one. I'm protecting you... am I not?" She asked, swaying her hips as she walked closer. I was frozen on the spot though, the anger.. the voices... all of it bubbling up inside of me.

"Stay back..." I warned her through clenched teeth. I wasn't sure I could hold these emotions back... and rarely did anything good ever come from letting out these emotions.Though I warned Anysa to stay back, she kept coming towards me. She seemed to know I was in danger of other creatures, but she didn't seem to realize that she was in danger from me.

"Little girl, you need to calm." She said, looking to each side of the hall. I hadn't noticed but I'd blown out every wall lamp that lit the hallway.

"You need to keep back, actually.. you should leave." I tried to hold back my anger but it didn't work. The power inside of me was threatening to break loose. I wasn't sure how strong she was as a sorceress, but the power in me felt too strong. Part of me was afraid to hurt her, another part of me wanted to hurt her. Anysa started to move her hands, her lips started to curl up as she was clearly using her magic on me.

"You're getting on my nerves little girl. Let me comfort Namjoon and the others. Their feelings for me are quite real and you couldn't even begin to satisfy them." She said, pushing my buttons. A wind came from seemingly nowhere, swirling down the hall and twisting around both of us.

"I'm giving you one last warning. LEAVE!" I yelled at her. She didn't seem to care though and her fingertips shot bolts of lightning out at me.

"Hmmm. Well then. If you insist. This will be one hell of a storm though." She muttered as her wind picked up in speed and intensity. I didn't know how much longer I could hold back. The wind was becoming too strong, and I could feel myself losing control of my body. I started to feel dizzy, and my legs were starting to give out. I closed my eyes, letting myself be one with the storm that was raging inside of me.

The ground started to shake beneath my feet, making it hard to stand. I had no choice but to unleash what I felt inside. The world became dark around us, and I could feel myself tingling with lighting. The wind became so strong, that I was struggling to breathe.

"Breathe... my sweet Nightingale." Namjoon's voice seemed to come from nowhere, and then I felt the warmth around my hand. I was holding Namjoon's hand, but the rest of my body felt numb. I couldn't feel my legs anymore, if was as if I was floating. My eyes locked onto his and I could no longer see Anysa, it was just him, just Master Namjoon, looking up at me as he held my hand. I was floating... It scared me but he pulled my focus to him.

"Calm down my sweet bird. I need you to focus on me, okay?" He said, I nodded.

"Good girl. Now.." He pulled me to him, lips attaching to mine and everything inside of me I had felt melted away. His kiss, the way he held me to him, his touch... all of it took over every part of me. I felt the ground at my feet again, the carpet in the hall.

My body tingled with warmth, but it ended so soon.

"There we go, everything's fine now." Namjoon said, caressing my hair. I looked up at him, my eyes looking for a sign that he wanted more. It was there, faint.. but it was there.

"Anysa? What are you-" I heard Master Hoseok ask and when I finally broke from Namjoon's gaze, I looked to see Anysa on the floor in the hall. A slight smirk on her face, she got up and limped towards Namjoon.

"Joonie... I don't.. I don't know what happened. I tried to get her to calm down, she saw me coming out of your room and-" She looked pitiful, but I had seen the smirk she had before. She was playing them for fools.

"What happened here, little bird? You were losing control in front of Anysa." Hoseok asked me as he checked her over.

"I.." I let out a sigh, realizing nothing I said could make this better. They apparently didn't see what I had. I wanted to tell them, their behavior was so irrational to me. Clearly they were bewitched.

"Will you be alright now?" Namjoon asked. I nodded, giving up.

"I'll be okay, I'm sorry." I muttered, Namjoon was still able to hear me and he placed a kiss on my head as he released me from his hold and stepped back.

"Then we should return to our rooms for rest. Anysa, we'll see you tomorrow then?" He asked her, she nodded.

"Of course sweetheart. You know I don't like being away for too long." She smiled and he nodded, smiling back a bit.

 "Goodnight, sweet Nightingale." He said to me as he walked back to his room. Hoseok had done the same, waving goodnight and goodbye to Anysa before he disappeared back into his room. Anysa smirked and walked right up to me, stopping very close to me.

"You can try to tell them what you want, all you want. But they won't believe you. I've known them for a long time, little one. They know me, they trust me, they love me." She continued to smirk, clearly very confident in her words.
"You should give up, I'm protecting you for now, but in two days.... I won't need to, and I'll be finally rid of you." She grinned wide and chuckled a bit as she passed by me, making her way downstairs. I didn't know what to do. She was manipulating them... and.. how did she know? Did the others tell her? I thought they said no one could be trusted? I was so confused, I went back to my room and tried to think of a way to get them to see what she was doing, what she was trying to do.
