The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 25

Yuri sighed, taking a seat behind the counter of the quiet convenience store. She had a few more hours left of her shift before she could retreat home and get some much needed rest. These were the boring moments she wished she could have a phone to call someone or do something to preoccupy her time.

The clock ticked, making time flow slowly as she just stared out the clear front door, staring at nothing in particular. She tore her eyes away from the buildings that stood across from the store and pulled out the one thing she had in her pocket.

A small, silver knife sat in her hands. She smiled at the memory of when she first received this small present from the group of hunters she had grown close to. It was shortly after the wendigo attack during training. Yoongi was firm when he gave her her first weapon. She initially tried to deny but quickly changed her mind remembering how helpless she felt during the previous encounter. She let the knife spin and rotate through her fingertips. It was truly a beautiful knife. It was small with a sharp pointed top, almost resembling a small sword. A beautiful red gem sat at its center, catching the light just right.

Yuri jumped and put the weapon away, hearing the bell jingle, signaling someone's entrance. A smile graced her features when she locked eyes with the customers.

"I had a feeling you were a bit tired, so I brought some coffee." The man smiled, setting down a cup in front of her.

"You know there is coffee here, right?" Yuri giggled softly at the coffee that was set in front of her.

"Yeah, but this coffee is so much better." Taehyung pushed the cup closer to the small girl.

"You didn't have to do that," Yuri let a smile grace her features, taking the warm drink into her hands. Even with the start of spring, the convenience store decided to blast the air conditioning making it too cold to handle.

Taehyung leaned against the counter, taking a sip of his own drink, eyes never leaving hers, "I know, but I really wanted to."

Yuri couldn't help but roll her eyes as she took a seat behind the counter once again, "Yeah, if you say so."

"I also came because I was wondering if you would come by tomorrow?" Taehyung asked, eyes sparkling as he awaited her answer.

Yuri chuckled softly, "Sure. That sounds great."

Yoongi thrusted on his backpack full of essentials, packed and ready for the trip he had to make to the council. He assumed that the travel time to go there and back would be around two to three days.

He emerged through the doorway, his eyes landing on the others still scattered around the yard. He took note of Jungkook who seemed preoccupied with the draconic creature, though he seemed to never turn away for too long. He wasn't the one to trust people too easily and a whole lot of them just broke what little he gave them.

It seemed like Yeonjun was catching Jimin up on the events that had unfolded the past few weeks, though Jimin didn't seem surprised to say the least. He had been alive longer than all their ages combined. It probably took a lot more than a crazy warlock and the end of the world to shake him up.

The girls were sitting on one of the fallen trees, talking normally. It was a nice change from the tension the two of them had cycling between them the past month or so. It was like nothing had happened.

Though things seemed calm, Yoongi knew they were anything but. He closed his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. This was the most inconvenient time to be taken away from the others, especially with the old man AWOL.
