Nightingale | Hyung line FF✔

14

We returned hours later, Agatha had a knowing smirk as she noticed I was only wearing my coat and my dress seemed to be tied like a skirt around my waist.

"Wildflowers can be brutal, huh?" She teased. Namjoon smirked but I was blushing so badly. My face felt hot and I hurried into her hut to find some of the extra clothing she'd let me wear when I stayed here. When I was completely dressed, I headed back out but was drawn to Brigsby who had made some tea.

"Nightingale, come sit with me. Master Namjoon and Agatha are preparing the gems." He said, setting down some little cakes and a few cups. I flattened down the moss green dress with sunflower seed detailing and sat down across from him.
He placed the cup in front of me and poured the tea into it from the kettle.

"Thank you, Brigsby." I replied with a gentle smile. We sipped out tea and I nibbled on one of the little cakes he had made.

"Nightingale, are you sure you're ready for this?" He asked.

"I will be fine. The Masters... ah.. no, not Masters. They're one with me now. I'm theirs and they are mine. I am stronger than they are right now, but I'll be weaker once the power gets put into the veil. " I said, sorting out a thought.

"I know, but are you really ready?" He asked again.

"Is anyone really ready? Most of my kind have been killed for doing what I'm about to do. Not to mention they're all hunted down and killed by these beasts who only seek to gain their power and keep the upper hand. So... I'm about as ready as I can be, given the whole situation." I replied, sighing at how unprepared I truly felt.

"I admire you, trying to be strong about all of this. I wish I could have prepared you better." Brigsby seemed lost in his thoughts for a moment. I reached over and put my hand on top of his.

"You did all you could in raising me. It's because of you that I feel so strong and determined. It's because of you that... while I fear all the things that can... and will come after me, try to kill me... I am here, doing my best for those I love and those who cannot defend themselves." I replied. He smiled at me and I gave him my genuine smile in return.
After another hour of just chatting, and helping him clean up a bit after our tea and cakes- Agatha came back into her hut and smiled as us.

"We're all set. Now to get the location prepped. Come, Namjoon is waiting for us outside." She stated, grabbing a few things and shoving them into a leather bag that she swung over her shoulder as we walked outside. Namjoon helped me back up onto the horse with him. Agatha and Brigsby took the horse drawn cart that Agatha liked to use. We headed back to the field behind the manor, there in the tall overgrown grass and wheat that remained unkempt was a clearing, in that clearing was a large stone circular altar. The symbols along the side of the base were not familiar to me.

"Namjoon, set the crystals up first, then put the gems in front of their corresponding crystal." Agatha instructed. Brigsby noted the others in the distance, headed toward us. Hoseok and Yoongi were carrying boxes of candle brea's and candles to go into them. Agatha instructed Hoseok, Yoongi and Brigsby on where to set them up. Jin joined us with a bottle of wine and handed me a glass he'd poured.

"Here you are my sweet Nightingale. A little liquid courage to ease you." He grinned and poured himself a glass. We sipped our wine together, watching the others. Yoongi came over and as Jin was about to pour him a glass, Yoongi took the whole bottle from Jin and gulped away. Finally stopping when he swallowed his fill, he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me deeply, the taste of wine on his tongue and lips seemed sweeter somehow.
"Show off." Jin muttered loud enough for us to hear as Yoongi parted from my lips, he smirked at Jin and kissed my forehead.

"You were going to do the same thing, don't be mad I got to do it first." Yoongi was now taunting Jin. However, Jin saw through it and ignored the tease.

"Shall we get ready?" He asked Yoongi who nodded and turned away from me.

"We won't be far, lovely bird. Remember that we'll protect you at all costs." Jin assured me, leaning down and kissing me slowly. I moaned against his lips and he pulled me closer to him.
"If I could... I'd ravage you right here my sweet Nightingale. But we need to do this." He hesitantly pulled away, leaving one more kiss on my forehead.
Hoseok approached and took my hand in his, he brought my hands to his lips and kissed my knuckles softly. I giggled and let him lead me closer to where Namjoon was waiting by the stone structure. Hoseok gave me a soft sweet kiss on the lips as he left me with Namjoon.

"You're going to stand right here, my sweet little bird." Namjoon said as he stood behind me, moving me into place. I felt his arms go around me and I tilted my head to the side as he leaned down, his lips grazed my neck.
"I love you, my sweet Nightingale. You're going to be fine, you can do this. We'll be here protecting you." He whispered softly. My body wanted to melt into him, but I knew that feeling would have to be put on hold for right now.

"I trust you." I replied. Namjoon moved around again, releasing me from his hold. He captured my lips with his and kissed me deeply before he parted, slowly stepping away from me and getting into position. Agatha approached next, she smiled and stood beside me as she removed a crystal from her pocket and started to chant.

"What's that for?" I asked her after she finished and turned to look at me.

"A barrier spell. Here, hold onto this crystal, the barrier will protect only you, and only while you're holding that. Drop it and you'll be vulnerable to attacks." Agatha explained and warned me of the consequences.

"I've got it, thank you." I said to her, knowing that this wasn't making me feel any more at ease. I looked around, my men, my loves... they were in position, their backs to me as they looked out. Minutes stood between me and my possible end, but Agatha took my hand and smiled at me.

"You'll be fine, have faith." She tried to assure me. Timed moved slow but as the moment approached, Agatha turned to me.
"You have to focus on the veil, you need to envision this... shield, a sheer sheet of air that protects two worlds that are one. You have to put all your energy into it." She explained.

"Okay... I can do it." I said to myself, hoping I'd believe it. When Agatha made the candles light with fury, I knew it was time.

"Remember, we're here with you." Jin said from a distance.

"We won't let anyone or anything touch you." Yoongi added.

"Chin up sweet Nightingale, You've got this." Hoseok replied.

"My strong sweet bird, we won't let you down." Namjoon's soothing voice reached me and I nodded. Focusing on the structure with the gems, holding the crystal tightly in my hand as I thought of the veil, the sheer invisible thing that separated two worlds that accidentally combined. As I stood there and focused all my energy on the gems, I could hear the growls and screeches of creatures.... demons coming for me. Having trust in my four protectors, I kept my focus. I heard them though, the slashes and tearing sounds of my protectors doing their jobs- protecting me from these creatures. I kept my eyes open, seeing body parts of demons, some parts of a snake-like creature wiggled on the ground near me. I turned to look at the four who fought and defeated the creatures one by one. But these creatures kept coming.

My eyes kept focusing on the gems as my heart beat so fast I thought I'd faint. I just couldn't see what was in front of me, but could see the four beings who were protecting me. I heard the growls of the creatures, as they charged at me. But something held them back, I just couldn't see what. I had assumed it was Namjoon as I heard him growl back at the creatures.
My eyes were only focused on the gems, thoughts on making the world safe. A horrible sound that made my heart stop. I just kept my focus on the thoughts of the veil though. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster as more creatures came closer and closer. And I just focused, silently chanting to myself.

As I saw my loves protecting me, slashing at them and beating them back. I was in my head, praying for this to go well, for these sounds to stop. Then the light came...
The light... It was so beautiful as it came through the darkness of night and shadows, washing them away and illuminating everything in the field. It lit up my skin, made my eyes shine, made the Crystal in my hand glow, it lit up the monsters that had come for us, made them shine brightly and move away from us.

I looked around, and everything was bright. The creatures being pulled away from us. I felt like I was burning, but I was okay. I felt like I was on fire, but I was okay. I felt like I was going to burst, but I was okay. I closed my eyes and let the feeling go, hearing the screams and wails of these creatures that remained as they went to the other side of the veil. When I opened my eyes again the light pulled away from me and off. I felt weak then, my legs gave out and I fell back. I felt arms wrap around me and when I looked up, Namjoon was there with the others, he lifted me into his arms and rubbed his nose against mine.

"I love you, my beautiful bird. We all do, and we will protect you with our lives, forever." Namjoon said softly. I could see the cuts and scratches on his shoulders and arm, his suit was torn and I was almost thankful for the beautiful skin of his that it revealed.. but he and the others were wounded.

"Let's get our little Nightingale inside." Jin said as he turned to walk ahead of us. I noticed he was limping a little. I then noticed Yoongi, carrying Hoseok in his arms alongside us. Hoseok looked really bad. Yoongi didn't exactly look like he should be carrying him though, and as the thought passed through my head... Yoongi stumbled, almost dropping Hoseok but Brigsby rushed over in time and helped Yoongi carry him.As they took me back inside, they laid me down on Namjoon's bed, then the four of them stripped me down and started to remove their own clothing. They scooped me back up again and the five of us got into the shower, with two of them keeping me upright while the other two washed my body.

When all five of us were cleaned and we were fully dried, we got into Namjoon's bed. We laid there, the five of us still naked. Too tired to do anything, we.. or at least I drifted off to sleep.


(A/N: I was going to wait to post this, as I have more almost ready- but I figured I had made you wait long enough. I've been visiting family, still am, trying to make choices and well.. life in general has been hectic- Shout out to Namjoon's song. lol. 
Anyway, thank you for your patience. I have a lot more coming soon. )
