The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 26

"This sounds like a bad idea without having Yoongi here with us," Kaitlyn mumbled. The sun was out and illuminated the deserted parking lot. The lines meant to separate the spaces for cars were almost nonexistent and weeds managed to force their way through the cracks of the asphalt, which only added to the abandoned feeling of the establishment. It had been a day, a full 30 hours of constant annoyance from Jungkook to check out the gorgon. Now, here they were.

"Yoongi is only one person," Jungkook said, eyeing the structure in front of them and taking in how little love the outside had received. The brick building before him had been overtaken by cracks and a variety of fauna. There were some windows that had been shattered by local delinquents throwing rocks, "He isn't the whole group. We each bring something to the table."

Kaitlyn rolled her eyes at his response, though he was partially right. She felt a hand fall on her shoulder, and she shifted her attention to the taller brunette next to her. Lexi smirked, "Besides, we have a vampire, shapeshifter, and yours truly."

A tsk interrupted their conversation, making both girls break eye contact and turn to look at the source. Jimin shook his head in disapproval, "And you tell me I'm full of myself?"

"You are," Yeonjun smirked, walking by the developing argument

Jimin turned around; his nicely swept back hair falling casually over his eyes, "You're lucky you're a valid asset to this group or I would rip your throat open."

Yeonjun glanced down at him through his messy hair, "Oh, wow, how terrifying."

His words were laced with sarcasm, which irritated Jimin more than he realized. Lexi rolled her neck, feeling his emotions trickle their way into her own body. No matter how often he would lose his cool, the foreign feeling of someone else's emotions was something she couldn't get used to.

"And you say I can't control my emotions," Lexi mumbled, rubbing her temples.

Kaitlyn sighed, as her eyes landed on the faded lettering etched on the side of the building before them. It was barely visible, but 'Reverie Gardens' was plastered above a set of double doors that seemed to be the main entrance. It had taken the whole night to figure out at least one lead as to where the gorgon could have been hiding. Who knew all it took was for them to stumble upon an obscure business advertisement in the phone book for some garden center that specialized in fantasy statues. It fit almost too perfectly.

Her jumbled thoughts came crashing down seeing Jungkook just a few feet away from the door. They didn't know what they were walking into, much like the night he got himself attacked by the wolf. An uneasy feeling settled in her stomach as she looked back at the others arguing.

"Jungkook is going to get himself killed if you don't shut up and do your jobs," Kaitlyn snapped before sprinting forward towards Jungkook, who was more than ready to do this without them.

Yoongi by all means was not a nervous person. Growing up, he had the balls most kids wouldn't, and, after the whole Wendigo incident that led him into his current life, he became practically fearless. Being so close to death and losing everything you have ever known does that to a person.

Yet, this had the bile churning uncomfortably within his stomach. Each step he took closer to the building made his stomach turn more and his feet become heavier. He parked his car a ways away and walked. This place had to be hidden from the general public, so of course it was a nuisance to get to. Yet, almost too fast, the building stood right before him.

A huge pair of heavy wooden doors blocked him from whatever brought him there in the first place. He couldn't help but have a terrible feeling in his gut as he stood outside. He stared at the doors for who knows how long, doing what he could to procrastinate his entrance. He observed how the wood was warn and slightly cracked, seeming to have been around for ages. Hell, they probably had been. The Hunter organization itself has been around about just as long as the monsters they hunt have been.
