too sweet, too evil

Loyalty

Yoongi trembled like the air was electric around him, chills ran up his spine the hair all over his body stood up. He could feel his hands start to tremble. It was like his body remembered how it felt to be fed on.

'Not again' he thought to himself, he'll never let that happen again. He tried his best to swallow down the fear making sure his face showed no emotion, no weakness.

The chain betrayed him, it rattled slightly from his trembling. The vampire seemed to notice his eyes glancing down to his neck.

        "So the hunters sent you to assassinate me?"

Yoongi said nothing he had nothing to say his mind racing, he couldn't think straight.

       "Do you even know why we kept you alive?"

       "They're going to come looking for me-"

       "Is that so?" The vampire must've seen how desperate he was, "Do you really believe that? Truthfully, have you ever heard of a search and rescue effort for your fellow colleagues who have gone missing before you?" The vampire asked coldly.

       "If you don't let me go they'll come looking, I'm a high-ranking hunter and they'll come and kill every last one of you bloodsucking bastards until they find me." Yoongi doubled down hoping the threats would be enough to release him.

Yoongi knows the truth, in the guild they were encouraged to stay on their own. Hunters were taught it was safer to stay alone and not work with one another. The hunters were raised and trained in an environment of secrecy, they weren't even allowed to share their names with one another.

       "Your bluffing," the vampire's voice was low, dangerous. "I'd advise you to stop lying to me, I can sense any change in your heartbeat." He took a pause, licking at his lips, "Your heart rate is elevated."

Yoongi backed away, stunned. Not sure what to do or say, he was starting to feel cornered.

       "Do you really think we haven't done intel on your organization, that we know nothing?" He walked across the room sitting on a dark purple velvet chaise at the furthest corner of the room. He crossed his legs, the pants of his suit hiking up revealing the slightest expanse of skin at the ankle, Yoongi could clearly see the bright red bottom of his shoe.

He continued "We have been following you for quite some time. You and I both know if you don't check in after a mission they assume the worst-case scenario. The reality is no one is looking, and no one is coming for you."

       "No-no" Yoongi shook his head.

       "Jimin made sure to destroy your tracking device before moving you here. Simply put, for all they know, You Min Yoongi are officially a dead man." He concluded with a grin.

      "How do you know- How do you know who I am- my name?" Yoongi asked stumbling over his words.

      "We've been watching you for a while, we had no other choice but to keep our eye on you after the incident in Daegu."

Daegu... that was one of his first big missions as a hunter, "You're talking about the nest?"

      "That nest was nothing but a house of newborns, it was a massacre." The vampire spat back at him. "Your organization betrayed the treaty and you had no problem shedding the first blood."

The hunter chuckled lightly under his breath. Yoongi hadn't been a hunter for long. No one is, most die on their first few missions. He had been training for this his whole life, they all know the cost. On his first mission, he eliminated 78 vampires clearing the nest the vampire is speaking of in Daegu. He moved up the ranks fast. He gained respect, money, and power faster than any hunter before him.
