The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 28

Soobin moved around in a haze. He was in a house that was all too familiar. It was eerily quiet as he walked through the dimly lit living room. Out of nowhere, blood started to seep from the walls and floor, countless bodies laying on the ground. He felt his heart race seeing the faces of people he had grown to care for and trust. He carefully maneuvered through the gruesome mess that surrounded him. He did his best not to look down at the destroyed mangled corpses they had become.

He moved onwards hoping to find someone, anyone that still had a pulse, but he was sadly mistaken. His heart sank seeing the woman who had led him for so long, lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. He recognized the tattoo that was on her arm, since her head, legs, and most of her torso were gone. He swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat, tearing his eyes away from the gruesome sight. A splash made him jump and spin around only to see the Vetala strike towards him.

Soobin jumped up and was sitting in his bed, sweat dripping down his body. His eyes darted around the room, taking in his surroundings as he trained to control his harbored and shallow breath. The sun shone through the slits in the curtains, signifying it was morning. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, trying to calm his racing heart. He may have been used to close calls with death, but this time was a breaking point.

Yoongi walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel. He gazed at the kid before him, noting how bad he was sweating. "Bad dream?" He mumbled as he made his way to the opposite bed, stuffing his old clothes into his bag.

"What gave it away?" Soobin mumbled sarcastically, running his hands down his face to not only wake himself up, but get rid of some of the sweat that accumulated.

Yoongi rolled his eyes at him. He was the first of the rest of them to become a hunter. He was there when an eleven year old Jungkook first joined the group and the nightmares he would go through, waking up in a cold sweat. Then another year later he could picture perfectly a 12 year old Kaitlyn that was covered in blood and crying the first time they found her, "Go shower, I don't need you stinking up the car on the way home."

Soobin rolled his eyes as he rose to his feet, already feeling disgusting from the drying sweat. He snuck off to the bathroom, mumbling nonsense under his breath.

When he heard the water running, Yoongi took out his phone. He hadn't heard a word from the others and knew it could be either good or bad. He sighed as he flipped through his contacts. He shrugged and called the first person he saw, which was Jungkook. He lazily put his phone on speaker as he laid down on his bed, not having the energy to sit.

The phone rang a few times before a groggy Jungkook answered. He only said hello, but sounded like he didn't get much sleep, "Put me on speaker."

"Well good morning to you too." Jungkook mumbled, putting the phone on speaker like the man asked, "There everyone can hear you now."

"Just wanted to make sure everyone is alive." Yoongi sighed, "I have a lot to say, but it's better if we wait until I'm back there."

"Well that's just going to make us anxious." Kaitlyn mumbled. She also sounded tired but that was usual.

"I don't care. Now, answer my other question." Yoongi cracked one of his knuckles.

"Yes, everyone is alive." Lexi tried her best to sound awake.

"What did you do?" Yoongi sat up in his bed.

"What? Nothing..." Yeonjun responded quickly.

Yoongi glared at his phone, knowing they were lying to him, "I will be home soon. That isn't a threat, it's a warning." Yoongi hung up the phone immediately and stood up.
