My Red Glowing Eyes

Drunk-Dazed

   Hueningkai, Niki, Jay, Beomgyu, and Soobin come back to the ancient lobby, finding a disturbing and shocking sight. Ophiuchus is right in front of Niki, the boring gaze of the latter is never relieved off the zodiac.

"The Resilience and Bijou team?!" Jay exclaims, locking eyes with Namjoon. The fellow dragon nods with a sharp look in his piercing eyes.

   Hoseok clears his throat and cocks his head where Joshua and Seungkwan are pushing past their limits to heal Taehyung, the phoenix who lost too much blood when attacked by Sunoo.

"What happened?" Soobin walks up to the leader of the Resilience team, Namjoon turns his head at an injured Sunoo, the vampire unconscious but guarded by Yoongi and Chan. The devil and demon ensure that the boy won't be able to break the chains if he ever wakes up with the same cravings. They see Junhui who's still trying to calm down from fright, clinging on to Minghao desperately.

"He went feral, trying to eat them due to exertion and blood loss." Soonyoung explains. He notices the way Niki's eyes sharpen.

   Jeonghan and Jimin are talking and see Hueningkai. The angels smile in relief and hug the boy, but he senses their uneasiness.

"How did you guys get here?" The younger demigod ponders. There's no way Seungcheol had the energy to teleport fourteen people along with the previous five. Jimin snorts and points at Seungcheol's sleeping figure.

"He really went past his limits... and those two are about to knock out." Jimin remarks. Their gazes become solemn when they know what the others are pondering.

"Why are you here anyway?" Niki watches as Jungkook lingers around Joshua and Seungkwan who are healing Taehyung as best as they can. By sheer luck and the will to push past their exhaustion, it seems to be going well.

   Hoseok clears his throat, gesturing to the devil of the Bijou team. "He sensed his mate in grave distress."

"If we didn't come in time, Sunoo may have killed them all." Hansol speaks up. Suddenly he notices Ophiuchus, eyes narrowing.

"She's the thirteenth zodiac?" Everyone turns around and locks onto the snake bearer, gazes darkening. Hoseok and Hansol walk over, and lead the enemy away, somewhere deemed where she can't attempt anything dangerous.

"Why is Heeseung sleeping?" Jay frowns, crouching in front of the wizard.

"Junhui put him under a sleeping spell," Jihoon answers. He and Seokmin are crowding Taehyun, glad to see that the siren is recovering well. Wonwoo and Mingyu check on Jake who's in a fitful recovery. Those who fought the zodiacs are still unconscious.

   Hueningkai lays Beomgyu down, hoping the latter hasn't lost too much blood. "We need to heal him and Seokjin. Is Junhui in the right state to go past his limits?" He looks at Minghao desperately. The devil softly nudges Junhui, the fae nodding, shaking as he makes his way to Beomgyu's figure. Minghao and Soonyoung are right beside him, assuring his stability. Then he gets to work on healing the goblin.

   Niki walks up to Chan, greeting his fellow kin and Yoongi. The devil rolls his eyes, but is clearly angry about the vampire prince harming his dear friends. Let alone, a vampire related to the one who killed his family in cold blood.

"He needs to be fed. Does he eat humans?" The older lowly speaks, tongue full of venom. Niki shakes his head.

"Animals. He hunts for them." He answers.

  Heeseung stirs awake, hearing low murmurs and notices it's sunset. "If this happens again, I'm afraid we'll have to kill him or turn him in to the council and see what they'll do."
