The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 30

The sun had long set. The night sky was clear, the stars as bright as ever. It was a perfect night to say goodbye. The sound of the flowing stream and wolves howling in the distance was all that could be heard. A fresh pile of rocks sat near said stream. The group stared at the makeshift grave from a distance, freshly picked flowers sat atop the pile.

They were quiet, honoring the old man with silence rather than eulogy. The group knew the good things the old man had not only done for them, but for others. It was something that didn't need to be spoken out loud.

The wind kissed their skin as they stared at their grandfather's resting place. Though the body wasn't physically there, his memory was.

"Is someone going to say a few words or just stay silent?" Yeonjun was the first to break the silence, earning a disgusted look from Jungkook.

"Who the hell would do that? We already know how great he was." Jungkook rolled his eyes, the once solemn moment now faded.

"I don't know I saw it in some movies when I was younger." Yeonjun scoffed, shrugging his shoulders. He exaggerated his movements, the two men growing more annoyed at one another.

"Have you ever been to a funeral? One with hunters?" Soobin raised his own eyebrow at the man.

"Hmm, let me think. It's always been just me until this point, so no. I haven't." Yeonjun looked away from them, tongue prodding his cheek.

"Seriously? Not even your parents?" Soobin looked at the man skeptically.

"Soobin... I wouldn't..." Lexi mumbled, attempting to stop him from asking.

"My mother... I don't know where she is or what she is doing. Don't know if she is even alive. Don't really care at this stage in my life." Malice dripped from Yeonjun's voice as he spoke, "My dad, simple. Never met him."

An awkward silence surrounded them for a moment. Soobin nervously chewed on his lip, feeling the tension in the air.

"I need a drink." Yoongi mumbled, being the first person to leave the area. Only his retreating footsteps could be heard as he made his way back towards the house.

A sigh escaped Yeonjun's lips, "Me too." He nearly whispered, following the older man back to the house.

"What the hell." Jungkook shrugged, disappearing from the area.

Soobin opened his mouth and looked at the two girls standing next to him, though not a sound left him. He promptly closed his mouth and walked away with the others.

"Men." Kaitlyn shook her head.

"I really don't know how we're going to handle those guys." Lexi shook her head. The two girls looked at each other before smiles broke out on their faces.

"Will you go with me somewhere tomorrow?" Lexi turned her head away from the girl and to the grave site once again.

"Depends. Where are we going?" Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow, curiosity filling her. It wasn't only evident by her tone but her facial features as well.

"I just have a feeling we may be gone for some time." Lexi let a lopsided smile form on her face, "I need to take care of a few things before that happens."

Kaitlyn's eyes widened in response, "Lexi, you're not."

"Kait, I'm afraid I don't have much of a choice."

"And where do you think you two are going?" Yoongi groaned as he stretched his back. By the time the girls got back to the house, the boys had a bottle of whiskey opened and in their cups.
