SHADOW SHIFTERS

CHAPTER SEVEN

- what if I don't have any?
- that possibility is very slim, kids always take their skills from the fathers.
- what if I'm an exception?
- well if that's the case, I'm going to make sure that you are dangerous with your hands and weapons.
- are you like that as well?
- yep, my father was never home when I grew up, so I learn everything I could, specially how to fight with any kind of weapon, so I could protect my mother and myself.
- are you fast?
- very fast.
- you are just a jack of all trades.
- if you could say that.
They finally made it to the entrance of the dormitory.
- well, is time for you to get some rest, tomorrow it will be harder.
- (sigh) you will kill me before I even get to develop any skill.
- funny, not funny.
He said rolling his eyes.
- good night...
She said turning to head to her room.
- y/n wait...
He called making her stop her tracks.
- yes...?
- here...
He said handing her something wrapped in a cloth.
- what is it?
- something to say thank you for what you did for me while I was out.
- that's not necessary.
- just take it.
He said.
- good night y/n.
- good night Jungkook, thank you.
He nodded before walking away.
- well that was an eventful night.
Y/n said as she walked in the room.
- you are back!!
She got ambushed by Helena once she closed the door behind her.
- what happened? Tell me, did he kiss you, did he...
She got shushed by y/n when she put the hand over her lips.
- please slow down...
She asked her with a smile.
- what happened? I'm dying to know.
- nothing happened, I got ambushed by Changmin when I was on my way to gym.
- what happened, did he do something to you?
- no, Jungkook was sitting under a tree when he tried to come close to me.
- he saved you...
She said with excitement.
- he is terrifying Helena.
- who Changmin?
- no, Jungkook is terrifying, everything went dark at the movement of his hand, he lifted Changmin from the ground and hung him up on a tree.
- what?
- he was going to leave him there but I begged him not to so he let him down.
- why did you do that for? You should have left him hanging from the tree.
- no Helena, I didn't want Jungkook to get in trouble because of that asshole.
- oooohhh, so we care for Jungkook.
- well I do, he seems like a good guy, he gave me this before he went back to his room.
- what is it?
Helena asked while staring a whatever was in the cloth on her hand.
- I don't know, I haven't look at it yet.
- well, what are you waiting for? Open it, or I will.
She tried to take it from y/n but she moved her hand right away.
- I'll do it.
She opened the cloth to find her favorite bread fill with chestnuts and cream.
- how did he know that this is my favorite bread?
- your shields are never up when he is around, how do you think?
- well that won't be a problem anymore.
- why do you say that?
- I finally got it down, it happened when I saw Changmin I don't want him to be able to know what I'm thinking about, so I finally learned how to shut those doors in my mind.
- good job, I knew you could do it, you just needed a little motivation.
- besides not wanting that man to yell at me again, ever again.
- well, is time to get some rest, good night.
- we can share the bread in the morning with breakfast.
- sounds good, night.
- night Helena.
Helena was out before y/n turn the lights off.
- what a day?
She said finally letting her head hit the pillow.
- I'm exhausted...

Jungkook had lay down right away when he made it to his room, later on that night, he dreamed about his mother...

- look at this son, this is what happens when you don't do what I tell you to do.
Namjoon said to him while taking it out on his mother.
- (crying) why do you punish her? Punish me, I'm the one who messed up not her.
He said to his father while the tears streamed down his face.
- because is more fun this way, punishing her reminds you that you do as I say at all times, don't you dare to close your eyes.
- (sobbing) momma... momma!!!
- is ok son, I will be fine...
Jungkook knelt besides the body of his mother.
- you killed her!!!
- did I? If you don't shut up you are going to be next.
Namjoon said slamming the door behind him, leaving Jungkook in the room.
- momma please wake up, you can't leave me with him, he is a monster...

Jungkook jumped on the bed, body drenched with sweat, chest heaving, breathing raggedy, he brought one of his hands to his chest.
- what the hell?
He made his way out of the bed, pouring a cup of water, drinking it all at once, placing the cup down, he ran a hand through his sweaty strands of hair.
- what are these weird dreams?
- are you ok?
He heard y/n's voice in his head.
- how in the world can you be inside my head?
He asked.
- my dreams, I can speak to people when I'm in deep sleep, I have been able to do that since I was very young.
- no one has ever gotten in my head, not even my father.
He said softly.
- I don't know how I'm able to do it, but I heard you scream that's why I came to check up on you.
- you sure are very worried about me lately young one.
- can I care and worry for a friend?
- is that what you consider me young one, your friend?
- are you not?
- I don't have any friends.
- still I can worry about your well being.
- (chuckled) I had an awful nightmare.
- want to talk about it? That would help you feel better.
- nooo...
He breathed out.
- is too awful to remember it y/n.
Her hand caressed his cheek.
- how?
He got startled when he felt her touch.
- how what?
- how can I feel your touch?
- I don't know how I do it either, I just do it.
- you are a little pandora's box.
- what, don't you have secrets too?
- I don't need to hide anything, but I don't really know you.
- I don't understand you.
- there is nothing to understand, we are at different levels.
- we still can get to know one another, can't we?
- y/n, I'm not the friendly type, I have always been a loner.
- well if that's how you prefer it, I'll respect your wish, good night.
That's the last thing she said before the voice was no longer heard.
- what in the world? She can travel through people's minds while she sleeps.
Jungkook could not believe it, y/n was the very first person who had been able to walk in his mind like it was an open door.
In the morning Jungkook washed up and got dressed quickly, then ran out of the room, he wanted, no he needed to talk to y/n, before the whole place turned into caos.
But how was he going to get her to come out of the room that she shared with Helena without being too obvious.
- all I have to do is to call her so she can practice before class.
He nodded making his way to the room.
Y/n was ready, still waiting on Helena who didn't want to get out of the bed.
- who could it be this early?
Y/n wondered still made her way to the door.

- Jungkook?
She was taken by surprise when she found him at the other side of the door.
- I'm sorry for knocking on your door so early but I need to talk to you before this place turn hectic.
- ok, give me a second.
She said walking in the room.
- Helena, I'm going to head out first, have to practice what Jungkook taught me yesterday.
- ok, I'll catch up with you, I'll see you in the dining hall.
- ok.
She said before walking out the room, Jungkook was already a few steps ahead, so she sped up to catch up with him.
- what's the matter Jungkook? Your face is not one with amuse.
