The Purple Eyes | Kim Seungmin

39

Byeol frowned, following Akari towards the woods. The girl pulled out a familiar mask, causing the fairy to second guess her sight.

She's seen this mask before.. but where?

Secretly tailing her for a good thirty minutes or so into the woods, she was shocked at what she saw.

"I'll ask you one more time, batsy." Akari grabbed a bow and arrow.

Jinae rolled her eyes, fighting against the rope that held her to the tree. "The last person who called me basty is dead. You really wanna test that?" She spat, glaring at the human with such disgust.

An arrow came flying and hit the tree just above Jinaes shoulder. She chuckled, raising her brows. "You really think you have much power here?"

  Jinae scoffed, ripping out of the rope without an issue. "I do."

  Majo also let out a chuckle, casually leaning against a tree. "She's stronger than I thought. It was only rope though."

  Jinae just about lunged at the male when she froze in her tracks.

   A familiar fairy stood far behind the two, shaking her head.

  The distraction gave the hunter a chance as another arrow was shot. Just barely hitting her arm, the male began to make fun of Akari at her fail to aim.

  Another arrow was shot in anger. The arrow was aimed right at her head, shocking everyone as it froze right in front of her face.

  "Turns out the infamous Oni and Majo aren't that strong." Byeol chuckled, taking her sweet time to walk up to the group. The frozen arrow fell to the ground with a small noise.

  Attempting to get out another arrow, she gasped as she was unable to move.

  "Jinae, are you alright?"

  "Yeah, I am."

  "Who's the kid?" Majo questioned, not bothering to move from his spot. Byeol rolled her eyes, transitioning to the age of about twenty-seven. "My name is Byeol. Jinae.."

  Her head turned to look at the frozen Akari. "As well as Miyu, Airi, and Seungmin. They are all my family. So naturally, if you intend to harm any of them... I won't hesitate to kill you. I have been there for those sisters since day one. Jinae is now included in the people I vow to protect with my life. If you wish to keep bothering us.. you'll just keep answering to me."

  Her eyes turned back towards the male, showing an innocent smile. "Got it?"

  Akari dropped to the ground, gasping for air. Byeol then approached Jinae, lightly inspecting for wounds. "Thank you, unnie."

"W-what about them? W-where are t-they!" She screamed, losing her voice.

"They both fell into a coma. Miyu is awake.. it's a matter of time before Airi is too."

-

Airi shot awake, grasping at the star pendant around her neck. Miyu immediately got her attention, managing to calm her down.

Seungmin sat back against the wall, not wanting to overwhelm the girl.

"M-miyu-" she whispered as tears began to fall from both sisters eyes.

"P-pappa.. a-and Momma..?"

Miyu bit her lip and nodded her head.

"Their eyes.. that.. t-that m-man-"

"I know." Miyu nodded, tucking her sisters hair behind her ear. "Y-you h-held me.. for h-hours.. w-while m-momma-"

Miyu threw herself onto Airi as sobs filled the room.

Seungmin frowned as they both backed away, covering their left eyes. He walked up to the two, placing a hand on Miyus shoulder as she tried to calm herself.

"Byeol and J-jinae.." Miyu looked up to Seungmin, her eyes widening as she realized Byeol had found the vampire.

"Who.." Airi started. "Who are the people with the masks?"

"I don't know.."

"I'll go. You two stay together, okay? Jisung and Felix are downstairs." Seungmin assured. He softly smiled towards Miyu, giving her shoulder a light squeeze.

"Please be safe."

"I will."

He disappeared, the sisters eyes meeting once again. The vision continued as he arrived, staying behind a tree to observe the situation.
