SHADOW SHIFTERS

CHAPTER TWELVE

- because he wants everything that doesn't belong to him, it doesn't matter what it is, if for any reason he finds out what I am, I might as well be dead.
- your own father?
- he is only father by a name y/n, he never had acted like one.
- may I ask, where is your...
- dead, I have the feeling that he killed her but I don't have the proof.
- why do you think that he did?
- she was like me or I am like her, she did everything on her power to keep this secret from him y/n, then when this college got created by the shape shifter and the gifted community, she made sure I was sent here, wanting nothing but to keep me safe, but at the end of the day, she was the one who wasn't safe, Hobi is my uncle so he brought me here.
- what?
- that's a story for another time.
Sometimes I have dreams where he kills her in front of me, but I'm not sure if it's just my mind playing tricks on me or a revelation.
He let out a deep sigh, still not comprehending why he was telling this annoying girl all these secrets about his life, when he had never opened up like that to anyone.

- I couldn't protect her, I couldn't do anything for her, she promised me that I would not come to her aid, no matter what happened, she made me do a blood oath with her so I could not break it.
Y/n didn't understand what possessed her to do what she did but still did it.
Quickly moving forward, she wrapped her arms around him.
Jungkook was caught off guard, his hands were fists on his side while she squeezed him tight, trying to take the pain from him.
- I'm sorry that you lost your mother like that Jungkook, that is really cruel to do to a child.
- I wasn't a child, I knew better than to believe my father's lies.
- (deep breath) I'm so sorry...

Was all y/n could say, while her arms were still around his shoulders, he finally moved his arms, his hands fisted the back of her shirt hard, letting her warmth sip on his skin.
- that was a long time ago, I grew up and moved on.
- how did you? I can't even fathom the thought of losing my mother.
- well as cruel as it sounds y/n, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later.
- I know but I don't want to think about that right now.
She finally broke the hug, he felt the loss of her warmth right away, leaving nothing but a cold sensation all over his body.
- you need to train y/n, you need to get stronger, and be able to control your powers and abilities otherwise you might as well just lay on the ground and call for danger to come at you whenever it wants to.
- if you can help me get there I would be grateful.
- I will...
He promised.
- we can still act like we hate each other when people is around.
He said with a shadow of a smile.
- is that necessary?
- it doesn't matter to me, I'm doing it for you.
- I don't care, doesn't everyone knows in this college that you help the new comers the end up under your wing?
- they should, is one of the things that they tell everyone in their first day.
- well, we can act civilized towards each other Jungkook, not like we want to kill each other every five seconds.
- ok then...
He said extending his hand towards her, she still hesitated for a few seconds.
- I'm being honest y/n.
He said showing his hand to her again.
- fine, I'll believe you...
She said bringing her hand to meet his in a handshake.
- good, now that that's settled, I'm going to rest, the shift takes a lot of my energy, so it makes me feel more tired than usual.
He said lifting his body off the wall.
- good night y/n.
- good night Jungkook, sleep well.
- you too.
He said lastly before walking away from her.
- what in the fucking fuck just happened?
She mumbled before walking in her room, they had taken so long while talking that Helena had already fallen asleep.
- so much for protecting me, huh friend?
She said playfully to no one.
After washing up and getting ready for bed, she laid on it, not being able to stop thinking about the crazy day she have had, everything that went down with Jungkook.
Hours later she finally had fallen asleep, soon enough she was in a deep sleep, then she began to dream...
Or so she thought, when her eyes opened she wasn't in her room anymore but in Jungkook's.
- how the fuck did I get here?
Her mind was going berserk, trying to find an explanation to the situation.
- how do I get out of here?
She wondered averting her eyes from Jungkook who was sprawled on his bed, wearing nothing but a pair of sleeping shorts, the blanket didn't cover much of his body but one of his legs.
- why?
She wanted to break something, invading this man's privacy, but focused on the door, taking a few paces, she was almost to the door when she heard him talk.
- you killed her...
Her head turned around, to see him and his father engaged in a very heated argument.
- you are just as delusional as she was.
- you are nothing but a murderer.
- thank you for the compliment but that is not something that I will acknowledge, you need to leave now, or I will retaliate just for you daring to talk to me like that, you might be my son but...
- noo, I'm not your son, I'm not the son of a fucking killer...
Jungkook was thrown backwards all of the sudden, his father had thrown some sort of ball of energy, the wall cracked in nothing but rubble.
- coward...
- leave before you die, I will kill you on purpose... son.
- I would never understand, how did she even looked at you, how did she put up with you?
- maybe you should think about how did I put up with her.
- (mocking laugh) we will have this conversation again soon... father.
Jungkook said before vanishing into thin air.

The image puffed like a cloud, y/n was back to the present, remembering that she needed to get out of the room.
- fuck, this dreams, when are they going to stop?
She hears Jungkook's voice, then for her horror witnessed him sitting on the bed.
- you better come out, I already know that you are here...
He said going for a pitcher with water that was on a small table in the corner of his room.
- how did you know?
- y/n... please don't insult my intelligence, I am the top student in this place after all, please come on out, or you just came here to see me in my sleeping shorts.
- as if, you think to highly of yourself, I don't know how the hell did I get here.
- the same way you got to the top of the tower yesterday, you can wield distance.
- I was sleeping Jungkook.
- we need to get hands on this training before you wield the distance and end up somewhere you shouldn't.
- I saw your nightmare Jungkook, it was like a projector on the wall.
- great, now you now how great is my relationship with my so call father.
- I'm sorry that you have to go through that, to live that awful nightmare.
- (loud sigh) it's ok, that's life I guess...
- he said, that he will kill you, what makes that ok?
- he had been saying that since I was a youngling, it's not the first time he threatened me like this.
- I don't have the mind to assimilate all this situation with you.
- you don't have to get all worked up about it, I'm a big boy y/n, I can handle it, so please do not worry.
- I wish I could stop worrying, but your life is stake here for the looks of it.
- I'll be fine, I'm more powerful than he is, but he just has no idea, I took after my mom so I have all her skills, powers even her shape shifting, so I will be fine.
- (sigh) I need to get back to my room.
She said making her way to the door.
- no through there, go back the same way you came in.
- I don't know how I did it, so how do you expect me to go back the same way?
- fine, close your eyes, empty your head of every single thought... everything.
He said with a soft voice for a change.
- please don't play tricks on me Jungkook.
