Blood Bound: Awakening

Chapter 15: First Attack

The night was eerily silent as Y/n, Hobi, and Taehyung were escorted through the city by Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin. The vampires moved with an unsettling grace, their presence exuding a quiet menace. The trio's minds were a whirlwind of confusion and fear, held captive by Jimin's manipulative powers.

As they approached a deserted industrial area on the outskirts of Seoul, a sense of dread settled over the trio. The vampires halted in front of an abandoned warehouse, its walls covered in graffiti and its windows broken. The structure loomed like a dark sentinel, its interior shrouded in shadows.

"This way," Jin commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Inside the warehouse, the atmosphere grew colder, the silence punctuated only by the distant sound of dripping water. The vampires led their captives deeper into the building, stopping in a large, empty room illuminated by a single flickering light bulb.

"We need to wait here for further instructions," Jungkook said, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of danger.

Jimin, his gaze fixed on Y/n, stepped closer. "You must be wondering why we've brought you here," he said softly, his voice dripping with false sympathy.

Y/n, feeling a surge of defiance, looked him in the eye. "What do you want from us?"

Before Jimin could respond, a sudden noise echoed through the warehouse. The sound of footsteps approached rapidly, followed by the low murmur of voices. The vampires tensed, their predatory instincts kicking in.

"Stay here," Jin ordered, signaling Jimin and Jungkook to investigate.

As the two vampires moved toward the source of the noise, the trio exchanged nervous glances. Hobi, always protective, whispered, "We need to find a way out of here."

Taehyung nodded, his mind racing. "But how? They're too powerful."

Y/n, feeling an inexplicable surge of energy, took a deep breath. "We have to try. There must be a way."

Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook reached the entrance of the warehouse, their senses on high alert. Suddenly, the door burst open, and a group of rogue vampires stormed in, their eyes glowing with malevolent intent.

"It's a trap!" Jungkook shouted, realizing they had been lured into an ambush.

Back in the room, Jin heard Jungkook's warning and turned to the trio. "Stay close to me," he ordered, drawing a sleek, silver blade from his coat.

The rogue vampires charged, their movements a blur of speed and aggression. Jimin and Jungkook fought back fiercely, their abilities and training evident in every strike. The clash of steel and the growls of combatants echoed through the warehouse.

Amidst the chaos, Y/n felt a strange sensation coursing through her veins. It was as if her very essence was awakening, responding to the danger. Her vision sharpened, and her senses heightened, revealing a world tinged with supernatural clarity.

Hobi, too, felt a change within himself. His muscles tensed, and a primal energy surged through him. He looked at Y/n and Taehyung, a newfound determination in his eyes. "We need to help them."

Taehyung, sensing his friends' resolve, nodded. "Let's do this."

With Jin fending off the rogue vampires, the trio seized the opportunity to escape. They moved quickly, darting through the shadows and using the chaos to their advantage. But as they reached the exit, a group of rogue vampires blocked their path.

Y/n, her instincts taking over, grabbed a nearby metal pipe and swung it with surprising strength. The impact sent one of the vampires sprawling, a look of shock on its face.

Hobi, tapping into his newfound power, tackled another vampire, his strength overwhelming his opponent. Taehyung, relying on his wits, used the environment to his advantage, leading one of the attackers into a trap and disabling it.

Despite their efforts, the vampires were relentless. Jin, seeing the trio in danger, fought his way through the melee to reach them. "We need to get out of here, now!" he shouted, his voice cutting through the din.

Together, they made their way to a side exit, the rogue vampires hot on their heels. Just as they were about to break free, a vampire lunged at Y/n, its claws extended. Jin intercepted the attack, his blade slicing through the air and severing the vampire's hand.

"Go!" Jin urged, covering their escape.

The trio burst out of the warehouse, the cold night air hitting them like a wave. They ran, their breaths coming in ragged gasps, as the sounds of battle faded behind them. They didn't stop until they reached the relative safety of a nearby alley.

"We need to keep moving," Hobi said, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of pursuit.

Y/n nodded, still feeling the adrenaline coursing through her veins. "We can't go back to the campus. They'll find us there."

Taehyung, catching his breath, looked at his friends. "What do we do now?"

Before they could formulate a plan, Jin appeared at the end of the alley, his coat stained with blood but his expression calm. "You did well," he said, his voice steady. "But this is far from over. We need to find a safe place to regroup and figure out our next move."

As they followed Jin into the shadows, the trio realized that their lives had changed irrevocably. They were no longer ordinary students but pawns in a deadly game between powerful forces. And with each passing moment, the stakes grew higher, and the danger more imminent.
