And so the lamp became the beast

They're Coming

@Amthakur I see u bro <3

Ryujin held Yeji's hand as she pulled her into the living room. She was unwilling to be separated from the woman if she didn't have to be. "Yuna, what did you see?" Soobin demanded.

Yuna looked worried, and that struck real fear into Ryujin's heart. She knew her eyes were changing. "There are so many of them," Yuna whispered. "I don't know how I didn't get a full image of them before. They must have constantly changed their minds." Yuna sketched onto the paper. She drew a shadowy crowd. There were no facial features on the people, but there were at least forty. "Someone has been amassing a newborn army. I thought I was getting glimpses of different things across the country. They've been spread out throughout the western seaboard." Seulgi gasped. "The decision has been made. They're all meeting up."

"Where are they going?" Taeyong asked.

"Here. They're coming here."

"How soon?"

"They haven't decided yet. But they have decided they're coming here. It will take them time to gather everyone, but when they're together they will come here."

Ryujin sat down hard on the arm of the couch. Yeji put a hand on Ryujin's shoulder. Forty newborns? There were going to be forty newborns here in Forks? Her father lived here. Her best friends lived here. Her mate lived here.

"What do we do?" Soobin asked. "We've been preparing, but not for anything of this scale."

Taeyong ran a hand through his blonde hair, casually smoothing all strands into place. "We have a few options." He sighed heavily. "We call the Volturi for help. We amass an army of our own. We train the wolves and hope for the best. We do one, two, or all three." Taeyong sat down on the couch, facing his family. "We need to consider our options. They're all dangerous."

The room went silent. No one seemed to want to begin the conversation. Ryujin looked up at Yeji. Yeji gave her a small, sad smile. Ryujin covered Yeji's hand with her own. "We need to call Yeonjun." Yeji's hand tightened infinitesimally on Ryujin's shoulder.

Taeyong nodded. "I agree." He looked at Yeji. She nodded. "Beyond that, I think we need to talk to the wolves right away. Ryujin?"

Ryujin grabbed her phone and called San. "San, hey it's me. I'm at the Hwang's. Something is happening. We need the entire pack here right now." San hung up without answering. It took less than five minutes for Ryujin to hear the call of her alpha. She jumped up from her seat. The shaking began immediately as Ryujin's eyes flashed gold.

"Not in the house Ryujin!" Seulgi yelled!

Ryujin held up one finger. "I've," she gritted her teeth, "got it." The shaking subsided, but Ryujin's eyes continued to glow. "I'm gonna go outside. I want to be changed when they get here." Ryujin turned to head outside but paused before she could. She came back and grabbed Yeji's hand, pulling her closer. Ryujin kissed Ryujin quickly. Yeji gasped in surprise. She cupped Ryujin's face, oblivious to her family watching. Beomgyu whooped in the background and Ryujin flipped him off without breaking away from Yeji. Ryujin finally leaned back, breathless. Yeji smirked and hurried out into the yard. Yeji watched the darkness through the open door. She turned to her family to find most of them watching her.

Seulgi looked smug. Yuna was sketching, and Soobin was watching her. Taeyong looked happy. Bemgyu was making an obscene gesture with his hands. "Focus!" Yeji snapped.
